Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Chapter 418: Worthy of the Name_1

As soon as they got out of the prison, Lin Kangle asked, "Is the Commandery Princess planning to lead the Zhao family’s forces from the Liang Kingdom here to rescue Zhao Tong?"

"No need to lead them. Today... they will surely take action. Are the construction blueprints of Longyang City still available?" Bai Qingyan asked Lin Kangle.

Lin Kangle nodded. "Once we entered the city, the county magistrate of Longyang City handed the blueprints to me. If the Commandery Princess needs them, I will dispatch someone to fetch them immediately. But, Commandery Princess... Zhao Tong is not the commander. Would the Zhao family’s forces really come to rescue Zhao Tong?"

"They surely will!" Bai Qingyan replied to Lin Kangle. "Zhao Tong is a member of the Zhao family. The Zhao family’s forces will spare no effort to rescue him!"

Just like the soldiers of the Bai family’s army would risk their lives to save a Bai family member in times of danger. It is the same logic.

"General Lin, please immediately send someone to deliver a challenge to the Liang Camp! I have arrived in Longyang City. Xun Tianzhang will certainly be suspicious about whether the Jin Kingdom’s reinforcements have arrived. Thus... Xun Tianzhang will certainly send people to probe the Jin Kingdom’s military strength in order to decide his next strategic movements. The Zhao family’s forces will also take this opportunity to request to go to Longyang City to gather information about our forces and rescue Zhao Tong." Bai Qingyan instructed Lin Kangle.

"What if Xun Tianzhang accepts the battle? Our reinforcements have not arrived yet..." Lin Kangle hesitated.

"Although Xun Tianzhang is ruthless, he is cautious. He won’t rashly engage in battle without fully understanding the Jin Kingdom’s military strength!" Bai Qingyan said.

Judging by Xun Tianzhang sending Liang soldiers to probe the Jin Kingdom across Chunmu Mountain’s border, it was clear... Xun Tianzhang liked to have full control over the situation. Her appearance was an unexpected variable for Xun Tianzhang. He wouldn’t act hastily without understanding this variable.

Otherwise, Xun Tianzhang wouldn’t have formally declared war on the Jin Kingdom a few days after Zhang Duanrui sent back the corpses of Liang soldiers to the Liang Camp.

"General Lin, please tell me what information you have about the Liang army’s troop placements and where they have set up camp. Also, please arrange for my guards who came with me to be properly settled. They’ve been traveling day and night without rest and are quite fatigued!" Bai Qingyan said to Lin Kangle with a salute.

"Of course! Of course!" Lin Kangle responded quickly.

Since the Princess of Zhen arrived, capturing Zhao Tong in three moves and greatly boosting the Jin army’s morale, Lin Kangle, too, was filled with enthusiasm and was determined to follow Bai Qingyan’s orders.

Liang Camp.

Zhao Tong’s deputy returned to camp, quickly reporting the matter of Bai Qingyan appearing in Longyang City and capturing Zhao Tong in three moves to the main commander’s tent, causing an uproar among the generals.

Zhao Tong’s elder brother, Zhao Sheng, tightly gripped the hilt of his sword and raised his voice. "Impossible! My second brother, Zhao Tong, is one of our most valiant and formidable generals. You say that a woman named Bai Qingyan captured him in three moves?"

"That’s hard to say. She’s the granddaughter of Duke Bai Weiting, the one who personally beheaded Pang Pingguo. She shouldn’t be underestimated!" a Liang general said.

"And just a few months ago, in the battle at the southern border of the Jin Kingdom, this Bai Qingyan caused Yun Poxing to flee in panic, proving she is no ordinary person."

"Although the previously rumored title of ’God of Slaughter’ made us laugh, now it seems it might indeed be well-deserved. We have underestimated the women of the Bai family! Zhang Duanrui is dead. Could this mean that Bai Weiting’s granddaughter has been appointed as the new commander of the Jin army?"
