Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1134

Chapter 1134 -1128: A Girlish Heart

Lu Yuanpeng glanced at Shen Qingzhu following behind Bai Jinzhi, and his eyes immediately lit up…

Everyone said Shen Qingzhu was a cold-faced female Rakshasa, but he knew this Miss Shen was a guard who had been with the Bai family’s eldest young lady since childhood, skilled in martial arts, and a member of the Bai family’s female guard unit.

He had seen Shen Qingzhu kill enemies on the battlefield a few times, clean and swift. He originally wanted to ask her for guidance, but he had no opportunity since this Miss Shen was constantly by the Bai family’s eldest young lady’s side.

Bai Jinzhi suddenly inviting him was practically like offering a pillow to a sleepy person!

Without another word, Lu Yuanpeng leapt onto the horse: “Let’s go!”

After the army captured Pingdu City, Ren Shijie was put into a prison cart, and before they even entered the city, Bai Jinzhi still needed to pick him up outside the city.

At this moment, Ren Shijie was sitting in the swaying prison cart, leaning against the wooden bars, reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes, pondering whether enough snow would gather for him to eat since he was unbearably hungry.

Bai Jinzhi not only forgot to return Ren Shijie to the Yan Kingdom but also forgot to send him meals.

The main reason was that the soldiers guarding Ren Shijie received orders from above, saying that Lord of Gaoyi would take Ren Shijie during the Four-Nation Alliance on the fifteenth of the lunar month, so after the fifteenth there was no more food delivered to Ren Shijie.

Later, when the soldiers guarding him saw that Lord of Gaoyi was not coming to retrieve him, they assumed it was a deliberate show of power by him, so they didn’t dare to secretly give Ren Shijie their own meals.

But they couldn’t really let Ren Shijie die, so when he asked for water, they would sometimes secretly give him a little dry food, keeping him barely alive until now.

In just over ten days, already emaciated, Ren Shijie had been living on a piece of dry food each day these past few days. Even with iron-like willpower, his body couldn’t withstand it, and he was so weak he could barely stand, overwhelmed by hunger.

Since hearing he was being sent back to Yan, Ren Shijie’s mindset had changed. After being away from home for so many years, he never thought he would live to return to his motherland one day.

When a person is in despair, the last thing they need is hope. Having the hope of returning, but it not coming to fruition, made him more desperate than being locked in a silent prison.

Suddenly, the swaying prison cart stopped. Covered with snow on his body and eyelashes, Ren Shijie looked up to see several soldiers on high horseback blocking the cart. Soon, the two soldiers responsible for guarding him hurried over, found the key from their bodies, opened the cart, and said, “Ren Shijie, Lord of Gaoyi wants to send you back to Yan Kingdom!”

Hearing these words, Ren Shijie held onto the wooden bars of the prison cart, trying to stand but fell back due to hunger causing dizziness.

“Quickly send him off, then we brothers can finally relax!” One of the guarding soldiers said to his companion.

Ren Shijie, shackled, was helped out of the prison cart.
