Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Chapter 427: Don’t Linger in Battle_1

The entire city remained on high alert until Fu Ruoxi, riding at the front, held up the head of Liang Kingdom’s warrior Gu Shanhai and shouted, "This humble servant Fu Ruoxi, returning from rescuing at Huoshen Mountain! I’ve beheaded Liang Army’s warrior Gu Shanhai!"

No one expected Fu Ruoxi to be so brave, not only rescuing people but also beheading the fierce general of the Liang Army!

Liu Hong, overjoyed, shouted, "Open the city gates quickly!"

Bai Qingyan quickly rushed down the city tower, with Lu Ping and the Bai family guards immediately following.

Seeing the city gates open, Fu Ruoxi, Lin Kangle, and Wang Xiping rode into the city. As soon as she dismounted, Fu Ruoxi said, "Quick, prepare food and drinks! The brothers trapped in Huoshen Mountain are starving!"

After saying this, Fu Ruoxi hurriedly walked towards the visibly tense Bai Qingyan, clasped her fists, and said, "Commandery Princess, the Liang Army suddenly returned. To save the Jin Army brothers who have been trapped for nearly half a month, County Lord of Gaoyi led people to divert the Liang Army into the deep forest. Now, the Liang Army has set fire to the mountain, surrounded it, and I, unable to save County Lord of Gaoyi, had to return first! Please, Commandery Princess, forgive me!"

"Commandery Princess, don’t worry!" Wang Xiping wiped the ash from his face and said, "Du Sanbao took a battalion and is searching for County Lord of Gaoyi in the mountain."

Bai Qingyan’s hand tightened around the Sun-shooting Bow. She felt a surge of coldness through her spine, and her body trembled. She clenched her teeth, said nothing, untied the iron sandbags wrapped around her arms, and quickly stepped forward to grab the reins, leaping onto her horse. "Bai family guards! Mount up!"

"Yes!" The Bai family guards’ voices were booming.

Lu Ping gritted his teeth, and along with twenty Bai family guards, leapt onto their horses, their entire bodies radiating murderous intent. They were ready to follow Bai Qingyan to Huoshen Mountain to rescue Bai Jinzhi.

"Commandery Princess!" Fu Ruoxi called out with a guilty heart.

"Commandery Princess!" Liu Hong’s eyes widened as he shouted. Unable to care about anything else, he rushed forward and grabbed Bai Qingyan’s horse’s reins. "Commandery Princess! The Liang Army set the mountain on fire, and County Lord of Gaoyi has no chance of survival! Even General Fu Ruoxi couldn’t save her. If you go, it’ll be certain death!"

"So, leaving Du Sanbao and his battalion there means sending them to their deaths?" Bai Qingyan’s eyes were frosty, and she forcefully pulled back the reins.

Liu Hong gritted his teeth and stood in front of the horse. To prevent Bai Qingyan from rushing to Huoshen Mountain to her death, he shouted loudly, "Commandery Princess, you are different from Du Sanbao and the others. Even though I am the Commander of the Jin Army, Commandery Princess, your talent for commanding is the one who devises our military strategies! Du Sanbao can die, but you must not be harmed!"

"Move aside!" Bai Qingyan was furious. Her heart burned with the desire to save her sister. Her eyes turned red, and she didn’t want to argue with Liu Hong. She cracked her whip and urged her horse straight towards Liu Hong. "Hyah!"

"Commander, watch out!" Fu Ruoxi rushed over and pushed Liu Hong away.
