Kong Xiu spoke calmly and slowly, “One of the newly appointed military supervisors in the desolate realm is one of my men.”
Ning Xi'er was astonished.
As expected of Kong Xiu!
They even managed to set up operations in the desolate wilderness!
I discussed this with Xie Zhun before; the desolate area, though seemingly barren, wasn't exactly a dangerous location...
However, due to Xie Zhun's presence, it became a stronghold for the power struggles within the court...
They all wanted to get rid of Xie Zhun first and then surrender to the Crown Prince or other princes.
Unexpectedly, in such a short time, Kong Xiu managed to find an opportunity to place his own people in.
Even though no one approached the study, Kong Xiu still lowered his voice and uttered a name.
As she lowered her head slightly, Ning Xi'er caught a whiff of crisp pine wood.
But in an instant, as Kong Xiu stood up, the fragrance faded...
Vanished into thin air.
Kong Xiu's other statement was, "Call me Kong Xiu."
It wasn't until Ning Xi'er disappeared into the shadows that they suddenly realized something was wrong.
Kong Xiuzhi was already like family to the Shen family.
Since he is his aunt's sweetheart, isn't it disrespectful to call him by his first name?
Ning Xi'er originally planned to leave Zheng Ye in the space temporarily to help her sister-in-law arrange accommodation.
He had more than enough space to lead troops into battle, reorganize military camps, and arrange a courtyard...
However, during her conversation with Kong Xiu, Ning Xi'er further realized that in times of crisis, human effort is often insufficient...
Especially since the two elder brothers were stationed in the northern frontier, which was far from Xie Zhun's desolate territory...
Even if there is a helicopter that can arrive quickly, in case of an emergency, waiting for her to come and go to provide support could easily cause delays.
Training Zheng Ye, Xuan Feng, and others is of utmost urgency.
The capital city remained under martial law. Before nightfall, the streets were filled with imperial guards carrying swords on patrol.
Very few people remained on the streets; the entire city was filled with a tense atmosphere.
The contrast with the usual bustling crowds and lively atmosphere is striking.
Ning Xi'er concealed herself and quickly ran from the outskirts of the city out of the city gate...
Once the pedestrians were out of sight, they quickly dispatched fast horses and galloped to the mountaintop where the helicopter had landed...
After deploying the helicopter and Zheng Ye, Ning Xi'er, based on the location of northern Xinjiang provided by Zheng Ye, called Zheng Ye aside and personally taught him how to operate the display screen...
Control the helicopter to take off.
Zheng Ye was overjoyed. "Now, this helicopter is mine?"
After riding it a few times, Zheng Ye not only learned that it was called a helicopter, but also knew the secret of its takeoff, all contained in the control panel in Ning Xi'er's hands.
Ning Xi'er retorted, "My family has all been rescued?"
Zheng Ye chuckled sheepishly, remembering that his trip was for Ning Xi'er's two older brothers.
Seeing his reaction, Ning Xi'er didn't forget to offer a little something extra, saying, "Brothers, there might be trouble here..."
Originally, I wanted to finish this quickly and get my family back to the wilderness as soon as possible...
But looking at it now, there seem to be many difficulties. And in the future, perhaps even more...
You need to learn how to fly this helicopter as soon as possible, so that if I can't get back in time, you can help me out...
Let's split up and do it..."
Upon hearing Ning Xi'er's words, Zheng Ye's expression instantly turned serious.
The helicopter has already taken off; it is not advisable to change the parameters on the control panel at this time.
Zheng Ye asked Ning Xi'er if there were any other control panels in the space that he could use for practice.
Yes, of course.
Seeing his proactive approach to learning, Ning Xi'er accessed the backup control panel and, starting from startup, explained each button and parameter...
Zheng Ye disliked studying from a young age, but he was extremely quick to learn things he was interested in, such as weapons.
Although he couldn't actually operate the backup controller, after adjusting it a few times, he could roughly understand how to control the helicopter to take off.
Ning Xi'er further explained flight safety knowledge; what she wanted wasn't for Zheng Ye to know how to "handle" this "big guy"—the helicopter...
Instead, they will be able to be delivered safely and smoothly to their destination, and like her, they may have to undertake many other missions to transport people in the future...
The slightest mistake could result in a crash and loss of life.
Zheng Ye didn't say anything, but his attitude became increasingly serious.
Time flew by while I was tutoring Ning Xi'er; before long, the yellow-green vegetation disappeared from view...
Instead, there is only endless yellow sand.
We're almost in Northern Xinjiang.
When countless black dots, like ants, appear in the vast Gobi Desert...
They moved towards the heart of the Great Yan region, following the clearly defined border line.
Ning Xi'er lowered the helicopter's altitude before she could make out...
The ground was covered with countless small figures, which turned out to be a pedestrian moving slowly.
Ning Xi'er tapped the display screen and zoomed in to view the features, which allowed her to clearly identify the characteristics of these people.
They were all emaciated and dressed in tattered clothes, numbly leading their children and carrying bundles on their backs, the bundles barely able to hold anything...
It looks like...
"Fleeing famine? They're fleeing famine?"
Zheng Ye exclaimed in surprise and immediately stood up, "Is a war about to break out?"
He quickly stood by the porthole, peering through the glass at the surrounding border...
