Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1171: Restless and Anxious

"Don’t worry, Eldest Young Lady!" Bai Qingqi responded.

The youngest, Bai Jinse, seemed to have not yet recovered from yesterday’s battle. She tightly followed behind Bai Qingyan, not having eaten anything, her little face pale and spiritless.

Whenever Bai Jinse tried to eat, she felt her mouth filled with the taste of blood, recalling the battlefield’s severed limbs and rivers of blood, making her feel extremely nauseous.

Bai Qingyu noticed his sister shrinking behind the Eldest Young Lady, looking very uncomfortable. He deliberately slowed down a step to walk alongside Bai Jinse.

He looked straight ahead, his large hand resting on Bai Jinse’s head, "Our Little Seven is definitely much more formidable than Yan’s Young Emperor. She can provide counsel to the Eldest Young Lady, doesn’t cry on the battlefield, and isn’t a complete mess after coming off it!"

Upon hearing the word "mess," Bai Jinse quickly covered her mouth with both hands.

Bai Qingyu turned back, his bright and unmasked features showing the gentlest smile, "If Father were still here, he would definitely be proud of you!"

Hearing this, Bai Jinse’s tears began to flow out rapidly. If Father were still here... would he really be proud seeing her on the battlefield?

Bai Qingyu gently rubbed Bai Jinse’s head, "Mother, your brothers, and sister are all proud of you too!"

Bai Jinse lowered her hands from her mouth, wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and nodded, "Mm!"

Hearing the soothing words of A Yu behind her, Bai Qingyan’s smile deepened slightly...

If Grandfather, Father...and the uncles, the Bai family ancestors, were to see the Bai family children gathered at Yecheng Pass today, striving to achieve the peaceful land they had hoped for, they would definitely be proud of all Bai descendants.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first month. Bai Qingjue led the Bai family soldiers to clean up Yecheng Pass and hung lanterns on the city wall. Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua wrapped dumplings with the soldiers, while Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingqi, Bai Jinxiu, and Bai Qingyu... along with Bai Qingyun, settled on the map in front establishing the subsequent siege strategy.

"After breaching Xiliang’s Yecheng Pass, Xiliang can no longer defend any natural barriers. Yunjing... is already at our fingertips!" Bai Qingqi pointed his finger in the direction of Yunjing, "It’s just a matter of whether we and Little Four, along with Yan Kingdom, can get into Yunjing first."

Bai Qingyan’s gaze settled on Yunjing, thinking of Li Tianjiao, "Now that Li Tianjiao has returned to Yunjing, she is definitely not an emperor who retreats and lets themselves be slaughtered upon encountering strong enemies..."

Reflecting, she said, "Send someone to inform Little Four that Li Tianjiao has returned to Yunjing, let Little Four and Uncle Shen convey this to Li Tianfu, and strike a deal with Li Tianfu. If Li Tianfu still wants to be Xiliang’s king, then she should cooperate with us Zhou..."

Yet Bai Qingyan realized that Li Tianfu probably wouldn’t cooperate with Zhou; she would wish for the war to be as challenging as possible.

"Li Tianfu’s accession was announced across the four borders of Xiliang, even if Li Tianjiao steps up, it would still sow seeds of doubt among Xiliang’s soldiers. As long as they have any doubts, we will win!" Bai Qingyun said.

Bai Qingyu considered it, speaking slowly, "But I fear Li Tianfu might not cooperate for the sake of Lu Tianzhuo, because... Li Tianfu is a lunatic, solely focused on annihilating Zhou."

"Lu Tianzhuo?" Bai Qingyun appeared puzzled, clenching his fist, "The adopted son of Shu Kingdom’s General Pang, who killed... our Second Brother, that scoundrel?"

Bai Jinse, who prepared refreshments for her brothers and sisters, entered, replacing the tea Bai Qingyan had with a cooled one, "Eldest Young Lady, Doctor Hong is here for Eldest Young Lady ’s pulse check, and he urged not to delay. I noticed Doctor Hong looks very upset."

When Bai Qingyan led the Bai family troops to attack Yecheng Pass, Doctor Hong’s heart was on edge, knowing Bai Qingyan was pregnant; how could he not be worried?

Having captured Yecheng Pass, Doctor Hong heard Bai Qingyan was injured and rushed to see her...

But then she went to inspect the camps!

Even when he went tent to tent searching for Bai Qingyan without success, he later learned she personally climbed the mountain to bury the Bai family soldiers who died in this battle, which was also important, so Doctor Hong couldn’t say anything.

He was told to wait for Bai Qingyan to come down the mountain and send someone to call him. Yet after waiting patiently, just as they were getting down the mountain, Doctor Hong fell asleep and upon waking, he heard Bai Qingyan didn’t let anyone wake him, saying he should sleep well!

Doctor Hong, upon further inquiry, well...it seemed Bai Qingyan really treated herself as invincible, even while studying the upcoming march route, without recognizing at all she was carrying twins.

Irritated, Doctor Hong put on his shoes and rushed over.

Bai Qingyan smiled as she took the tea Bai Jinse handed her, asking Bai Jinse, "Little Seven, are you returning to Dadu City with Eldest Young Lady, or following your Fifth Brother and the others... continuing to the next city?"
