Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 934

Chapter 934: Chapter 931: Invaluable

Li Zhijie casually placed the melon seeds on a nearby plate, turned around, and sat back on the soft couch, lifting his eyes to gaze at the gently flickering candle flame. His fingers rubbed his chin, and the expression in his eyes turned sullen...

If Bai Qingyan truly ascends to the throne, they will have to proceed with the original plan, offering fifteen cities to Zhou, with Yun Poxing’s grandson coming personally to sacrifice himself and admit his wrongs.

Back then, Yun Poxing humiliated the Bai family by disemboweling their seventeen sons; today, Yun Poxing’s grandson must also disembowel himself publicly to repay this humiliation, merely hoping the Empress of Zhou would forgive and let go of the past three-year agreement with Yun Poxing.

Only by doing so, when Rong and Xiliang go to war, Zhou will have no pretext to attack Xiliang.

Moreover, if Xiliang does so, yet Bai Qingyan insists on war, the court officials might raise objections.

Li Zhijie closed his eyes, realizing Yun Poxing’s utter loyalty was ingrained to the bone for Xiliang.

Sending his eldest grandson to Zhou was Yun Poxing’s tearful plea to the emperor.

The battle at Wengshan in Xiliang cost them a hundred thousand elite troops, and now untrained new soldiers can barely withstand Zhou, let alone also contend with Rong.

If they hadn’t seen the letters from Rong and Yan, it would have been fine, but since they have, and knowing Rong intends to attack Xiliang within three years, Xiliang must prepare.

Rong served to stabilize Yan for Xiliang, and now Xiliang must stabilize Zhou, so that... Xiliang can engage Rong without restraint, striving to eliminate Rong!

Yun Poxing’s family is full of loyal and brave men; the Xiliang royal family is not like the Jin Kingdom’s royal family.

The entire Bai family was loyal and righteous but met a tragic end due to a wary ruler; this is something Li Zhijie would never allow to happen in Xiliang, nor would the Empress of Xiliang.

Therefore, neither Li Zhijie nor the Empress of Xiliang wants Yun Poxing’s grandson to die here; he is also a fine son of Xiliang. He knows well what his purpose in coming here is, yet he came resolutely.

He came to use his life to buy time for his motherland, allowing it to focus on dealing with the treacherous Rong.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, using Yun Poxing’s grandson’s death to restrict the Empress of Zhou from legitimately sending troops against Xiliang, sparing Xiliang from splitting forces against Zhou while contending with Rong, seems like a great deal. However, in the eyes of the Empress of Xiliang and Li Zhijie... it’s not a good deal.

Loyal and brave men are invaluable!

If Yun Poxing’s grandson truly were to die here, it would chill the hearts of the Xiliang people.

After much contemplation, Li Zhijie decided to assist the King of Baishui, striving to kill Bai Qingyan at the coronation ceremony, preserving Xiliang’s fine sons.

Li Zhijie fixed his gaze on the flickering candle flame, made up his mind, and called out, "Someone!"

His trusted aide outside the door responded and entered, saluting, "Your Highness!"

"How many death warriors did we bring this time?" Li Zhijie glanced at his subordinate.

The subordinate lifted his head and replied, "More than sixty!"

"All... hand them over to the King of Baishui, let him find a way to get them into the Imperial Palace. These people are our top death warriors and assassins from Xiliang. They will surely aid him in killing Bai Qingyan!" Li Zhijie thought for a moment and added, "Instruct our death warriors to be cautious, to prevent people from realizing they are from Xiliang, and even if... even if they die, their bodies must not reveal to the Empress of Zhou that they are from Xiliang. Tell them to be discreet!"
