Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1135

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1129: I Can Handle It

Seeing Ren Shijie had already mounted his horse, Bai Jinzhi turned his horse around, leading Ren Shijie to gallop swiftly towards the main forces of the Yan Kingdom.

Even though Ren Shijie’s body was weak and his vision blurred, the thought of openly returning to the Yan Kingdom filled him with an uncontrollable excitement. He tightly gripped the reins, riding hard behind Bai Jinzhi, fearing he might be left behind.

Xie Xun and Murong Yan were returning to Mengcheng with their army, but their speed couldn’t match Bai Jinzhi’s swift horse, and she quickly caught up with them.

When Murong Yan heard that it was Bai Jinzhi who had returned Ren Shijie, he immediately put on his mask and turned his horse around to personally greet them.

Upon seeing Murong Yan, Bai Jinzhi clasped his hands together apologetically, "I’m sorry, the Eldest Young Lady commanded me to bring him back, but I can’t focus on anything once there’s a battle, causing such a delay. I beg the Ninth Prince’s forgiveness."

"Lord of Gaoyi, you are too kind. It’s good that Mr. Ren can return! Thank you for your efforts, Lord of Gaoyi!" Murong Yan also clasped his hands towards Bai Jinzhi.

Lu Yuanpeng, looking at the Ninth Prince of Yan, felt a strange sense of familiarity, though he couldn’t pinpoint why. As he and Bai Jinzhi turned to return after handing over Ren Shijie, he remarked, "Why do I feel the Ninth Prince of Yan looks particularly familiar?"

"Wasn’t Murong Li close with you before? It’s normal for a nephew to resemble his uncle..."

After saying this, Bai Jinzhi urged Lu Yuanpeng, "Let’s hurry back. Today is New Year’s Eve, and our fifth brother said we’ll have dumplings tonight. It’s our Bai family military tradition... If we spend New Year outside, the Commander will celebrate New Year’s Eve with the soldiers!"

"Yes, yes! I hear there are elephant meat dumplings! I’ve never tried elephant meat before, wait for me!" Lu Yuanpeng rushed his horse to catch up with Bai Jinzhi.

As night fell, the snow began to fall more heavily.

The traces of the battle in Pingdu City from the previous night had been cleaned up, and the city was brightly lit. The remaining undamaged double-eaved houses in Pingdu City glowed with lanterns, casting circles and circles of red light amidst the vast snow.

The soldiers were still bustling under the red lights, busy clearing the houses destroyed by the giant elephants last night.

"Almost done here! Once this is cleared, we can go back and have dumplings!"

"I’ve heard that Young General Bai is in the infirmary wrapping dumplings and has even tucked coins into them! I must eat the dumplings wrapped by our Young General Bai; that will bring good fortune for the year!"

The soldiers, chatting and laughing, quickened their pace.

The lightly injured soldiers in the infirmary gathered together, and once the Huotou Army delivered the prepared dumpling filling, they started making dumplings by hand.

Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyu, Bai Jinzhi, Shen Qingzhu, Xiao Ruohai, Shen Kunyang, Yang Wuce, Cheng Yuanzhi, Shen Liangyu, along with Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping, were all in the infirmary, making dumplings with the soldiers for the New Year.

The soldiers of the Bai family army had long known that Bai Qingyan would come, as it was the Bai family army’s tradition to spend New Year’s Eve together when stationed outside.

Ever since Commander Bai Weiting, Vice Commander Bai Qishan, and the generals of the Bai family left, their Young General Bai had taken up the flag of the Bai family army, becoming their commander!
