I ran very hastily towards the exit of the residence. The Hanfu I used slightly slowed my movements to a step. There is no time to change clothes.
Along the road and corridor leading to the main exit of the residence were seen several soldiers passing by to patrol. Not wanting to spend time fighting I chose to avoid them.
Arriving at the main exit of the residence— spontaneously I hid behind the walls of the corridor because I saw four soldiers guarding the main door of the residence.
Sighing deeply I muttered softly, "Not passable,"
Slightly circulating my vision would be around to try to find another way. Stopped for a moment when I saw a barrier wall that was lower than the surrounding barrier wall there was also near the wall a large stone that should be a residence decoration.
With fast steps and no sound—I approached the wall, keeping my distance straight on the wall.
Before continuing my steps that seem desperate full of confidence. It's good to tear off a little long hanfu skirt that slows me down to step.
'Srett' The sound of tearing is heard. Throw away the rag that has been torn to the ground.
Turned my face slightly to make sure that the four military soldiers guarding the main door of the residence were not disturbed. Thank goodness when I see those who are not disturbed by the sound I have caused, my distance from them is a little far but can still be seen if they turn their faces.
Take a deep breath once more to prepare. Then I muttered softly to count down and encouraged myself,
"spirit. 3.2.1.."
I galloped towards the wall in front of me and then both my legs climbed onto a large rock that should have been the decoration of the residence. Jumping high with the help of a large rock that I climbed into the walls of the residence.
I can feel the wind around my body.
'Hap.Hap.Tap.' My steps seem light and quite stable, also the sound caused does not sound loud.
When I had set my legs on the wall, I sat myself on the wall instead of jumping down.
Honestly, it's exhausting but it's fun trying to lighten the body like in a colossal drama!
"It's so tired" I rubbed the sweat running down my forehead with my sleeves.
Suddenly I remembered something. Very foolish and careless, I patted my own eel hard enough.how could I forget that I needed a horse to head towards the east gate. There was no way I could run using my two legs, there I could faint first before reaching the east gate.
Unable to return to the residence just to retrieve a horse because the west gate had been attacked, perhaps a surprising event also occurred in the east gate. I must take back General Nanbao Tribe first in order to stop their invasion.
I quickly jumped down from the top of the barrier wall with a very stable landing.
Very grateful for the agility of Baijin Hu who was then accidentally absorbed by me. Now Baijin Hu and Lao Yong's specialties are inherent in me and have been trained for five months.
Run quickly to the East of Ping'an City. The streets in Ping'an City were very quiet and quiet, not a hint of people who were usually very crowded passed by on this road. It is certain that the residents of Ping'an City are taking refuge and praying in their homes.
I ran a few meters, my breath was hunting and my heart was beating very fast.
"Haahh, not strong anymore." Xiu Qixuan said, Stopping the steps with a lowered posture holding both knees.
I saw a shop building with a slightly open door there was someone inside the store. I quickly approached the store intending to borrow the store owner's horse. I firmly believe that the owner of the store has a horse to use as a means of transportation after all the store is not a small shop must have a little wealth to buy a horse.
Moments later I pulled a horse out of the store, the shopkeeper agreed to my request as I displayed the Xiu Residence plaque.
Riding on the horse and sitting on the saddle with a very careful movement, a touch of anxious expression may have been on my face. Actually I am not very good at riding horses but I have trained with Xiu Jierui or Xiu Huanran several times.
Just now I was about to race the horse by pulling the reins in my arms to immediately run towards the east of the city but a man dressed in military clothes riding a horse from the front came to me— made me reflect speechless waiting for a man it got right in front of me.
"XuanXuan, why are you here?! You're Crazy! What the hell are you doing? hurry back!" Xiao Taoli shouted furiously and anxiously at me being outside unattended when the situation was not good.
"TaoTao, why are you here?" I asked not to pay attention to the words previously thrown by him.
