“Someone’s watching us.”
Su MO said calmly.
Wei Ting said calmly, “The few southern border people I met on Heavenly
Mountain last time.”
Su MO had heard about their experience of looking for medicine. He asked,
“The people who fought with you for the Snow Domain Hemp?”
Wei Ting picked up a piece of meat for Su Xiaoxiao. “One claims to be the sister of the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness, and the other is a Gu Master. His surname is… Han?”
The sister of the Saintess of the Southern Wilderness seemed to call him Uncle
Han.
The girl’s gaze was a little unfriendly, but the Gu Master beside her did not have much killing intent.
The battle was imminent. If they did not cause trouble, Wei Ting could not be bothered with them for the time being to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao was almost full and asked the shopkeeper to pack one for Qin Canglan. Jing Yi was injured and could not eat anything too greasy at the moment.
The three of them went downstairs and got into the carriage.
The girl glared. “Uncle Han! They left! I’m so angry! I want to kill them! I want revenge! Uncle Han! Uncle Han!”
Uncle Han came back to his senses and looked at the carriage that had walked away. “Miss.”
The girl complained, “Did you hear what I just said? Why are you in a daze? They’ve left! I won’t be able to catch up even if I want to!”
Uncle Han smiled. “I just remembered something.”
The girl muttered unhappily, “Why do you have to think about it at such a critical moment? It wasn’t easy for us to meet them. We should kill them and s.n.a.t.c.h the snow region back!”
Uncle Han said, “They’re riding a carriage from the military camp. They’re from the Imperial Court.”
The young girl was not afraid of anything and did not take the Great Zhou Imperial Court seriously at all. “So what? Can’t we afford to offend the people of the Imperial Court? Don’t forget our goal in coming to the Broken North Pa.s.s!” Uncle Han said to her, “I’ll think of another way to get the herb.”
Actually, they had another motive for coming to the border between the Great Zhou and Northern Yan. That thing was more important than the Snow Domain Hemp.
“What exactly is the thing my sister asked you to find?” the girl suddenly asked.
Uncle Han was stunned.
The girl curled her lips and said, “Don’t think I dont know that you’re looking for something else other than Snow Domain Hemp! If you don’t tell me, I’ll find out sooner or later, unless you can shake me off!”
Uncle Han looked at her stubborn face and sighed helplessly. “It’s a relic of the previous dynasty’s Martial Emperor. It concerns the restoration of our Nanjiang.”
When Su Xiaoxiao and the other two returned to the military camp, the atmosphere in Xiao Duye’s tent was strange. It turned out that the scouts at
“Didn’t you say three days?” Xiao Duye was furious. “There’s less than a day left!”
Qin Canglan sat in the tent with Leng Kui, Leng Zhao, and Leng Hua.
The Leng family remained silent.
Qin Canglan said calmly, “Didn’t General Leng already give us a strategic plan before the compet.i.tion just now? Why don’t we follow the plan?”
Xiao Duye’s mind did not process for a moment. ‘What plan?”
Qin Canglan pointed at the location on the map and said, “Lead your troops to surround Tuoba Lie’s 30,000-strong army first to prevent him and Helian Ye’s 100,000-strong army from attacking us from both sides, causing our army to be attacked from the front and back. A day should be enough. What do you think, General Leng?”
The Leng family had been tricked by Wei Ting. Leng Kui was holding back his anger and said t.i.t for tat, “What can I say? Aren’t you the new commander-in-chief?”
He was starting to give up.
Qin Canglan smiled generously. “I think General Leng’s suggestion is not bad. Let’s fight like this. Since you’re the one who came up with the idea, why don’t you harvest Tuoba Lie’s head? I can’t keep letting my subordinates obtain battle merits. What do you think?”
Leng Kui’s expression darkened.
He wanted him to hit Tuoba Lie so that he would completely fall out with him.
Qin Canglan said to Xiao Duye, “Your Highness, General Leng will lead a 50,000-strong army to kill Tuoba Lie. Su MO and I will bring troops to Broken North Pa.s.s.”
Xiao Duye frowned. “If General Leng takes 50,000 away, would you have enough troops?”
The Crimson Shadow Army had 12,000 soldiers; they had 20,000 who guarded Jia County, 20,000 from the Qin family, and 10,000 of Wei Ting’s “benevolent troops”. In addition to the 5,000 troops that Su MO had brought over from Wan City, there were less than 50,000.
Qin Canglan looked at Leng Kui calmly. “Then, can General Leng defeat Tuoba
Lie with 30,000 troops?”
Leng Zhao slammed the table. “Who are you looking down on!”
“Report…”
A scout came to the outside of the tent.
Leng Kui let him in.
After hearing the scout’s report, Xiao Duye’s expression became even uglier. “Great, General Leng doesn’t have to worry about how many soldiers he will bring to kill Tuoba Lie.”
Tuoba Lie escaped with 30,000 people back to the border of Northern Yan. Xiao Duye said with a headache, “Then go to Broken North Pa.s.s together.” The army had already arrived and had to set off overnight.
The biggest battle finally came. Helian Ye was neither Zhou Lie nor Tuoba Lie.
He was the real Northern Yan Battle G.o.d. Even the former Lord Wu An and Wei Xu had been defeated by him. His appearance was the greatest morale of the Northern Yan soldiers.
Qin Canglan and Su MO brought the army out of the military camp.
After Su Xiaoxiao changed Jing Yi’s dressing, she said to Wei Ting, who was standing at the entrance of the tent and looking up at the army, “Go.” “What?” Wei Ting turned around. “Is it cold? I’ll lower the curtain.”
“I’m not cold,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “Go and kill Helian Ye. I know you’ve always wanted revenge. You stayed because you were worried that the Leng family would scheme against me. Now that the Leng family has left, you don’t have to stay here.”
Wei Ting was silent.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Are vou worried about me? I’m not a pushover. If vou don’t
leave now, you won’t be able to catch up.”
Wei Ting took a step forward and hugged her tightly. “Wait for me to come back!”
He returned to Su Xiaoxiao’s tent, changed into his armor, and rode his horse after the army.
Su Xiaoxiao lowered the curtain, packed the medicine box, and turned off the lights.
When Su Xiaoxiao came out of Jing Yi’s tent, the army in the camp had left. The camp instantly became empty, and only the sound of the wind in the night could be heard.
The tent was pitch-black.
Su Xiaoxiao placed the first aid kit on the table.
Suddenly, a sword stretched out from behind and pressed against her neck.
“You shouldn’t have let Wei Ting go.”
It was Leng Ziling’s voice.
He looked coldly at the hostage sitting in front of him. “My mission was you from the beginning. Although I was schemed against by you and had no choice but to go to Northern Yan, you didn’t expect me to bring you along, right?”
As he spoke, he threw a set of servant’s clothes to the ground.
“Put it on! Follow me!”
The person in front of him had his back facing Leng Ziling. He obediently picked up the clothes and put them on.
The night was too dark. Leng Ziling did not see that this hand was slightly larger than that of an ordinary woman. There was hair on his finger..
