In the letter, Bai Qingyan inford her siblings that she had already discussed with Murong Li, the Monarch of Yan Kingdom, and the Ninth Prince Murong Yan about future nation rger strategy, using national policies to determine the rger, and shared this information with her brother and sister.
Bai Qingqi and Bai Jinxiu read the letter and felt so admiration for Murong Li, the young Emperor of Yan, not expecting the young Emperor to have such an openness and boldness to prioritize the populace over power.
In the letter, Bai Qingyan also ntioned the troop deploynt at Yan Kingdom’s border was ant to pave the way for Murong Li to propose the rger strategy to the court officials, therefore, they must seize Yunjing for Zhou, and when Murong Li proposes the rger strategy, Zhou will offer Yunjing to Yan Kingdom as a gift.
Bai Qingqi understood why his eldest sister chose to use national policies to... whoever can make the people prosperous will decide the fate of two nations, thus it benefits the populace no matter whose national policy prevails or who holds the realm!
The nation whose policy can make the people prosperous will surely implent its policy after the two nations rge, and such a contested national policy will have already been practiced and proven effective, ensuring a better life for the people of the other nation!
His eldest sister is practicing the Bai family’s original intent since the establishnt of Bai family’s military...
Looking at his eldest sister’s handwritten letter, Bai Qingqi’s anxious heart gradually cald down.
Just a mont ago, Bai Qingqi was pondering whether he should prepare early, seeing the current dissatisfaction of the Yan Army towards Bai family’s moving into Xiliang Imperial Palace.
He was blinded by his own perception.
The Bai family’s battles were never ant to fight for territories.
Their wars should be fought for the unification of the world and the welfare of the populace. This is the significance of the Bai family coming to this world. Live not diocrely, do not follow the crowd, do not vie for power and profit, but... fight for the ambition within their hearts, for the achievents that can be rembered by future generations, for leaving a na in history, and strive to transform this world into the one they envision.
This makes their presence in this world worthwhile.
Wei Zhong glanced at the screen and asked in a low voice, "Is the Fifth Young Master in any danger?"
"With Doctor Hong present, there should be no serious issue!" Bai Jinxiu’s words were either to comfort Wei Zhong or herself. "Eunuch Wei, you must be exhausted from the journey, take a rest first!"
"I cannot rest yet; I have to et the Ninth Prince of Yan as ordered." Wei Zhong replied respectfully. "Moreover, His Majesty asked to inquire with the Third Young Master if there is anyone captured alive from General Cui Shanzhong’s side aware of dealings between Empress Dowager of Yan and General Cui Shanzhong?"
Bai Qingqi nodded; he had been cautious about this matter early on, ordering his n to closely monitor General Cui Shanzhong’s close aides before attacking Xiliang’s Imperial Palace, capturing them alive.
He didn’t know about the rger using national policies discussion between Yan Kingdom and Zhou; he only sensed that since his eldest sister had deployed troops at Yan Kingdom’s border intending to attack, their reason for leaving must be legitimate and evidence should be solid.
Such evidence should at least convince the soldiers fighting for Zhou, enabling them to rally their spirits.
"The close aides of General Cui Shanzhong have been captured, Ah Jue interrogated them last night..." Bai Qingqi gestured to the guard outside, "Let have soone take Eunuch Wei to et them."
"Thank you, Third Young Master!"

Xiao Rongyan ordered to give Li Tianjiao and General Cui Shanzhong a proper burial after Bai Qingyu was moved and settled by Zhou soldiers.
But Xiao Rongyan did not settle in Xiliang Imperial Palace; instead, he moved out after Zhou and Yan Armies cleared the residences of Eight Great Families of Xiliang, choosing to stay in the spacious Yun family compound.
This caused great speculation across Yan.
After all, Zhou and Yan Kingdom initially stated that whoever first entered Zhou Imperial Palace would claim Yunjing.
Although Bai Qingqi from Zhou Army rescued people and reached Xiliang Palace’s main hall first, their Ninth Prince arrived earlier and while Zhou Army controlled the north gate of the palace, Yan Army controlled the east gate simultaneously.
The Yan Army and Zhou Army should have arrived at the palace simultaneously, and the Ninth Prince along with Zhou’s Fifth Young Master witnessed the death of Xiliang Emperor Li Tianjiao together outside the hall. So whether Yunjing belongs to Yan Kingdom or Zhou generates doubts among Zhou’s and Yan’s commanders alike.
Afterwards... both Yan and Zhou commanders began to argue fiercely over who first captured Yunjing, should Yunjing belong to Zhou... or to Yan Kingdom, nearly escalating into a fight.
If it weren’t for Bai Jinzhi’s tily intervention to restrain her own soldiers, there could have been a battle between Zhou and Yan imdiately after fighting Xiliang.
Bai Jinzhi knew the Ninth Prince of Yan was her brother-in-law, but like the soldiers from both sides, she shared concerns about whether Yunjing should belong to Zhou or Yan.
However, Bai Jinzhi felt the possibility of Yunjing belonging to Zhou was higher. Not to ntion anything else, but this ti... without Bai’s Fifth Brother and the sacrifice of Bai family’s soldiers opening the north gate and east gate, neither Yan nor Zhou forces could enter!
Moreover, Zhou could have chosen to only open the north gate, or both north and south gates, making sure Third Brother’s n and her n entered Yunjing, by the ti they reached the palace, Yan forces entering from the east probably wouldn’t have made it.
Lu Yuanpeng almost fought with Yan commanders, though restrained by mbers, he was still displeased, following Cheng Yuanzhi back to face military discipline.
As soon as they entered the temporary barracks, Cheng Yuanzhi tossed his whip onto the table and demanded, "Do you know your mistake?!"
Lu Yuanpeng stiffened his neck, "I don’t know! I did nothing wrong! Yan Kingdom backstabbed Bai Qingyu and led to the capture of Bai family soldiers! It caused Bai family elder sister to give birth prematurely! If it weren’t for our Bai family soldiers risking everything to open the east gate while capturing Yunjing, how would Yan Kingdom get in? How dare they compete with us Zhou for Yunjing! The bodies at the gate’s pulley... are all Bai family soldiers, have you seen them, General?!"
Lu Yuanpeng beca increasingly emotional, eyes turning red.
Cheng Yuanzhi slamd his hand on the table, "I am asking you, after yelling for so long at Yan soldiers disparaging Bai family soldiers, why didn’t you act? The Yan soldiers stood there, asking to be hit... why didn’t you hit them?! Why didn’t you strike when they claid Bai family soldiers willingly opened the gate at their behest?! What are your hands and legs for?!"
Lu Yuanpeng was dumbfounded, imdiately rolled up his sleeves, "I will go now and beat the Yan soldiers, until they submit!"
