While Yun Xiao, Tie Qinglan, and the others were resting, Rong Jin also told them about their current situation.

More than two hours ago, Rong Jin received information from the people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Zhou Jingyan was even more dissatisfied with them because of the day’s events. In addition to Yu Jue’s assassination failure, Zhou Jingyan and Xiao Yuqi negotiated and burned their grain. When the grain was burned, they sent troops to Country of Xiyue. It was unexpected and easier to win.

Therefore, they first sent out a team of a thousand people to burn their grain. When they saw the flames ignited by the fire, they knew that the time had come. When all the troops using Country of Xiyue were in the first aid, they sent their troops to catch them off guard.

This strategy was very poisonous, but it was very useful.

If Rong Jin hadn’t received this news earlier, Zhou Jingyan and Xiao Yuqi would have succeeded in their plot.

Fortunately, they had received the news before Zhou Jingyan and the others moved, and they had also thought of a countermeasure as quickly as possible.

Since the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were scheming like this, they decided to catch a turtle in their dreams!

While gathering all the soldiers to discuss the specific details, they sent people to transfer all the grain as quickly as possible, and also packed some firewood in the grain location, so that those people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty would think that the grain was still there and not moved away.

As expected, those people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty were tricked and directly killed, burning all the firewood.

The moment all the firewood was lit, the soldiers of the West Vietnam stepped forward and killed all the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

However, Zhou Jingyan and Xiao Yuqi, who were in Cangzhou City, did not know all of this. All they could see was the burning grain. With this signal, the two of them would order their troops to send out Country of Xiyue!

Right now, everything was moving according to his predicted direction.

However, Rong Jin wasn’t too excited about this. His gentle face didn’t change at this moment, making it impossible to see what he really thought.

However, Rong Jin’s explanation shocked the few people who followed Yun Xiao.

Rong Jin only received the news two hours ago. However, in just a short moment, Rong Jin had already imagined the cause and effect of this plan, as well as the things he needed to think of. It had to be said that Rong Jin’s plan was truly unparalleled in the world.

Tie Qinglan’s eyes widened in surprise. Those eyes involuntarily landed on Yun Xiao’s face. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s expression was still faint, her pair of wellspring-like eyes carried a faint smile.

At this moment, Tie Qinglan finally understood what Yun Xiao meant by letting her watch the show. So, Yun Xiao actually knew Rong Jin’s plan?

Her eyes were filled with disbelief, “Do you know Rong Jin’s plan?”

Yun Xiao only restrained the faint smile in her eyes and whispered, “I originally didn’t know, but after going to the barracks and looking at the burnt grain, I guessed. However, I’m not sure if the matter is as I thought, so I didn’t explain it clearly.”

Tie Qinglan’s eyes were even more shocked. The woman in front of her was clearly a year younger than her. She was actually able to figure out the cause and effect of the matter in just a short moment. No matter what, she could not compare to this kind of mind.

No wonder, her appearance was clearly not exceptional, but there were so many people willing to pay for her, even a man like Rong Xun was deeply trapped in the mud.

Compared to her martial arts, Yun Xiao’s intelligence was like the bright moon in the night sky. She was quiet and charming, making people unable to help but want to explore.

Even he couldn’t help but want to get closer to that indifferent light.

Tie Qinglan retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes. She said softly, “I’m sorry.” This apology was for misunderstanding Yun Xiao earlier.

Yun Xiao only smiled indifferently, and Gujing Wubo’s eyes were filled with a faint smile. “I didn’t blame you. After all, I didn’t explain myself clearly. Now, is Sister Qinglan willing to go to the theater with us?”

Tie Qinglan nodded heavily. At this moment, she could clearly feel the trembling of the ground. Obviously, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were almost close to their location, and even not far from them.

Tie Qinglan couldn’t help but feel her blood boil from the hot-blooded factor hidden in her heart. When she thought of the scene where she could kill her enemies, she was extremely excited.

However, now, she understood one thing. There was nothing good about winning a war with brute force. A good strategy and intelligence was not inferior to martial power at all. There was even a possibility that she could kill all the enemies without spending a single soldier!

She had lived her entire life and had never seen such a scene before!

How could she give up on such a result if she had the chance to see it this time?

Even when she smiled, her eyebrows curved, “Alright,” she secretly decided that she must learn from Yun Xiao in the future. After all, there were many things that could not be solved by relying on brute force alone.

Seeing that Tie Qinglan had finally figured it out, Yun Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tie Qinglan was the only friend she had. She did not hope that Tie Qinglan would misunderstand her.

