"Okay, stop making a fuss. Everyone, be more alert recently and don't be as lazy as usual. Since the leader is here and has summoned two elders for a private talk, something big must be happening in the Beggars' Sect recently. Everyone, be more alert and keep your eyes and ears open when you are on the street."
"Okay, Captain."
The brothers who were playing around, after hearing the captain's serious tone, no one dared to make a fuss and immediately responded obediently.
"Captain, look at this!"
One of the brothers walked into the dilapidated temple first. As soon as he entered, he saw the faint light of a fire, illuminating several new beds in the temple.
Although the new bed is not big, it looks sturdy and there are bedding and bedspread on it.
In the dim light, some people did not give up and quickly lit a torch. They got closer and took a look. Suddenly, several people could not help but look surprised!
"This, this is actually a new quilt! Could it be that the gang leader got it for us when he asked us to leave just now?!"
"It must be. Who else could it be besides the gang leader!?"
"Yes, yes, it must be the gang leader. I didn't expect that the gang leader would be such a gentle person who takes care of us brothers. That's the gang leader. She, she, she, she, she actually worried that we would be bitten by mosquitoes and that we would be uncomfortable sleeping on the ground, and she even got so many things for us!
My god, I am so lucky to be a disciple of the Beggars' Sect!"
Immediately, one of the disciples fell on the new bed, hugged the soft quilt, and praised Chaoge.
Seeing the disciple's actions, four disciples rushed over and pulled him up from the bed, "You are so dirty, and you still want to hold the new quilt? This is given by the gang leader. Let's find a place to store it and use it when it gets colder."
The disciple who was dragged up had an innocent look on his face, "We are beggars to begin with. The leader didn't despise us and even gave us brand new beddings. Why can't we hug our own? Don't you see that everyone has one? I hug mine. If you want to keep it, keep it. Why do you care about me? Really, I'm going to clean up the bed the leader gave me when I go. Go away..."
Chaoge had no idea that her small move, which cost less than three taels of silver, made her five disciples as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night and excitedly cleaned up the dilapidated temple overnight.
On this side, Chaoge found an abandoned house two hundred miles away from Kaihua City and released all the women she had taken away from the underground palace.
Before leaving, he left two hundred taels of silver, some dry food, and some new clothes and quilts for the women.
Two hundred taels of silver were enough for these women to share, and they could then find a place to live a stable life. Unless they were unwilling and wanted to continue humiliating themselves, she would have no other choice.
Afterwards, she rushed to the border where the war had broken out overnight.
The place where the war started was not the place where Chaoge entered the pass, but on a border 300 miles away from Beipinglu.
This place is not only close to Beipinglu, but also another border line between Xiling Kingdom and Cangnan Dynasty.
The two countries are separated by two mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles, but there is a gap in the middle of the two mountains. Because of this gap, both countries have border garrisons.
However, the two countries have never had a war in their many years of relations, not even a minor friction, so the number of officers and soldiers stationed on both sides is only about 20,000 to 30,000.
But what the Cangnan Dynasty did not expect was that the border, which had been peaceful for decades, was suddenly attacked by the 500,000-strong army of the Xiling Kingdom in the middle of the night.
An army of 500,000 launched a surprise attack on a border area of 20,000 or 30,000. One can imagine how quickly the attack would be successful and how tragically the soldiers of the Cangnan Dynasty would die.
Overnight, after Xiling was captured, they went all the way eastward and occupied Hanyang City, a large border city of the Cangnan Dynasty.
Hanyang City is only three hundred miles away from Gaofeng City, the last city captured by Beiping Lu.
As soon as the Xiling Kingdom invaded, Beiping Lu, who was stationed in Gaofeng City, immediately dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to the south, sweeping across countless lands of the Cangnan Dynasty. In the section between Gaofeng City and Hanyang City, he joined forces with Xiling's 200,000 troops and occupied another county town.
Now, it can be said that the Cangnan Dynasty is struggling just to deal with the two great countries of Beipinglu and Xiling with 1.5 million soldiers.
Coming all the way from Chaoge, it was near dawn when I saw some people and learned about the current situation in several countries.
When Chaoge thought of Jun Yumo on the battlefield facing such a powerful enemy, his heart rose to his throat.
She was very glad that she got out this time, otherwise she would not have known how much pressure Jun Yumo was under at this moment.
The children woke up one after another in the hospital, and Chaoge also needed to rest so that he could be in a better state of mind to deal with the various emergencies that would happen next.
He forced himself to be alert, dressed the children, and prepared breakfast for them. After watching them eat and happily go to the playground to play, Chaoge quickly fell on the big bed to catch up on his sleep.
After taking a short nap, she forced herself to get ready despite her sleepy body, and quickly prepared lunch for the children. She planned to continue walking for another half an hour and then come back to take the children to eat.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to cross the checkpoint of Xiling Kingdom and head to Hanyang City in three hours at most. Maybe her elder brother is there, but she doesn't know where Jun Yumo is now coordinating the army.
By evening, Chaoge arrived at the border as she wished. When she saw the soldiers guarding the border strictly, Chaoge knew that even if she pretended to be a Xiling citizen and went from the border of Xiling to the direction of Cangnan Dynasty, these people would not let her pass. So she simply chose to cross the mountains.
Fortunately, her lightness skills came in handy at this time. She easily climbed over the mountains that blocked the two countries and galloped non-stop towards Hanyang City.
Chaoge, who was focused on getting on the road, had to use her mind to keep an eye on the five children in the hospital, and occasionally had to find time to go in. As a result, she arrived outside the city of Hanyang at the end of the evening.
Unfortunately, Hanyang City was surrounded tightly by soldiers from Xiling State, with soldiers stationed inside and outside the city. Chaoge would probably have a hard time even if she wanted to get past the tents of the soldiers stationed outside the city, let alone enter the city.
Even if they broke through these tents, unfortunately the gates of Hanyang City were strictly guarded. The people living outside the city had already closed their doors, or had already fled with their families when the people from Xiling State broke through.
"What should I do? Should I kill the soldiers of Xiling Country and then break in? But Xiling Country is also my own country, and I can't prove my identity to them. It's so annoying!"
