Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1151

Capítulo 1151: Chapter 1145: Inspection

Bai Qingqi did not issue an order to forbid harming the civilians…

The people of Xiliang are fierce and the civilians can also serve as soldiers. Conquering Xiliang cities is different from conquering their own cities after all… To the eyes of Xiliang people, people of Zhou are foreigners.

Therefore, they would inevitably resist with all their might. Once the people of Xiliang take up arms, it’s no different from resisting Zhou. If there were orders forbidding harming Xiliang civilians, and these Xiliang civilians brandished their blades against Zhou’s soldiers, wouldn’t it mean Zhou would suffer a needless loss of soldiers’ lives?

However, as long as the civilians of Xiliang give up resistance, the people of Zhou are willing to accept them. After all, the Bai family’s aspiration for generations has been to unify the world, not to eradicate all foreign tribes, leaving only the people of Zhou.

Wei Zhaonian along with Bai Qingjue, Bai Jinzhao, Bai Jinhua, and Bai Jinse led troops into the city, sweeping away the remaining Xiliang defeated soldiers, allowing the soldiers to clear out the officials’ residences for Bai Qingyan to reside in.

As dawn broke, the carriage carrying Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingyun slowly entered the city, with soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate, respectfully welcoming the Emperor of Zhou into the city.

Lu Ninghuan took Lu Liaochen into Bai Qingyan’s carriage, only to see her silly disciple staring intently at the Eldest Young Lady, even enthusiastically taking over the personal maid Chun Zhi’s duties, serving tea to the Eldest Young Lady, making Chun Zhi bemused, much like when she declared her love for the third young master of the Bai family, wanting to marry him, incessantly asking the Eldest Young Lady how the battle at Qingxi Mountain Pass was fought, making it nearly unbearable to watch.

Bai Qingyan, however, was gentle towards Lu Liaochen, not at all reproachful, yet Lu Ninghuan felt deeply uneasy, feeling that the Eldest Young Lady had not had a proper rest since arriving, and yet this girl was so noisy.

“That tune was so profoundly moving, when my master and I passed through the border city, almost all the civilians of the border city could sing it… Within the boat at Ying Lake were honored guests, only the sound of the pipa could be heard, not the person. The mingling of silk and bamboo with fine wine, suddenly turned into the thunderous music. The strings powerfully clashed like the crashing of the Five Peaks, the light strings flowing broke the river’s flow. The fingertips sparked like thunder gathering clouds, with ears hearing the clashing sound of golden spears. When the song ended, hot blood surged skyward, the General has broken through Qingxi Mountain!”

After singing, Lu Liaochen clenched her fist: “Your Majesty, I also want to be like Your Majesty, to become a General on the battlefield! To become a female General! Does Your Majesty think that if I start learning martial arts now, is there still hope?”

Bai Qingyan adjusted the blanket on Bai Qingyun’s lap, with a gentle expression and a faint smile, but her words stunned Lu Liaochen: “So, you pretended to have amnesia to lie to Aunt Lu just to stay in the army to become a female General?”

Bai Qingyun lowered her eyes, poured a cup of hot tea for their eldest young lady, seemingly understanding the matter well and found nothing strange about it.

Lu Liaochen was startled, her wide blinking eyes flickering, while Lu Ninghuan furrowed her brows tightly and became wary, thinking that if this girl had feigned amnesia to stay in the army, it mustn’t be due to her momentary kindness bringing trouble to the Bai family army.

Seeing Lu Ninghuan’s state, Bai Qingyan gestured with her hand to Lu Ninghuan, indicating there was no need to hurry.

Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup Bai Qingyun placed before her, using the lid to press down the floating tea leaves, and took a sip: “No rush, I have no intention of forcing you. If you have difficulties, you can take your time. If you are willing to speak when you’re ready, that’s also acceptable.”