Because Xiao Taoli should have helped Xiu Haocun and Xiu Jierui at the city defense door. It's been a long time that the man has been in the military camp with my permission to let him go.
"I came back because the General ordered me to take care of you and Mrs Yao. Sure enough I should be watching you more" he replied
"What are you going to do?" Continue to pull the horse harness he was riding to step closer to me who was also on the saddle of the horse.
I explained my analysis with a real flash of anxious emotion and Xiao Taoli was silent listening to my explanation.
"I will accompany you to the East Gate" he said at the end of my explanation.
I just wanted to answer but the drums of war that echoed once again rang loudly now that the drums of war were anchored from the east of the city.
"There's no time left, now it's proven my analyst is right. TaoTao, I order you to bring in a relief force for the east gate because you have the authority to use the troops." My orders are firm and indisputable.
Xiao Taoli only froze for a few moments looking at me with a look of admiration. Cih, this brat can still he be fascinated with me in emergency situations.
"Hurry up and do your job!" My shout resuscitated it then I quickly spurred this horse I borrowed to run.
I believe Xiao Taoli understands and obeys my orders because only he can report the situation of the east gate and bring in reinforcements. Xiao Taoli's status in the military camp was indeed not very high but he was not just a low-ranked ordinary soldier.
Now all I have to do is find General Nanbao's forces in the eastern city.
POV END'S.
*****
On the streets towards the East of Ping'an City that looked very quiet and desolate but an unavoidable riot occurred at the gate that became a fortress.
Arriving there Xiu Qixuan looked up at his face and saw the military soldiers guarding the east fall from the top of the defense fortress. Several feather arrows flew through the bodies of the knights above the fortress.
Xiu Qixuan pulled the reins of her horse to step back as an arrow pointed at her.
The girl was stunned to see the arrow pointing at her stuck on the ground, her gaze trembling slightly as she looked at the body that was falling down with blood.
The gate was still closed and defensible but it might be some time later that the door would be breached by the Nanbao Tribe's forces.
Xiu Qixuan pulled the reins of his horse to turn the horse towards the west of the city when he accidentally saw a thick plume of smoke coming from the west of the city, His Father and First Brother might not be able to quickly send reinforcements for the east gate as the west gate was also in chaos.
The north and south gates were not attacked directly but they were unable to loosen the defenses there by reducing the number of soldiers guarding. Can only be left assistance from the west gate otherwise—maybe the east gate will collapse. The reinforcements from the capital did not arrive. Though Xiu Jierui had already given news of the imperial palace.
Sighing deeply Xiu Qixuan raised one of his arms to take out his weapon, the Golden Fan that changed shape into a Sword.
Circulating his sharp eyesight to look for someone whose goal came to this place.
Pulling a horse harness with one of his empty hands to step through several buildings.
Hola! he looked at To Mu's shoulder from behind a pillar of a seedy building, he knew that it was To Mu because the man was dressed as a military commander.
He quickly drove his horse towards the abandoned building.
There were four adult men and one middle-aged man, and of course To Mu who was sitting on the ground and leaning in a circle withstood the pain of his stomach that was bleeding.
The men were surprised to see a beautiful girl approaching them riding her horse in a precarious situation as the war was going on at the eastern defensive door.
"The important general of the Nanbao Tribe, We did not entertain you well which made you remain silent in the slums like this." Asked Xiu Qixuan with a haughty smile from on his horse.
The girl looked at a middle-aged man dressed as a military prisoner. Occasionally Xiu Qixuan looked at To Mu to ascertain the state of the man.
"A young Miss came to war with such confidence. Don't be afraid of hundreds of arrows piercing through your body that will be released by our brother out there." An adult man no less haughty, said the man standing beside the General of the Nanbao Tribe.
His friends who heard the man's words laughed to mock Xiu Qixuan. But the girl remained calm and unprovoked. It wasn't Xiu Qixuan's name if it was easily provoked.
