Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1564

Chapter 1564: Chapter 1559: Forcing Herself to Hold On

Bai Qingyan charged up the right slope rapidly on horseback, pulling the reins to halt, the steed raised its hooves and came to a standstill, her garment fluttering in the wind. She shouted against the breeze, "All soldiers heed my command, once inside the forest, arrows will be of no use. Follow me... to charge into the forest! Vow to annihilate the bandits!"

Bai Jinzhi turned her head, and saw her Eldest Young Lady, clad in tight-sleeved fighting wear, holding a long spear with her back straight, exposing her identity and figure at the most conspicuous spot of the slope, along with Liu Pinggao and Wei Zhong...

The Eldest Young Lady clearly intended to use herself as bait, to leave the hope of survival for her!

"Eldest Young Lady!" Bai Jinzhi tightly gripped the reins, the blurry sight before her eyes showing her Eldest Young Lady already galloping toward the deep forest.

Quickly, Lu Yuanpeng also rode swiftly and caught up with Bai Jinzhi, engaging in the battle with the Xiping army blocking the exit.

Bai Jinzhi wielded a long knife, swinging it in wide arcs, her mind steadied, determined to break through quickly... only by breaking through, can she swiftly bring reinforcements to rescue Eldest Young Lady!

Bai Jinzhi rushed too hastily, too fast, with no comrades guarding her side, an enemy spear pierced the belly of Bai Jinzhi’s horse. Lu Yuanpeng fiercely pressed his horse forward, grabbing Bai Jinzhi, who fell together with her horse, by her overly large armor. He pulled her onto his horse, grasping his silver spear to fight the enemy.

The Xiping army faced the Anping army and was indeed at a disadvantage in close combat, but the sheer number of Xiping troops overwhelmed them.

This break was far more difficult than imagined!

Lu Yuanpeng and Bai Jinzhi, as if trapped beasts, found themselves encircled, enemies on all sides, sharing one steed. Bai Jinzhi dealt with enemies on the left, Lu Yuanpeng on the right.

Lu Yuanpeng glanced at the entrance not far away, and shouted loudly, "Quickly carve out a bloody path! Hurry!"

Soon, soldiers of Zhou charged forward sacrificing their lives, finally breaking a bloody path, with Lu Yuanpeng’s steed carrying Bai Jinzhi, protected by the cavalry, charging outward...

"Yah!" Lu Yuanpeng pressed the horse fiercely forward.

"Stop them!" The enemy general shouted with alarm as he saw someone breaking through the encirclement, "Do not let them escape alive! Quickly, block them!"

The enemy general knew that if any escaped, reinforcements from Zhou would quickly arrive, as the Yan Kingdom castles now housed only Zhou’s soldiers!

A rain of arrows followed, Lu Yuanpeng dared not look back at his Emperor!

He was of the Bai family army, originally supposed to sacrifice his life to protect the Emperor. Even if the Emperor held a knife to his throat... as a subject, he should prioritize the Emperor’s life.

If Bai Qingyan ordered him to escort another instead, Lu Yuanpeng would never leave Bai Qingyan’s side even at death... but Bai Qingyan ordered him to escort Bai Jinzhi!

He obeyed the order, yet felt a sense of guilt toward his Emperor!

"Faster!" Bai Jinzhi’s voice carried a sobbing tone, "Faster! As long as we bring reinforcements, Eldest Young Lady can be saved!"

Bai Jinzhi understood in her heart, Eldest Young Lady exposed herself to leave the path of survival to her, actually entrusting her with Eldest Young Lady’s path of survival. Eldest Young Lady said... the faster she called for reinforcements, the greater Eldest Young Lady’s hope of survival.
