Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 437

Chapter 437: Chapter 434: Military Law Disposal_1

Xun Tianzhang’s son heard that the Jin Army had been routed and was already fleeing in the direction of Youhua City. He couldn’t help but feel regret; the plan to flood Longyang City would have surely crippled the Jin Army’s forces significantly.

But if there was no way to flood Longyang City, by the time the main force moved towards Youhua City, they would have to battle the recovering Jin Army again.

"Young General Bai of the Bai family..." Zhao Sheng, who was riding alongside Xun Tianzhang’s son, sneered while wiping the rain off his face. "So what? Still beaten into retreat!"

Xun Tianzhang’s son asked Zhao Sheng, "Have you found Zhao Tong?"

"The Zhao family’s soldiers are looking for him. They should find him soon! They fled so hastily, they definitely didn’t have time to take Zhao Tong with them!"

Just as Zhao Sheng finished speaking, a corporal of the Zhao family army came running, dropped to one knee, and said, "General, we found General Zhao Tong. General Zhao Tong was... was..."

Zhao Sheng’s heart tightened. He dismounted, dragged the corporal up, and asked, "What happened to my brother?!"

Xun Tianzhang’s son also dismounted. "Don’t panic yet!"

"General Zhao Tong was tortured by the Jin Army... using the method created by General Zhao!"

Before the corporal finished, Zhao Sheng kicked him in the chest. The corporal clutched his chest, hurriedly supporting himself up, and knelt on one knee. "I am incompetent!"

Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, hatred for Bai Qingyan boiling in his heart.

"Ancestral integrity" for a man is significant. How could Zhao Sheng, being a man, not understand?

He stepped forward into the rain, teeth gnashing. "How many people know about this?!"

"Only the six of us who went to rescue General Zhao Tong from the prison!"

Zhao Sheng crouched down, eyes like a hawk staring at the corporal. "Go back and tell the other five, if this gets out, I will take their lives!"

"Yes!" The corporal of the Zhao family army quickly lowered his head.

"Take me to him!" Zhao Sheng stood and spoke.

Xun Tianzhang’s son watched Zhao Sheng ride hastily to rescue his brother. He pursed his lips and braved the rain to the city wall. Watching the Liang Army breaking into houses, searching for treasures, he felt this habit needed change.

He ran his hand over the rain-washed bricks of Longyang City’s wall. Perhaps not flooding Longyang City was for the best. After all, they weren’t just here to fight and leave; Longyang City would belong to the Liang Kingdom. To avoid Liang Kingdom having to rebuild Longyang City, it was better this way.

He patted the clean bricks of the city wall and turned to give orders. "Go report to the Commander that our army has taken Longyang City! Please have the Commander enter the city!"

"Yes!"

Tianlan Mountain lay between Longyang City and Youhua City.

From Longyang City towards Tianlan Mountain, the terrain rises higher, and there has been a saying since ancient times: "The Dragon Mother’s Wrath Stops at Tianlan." Once at Tianlan Mountain, there was no fear of flooding.

Bai Qingyan and Liu Hong dispatched part of their forces back to Tianlan Mountain, requisitioning nearby ships, and waited quietly between Tianlan Mountain and Longyang City.

That night, the heavy rain continued unabated. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