"Who are you?" Asked the Nanbao Tribe General ferociously.
Xiu Qixuan did not answer—he took out the Xiu Residence plaque with a very haughty gesture.
Those who saw it and were speechless frozen for a while then glanced at each other giving codes to immediately attack Xiu Qixuan.
"Nona—" Call To Mu softly looked up at the girl he knew so well.
But Xiu Qixuan was just silent disregarding To Mu's call which gave him an anxious look.
The four men formed a circle to surround Xiu Qixuan from all directions. While the middle-aged man whose incident was General of the Nanbao Tribe just kept silent watching— did not join the fight, he was very confident that his person could quickly defeat Xiu Qixuan.
One of the men from the right side first attacked Xiu Qixuan with his large, curved-shaped sharp weapon.
Xiu Qixuan fended off the attack and jumped down from his horse, putting up a movement of preparing to fight. Then he said, "You guys look so low attacking a girl simultaneously," To provoke them.
"Don't say much" said one of them attacking blindly.
Xiu Qixuan had already reached the middle level of Xitian science, no doubt he was so confident in replying and attacking the people of the Nanbao Tribe.
'Shelves' One by one the bodies of the four men fell on the ground. They only fainted and were lightly injured. Xiu Qixuan had not the heart to kill.
"General, are you next?" Xiu Qixuan asked with a haughty expression.
"You—You. Where did you learn the Martial Arts of the Xitian Sect? Are you one of the surviving students?" Asked Tribe General Nanbao wildly, he was very surprised to find himself unwary and instead walked over to Xiu Qixuan.
Xiu Qixuan simply kept quiet and remained calm. Was this General of the Nanbao Tribe eyeing the Xitian Sect's Martial Arts book as well? But why is there something strange about the second question he asked. This person did look surprised and also like someone who knew very well about the Xitian Sect. Was he one of the people of the Xitian Sect?
"You're negligent, General. How can you lose control and let go of the vigilance in front of your enemy" Xiu Qixuan said, keeping the general's movements locked with his sword.
"Haha, you're right. How could I be defeated with one lock-in move from a little girl." Said the general laughing loudly and then elbowing and kicking Xiu Qixuan's body behind his body.
The general was not afraid of Xiu Qixuan's sword tearing his neck, he fought back and caused a slight scratch on his neck.
Xiu Qixuan was surprised by the counterattack, her body slightly retreated and almost fell down but then she jumped up and attacked back.
Their fight was quite fierce this General of the Nanbao Tribe was not easy to defeat, and one thing Xiu Qixuan got from this fight was that it was certain that the General of the Nanbao Tribe had some ties to the Xitian Sect. This person can use the basic knowledge of Xitian and combined with the sword style of the Nanbao Tribe.
Repel. Assaulting.
It lasted quite a long time and their breaths were both chasing fatigue. No one was injured among them other than the previous scar on the general's neck.
'Can't go on like this, ' murmured Xiu Qixuan inwardly.
Amidst the fight unbeknownst to his enemy, Xiu Qixuan took out a cloth bag with his shirt inside the bag with white powder.
When the powder hits a person, the person's muscles and body will be paralyzed for four hours. Xiu Qixuan got it from Qiaofeng's relics. He always carries it in case of unpredictable situations by him.
While fending off the attack of the great general who was pointing at his stomach, now his turn to attack Xiu Qixuan dropped his sword made the general speechless looking at him in confusion, quickly Xiu Qixuan threw the powder at the general.
'Brakk' The body of the general of the Nanbao Tribe fell and lay on the ground.
"The effect is very fast," muttered Xiu Qixuan stepped towards the general who glared at him sinisterly. "I'm sorry, just calm down in a few hours you'll recover. I'm a good girl that can't kill you" he said, then lifted and dragged the general's body to bring him near To Mu who had been silent watching his fight anxiously. Xiu Qixuan did not look troubled when moving the body of the general, his strength was quite large because of the help of the power of Lao Yong attached to him.
