Wang Ling gave up staying in the barracks, and power returned to the hands of Tiemian, Ji Lao and other generals. They ordered the army to rest for a few days, and patrols and guards were strict, and flies flying into Fujikawa would be stopped.

Now, even if Xia Xiao had the ability to conceal his aura, he couldn't get in under the personal guard of the Qulun Realm and the many practitioners. But this was also within Xia Xiao's expectations. After all, he only wanted to raid twice. The chance of failure for the third time was too high, and there was no chance of winning at all. It would be better to sleep at home. But Nan Shang didn't know what he was thinking. He was extremely nervous every day and felt very tired.

Compared with the spirit and vigor of the Southern Merchants, the morale of the Great Xia has been maintained very well. The Xia family army that was coming that day was ordered to line up outside, waiting for the fast and brave soldiers coming from the northeast.

The sun rose slowly in the east, and a large army galloped under it on time. When it came, it was like a huge wave of sunlight, and it seemed to keep raising the horizon, which made the soldiers excited and even wanted to join them. But when they saw how tired this army was walking in the sunlight, they didn't want to be one of them, but only admired them. It was really fast to get here from the distant northern border in seven days.

The middle-aged man in the lead had red eyes, bloodshot and a few black spots, but it did not affect his steady and heroic demeanor. Seeing him and the young man next to him, Xia Xiao smiled, but felt more distressed. His father and elder brother were always moved by Daxia, and this patriotic ambition was also the reason why he insisted on leaving the academy and coming to the battlefield.

The horse's hooves stomped like meteors and flying swallows, and stopped in front of Lin Tian and Xia Xiao. At that moment, the adjutant and the two dusty generals immediately dismounted and saluted, but Lin Tian held their arms to stop them.

"You two have come all the way here with your troops, so please do not be too polite."

"As a general of Daxia, I have the duty to defend my country. I am just a little late. I hope you will forgive me, General."

"Quickly, excuse me."

Xia Jinghong was very stubborn. He had to perform this ceremony, even though it was considered excessive humility in the eyes of outsiders. But he was paying respects to not only Lin Tian and other generals, but also the good men of Daxia who sacrificed their lives, and all those who silently contributed their meager efforts.

The Xia family army finally arrived here as they wished, and they finally felt relieved. Moreover, from what they learned, the battlefield ahead was not that tragic, and they were not too late. They breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension finally relaxed. They were exhausted from traveling all night, and some of them fainted.

Such situations were not uncommon, leaving the frontline soldiers dumbfounded and at a loss. In comparison, they were still lucky on the front line, at least they didn't have to travel day and night. It was hard to imagine how hard it was to travel on horseback for more than six days, almost seven days. The perseverance and power of this army were even more frightening.

"My soldiers are too tired and are being laughed at by everyone."

That being said, who dares to laugh? And this is not a funny thing in itself, there is only awe, and besides awe, there is a bit of eager expectation. Only a few soldiers fainted, and the rest still firmly pulled the reins and stood on the side of the horse. This army of far more resolute than ordinary people will definitely be able to exert combat power beyond the imagination of ordinary people on the battlefield.

However, there is no need to rush to see their fighting power, as we will see it on the battlefield. It is better to rest early for now.

"General Jinghong, we have prepared food and hot water. Please eat and rest early. We will discuss the war in the evening."

"Okay, thank you, General."

Lin Tian personally led the Xia family army to the camp prepared for them. Along the way, someone led the horses and gave way to them when walking. This army, which had been in the northern border for a long time and was almost forgotten, was greatly respected by the soldiers on the front line of the war, and was even a little flattered.

This feeling, the spaciousness of the tent, and the size and quantity of the meat in the bowl made them satisfied, and even felt a sense of pride from the bottom of their hearts. A large tent could accommodate 30 people, which was already very good for ordinary soldiers. As for the meat in the bowl, it was generous and refreshing enough.

