Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1451

Chapter 1451: Chapter 1446: Destroy Dongyi

"I implore Your Majesty to bring back the King of Hancheng! We, the common people, have been under the protection of the King of Hancheng and cannot let a hero’s remains be desecrated by the Dongyi Kingdom!"

The citizens cried and bowed to Bai Qingyan, truly unwilling to let the remains of the King of Hancheng be sullied by Dongyi.

The people are simple and honest; they remember anyone who risks their life to protect them!

Just like the Bai family’s army in the past: grandfather, father, uncles, and her brothers!

Xie Yuchang watched the citizens kneeling and pleading for Bai Qingyan to rescue the King of Hancheng, their emotions surging with tears flooding his eyes and a lump in his throat.

He knew that initially, the ministers in the court did not wish for a war to break out between Zhou and Dongyi during the national gamble!

He also understood that if Bai Qingyan hadn’t insisted on leading the expedition personally, she might have been trapped in the Imperial Palace by the ministers’ deathbed remonstrations.

Now, having come with Bai Qingyan, he realized... how much encouragement her presence brought to the coastal people, and understood that only with Bai Qingyan, the Emperor of Zhou, personally visiting, could the coastal people feel that Bai Qingyan never treated them differently from the inland citizens.

Whenever the coastal people are in trouble, their Emperor... will certainly appear here, heroically protecting the safety of her citizens behind her.

This is their Emperor of Zhou!

If the people saw even the Emperor of Zhou behave like this, not to mention those naval soldiers!

"Everyone, rise! Rise!" Bai Qingyan looked at the kneeling, sobbing citizens and loudly declared, "Today, I, Bai Qingyan, stand here to bring back the remains of our Zhou hero, the King of Hancheng! To rally forces to annihilate the insignificant Dongyi, who dares to invade our Zhou and bully our citizens!"

"The petty Dongyi dared to disturb our fishermen and violate our great Zhou during our national gamble with the Yan Kingdom! They thought that Zhou would bow and scrape to win the national gamble agreement first! But they were wrong! The national gamble will never be a reason for Zhou to cower and not fight!" Bai Qingyan took a step down from the steps, her voice growing louder, ringing with determination, each word she spoke was like a blade cutting the ground, "The national gamble is to let the people no longer suffer the pains of war, to unify the world so that all people live in harmony like a family, so that the world will no longer have wars! The people will no longer endure the miseries of war, nor be bullied by other countries, allowing all people to live with dignity! It’s not for us to endure humiliation, nor for our citizens to compromise with grievance, nor for heroes to die with resentment!"

"In the battle of southern Xinjiang, Xiliang sought peace; I vowed that if any other country dared to kill even one of our citizens again, our elite soldiers of Zhou would kill a hundred of theirs! A thousand! Ten thousand! Until the enemy state that slaughtered our citizens is wiped out! Until the enemy state doesn’t dare to invade our Zhou within ten years! Until the enemy state trembles in fear upon hearing our Zhou’s name! And then... Xiliang joined forces with the Tianfeng Kingdom to offend our Zhou again, our Zhou deployed... and destroyed the nation!" Bai Qingyan’s aura was awe-inspiring, her dark eyes full of sharpness, "Whether it’s the King of Hancheng... or the naval soldiers! They are indeed the elite soldiers who defend the nation, but more importantly, they are citizens of our Zhou! Dongyi dared to kill our elite soldiers of Zhou, then our Zhou... must destroy their country, without a second thought!"

Every word from Bai Qingyan was like a scalding nail driven into the hearts of the coastal people, stirring their blood, filling their eyes with hot tears.

"Bravo!" The scholar who had previously stopped the citizens from storming the Government Office burst into tears and couldn’t help but cheer, shouting hoarsely until his voice cracked, "Your Majesty, this commoner is willing to enlist and follow Your Majesty to destroy the Dongyi dogs!"

"This commoner is also willing to follow Your Majesty!"

"This commoner was a naval soldier and is now willing to return to the navy and pledge to follow Your Majesty to the death!"
