Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1481

Chapter 1481: Chapter 1476: Good Brothers

"I accept the command!"

"I accept the command!"

Shen Liangyu and Cheng Yuanzhi each accepted their orders and swiftly left with their troops.

The commander of Liuguan City only knew that the Bai family army was currently attacking Guadu City and had already sent someone to the capital of Dongyi Kingdom to report, but he never expected that Zhou would suddenly attack Liuguan City.

At the same time, Guadu City, lacking reinforcements, had already been taken by Bai Qingjue and Bai Jinzhi leading the Bai family army.

After capturing the defending commander and city officials alive, Bai Jinzhi wore a sullen expression. Lu Yuanpeng, walking side by side with Bai Jinzhi, wasn’t too happy either. He turned and asked Sima Ping, "What exactly does this Dongyi Kingdom rely on to be so arrogant towards our Zhou? Are they relying on being utterly shameless and unaware of their limits? They’re so bad at fighting, yet they dare challenge Zhou. The Emperor of Dongyi must have mush for brains!"

Lu Yuanpeng had prepared for this battle for a long time, intending to avenge the Prince of Hancheng and his sister. But... he had mentally braced himself to the utmost, and yet as soon as the Bai family army’s banner appeared, the enemy itself fell into chaos. It’s as if he had planned to enjoy the thrill of the hunt, only for the rabbit to jump directly into his pocket upon arrival at the hunting ground—what’s the fun in that?

Lu Yuanpeng voiced what Bai Jinzhi wanted to say. Bai Jinzhi frowned deeply and said with hatred, "The Prince of Hancheng actually died at the hands of this ignorant little country. No wonder the Eldest Young Lady found it so hard to accept!"

"The Dongyi Kingdom isn’t stupid." Sima Ping walked with his hands behind his back, and softly spoke to the two of them, "First, the Dongyi Kingdom is a nation surrounded by sea, so... their naval force is the strongest. It’s understandable that their infantry is weak! Moreover, Zhou is in the midst of a gamble; if we lose... his Majesty would have to step down from his supreme position. The Emperor of Dongyi judges from himself, thinking the Emperor would tolerate Dongyi Kingdom for the sake of a great victory in the gamble. That’s why they dare provoke us like this!"

Bai Jinzhi’s footsteps paused, and she turned to look at Sima Ping. These words... she had heard this from her eldest sister, second sister, as well as her brothers.

Her elder sister also said that if they didn’t destroy Dongyi Kingdom this time, the country would definitely try to gain benefits and would even try their utmost to stop Zhou from winning the gamble, because Dongyi was also worried that after Zhou won, it would immediately come to settle accounts with them.

Looking at Sima Ping, Bai Jinzhi’s eyes sparkled with laughter: "Well done, Sima Ping! My sister and brothers have all said the same thing! I knew you were smart, but I didn’t expect you to be on par with my brothers and sisters!"

Sima Ping was startled by Bai Jinzhi’s praise, then smiled, raised his hand to pat Bai Jinzhi’s head using his height advantage, slightly leaned down to meet her gaze, and said, "The Bai family, each one of them is remarkable. Yet why is Gaoyi so lacking in our Emperor’s wisdom?"

Bai Jinzhi glared at Sima Ping: "Sima Ping, with that venomous tongue of yours, you’ll never find a wife. You’ll be stuck spending your life with Lu Yuanpeng as a pair!"

"How is this my problem? I plan to get married!" Lu Yuanpeng’s ears turned red, "I don’t want to spend my life with Sima Ping!"

Bai Jinzhi tidied her bangs and warned, pointing at Sima Ping and Lu Yuanpeng: "If either of you dares to touch my head again, I’ll charge you with insubordination and whip you with the military stick!"
