Sisi looked at General Niu and said, "I'm not lying to you. Those people who want to seize the world don't lack soldiers or food right now, and they don't have to risk being cursed by the world by making us give up these cities to help them seize the world."

“They’ll start eyeing us when they run out of soldiers and food.”

“If we don’t agree, some people might join forces with the barbarians to fight against us.”

General Niu wanted to say it was impossible.

But that location was too tempting.

If someone were to collude with the barbarians for that position, then...

They will then be attacked from both sides.

General Niu sighed inwardly. If only everyone put the national interest first.

General Niu looked at Sisi and Lao Hei and asked, "Who do you two think will win?" Since they couldn't stay out of it, they should choose the one most likely to win. Even if he didn't think of himself, he had to think of the people who followed him.

Old Hei didn't care about these things. "I don't know."

Sisi said with certainty, "The Ning family."

"Why?"

Because the only son of the Ning family has been replaced by that treacherous emperor, who is the most cunning and treacherous person in the world.

Sisi walked to the edge of the map and pointed to the first place Ning Yirong occupied, saying, "The Ning family occupied this place first. On the surface, this place doesn't seem like anything special, but the local people are very fierce. The Ning family has recruited many elite soldiers here."

"Then, the Ning family occupied this place. There were three major families here. After the Ning family occupied this place, these three major families naturally became the Ning family's followers."

"Then, the Ning family occupied this place. It's a place that can be attacked or defended at will."

...

Sisi analyzed Ning Yirong's marching route for General Niu. "Every step Ning Yirong takes is purposeful. Having a purpose is normal, but achieving every purpose is impressive. Also, he recruited Mr. Han to his ranks. Do you know who Mr. Han is?"

"I know. Mr. Han knows astronomy from above and geography from below."

"Hmm. If nothing unexpected happens, the world will soon belong to the Ning family."

General Niu also felt that the world would most likely fall to the Ning family. "Tell your godfather about the other families. He's only thinking about how to guard the border."

So you've been eating sand at the border all this time. "Okay."

Sisi then analyzed several other companies for General Niu.

After hearing this, General Niu felt that the Ning family's chances of gaining power had increased by another ten percent. "Then let's pledge our allegiance to the Ning family. They've even given us weapons before."

"Okay. It's fine as long as the three of us know about this."

"...Aren't you going to tell your father and your uncle?"

"I won't say. The more people who know, the easier it is to leak."

That's true. "Then who should we send to contact the Ning family?"

"Old Black, neither you nor I can leave."

General Niu didn't want Old Hei to go. "Can't we find someone else? Who will protect you if Old Hei leaves?"

"You and my uncle and the others."

"All of us combined aren't as good as that black guy."

"Godfather, you're too modest."

"Godfather isn't being modest; he's just self-aware. Why can't we send someone else?"

"No, I trust you and Lao Hei."

"Don't wander off before Old Black comes back."

"good."

That's how it was settled.

Sisi chatted with General Niu for a while before leaving the military camp.

After coming out, Sisi looked at Lao Hei and asked, "When do you want to set off?"

"Are you planning to stay here or go to Ningyuan City?"

“Here. My father and my uncle should also be guarding the city themselves.”

"Then I'll set off tomorrow. After I leave, take all your life-saving gear with you."

"good."

The next day at daybreak, Lao Hei set off.

Sisi took out her little iron armor, hidden weapons, and poisons.

Upon seeing this, Feng Chan asked, "Has Lao Hei gone out?"

"Um."

"So, are we still going to Ningyuan City?"

"I'm not going. I'll wait until Lao Hei comes back."

After Sisi was fully armed, Fengchan touched Sisi's chubby little face. "Is it heavy?"

"It's not heavy. Try hugging it if you don't believe me."

Feng Chan hugged her and confirmed that she hadn't gained much weight. Feng Chan was relieved. "If you're not feeling bad, find somewhere to sit."

"good."

When Twelve was eating breakfast, she noticed that Uncle Hei wasn't there, so she looked at Sisi and asked, "Sister, why isn't Uncle Hei here for breakfast?"

"Your Uncle Hei has gone out."

The adults and older children all looked at Sisi after hearing this.

Yun Qingying was the first to voice everyone's thoughts: "Xiao Liu, how could you let Lao Hei go out? Who will protect you if Lao Hei goes out?"

Sisi repeated the same thing: "General Niu, my father, and my uncle."

Yun Qingying: "How can they be as good as Lao Hei?"

Everyone: That's right! How can they be as good as Old Black?

"Old Hei has something important to do."

Yun Qingying: "Then... then don't go out for a stroll before Lao Hei comes back."

Everyone:

"Yes, don't go out for a stroll before Lao Hei comes back."

"If you get bored at home, we'll play chess with you."

"Yes, we'll play chess with you. Don't you like playing chess?"

"Yes, yes, yes, if we each play two games with you, a day will pass by in no time."

...

Sisi: "..." I'm amazing too, okay?

Since then, Yun Qingying and the others have been playing chess with Sisi every day.

On the other hand, Yun Yuqi waited and waited, but his wife and children did not return.

Yun Yuqi was very depressed.

Yun Yuqi felt that his wife and children would forget about him as soon as they turned around.
