Two Months Later
Povs. Xiu Qixuan's
Day after day passed, week after week passed, and month after month passed. Didn't expect me to last this long, including it's been a year since I arrived last summer. And it's more unexpected that I can survive without cell phones and the internet!
Four seasons I never felt before. It was fun, but my day to practice made me unable to relax and enjoy life.
Although I often complain but this slow change is seen in me. My body became lighter and of course more beautiful!
You know before my hair was short, my skin was yellow, and of course I was a little fat because eating good food was one of my hobbies. But during my one year in Mainland Ca Li my body was always changing even without skincare. Aiyaa, what a fortune!
I'm currently at Xiu's residence. This park is used to enjoy its beauty. There is a small bridge and under it there is a fish pond.
I walked to the bridge because I was a little tired of just learning to dance and meyulam with Yao Yunmei—I occupied myself on the bridge barrier, bridge, supporting my cheeks with hands placed on small ornaments that were there then I closed both my eyelids.
The breeze of early summer hit my face gently. Enjoy a little time to relax like this.
Suddenly a voice intruded on me to open my two eyelids again.
"XuanXuan, XuanXuan!" Call out a voice of a girl from a distance so excited, who else if not Xiao Rou.
The girl's steps sounded hurried as if she was being chased by something. His facial expression also looked anxious and panicked.
"What's wrong? Watch how you behave! This isn't Manor Xing. How about Yao Yunmei and Chief Administrator Qi Li see it—you can accept punishment and learn etiquette again." I remember the foolish girl in front of me who was trying to stabilize her breath from running in a hurry.
"Situation is bad, no more!" He quickly pulled one of my arms.
"Wait on! What's the matter exactly?" I threw his arm.
"XuanXuan, we must return first to Manor Hui and I will explain everything." He looked at me with a look of supplication.
I let out a long sigh, "Alright," I replied in agreement.
We continue our steps towards Manor Hui. You must be asking why we should go to Manor Hui where Yao Yunmei and Xiu Jierui live.
Because in Xiu Residence now only live Me and Yao Yunmei. One month ago a severely wounded soldier from Jizhou City brought bad news that hundreds of bar-bar tribe soldiers attacked them and the Governor who ruled Jizhou City was killed. The city of Jizhou was already taken by the Bar-bar Tribe.
Jizhou City was a Great City that became the Southern Border Capital led by a Governor. While Ping'an City includes a small town led by only a Mayor and is still under the auspices of Jizhou City.
The Bar-bar Tribe was located closer to Ping'an City and also the Tribe did not have the ability to attack the Southern Border Capital, Jizhou. How could the Governor who ruled for so many years and possessed military political capabilities that undoubtedly fell easily under the hands of the Bar-bar Tribe.
According to the news that circulated that the Bar-bar Tribe changed leadership and the Tribe already had a name written on their fluttering military banner, Nanbao.
What kind of leader made the Military Soldiers and Tribes that lacked abilities become so powerful that they brought down Jizhou City.
No wonder they had chosen to take down Jizhou City and several other small towns rather than Ping'an City which was located closer to them because Ping'an City had a Great Military General guarding it.
Such a large warrior was why it was not seen in the sight of the Great General as they passed towards Jizhou City it was because the Tribal Leader was quite knowledgeable, they chose to pass through the extreme and dangerous road that is a high cliff of rocks rather than the forest road of Ping'an City.
When Xiu Haocun and Xiu Jierui learned of the news they quickly prepared the soldiers in the Military Camp.
Xiu Haocun rushed quickly towards Jizhou City to retake the Southern Border Capital and a few other small towns. Later Xiu Jierui was in charge of guarding Ping'an City, giving word to the palace which was in the imperial capital and looking for news from several other cities.
Duahari then Xiu Haocun's entourage returned to Ping'an City, the Great General who was my father's status in the Ca Li Land brought a great victory from several small cities captured by the Nanbao Tribe.
But unfortunately it is quite difficult to retake Jizhou City under the leadership of the chief of the tribe of Nanbao, the one good thing they got for recapturing Jizhou from Nanbao's hands was one of the Nanbao Tribe Generals who attacked several other small towns held up by Xiu Haocun and was now in Ping'an City.
Xiu Haocun issued an ultimatum that would decisively kill the important General of the Nanbao Tribe if it did not hand Jizhou back.
From the news that the spy brought that the detained General Xiu Haocun was a very important person for the Nanbao Tribe Leader. Xiu Haocun was confident that the Nanbao Tribe Leader would think twice about attacking.
As for Xiu Huanran, though, that man since five weeks ago before this bad news until the man had already gone to the Mo Empire he said to expand his business but I'm sure it's not just that. Even worse, Ji Gui also went somewhere. My handsome teacher did not tell me his reason and purpose. Did they go together? I don't know either but it seems to be true because their interaction is quite close.
I stepped towards Manor Hui, my task now increasing to guard the four-month-old pregnant Yao Yunmei.
I couldn't bear to ask Xiao Rou, "Has my father and Er'ge having problems?" I asked Xiao Rou.
"More than that, we all have problems." Answer quickly and anxiously.
