Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1466

Chapter 1466: Chapter 1461: Grand and Imposing Momentum

Looking at the appearance of her youngest sister, Bai Qingyan raised her hand and rubbed Bai Jinse’s head: "I understand what you mean. Did Bai Yusheng leave any traces on his way here?"

"Yingshuang and I were watching him, especially Yingshuang. He knows Yingshuang is a silly girl, so he didn’t suspect anything when she kept a close eye on him. He didn’t leave any traces along the way. Perhaps... Yusheng also wants to live peacefully for the rest of his life, without any more involvement with the former Wei Kingdom."

Although Bai Jinse said so, Bai Qingyan held a different view. Even though Bai Yusheng was still young, his eyes were quite resilient. It seemed he harbored a strong desire to restore his country, though it was all hidden deep within his heart.

"Following the way over, I imagine Doctor Hong has already instructed you. Go and rest..." Bai Qingyan softly said to Bai Jinse, "I will look after Bai Yusheng’s matters and try to protect him... so he can live peacefully for the rest of his life."

Just as her youngest sister had hoped.

"Thank you, Eldest Sister!" Bai Jinse’s face was full of joy.

"Go and rest!" Bai Qingyan said.

On September 29th, the first batch of warships that Bai Qingyan had talked about with the naval generals arrived at Jinguan’s harbor.

The naval soldiers were amazed at the sight of the newly arrived giant warships. This also showed the Emperor of Zhou’s determination to annihilate Dongyi.

The naval soldiers felt invigorated. Their emperor was more decisive than they had imagined. The Emperor said he wanted to destroy Dongyi, and not long after they arrived, the warships had come, indicating that the Emperor had long been preparing for this.

Bai Qingyan, accompanied by several naval generals, inspected the warships one by one. These warships... were originally prepared for future engagements against Tianfeng Kingdom, intending to take the sea route, enter a river once traversed by Bai Jintong, and carry soldiers into Tianfeng Kingdom’s territory, attacking from two sides. Thus, they were constructed to be quite large.

Unexpectedly, the ships prepared for Tianfeng Kingdom were first used for the annihilation of Dongyi.

"Now that the new warships and the refitted old ones are in place," Bai Qingyan turned to Jianghuai, standing on the deck, saying, "I wonder how many of the old naval soldiers have returned?"

"In response to Your Majesty, almost all who could return have returned. Those too far to make it this time are still on their way. Additionally, there are some impassioned youth inspired by Your Majesty’s call, who have come forward seeking to join the navy. I have already ordered proper arrangements for them, letting them train well in the new recruits’ camp, so that in the future, they can also contribute to the country." Jiang Huaisheng glanced at the soldiers gathered in the distance watching the giant ship, saying to Bai Qingyan, "Now the whole Zhou is united in wanting to eliminate Dongyi, all thanks to Your Majesty’s efforts."

Bai Qingyan gazed at the sparkling sea, but said, "This is not my achievement, but one achieved by the sacrifice of the King of Hancheng."

The price, in Bai Qingyan’s view, was somewhat too high.

Jiang Huaisheng, seeing Bai Qingyan’s expression, pursed his lips and said nothing more. He could see... Bai Qingyan was truly saddened by the King of Hancheng’s death. Before Liu Shucheng left, he had told Jiang Huaisheng about the King of Hancheng’s loyalty to the Emperor of Zhou.

Perhaps before, he felt a bit unworthy on behalf of the King of Hancheng, but now he felt the King of Hancheng was fortunate to have met a ruler like Bai Qingyan. Perhaps the trust Bai Qingyan gave to the King of Hancheng was genuine, and the King felt it, which is why... he was willing to pledge his loyalty to Bai Qingyan.

A soldier would die for a worthy commander, and the King of Hancheng always had a heart for the country and the people, but was not trusted.

Now that he’s gone, perhaps... the King of Hancheng had no regrets.

"General Jiang Huaisheng, in two days you will lead the navy into battle. Familiarize the soldiers with the new ships. The sea is yours to command!" Bai Qingyan said to Jiang Huaisheng.
