Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1427

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1422: Arrangements

If it weren’t discovered in time, a daughter would carry the crime of patricide, and her life would be finished.

Bai Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "Is there someone named Puliu who might have stirred this up?"

If Bai Qingyan remembers correctly, this person named Puliu... is also a smart person, but one fears that after becoming pregnant, her intelligence might be used in the wrong direction.

"Bai Qingping is still investigating. Currently, Puliu is pregnant, so Bai Qingping only ordered her to be confined in the courtyard," Wei Zhong said.

Bai Qingyan nodded, hoping that this Puliu is clean.

"Your Highness!" A subordinate of King Hancheng hurried into the upper room where King Hancheng resided. Through a screen, he saw King Hancheng donning armor, and after saluting, he said, "I heard, Your Highness, that you plan to go out to sea with the naval forces today. I ask Your Highness to reconsider!"

Now the Dongyi naval forces have repeatedly provoked disturbances. The Emperor of Zhou ordered their naval forces to protect fishermen going out to sea, but each time they set off with the mentality that they might not return, several times nearly escalating into battles. The two armies stood on their own ships yelling insults, just shy of shooting arrows at each other.

Moreover, the naval forces actually hope for a fight to break out. If it does, they can show the so-called invincible Bai family army and the Zhou army just how formidable their naval forces are!

At this critical juncture when a battle could break out at any moment, King Hancheng plans to go out to sea with the naval forces. No matter what, these former Daliang subordinates of his are uneasy.

King Hancheng finished fastening his wrist guards and stepped out from behind the screen, lowering his eyes to arrange the wrist guards while saying, "Going out to sea will only take three or four days... at most five or six days. In this opportunity, I will see just how strong the Dongyi Kingdom is. Currently, Minister Liu is still in the Dongyi Kingdom, and it’s a crucial moment for them in the battle for succession. The Dongyi Kingdom might not dare truly engage us in Zhou. Rest assured!"

The old subordinates of King Hancheng, seeing his casual manner, gritted their teeth and asked, "Your Highness, is it because... General Cheng Yuanzhi from the Bai family army is incapable of speaking kindly, that is why Your Highness..."

King Hancheng didn’t wait for the subordinate to finish and raised a stern gaze towards him, "Are you trying to sow discord between the two armies with those words?"

"I dare not!" The old subordinate quickly knelt down to apologize.

General Cheng Yuanzhi of the Bai family army is hot-tempered. He heard about the Dongyi Kingdom’s repeated provocations and was so angry that he loudly demanded a fight. But King Hancheng kept holding back. Cheng Yuanzhi despises King Hancheng and, with no outlet for his anger, called King Hancheng a coward.

This was something King Hancheng’s old subordinates couldn’t tolerate, suspecting Cheng Yuanzhi was sarcastically condemning King Hancheng’s action when he surrendered to Zhou’s Gaoyi King, nearly causing a fight.

In the end, King Hancheng suppressed both sides, asking if they hadn’t even fought the Dongyi Kingdom yet, and already wished to engage in a battle among themselves.

This matter had passed only a few days ago, and now that King Hancheng would go out to sea, his old subordinates naturally thought that King Hancheng had no choice but to be bullied by the Bai family army and the several commanders from the Zhou army.

"Let me tell you, nowadays... we in the naval forces receive Zhou’s provisions, thus we are Zhou’s naval forces. Whether it’s the Bai family army... or us in the naval forces, we are all one family of the same nation! It’s no matter if the brothers behind closed doors argue a couple of times. If we truly fight the Dongyi Kingdom... although the Bai family army is not adept at naval warfare, they are surely a strong support for our naval forces. At least, as we fight at the front, we need not worry that the civilians behind us go unprotected!"
