Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Xiangcheng is located in a barren area, and it can only be developed stably after capturing Yaozhou. More importantly, there is a pass and fortress between the two cities. If the army from the north invades, they can only bypass it or launch a direct attack.

Yao Feiran listened as they discussed tactics using the sand table.

Reversal of Fate Beads: "Many people in this military camp have lost their luck; something will happen tonight."

If the life force is cut off, isn't that death? What kind of accident could cause such a large number of deaths in an entire military camp?

Yao Feiran, her expression unchanged, interrupted them: "Marshal Wang, are you sure the Yaozhou army will attack tomorrow?"

There were other generals beside Wang Yifeng, including Zhao Yue, who was Zhao Hu's uncle. Zhao Hu had long harbored resentment towards Yao Feiran after Zhao Hu was deposed.

"How dare you interrupt the generals' conversation and question Marshal Wang!"

Yao Feiran continued, "According to the scouts, they'll arrive tomorrow. But what if they speed up and know where we're camping, and launch a surprise attack tonight while we're off guard?"

The probability of this happening is actually very small, but if it does happen, the consequences would be unbearable.

After thinking for a moment, You Li said, "Yao Feiran is right. This possibility is not impossible. Why don't we all lie in ambush? Maybe we can catch them off guard."

Zhao Yue retorted, "What if they don't come? If the soldiers don't get proper rest, it will affect the battle tomorrow."

Others chimed in, "What General Zhao said makes sense. If the soldiers are on high alert all night, won't they lack spirit when they go to the battlefield tomorrow?"

The two sides started arguing, and Wang Yifeng also looked troubled.

Yao Feiran's statement was merely a guess, lacking any substantial evidence. Even if they didn't believe her, there was nothing they could do. Since she had already spoken, she had a clear conscience, and she could only be more careful herself.

In the end, Wang Yifeng could only increase patrols while the others rested normally.

After Yao Feiran left the tent, Zhao Yue followed her, his eyes filled with malice: "Don't think that just because you've gotten close to Marshal Wang, you can act with impunity. You'd better not let me find any fault with you, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

"Idiot!"

In men's eyes, the only way for a woman to get ahead is to seduce men.

Enraged, Zhao Yue drew his sword and slashed at Yao Feiran. Just then, You Li stepped out and shouted, "Zhao Yue! What do you think you're doing?"

Zhao Yue slowly sheathed his sword, his eyes filled with provocation as he looked at Yao Feiran: "Marshal You, I only wish to spar with Commander Yao. Rumor has it that even you are no match for her, and I am quite interested as well."

"That's enough! Go back now."

You Li looked at Zhao Yue with a headache. If it weren't for Zhao Yue, Zhao Hu wouldn't have been so arrogant. The main reason Zhao Hu was crippled was Zhao Yue's indulgence.

At night, Yao Feiran kept her knife with her at all times, lying down with her eyes closed to rest.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, "Get up, everyone! There's an enemy attack!"

The military doctor woke up groggily and, upon hearing the words "enemy attack," hurriedly tidied himself up. Then, the sound of bugles rang out outside.

Rockets rained down from the sky.

Flames quickly broke out in the camp, and the two sides began to fight, the noise growing louder and louder with the flames.

Yao Feiran rushed out of the tent with a knife in her hand, just in time to see Wang Yifeng standing in front directing the battle.

"How's Zhao Yue's luck?"

"It's alright, he shouldn't die."

If he can't die, then let him die. She knew from the look in Zhao Yue's eyes that the two were now irreconcilably at odds because of Zhao Hu.

A hail of arrows rained down, and many people lay in pools of blood. Yao Feiran deflected many of the arrows, and some of the more timid people began to hide behind her.

Seeing that she was still fighting bravely, Wang Yifeng quickly said, "Feiran, you should leave with us quickly. As long as you're alive, you can always fight again."

"Marshal Wang, I will be leaving shortly."

