The other party was far away from them. Although Gu Chengwu was strong and had drunk a lot of diluted spiritual spring water during this period, he could only hear very subtle movements when he calmed down.

"Yes, Xier guessed correctly. Judging from the speed of the opponent's horses and the formation, I'm afraid they want to launch a surprise attack on the royal guard stationed at the Gaochang ruins."

Gu Cheng looked at the strong and healthy guards of Prince Kang who were still resting, and couldn't help but frowned.

"The enemy shouldn't have many people. On the Nanqi side, there are more than a dozen guards of King Kang alone, plus more than a dozen strong men to help. They should be able to fight off one or two of them."

"but……"

Sheng Nanxi continued, "But now is the time for lunch and rest. In order to work better at night, many people are taking a nap in the tents. The Xirong people's surprise attack at this time is just right to catch them off guard!"

"Xiao Cheng, we have to remind them quickly!"

As far as she knew, the Xirong tribe had been harassing the border of Southern Qi for many years. Raping women, burning and looting were minor crimes. More than ten years ago, when the border defense of Southern Qi was relatively weak, they came to the border of Southern Qi regularly to rob and massacre nearby villages one by one.

The disaster in the northwest border area has turned into a hell on earth.

This area originally did not belong to any country, so no one cared. Now the Xirong people came over here without being called. I'm afraid they got the news from somewhere that there was a huge fortune buried under the Gaochang ruins. They are ready to come and take away all the treasures!

And judging from the brutality of the other side, they must have come here to kill a group of disobedient Nanqi people before looking for the treasure. If they find that the treasure is gone, the remaining Nanqi people will also suffer!

Not to mention that Xue Huai and his men, whom she had high hopes for, were still in the camp. Even if she was very unhappy with King Kang, she couldn't just sit there and watch her compatriots being trampled by foreigners at this critical moment.

The kid nodded seriously. "Yes, the Xirong people are not our kind. We must warn them."

"But this is the Northwest Army's business after all. We should try not to interfere. Wait a moment, I'll go over."

Although Sheng Nanxi had exposed her special abilities many times along the way, he still wanted her to work less and rest more.

Not long after, Gu Cheng brought over an unconscious soldier. "Just now a patrol passed by nearby, and I carried him here while others were not paying attention."

Sheng Nanxi understood what he meant immediately and gave the kid a thumbs up.

With a wave of her hand, several silver needles instantly pierced into the soldier's head. The soldier was shocked and met Sheng Nanxi's dark and deep eyes.

Before I could react and figure out how a 15-year-old could have such a penetrating look, my mind went blank and only a voice echoed in my head:

"The Western Rong army appeared ten miles outside the Nanqi camp. Report this to the deputy commander immediately!"

"Buzz——" A slight sound suddenly rang in his head. When the soldier opened his eyes again, he found himself lying outside the camp.

Thinking of the thought that had entered his mind before he fell asleep, he suddenly became frightened and ran towards the commander-in-chief's tent.

"Oh no! The Western Rong army appeared ten miles away from the camp! All troops on alert, the Western Rong army is coming!"

His roar caused the whole camp to go into an uproar. Many people were awakened and came out of their tents to check.

In the general's main tent, the deputy commander of the imperial guard and several officers were drinking wine and having dinner. When they heard the report from outside, they were all stunned for a moment.

"Western Rong army? Are you sure it's the Western Rong people coming?" The deputy commander looked intoxicated and asked uncertainly.

One of his personal soldiers had excellent eyesight, and could see rows of black dots gradually expanding in the distance with his half-closed eyes. He nodded in surprise.

All the generals were confused. Only one young general reacted first and whispered in the deputy commander's ear:

"Why are the Xirong people coming now? Didn't the order say that the barbarians would come in half a month?"

The young general certainly didn't know what agreement King Kang had reached with the Western Rong people in private. However, he had a good relationship with the deputy commander, and vaguely knew that King Kang had promised the other party not to interfere with their military exercises using the unique terrain near Mobei Pass.

However, the diplomatic relations between the two countries are so serious that it is unreasonable for the parties to implement the agreement in advance after agreeing that it will take effect half a month later? !

The deputy commander was also confused. But remembering King Kang's recent attitude towards the Xirong people, he waved his hand and ordered the people outside:

"They are probably just passing by, so the people outside don't have time to prepare for battle and all return to their tents to avoid their sharp attack."

He thought about it, and said worriedly: "Tell those strong men not to work tonight, and all go back to their tents. Don't disturb the Xirong people who are training nearby!"

The personal guards beside him took orders and retreated.

I always felt that the Xirong people did not look like they were practicing, but I did not dare to say anything in front of the commander.

…

"Bang--"

At the same time, a dull sound of sticks hitting flesh was heard from the other side's Zhuanglao tent.

"Ouch! It hurts! Who? Who hit your grandpa?!"

A soldier-like man was hit by a club. He howled in pain, and shook himself, sprinkling the powder on his hand onto his body.

He subconsciously turned around to check the 'murderer', but he was faced with five rough men. The leader was Xue Huai, the thorn in the gang!

The soldier was so scared that he sat down on the bed, "What are you doing? I'm just passing by, don't mess around!"

"Ha! Just passing by. What decent person would pass by someone else's tent and carry a bag of medicine powder with him?" A tall man next to Xue Huai couldn't help but joked.

"Thanks to Brother Xue Huai's alertness, we knew that the supervisor surnamed Jiang was treacherous and would definitely find a way to retaliate against us, so we kept an eye on the camp. Look, we really caught a rat!"

"If he really put the poison into the pond, we might all die here!"

Fierce eyes swept over him, frightening the soldier again, "What an injustice! How could I have the intention to harm you, you good guys..."

"No?" Xue Huai sneered. "Then you eat all the powder. If the poison hasn't taken effect after a quarter of an hour, I'll assume you're just passing by."

After hearing this, the soldier trembled even more. Xue Huai understood what was going on and was about to have him tied up when he suddenly heard a familiar command from outside.

"Everyone, take a rest tonight. Return to the camp immediately and do not stay outside to disturb the Xirong army's training!"

Before I could digest this sudden good news, I heard a loud shout:

"The Xirong Army is not conducting a drill at all! All troops on alert! The Xirong Army is attacking our camp!"

The other person's voice sounded a little strange, but inexplicably convincing. Xue Huai was suddenly startled, and he rushed out as soon as he lifted the curtain!
