"No...Xiao Cheng, I'm fine. I just released too much energy, I will recover slowly..."

It was the first time that Sheng Nanxi saw the little boy so nervous, so she forced a smile at her to comfort her.

Unfortunately, she had no strength left. As soon as the corners of her mouth lifted a little, she began to twitch wildly. Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

There was no other way. In order to kill all the Xirong troops just now, she exerted her wind, earth, and metal abilities to the extreme and directly buried more than 10,000 people in the yellow sand more than ten meters deep.

After thinking about it, he was reluctant to waste the good things that the other party carried with him, so he teleported over and put all the armor, swords, and crossbows on the more than 10,000 Xirong Liangju cavalrymen into the space.

This completely exhausted all the supernatural powers and physical strength.

Fortunately, there is a little boy with her now. If she were alone and in such a weak state, she could shrink back into space and hide.

"You call this okay?! Do you know there's a phrase called 'death from exhaustion'? Oh! Girl, how come you don't know how to take care of yourself at all?" Gu Rucheng was so frightened by her pale face that his heart almost stopped, and he couldn't help but make his tone a little heavier.

On the one hand, he fed her various tonics and spiritual spring water, on the other hand, he madly transferred his inner strength into her body.

"You could have found a way to kill a few Xirong leaders and let them retreat after the battle. Why did you go to so much trouble to kill them all and make yourself so embarrassed?"

This was the first time that the usually docile kid had spoken to her with a stern face. Looking closely, there was actually a hint of grievance hidden in those angry eyes.

"Is he afraid that he will lose his life and no one will play with him?" Sheng Nanxi complained quietly in her heart. Some unconfident cunning...ah, explain:

"These Xirong people are bent on taking the remains of the King of Gaochang. They will definitely come back next time after they leave this time. Besides, they have massacred countless people of the Southern Qi clan in recent years. How about I charge a small interest now?"

"And...and..." Sheng Nanxi sniffed aggrievedly and looked up at the serious kid brother at a 45-degree angle.

"I really know my limits! I know my body can withstand such consumption, and I also know that if my energy is exhausted, Xiao Cheng will definitely take care of me! It is because Xiao Cheng is by my side that I can safely consume so much energy at once!"

The little baby's bright eyes looked at him so sincerely and innocently, and her long, straight eyelashes fluttered over and over again, sweeping across Gu Rucheng's heart.

He suddenly felt something itchy in his heart, and the nameless anger that had just risen was inexplicably extinguished.

"Ahem...don't do this next time."

"Overwork will lead to damage to the five internal organs, and the deficiency of Qi, blood, yin and yang. If this continues for a long time, it will cause irreversible damage to the body. Moreover, you are still a 10-year-old baby, how can you withstand such damage?"

"Everyone has their own responsibilities. How can you, a little kid, do everything for yourself while others just hide behind you and let you protect them?"

Gu Cheng was helpless and had to coax her softly. He hoped that this little girl would worry less and stop taking her body so seriously.

"Okay! Got it, got it! Let others do all the work, and I'll take action after they do it." Sheng Nanxi's target was to lie down, and this time he agreed readily.

"These pills are a bit slow in taking effect. Xi'er, can you keep the Soul-Restoring Pill I gave you last time?"

"Uh... Xiao Cheng, I'm really too tired. I can recover after taking a rest. There's really no need to be so extravagant..."

Sheng Nanxi found that the pills that Gu Cheng gave her when they first met were extremely precious and could be reused even if they were put into the space. After that, she became particularly frugal and would take them out easily for use.

Gu Cheng laughed and rubbed her head gently. "It's okay. I've asked someone to remake it. Xi'er, you must use it sparingly. You can have as much as you want in the future."

Can a legendary elixir be made at will? !

Sheng Nanxi once again refreshed her understanding of the strength of the Qinghe Bai family.

Since someone is treating her, she has to be polite.

The chubby girl's eyes lit up immediately. She quickly took out the exquisite cloud pattern sachet from the space and asked Gu Yucheng to take out a pill of elixir and feed it to her mouth.