Seeing that Yao Feiran had made up her mind, Wang Yifeng had no choice but to leave.

She saw Zhao Yue escape via another mountain path. Yao Feiran picked up the bow and arrows of the Yaozhou soldier, stood on the watchtower, and drew her bow in the direction Zhao Yue had gone. Three arrows flew swiftly toward Zhao Yue.

The soldiers escorting Zhao Yue away only heard a whooshing sound as they passed by. In an instant, an arrow pierced Zhao Yue's neck, and he died on the spot.

After confirming Zhao Yue's death, Yao Feiran just saw the Yaozhou army rushing towards her, getting closer and closer. Fortunately, she still had arrows in her hand, so she shot at the soldiers dressed differently. After using up her last arrows, she fled to the rear.

Behind the military camp were mountains and forests. You Li had given her a map beforehand, and Yao Feiran walked several kilometers overnight before finally returning to Xiangcheng.

Upon learning of Yao Feiran's return, Wang Yifeng sent someone to summon her.

She took the acupuncture needles to the Marshal's Mansion. Wang Yifeng was still somewhat weak at this time. Yao Feiran had someone brew some herbal medicine and then inserted a few needles into his head. Wang Yifeng's weak complexion quickly recovered.

"Sigh, I should have believed you. I didn't expect them to actually attack the camp overnight, catching us completely off guard. Luckily, we discovered it early and avoided irreparable damage."

However, his slinking back still infuriated Wang Yifeng.

You Li rushed in: "Marshal Wang, I have good news and bad news."

Wang Yifeng said impatiently, "At a time like this, why are you still playing riddles?"

"The good news is that Zhu Xinghong, the commander of the Yaozhou army, was shot and killed on the spot, and the troops have now retreated."

"Great, that's wonderful."

Wang Yifeng's eyes gleamed with excitement. Zhu Xinghong was the younger brother of the leader of Yaozhou. That guy was brave and skilled in battle, and it was estimated that he was the one who orchestrated this operation. In the end, he was shot and killed. The other side lost a great general.

"There's another piece of bad news: Zhao Yue was also shot and killed. Neither side has claimed responsibility for the deaths of these two men."

Wang Yifeng sighed softly: "Give them a proper burial. The compensation for the soldiers who died this time should not be less, and their families should be comforted."

"Yes," You Li said with difficulty, "but the money in the treasury is not enough."

Yao Feiran said, "If we don't have money, then we'll borrow it from someone."

The two turned around at the same time: "Who are we borrowing from?"

"I remember that many wealthy businessmen came here to seek refuge. Since they were under the protection of Xiangcheng, it's not unreasonable to ask them to contribute their money."

"You mean the Luo family? They said they had spent all their money on the run."

"Marshal Wang, you are still too kind. They hired so many guards, and dozens of their family members all came to Xiangcheng, dressed in fine silks and satins, with calm expressions on their faces. They don't look like they've spent all their money. Moreover, they only offered a few thousand taels of silver. They clearly look down on you."

Wang Yifeng wasn't annoyed, and said with a smile, "So what do you think?"

"Since they say they've given away all their money, then let them really give it all away." After saying that, Yao Feiran glanced at the smiling Wang Yifeng for no apparent reason, thinking to herself that this guy knows he's going to die young, yet he still looks so cheerful all the time.

"Then I'll discuss it with You Li."

"This subordinate takes his leave."

Yao Feiran took her leave.

Wang Yifeng laughed and said, "This woman is still a bit petty. The Luo family wanted to marry her, but she didn't agree. So the Luo family instructed the matchmaker to ruin her reputation. Now she actually wants to empty the Luo family's assets. Indeed, women and petty people are hard to deal with."

You Li's lips twitched. Marshal Wang even teased Yao Feiran. Could it be that he had taken a liking to her? Thinking of Yao Feiran's fierce appearance, he couldn't help but shudder.
