"General Mu was ambushed and seriously injured, falling into a coma. Fortunately, Young General Mu took command of the army and stabilized morale. Xining Pass is in danger!"
She was given a warning but was still ambushed; she was helpless.
"Have you found any trace of Xiao Chi?" Xiao Zhixing was concerned about this first, since even with live streaming cameras, they couldn't pinpoint his location.
"Still searching, Xiao Chi is cunning."
Xiao Zhixing nodded to indicate that he understood, "Continue the search."
Eagle II stepped down.
At night, the live stream room fell silent after being muted.
Xiao Zhixing left the General's Mansion, transformed into Doctor Xue, and flew with Bai Feng towards Xining Pass.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! You've got a mouthful of sand in my mouth. This godforsaken place, how can it be so desolate?" Bai Feng spat out a few mouthfuls of sand.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, completely deserted, without a single soul in sight.
However, once you approach Xining Pass and enter the Xining Plain, the landscape turns green.
This place has the largest horse farm in Dasheng and is also the only passage from Dasheng to the Western Regions.
She told Bai Feng to wait for her outside the city, and then she entered Xining Pass.
They sneaked into the general's mansion under the moonlight, deliberately making their presence known.
"who?"
Immediately, guards questioned her, and almost instantly, flames surrounded her.
"Dr. Xue" frowned but remained calm. "Take me to see your young general."
He impatiently tossed the Xiao Family Army's leopard tally to the leader, saying, "This is a token."
Not long after, she was ushered into the main hall and met General Mu An, along with several of the Mu family's grandchildren.
"Is he one of Prince Xiao's men?"
Mu An was around forty years old, with a refined and scholarly demeanor, and was a famous scholar-general in the Great Sheng Dynasty.
"Dr. Xue" nodded indifferently. "My surname is Xue. I have come here on the orders of the young prince to see General Mu."
Seemingly annoyed by the repetition, she added, "I know medicine."
Mu An stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "Thank you, Your Highness. Please come with me."
He heard that Xiao Yuanshan was awakened by a mysterious person, and wondered if it was this person.
After examining Mu Liangyi, "Divine Physician Xue" frowned and thought for a while before saying:
"It's the Western Xinjiang poison, Tianbing. It's deadly, but he's old, and this poison has brought out all his previous hidden injuries."
He pulled a bottle of medicine from his pocket. "Let's wake him up first, and then we can take good care of him later. Tsk, another one ruined."
The Mu family remained silent in the face of her sharp tongue.
Because Mu Liangyi was indeed poisoned by Tianbing, but the physicians in the manor were unable to find an antidote.
This person can actually solve it?
Mu An personally took the antidote and carefully fed it to her father.
The effect was immediate; before long, Mu Liangyi woke up.
"Father (Grandfather)!"
The Mu family was overjoyed and excited.
"Dr. Xue" said disappointedly, "Now that the person is awake, I should go. This antidote should be taken once every three days. Just finish it."
"However, he should not be able to work hard in the future. He can learn from Xiao Yuanshan and go back to be a farmer."
After saying that, "Dr. Xue" turned and left.
Mu An hurriedly caught up and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you so much, Doctor Xue, for saving my life."
"Don't thank me, go thank the young prince." With that, she leaped onto the roof and left decisively.
Even the most skilled guards of the Mu family couldn't catch up.
"Father, she's so strong!" Mu Yue, the eldest grandson of the Mu family, had his eyes shining. He admired such a master so much.
Mu An snorted softly, turned around and went back into the house.
Mu Liangyi took a couple of sips of water and gestured for Mu An to come closer. "This time, Prince Xiao saved me, firstly for Xining, and secondly for herself. But I cannot forget this life-saving grace. In the future..."
Otherwise, they wouldn't go to such lengths; the Mu family and the Xiao family have no dealings whatsoever.
Mu An nodded, "I understand, Father, don't worry."
Mu Liangyi leaned against the pillow and breathed for a while, his aged face full of exhaustion.
After a long pause, he said in a low voice, "A letter came from the capital. It seems that Prince Xiao might be that person's daughter. What do you think?"
Mu An paused, a flash of memories in her eyes, "Father, twenty years have passed. Now, she is just Xiao Yuanshan's daughter."
Given the favorable timing and location back then, even Princess Yuansheng couldn't accomplish what a mere girl could do.
Mu Liangyi sighed, "Princess, what a pity."
He was as intelligent as any man, but he lost because of his gender.
Mu An said, "You should rest well. Our Mu family's responsibility has always been, and only is, Xining Pass."
"Alas, I'm getting old, my brother, you have to guard Xining Pass for me."
Mu Liangyi slowly closed his eyes, as if talking to himself, "This is what I promised Yuzhen. I can't lose it before I die, I can't lose it..."
Mu An felt inexplicably saddened upon hearing this.

Xiao Zhixing returned to the new city and sat alone on the roof of the General's Mansion, watching the moon set in the west.
Bai Feng transformed into a small bird and perched on her shoulder.
"It's rare to see you not practicing your exercises."
She knows best how hard-working and diligent Xiao Zhixing is.
In several dimensions, they worked almost day and night, often exhausting themselves.
The hardships and bitterness involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
Xiao Zhixing stroked her smooth feathers. "I also know how to balance work and rest."
She's too tense; she's afraid she'll break down.
Back in the day, she was a spoiled young man in Beijing, indulging in all sorts of pleasures, and was known as the "Heiress of the Capital".
I could feel her longing for me from afar.
Bai Feng gently touched her cheek with her little head in a comforting gesture.
Xiao Zhixing smiled, his eyes full of gentleness and a faint light.
Boom, boom, boom—
In the simple training ground in the backyard of the general's mansion, two figures were practicing martial arts intently under the moonlight, exchanging punches and kicks.
"Look, there are people who are even more diligent than me."
No need to look, it must be Huo Baijun and Xiong Chumo.
Two shirtless boys were sweating profusely, bathed in the hazy moonlight.
