Yan Xiao was somewhat unconvinced by these words, but upon closer reflection, she realized that if she encountered a Gu poison that even Lou Guyu couldn't resolve, she would really be in trouble.
Although her superpower has reached level three, which is enough to protect herself, healing others is only a matter of a few, and it would be awkward to do more than that.
But if the barbarian army really used poison during their attack, how could only a few people have been affected?
However, if we really listen to the guardian deity and wait for Shen Muzhi to return, then Jiangbei City will probably be in danger.
Putting everything else aside, her soap factory is still in Jiangbei, which is her cash cow.
Yan Xiao frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"Where is Lou Guyu now? How much longer will it take him to reach Jiangbei?"
"It will take at least two days," the guardian replied.
Yan Xiao paused for a moment, glanced in Wei Wuxiu's direction, and then made up her mind.
"Help me scout out the situation of the barbarian army and draw me a map. Including their defenses, find out everything in detail."
The guardian spirit was startled by these words: "What do you want to do? Don't go looking for death!"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to die, find out more. I know what I'm doing."
The guardian knew that Yanxiao was difficult to deal with, and he was also well aware that Yanxiao would never listen to him, so he could only get angry when he was rebuked.
But to survive, he had no choice but to cooperate with Yan Xiao; in the end, he had no choice but to work humbly and pathetically.
"Okay, I'll go investigate for you. You'd better be careful and not risk your life."
"Okay, okay, can you stop nagging about a baby?"
"you······"
The guardian was furious, but knowing he couldn't get anywhere with Yanxiao, he finally shut up, feeling incredibly frustrated.
He is the guardian of this world. He only needs a thought to explore the things in this world. In no time, he drew the blueprints for Yan Xiao and informed him of the current situation in the barbarian army.
The Miao elder did not come in person, but sent two trusted confidants with the Miao king's newly concocted poison.
Meanwhile, the two men were talking to the Barbarian King. They were saying that the amount of poison was limited and could only be used once on a large scale. They urged the Barbarian King to find a way to lure the Jiangbei army out and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
At this moment, the barbarian king only wanted to take Jiangbei City immediately.
When he first arrived, he launched an attack once. It wasn't a test; he genuinely wanted to storm the city. However, he lost many men due to traps, hidden weapons, and crossbow bolts on the city walls, so he reluctantly withdrew and stopped the attack.
He now hopes that the two people sent by the Grand Elder can use Gu poison to help him take over Jiangbei City first.
He believed that as long as he successfully captured Jiangbei City and used the city's people as hostages, Wei Wuxiu would be hesitant to act rashly.
By then, Wei Wuxiu wouldn't be able to ignore the hostages, since many soldiers had relatives living in the city. If he didn't take care of them, he would lose the morale of the army.
Both sides held their own opinions and were unable to persuade each other, resulting in a stalemate.
The guardian deity also mentioned that the Miao elder, though not in the barbarian army, was hiding in a small village outside Jiangbei City, and no one knew what he was up to.
Yan Xiao was also a little confused after receiving the news, so she asked the guardian to pay more attention. After carefully looking at the blueprints, she went directly to Wei Wuxiu.
Seeing her approach, Wei Wuxiu immediately took two steps forward to greet her. Worried that Yan Xiao might do something inappropriate, he proactively said:
“Sister-in-law, I feel something is wrong. I’ll send someone to investigate before making any plans. If we rush in now, we might fall into a trap. If we get trapped, Jiangbei City and its people will be in danger.”
Yan Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Brother Wei is farsighted and makes a lot of sense."
Wei Wuxiu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, but before he could fully relax, Yan Xiao continued:
"However, I have something important to do now, and I need Brother Wei to help me divert the barbarian army's attention."
"You, sister-in-law, what are you trying to do now?"
Wei Wuxiu was sweating profusely, and with a furrowed brow, he earnestly advised:
"Sister-in-law, the situation is unclear right now, and danger could appear at any time. You must not do anything dangerous."
"Mu Zhi isn't here now, so I have to take good care of you for her. If anything happens to you, how can I face Mu Zhi?"
He smiled dismissively.
"Brother Wei, you are overthinking it. Not only will I not let anything happen to myself, but even if something does happen to me, he won't blame you."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and lightly adjusted the waist badge at her waist, continuing:
"He knows my temperament, but he didn't take back the waist token that allows him to deploy the Jiangbei Army, which gives me the right to act independently. So whatever I do is considered to be with his consent. Since he consented, what can he blame me for?"
Yan Xiao's words were somewhat unreasonable, but Wei Wuxiu couldn't say anything to refute them, since it was a matter between the couple.
Even if he wanted to argue, Yan Xiao had the waist token in hand, and could easily dismiss him from his post now.
She's now discussing this with him, which is giving him face.
He was furious, furious that Shen Muzhi didn't know his own limitations. He wanted to pry open Shen Muzhi's brain right now and see if he had an extra love brain inside, otherwise why would he let his wife play with something like this?
This could easily lead to the entire city being ruined.
If Shen Muzhi were here right now, he would probably cry foul.
When he gave Yanxiao this, he was only thinking that he didn't have time to spend with her. She had just arrived in Jiangbei and had suffered so much injustice. He was afraid that some ignorant person would make her suffer even more.
Who would have thought his wife would be so "capable"?
After getting to know Yanxiao better through their interactions, he considered whether to take it back, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was unnecessary.
Although his wife is independent and does things her own way, she acts with moderation and method, and is not the kind of person who would joke about people's lives.
And most importantly, he had never given his wife anything nice in the first place, so there was no reason to take back what he had already given her.
He was happy to give it to Wei Wuxiu so readily, but now it's giving Wei Wuxiu a headache.
Wei Wuxiu stood frozen in place, gritting his teeth as he stared at the waist token on Yan Xiao's waist.
"Sister-in-law, can you tell me what you want to do first?"
