Song Ning and Xie Linzhou emerged from the space, carefully found the mountain path, and began to descend along it.
Many more patrolling soldiers appeared on the mountain, but Xie Linzhou dealt with them all silently.
The two stood on the mountain above, and Song Ning pointed to the valley below: "When I came here, there was an army there. They should still be there now. Let's take them down."
Xie Linzhou also wanted to, but he was afraid that the two of them wouldn't be enough.
"Have you forgotten? I have a secret weapon. Back then, I relied on this secret weapon to defend Yuezhou and protect Tianxiang County. It's a pity that Chai Qing isn't here, otherwise I could have taught him."
Xie Linzhou caught the key point: "Chai Qing? When did you two become so close?"
"Didn't you send him to protect me before? He's a good guy. I promised him I'd teach him."
Xie Linzhou pursed his lips. He had a good relationship with everyone, but they all disregarded him.
“Then you can teach me too, and I’ll teach him later.”
"We don't need it today, let's just walk a little further down."
Before we even reached the big tree, we saw that the foot of the mountain was surrounded by patrols, so we couldn't go any further, but the distance was about right.
He handed the item to Xie Linzhou, saying, "You're strong enough to throw it far, why don't you try?"
Xie Linzhou looked at the unfamiliar object in his hand; it was quite large.
Song Ning took out a lighter, lit the fuse, and when it looked about right, shouted, "Throw it!"
Xie Linzhou instantly threw what he was holding away, and just as he was wondering what was going on, a loud explosion occurred below.
The entire mountain collapsed and the earth cracked.
The valley below wasn't very wide, but the power of the firearms was immense; rocks tumbled down all around, and they didn't even hear anyone scream.
Xie Linzhou looked bewildered for a moment, once again refreshing his understanding.
How many secrets does Song Ning still hold?
He had heard from his soldiers that Song Ning had a particularly powerful weapon, but none of them had ever seen it with their own eyes; they had only witnessed its power, and it was truly a valuable tool for fighting.
However, Song Ning said at the time that she could not use this thing on a large scale in the war. Those who saw it at the time did not ask any questions, since it was night and they could not see very clearly. They just reported the matter to the capital, but it did not seem to attract any attention. They only sent Song Ning a reward.
Only today did Xie Linzhou realize what Song Ning actually held in his hands.
Song Ning laughed: "They deserved to invade us."
Xie Linzhou blinked and asked, "Where did you get this thing from?"
"ah?"
Song Ning suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean that one from earlier, um... given by a deity."
Since the gods have already given her that space, she won't be any different.
"The gods...returned these?"
"Ah, the gods said that I am good-looking and they like me just the way I am, so they gave me a lot of things."
......
While it's true that Song Ning is good-looking,... that statement just doesn't sound plausible.
Song Ning insisted that it was given by a deity, so Xie Linzhou didn't ask any further questions.
After taking over the military camp below, the two of them followed the marks Song Ning had made when he came, slowly making their way out of the mountains along the valley.
Whenever they encountered the Southern Yue army, the smaller ones were handed over to Xie Linzhou, and the larger ones to her.
The two wandered in the mountains for half a month before finally leaving Baisha Ridge.
If you drive a few kilometers further after leaving Baishaling, you will see the town.
The two bought two horses in town and headed straight for Lingcheng.
Because Xie Linzhou was not present and the soldiers suffered heavy losses last time, their morale was low, so Tang Xinghuai let them rest first.
The army was stationed outside the city. When Xie Linzhou appeared, everyone thought they had seen a ghost. After all, he had been missing for several months and there was basically no chance of him surviving.
Zhang Ping was the most excited when Xie Linzhou returned. He had been searching in the mountains for several days when Song Ning arrived, but he did not act rashly. Every time he felt he could not hold on, he would come back to rest for a few days before going again.
But several months passed without seeing any sign of their young master.
He had just cried before Xie Linzhou and Song Ning returned.
She clung to Xie Linzhou and wouldn't let go, a grown man crying uncontrollably, and no one could pull her away.
Song Ning looked at the others and asked, "Have the people from the Duke's Mansion arrived?"
"We arrived a long time ago. Madam Xie and Her Highness the Princess have been weeping all day long. You should go and see them."
After pushing Zhang Ping aside, Xie Linzhou went to see his family first.
Upon entering, Madam Xie and Princess Jianing, along with their family of three, embraced and wept.
Song Ning came out of the military tent, looked around, and asked, "Where is Tang Xinghuai?"
"Your Highness, Prince Qi is not here today."
"Where did you go?"
"No, I don't know."
He really is a scoundrel, abandoning even the military camp.
"Go look for him. If you can't find him, find someone close to him."
"yes."
Xie Linzhou is back, and it's time to settle some scores.
Hearing the crying inside gradually subside, Song Ning went in. As soon as she entered, Princess Jianing grasped her hand, her eyes brimming with tears: "Er Ya, you are truly a lucky star for our Xie family. Lin Zhou told me that if it weren't for you, he really wouldn't have been able to come back this time. Er Ya, you are our Xie family's benefactor. I... I don't know how to thank you, I... I..."
Princess Jianing had already decided that if Xie Linzhou really didn't come back, she wouldn't live either. When she heard that Song Ning was going to find someone, her vision went black.
Losing one is enough; we absolutely mustn't lose another.
They sent people to search for them every day, but there was no good news. They had almost given up hope, but unexpectedly, they actually came back.
“Mother, don’t thank me. He’s my husband, we’re family. I can’t just abandon him.”
Before, Madam Xie's hair was only slightly gray, but this time, it turned completely white.
He walked down the steps, trembling, and held Song Ning's hand, unable to speak.
"Grandmother, you're not feeling well, please sit down and rest. I'm right here, we can talk about it later."
"well."
Madam Xie and Princess Jianing had always liked Song Ning, and now they cherished her even more than their own daughter.
The Xie family really made the right choice in marrying this woman.
No one is as fortunate as their family.
Xie Linzhou comforted Madam Xie and Princess Jianing, while Song Ning chatted with them for a while. Then someone came in and said that Tang Xinghuai had returned.
When Song Ning went outside, she saw Tang Xinghuai standing calmly not far away, smiling at her.
Song Ning walked over: "Shall we chat?"
The two arrived at an empty tent. As soon as they entered, Song Ning laughed and said, "I thought you had already packed your bags and run away."
"No, not at all."
Can't you? Or can't you escape?
Before she went into the mountains, she instructed Xie Linzhou's subordinates to keep a close eye on Tang Xinghuai.
With the arrival of the Duke's mansion, the city will be completely surrounded, so much so that not even a fly could escape. Even if someone wanted to run away, they probably wouldn't be able to.
