Approaching the Imperial Guard camp, nothing unusual was found...
The patrol was conducted as before, with no additional personnel deployed.
Perhaps due to his elder brother and Xie Zhun's repeated reminders about the power of the Jin state's sorcerers...
Although Ning Xi'er came alone, she was on high alert.
Because it was invisible, there was no movement around it whatsoever...
Ning Xi'er went straight to the main tent...
During the journey, Ning Xi'er felt a slight vibration in the air, whether it was her imagination or not, which made her highly alert.
When we were only four or five steps away from the main tent entrance, this sense of crisis reached an unprecedented level.
Perhaps it was instinct, but just as she was about to take a step, Ning Xi'er withdrew her foot...
A faint oscillation of airflow could be heard in the air.
Ning Xi'er couldn't help but become more vigilant.
He turned around and backed away...
Seemingly sensing her retreat, the air current swept towards Ning Xi'er with lightning speed!
Almost simultaneously, perhaps out of instinct or intuition, Ning Xi'er flashed into the space...
A Jin army soldier who was passing by was brought in along with them, and Ning Xi'er casually pulled him in!
Even with her quick reflexes, in the brief moment of escape, half of Ning Xi'er's arm felt as if it had been branded with a hot iron...
A sharp, piercing pain shot through Ning Xi'er as she turned her head to find her entire arm and back stained crimson with blood.
The space was filled with medicinal powder, rendering the soldiers unable to move.
Fortunately, the family was worried about their mother and stayed in the courtyard; even the children didn't come out.
Ning Xi'er quickly brought the soldiers into the medical space, controlled them, and then quickly bandaged and applied medicine before changing her clothes.
Then they interrogated the soldiers to find out who had come to the camp and who had set up such a powerful formation.
Before Ning Xi'er went in, there was indeed no change visible to the naked eye.
I just felt the power, and I also felt my injury...
One cannot help but associate the Jin army's deployment with magic and strategy.
The soldiers had no idea where they were, and the layout and space were unlike anything they had ever seen before...
Ning Xi'er is still injured...
I wonder what kind of demon or monster Ning Xi'er is that would be injured by magic...
I was so scared I almost fainted.
But seeing that Ning Xi'er looked no different from an ordinary person, he was filled with anxiety and wished he could faint.
Ning Xi'er had the foresight to give him a pill first to prevent him from fainting.
"If you answer my questions honestly, I'll spare your life..."
Ning Xi'er winced in pain and said sternly to the soldier.
The person who was bound and kneeling on the ground was both shocked and frightened, but ultimately valued his life and nodded after a long time.
"What kind of magic was used to set up the military camp?"
The soldier was immediately terrified and shook his head.
Judging from his behavior just now, it's impossible that he was completely unaware.
Ning Xi'er brandished a dagger and poison, threatening the soldier who, though seemingly alive, could not die. After enduring this for a long time, he finally lowered his head and recounted what he knew.
The soldier was too low-ranking to know the specific layout of the military camp, but he mentioned that a seemingly powerful Taoist priest had recently arrived at the camp...
They used talismans to strengthen restrictions throughout the military camp. Although they didn't know who the other party was, as people of Jin, they couldn't guess the purpose of these spells.
Ning Xi'er asked the soldiers to describe the Taoist priest's appearance...
Although the soldier only peeked a few times when the enemy was applying the restriction, he could still describe the general situation...
Ning Xi'er pondered and realized that his appearance matched that of the Taoist priest who had injured her in front of the Marquis's mansion that day.
Do you know where the other party comes from?
Ning Xi'er questioned.
The soldier shook his head, and seeing Ning Xi'er's dissatisfaction, he added worriedly, "I didn't hear the generals talking, so I'm not sure of their identities..."
However, it is said that our Crown Prince relies heavily on a Taoist master named Shushan, whose magical arts are the best in the Jin Kingdom...
The restrictions he set up were unbreakable...
Ning Xi'er's wound was throbbing slightly, and it seemed to be bleeding again...
Ning Xi'er sighed inwardly, "His reputation is well-deserved; I've certainly learned something from him."
Even with so many medications in the room, the bleeding couldn't be completely stopped.
Just then, the soldier suddenly seemed to remember something, "Wait a minute, I heard that this Taoist priest has a fellow disciple who might know the magic of the Taoist priests of the local mountain..."
Ning Xi'er quickly asked, "Where is he?"
The soldier shook his head, "We haven't heard any news of him in Jin for many years..."
According to popular rumor, the two had fallen out, and Master Shushan's junior brother had already left the State of Jin...
Ning Xi'er then asked, "Do the magical arts of your Jin Kingdom only apply to certain people, or can they be applied to everyone?"
The soldier's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head, seemingly struggling, pleading, "If I tell you the truth, can you really let me go?"
Ning Xi'er nodded. Even if she were to release it, it wouldn't be now.
The soldier seemed to have made up his mind, closed his eyes and said, "The magic of Jin can affect everyone."
If this person is truly the foremost sorcerer of Jin, then he can accomplish this!
Ning Xi'er's expression changed upon hearing this...
He quickly calmed down.
Yes, even a transmigrated soul like hers might exist, let alone other energies...
What's so strange about that?
Once what I feared most was confirmed, I actually felt calmer.
Right now, all we can do is try our best to find a solution...
Otherwise, let alone firearms...
The soldiers of Great Yan will be utterly powerless to resist...
Aside from using Ning Xi'er's spatial storage to house all the soldiers, this would only be a barely acceptable way to avoid suspicion...
But the northern border fell into the hands of the Jin state...
Escaping is far from enough.
"What are the characteristics of this junior brother, the Taoist priest from Shushan?"
Ning Xi'er asked calmly.
