Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 861

Chapter 861: Chapter 858: Together with Wei Shuoyang

"Yang Wuce, heed my command!" Bai Qingyan’s eyes were steadfast. "You and General Liu Hong, along with twenty thousand soldiers, will make your way through Puwen City, Longyang City, Youhua City, Tianlan Mountain, and Yushan Pass, to reach the Capital City. You are strictly forbidden to enforce child conscription! Any violation... will be executed without mercy!"

"I accept the order!" Yang Wuce responded loudly, clasping his fists.

Bai Qingyan turned to the silent, tight-lipped Liu Hong. "General Liu, do you have any questions?"

Liu Hong... Bai Qingyan did not wish to oppose him, so she let him see for himself what the Emperor had done... to see if this Emperor was worth his loyalty unto death, hoping Liu Hong would awaken.

Liu Hong trembled all over, knowing that the tide had turned in Bai Qingyan’s favor.

Although he was the Commander in the war against Daliang, all strategies were devised by Bai Qingyan. And now that Daliang’s battles were over, in terms of rank... he had to heed Bai Qingyan, in terms of power... he also had to heed Bai Qingyan.

After contemplating for a moment, he looked up at Bai Qingyan.

"I, Liu, have but one question for the Princess of Zhen..." Liu Hong’s eyes were red as he solemnly looked at Bai Qingyan, finally daring to ask, "Princess of Zhen, are you rebelling?"

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s unhurried and stoic demeanor, Liu Hong’s eyes grew hot. Without waiting for Bai Qingyan’s reply, he shouted, "In Longyang City, the Princess of Zhen once told me, the loyalty and righteousness of the Bai family are known throughout the kingdoms. The border people of the Jin Kingdom have been fiercely protected by the Bai family’s grandfather, father, and generations of Bai family soldiers! So the Bai family would never rebel! They would never seek personal gain when the nation is in peril! But why does the Princess of Zhen now show no respect for imperial authority?! Why?!"

"That day, Bai Qingyan told General Liu, the Bai family would never rebel! They would never seek personal gain when the nation is in peril because their loyalty is to the people of Jin Kingdom, and they have protected them at the cost of their lives! The Bai family fights and kills to protect its borders and the people!"

The words Bai Qingyan spoke to him in Longyang City gradually became clear in Liu Hong’s mind, and he began to understand Bai Qingyan’s intentions, stepping back unsteadily.

"The protector of the people... the Bai family protects them! Protect the people for generations, the Bai family protects them for generations! Those who harm the people... the Bai family will protect the people, and rebel! And eliminate them!" Bai Qingyan, on her high horse, tightened the reins and advanced two steps, her gaze fixed on the soldiers looking towards her, her voice resolute, "Once, the Bai family and Bai family soldiers fought to protect thousands of Jin Kingdom’s commoners, enabling the Lin family to attain supreme imperial power! Today, Bai Qingyan rises for the people of Jin Kingdom, to rebel against Lin family’s imperial power! To return a peaceful and unafraid land to the people, and let them live peaceful lives! Life or death, no regrets! Today, Bai Qingyan earnestly asks all of you... to join her, to shoulder the burden together, and unite to protect all the people!"

Under the scorching sun, the woman clad in silver armor now truly revealed her killing aura, an aura that... as long as she stood there, she became the heart of the army; as long as she stood there, she instilled fear in the enemy troops.

Yang Wuce, stirred by Bai Qingyan’s powerful words, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and shouted, "Swear to follow the Princess of Zhen to the death!"

Lin Kangle and Yang Wei dismounted and knelt, leading the soldiers in chanting.

"Swear to follow the Princess of Zhen to the death!"

"Swear to follow the Princess of Zhen to the death!"

"Swear to follow the Princess of Zhen to the death!"

Liu Hong watched as the soldiers knelt and shouted in unison, stepping back continuously and stumbling to the ground.
