Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 998

Chapter 998: Chapter 994: Rivers of Blood

Xiao Ruohai tightly gripped the reins, held his breath, and asked Yun Lingzhi with a smile.

"They are descendants of our Yun family, quite shamefully... this is an army modeled after the Bai family’s Huying Camp. If the lord is interested in training people, Yun could introduce you to someone later."

The Bai family guard almost cursed, thinking this was clearly the training method of the Huying Camp. How could the wasteful delicacies of your Yun family train such brave warriors?!

Xiao Ruohai turned his head and gave a signal to the Bai family guard, who nodded in understanding.

Once the group entered the military camp, the Bai family guards dispersed. Yun Lingzhi was about to stop them when he heard Xiao Ruohai say, "Our Zhou Kingdom envoy told the Empress of Xiliang that we’d have a look around this camp, and if there’s nothing... we’ll leave! Since we’re here, Lord Yun, you should reassure us."

Yun Lingzhi thought his father must have made proper arrangements and smiled, agreeing, "Naturally!"

Xiao Ruohai didn’t dismount, and said to Yun Lingzhi, "Then, Lord Yun... bring over all the Yun family members training your Huying Camp, and let me get acquainted with them."

The retired guards from the Bai family’s Huying Camp had a clear objective and headed toward the cliff. Being veterans, once in the training ground... it was obvious who the training General was.

The Bai family guard headed straight towards the training ground on horseback, under the watchful eyes of the Huoyun Army soldiers.

As the sun set, the onset of darkness was swift. The cliff, once a warm orange hue, quickly dulled to the color of tea stains. Only a trace of twilight purple lingered at the very top, while the surrounding dense forest turned colorless, and distant mountains and trees became mere black silhouettes one after another.

Mounted, the Bai family guard spotted someone in a white outfit correcting a row of soldiers holding bamboo swords with their hands. These soldiers were preparing to engage in deadly combat with fierce warriors descending from the cliff. A man dressed in black held a bamboo sword by the hilt with both hands, using it to support himself on the ground. It was clear that he was the General of this training exercise.

"General Guan!" The Bai family guard found the person, felt their eyes welling up, and shouted hoarsely, "Quick, report it, it’s General Guan!"

The General, standing with a bamboo slip in his hand, raised his head at the sound, saw the Bai family guard galloping towards him, and pointed his bamboo sword at them with authority, scolding, "Dismount! Who allowed you to ride so recklessly in the camp?"

"General Guan!" The Bai family guard waited not for the horse to stop, dismounted in a leap, and looked at Guan Zhangning with red eyes, "General Guan, we are here under the orders of the third young master... to bring you home!"

Guan Zhangning looked at those who dismounted and stood not far from him, their eyes red. Dumbfounded, he showed a confused expression, "Who are you people?"

The Bai family guard cupped their fists and saluted Guan Zhangning, "We are all from the retired Bai family’s guard. I am from the retired Huying Camp."

Soon, Xiao Ruohai, upon hearing the news, hastened over, leapt off his horse, and upon seeing Guan Zhangning, his eyes immediately reddened.

Before coming, Xiao Ruohai had hoped... hoped that the one training the Huying Camp here would be the Bai family’s Young General. Though slightly disappointed to see Guan Zhangning, the fact that they found General Guan Zhangning was still good news for the Bai family army and the Bai family.

"General Guan!" Xiao Ruohai dismounted and saluted Guan Zhangning with tears, "I am Xiao Ruohai who once followed the Bai family army’s Vice Commander. I wonder if General Guan remembers me?"

Xiao Ruohai looked up and saw Guan Zhangning cast a puzzled look towards Yun Lingzhi, who had followed him, feeling confused and casting an inquisitive gaze at Yun Lingzhi.

Yun Lingzhi deeply stared at Guan Zhangning, looking very upset, and wondered why his father hadn’t had Yun Lan moved away.

"Second brother?" Guan Zhangning called Yun Lingzhi with a look of confusion.