"You're okay?" Xiu Qixuan asked crouching in front of To Mu.
"I'm doing fine. Is Miss hurt?" Tanya To Mu who looked down was a little embarrassed for just this time interacting closely with Big Miss Xiu.
"Look at yourself, I'm very good. Why are you looking down is anyone sick?" Xiu Qixuan's words shifted her gaze to the wound on To Mu's stomach that continued to bleed.
"To Mu," His call made To Mu reflexively look up at Xiu Qixuan.
"I need you to defend the eastern fortress," Xiu Qixuan said lifting one of his arms and sticking his palm on To Mu's forehead.
To Mu was frozen silent but he felt something warm and comfortable flowing down his body making him close both of his eyelids.
Xiu Qixuan gave a hint of his life aura to heal To Mu. The girl needed a recovered To Mu to help her above the east defense door.
A faint light was seen from To Mu's body and slowly disappeared. Xiu Qixuan pulled back her arm away. He breathed a sigh of relief as he was now able to control the power of life aura.
To Mu opened his eyelids looking at Xiu Qixuan with a puzzled look as he did not know what was happening. While holding his stomach and not feeling any pain, To Mu instead hit his stomach to confirm his wound.
'Bukk' The sound of a punch was heard.
"Hey, what are you doing? Quickly bring the man's body up to the fortress, we don't have time anymore." Order Xiu Qixuan and stand up.
"Nona—" Call To Mu in confusion but he still stood up.
"That's a secret between the two of us. I hope you get back at me by keeping it tight." Xiu Qixuan said in a low voice but her sight was full of threats.
To Mu nodded in understanding and uttered his vow, then he propped up and carried the body of General of the Nanbao Tribe towards the top of the eastern defensive fortress with Xiu Qixuan walking in front of them.
As Xiu Qixuan healed To Mu, the body of the Nanbao Tribe General was facing the opposite direction from them making the General only hear their conversation but not know anything about it.
*******
As he set foot on Xiu Qixuan's defensive fortifications he could see Chaos, Moans, Shouts, Soldiers running in erratic directions with their respective weapons and Blood flowing on the ground from all directions.
Xiu Qixuan had already prepared her mentally but still her legs were limp to step up.
"Miss, are you okay?" Tanya To Mu looked at Xiu Qixuan frozen silent.
"That's okay" replied Xiu Qixuan briefly continuing his steps towards the central position of the fortress to be clearly visible to the Nanbao Forces who were being brought there.
When they arrived there, they saw a military commander approaching and greeting them.
"Commander To Mu. Has the reinforcements arrived? Nanbao's forces cannot be underestimated as half of the soldiers guarding the east gate are already dead." His words worriedly and worriedly focused only on To Mu. He forgot that To Mu was previously rumored to be a hostage to escaped criminals.
"Commander Wei, I brought this villain on the orders of Big Miss Xiu who managed to recapture him." Said To Mu telling the identity of the girl next to him.
Commander Wei was jolted at this remark that his comrade had made.
"I salute Big Miss Xiu," he said saluting with the posture of a soldier.
Xiu Qixuan countered by bowing her body slightly. Then he said, "Commander Wei, let me speak to the Nanbao Army down there."
Xiu Qixuan wanted to stand in the middle position of the fortress facing and be seen directly by the Nanbao Forces, should the place only be occupied by a Commander or General to command his troops and face his enemy.
From the tone that the girl used, she did not seem to make any questions to ask permission but she was impressed to tell Commander Wei about the thing that she wanted to do.
Commander Wei was silent his eyes were at odds with To Mu's two eyes which gave a code so that he would not refute Xiu Qixuan's remarks.
"of course. Please Miss, be careful." Commander Wei replied, allowing Xiu Qixuan to step up.
"Thank You." Said Xiu Qixuan, before she stepped herself first giving instructions to To Mu.
