Chapter 2093 The Tibetan Cavalry Camp is Quiet

"Which one to chase? Of course, we won't let any of them go!" Feng Jiuxiao said calmly.

Yuan Zishan said, "Your Heaven-Shaking Bow is powerful, but it can only protect one side. They are escaping in all directions!"

Xiong Mengyan suddenly said, "Young Master Feng, which side will you be responsible for pursuing? The east? The west? Or..."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "I will hunt down the Tibetan monks from the east!"

Xiong Mengyan said, "Then I'll be in charge of chasing after the Tibetan monks from the west!"

Wang Sheng said, "I'll be in charge of the north!"

Duanmu Yan said, "It seems I can only be in charge of the south!"

Chili glanced at Yuan Zishan and saw that she remained silent. She thought to herself, "These guys divided up the loot in just a few words, not even giving our young lady a chance to make a move!" She immediately stood up for her mistress: "You guys have already divided up the target, so which side is my young lady responsible for?"

Xiong Mengyan laughed and said, "Of course, Miss Yuan is in charge of command and coordination from the headquarters! Or do you want to be the commander?"

Chili said, "What the hell is 'commander'?"

Xiong Mengyan said, "Planning strategies and winning battles from afar! It's like being a great general! Miss Yuan is standing at the highest point of Jishi Military City, with the entire city's movements within her sight! If she discovers where the enemy is, she can immediately send a signal, and we can immediately encircle and annihilate them according to the signal. This way, we can ensure that no big fish escapes! Chili Girl, your young lady has the heaviest task. Do you think she has nothing to do?"

Chili asked with some doubt, "Really, young master?" She looked at Feng Jiuxiao.

Feng Jiuxiao immediately nodded and said, "Yes!"

Chili pepper then said sullenly, "That's more like it!"

If anyone dares to neglect the young lady, she'll throw a tantrum!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Zishan, you should stay here and take command. Brother Wang has a flying sword, Brother Duanmu has the Great Compassion Bow, and Miss Xiong has the Seven Absolute Demon Qin. They are all suitable for attacking long-range targets. It would be too tiring for you to chase after the enemy, so there's no need for that!"

Yuan Zishan rolled her eyes at him. "Why waste so much time talking? I'm not stupid! Since Miss Xiong and the others are willing to help, that's perfect. Let's do it this way!"

Feng Jiuxiao immediately felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

He was genuinely worried that Yuan Zishan would turn on him on the spot!
Because these few people finalized the plan to encircle and annihilate the Tibetan monks in just a few words, almost no one consulted Yuan Zishan's opinion! Including Feng Jiuxiao!
Although everyone knows that Xiong Mengyan said those words to Chili earlier only out of good intentions, on the surface she said it was to let Yuan Zishan stay at home and take on the responsibility of command, but in reality she didn't want her to work hard!

They meant well, but they hadn't gotten Yuan Zishan's consent! What if Yuan Zishan contradicted everyone on the spot and insisted on personally fighting the enemy? How would everyone deal with that? It would be better if she went to the east, where Feng Jiuxiao could fight alongside her!
But she's going to the west? Xiong Mengyan now wants to get closer to Yuan Zishan. She'll most likely smile and say, "Let's fight side by side, sisters!" But what if Yuan Zishan rejects her? Wouldn't she lose face?
To everyone's surprise, Yuan Zishan actually agreed with everyone's opinion!

Xiong Mengyan was the most excited!
This means that Yuan Zishan's wariness and rejection of her are no longer so strong!

This is a good sign!

She remembered clearly that in the past, no matter what she said or did, Yuan Zishan would always deny or refute her bluntly!
She would never give her rival even the slightest chance to have unrealistic ambitions! As a result, the two of them once traveled together for many days without exchanging a single word!
But now...

Wang Sheng thought to himself: It's unbelievable that Miss Yuan didn't refute Xiong Mengyan this time! Could it be that Miss Yuan tacitly approved? Impossible... Oh well, whatever, I'll just take it as it comes!
In the eastern sky, the sun finally peeked out with its bright red half, and the entire sky began to brighten!
At the end of East Street, the twenty-odd red-robed monks hidden in a small alley finally began to lose their composure.

A monk with a mole between his eyebrows tentatively asked, "Brother Toba, what are we waiting for here?"

Doba frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait for the cavalry and the demon soldiers to arrive?"

Why wait for them?

"Because this is the Holy One's will!" "Huh? The Holy One's will?"

"And what do you think? Do you think I'm just playing hide-and-seek for no reason?"

"No...no, that's not it! Why haven't they come yet? What if they don't come?"

"The Holy Emperor's decree, how dare they disobey?"

"Who are they? Ruben and Dongdai?"

"Jie'er Lun, the Vanguard Commander of the Grand Army, and the Military Supervisor should all have received the Holy One's decree!"

"Why doesn't His Majesty just issue an edict to Jie'er Lun? Isn't he the highest commander in this city?"

"No way! Jie'er Lun may seem powerful, holding the Tiger Tally, but he can't control the army! All the soldiers only obey the orders of the vanguard commander. Isn't that infuriating? That supervisor is said to cause trouble all the time, spreading rumors of 'inauspicious celestial phenomena' one minute, and drawing blood curses on the grain stacks the next to attract rats the next. He's a complete scoundrel!"

"Is he really that vicious? Could he be a spy sent by an enemy country? If he keeps doing this, Jishi Military City will inevitably be engulfed in a popular uprising sooner or later! Either the weather will turn bad, or a rat infestation will break out, and the people won't have a single day of peace! If they can't survive, why don't they rebel?"

"If this situation continues to deteriorate, I'm afraid a popular uprising might really break out!"

"Then why don't you kill the military supervisor?"

"That guy probably knows that countless people want him dead, so he keeps to himself and doesn't dare to show his face in public!"

"How can he fulfill his duties if he doesn't show his face? He's the military supervisor! If the two armies are at war and the military supervisor disappears, that's a capital offense."

"Just because you can't see him doesn't mean the Holy One can't see him! He will behave extremely diligently in front of the Holy One!"

How much longer do we have to wait?

"Let's wait another half an hour."

What if they still haven't arrived in half an hour?

"That……"

"Senior Brother Doba, what are you hesitating for? Of course, we should take the initiative and attack! The Holy Venerable only ordered the soldiers in the city to make the first move in order to wear down the enemy and minimize our losses. Don't you understand?"

"Of course I understand! Otherwise, why would I have you waiting here?"

"But what if the soldiers don't come? Are we just going to watch those children born under the signs of Yin and Yang be taken away? Once they're taken, it'll be hard to find them again!" If those children are rescued and taken home, their entire families will most likely migrate elsewhere! If they stay here, the children will be kidnapped again sooner or later! Anyway, it's all the same whether we're shepherding or not.
At this moment, the Northwest cavalry camp remained quiet.

The soldiers were fast asleep in their dreams.

It's so cold, who wants to get up early!

Some people are woken up by the urge to urinate but refuse to get out of bed, preferring to hold it in! Because they know that once they get up, they'll never be able to fall back asleep!
Ah-Wang and Ah-Pei were originally on duty last night, but they got so cold in the middle of the night that they crawled back into their own beds to sleep! They dared to go to sleep because they were certain nothing would happen!
This is Jishi Military City! Deep in the heart of Tibet, if the enemy wants to launch a surprise attack here, they will have to forcefully break through the various towns and passes. They definitely won't be able to defeat them within three to five months!

So, they were certain that nothing would happen during the night and decided to get a good night's sleep!
The entire military camp was deathly silent.

Only the sound of snoring rose and fell.
