The Southern Kingdom and Shelie armies had already made way, but Xie Helin stepped forward, which puzzled many soldiers. They felt that the general had been acting strangely during this period, and they didn't know why. However, Xie Helin's face was livid. Although he was not arrogant, he was still a little shocked. He felt that Xia Xiao was in the way, so he wanted to hold him accountable. But a hand beside him slapped him heavily on the shoulder, causing his body to tilt and sink, and his feet immediately sank into the ground.

"If you don't let me, don't blame me for being rude!"

The earth element's vitality was as heavy as a mountain, and Xia Xu's eyes were fierce. In fact, they could have taken a detour, but when they should not give in, they did not give in at all! The Xia family had suffered too much, and there was no reason for them to suffer such nameless anger now. Besides, how could a person who had embarrassed Xie Yi and Xia Wan be worthy of his humility as the eldest brother?

Xie Helin's strength was not the strongest in the Southern Kingdom's army, but even if he did something wrong, the practitioners of the same country should stand up. But before they left the team, Lin Tian had arrived. As the commander of the alliance army, Lin Tian had enough strength and momentum. When he landed in front of the city, he immediately shocked everyone. He walked to Xie Helin and whispered:

“Get out of the way!”

Lin Tian still gave Xie Helin face, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation. The latter looked at Xia Xiao on the lion's back and was once again shocked by his influence. Is this Xia Xiao who came from afar? Since Lin Tian had personally taken action, he really didn't care about his face. But what Xie Helin didn't know was that Si Yi would also come forward.

No matter how unhappy he was, Xie Helin had no choice but to walk aside and watch the Xia family quickly head towards the city.

When they were in the South, Xie Helin wanted to embarrass Xia Wan, but the latter stayed in her own little corner and did not give him any chance. Now that Xia Xiao was gone, they should withdraw their troops. Because as the defending party, as long as they stopped the soldiers outside the city, they would have achieved their goal.

Xie Helin vowed to raise an army to hold the culprit accountable, and in the name of the Southern Kingdom's soldiers, he ran to Si Yi and demanded an explanation.

"Xia Xiao violated military discipline so much, but His Majesty did not hold him accountable?"

Si Yi didn't know why Xie Helin had been arguing with Xia Xiao. Although he knew they had conflicts, and he had been defeated by Xia Xiao in front of many ministers of the Southern Kingdom, he had made a fool of himself. But as a prince and a general of a country, how could he be so narrow-minded? He was still forcing himself to make trouble at this time, which was really unbearable.

"Your Majesty, our Southern Kingdom's archery team has been waiting for a long time, but the plan was disrupted by a kid. I beg for an explanation. This matter today must not be let go easily!"

"What do you want to do with him?"

Si Yi was obviously angry, and his tone of voice had changed a lot, but Xie Helin still insisted:

"Beating him with the cane thirty times will serve as a warning to all the soldiers!"

Standing on the top of the city wall, Si Yi looked to the west. No soldiers had appeared there for a long time. They must have been shocked by Xia Xiao. But it was better to delay it. Now the Great Xia Alliance was in a bit of chaos because of Xie Helin's arrival. Hearing him say the above words, Si Yi snorted extremely coldly.

"What's wrong with what Xia Xiao did? Why should he be beaten? As a member of Da Xia, even though he was exhausted, he still tried to make Nan Shang lose troops, and he even broke into the enemy camp alone. Besides, I informed you in advance, how can I explain to you? Besides, without him, do you know how much the Southern Kingdom and Shelie Army would have lost? You are young, not yet mature, but you have taken on such a heavy responsibility. I don't know what your monarch thinks, but whether it is a personal grudge or a public grudge, you should not be so rude."

"If you think Xia Xiao made a mistake, you can do the same thing as him next time Nan Shang comes. If you can do it, Xia Xiao is at your disposal, but if you can't, or you don't have the courage, just do your job well. Also, although the main force of the alliance is Da Xia, you are not fighting for Da Xia now, but for Nan Guo. So keep your thoughts to yourself. If it is exposed, you will be despised. If it gets to the ears of your monarch, your position will be even more difficult to keep. Take care of yourself!"

Si Yi's words made Xie Helin's heart tremble, and he was extremely afraid. The former's lowered tone at the end saw through his thoughts. Xie Helin thought he had covered it up well, but he didn't expect Si Yi's observation to be so sharp. He didn't lose his composure, but knelt on one knee and said:

"I understand your Majesty's intention."

