Rong Jin, Rong Xun, and the others did not tell Yun Xiao, Tie Qinglan, and the others about leaving the barracks.

When Yun Xiao and Tie Qinglan asked Rong Jin and Rong Xun where they were going after they left the barracks, the soldiers guarding the gate were unable to say.

As a result, the whereabouts of Rong Jin, Rong Xun, and the others became a mystery!

Yun Xiao always felt that a bad idea surged in her heart. Then, she quickly walked out of the tent and stood in the cold wind. Looking at the place not far away where black smoke was still coming from, her eyes wrinkled tightly.

Rong Jin and the others were nowhere to be found, and the grain in the barracks had been burned. He always felt that no matter how he looked at this matter, it was very strange.

However, at this moment, the things that made Yun Xiao’s headache even more serious also came one after another!

A soldier hurriedly ran towards the direction of the tent. He had an anxious expression on his face. It was obvious that something big was going on. However, when the soldier looked at the tent, he discovered that there was no one in the tent. His expression immediately became even more anxious.

When Yun Xiao saw this, she frowned, “What happened in front of her?”

The soldier immediately bowed to Yun Xiao and then said loudly, “Report to the princess. The troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty came to attack us and sent out 100,000 troops.”

A hundred thousand men! Hearing this, Yun Xiao’s brows furrowed even more tightly!

Now, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had sent people to burn the grain, and on the night the grain was burned, they actually sent troops to attack. This was clearly the plan that the Eastern Jin Dynasty had already drawn up!

But now, Yun Xiao wanted to find Rong Jin, but she didn’t see the whereabouts of Rong Jin and the others!

Especially because of the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yun Xiao could clearly feel the tremors on the ground! The magnitude of the tremor was still getting larger and larger. It was clear that the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were getting closer and closer to them.

Yun Xiao thought for a moment, then said, “Go invite His Highness the ninth prince. Also, pass on my orders, immediately organize and go to battle!”

“Yes,” the soldier agreed and immediately ran out.

Yun Xiao also turned around to leave, but was blocked by Tie Qinglan. Tie Qinglan looked at Yun Xiao anxiously, “Where are you going?”

Yun Xiao frowned, “Wait here first. If you gather the soldiers and immediately lead them to meet the enemy, I’ll go check the situation on the grain side first. If Zhou Jingxu comes, tell him to find a way to withdraw his troops.”

Just looking at the flames and the azure smoke, one could imagine how serious the loss of grain was this time.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao’s expression became even more embarrassed.

Tie Qinglan also knew that the matter was urgent now and did not say anything else. She immediately let go of Yun Xiao’s hand. However, Tie Qinglan was curious about what was the use of Yun Xiao bringing Zhou Jingxu here at this time. Zhou Jingxu was only a teenager. What method could she think of to withdraw her troops?

Yun Xiao brought Liu’er and a few hidden guards to the barracks. She also sent a group of soldiers to search for Rong Jin and the others. It was important to find Rong Jin and the others before the war started.

Previously, they were guarding the city. With the city as a checkpoint, Yun Xiao still had some confidence that she could protect the city. But now, it was different. They did not have a city. In front of them was a flat river. They could only rely on manpower to retreat.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao kept having a headache.

However, Yun Xiao couldn’t think too much about it now, so she could only quickly head to the barracks.

Women were not allowed to enter the barracks. Fortunately, Yun Xiao held a token that Rong Jin had given her earlier. In addition, when she was in Border City, Yun Xiao’s decisiveness was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Yun Xiao’s entry into the barracks was not difficult.

Yun Xiao quickly brought the people she brought along to the grain location. Under this gaze, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but be shocked.

The flames soared into the sky, and all the food was lit up, but no one went forward to put out the fire.

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao only felt as if something was wrong. It was not as she had imagined. She hurriedly asked a captain who was in charge of grain management to come and interrogate her, and what the captain said made Yun Xiao even more shocked.

“Reporting to the princess, these burned things are all firewood, not grain. The Swallow King and the Grand Emperor had brought people to transfer all the grain an hour ago.”

Yun Xiao was secretly shocked. In this way, Rong Jin had already known from the beginning that the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were coming to burn grain? Is that why he transferred all the grain?

If that was the case, wouldn’t it mean that Rong Jin already knew about what had happened tonight?

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao finally felt a little less panicked. “Did the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty come to burn these firewood?” She hadn’t missed out on the messy footsteps among the burning firewood. There were also traces of fights. At that time, there were still a few pools of blood on the ground.

“There are a total of a thousand soldiers from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They have all been ambushed and executed,” said the captain calmly.

Yun Xiao secretly nodded her head. The grain was safe and sound, and she was also transferred. She even ambushed and executed the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. All of these proved that Rong Jin had already made up his mind about tonight’s matter.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to leave the barracks, she heard another piece of news.

An hour ago, when Rong Jin and Rong Xun had someone transfer the grain, they took away 20,000 soldiers. As for where these soldiers went, no one knew.

