Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421: Chapter 1416: Ascension

"Enough... Leave the matter of lifelong plans to the aunts, I won’t dwell on it here." Bai Qingyan placed the teacup in her hand down, "You just need to keep it in mind!"

She turned to more pressing matters: "The Dongyi Kingdom may be small and might not dare to confront our Zhou, but you’ve seen the secret reports. The Monarch of Tianfeng... is working openly and covertly with the envoys from Yan Kingdom in Dongyi, seemingly intending to support the second prince of Dongyi. If this second prince is truly the madman described in the reports..."

Bai Qingyan hesitated, but the others understood what their Eldest Young Lady meant.

"Although Yan Kingdom hasn’t directly interacted with Tianfeng Kingdom, and even during the Xiliang battle the two were considered enemies, there’s no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. Now that Tianfeng and Yan Kingdom share the same goal, which is to trouble our Zhou, they naturally cooperate seamlessly," Bai Qingjue said in a low voice.

"So, we must not let Yan Kingdom and Tianfeng Kingdom succeed!" Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes halfway, "It depends on whether Minister Liu can succeed, otherwise... letting Yan Kingdom and Tianfeng support this second prince to ascend might really incite Dongyi to recklessly engage in a war with us Zhou. Even if it does come to that, we Zhou are not afraid, but it’s best to prepare early."

"Yes!"

King of Hancheng stood on the rocky shore, watching the foaming white surf and the fishermen guarded by the army heading out to sea, his expression grave.

Now that Zhou’s famed orator Liu Rushi had arrived in Dongyi Kingdom, and the Zhou army along with the Bai family army were in place, it would soon be clear whether there would be war or peace.

King of Hancheng knew that the Bai family army was considered Bai Qingyan’s, so unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t dare to move Bai family army rashly, and also the Bai family army was not skilled in naval battles. King of Hancheng had already planned that the land defense would be handled by the Zhou army and Bai family army, while the navy would handle the matters at sea!

King of Hancheng lowered his eyes, touched the gold medal in his arms, and couldn’t help but have reddened eyes... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He didn’t know what he felt in his heart, but the trust he yearned for from his father had never been granted, yet he received it from the Emperor of the defeated nation.

Entrusting the gold medal to him without a worry of betrayal!

Thus, he must live up to the trust the Emperor has placed in him.

Before truly interacting with Bai Qingyan, King of Hancheng really thought that the Bai family... or Bai Qingyan, merely shouted unification for the sake of the common people’s eternal peace as an excuse to take other nations by force!

Now, King of Hancheng believed that Bai Qingyan was different from the average person; her thinking and mindset truly were distinct.

King of Hancheng looked up at the blazing sun overhead, the corners of his lips curved up. Now that he understood Bai Qingyan, he realized that people are indeed different from one another.

Some people come to this world for the sake of past and present romantic ties, risking life and death for love, just like his silly Princess.

Some come to this world to endure hardships and gain experience, like the soldiers under his command...

After all, now Zhou, Yan Kingdom, and Tianfeng Kingdom all wish to win over Dongyi Kingdom.

Dongyi Kingdom’s court officials thought the same as King of Hancheng, so they acted arrogant in front of Liu Rushi, still resenting the past when their Dongyi Kingdom was rejected in seeking marriage with Zhou. Now that Zhou had come to Dongyi’s territory, they naturally wanted to give Zhou a hard time.

But what the Dongyi Kingdom officials didn’t know was that the Zhou envoy Liu Rushi was a tough character, accompanied by a rascally youth and an exceptionally attractive young lady.

The Dongyi officials knew that the current ruler of Zhou was an Empress and that new policies were enacted allowing women to study, take exams, and even take official positions, so they made remarks about Lu Fenglang’s public appearances as a woman.

In response, Fan Yugan, who had learned a smattering of Dongyi language from following Liu Rushi, didn’t hold back and asked directly in Dongyi, "Surely you weren’t born of a woman? Or are the mothers in your family all male? Or would your mothers be scolded home by unfilial descendants like you whenever they stepped outside?"

And as if that wasn’t enough, he smiled and told Lu Fenglang that Dongyi was a great place and that the prevalence of dragon yang customs appealed to him immensely, infuriating the Dongyi officials to the brink of an apoplexy, especially since Fan Yugan immediately apologized, saying he had been learning Dongyi for less than a month and asked for their understanding in case of any incorrect terminology.

The envoys from Tianfeng Kingdom had previously been tricked by Fan Yugan, so they knew clear as day that Fan Yugan intended to stir up trouble.

At night, in the posthouse, Fan Yugan and Lu Fenglang sat with Liu Rushi before a desk, all three wore serious expressions.

"Now Yan Kingdom is secretly active in Dongyi Kingdom, eager for Dongyi to conflict with our Zhou. Tianfeng Kingdom is blatantly making trouble, and the benefits we’ve brought to Dongyi Kingdom might end up funding their military!" Fan Yugan frowned tightly.
