Many days later, Feng Jinyu personally led the army and joined forces with Xiao Su to march straight to the western border.
I thought it would be a tough fight, but the father and son of the Song family actually surrendered.
"Second brother, I'm sorry that I came too late and made you suffer!" When Xiao Su saw Xiao Jing's feet were tied, he wanted to beat the father and son of the Song family to death.
"Brother, I'm fine. I'm a man, unlike Baili Qingluan, who was treated like this for eight years and didn't even have enough to eat..."
“Gugugugugu…”
Xiao Jing's stomach growled in agreement, "Brother, I'm hungry. I haven't had a full meal in several days..."
"Okay, okay, we can have dinner when we get out."
Feng Jinyu saw that Xiao Jing was tortured into a state of being neither human nor ghost in just a few days. He couldn't imagine how Baili Qingluan, a weak woman with amazing strength, would be treated harshly?
"Go tell Baili Xuance that the father and son of the Song family have been apprehended. What do you need to do with the Song family so that they can withdraw their troops?"
At this time, Baili Xuance, Baili Xuanlang and Baili Mingde were visiting the Dongfang family's mansion.
"Second brother, will the mother and son like this big house?"
Baili Xuanlang carefully observed every plant and tree in the house from the moment he entered. "Good, very good. Shouldn't they return to the Xirong capital? Why are they still staying here?"
"This is all your eldest sister's idea. Our eldest nephew's adoptive mother is the Princess of Beiyi, the Protector of the Country. This child is a filial child, and he has to take care of both sides. His family is settled here. Whether he goes to Xirong or to Huayang County to see his adoptive parents, this place is the most convenient."
"I think the Dongfang family's farm has a good annual income, enough for my nephew to eat, and the villa is also profitable..." Baili Xuanlang flipped through the account book a few times and said casually.
"How can this be possible? Our nephew needs 80% of the food fiefs of the five cities just to barely have enough to eat!"
"Eighty percent? Big Brother! Shouldn't it be 100 percent? Are we going to return the five cities we captured to Beiyi?"
Baili Xuance said, "I didn't want to return it to Beiyi, but the princess and her husband are my nephew's adoptive parents. We must repay this favor, but not for free! Not only must my nephew enjoy jurisdiction over the five cities, but he must also enjoy 80% of the fiefdom. Furthermore, the Beiyi court must confer the title of king on our nephew, ensuring his descendants inherit the throne!"
"The Beiyi court may not agree. Since ancient times, kings of foreign surnames have had a hard time and are often suppressed! It would be better for them to return to our Xirong."
"Hmph!" Baili Xuance snorted. "Our nephew is no ordinary king of a foreign surname. His backer is Xirong. And now that we have captured these five cities, they belong to us. If Beiyi wants to maintain its territorial integrity, it must agree to our conditions!"
"Report!"
A Xirong soldier hurried in with a letter in his hand, "Your Highness, there's a letter from the Beiyi camp."
Baili Xuance looked at the letter and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"Brother, what's in the letter?"
"Song Heng and Song Linxiao have been captured by Feng Jinyu. What should we do with them in order to withdraw our troops?"
"Then quickly have them send the Song family father and son over here. I'm itching to get my hands dirty." Baili Xuanlang rubbed his hands excitedly, "I want to avenge my elder sister myself!"
"Dad, Second Uncle." Baili Mingde said, "How to deal with the Song family should be decided by Auntie."
"This..." Baili Xuance was a little worried, worried that Baili Qingluan would soften her heart. "Okay, let's write a letter to your aunt first and see what she thinks. Then we can reply to the Beiyi court."
"Father, there's no need to write. I'll go to Huayang County and tell Auntie in person."
Baili Mingde was anxious to see Su Ning'an.
"Brother, I'm going with Mingde! We'll set off today."
Baili Xuance's face darkened. "If you all go, what should I do?!"
"Brother, you have plenty of opportunities to meet them. We need you here and we can't do without you! Mingde, let's go quickly."
Baili Xuanlang grabbed Baili Mingde and ran away.
The uncle and nephew ran faster than rabbits!
Looking at the uncle and nephew walking away, Baili Xuance smiled helplessly.
The day before the plum blossom viewing banquet, the uncle and nephew rushed to Huayang County.
The inspections at the city gates of Huayang County were stricter than usual, and the number of carriages entering and leaving was twice as much as usual.
"Uncle, they're checking very strictly. How are we going to get in? It seems we can only sneak in at night."
Baili Xuanlang looked at Baili Mingde's red cheeks from the cold and rubbed them with his hands. "We can't wait until nightfall. There are still several hours left. Let's sneak into a caravan and follow them in."
Then Baili Xuanlang searched for a possible target.
Soon, the Xu family's carriage at the end of the line appeared in Baili Xuanlang's sight.
The Xu family traveled in two carriages, and there were only two guards accompanying the carriages.
"Mingde, the target has appeared."
"Miss, we have arrived in Huayang County."
Xu Yulan opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, pulled aside the curtain, and glanced towards the city gate. "There are twice as many people entering the city today as last time. We may not be able to enter the city within half an incense stick."
"Miss, I see there are yamen runners with swords in the front row. The princess may have invited the wives and daughters of officials to the banquet."
Xu Yulan frowned slightly. She knew her own status and asked, "Is it inappropriate for me, your young lady, to attend the banquet?"
"Why is it inappropriate? The princess specifically asked you to go. Besides, not only are the children of noble families and the wives of officials invited, but also the families of the ten richest merchants in Huayang County. You are the richest man in Xishui County and the princess's man, so naturally..."
Before he could finish his words, the carriage shook violently. The next second, Baili Xuanlang entered the carriage and quickly pressed the maid's mute point.
"You... who are you?" Xu Yulan subconsciously picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at Baili Xuanlang!