Yun Xiao frowned, but did not ask further. She immediately left with Liu’er and the hidden guard. When she left the barracks, Yun Xiao saw that all the soldiers were motionless. She had no intention of retaliating against the enemy’s ambush in front of her.

The soldier’s reaction made Yun Xiao even more calm. It seemed that she was overthinking it.

When Yun Xiao returned to the front camp, she happened to encounter Tie Qinglan and Zhou Jingxu, who was on the same side as Tie Qinglan. However, Zhou Jingxu was still sitting in a wheelchair.

When Tie Qinglan saw Yun Xiao coming over, she rushed forward and said guiltily, “Yun Xiao, I don’t have a command talisman. I can’t gather any soldiers, only bring His Highness the Ninth Prince.”

However, after she finished speaking, she realized that Yun Xiao was acting strangely. Yun Xiao’s expression was not anxious, but rather very calm. “Why aren’t you anxious?”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose slightly, and a faint smile appeared in Gu Jingwu’s eyes. “Follow me and go see a good show!”

Tie Qinglan saw the smile on Yun Xiao’s face. She looked at Tie Qinglan as if she was looking at a monster. Now, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were about to attack in front of her. She did not know how Bai Yunxiao could laugh out loud.

However, seeing the confidence in Yun Xiao’s Gujing Wubo eyes, Tie Qinglan could only swallow all the questions in his heart.

Due to her trust in Yun Xiao, Tie Qinglan did not ask anything. Seeing that Zhao Yinyin was pushing Zhou Jingxu along with some instability, she took Zhou Jingxu from Zhao Yinyin’s hand and obediently followed behind Yun Xiao.

The few of them followed Yun Xiao and quickly moved forward. There were already people outside who had prepared their horses.

The few of them rolled over and mounted their horses, while Yun Xiao and Liu’er sat on the same war horse.

Fifteen minutes later, Yun Xiao and the others met up with the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Seeing the hundred thousand troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty marching towards them from afar, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with shock and coldness. Such an unexpected attack in the middle of the night, if they could, this battle would probably be incomparable. They had already lost.

Fortunately, Rong Jin was already prepared.

Thinking of Rong Jin, Yun Xiao unconsciously looked around. Now, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were only five miles away from their tent. How did Rong Jin set up an ambush? Where was Rong Jin now?

Compared to Yun Xiao’s calmness, Tie Qinglan was no longer calm as she looked at the hundred thousand soldiers.

He looked at Yun Xiao with a worried expression. His expression was slightly embarrassed. “Yun Xiao, this is the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Why do you want us to see this? The two armies are about to start a war. We should find Rong Jin and Rong Xun as soon as possible and have them order them to mobilize their troops to fight against the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.” Tie Qinglan was always very enthusiastic about war. When she thought that she was going to fight, Tie Qinglan couldn’t help but be excited and her blood boiled.

Yun Xiao looked in the direction of Tie Qinglan, shook her head and sighed, then said, “Don’t be impatient, watch the show.”

Tie Qinglan frowned and looked at Yun Xiao with a calm expression. “Yun Xiao, now is not the time to play games. If we wait any longer, I’m afraid that the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will take over our city. Do you want to see us lose this battle?”

When she was angry, Yun Xiao only frowned and whispered, “There are some things that may not be true in her eyes.”

Tie Qinglan was even angrier. She turned her head to look at Zhou Jingxu behind her. With an embarrassed expression, she turned to look at Yun Xiao again. “You continue to watch the show here. I’ll go get reinforcements!” She would never see Xi Yue lose this war.

After he finished speaking, he was about to pull the horse back.

Yun Xiao frowned, but she did not stop him.

At this moment, several black shadows suddenly descended from the sky and surrounded Yun Xiao and the others. The weapons in their hands were already facing Yun Xiao and the others, and they were about to go forward and kill them.

Liu’er and a few other hidden guards immediately blocked in front of Yun Xiao and the others and also revealed their weapons.

The two sides confronted each other and were about to make a move. Yun Xiao frowned. If a fight really broke out, this movement would probably disturb the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, it would be very disadvantageous to them.

Yun Xiao frowned as she looked at the black-clothed men in front of her and secretly thought of a way to get rid of them.

At this moment, she suddenly heard Liu ‘Er’s surprised voice, “Is it you?”

The black-clothed man also saw Liu’er. He was slightly stunned for a moment before putting away the sharp sword in his hand. He swept his cold eyes over the hidden guards beside Liu’er and said coldly, “Why are you here?”

When Liu’er saw the acquaintance, she heaved a sigh of relief. When these people appeared, she did not notice them at all. Obviously, these people’s martial arts were better than hers. If they fought, she did not dare to be sure if Yun Xiao would be able to protect them. “I came with the princess. Since you are here, where is master now?”

The black-clothed man glanced at Yun Xiao and the others for a few moments before respectfully saluting in Yun Xiao’s direction. Then, he said, “Princess, please follow this subordinate.”
