"What is it?" the boy asked in confusion.

Su Xiaoxiao changed the word to one that was easier to understand at the time: "Ma Fei San, a medicine that will relieve your pain."

The young man hurriedly shook his head: "That kind of medicine is very expensive and rare. I can bear this minor injury. You can save it for those with more serious injuries."

His wound was not big, so he could use anesthesia or not. Since he was young, Su Xiaoxiao wanted to give it to him. If it was an adult man, Su Xiaoxiao would definitely let him carry it.

Who would have thought that he was such a tough guy.

Considering that the anesthetic was indeed limited, Su Xiaoxiao did not insist.

"I'll try to be quick."

Su Xiaoxiao's movements were very quick and decisive. It took her less than a quarter of an hour to finish the job. The boy's entire face turned red and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Half of it is painful, and half of it is embarrassing.

It was the first time in his life that a girl was so close to him, and she was treating his rotten wounds.

"Have a good rest and get on the carriage later."

She had asked the scarred man to transport three of the five carts of food and fodder back to the village for their families, which freed up three horse-drawn carriages to transport the wounded.

"What's your name?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"Zhang Yu."

After that, Su Xiaoxiao treated the rest of the wounded soldiers who needed urgent treatment one by one. Jing Yi and Fusu came to help her. Some of the less serious cases would be dealt with during the night rest period.

After the meal, everyone set off.

The scarred man gave up his position as the boss and respectfully called Su Xiaoxiao the new boss.

His name is Zhang Yong, and the short man who had just knelt in front of Su Xiaoxiao to beg for mercy was called Wei Xun.

Wei Xun was not good at martial arts, but he was literate and smart, and he had always been like a mentor in the village.

Su Xiaoxiao saw it.

In the evening, the army arrived at Yaocheng.

What was strange was that although it was still early, the city gates were already closed.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the car curtain and asked the scarred man beside her: "Zhang Yong, does Yaocheng usually close so early?"

As the former boss, Zhang Yong was fortunate enough to get a mount.

He tightened the reins and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "No, it will take another half an hour before the city gates are closed."

At this time, the guards on the tower also noticed the huge crowd of 2,000 people and asked immediately, "Who are you?"

Jing Yi looked at him and said coldly: "Let your general come out and speak!"

The guard immediately said, "How dare you! Who are you, a traitor, to be worthy of our general to come out to see you!"

Jing Yi looked back at Su Xiaoxiao, who nodded slightly.

Jing Yi said, "Jing Yi from the Mighty Marquisate!"

With so many troops, it is impossible to hide your identity.

The guard said, "Nonsense, the border has never received any news that the nobleman from the Marquis' Mansion is coming!"

Jing Yi said coldly: "Call Dou Xiao out!"

Hearing this person actually calling their general by his name, the guards were shocked. After hesitating for a while, they decided to pass the message.

Soon, a burly middle-aged general wearing a helmet climbed onto the city wall.

This person is Dou Xiao, Leng Kui's confidant.

He had seen Jing Yi before, and he recognized Jing Yi at a glance, with a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.

One of his men whispered something in his ear. He frowned and swept his cold eyes over the two thousand troops.

Then he asked, "Can the Third Prince come to the border?"

Jing Yi said truthfully: "No."

Su Xiaoxiao opened the curtain and walked out slowly: "Qin Su from the Protectorate Mansion."

Dou Xiao looked at her suspiciously for several times: "The eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion doesn't look like this."

Jing Yi said: "You don't know much about the situation in the capital. This girl is the real eldest daughter of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion."

Dou Xiao pointed at the two thousand soldiers and asked, "What's going on with those people behind you?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "These are the soldiers who came to join my grandfather."

Dou Xiao looked at this woman who could remain so calm even in front of the battle, and said calmly, "You can come in, and those people, stay."

"Let us stay? What do you mean? Are you saying we can't enter the city?"

"Then wouldn't it be a waste of our efforts to come here?"

"Dou Xiao is a bastard. He is just like the Leng family! The Leng family kicked us out, so he will definitely not take us back!"

Many of them have been cruelly abandoned and hurt, and are filled with insecurity.

They had just filled their stomachs, were they going to be left to starve and freeze again?

Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao, hoping that she would reject Dou Xiao.

But Su Xiaoxiao just said one word lightly: "Okay."

Everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

Zhang Yong didn't say anything, he just pulled the reins tightly.

The city gate was only half open, allowing Su Xiaoxiao's carriage to enter the city.

The first thing Jing Yi did after entering the city was to rush up to the city wall and capture Dou Xiao alive.

To catch a thief, first catch the leader. This trick works at any time.

Dou Xiao was furious: "You are rebelling!"

Jing Yi kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him coldly: "The situation at the border is so tense, but you are here trying every means to block the reinforcements, ignoring the safety of the people and the destruction of the country. Who is rebelling? Who gave you the courage? The current emperor is still Leng Kui!"

Dou Xiao had his face stepped on by Jing Yi and was unable to utter a word.

Su Xiaoxiao said to the soldiers on the tower: "I am here to recruit soldiers today! Don't worry, I am not going to fight my own people, my enemy is Northern Yan. If you are willing to follow me, I will give you twice the military pay of the court! If you don't want to follow me, go to the barracks to get tonight's rations."

Fusu shouted outside the city: "Enter the city! Enter the city! Hurry up and set up camp and start cooking!"

Sometimes what touches people’s hearts most is not the biggest temptation, but the kindest bottom line.

"Damn it! I've disliked Bei Yan for a long time!"

A sturdy man threw the big knife in his hand to the ground.

With someone taking the lead, the rest will be easy.

A young man took off his helmet and said, "We all risk our lives to make a living. I haven't received my salary for three months... Do you really have a salary?! Really?!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "I'll send it tonight."

Su Xiaoxiao recruited soldiers along the way, and when he approached Jia County, his army had grown from the original 2,000 people to 10,000.

This is good news. The bad news is that Northern Yan has already captured Suibei Pass, which is why Yaocheng closed the city gates in advance.

Jia County was captured by Northern Yan.

When the mighty army of 10,000 arrived in Jia County, County Magistrate Yuan thought that a new army from Northern Yan had arrived.

The people of Northern Yan also thought so. As far as they knew, the troops stationed at the Da Zhou Pass had already gone to fight in the two major cities, and there were no extra troops to mobilize.

It's impossible to say that it was reinforcements from the imperial court; it wouldn't happen so quickly.

This negligence caused Su Xiaoxiao's army to advance an additional 100 meters.

By the time they found out something was wrong, it was too late. Su Xiaoxiao had already led 10,000 troops to the city! 　Xiao Jingkong: I went to the battlefield when I was twelve! 　　Wei Chen: I went to the battlefield when I was ten! 　　Wei Xiaobao: Did I say anything? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