Rong Jin’s deep eyes swept across Tie Qinglan and Yun Xiao, and he understood what had happened between the two of them. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he said softly, “It’s almost time. Let’s hurry up, or we’ll miss this good show!”

Yun Xiao, Tie Qinglan, and the others naturally had no objections and followed closely behind Rong Jin.

Everyone had a relieved expression on their faces. Naturally, they did not notice Zhou Jingxu, who was walking at the end, and had a strange expression on their faces.

He stared at Yun Xiao and Rong Jin who were walking at the front. His pair of obsidian-like eyes were throbbing. It took a long time before they turned into a long sigh. Today’s incident had also allowed him to fully understand one thing.

The man who could stand beside Yun Xiao was none other than Rong Jin.

The tacit understanding between the two allowed them to understand each other’s thoughts with just a single glance, or with just a small matter. The other was to cooperate with each other with all their might.

This kind of tacit understanding, this kind of emotion, was something he couldn’t compare to no matter what.

There was a trace of envy and blessing in his deep eyes.

The few of them followed behind Rong Jin and found an extremely good location.

Standing on a small hill, they could see all of the hundred thousand troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

…

At this moment, the hundred thousand troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had just arrived at an open space. That place was only three kilometers away from the camp of Country of Xiyue!

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the camp of West Vietnam, the leading general noticed something strange and waved his hand to all the soldiers to stay where they were.

A soldier beside the general asked in confusion, “General, we are about to arrive at the camp in Country of Xiyue. As long as we surround the camp in Country of Xiyue, we will win this battle. Why don’t you leave?” This was also the heartfelt wish of all the soldiers. All of the hundred thousand troops looked at the general sitting at the front, hoping to receive the general’s orders.

Being surrounded by so many soldiers, the general did not show any impatience. He only frowned and looked at the camp in Country of Xiyue. “Something is wrong with the camp in Country of Xiyue.”

After his voice fell, a deputy general immediately asked, “Why is something wrong?”

The general’s brows furrowed as he coldly said, “We are only three miles away from the camp in West Vietnam. Logically speaking, the troops in West Vietnam will not be ignorant of our big commotion. But since they have detected our invasion, why is there no commotion in their camp?”

At the very least, they would also order troops to participate in the battle. In this way, they should be able to sense the movements of Country of Xiyue.

When the general said this, the others also felt this strange atmosphere.

One of the lieutenants frowned and said loudly, “General, since this is the case, why don’t I send someone to the army of West Vietnam to investigate and see what’s going on?”

For the sake of caution, the general naturally agreed with all his heart, “Alright, bring five hundred people to investigate. Quickly return!”

The lieutenant general immediately ordered five hundred soldiers to investigate.

The general sat on his horse and kept looking around.

He always felt that the atmosphere today was too strange. Not only was it strange, even the surrounding woods were strangely quiet.

However, it was this silence that made him feel inexplicably panicked.

The hundred thousand troops suddenly stopped moving. He stayed where he was. Although he was secretly vigilant about the surroundings, he felt that the atmosphere today was really too boring. Therefore, some people couldn’t help but be a little lazy. There were also lieutenants who looked around. Seeing that there was no Eastern Jin in the surroundings, they went to persuade the general that he was thinking too much and attacked West Vietnam earlier. They could return to their jobs as soon as possible.

When the leading general heard what the lieutenant general said, his brows furrowed tightly and he harshly scolded him before the lieutenant general stopped talking.

A quarter of an hour later, the lieutenant general who had gone to inquire about the news had already returned. When he saw the leading general, he immediately bowed respectfully, “General, there is nothing unusual in front of us, nor is there an ambush. There is nothing unusual about Country of Xiyue’s army, but I saw many soldiers going to put out the fire.”

In the confrontation between the two armies, grain was a very important key. When grain was burned and the soldiers of West Vietnam went to put out the fire, this was naturally within reason.

Although the lieutenant general had found out that there was nothing unusual about it, the leading general still felt that there was a bad idea in his heart.

However, when he scanned the surroundings, he saw that many lieutenants had already complained to him. He frowned. Only one of these lieutenants was his confidant, and the remaining lieutenants were either recruited by the Empress or Zhou Jingyan. These lieutenants were all supervisors of his itinerary.

If he delayed any longer, those lieutenants would probably not listen to his orders.

Forced to do so, the leader general could only loudly say, “All soldiers, listen up! Continue forward!”