"To Mu, follow me. Take out your sword and point it at the guy's neck." Xiu Qixuan's orders were understood and executed by To Mu.
They walked on and when they got to the right position in the middle of the fortress. Seen Nanbao Army Line, there is no cavalry troops among the troops. There were only a lot of archery and sword-wielding troops, then also the troops in charge of climbing the fort and pushing the gate. Already many Nanbao army soldiers had managed to climb the fortress and injure Imperial Soldier Shen with their swords.
Because they had to pass through a deep swamp and a large Cavalry force did not come to attack the east gate.
"Stop the attack or the Shen Empire will not hesitate to directly kill this General of yours," Shouted Xiu Qixuan fiercely making the Nanbao Forces who were preparing to release hundreds of arrows undo their intentions.
"Look carefully! This face—you know him, don't you?" Xiu Qixuan said once again to code To Mu to point his sword closer to the General's neck.
There was a noise down there, the soldiers of the Nanbao Army whispered to each other.
"False information that you deliberately spread is completely useless. One of your attacking strategies is to surprise your opponent by making a rusted sound and then attacking in the east. Come back and learn the art of fighting better, that strategy we have used often." Xiu Qixuan's words provoked them.
"Young Miss who is so proud is not good to interfere in the battlefield," Shouted loudly a handsome man stepped out of the ranks of the troops and could be sure the man was the leader of the forces that attacked the east gate.
"Go back, find a man to marry and you serve." It made the laughter of the Nanbao army sound loud.
"Cihh, handsome but his words are not pleasant to hear." Decih Xiu Qixuan slowly, the girl looked a little annoyed by the man's remark.
"Nona—" Call To Mu resuscitate Xiu Qixuan back.
"Your forces on the west gate have almost been defeated besieged on both sides by reinforcements from the capital Anming. Are you guys here still fighting?" Xiu Qixuan said haughtily.
"Thank God the Capital reinforcements have arrived." Commander Wei's murmur sounded from the side of Xiu Qixuan.
"Commander Wei, I lied. This is one way to break their morale to stop the attack." Whisper Xiu Qixuan slowly to Commander Wei.
Before Commander Wei answered the voice of the man down there intruding on them.
"The whistle of the war is over hasn't rang, don't you think you can fool us. After all how could the Shen Empire send a girl to fight. Is the Shen Empire really short of soldiers," Replied the handsome man who was the leader of the army sharply.
"Yes, that's right. We can't believe it." cried the Nanbao Army soldiers down there.
"The Deputy General has not been seen it is certain that our brother managed to fly west." Continue them with confidence.
Xiu Qixuan froze unintentionally, his eyes were at odds with the man who was the leader of the Nanbao Army. The man smiled wryly with a look of disdain. Xiu Qixuan gave a loud snort back and twisted both of her eyeballs.
Just now Xiu Qixuan wanted to say back, her lips clenched back as a familiar voice rang out loud.
"The Deputy General present led the troops to defend the eastern fortress and retaliated against the criminals." Xiao Taoli's shout roared all over.
Xiu Qixuan turned his face and saw his first brother stepping very authoritatively and showing his haughty face that contained splashes of bloodstains to the Nanbao Army.
"Cihh, very stylish. The bloodstain was most to knock down the morale of the opponent who saw it," muttered Xiu Qixuan slowly guessed right, but she thanked him because his first brother arrived on time.
A moment of silence, reinforcements from the west gate had arrived to form defensive formations in every corner of the fortress. The Shen Empire's fully loaded and fully equipped archery troops returned the previously empty ones as many were killed.
Xiu Jierui turned his face to look at Xiu Qixuan and smiled.
"Good job, Xuan'er." Praise
"Now leave them to me," He continued to twinkle one eye to tease.
Sure enough if there was no Xiu Qixuan, maybe the eastern fortress had fallen in the hands of Nanbao troops.
Xiu Qixuan stalled for time by threatening them and also managed to recapture important criminals.
