Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1149

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1143: Onto the Battlefield

Bai Jinzhao got out of the carriage first, turned around, and extended her hand to Bai Qingyan: "Eldest Sister, let me help you down!"

Chun Zhi hastily draped a fox fur cloak over Bai Qingyan’s shoulders and handed her a hand warmer with freshly replaced coals, then raised the curtain for Bai Qingyan...

Bai Qingyan bent down to exit the carriage and saw Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingjue, Bai Qingmo, Bai Jinhua, and Bai Jinse gathering around, all calling her Eldest Sister. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Wei Zhaonian, wearing a black eyepatch, stepped forward to greet her: "Young General Bai!"

"General Wei!" Bai Qingyan responded with a smile.

Supported by Bai Jinzhao’s hand, Bai Qingyan dismounted from the carriage, then touched Bai Jinse’s head: "Our Little Seven has indeed grown taller! Look at how Little Five has tanned while Little Six hasn’t tanned much..."

"Little Six and Little Five are twins. Initially, the soldiers in the camp had some difficulty telling them apart. Now it’s clear... the darker one is Little Five, the paler one must be Little Six!" Bai Qingyun, seated crookedly in a wheelchair, joked with a smile.

"Ninth Brother!" Bai Jinzhao stomped her feet in mock indignation.

"Let’s not stand in this cold, snowy land, Eldest Sister... We should return to the main tent!" Bai Qingqi said with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Eldest Sister, was your journey smooth?" Bai Qingjue asked while pushing Bai Qingyun to walk beside their Eldest Sister, smiling.

"It went fairly well, though we stopped in several cities along the way to inquire about the current views of Xiliang’s citizens towards Tianfeng Kingdom and the Xiliang Imperial Court, which slowed us down a bit." Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on Bai Qingyun. "I heard that A Yun has improved the crossbow, turning it into a repeating crossbow..."

Bai Qingyun nodded with a smile: "Though I can’t join my brothers and sisters on the battlefield, I can at least contribute more to these matters. But alas, A Yun’s abilities are limited; I am not as enlightened as Third Brother, Seventh Brother, and Fifth Brother. I didn’t learn much at Sihai Pavilion. If Seventh Brother had gone with Gu Yijian to Sihai Pavilion, I imagine he could do much more for the Bai family army now!"

"It seems like A Yun is hinting for me to go to Sihai Pavilion to find a mentor and leave the battlefield to you," Bai Qingjue joked, reaching out to pat Bai Qingyun’s head, but Bai Qingyun nimbly dodged.

"Even though it’s inconvenient for me to move around sitting in this wheelchair, Sihai Pavilion wasn’t fruitless for me. Though I didn’t apprentice under Mr. Gu, he imparted skills to me that even Seventh Brother hasn’t learned—skills that Seventh Brother might covet but can’t execute against me!" Bai Qingyun said with a laugh.

Hearing her brothers laugh and joke like this, Bai Qingyan remembered the scenes when her grandfather and father were still around—those were truly lively times. Now... that lively spirit has returned.

Wei Zhaonian walked with hands behind his back, watching these young generals of the Bai family, feeling both comforted and reminded of times past when he joined expeditions with the Bai family generals. At that time... the Bai family generals also gathered around the Commander and Vice Commander, laughing and chatting.

This must be legacy.

The Commander, Vice Commander, along with Second Master, Third Master, Fourth Master, and Fifth Master are gone, but their children have grown up, capable of bearing the flag of the Bai family army.

As long as the Bai family’s legacy persists, the Bai family... and the Bai family army will never perish.