There was no point in saying more at this moment, so Xie Helin turned and left. Su Zhongmou looked at his departing figure, took a step forward, and whispered:

"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate?"

"If I can't even protect my ministers who have worked so hard for me, what's the point of being an emperor? Besides, that person is Xia Xiao."

Although Si Yi is young, he is sensible. Eunuch Mu spent more than ten years teaching him the way of the emperor, and he has made a wise ruler. His efforts have not been in vain. But looking west again, the southern merchants over there are racking their brains, thinking about what went wrong, so that the Shenwei Army suffered such a heavy loss. It has been four months since the Shenwei Army participated in the battle. Although there are more than 200,000 casualties, they have taken away twice or even more soldiers of the Daxia Alliance. This is the first time that they have returned empty-handed.

Nan Shang planned to attack with his army, but Si Yi was still worried about the imperial army. Nan Shang was the enemy, no matter how many people came, they had to fight for their lives, this was the only choice. The imperial army was his companion, but he was out of control, which made him feel difficult.

More importantly, the imperial army is now likely to harm its own people. Si Yi has difficulty solving this problem, and Xia Xiao is also quite worried, so much so that he loses his mind.

In the pharmacy, an elderly doctor was straightening Xia Xiao's bones. His old, wrinkled hands slid across Xia Xiao's smooth skin, kneading it and then twisting it quickly, straightening Xia Xiao's palm. The brief, intense pain made Xia Xiao frown, but not as exaggerated as Ah Zhu's.

"I'm here, I'm here, it's okay!"

Ah Zhu's tone was like coaxing a child. She felt that since she was with Xia Xiao, she had to act like she was with him. But she learned this way of coaxing people from her grandmother. Ah Zhu had a good physique and had never been sick since she was a child. Her grandmother often said that she was easy to raise. But when she was a child, she was naughty and jumped around. Once she fell and got a scratch, she would cry. When her grandmother saw this, no matter what she was doing, she would immediately put down her work, wipe her hands and pick her up.

That was a scene deep in Ah Zhu's memory. She was fine after a little coaxing, and the pain in her body was gone. But it didn't work for Xia Xiao, who even looked at her in surprise and asked:

"What are you doing?"

"I'll stay with you, so you won't feel any pain."

"Calm down for a while, thinking about something."

Ah Zhu made a face, as if to say, "Why are you so arrogant?" But she still kept her mouth shut and watched the old doctor apply ointment to Xia Xiao. If you want to get better quickly, you can't do without these things. But Xia Xiao frowned and frowned, thinking about how the leader of the imperial army would deal with him. He did disobey the orders of the imperial army, but he also made a contribution. However, merit is something that depends on how it is defined, so it is not safe yet.

Xia Xiao's eyes were extremely deep, staring at the corner of the window. There was a spider and a small insect whose name he could not remember. The insect kept approaching the spider web, and soon sensed the danger, so it chose to take a detour. But when it found the spider web, its legs and feet were bound by it, and it was difficult to get rid of it. The spider hiding on one side of the spider web followed it, slowly approached from behind, and opened its bloody mouth towards it.

Watching the little bug struggling and finally stopping, Xia Xiao suddenly thought of himself. The moment he saw the leader of the imperial army, he had fallen into the latter's net. This net seemed fragile and not very powerful, but it was difficult to break free. Xia Xiao seemed unrestrained, but when he really wanted to do something, he might find that he had been fixed by the big net and could not do anything.

The leader of the imperial army was very likely to be like that spider, constantly approaching him. But his strength meant that he didn't need to attack from behind, because he could come from all directions, like a strong wind on the river, without any obstruction.

"alright."

The old doctor had finished his work, and Xia Xiao, who had been thinking for a long time, came to his senses. He smiled and thanked the old doctor, and then noticed Ah Zhu under the window.

This clever girl who could never stop looking in his direction, her eyes dull and her pouting look extremely cute. Xia Xiao couldn't help but smile at her dazed look, then waved to attract her attention.

"All right?"

Azhu ran over and saw Xia Xiao nod and then walked out the door.

"I'll make you chicken feet tonight. You'll get what you need from eating."

"Both my hands are broken and wrapped like dumplings. How can I eat them?"

Even though Xia Xiao's pitch-black knife was held by Ah Zhu, it was obvious that Xia Xiao was seriously injured. However, she was in high spirits and said:

"I'll feed you!"
