Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1180

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1174: Feeling Sorry for You

Bai Qingyan smiled with her eyebrows and eyes: "In the future, how Zhou and the Yan Kingdom fight this war, you can discuss it with A Qi, Jinxiu, A Yu, and Ah Jue."

"Hmm?" Xiao Rongyan quietly looked at his beloved.

She gently supported her abdomen and said, "I won’t be involved in the upcoming battles... I’ll return to Dadu City and wait for the birth of our child."

Xiao Rongyan loved the gentle radiance in Bai Qingyan’s eyes when she spoke of "our child." He raised his hand to gently trace Bai Qingyan’s eyebrows and eyes, chuckling softly as he spoke to her, "In the future, when the world is settled and the new policies are securely in place, how about you and I... live and work peacefully as merchants in Baiwo City, raising our child?"

During this period, Xiao Rongyan had killed more than he ever had before. Countless people died by his hand in the glare of knives and swords, the ocean of blood and mountains of corpses, whether they were Xiliang soldiers, Tianfeng Kingdom’s soldiers, or the starving Xiliang civilians who dared to snatch military grain from the Yan Army. None of this would cause even the slightest ripple in Xiao Rongyan’s heart. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He killed those soldiers; he killed the Xiliang civilians who dared to steal military grain, doing so with a clear conscience because he was paving the way for peace, and no one... could stop him from pacifying Xiliang.

But after this, Xiao Rongyan would always think of Bai Qingyan.

If it were Bai Qingyan, she would never wield weapons against the unarmed Xiliang populace...

Because Bai Qingyan’s heart held room not only for the people of Zhou but also for the people of the entire world, without discriminating based on country or race.

She could implement new policies for the people of Zhou, and she would also strive to implement those policies in the Xiliang cities conquered by Zhou, allowing the Xiliang people to live as well-off as the people of Zhou.

He always recalled the look of empathy in Bai Qingyan’s eyes when they sat opposite each other outside the Zheliu Pavilion in Dadu City, remembered Bai Qingyan’s words of being a hero aiding the weak and upholding justice.

From the difficult beginnings of the Bai family to the present, Bai Qingyan seemed never to have forgotten her original intentions...

If Bai Qingyan were not around, he might not feel that there was anything amiss with his actions. But with Bai Qingyan’s way of treating people and handling matters there, Xiao Rongyan, looking at Bai Qingyan, felt he could see the purest General in the world.

Although the Zhou army also engaged in killing, they did not stain their hands with the blood of innocent civilians.

If he had never met Bai Qingyan, if he had never put this person in his heart, perhaps he wouldn’t feel there was anything wrong with his actions. But because he understood... because he loved deeply, he would think from Bai Qingyan’s perspective.

Subsequently, he ordered the Yan Army to cease the slaughter and distributed giant elephant meat to the starving Xiliang populace, prioritizing children, women, and elders, then arranged for able-bodied Xiliang to exchange labor for giant elephant meat. Perhaps due to the previous slaughter of a large number of starving Xiliang who tried to steal military grain, these Xiliang people became more compliant, eagerly willing to work for giant elephant meat...

Having arranged these matters, he hurried to Bai Qingyan’s side, as if only beside her could he find peace.
