Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 448

Chapter 448: Chapter 445: Will Not Let You Down_1

Xiao Rongyan sat upright, as if suddenly enlightened, his whole body tensed up. Just a moment ago... he was still thinking that with the unification of the world, he could finally take a few days to relax and live freely.

But Bai Qingyan’s words hit him hard, making him suddenly alert.

Yan was still in such a situation now, and he wanted to relax. If one day the world was truly unified, wouldn’t the Yan royal court and even the common people below be prone to such laziness?

In the past few years, the entire Yan Kingdom was united, striving with one heart and mind to recover Nanyan.

Afterward, the Yan army was ambitious, wanting to... conquer the world.

Although the unification of the world seemed far off, they were steadily progressing towards it. He should indeed plan ahead, so that after unification, Yan’s direction wouldn’t catch him off guard.

After the chaos of the warring states, there would be an era of peace...

Once the five kingdoms were unified, Empress Ji’s new policies could be implemented for the people of all five kingdoms, who would surely be thrilled.

However, the entrenched forces of the aristocratic families in each country would strongly resist Empress Ji’s new policies. It would be impossible to eliminate them all. How to balance and handle this would be the first major problem after unification.

Xiao Rongyan was greatly shaken. He deeply wished that if one day Bai Qingyan could come to Yan to assist them, Yan would be like a tiger with wings.

"Rongyan... is grateful for the lesson!" Xiao Rongyan earnestly said.

"What I said to Mr. Xiao today are the words my grandfather once taught my father. Grandfather always lamented the fall of the Second Emperor of Qin and often discussed it with my father. Today, it just so happened to share it with Mr. Xiao."

"The King of Zhen truly is the pillar of Zhen!" Xiao Rongyan couldn’t help but sigh.

The Bai family not only had the ambition to pacify the world but also the heart to support the common people. Truly admirable.

Having said this, Bai Qingyan bowed to Xiao Rongyan: "My Bai ancestors once swore to protect the people if they ever took even a grain of the people’s food. Should the Lin family of the Jin Kingdom fall one day, the Bai family would take it. If I live to see that day, then... I will compete with Mr. Xiao in the Central Plains to see who can rule the land!"

Xiao Rongyan was thrilled by Bai Qingyan’s words. It was just like... an expert chess player meeting a worthy opponent, itching to play.

Xiao Rongyan finally understood why Bai Qingyan would share her grandfather’s teachings with him.

The Bai family truly engraved the words "support the common people" into their essence. What Bai Qingyan hoped for was that after the unification of the world, whether achieved by her Bai family or by his Yan Kingdom, the ruler would think ahead, stabilize the hard-won unification, and not let the people suffer again, thinking that after the hardships come the sweetness, only to fall into greater turmoil.

Unification... was for the sake of lasting peace and tranquility in the world! No one who aimed for dominion should forget this.

Xiao Rongyan looked at Bai Qingyan and wanted to agree, but once he did, it seemed they would be pulled further apart, becoming opponents.

Seeing that Xiao Rongyan was silent for a long time, Bai Qingyan stood up first and said to him: "I will see Mr. Xiao off."

Bai Qingyan nodded and walked with Xiao Rongyan to the white stallion. _{freёwebnovel.com}