I stopped my steps and put on a serious expression, "Tell me," I said firmly
"XuanXuan," with complaints in his view.
I stared at him sharply.
"Alright—well. There is news that hundreds of Nanbao Tribe soldiers are heading to Ping'an City and may be arriving soon. The women and children were ordered to take immediate shelter." Clearly worriedly.
"Then?" I asked quietly. Looks very confident indeed. Trust Xiu Jierui and Xiu Haocun for sure.
"Nothing past." Answer it innocently.
"Curtain, stupid." Decihku then continued the steps towards Manor Hui to meet Yao Yunmei.
Arriving at Manor Hui guarded by many soldiers and bodyguards. I immediately entered into Manor Hui's room and did not forget to salute Yao Yunmei.
"Is there any news?" I asked while sipping tea provided on the snack table.
With a nod given Yao Yunmei the special intelligence soldier brought the news quickly explained.
"The villains of the Nanbao Tribe managed to escape due to an unexpected attack exactly where the criminals were being held. Some people dressed in black helped the criminal escape. Military commander To Mu was severely wounded and held captive by them."
"The news of the Nanbao Tribe leaked was brought quickly by our people. That hundreds of Nanbao Tribe soldiers were preparing to pick up the villain from the Western gate and attack Ping'an City in full force from the Western Gate of the City."
"It can be ascertained that the criminal is in the West Gate is waiting for the next action to return to the Nanbao tribe. The Great General and the Deputy General quickly headed for the West Gate and gave special protection there." Evidently
The soldier called the Villain to the General of the Nanbao Tribe because that was the rule. You can't admit a prisoner as a general, can you?
"Special protection?" Much
"Special protection, take a few warriors guarding the East, North and South Gates to keep the defenses of the West Gate stronger." Answer
"Is the same number of soldiers taken from each of the Defense Doors?" I asked about the amount. If it is not balanced it may be fatal for one of the gates that become a fortress.
"No" he answered
"Which part of the soldiers took more?" I asked quickly and a little worried. My feeling is that something is wrong.
"East Gate, because the East Gate is directly adjacent to a swamp that is quite deep and large, with hundreds of Nanbao Tribe Soldiers not possible to attack the East Gate. Jizhou City is located to the west of Ping'an City, the Nanbao tribe soldiers appear from the west." Evidently
I stayed silent for a long time thinking about what might happen. The information from that intelligence soldier made my mind design something else.
Seeing me silent for a long time, Yao Yunmei ordered the intelligence soldier back on duty.
"What are the characteristics of the Nanbao people?" I asked very worriedly
"Their physical bodies are stronger because the place where Suka Nanbao lives is a place with extreme weather and terrain." Yao Yunmei's
"What's wrong with you, Xuan'er?" Yao Yunmei asked looking at me who was currently anxious.
"Can they swim?" I asked him again to answer.
"It's possible, because they have waters directly adjacent to the sea." Answer it once again.
"No May—" I murmured slowly.
My body stiffened and both balls of my eyes widened after getting an answer from what I was thinking.
Lothawat!
Isn't this supposed to be a very predictable war strategy of making a sound in the west and attacking east.
It can be ascertained that the Nanbao Tribe deliberately leaked their plans. Makes it seem as if they are attacking the west gate in full force but actually their goal is to be in the east.
Since the beginning of the Nanbao Tribe has infiltrated the Ping'an City seen from the General of the Nanbao Tribe who can escape because of the help of some people.
General Nanbao Tribe was not at the west gate but was at the east gate waiting to be picked up by his troops!
The east gate will probably fall under the hands of only a few Nanbao troops.
Before I reacted further to explain the situation to Yao Yunmei—the warlords were anchored with quite loud and loud echoes throughout Ping'an City, signaling that the war was ongoing.
I quickly lifted up my long hanfu skirt and then ran out of Manor Hui but the soldiers and bodyguards held me back.
"You dare to stand in my way!" I shouted out loud.
"Miss but things outside are messed up better Miss stay and wait here patiently." Obviously one of the soldiers with a higher rank than the other soldiers, visible from the clothes worn slightly different.
"I already know that the situation is in chaos. It might be more messed up if I don't get out." I tried to convince him.
But this soldier in front of me was looking at me with a strange look, maybe he thought I would make a scene again. Aiyaa, it is not easy to be stamped as a troublemaker.
"Quick Move! Or I won't be disinclined by you anymore" I continued slowly filled with threats.
Yao Yunmei has been calling out to me since but I have no regard for it. I can also hear the footsteps of Xiao Rou and Yao Yunmei getting closer.
The soldier was silent for quite a long time in shock with the threatening aura that came out from within me. I quickly hit him in the face and kicked his stomach away giving him a little way then I ran to lock them all in Manor Hui from the outer door of the manor, of course I did so that they would not chase after me.
"I'm sorry. Take care of Mrs Yao and the baby sister!" I screamed loudly from the outside door.
'Aiyaa, I'm so smart!' My praise smiled slightly and continued my running towards the exit of the Residence.
I can still hear their loud voices calling my name.
