"Princess!" Bai Mei noticed her as soon as she appeared.
Xiao Zhixing released Ji Bai, not caring whether he was frightened or not. "This person is a disciple of the Feng family. Let's go, everyone's here?"
Bai Mei nodded and waved, and two guards appeared behind Ji Bai.
"Princess!" Ji Bai hurriedly bowed deeply. "Bai thanks you again, Princess!"
Xiao Zhixing waved casually with his back to him and walked to the other side.
From afar, they could see Xiao Bei talking to a tall, burly middle-aged military officer. The two of them looked over when they heard the voice.
Xiao Bei cupped his hands in greeting, "Princess."
Xiao Zhixing nodded and sized up the military officer.
The other person was also looking her up and down, and for a moment it seemed as if they were looking at someone else through her.
Xiao Zhi walked over, "Is it Uncle Black Moon?"
In the original owner's memories, she would occasionally hear Xiao Yan mention Su Zhen's nickname, and she naturally used it. She knew how to play the emotional card.
Su Zhen's body trembled slightly, "...It is indeed I, Princess!"
Black Moon was the nickname that person gave him. She would call him Black Moon in a playful tone, simply because his face was dark. She secretly gave him this amusing nickname.
Xiao Zhixing approached with a smile, "You must be tired from your journey."
Su Zhen took a deep breath and, in a daze, cupped his hands in greeting, "Princess, the master once instructed that only upon seeing the tiger tally can one command the Su Nan army!"
Xiao Zhixing chuckled, "If I didn't have the Tiger Tally, you wouldn't recognize me?"
“…No.” Su Zhen’s dark face darkened even more with tension, and his voice weakened. “Su Zhen is dull-witted and only listens to his master.”
Xiao Zhixing clicked his tongue, pretending to take out a bracelet from his pocket and snap it together a few times to assemble the seal. "Look carefully."
Su Zhenhu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if tears were welling up. The next moment, he knelt down resolutely, "Greetings, Young Master!"
With a whoosh, the Southern Jiangsu soldiers, who had been hidden nearby, appeared silently and knelt down in unison to pay homage to their new master.
Looking at the Su Nan Army, which resembled dark, murky water, Xiao Zhixing smiled and expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yan for the first time.
Considering the generous gift she had given herself, she decided to be slightly less contemptuous of her love-struck nature.
"Please rise, generals. Zhixing greets all the elders here!"
Xiao Zhixing solemnly cupped his hands in a circle, conveying a thousand words in that gesture.
They were utterly loyal, knowing there was no hope ahead, yet they still waited for their master to reappear. Fifteen years passed, from youth to middle age—a tragic yet admirable situation.
Everyone felt a jolt in their hearts, stood up, bowed silently once more, and then disappeared like flowing water, continuing to hide.
Xiao Bei and the other guards were deeply moved.
The Southern Jiangsu Army truly lived up to its reputation as the last military backbone of the former Yin Dynasty, displaying unwavering loyalty and steadfastness that command respect!
The Southern Jiangsu Army, since its founding in the Yin Dynasty, has always been the most loyal Southern Jiangsu Army, protecting the Yin Dynasty for three hundred years!
They may not be the Southern Jiangsu Army of the Great Sheng Dynasty, but they are definitely the Southern Jiangsu Army of the Xiao imperial family! They are the Southern Jiangsu Army of the entire realm!
[Through the changing times, they followed the imperial precepts, never betraying their country, taking it upon themselves to protect the world; though they died, they were honored!]
[The Southern Jiangsu Army greets their ancestors!] (+)
[Aaaaaaah, a living, living hero!]
[Everyone salutes!!]
[Salute!] (+)
Xiao Zhixing calmed himself down, and the three of them squatted in a circle, writing and drawing on the ground to deduce feasible plans.
"Uncle Black Moon, you're the key." Xiao Zhixing smiled and glanced at his thick hair. "Are you worried about it?"
Su Zhen touched his hair, sighing helplessly, "Damn it... uh, I never thought I'd have to borrow that guy's name one day, tsk..."
Xiao Bei, standing nearby, suppressed a laugh, wondering how exciting the scene would be; he was really looking forward to it.
Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "Then let's proceed according to plan. Take care, everyone!"
The two men bowed to her solemnly, saying, "Princess, please take care. If anything happens, please prioritize your own life!"
Xiao Zhixing seemed relaxed. "Don't worry, I have people with me, my life is safe."
Black Tiger, White Phoenix, Eagle Two, White Plum, and Ink Plum will all be following her in the shadows; she values her life very much.
[Here it comes, here it comes, ahhh, the allusions and idioms are coming!]
Witness history!
[I'm so excited, hahaha...]
Bai Su: "Ahhh, what's the story behind this idiom? I'm so curious!"
Before leaving, Xiao Zhixing asked about Huo Baijun and the others.
Xiao Bei said, "Ladies, I sent men to escort them back to Shengjing. Young Master Huo, Young Master Li, and Young Master Mu are unwilling to return and wish to join the battle with the guards."
"Okay, I won't see them. Tell them to be on their guard."
It's good to give young people some experience. She has high hopes for Huo Baijun; practical experience helps people develop, and she hopes he can become a formidable general.
After making arrangements, Xiao Zhixing returned to the Northern Barbarian army camp under cover of night and carefully rehearsed the plan.
Nothing can go exactly as planned. We can only try our best to steer things along our plans, act according to circumstances, and leave the rest to fate.
It was already four or five in the morning when Xiao Zhixing fell soundly asleep in the enemy camp.
The next day, with less than twelve hours remaining before Xiao Kui's army arrived, every second counted.
After having breakfast, Xiao Zhixing led the Northern Barbarian army to attack the city again, but neither side used their full strength.
As soon as he stepped down, Aqi, who had taken over the communication, reported, "Your Highness, the scouts report that the Southern Jiangsu Army has appeared!"
"Really?" Xiao Long sat up straight abruptly. "Are you sure it's the Southern Jiangsu Army?"
Archie nodded. "It's true! We also received a message that Zhao Yunqi has ordered the Southern Jiangsu Army to come to Yanshan to rescue the emperor."
"Strange, the Southern Jiangsu Army isn't in Shengjing, so why did they appear in Yanshan so quickly? Oh well, never mind that, quickly send people to investigate again, make sure they find out their situation for me, and also send a message to Father Khan Flying Eagle, his old rival has appeared."