Why do you need someone to feed you? Because you, Xijie, have just used up your superpowers and have too much physical strength. Now it's hard to move a finger...

On the other side, a group of strong men were stunned for a while before they slowly came to their senses.

Although the previous storms were all concentrated on the Xirong army, some winds were also carried to the Nanqi camp, blowing away some tents and changing the topography of the surrounding sand dunes.

The strong laborers and bodyguards retreated in a daze and got separated. Here, the strong laborers just woke up and found a small sand dune shaking in the distance.

When I went over to check, I found that there were several low-ranking military officers with the deputy commander of the guards who had been drinking with me tonight!

Perhaps they had heard that a typhoon was coming outside, so they hurriedly hid and the soldiers got separated. At that time, there was chaos outside, and they did not dare to go out to look for people, so they could hide behind the sand dunes and wait for the typhoon to pass.

The deputy commander had obviously drunk a lot of wine tonight, and he even fell asleep after lying on the sand dune. At this time, his snoring sounded from time to time, and the slight shaking of the sand dunes was also caused by him.

Just now, a hurricane suddenly arose and killed all the Xirong soldiers. The Nanqi people nearby might be killed by these people tonight!

The strong men got angry when they saw them. The man named Ding Er became even more furious and slashed at the deputy commander with his spear.

"Those Xirong people are simply practicing! Behind the 1,000 cavalrymen in front are 10,000 more! They are clearly planning to attack the camp. After taking down the ruins of the King of Gaochang, they will also attack Yunzhong County!"

"Ahhh! You traitor! How much benefit did the Xirong people give you? That you sold out tens of thousands of Nanqi people without any bottom line?!"

"Hey... what are you doing?!" The deputy commander was awakened by his voice and quickly hid to the side:

"How dare you! I am the deputy commander of Prince Kang's personal guard. How dare you, a jerk, point fingers in front of me?"

Ding Er sneered and put his gun to his throat: "Deputy Commander, so what? I will fight for my life today and send you, a traitor, to hell!"

Several of his best and strongest men also surrounded him at this time, all of them glaring at the generals sitting on the ground.

"Yes! They were the ones who stopped us from meeting the enemy earlier. If he betrayed Nanqi for the first time, he will do it again."

"If this disaster is eliminated, the northwestern border will never be at peace. We must kill them today even if it costs us our lives!"

The deputy commander was immediately frightened. He knew that he and his men were powerless and had no weapons. He could not avoid the siege of several strong men. He had to lower his voice to beg for mercy:

"Please spare our lives, strong men. We have our own difficulties..."

Ding Er was too lazy to listen to his excuses any longer. However, Xue Huai's eyes flashed and he stopped the long spear that he was about to chop out.

"What's your reason? Tell me. If this matter really has nothing to do with you, I will let you go."

"Wuwu...Xue boy, I knew you were the most sensible." The deputy commander was frightened to the point of tears, and hurriedly told everything he knew.

"I also know the details of this matter. I know that King Kang has had very close contacts with the Western Rong people in recent months. He even gave them huge benefits in many trade transactions."

"The commander told me a few days ago that the prince privately signed an agreement with the Xirong people, allowing them to conduct military exercises near the Mobei Pass, and it is possible that they will have deeper military cooperation in the future. As for... I don't know the rest..."

"I didn't want to fight against the Western Rong army with you guys just now, but I got the order from the king... I... I really told you everything I know. After all, my family has not been harmed, so please be kind and let us go..."

"Oh... When we return, we will report to the prince and tell him that you provided important military intelligence. The prince has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and he will definitely reward you handsomely." Upon hearing this, the generals nearby also started to interrupt.

"Yes! You have always envied the treatment of the Royal Guards, okay? Now that you are in office, everyone can join the Royal Guards. People like Xue Huai and Ding Er who have made important contributions can become centurions!"

The generals smiled in a pleasing and attentive manner, but a vicious look flashed in their eyes. They thought, how dare these lowly peasants threaten them? Let's trick them into taking the bait now, and then we'll have a way to deal with them when we get back!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xue Huai nodded to the men behind him. The other party raised his knife and struck them with a chilling blow!
