Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1277

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1272: Bringing a Charge

"Don’t tell me anything, I know nothing! I didn’t hear anything either!" Cheng Yuanzhi quickly covered his ears, "I originally brought you here to discipline you, but then you just disappeared. If General Shen asks, I know nothing!"

"Got it!" Lu Yuanpeng dashed off, and unexpectedly collided head-on with Bai Jinzhi.

"Ah..."

Lu Yuanpeng bent over, clutching his chin. When he lifted his head, he saw Bai Jinzhi holding his head. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Jinzhi ignored her bumped forehead, quickly covered her ears, and stepped back: "I didn’t hear anything either! Go quickly! I didn’t see you!"

Lu Yuanpeng: "..."

Lu Yuanpeng ignored his sore chin, gave Bai Jinzhi a thumbs-up, and without saying a word, quickly ran in the previous direction.

As Lu Yuanpeng walked away, Bai Jinzhi, clutching her head again, only felt that Lu Yuanpeng’s chin must be made of iron.

The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were well aware they were here stirring up trouble unreasonably. Nevertheless, during the dispute with Zhou over Yunjing, they claimed it was the Bai army that rushed to open the city gates for the Yan army, instead of the Yan army begging the Bai army.

Just as Cheng Yuanzhi took Lu Yuanpeng away, the rowdy Yan Kingdom soldiers quickly calmed down, feeling deeply regretful. Remembering how Zhou had divided much of the war spoils with Yan in the past, they felt utterly ashamed.

Moreover, this time, the younger brother of the Emperor of Zhou was captured alive due to the betrayal by a Yan Kingdom General, which led to General Bai being caught.

Despite this, during the joint attack by both nations, the Bai army still allocated troops to open the east city gate for them. The Bai army bodies under the east city gate winch were witnessed by them, not without shock. How could they utter such words?

Soon, a soldier who argued with Lu Yuanpeng saw him returning forcefully. He pursed his lips and approached, before Lu Yuanpeng could start scolding, the young Yan officer made a deep bow toward Lu Yuanpeng: "Sorry, esteemed General! It was my fault for the argument getting out of hand earlier. I was just about to find you and apologize."

What’s happening?

Lu Yuanpeng came to fight, but why was the Yan army apologizing so suddenly with bows?

After apologizing, the young Yan officer continued: "Actually, everyone in Yan knows that General Bai of the Bai army was captured alive because we betrayed Zhou. All of us in Yan feel deeply ashamed, after all... Zhou treats us, a vassal state, very generously! Earlier, I was just... just..."

The young Yan officer couldn’t continue, so he bowed again toward Lu Yuanpeng: "Esteemed General, whether Yunjing belongs to Yan or Zhou in the end, it’s up to the Emperor of Zhou and the Emperor of Yan to decide. We’re just the underlings, and even if we argue here endlessly, our words don’t count!"

"I disagree with you. Yunjing was conquered by us in Zhou, so it’s ours! Any spoils previously given by our Emperor were just granted, but it can’t always be us Zhou conceding to you! I’m telling you... We Zhou won’t concede Yunjing!" Lu Yuanpeng’s stubborn temper rose, rejecting compromise.

The apologetic young Yan officer fired back: "It’s not up to a small Zhou officer like you to decide whether to concede or not!"

"My words count! My old man is Commandant Lu of Zhou! I’ll write to him right away, declaring that we Zhou will never concede Yunjing!" Lu Yuanpeng, who originally came to fight, turned and left.
