Chapter 223 The Enemy Attacks
The man in black went towards Jiang Nanyuan. Seeing that Jiang Nanyuan's attention was not on him, he wanted to launch a sneak attack.
However, when he attacked Jiang Nanyuan, she was already on guard. Before he got close, Jiang Nanyuan dispersed the evil energy he was sending her, and at the same time, with her other hand, she took a long sword and stabbed it directly into his abdomen.
The man in black looked down at the long sword on his abdomen, and without reacting, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide open, and fell to the ground unwillingly.
Jiang Nanyuan saw him fall to the ground and checked the three people in the house, confirming that they were dead. Jiang Nanyuan and Xiao Yuchen searched the manor again, killing anyone they met. Finally, they found the Shangshu family, Li Wei and Zhao Hu in the secret cellar.
There were only two of them left inside; the rest were gone.
Jiang Nanyuan and Xiao Yuchen stepped forward and rescued the two men. They had wounds of all sizes on their bodies, and Jiang Nanyuan fed them some elixirs.
Then he directly teleported them into the illusion and asked Yue Li and others to help treat them.
The two were not in a hurry to leave. Jiang Nanyuan walked around the farm and put all the things in it into the space. Then he and Xiao Yuchen got some straw and set the place on fire.
This place was where Zhao Ling stayed before. It was not a good place, so burning it down would save trouble.
After doing this, Jiang Nanyuan and Xiao Yuchen left.
When Zhao Ling in the space saw that Jiang Nanyuan had actually rescued the person, she widened her eyes and looked incredulous.
How did they find the person? Aren't those men already dead? How did they still know the location?
Zhao Ling was tied up with a thunder and fire whip, and his mouth was stuffed with rags. He could neither move nor speak.
She really wanted to ask Jiang Nanyuan how she knew this, but Jiang Nanyuan ignored her.
He came in for a while and then left without talking to her at all.
Jiang Nanyuan and Xiao Yuchen returned to Daniu Village together. They went back to the house to rest together. As for Zhao Ling, Jiang Nanyuan ignored her for the time being and threw her into the illusion.
Xiao Liuzi and Wei Qingqing both hated her to the core and would definitely treat her well.
Jiang Nanyuan gave them this opportunity, as did Jiang Wenjin. He found Jiang Nanyuan the next day and told her that he wanted to go into the fantasy world.
Jiang Nanyuan didn't ask him what he was going to do inside. Since he wanted to go, let him go. There was nothing to do outside anyway.
Days like this passed one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed. During this year, Xiao Yuchen had been secretly recruiting and training private soldiers, just to take these soldiers and directly attack the capital.
On the other hand, Commander Hu from Western Qin also led tens of thousands of elite troops to attack Northern Rong. Western Qin had always been a vassal state of Northern Rong. Ji Mingzhe wanted to make friends with it and pay tribute every year to maintain peace between the two countries.
However, ever since he learned about Bai Ran and Xiao Yuchen, he couldn't swallow this anger. In the past, Xi Qin was a small country that needed to rely on Bei Rong, but in the past few years, Xi Qin has gradually grown stronger.
So this time, he asked Hu Tong to lead elite troops to attack Beirong.
In the past few days, the soldiers of Western Qin have almost reached An County. Now the people in An County are in panic, fearing that the soldiers of Western Qin will suddenly attack one day.
Li Deshun received the news early on, and he immediately sent someone on horseback to send a letter back in an urgent manner for 800 miles. However, the letter had been sent for almost half a year, and there was no response from the court.
This made Li Deshun very anxious.
In the past, Xiao Yuchen and the Lin family had been stationed at the border, forcing the enemy countries to not dare to enter.
Now that they are gone, it is obvious that the new generals are all useless. When they encounter a stronger enemy, they just run away without caring about the remaining soldiers.
As a result, Commander Hu easily accepted these surrendered soldiers.
In fact, the people who suffer the most in war are the common people.
When Xiao Yuchen and Jiang Nanyuan learned that the enemy was about to attack, they did not show any sign of panic.
On this day, Jiang Nanyuan and Bai Ran were playing with their two children in the yard when a carriage suddenly arrived outside their house. Their door was not closed. Huanhuan, with her sharp eyes, was the first to see the carriage outside. She walked towards the door, still shouting, "Car, car."
Xiao Yuchen came out of the house and saw Huanhuan walking towards the door alone. He strode to the door, picked up Huanhuan, and then looked outside.
Seeing Li Deshun getting off the carriage, he got off the carriage anxiously. Seeing Xiao Yuchen standing at the door holding the child, he walked quickly into the house.
"Ninth Prince."
Xiao Yuchen nodded and let him in. Seeing his anxious expression, he was afraid that he had something to say this time.
"What brings you here this time, Lord Li?"
Li Deshun followed Xiao Yuchen into the house. Seeing Jiang Nanyuan and Bai Ran there, he nodded to them and then told them the purpose of his visit today.
"Ninth Prince, the truth is, as you should have heard, I have submitted a memorial to the Emperor, but he has yet to respond. This humble servant would like to ask, Ninth Prince, how should this matter be handled?"
Li Deshun hesitated for a long time before deciding to make this trip. After all, the Ninth Prince no longer cared about these matters, and he really couldn't bear to see the people in the county being displaced.
Especially since their county town has just started to recover.
Xiao Yuchen didn't expect that he came to him because of this. In fact, he had known the news a long time ago. He was also fully aware that Commander Hu was leading his troops to attack.
"Master Li, you don't have to worry too much. Even if the enemy attacks, it won't be a big deal. You just need to do your job well.
You don't have to worry too much about the people and the county. Even if the enemy attacks, I can assure you that they will never do anything harmful to the people.
Go back and reassure the people in the county."
Ji Mingzhe had written to him before and learned that they were still here and had not left.
Before Commander Hu brought his men over, he wrote them a letter, informing them that when Commander Hu arrived, all the soldiers on hand would be handed over to Xiao Yuchen for management and would be under his full authority.
So even if Commander Hu came with his troops to attack, they would not go too far. They might even not attack the people in the county town, but would come directly to him.
Li Deshun felt very strange when he heard what Xiao Yuchen said, but since Xiao Yuchen said so, there was no better way.
Then do as he says, and he will go back to appease the people in the county.
Otherwise, the people in the county would be in a panic, worrying about when the attack would come and whether they could defend their county.
