âIf I donât make them bleed today, Iâll write my name backwards.â
Ning Ansheng followed. âTeacher, do you also think that the enemies that suddenly appeared outside the city are related to Xiongnu?â
Dean Lu stroked his beard. âI was already wondering why Xiongnu seemed to be stalling for time. So, heh, Ansheng, guess who it is.â
Ning Ansheng recalled the map carefully and gave a definite answer. âThe n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Southern Barbarian.â
Cheryan, who had suffered under Rong Yan and Xiaoxiao, smiled as soon as he returned to his place.
Ill let you guys be smug for a while. Lets see how the dogs of Great Xia can still be arrogant when the people from the Barbarian Region come!
Chercha, who learned this news, couldnât sit still.
âIdiot!â
âItâs already extremely stupid to collude with the Crown Prince of Great Xia to fake military merits. Now, heâs actually related to the Southern Barbarians!
Heâs even more stupid to ask a tiger for its skin!
How could he have such a brainless younger brother?
âDoes he think that the ambition of the Southern Barbarians is only Great Xia?â Cheryan was also at his residence at this moment. After knowing what his good Second Brother had done, he happily poured himself a glass of wine and enjoyed the jar of pickled vegetables that he had fought hard to snatch back.
âHas the news been sent out?â
The guard punched his chest. âPrince, donât worry!â
Cheryan asked again, âWhat is the Third Prince of Great Xia doing now?â The personal guard did not answer this question accurately. âHe first went to arrange for defenses and soldiers, thenâ¦â
Cheryan asked expectantly, âThen what happened?â
The guard wanted to beat his chest again. âHe disappeared.
Cheryan was speechless.
It was like this. After Rong Yan finished explaining everything to the deputy general, he was pulled to a secluded place by Xiaoxiao.
âRong Yan, I have something to tell you.â
âThis matter concerns why Chercha said that he met me and why I knew that
Chernan imprisoned him.â
Rong Yan patted her hand. âIâve said it before. Thereâs no hurry now. I can wait until you think the time is right.â
Xiaoxiao held his hand. âYes, Iâve thought about it. Now is the most appropriate time.â
âAlthough weâre not afraid of them, it takes time for us to arrange our troops. Why donât I explain while you stall them?â
Rong Yan did not understand. Could these two be done together?
Xiaoxiao looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she winked at Rong Yan. âWatch carefully.â
Rong Yan only felt his body sway slightly, and what he saw was very different from before. Before he could come back to his senses and adapt, he saw a blur again. Xiaoxiaoâs hand was covering his eyes.
âIt might be a little dizzy the first time. Youâd better close your eyes.â
She had thought it through. Instead of being secretive, she would have to use the space inconspicuously. It might even affect the trust between her and Little Big Brother. She might as well lay her cards on the table!
Although she said that, she was actually a little nervous in her heart. She couldnât see any emotions on Little Big Brotherâs face, and she didnât know if he was surprised, frightened, or just frightened.
With a wooden-faced Rong Yan, Xiaoxiao used her space to rush to the vicinity of the Southern Barbarian army and pressed her hand to the ground. âLittle Big Brother, can I dig a pit and bury them?â
Rong Yan looked at her in a daze. Then, he saw Xiaoxiao lying on the ground and digging a hole with a wooden stick. Then, she poked her finger in like a child playing with mud.
Although he looked calm, he was actually in a daze and had lost the ability to think. Basically, he would do whatever Xiaoxiao said. Hence, when Xiaoxiao said âDoneâ, he did not ask further and let her pull him around to hide.
Xiaoxiao said, âNext, we have to think of a way to make them run to these pits quickly and centrally.â
Rong Yan looked at the âtrapâ she was talking about and nodded in a daze. Xiaoxiao felt that it was a little cute. The nervousness and uneasiness hidden in her heart dissipated a lot. She coughed lightly. âThen Iâm going to start. Donât be afraid. Iâm not a demon. I just have a magical treasure.â
Rong Yan nodded without any reaction. He did not let go of Xiaoxiaoâs hand. Then, he saw Xiaoxiao point at the Southern Barbarian Army with her other hand.
It was quite common in the border city, but at this moment, the sandstorm that looked extremely unusual in Rong Yanâs eyes rose from the ground. It was different from its usual weak might. This time, the sandstorm was menacing, scaring the Southern Barbarians, who had never stayed in the desert, into running away from the sandstorm.
They could not stop running and fell into the hole that Xiaoxiao had dug. Xiaoxiao proudly showed off to Rong Yan. âAlthough it looks very normal on the surface, Iâve already dug out that place just now.â
âUnfortunately, my ability is limited and I can only dig up so many. Otherwise, if we bury all these people, our Great Xia soldiers will just have to come and collect their heads.â
They were only here to stall for time. At the same time, Xiaoxiao wanted to explain the use of her space to Rong Yan more vividly. The commander could not leave for too long, so when she saw these Southern Barbarians falling into the pit like dumplings, Xiaoxiao brought Rong Yan back.
Realizing that Little Big Brother was silent the entire time, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take the initiative to speak. âLittle Big Brother Ah Yan, donât you have anything to ask me?â
Rong Yan thought about it seriously for a while and asked, âWill doing this affect you negatively?â
He asked, âWill it hurt?â
He asked, âWill you be sick?â
He also asked, âWill it affect your lifespan or something?â
Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment before she burst out laughing. âI couldnât tell. My Little Big Brother Ah Yan has read a lot of miscellaneous books. Donât worry, as long as itâs not too exaggerated, it wonât affect me.â
Rong Yan immediately grabbed her hand. âLetâs ride back.
Although he did not know where he was, he saw horses in the stables.
Xiaoxiao immediately understood his worry. âDonât worry. This fast way of traveling is a basic function. Itâs like breathing to me. Iâm not tired at all. If I really feel sleepy, I can still rest in the space. Now, I can adjust my speed to 45 times slower. When I wake up, it will only be a moment outside!
Rong Yan instantly thought of a question that had troubled him many times. âHave you used this ability on me and the soldiers recently?
Xiaoxiao chuckled, and Rong Yan knew that he had guessed correctly.
It turned out that Xiaoxiao had done so much for him, everyone, and Great Xia without him knowing.
It was not a good time to chat. When the two of them returned to the border city, Deputy General Yu had already led the soldiers to get ready. Coincidentally, under the lead of Rong Yan, who had just returned, they headed towards the Southern Barbarian soldiers who were much slower than they had expected.
This battle was not as Chernan had expected. Great Xia wasnât thwarted or both sides had suffered equal losses.
Firstly, the sneak attack was directly exposed in front of the people of Great Xia. It had no effect at all. Secondly, for some reason, the Southern Barbarian army was unlucky. Not only did they encounter a rare huge sandstorm, but they also fell into a pit without rhyme or reason. They were injured and sick, and their formation was a mess. When the soldiers of Great Xia arrived, they felt like they were taking advantage of the situation. They killed until their hands went weak and were overjoyed..
