Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 920

Chapter 920: Chapter 917: Tucking the Tail

But he could also see that Lin Kangle, though rough in appearance, was meticulous, making him good material for leading troops into battle. No wonder Lin Kangle, who came from a commoner background, could become Deputy General under General Zhang Duanrui at this age and was now valued by Bai Qingyan.

Hearing Lin Kangle’s voice coming from outside, Bai Jinxiu, who was kneeling beside the soft couch, looked up at Bai Qingyan, her voice choking, "Eldest Young Lady, Grandmother is already gone. We should quickly escort Grandmother back to Dadu City so she can be buried in peace as soon as possible."

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and gently stroked the still warm and soft hand of the Eldest Princess, nodding.

Although Grandmother couldn’t wait for the enthronement ceremony, couldn’t wait to see the moment when Bai family’s offspring were still alive, in her final journey, she was sent off by Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu, which meant family was by her side.

At least before Grandmother passed, she knew A Yu, Ah Jue, and A Yun were still alive, which should have been comforting to her heart.

Bai Qingyan, with a hoarse voice, said, "Send someone... to inform the Bai family about the passing!"

"Alright!" Bai Jinxiu supported herself by the edges of the soft couch to stand up, feeling her legs weak and numb, barely managed to get up, and called out, "Someone..."

Hearing the voice, Shen Tianzhi and Lin Kangle quickly turned and walked into the tent.

"Your Majesty..."

Lin Kangle and Shen Tianzhi knelt and saluted Bai Qingyan.

She slowly released her grandmother’s hand, placed it within the blanket, tidied it up, and then turned to look at Lin Kangle and Shen Tianzhi, "Stand up. In the future, there’s no need for such grand salutes in the army. Luohong City has fallen, and the Jin Dynasty has ended. We set off for Dadu City today. Shen Tianzhi, you stay behind with sixty thousand soldiers and take on the role of Governor of Luohong City to help the people repair their houses and rebuild Luohong City."

"Won’t sixty thousand soldiers be too many?" Lin Kangle asked frankly.

Lin Kangle wasn’t doubting Shen Tianzhi, just thinking that leaving a thousand would be enough to help the people rebuild Luohong City.

"Yes!" Shen Tianzhi accepted the order.

"General Lin, let the soldiers who fought the fires rest for a day. Tomorrow, lead your troops to the land of that old Jin Kingdom Prince in Hedong to deliver the decree... Ensure that their Princely Heir does not delay and reaches Dadu City by June 20th to attend the enthronement ceremony. If not... arrest them! Surround Hedong... If there’s any movement from Hedong Prince’s Mansion, do not show mercy."

Bai Qingyan originally planned to personally visit the three fiefdoms of Hedong, Anxi, and Shuofang, but now with her grandmother’s passing... the body needed to be transported back to Dadu City for the funeral, so she decided not to go to all three places.

She planned to let Bai Jinxiu escort her grandmother’s body back to Dadu City first, while she herself would personally visit Anxi and Shuofang and return to Dadu City as soon as possible.

"Yes!" Lin Kangle accepted the order and then looked up at Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty, there’s another matter... The deposed Crown Prince of the previous dynasty and Mr. Qin Shangzhi came to surrender last night. The deposed Crown Prince got stabbed in the chest and has now been rescued. Does Your Majesty want to meet Mr. Qin?"

Bai Qingyan glanced back at her grandmother, wondering... if knowing the deposed Crown Prince was still alive would bring a bit of comfort to her grandmother.
