After listening, Ning Che set aside the Jin army's deployment and carefully inquired about Ning Xi'er's appearance of the young man in the main tent.
Ning Che's expression was solemn, and Ning Xi'er dared not be careless.
The text describes in detail the height, facial features, and other physical characteristics of the leading man.
Every few words Ning Xi'er uttered, Ning Che's eyelids drooped slightly.
"I never expected this..."
Ning Che suddenly sighed, "The Jin Kingdom has actually sent its crown prince again..."
Ning Xi'er keenly noticed the two keywords: "again" and "Crown Prince".
Realizing what was happening, she asked in a low voice, "The Crown Prince? The young man is the Crown Prince of Jin?!"
Ning Che sighed and nodded.
Ning Xi'er's description is detailed and should be accurate.
He had met this crown prince of Jin several times.
Long ago, when the Jin state delegation was sent to the Great Yan, this Crown Prince disguised himself as an envoy and infiltrated the group...
They entered the territory of Great Yan via the northern border between Jin and Yan.
Ning Che's team was responsible for checking the situation of the mission personnel and escorting them for a part of the journey.
The Crown Prince's demeanor was so outstanding that Ning Che couldn't forget him even if he wanted to.
Even though the other party was only dressed in ordinary envoy attire at the time.
Subsequently, the Yan and Jin sides had several frictions over the issue of border patrol.
Ning Che was in charge of negotiating with the other party, but he knew that the person coordinating and handling things behind the scenes was actually the Crown Prince.
After several encounters, Ning Che gained a certain understanding of the crown prince's talent and personality.
He was six years younger than Ning Che, but he was already someone Ning Che dared not underestimate.
Their battle plans and tactics were in no way inferior to Ning Che's...
But in terms of strategy, the other side seems to have the upper hand...
They were more accurate and experienced in calculating the will of generals.
This may be related to the national conditions of the State of Jin and the way the successor was trained.
The state of Jin was founded on horseback.
After the crown prince was appointed, in addition to strengthening moral education, more emphasis was placed on strengthening practical combat training.
The other princes of Jin, based on their own characteristics and preferences, specialized in one area...
With a clear objective, he can utilize his strengths to assist the Crown Prince in the future.
The other crown princes did not study theories of power politics and strategy, resulting in far less internal strife within the imperial court compared to the states of Yan and Qi.
Ning Che sensed that seizing grain tonight would be a difficult task.
But if we miss tonight's opportunity, morale will plummet after tomorrow, and we'll have to rebuild...
The difficulty will increase significantly.
Ning Xi'er suggested to Ning Che, "Brother, we're short-handed..."
Otherwise, I'll go invisible tonight and empty the Jin army's granaries...
Back at the military camp, the results were the same...
Ning Che's gaze softened as he looked at Ning Xi'er.
How could they be the same...?
The Jin army made no move, and suddenly the granary was robbed...
It has no deterrent effect.
Ning Che's twenty men returned to their camp without making a move...
The other soldiers naturally noticed something was amiss, but it still had no effect on boosting morale...
If that's the case, what's the difference between emptying General Jin's granary and taking it directly from Ning Xi'er's space?
If Ning Xi'er's previous suggestion had been accepted, the Jin army's provisions would have been completely emptied without warning...
Ning Che wasn't concerned about saving face; as a general, he was helpless and had to rely entirely on his sister...
Rather, he had a guess in his mind, though it was unconfirmed, but he didn't want to take the risk.
His gaze swept over Ning Xi'er's injured shoulder...
The arts and techniques of the Jin state were renowned throughout the world.
Although Ning Xi'er downplayed it, stating directly that the Taoist priest who injured her was hired by Ning Yuan and Ning An...
But Ning Che's first thought was of the magic arts of the Jin Dynasty.
This Taoist priest may have come from the State of Jin.
Further investigation and confirmation are needed to determine the details.
Prior to this, it was especially confirmed that the opposing commander was the Crown Prince of Jin, and that he was surrounded by many talented and capable individuals...
Ning Che did not want his sister to suffer any further harm before the situation was fully investigated.
Ning Xi'er was naturally unaware of these considerations.
Night had fallen completely.
Although Ning Che was the commander, he was not arrogant or self-willed.
Especially given the current limited manpower.
He noticed that his younger sister had grown and matured a lot, so he also regarded Ning Xier as a companion and had serious discussions with her.
Ning Che suggested that Ning Xi'er create a disturbance outside the military camp, using a feint to lure the enemy away from their position...
Ning Che led his men in a surprise attack on the granary, and left immediately after succeeding.
Ning Xi'er, however, felt something was amiss. She had just gone to investigate and discovered that the Jin army's defenses were tight, and the granary was quite close to the main camp...
Even if they manage to break through and get close to the granary, they may not be able to escape smoothly.
Utilizing space might be feasible.
Ning Che had no choice but to explain to Ning Xi'er the powerful aspects of Jin's magic, fearing unforeseen circumstances and potential dangers...
We hope to reveal our spatial abilities as little as possible before we confirm that it is safe to do so.
"Since we can't take it with us, we might as well..."
Ning Xi'er's gaze was intense as she looked into Ning Che's eyes, which shone brightly.
"Burn it! Everyone, don't eat it!"
Ning Che's eyes lit up.
Indeed, compared to breaching the granary's defenses and taking the supplies...
It is easier to ignite and does not require close contact...
