Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 478

Chapter 478: 475

Shen Yanzong’s movement was too abrupt, startling Bai Qingping, who was in the middle of drinking tea. He quickly set down his teacup and hastily tried to kneel.

Bai Qingyan gestured for Bai Qingping not to kneel. "It’s just a title. Young Master Shen, please rise. We are among friends. From now on, there’s no need to kneel when you see me. A simple bow will do!"

When Shen Yanzong heard the words "among friends," he became particularly emotional.

Bai Qingyan walked forward and sat in the main seat, asking, "You two have come regarding the matter of training soldiers?"

"Indeed!" Bai Qingping nodded.

After sitting down, Shen Yanzong addressed Bai Qingyan. "Those individuals who came from the Southern Frontier and whose backgrounds are unclear have tried several times to escape after the Princess went to the Northern Frontier. Each time, Peace Brother and I managed to detain them through various means!" _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes. These people were sent by Li Tianfu to take her life. Naturally, once she left, they were eager to pursue her.

"You both did well!" Bai Qingyan looked at Shen Yanzong and Bai Qingping. "How is the training going with those individuals?"

"Those people are highly skilled. Their combat techniques are very practical! Many moves have been recorded by Peace Brother, and everyone is learning from them!" This time, Shen Yanzong did not take credit for Bai Qingping’s accomplishments. Smiling, he glanced at Bai Qingping and spoke to Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingping hurriedly clasped his hands in respect. "Thanks to Brother Yanzong pointing out the effectiveness of their techniques, I thought to record them for everyone to learn."

This was indeed making the best use of resources. A smile flickered in Bai Qingyan’s eyes. If Li Tianfu found out that the assassins she sent were training soldiers for her in Shuoyang, she wondered how furious she would be.

"Continue to keep a close watch on those people!" Bai Qingyan then asked, "On my way back to Shuoyang from Dadu, I heard that several counties near Shuoyang have experienced child abductions. Some people even witnessed bandits descending from the mountains to snatch children and flee."

Bai Qingping nodded. "There are indeed such rumors. Recently, Brother Yanzong and I have been intensifying training. Perhaps in half a month, we can attempt our first raid on the bandits!"

Bai Qingyan nodded. "The Emperor rewarded us with a considerable amount of gold and silver this time. Later, Young Master Shen, please inventory it, and use it all for training soldiers and fighting the bandits."

When Shen Yanzong heard that he was tasked with inventorying the Emperor’s rewards, his throat tightened. He felt that this meant Bai Qingyan didn’t see him as an outsider. He repeatedly agreed.

"Nanny Tong, take Young Master Shen to inventory and make a record of it! Bai Qingping, you stay for a moment..." Bai Qingyan said.

Shen Yanzong looked at Bai Qingping in some confusion. He then complied with a bow and left with Nanny Tong to inventory the rewards.

"Sister, do you want to ask about... my mother?" Bai Qingping’s palms tightened, feeling quite embarrassed.
