Xiao Zhixing circled around and then reunited with everyone.
He recalled the collision in his mind and retrieved information about Xiao Long.
He is the sixth prince of the Northern Barbarians, currently 17 years old, and the most beloved son of the Great Khan Xiao Kui.
He was inherently cruel and arrogant, and possessed immense strength from a young age.
He is the youngest Golden Bull Warrior among the Northern Barbarians, and his mother's clan is the Aite tribe, the second largest tribe in the Northern Barbarians.
Rumor has it that he was closest to the eldest prince, Xiao Chi, and interestingly, both of them were strong contenders for the throne.
I wonder if he will come after me?
She also learned some things from the live stream comments.
[Ah! This is Xiao Long? Why is he wearing a mask? Is he ugly?]
[Haha, the famous Xiao**, what a pity...]
[Hehe, I ship incest, Xiao Long and Xiao Chi, sob sob, it's so good! The best of brothers!]
[Traitor! He's the princess's formidable rival; he'll poison you to death if you take anything!]
[But their brotherly relationship is indeed very good. Although no one believes it, it's strange, considering their vastly different social statuses—one is the son of a slave, the other of noble birth. Tsk, I'm almost convinced they're a couple.]
[Hahaha, right? Right? Behind them are *****, one strong and hot-tempered, the other calm and cunning, hehehehe, smells good—]
Xiao Zhixing's eyes flickered, as if he were deep in thought.
At this moment, it was dawn, the rain stopped, and the morning sky was clear.
The atmosphere in the live stream suddenly became deathly silent.
As dawn broke, from a god-like perspective on the map, one could clearly see a massive, dark army of northern barbarians, their countless battle flags obscuring the sun, marching southwards.
The dark red military flags belonging to the Northern Barbarian Emperor's tent were bared and menacing, like gaping maws that blotted out the sky.
Xiao Zhixing led his group to a cave, where they made a fire, ate, dried their clothes, and repaired themselves.
She also saw the mighty Northern Barbarian army stretching like clouds behind her.
At this moment, she was very calm, frighteningly calm.
Her mind raced; what could she do in this situation?
With the flames of war ignited, nearby troops will surely arrive, and the arrangements she made before leaving Shengjing should already be in effect.
However, even considering the troop strength, they were outnumbered and facing the iron cavalry of the northern barbarians.
Infantry facing cavalry requires many times more troops to fill the gap.
What's worse is that the northern region is flat and there are no large cities that can stop the enemy.
How will she turn the tide of the battle?
How can we gain the initiative and acquire greater power in this war?
Judging from the current situation, the main force of the Northern Barbarians will arrive at Yanshan in about four days. They clearly have a clear objective: to take the emperor.
Will the emperor retreat from Yanshan? Will he be able to escape the pursuit and return to Shengjing despite being seriously injured?
What price will be paid along the way?
All of this requires careful planning.
"Your Majesty, you have finally woken up."
While Xiao Zhixing closed his eyes to rest, he finally waited for the Emperor Main System and Zhao Yunqi to wake up.
She perked up and focused intently on their conversation.
"What's the situation now?" Zhao Yunqi asked, enduring the pain.
"This is bad. It's the Northern Barbarian army. They're coming this way, specifically to surround you."
The Emperor System said anxiously, "You have two choices: either hide in Yanshan and wait for rescue, or set off immediately to return to Shengjing, but your health is not good."
"Just now, in order to save your life, I had no extra energy to prevent your condition from worsening."
"Your ministers have just lit the beacon fires. The vanguard of the Northern Barbarians will reach Yanshan in less than two hours. Make a decision quickly."
"What about Guixiong Pass?"
"Initial reports indicate that the garrison commander, Song Kang, has betrayed the state and opened the gates of Guixiong Pass. The entire Northern Province is now in grave danger."
Zhao Yunqi took a deep breath, his face grave:
"I am the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty. If I flee in panic, the pursuing troops behind me will surely wreak havoc on the Northern Province."
"Only by holding this position here and keeping the enemy tied down can the reinforcements have a viable plan."
"The imperial palace has less than 30,000 people. Not counting Guixiong Pass, the nearest border troops can only be transferred 30,000 to 50,000. Other places are too far away, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Perhaps if we escape and head towards the heart of Dasheng, there is still a glimmer of hope!" the Emperor System suggested.
"Behind me are the Northern State and the millions of people of Dasheng. All the officials and the Empress Dowager are here. How can I abandon them? This road is not an option."
Zhao Yunqi resolutely refused, saying, "I will defend Yanshan with honor, even if I die! Give me the information you have gathered."
"Alright, alright, if you die, I'll just have to find another host!"
The Emperor System was frustrated: "The Northern Barbarians raided the camp, and 40% of the Imperial Guards and officials were killed or wounded. There are still some who haven't escaped to the palace, and their fate is unknown."
"Fortunately, the military officers and guards from various families were very helpful, and some important ministers have arrived safely. Grand Tutor Li, General Huo, and others are waiting outside for you to wake up."
"What's the situation outside the palace?"
"Alright, I know what you're going to ask. The Xiao family girl isn't dead. She's alive and kicking, dealing with the Northern Barbarians."
"I told you she's not your daughter. Xiao Yan hates you to the core, how could she possibly have a child for you? Stop daydreaming. Think about your current situation first. Don't become the first founding emperor captured alive by a foreign tribe, what a disgrace!"
“You are the one who cares more. What are you afraid of? Xiao Yan is already dead. A girl is not worth worrying about... What I want to ask is about the situation of the Northern Barbarian army.”
"I'm scared? It's you, sterilized, wanting a child, you'd definitely be concerned about her! ...Phew, good news, the main army will arrive in about four days. Bad news, the vanguard is uninterrupted and heading straight for the palace. They'll be able to hunt the palace in an hour."
The system was working hard to stabilize the program; it really shouldn't have gotten so agitated.
Even if Zhao Yunqi cares about certain people, so what? He still has no choice but to obey orders.
