"This is already quite generous. Thank you, Lord Tuoba, for giving me the opportunity to serve you in the future."
Tuoba Rouran smiled and shook his head, "Miss Bai should know that capable people are sought after everywhere. I'll be right here, waiting for your triumphant return!"
He raised the wine bowl high and drank it all in one gulp.
Bai Youwei also took a rare sip of this strong liquor called "North Wind's Fierce Breeze".
In Beixuan Prefecture, besides the harsh weather, the fierce north wind is even more infuriating.
One bite and your eyes will well up with tears.
However, Bai Youwei had clearly gotten used to it. After finishing her drink, she smashed the bowl on the ground and smiled as she looked at the man in front of her.
"Then I'll be going."
"Good, may everything go smoothly!"
Bai Youwei mounted her horse cleanly and nimbly, leading a hundred people away from Beiyou City in a grand procession.
As the group disappeared into the distance, Tuoba Rouran's smile slowly faded. The tall, thin man beside her said softly, "Now that they're gone, what should we do?"
Tuoba Rouran did not speak, but turned around and walked step by step into the city gate.
After entering the city gate, Tuoba Rouran slowly spoke.
"Xu Hao".
"Your subordinate is here."
“Send people to keep an eye on their movements. Once they arrive at North Lion Mountain, immediately send a letter to mobilize manpower in the next few days.”
Xu Hao, who was standing to the side, thought for a moment, "Should we close the city gates first...?"
Tuoba Rouran shook her head. "That's too obvious. Do you really think that woman is completely naive? What if she finds out that we've closed the city gates as soon as they leave? She might just turn on us and defect to Beishi Mountain. Although I don't take Xiao Ziyi, that good-for-nothing, and Bai Youwei seriously, they still have some influence. Women are the most cunning; don't underestimate them."
"Yes... I understand. Then we'll wait for their return, and whether we win or lose, we'll apprehend them all on the spot. Whatever charges they face will be up to us..."
"This is truly shifting the blame eastward..."
Tuoba Rouran smiled and strode towards the peaceful Beiyou City.
In the howling north wind, a hundred horses galloped, braving the biting frost, like travelers hastily leaving their homes.
I don't know how long the run took.
Beside Bai Youwei, a middle-aged woman in a tight-fitting outfit couldn't help but speak.
“Miss Bai…we’ll only be at North Lion Mountain for two days, is there any need to rush?”
Bai Youwei answered calmly in the wind.
"This is the first time I've done something for Beiyou City. I don't know how many people are watching, so I naturally have to show my sincerity."
"But Miss Bai, haste makes waste..."
Bai Youwei shook her head, "Speed is of the essence in war."
Thus, the woman named He Ting witnessed the decisiveness of the stunning young girl not far from her.
For two whole days, they traveled day and night, working under the stars and moon.
They led a hundred men without stopping for a moment to a ravine extremely close to North Lion Mountain.
At this moment, Bai Youwei finally stopped and said to the somewhat tired people around her, "Let's set up camp here for now."
Everyone else felt more or less tired, and naturally they didn't hesitate to take a break when given the chance.
But He Ting felt something was wrong. She looked around at the surroundings and frowned as she spoke.
“Miss Bai… this place is quite secluded, but isn’t it too close to North Lion Mountain? We are exhausted now, and if the enemy discovers us first and rushes over, we may be powerless to stop them.”
Bai Youwei glanced at He Ting, then said to He Ting.
"Come to my tent."
Inside the simple tent set up for two, a match was lit, and a pot of meat soup was cooking.
In this environment, nothing is more comforting than a bowl of hot soup.
He Ting hesitated for a moment, but still went into the tent. When she saw Bai Youwei sitting down calmly in front of her without any defenses, she thought for a moment and sat down as well.
“Miss Bai… I understand your desire to serve Lord Tuoba, but you may not know that the brothers outside are all unfortunate. In Lord Tuoba's eyes, they are all minor figures on the margins… If it weren't for this matter, they would be living a life of idleness and waiting to die. But we can't let them die in vain because of this, so Miss Bai, I hope you will carefully consider your next strategy.”
Bai Youwei smiled as she looked at He Ting.
