Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Chapter 855: Hell on Earth

Bai Qingyan leaped off her horse, turning back to look at the two children and two women brought back by the cavalry. They were full of uncertainty and panic.

She spoke soothingly, "Don’t worry, with me here... no one can take a child away from Chunmu City! Go back!"

The young woman, hearing this, immediately burst into tears and hurriedly pulled the two children to kneel and kowtow to Bai Qingyan, "The compassion of the Princess of Zhen, this humble woman will definitely remember! I dare not forget! Hudaner, Niuniu, quickly... quickly kowtow to the Princess of Zhen!"

The old woman also followed suit, crying and kowtowing, "Thank you, Princess of Zhen!"

"Princess of Zhen!" Liu Hong did not agree with Bai Qingyan letting the children go. Since the Imperial Edict demanded these children, they must be sent to the Nine-Layered Terrace. He believed the Emperor would use the throne to exchange with King Liang, but he did not believe the Emperor would use the lives of a thousand children to refine that elusive Immortal Elixir.

Bai Qingyan ignored Liu Hong’s voice, helping the women and children up, "Get up! No need for this! Go back quickly!"

Seeing more government officials rushing over, each drawing their long knives intending to charge into the government office, Bai Qingyan’s eyes turned cold as she ordered, "Yang Wuce, surround the government office, do not let those officials get close to the people by even a step!"

"Yes!" Yang Wuce responded, leading half the cavalry to dismount and surround the front of the government office.

Those government officials who had rushed over saw fifty soldiers surrounding the gates of the government office, actually drawing their blades towards them, preventing their entry. The officials looked at each other, unsure of the situation.

Inside the government office, the people who had found their children saw their children locked in wooden cages. They cried and cursed as they broke the locks to rescue their children, holding them closely, kissing and caressing them.

The crippled veteran still cried out for everyone to quickly retreat, and only then did the people hurriedly pull their children and run out.

Just as they were about to rush out of the government office, they saw the gates surrounded by soldiers. Strangely, the soldiers did not draw their blades towards them but rather blocked the officials outside.

The crippled veteran protected the people and his own son behind him, warily looking at the Jin Army outside the gates.

"General, have you got it wrong?" An official there to apprehend the disruptive people was puzzled, "The people stealing children are inside!"

"I know!" Yang Wuce stood at the front, holding his sword, "The Princess of Zhen has ordered, you officials are not to get close to the people by even a step!"

The officials, knowing they couldn’t outfight these soldiers, turned to whisper to their subordinates, "Quickly! Notify the county magistrate... the Princess of Zhen is here!"

Bai Qingyan and Liu Hong, with the remaining fifty cavalry, walked towards the gates of the government office.
