Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1416

Chapter 1416: Chapter 1411: Mediation

"Don’t be concerned about how it looks lying inside a carriage. It’s what your elder sister instructed. When we reach the coast, there might be a tough battle, so it’s best to recover soon instead of insisting on riding horses. Apply the medicine well!" Bai Qingyu added.

Cheng Yuanzhi’s eyes turned red, and he nodded vigorously, "Please, Vice Commander, convey to Young General Bai that if a battle truly breaks out, I, Old Cheng, will make sure to slay more enemies to atone for our mistakes to Young General Bai!"

With his hands behind his back, Bai Qingyu nodded, "Alright..."

There was no more time to delay. Cheng Yuanzhi and Shen Liangyu were helped onto the carriage.

Sima Ping also looked at Bai Jinzhi perched on horseback, "King Gaoyi, it’s time for you to return. The army is about to depart! During the days Yuanpeng and I are away, no one will be there to keep you company. You must conduct yourself like a ruler, and don’t trouble those playboys in Dadu City, lest the Emperor punishes you again."

"I know! I know!" Bai Jinzhi scratched his head with the whip, "You make it sound like I often cause trouble! Don’t forget to apply your medicine!"

After speaking, Bai Jinzhi urged his horse forward and bid farewell to Lu Fenglang.

Sima Ping watched Bai Jinzhi, who was bent down speaking to Lu Fenglang inside the carriage, and smiled as he spoke to Lu Yuanpeng leaning against his side, "I didn’t expect someone like your sister Fenglang could get along with the fourth young one of the Bai family."

"My sister just has good manners and treats everyone politely!" Although Lu Yuanpeng didn’t admit it verbally, he couldn’t help but grin slightly.

Sitting inside the carriage, Liu Rushi listened to the sounds of farewell outside, feeling the weight of his mission to the Dongyi Kingdom this time.

Last night, Bai Qingyan visited Liu Mansion incognito for a candlelit conversation with Liu Rushi, secretly assigning a task that only Liu Rushi from the entire envoy group knew about.

He closed his eyes, recalling Bai Qingyan’s clear yet solemn demeanor under the flickering candlelight last night. She leaned slightly closer to him, her eyes reflected in the wavering flames, deep and serene. With a voice carrying the harshness of winter, she explained the espionage mission in the Dongyi Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom’s Young Emperor’s plan to send envoys there.

"Now, as the Emperor of Yan desires to make Dongyi Kingdom their weapon in the gamble between our two countries, stabbing us in the back of the Zhou Dynasty, Tianfeng Kingdom can no longer hold back, seeking to engage with our Zhou Dynasty by entangling Dongyi Kingdom with us to break through our Zhou’s blockade!"

Liu Rushi, although a court official, understood Bai Qingyan’s reasoning clearly!

For the Yan Kingdom, the outcome of this gamble between two nations determines the ruler of the world, while the loser becomes a homeless dog. Ostensibly, they intend to honor alliances and gamble openly, but it doesn’t prevent them from striking covertly.

To the Tianfeng Kingdom and Dongyi Kingdom, being weak countries, the ancient practice dictates that weak nations unite against the strong. The clandestine schemes of Yan, Dongyi, and Tianfeng against Zhou are only to be expected.

"The Monarch of Dongyi Kingdom is already old and ailing, bedridden due to the grief over the Crown Prince’s death, with a decision on succession imminent. The second prince is secretly a vicious and reckless person, oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth. Yan and Tianfeng Kingdoms now have a unified aim to promote this second prince to the throne, entangling Dongyi Kingdom with our Zhou!" Bai Qingyan’s gaze was stern, "Our Zhou isn’t afraid of small countries like Dongyi, but given the priority of the national gamble, avoiding war is preferable."
