This is a simple checkpoint. A small city gate has been built at the exit of the narrow passage. Once the gate is closed, no one can enter or leave.

There were about a hundred people stationed there, so the camp was like a small village, with no outsiders coming, and it was purely a military camp.

The soldiers dug and cultivated the land themselves, much like the Chinese nation's spirit of cultivating wherever they went.

"Your Highness, this place is simple and unrefined, please forgive my lack of hospitality."

Xiao Zhixing shook his head, "I've slept in piles of corpses when I was conquering the grasslands, so it's nothing to worry about."

Bai Zhixian's smile became more genuine. "Your Highness defeated the Northern Barbarians so badly at Guixiong Pass that I admire you greatly."

Xiao Zhixing smiled and introduced Mu Wan and the others to him. Afterwards, they set up camp and rested on the spot.

Before long, the Heroines Army and Xiao Family Army, totaling a thousand men, became one with Bai Family Border Army.

Xiao Zhixing and Mu Wan strolled around casually.

Standing before the narrow gorge, gazing at the bottomless canyon beyond.

"The narrowest part can only allow one person to pass at a time," Mu Wan exclaimed. "A natural fortress."

Xiao Zhixing looked up at the steep cliff that was a thousand meters high.

Mu Wan looked up, puzzled, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

It's a straight drop of two thousand feet here; even birds would slip and fall if they landed there.

Xiao Zhixing shook his head. "It's nothing. Come on, go back and get some rest. I'll return tomorrow. You'll need to lead them on the road ahead."

Mu Wan nodded. This had been discussed beforehand; she would strengthen the Women's Army in Xia Prefecture.

We can't let them go in Beizhou; it would be too conspicuous.

Nothing was said that night.

Early in the morning, after having breakfast, Xiao Zhixing bid farewell to Mu Wan and the others, saying, "It may be three years before we meet again. I wish you all good health and great success."

"We bid farewell to Your Highness!" Mu Wan led the female soldiers to kneel on one knee.

Xiao Zhixing smiled as he surveyed the radiant girls with slightly reddened eyes. "Let's go. I'll see you off."

Mu Wan's eyes welled up with tears. She mounted her horse and said, "Your Highness, I will certainly live up to your expectations. Please check on me in three years!"

Xiao Zhixing cupped his hands in greeting, "I'll be waiting."

"drive!"

Xiao Zhixing and the others could no longer see them before bidding farewell to Bai Zhixian. "Please convey my apologies to Governor Bai. The affairs of Beizhou are complicated, and I must return immediately. I will visit Governor Bai again next time."

The Bai family and Bai Fengmei's family were originally from the same lineage, but now their blood ties are quite distant.

Bai Zhixian cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness, this humble general respectfully sees you off."

Xiao Zhixing then led his more than a thousand men back, intending to travel east along the mountains in northern Mengzhou back to Beizhou, and join up with the 20,000 Xiao family troops along the way.

However, the mountain road was difficult to travel, and before they had gone ten miles, Black Tiger returned.

Bai Mei exclaimed in shock, "Black Tiger... has someone in its mouth?!"

Xiao Zhixing's eyes flickered slightly in surprise. "What?"

Black Tiger seemed to have gotten tired of carrying the man, so it dropped him and roared at them.

Xiao Zhixing dismounted and walked over, his face full of surprise. "Black Tiger, did you save someone?"

Bai Mei had already turned the man over, then frowned and whispered, "Your Highness!"

Why does this person look so familiar to her?

Xiao Zhixing squatted down to examine it closely, frowning as well. "Why does it look so similar?"

Bai Mei also squatted down to examine it closely, somewhat incredulous, "It's too similar, it's practically the same person, how could this be?!"

Her head was cut off by the prince; she saw it with her own eyes, and she personally handled both the head and the body.

How can a person come back to life?

Xiao Zhixing said, "Now that you've revived him, I'd like to see who this person really is."

The viewers in the live stream were also confused.

[Red comment: What does this mean? What's so special about this person?]

[Green comment: We're certain we haven't seen him in the live stream.]

[Yellow comment: Hmm, no, no, I think it looks familiar too.]

[Yellow comment: Holy crap, is this the person?] Someone posted a screenshot.

It immediately evoked distant memories for everyone.

[Yellow comment: Oh my god, it's exactly the same!!]

[Yellow comment: Holy crap, I'm getting chills down my spine, did I see a ghost in broad daylight?!]

[Yellow comment: Waaaaah, I'm so scared I'm hiding under the covers, trembling.]

[Red comments: Wait, what do you mean? Who is this person?]

[Green comment: Self-reliance, I went to watch the replay, damn, it was terrifying.]

on site.

Bai Mei, Mo Mei, and Ying Er, the only ones who had ever seen that person, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bandage the person immediately.

Bai Mei pried open his wrist, her face slightly pale, and said, "Your Highness, even the scars here are exactly the same..."

She had touched the body and was absolutely certain there was no mistake.

Upon touching his face again, there was no skin mask, nor any signs of alteration.

Tearing open the clothes, the abdominal wound looked so real; it was inflicted by Xiao Zhixing.

Xiao Zhixing's eyes flashed, and he revealed a cold smile. "I don't believe in ghosts and gods. Let's wake him up first."

Because of this unexpected turn of events, they set up camp on the spot and waited for the person to wake up.

There was a lot of discussion about this person in the live stream.

[Yellow comment: Is someone impersonating someone?]

[Yellow comment: Or maybe twins?]

[Red comment: Is it a stand-in?]

[Green comment: Is there really such a similar stunt double?!]

[Yellow comment: Could it really be a resurrection?!]

[Red comment: No, I'm still confused. Who are you talking about? Can someone tell me? Don't try to fool me.]

Everyone ignored this idiot and shivered.

In Xiao Zhixing's mind, Bai Feng was laughing loudly, "Did I do a good job of impersonating him? Hahaha, a complete one-to-one restoration, from the body to the memories, even if the real person came, I could say he's fake, hahaha."
