Zheng Quchi looked at her with an expression that said society was too complicated and she wanted to go back to the countryside: "Can't I even tell the truth?"
"Then let the apprentice tell the truth as well."
Seeing Gan Xin's slightly narrowed gaze and serious expression, she asked, "What?"
"The Ye army is going to lose."
Zheng Quchi's pupils constricted instantly. She turned her head and looked towards Shuangfei Pass. The battle situation was relatively clear. There was no stalemate of "bayonet fighting" or "sword-drawing" when they met on a narrow path. Instead, it was a strange state that she couldn't understand.
The Ye army... is retreating?!
When faced with the fierce attack from the Beiyuan army, they did not put up a strong resistance. Instead, they decisively abandoned Shuangfei Pass. After the gate was breached by the enemy with battering rams, the Ye army seemed to be afraid of the enemy. The main force abandoned the position and quickly moved back, running towards the mountains.
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened: "That's not right, where are Yuwen Sheng and the others? Why are there only so few troops guarding the pass?"
Gan Xin looked at her: "Master, do you think they might have another plan?"
"I'm not quite sure. Do you think we could follow behind and take a look?" She asked Gan Xin expectantly.
Gan Xin lowered his eyes and met her pair of bright, vibrant eyes, full of lush green growth.
"Are you still going?"
The words Gongshu Jiruo spoke before leaving were unpleasant to hear, but they were also the truth. Under the light, she shone brightly, like a light absorber, dazzling wherever she was placed.
"Did I come out in this gear just to see nothing? I want to see the result with my own eyes."
Gan Xin knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he tore off his black cloak and draped it over her head: "If you wear this properly, Master, I will take you to chase after them. Although we don't take the same route as them, we can still catch up by taking a roundabout way."
Zheng Quchi suddenly realized that he, like Gongshu Jiruo, thought her clothes were too "attractive".
Zheng Quchi looked down at himself, somewhat indignant.
To be honest, because she wore ill-fitting armor during the last military exercise between the six kingdoms, which hindered her movement, she was essentially "naked" in a dangerous situation for a long time afterward.
After being seriously injured in the pursuit by the Julu Kingdom led by Mo Ye, she regretted that she had no sense of danger and had not made a set of protective gear that was her own and suitable for her in advance. Otherwise, she would not have been so badly injured when the reinforcements arrived.
Later, she learned from her past mistakes and used the highest quality materials on herself. They were thinner and lighter than ordinary chainmail and scale armor, but more durable. Usually, such heavily armored soldiers have four parts: helmet, breastplate, skirt armor, and greaves. But she had additional nose guards, cheek guards, and iron boots. Moreover, her torso was forged into one piece, making her both stylish and perfectly armed.
She is very satisfied with herself now.
The only unavoidable thing is that once the silver steel material is made into a smooth surface, it is easy to refract light. In a bright light, it is also easy to focus and reflect light, making it quite conspicuous from a distance. But she thought that she was not going to carry out an assassination, but to participate in the war, so she should be open and aboveboard.
But now things seem to be going differently than she expected.
She accepted Gan Xin's "filial piety." He was skilled in martial arts and didn't feel cold even in the dead of winter with his arms and legs exposed. Losing a cloak wouldn't be a big deal for him.
"Do you think Gongshu Ji Ruo is planning something behind the scenes because he left in such a hurry?"
Gan Xin saw that she pursed her lips, frowned and pondered, as if she was beginning to regret letting Gongshu Jiruo and the others leave so easily. If Gongshu Jiruo hadn't run away quickly and made a timely decision, she would probably have been tied up by now.
"If he really brings out those things made by the Gongshu family to strengthen the average garrison at Shuangfei Pass, the Ye army will probably have a hard time dealing with them." He spoke another honest truth.
Zheng Quchi glanced at him, thinking that this man, who was usually quiet, really should say less, lest he cause people distress.
"Don't embolden others; our side is just as strong."
Your tone of rebuttal is a little weak now.
Gan Xin knew that she didn't understand military affairs, or rather, she wasn't good at troop deployment, troop deployment, or arranging large teams to deal with emergencies and unexpected events in a timely manner. She had been on the battlefield once, but she relied mainly on her advanced predictive ability and surprise attack, rather than truly utilizing military deployment and combat power.
Yuwen Sheng was an expert in this area; in fact, he was already an expert. Therefore, Gan Xin still had reservations about this battle.
Although it was a battle with a lopsided outcome that anyone with eyes could see, who says there is no chance of turning the tide in this world?
He hoped everything would go as his master wished. She poured all her ambitions into the infrastructure of Ye Kingdom. If the borders of Ye Kingdom were unstable and Ye Kingdom was in danger at any time, then she would not be able to concentrate on her ardent career, but would be tied to this poor and remote borderland and waste her time and energy.
"Anyway, let's follow them and see what's going on."
——
Gan Xin moved with the speed of a deer, hurrying along the mountain peaks and through the forests, carrying Zheng Quchi, who was like a pendant.
Fortunately, although Zheng Quchi was small and a woman, she had extraordinary strength and endurance. The two of them were basically running and flying, without stopping all the way. They tracked the Ye army's movements from a high place. This may be difficult, but it was not difficult for Gan Xin.
He possessed not only the speed of a tiger but also the keen eyesight of an eagle, and they pursued him relentlessly from a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
However, since the routes are different, there will always be processes of intersection, disappearance, and concealment. But as long as the destination of the other party is deduced, the other processes of disappearance can be ignored.
