Before Qin Susu could finish speaking, Qiu Yan had already lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
She had just sat down in the front of the carriage with Ling Ba when she saw Huyan Xun already riding his horse, level with her.
"Little beauty, why are you walking so fast? Are you scared sometimes?"
As he spoke, he looked smugly at the army behind him.
Clearly, he wanted to show off to Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan glanced calmly behind her, estimating there were several thousand people, her face showing no fear.
The number of them was considerable, and each one appeared to be brave and skilled in battle.
"Where did you get the idea that I was scared? Besides, I told you, you're not allowed to call me that anymore."
If she were afraid, she would never have let Huyan Xun find her.
"Stubborn!" Huyan Xun disliked this sense of defeat.
It's strange. This little woman from the Central Plains is young and small in stature. How come she's not afraid of him at all?
"Qiu Yan, tell me the truth, who exactly are you people?"
He estimated that, apart from Qin Susu and Qiu Yan, the two women from the Central Plains, the rest of Qiu Yan's group were all men.
"The people of the Central Plains," Qiu Yan said slowly.
"Nonsense!" Huyan Xun clearly didn't believe it.
Qiu Yan: "You don't believe me? If you don't believe me, why did you agree to give me a warhorse?"
She wondered if this barbarian leader was also thinking of becoming a vassal of the Central Plains, which was why he was trying to please her.
If he said he had feelings for her, Qiu Yan shook her head, finding it too absurd.
Huyan Xun's greatest hobby was lust.
"I..." Huyan Xun paused, what was his purpose?
Damn it, he didn't know?
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out why he was doing this.
"I'm just showing you the mighty warhorses of our tribe."
He, Huyan Xun, would not put any woman in his eyes.
He felt that the reason he treated Qiu Yan differently was because of her identity as a female doctor.
After all, he would have to rely on her for the rest of his life.
"Is that so?" Qiu Yan slightly curved her lips.
Does Huyan Chanyu himself believe what he said?
Vera, sitting on her hunchback, listened to Qiu Yan and the other woman's conversation, and her tightly clenched hands relaxed slightly.
Qiu Yanling and eight others, totaling over a hundred people, expanded the team a second time.
Further on, they passed an oasis.
Qiu Yan thought that if they went any further, they would be encountering small countries or deserts, so they should prepare enough fodder for their horses in advance.
Upon closer reflection, camels are far more practical than horses.
...
Outside the capital of Qi, inside the camp,
Gunshots rang out incessantly.
Commandant Qin, along with Ling Yun and Ling Zhi, hid in the shadows and relentlessly killed the advancing enemy soldiers.
More than three people,
The archers, now snipers, were all summoned by Captain Qin.
They hid around the camp, and whenever enemy troops rushed in, without exception, they all died by their guns.
Lingzhi was right; the other side was testing them.
"Damn enemy troops, how come they never stop fighting?" Seeing wave after wave of enemy troops trying to storm the camp, Captain Qin cursed and quickened the pace of his men's movements.
Qiu Dayu and Xia Minhan also participated.
They did not use firearms because they were limited in number and because they had not received specialized training.
What they held in their hands were bows and arrows with tinder.
They targeted the advancing enemy troops without hesitation.
Originally, Qiu Dayu and his companion, along with the main force, hid around the camp, observing its every move.
Yes, Commandant Qin did not let these new recruits go into battle because of their lack of experience.
However, Qiu Dayu couldn't stand it.
He believed that his archery skills had improved rapidly through training, so he volunteered.
