Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1494

Chapter 1494: Chapter 1489: Spies

Some with weak resolve have already knelt down, unable to withstand the pressure.

Bai Qingyan, as if she hadn’t seen it, continued, "The King of Hancheng is dead... I do not wish to break my promise to him. Therefore, for his sake, I am willing to give you another chance. If you do not cherish it, you cannot blame me for not keeping my word!"

Bai Qingyan’s gaze swept over them, her eyes carried a chilling smile that made one’s heart tremble: "May you all recognize the current trend of events clearly!"

"Before I leave, I will leave some spies in the Capital of the Dongyi Kingdom. If you give your all for the Zhou, they will naturally support you wholeheartedly. If you betray the Zhou... you won’t live to return!" Bai Qingyan stood up and said, "I hope you take care of yourselves and also hope that some of you will act wisely. If you can atone for past crimes with new merits... I will forgive and forget!"

After speaking, Bai Qingyan walked out. Bai Jinzhi glanced at the agents inside before frowning and following Bai Qingyan. As soon as Bai Qingyan stepped out, she said to Shen Qingzhu, "In a moment, register the names and official positions of those who are willing to stay on the list, and personally deliver the list to Bai Yusheng, so he can make good use of them and discern carefully."

"Yes!" Shen Qingzhu bowed and went off to handle the matter.

Bai Jinzhi watched Shen Qingzhu leave, then placed her hands behind her back, following her eldest sister, and asked in a low voice: "Eldest Sister, you knew among those people were spies, yet you still allowed them to meet. Aren’t you afraid it will leave a hidden danger for our own spies? Just for the promise to give these spies a way out for King of Hancheng, if anything goes wrong, there won’t just be one casualty!"

Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jinzhi and smiled: "Even the Emperor of the Dongyi Kingdom is one of our Zhou’s own people. What need do we have for spies? What we want... is for our own people to become influential ministers in the Dongyi Kingdom’s royal court! Only when they are aware of each other’s identities can they work together. I just told the Empress that we have many spies in Dongyi, and once the Emperor ascends the throne, he’ll become a key figure in the court!"

Bai Jinzhi’s eyes widened: "I thought, Eldest Sister, you were just trying to anger her!"

"Why would I anger her?" Bai Qingyan halted her steps and tapped Bai Jinzhi’s forehead, "With our Zhou in the dominant position right now, leaving Yusheng in the Dongyi Kingdom, we naturally need to provide him with influential ministers in the royal court, to exclude the Empress from it! Only then can Yusheng freely do as he wishes!"

Bai Jinzhi suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

As they continued to walk, Bai Qingyan told Bai Jinzhi, "Of course, there need to be people in the shadows as well. But the spies Daliang sent in previously, we don’t know who among them is truly loyal to the Zhou or who betrayed the Zhou because of Daliang’s fall. Rather than wasting time and effort investigating all of them, which might not even be completed by the time the country’s situation is decided, it’s better to take some back. Those willing to stay can be utilized openly! And for the shadows... we’ll reinsert our people!"