"You think I'm leading you all to your deaths?"
He Ting dared not speak frankly, after all, this young girl's talent was evident, and if the aura she sensed was correct, the other party was already close to the peak of the Dragon Slayer Realm.
"That's not what I meant... I just hope Miss Bai will consider things more carefully..."
Bai Youwei smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, Sister He. You are the only woman here who can speak for me. You also know the people outside better. I can't do without your help, so I'll tell you frankly. Arranging me here is not without consideration, nor is it because I'm eager to make a contribution. It's the result of my careful consideration."
"But……"
"You think they'll find out? Of course, that's exactly what I want them to find out about us."
He Ting was stunned for a moment. "The people of North Lion Mountain are not to be trifled with. Although they were almost driven out of North Nether City like stray dogs, their fighting strength is still there. Xiao Ziyi... is probably no less powerful than Miss Bai. And he is not a stupid person."
Bai Youwei smiled as she looked at He Ting.
"It's alright, smart people are easy to talk to."
"..."
He Ting didn't understand Bai Youwei's meaning, let alone the significance of what she was saying...
They weren't here to "suppress bandits"? The moment they met, the atmosphere was tense, so why bother talking? Do you think they'd stop attacking just because you said something?
and many more……
He Ting suddenly realized something and hurriedly got up, but Bai Youwei was obviously faster.
She felt the girl's fingers swiftly tap her twice, and instantly, He Ting was completely powerless.
She barely managed to open her eyes to see the stunningly beautiful girl who walked up to her.
Bai Youwei smiled and said to herself, "Sister He, take a nap first. By the time you wake up, things will probably be settled. Don't be too angry."
"..."
He Ting wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word; she had truly fallen into a deep sleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes, she was no longer in the tent, but in a wooden house that seemed unfamiliar and could never have appeared here.
The north wind was still howling outside.
As she opened her eyes, the door outside was pushed open.
Bai Youwei walked in confidently, and seeing He Ting's confused look, she smiled and said, "Sister He, you're finally awake."
"Where is this place?"
He Ting asked the first question.
Bai Youwei said softly.
"North Lion Mountain."
"...We...have broken through?"
He Ting could hardly believe it. If it were really true, this girl... was simply a genius.
But her answer was...
"We were invited up here."
Upon hearing this, He Ting's vision nearly went black. PS: It's still out! So happy!
56 This world is not beautiful at all.
Autumn had come to an end, and Wei Tu witnessed the fiery red of the maple leaves once again that year.
It's a real pity that I missed so many opportunities to bloom in my past life.
At this moment, the boy sitting at the entrance of the Medicine King Pavilion was accompanied by a small, fiery red fox.
The two, a human and a fox, were staring blankly at the fiery red maple forest, as if they had lost their souls and consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, the wind rustled through the maple leaves, creating a soft, whispering sound, before Wei Tu finally spoke.
"Do you sit like this when you're not doing anything?"
The little fox shook its head. "How could I be as bored as you?"
Wei Tu wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "So what do you usually do?"
"Let's crawl through holes and catch rabbits!"
You still eat rabbit?
Wei Tu wondered if there were rabbits on the mountain. There were quite a few stray cats, but because of a certain girl's habit, those stray cats became cats that were fed by someone.
Originally, these cats were all concentrated on Xuejian Peak, since there were many girls there who were more compassionate and had more free time than the other men.
They weren't worried about being hungry or cold, but with some of Su Mi's habits, there were now more stray cats on Xiaoyuan Peak, and Wei Tu could often hear cats meowing late at night.
"I won't eat it. If you catch me, let me go."
Why catch it if it's not going to eat it?
"That's funny! You don't eat rabbits, do you? Rabbits are so cute, how can you be so cruel..."
Less than an hour had passed.
The little fox, sitting at the dining table, was moved to tears.
"The braised rabbit is so delicious, waaaah!"
It's so delicious it brings tears to my eyes.
Mu Xitong, who seemed to have just gotten up and was lounging lazily to the side, glanced at the boy and then idly poked at the white rice porridge in her bowl with a spoon.
"Why has Sister Xitong been eating such bland food lately? She even asked me to cook porridge for her."
