Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1119

Chapter 1119 -1113: Something Fishy

Yun Tianao was anxious to attack the city, and hurriedly said, “They have concentrated their forces on defending the south gate to prevent the Elephant Army from coming. That’s one reason grandfather chose to attack the east gate!”

Yun Poxing still shook his head, feeling uneasy in his heart: “But… it’s still too fast! The city gate opened without even a fight… I’m afraid this is!”

Yun Tianao stared at the already open city gate, feeling extremely worried, only thinking that his grandfather was truly frightened by Bai Qingyan.

He said, “If grandfather is afraid! I’ll lead the troops in first! Grandfather can come in when there’s no danger! We can’t hesitate any longer!”

Yun Lingzhi heard this and was about to reprimand Yun Tianao when he saw a Xiliang general quickly approaching.

“Great General! Something has happened to the Great General!” The Xiliang general quickly approached, saluted Yun Poxing, and said, “General, treacherous Zhou people have gone to Ansan, attacking our base, saying they want to capture His Majesty alive!”

“Where are the people?” Yun Poxing tightened the reins and asked.

“The person was covered in blood and lost their breath as soon as the message was delivered!” replied the Xiliang general.

“A Ye!” Yun Lingzhi’s heart was in his throat. He glanced at the Pingyang City gate, which seemed to be within reach, fearing that Yun Poxing would abandon the siege and directly return to rescue the Empress, “The city gate is already open. If we leave now, what will happen to the elite Huoyun Army squad that has entered the city?”

“But if we don’t go back, what will happen to His Majesty?!” Yun Tianao paled upon hearing Li Tianjiao was in danger, “Grandfather!”

“Right now, we have no choice but to fight to the death, charging into the city. As long as we capture Bai Qingyan alive, are we still afraid we can’t trade for our Empress?” Yun Lingzhi shouted.

“How can you say that! That is our Xiliang’s Empress, our Empress! If even the Empress were captured, Xiliang would be finished!” Yun Tianao clasped his fists and pleaded with Yun Poxing, “Grandfather, let me take people back to rescue the Empress!”

His noisy sons and grandsons beside him did not bother Yun Poxing, who quickly calculated in his head. After a while, he looked up with a resolute gaze: “Yun Lingzhi and Yun Tianao stay behind with half of the troops to attack the city! I will take half to return and rescue the Empress!”

Yun Poxing looked at his son and grandson: “I felt something amiss when our people entered the city quickly and opened the gate. Bai Qingyan must be arrogant enough to think we, Xiliang, truly fear Zhou, obediently going north of the Danshui River to confront the Elephant Army, wanting to take this opportunity to capture the Empress and further control Xiliang! The city’s defense must be empty!”

“The city gate is open, I command you two, no matter what, to capture Bai Qingyan alive! This concerns the future of Xiliang!” Yun Poxing shouted.

“Rest assured, A Ye. If your son can’t capture Bai Qingyan alive, he’ll commit suicide to atone!” Yun Lingzhi’s eyes turned red, feeling that the shame of Xiliang could be washed away today.

“Go! Avenge your brother!” Yun Poxing hadn’t forgotten that his son’s head was cut off by the Bai family army. He urged his horse forward, clutching Yun Lingzhi’s shoulder, “But remember… respecting the opponent in battle is vital, don’t do anything disrespectful again! It may boost our morale, but it will also make them fight desperately! Understand?!”

Yun Lingzhi hid his resentment and anger, responding: “Understood, A Ye! Rest assured and go rescue the Empress! Leave this to me!”

After instructing his son and being deeply worried about Li Tianjiao’s situation, Yun Poxing turned his horse and led half the Huoyun Army toward Ansan for the rescue.

On the city wall, the figure completely hid in darkness, Bai Qingyan watched as the Huoyun Army split into two, with one part heading east toward Ansan and the other charging into the city, silently without making any roars, seemingly wanting to catch Zhou off guard.

Next to Bai Qingyan, Shen Liangyu closely gripped the sword at his waist, just right, once they entered, it would be closing the door to catch the dogs! Hopefully, everything would go smoothly on Cheng Yuanzhi’s side.
