Chapter 172: Caught Off Guard_1

Bai Jinzhi, clutching her silver spear and panting heavily, also approached Bai Qingyan, unable to contain her excitement and with bright eyes: "Eldest Young Lady!"

Bai Qingyan glanced at Bai Jinzhi, signaling her to calm down. She took the towel offered by Xiao Ruohai to wipe her sweat, unfastened the heavy iron sandbags from her arms, wrapped herself in a cloak, and said, "Let's go..."

When Bai Qingyan entered the Government Office, Shi Panshan, who was fastening his battle armor cloak, pulled Zhen Zeping and followed closely behind her.

She turned her head to greet Shi Panshan and Zhen Zeping, and they returned the salute with cupped fists.

"In the middle of the night, could it be that the Xiliang army has launched a surprise attack?" Zhen Zeping's booming voice preceded his entrance.

The Crown Prince, along with his three counselors and General Zhang Duanrui, stood before a map, discussing something. Hearing Zhen Zeping's voice, they turned around.
