Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1433

Chapter 1433: Chapter 1428: Explanation

Who can guarantee that these former sailors of Daliang will align themselves wholeheartedly with Zhou and willingly risk their lives for Zhou?

Even if these sailors are willing to risk their lives for Zhou, can they defeat the Dongyi navy?

The Second Prince once stayed up all night discussing strategy with Du Yulang and the Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom. Both the Second Prince and Du Yulang strongly agreed with Tianfeng’s strategy of "sustaining war through war, and sustaining the nation through war."

If they can defeat Zhou’s navy this time and then set foot on Zhou’s territory, Dongyi will surely become stronger than ever! Not to mention... the Yan Kingdom has already agreed that if Dongyi and Zhou engage in battle, they are willing to provide weapons and food.

Seeing the envoy’s ship of Zhou protected by Zhou’s navy, Du Yulang raised his hand to signal the entire fleet to slow down.

The King of Hancheng also ordered the entire fleet to slow down.

Soon, the naval forces of Dongyi and Zhou faced off on the sea.

The rising sun in the east slowly ascended through the gap between the two confronting forces, painting the sea and the huge ships with a golden hue.

The King of Hancheng, Cheng Yuanzhi, and Du Yulang all stood at the forefront of the largest warship.

Du Yulang said to the deputy general beside him: "Send a message, tell Zhou to hand over the Seventh Prince. Our Dongyi navy is not here for war, but to retrieve our Seventh Prince. If Zhou does not release our Seventh Prince... then we will see who’s truly stronger!"

Soon, a messenger rowed a small boat to the Zhou side to deliver the message.

Upon hearing this, the King of Hancheng, though unsure of what was happening, believed that Minister Liu was no fool. If the Seventh Prince was really brought back to Zhou, there must be a reason for it.

"Nonsense! Just because Dongyi lost their prince doesn’t mean our Zhou envoy took him back! No one ransoms like this! I could just as easily claim my wife was stolen by Dongyi and demand they return her!" Cheng Yuanzhi, feeling unwell, didn’t speak as loudly as usual.

The King of Hancheng thought for a moment and instructed, "Tell Dongyi to wait. I will send someone to ask our Zhou envoy!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a small boat from Zhou’s navy caught up with the envoy’s ship, inquiring about the issue of Dongyi’s Seventh Prince.

Fan Yugan was bewildered: "What Seventh Prince?"

"This is just an excuse for Dongyi to capture us!" an envoy angrily said. "Dongyi is truly bold, a small nation daring to provoke us, Zhou!"

Nevertheless, Lu Fenglang lowered his eyes as if lost in thought. After a moment, a light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly looked up, his face pale: "We may have been used by the Empress of Dongyi!"

"What?" Fan Yugan couldn’t comprehend Lu Fenglang’s words.

In a very short time, Lu Fenglang had replayed the entire affair of the Second Prince’s power seizure in his mind.

She already guessed that the Empress had made dual preparations. She wanted to elevate her own flesh and blood to power, but at the same time feared the Crown Prince or the Second Prince might notice. Thus, after considering Lu Fenglang’s advice, the Empress made dual plans.

On one hand, she was preparing for her son’s ascension, on the other, she sent the Seventh Prince out of Dongyi to avoid threats from other ascendants to the prince’s life!

If successful, she would bring her son back to inherit the throne!