When some of the Xia family soldiers began to pack their simple luggage, Xia Xiaozheng and Xia Xu walked side by side on the road. A small fist bump showed the emotions of the two brothers who had not seen each other for a long time. They followed their father and Lin Tian and entered the account.

"This is General Jinghong's office, and the tent on the side is for General Jinghong and General Xia Xu to rest."

"General, we are old friends, there is no need to be so polite."

"Okay, I won't accompany you anymore. You guys chat. If you need anything, feel free to come to me."

After Lin Tian led his men away, Xia Jinghong asked his calm adjutant to look after the soldiers, and then went to rest, while he and his two sons entered the tent. Ah Zhu felt a little embarrassed, so he bowed and left first. Seeing this, Xia Xu looked at him a few more times and said with a smile:

"This girl has a nice figure and face, and her hair color is particularly bright."

"Brother, are you jealous?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm a married man. I'm just helping you look for someone."

"Sister Huiyue agreed?"

"She'll have to agree sooner or later. When I finish this battle and return with success, I'll hand her the marriage certificate. How dare she refuse?"

"She might actually dare."

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to persuade her."

Xia Xiao smiled a few times and hugged his elder brother and father who had taken off their armor. Because they had traveled all night, the wrinkles on his father and elder brother's faces were a little heavier, and they seemed to have become older. But when he thought about it, the last time they met was when his second sister got married. Time flies.

The two men took off their clothes and soaked in the wooden barrel without any hesitation, and wolfed down the delicious food. The whole family ate the same way, except when they were free, they usually ate like crazy. But this was also to save time, they really needed time to rest now.

"Xiao'er, we have all heard about your deeds during this period. Father is proud of you. You are really great. Next, it's time for us to fight together."

"With my current strength, I will finally not be a drag on my father and elder brother."

"When the army recovers its spirit, I will introduce them to you. These 50,000 people are the elites of our Xia Army."

Xia Xiao nodded and chatted again. Two of them were taking a bath, and one of them was crossing his legs. They didn't look like three fathers and sons, but a gang of black men. The fierceness between their faces seemed to crush anyone they didn't like. It wasn't difficult to do it with the strength of the three of them. After all, except for the powerful men outside the military camp, they could walk sideways.

The topic seemed very heavy because it was about murder and conspiracy, but none of the things they were facing were easy.

After everything was packed, Xia Xiao was ready to go out, but Xia Jinghong, who was lying on the bed, asked:

"Then Ah Zhu, what do you think?"

Xia Xiao didn't know why his father asked this, but when they looked at each other, he seemed to understand, so he shrugged and said nothing more. After knowing Xia Xiao's feelings, Xia Jinghong felt relieved. As long as he could let go of Shu Shuang, it would be fine. But fate often played tricks on people.

Xia Jinghong fell asleep quickly, venting all his hard work of the past few days on the bed. Xia Xu stayed by his side, but he was snoring loudly after just two minutes.

There was only the sound of relaxed snoring on one side of the huge Daxia military camp, while the rest of the place was functioning normally as usual. However, because of the arrival of this army, Daxia felt more confident, as if it had added another row of bricks to the tall wall that was used to resist the Southern Merchants. Although this change was relatively small for the General Administration, even one more brick could better resist the arrows of the Southern Merchants.

The soldiers were smaller and felt that they had a sure win, but Lin Tian and other generals were thinking about whether they should retreat directly after the next confrontation and make plans in Xiyang City. If this opportunity is missed, it will be a loss of troops and generals. Although the emperor has approved this strategic shift, there is no fixed time. The counselors counted the time with their fingers, waiting for the next war to break out. That day is not too late. Both sides are very tacit and have decided on the day after tomorrow.

During the short period of peace, Xia Xiao sat cross-legged in front of the tent, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, and habitually filled Yewen with energy when his own energy was full. He was as calm as usual, because he had suppressed his excitement of seeing his father and elder brother, but Ah Zhu was difficult to calm down. She practiced for a while and waited for Xia Xiao to wake up. Seeing him open his eyes, Ah Zhu immediately ran over.

"How did I perform today?"
