Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140 -1134: Trust

“Today is the first day of the lunar new year, let the soldiers rest for a day. The Xiliang army is surely tense and preparing for battle. When they don’t see our Zhou army today, they might even think that we will wait until after the Lantern Festival to make a move…” Bai Qingyan held a porcelain spoon, stirring the steaming hot porridge in the bowl, “Tomorrow morning, we will split into two groups. You, Jinzhi, will follow General Shen Kunyang across the Danshui River, attack Quanya City unexpectedly, and make sure to capture Yunjing before the Yan Kingdom does!”

Bai Jinzhi did not forget that though the Zhou and Yan Kingdoms were allies, there was also competition between them. She nodded repeatedly, “Rest assured, Eldest Young Lady, I will definitely capture Yunjing before the Yan Kingdom!”

She nodded as she looked at her younger sister and couldn’t help but softly remind her, “Mr. Cai is not by your side, so don’t be reckless in anything you do. Listen to Uncle Shen and don’t act childishly. Also, don’t rely on your martial skills to be overly bold! What happened at the Qingxi Mountain Pass, when you circumvented the enemy from the cliffs in the rain, must not happen again! If anything happens to you, I won’t be able to face Aunt Third!”

“But then it was General Liu Hong who asked me to go! And now I’m an adult…” Bai Jinzhi saw her elder sister’s solemn expression and quickly smiled, patting her chest and promising, “Alright, alright! Don’t worry, I’ll behave! If Uncle Shen says go east, I will not go west!”

“And don’t go north or south either!” Bai Qingyu added sternly.

“Fifth Brother!” Bai Jinzhi pretended to be angry.

“Fifth Brother knows you are brave, but our Bai family lost too many relatives in the Southern Front and cannot afford to lose another!”

Bai Jinzhi looked at Bai Qingyu, knowing that Fifth Brother may have witnessed their family’s deaths on the southern battlefield. That’s why he was so strict with her; he just didn’t want her to have any accidents.

“Alright, alright…” Bai Qingyan picked up a piece of steamed cake for Bai Jinzhi, “One year has passed, and Jinzhi is a year older. Surely, she will not be as reckless as before. Eldest Young Lady believes in you!”

“Fifth Brother, don’t worry. After taking Yunjing, I will surely welcome Fifth Brother in Yunjing safely! Although I can’t promise not a scratch, I definitely won’t allow myself to be seriously injured!” Bai Jinzhi said.

Bai Qingyu nodded, reaching out to pat Bai Jinzhi’s head, “Eat now!”

“Li Tianfu asked you and Uncle Shen to go…” Bai Qingyan took a small sip of porridge, then turned to Bai Jinzhi and said, “Li Tianjiao has fled. I fear she will cause trouble back in Yunjing. If she truly has such capabilities, carry Li Tianfu, who is now on the throne in Xiliang, with you. Use it as a pretext to assist the Emperor of Xiliang, Li Tianfu, in punishing the rebellious impostor, Li Tianjiao, and fight your way forward!”

“I understand. The more justified our Zhou army’s presence is, the more easily the people of Xiliang will accept us! As long as the people don’t resist, the easier the battle will be.” Bai Jinzhi nodded in agreement, hugging her porridge bowl.

Bai Qingyan nodded, “Exactly.”

Bai Jinzhi’s quick progress was greatly reassuring to Bai Qingyan.

“Such an incomplete statement, what do you mean by knowing your place?” Bai Qingyan placed the teacup aside and said softly, “Tell me truthfully what happened.” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
