Zuan: "???"
He was genuinely surprised; he never expected that this girl would actually utter the phrase, "The sun has risen in the west."
Seeing him staring at her in surprise, Qiao Xueying blushed and glared at him guiltily: "What are you looking at? I've already called out, tell me the answer now."
"I didn't hear what you shouted." A smile appeared on Zu'an's face.
"Are you kidding me?" Qiao Xueying was furious.
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +398!
Zuan hurriedly said, "I really didn't hear you clearly. Say it again and I'll tell you right away."
Qiao Xueying kept biting her lip, clearly struggling internally, but finally turned her face to the side: "Good brother..."
“Oh, my dear sister,” Zu An’s smug look made Qiao Xueying grit her teeth in anger. “Okay, actually the principle is very simple. If you’ve ever lived on the grasslands, you should know that horses on the grasslands are most afraid of field mouse holes. If you accidentally step into one, you’ll break your horse’s leg. Just now, those charging cavalrymen even covered their horses’ eyes to avoid being affected by my light. They couldn’t see the hole in the ground at all. Weren’t they just courting death?”
"Once the first group falls, the horses behind them, because they are charging so fast and their eyes are covered, simply cannot stop, so it creates a domino effect."
"You've lived on the grasslands? How do you know so much about these details?" Qiao Xueying asked suspiciously. According to the intelligence she gathered while infiltrating the Chu family, this guy couldn't possibly have been to the grasslands.
Zuan said with an arrogant look: "Good brother, I know everything from astronomy to geography. I can know everything in the world without leaving home."
In my past life, I knew all sorts of strange and unprofitable knowledge online, which was practically the basic etiquette of a keyboard warrior.
"Pah, shameless." A strange blush appeared on Qiao Xueying's cheeks. She thought to herself that she must have been bewitched just now to call this guy "good brother".
The rain of arrows quickly subsided, clearly the terracotta warriors realized they couldn't harm them in the slightest. The infantry in the front row began to move, advancing towards the two in orderly steps. Because they had to hold up their shields to defend against the unknown light, their movement was not very fast.
Zuan recalled those eloquent "famous generals" on the forums of his previous life, who mentioned that the best way to deal with infantry formations was to attack from the side or behind, aiming to disrupt their formation. Otherwise, even the most elite cavalry would suffer heavy losses if they faced well-prepared infantry head-on.
He looked around at the horses wandering about. The cavalry had just been wiped out, leaving many horses behind.
“Let’s ride around to their sides.” Zuan tied the horse’s reins to a long rope, then mounted the first horse. It must be said that although these horses were made of clay, they were no different from real steeds, and in some ways even more magnificent.
"Hurry up and get on the horse!" Seeing Qiao Xueying standing there blankly, Zu An hurriedly waved to her.
"Oh~" Qiao Xueying forced a smile, her face was a little pale, she walked over and tried to get on the horse, but suddenly she swayed and fell straight to the ground.
Fortunately, Zu'an had already noticed her abnormality and quickly jumped down to catch her: "What's wrong?"
Suddenly he felt something wet in his palm. He looked up and saw that it was covered in bright red blood. He quickly went behind her to examine her and found that half an arrow was stuck in her back, and her clothes were almost completely soaked in blood.
"Why didn't you say you were injured sooner? You even had the nerve to argue with me just now." Zu An hurriedly tore off a piece of clothing to cover her wound.
Qiao Xueying opened her mouth, but she didn't have the strength to refute her.
"Bear with it!" Zuan glanced at the infantry formation that was slowly approaching them, roughly estimated how long it would take for them to arrive, and then ripped open the back of her clothes.
"What...what are you doing?" Qiao Xueying was both shocked and angry, and struggled to get up.
"Don't move, let me pull the arrow out for you, otherwise the bleeding will never stop." Zuan picked up a knife from the ground, gently cut open a section of flesh at the wound, and took out the arrowhead buried inside.
"Hmm~" Qiao Xueying trembled all over, her face turned pale, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat.
As Zuan used a strip of cloth to patch her wound, he asked her, "Where is your wound medicine?"
His supplies were exhausted in the previous battles, but I saw that Qiao Xueying still had some.
“In my arms, but…” Before Qiao Xueying could finish speaking, Zu An reached into her clothes and started touching her.
"You!" Qiao Xueying raised her hand to hit him, but unfortunately she had no strength left.
"Stop with all that 'you, you, me, me,' we need to act quickly in this emergency. Besides, it's not like we haven't touched her before." As Zu'an spoke, he applied the healing medicine he had found to her wound and then quickly bandaged it with a strip of cloth.
Upon hearing his words, Qiao Xueying recalled the scene at the Chu family where the two of them had their clothes undressed, and a blush appeared on her originally pale cheeks.
"What a pity, this guy can't..."
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Qiao Xueying was startled, wondering what she was thinking.

I wrote half a chapter last night, and another half this morning. I barely left the hotel. My family is here on vacation, and I'm just here to suffer...
In addition, the word "horse-eye" is actually censored. I have no idea why. What does this word mean?
