What exactly is Xie Mingyue trying to do?
Only she herself knows the answer to that.
Tonight, apart from Xie Mingyue who is still awake at this hour, Zhou Yiran is also working by candlelight.
"Master, it's past four in the morning."
Zhou Yiran picked up the teacup that had gone cold, lifted the lid and was about to drink when he put the teacup down again just as it touched his lips.
"Master, would you like me to brew another pot of hot tea?"
Zhou Yiran waved to the servants. He looked at the list on the table, thinking about what Li Shiyue had told him before she left. He raised his hand and rubbed his stiff shoulders a few times, staring at the list and falling into thought.
The servant then walked up behind Zhou Yiran, called out "Master," and began to massage Zhou Yiran's shoulders.
At dawn, the sky was still as black as ink.
Gao Jin woke up just after dawn at the residence of the Andong mission.
After getting up, Gao Jin washed his face with cold water. In the still chilly morning, he took his knife and went out to inspect the various posts in their residence.
By the time he had walked through it once, it was already broad daylight.
"Boss, the food is still prepared for a hundred people. We also told them to eat two portions each."
Gao Jin nodded. "Tell the brothers to be alert. Before the captain returns, keep quiet!"
"yes!"
"Keep a close eye on Zhou Canjun, Li Niangzi, Liu Niangzi, and the Eighth Prince!"
Report immediately if anything happens!
"yes!"
Li Shiyue, who was being targeted by Gao Jin, had already remounted her horse with Chen Yong and Sun Xiaoliu and headed north in pursuit.
They rode their horses for a full day and night. Except for urinating and defecating, Li Shiyue and the other two did not dismount. They even ate their dry biscuits on horseback.
If Li Shiyue hadn't taken out the purse containing candy, the three of their horses would have given up long ago.
The further north she went, the colder it got for Li Shiyue.
Even though it's already mid-March, the temperature on the grassland at night is still at least -5°C.
Li Shiyue suddenly felt a slight coolness on the tip of her nose. It was March 17th, and the moon should still be a bright full moon in the sky, but when Li Shiyue looked up, the moon she saw was mostly obscured by dark clouds.
"It's snowing."
"Captain!"
Li Shiyue turned around and saw Chen Yong with a solemn expression.
"how?
Are they just ahead?
Chen Yong cupped his hands in greeting to Li Shiyue before saying, "Yes!"
I followed the wheel tracks we found at dusk and crept forward for about ten miles. Sure enough, ahead of me was the funeral procession sent by the Sixth Prince!
Before dark, I found a spot and observed it; there's no mistake!
Among them were Mohe barbarians with braided hair!
Li Shiyue nodded, gave Chen Yong a "you're great" look, and then looked at Sun Xiaoliu, who was eager to try.
Li Shiyue took out the bronze pendant hanging from his waist and handed it over.
"Xiao Liu, ride back to find Captain Wang, give him this bronze plaque, and tell him to march at full speed!"
I need to see them before tomorrow evening!
"Yes, Captain!"
What exactly is Li Shiyue trying to do?
At noon on March 18th, the grassland, which was cold and snowy last night, was now so hot that one wished to take off all the layers of clothing and go shirtless.
Li Shiyue was sitting on a rock, wiping her knife, waiting for Chen Yong to return.
Before dawn, Chen Yong was sent out again to chase after that group of Mohe barbarians.
As she wiped her knife, Li Shiyue thought to herself that if she ever encountered someone from the tech world on a live stream in the online marketplace, no matter the price, she would definitely buy a drone or something from them.
The most deadly force on this grassland is the barbarian cavalry.
However, that was before drones existed.
If she had drones, could dominate the skies, and gain air supremacy, then she would be the undisputed queen of the grasslands!
If Li Shiyue still can't win against the barbarians, she will truly have let herself down after transmigrating.
However, she didn't have any drones available, so she had to send Chen Yong, the scout, out to gather information.
Shenzheng, the wind on the grassland has already turned cold.
Chen Yong had not yet returned, but Sun Xiaoliu arrived at this place with Wang Datou and the others at the beginning of the day.
"Captain!"
Wang Datou dismounted and bowed to Li Shiyue.
But standing next to Wang Datou was a tall and burly Turkic man. Who was this man?
"Lieutenant Li!"
It was He Lu!
He was the cousin of She'er, the eighth prince of the Turks. He shouted this to Li Shiyue in accented Chinese, while simultaneously punching his left chest with his right fist.
Li Shiyue nodded to Wang Datou and He Lu, then looked up at the sky and said, "Wait! Wait for Chen Yong to come back."
With Li Shiyue's words in mind, Wang Datou and He Lu arranged for their hundred-man team to dismount and rest on the spot.
A quarter past the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), Li Shiyue, who was sitting on the felt rug, suddenly stood up.
Wang Datou, He Lu, and Sun Xiaoliu, who were sitting next to her, also stood up. They saw that Li Shiyue was staring at the north.
There were no dark clouds tonight, and a bright, full moon hung in the sky.
After a while, the clattering of galloping hooves came from afar.
Chen Yong is back!
He Lu looked at Chen Yong, who was sitting on the horse in the distance, with some surprise. He had long been aware of Li Shiyue's immense strength. After all, several years ago, She'er had been thrown out of the circle twice by Li Shiyue.
He Lu witnessed Li Shiyue kicking away the two Mohe barbarians in the Golden Khan's tent at the Turkic royal court.
But He Lu never knew that Li Shiyue was not only incredibly strong, but also had hearing as good as the men on the grasslands!
No!
It should be said that Li Shiyue didn't even need to lie on the ground to listen to the vibrations caused by the horses running on the ground. Just standing there, she could hear sounds from miles away and determine the direction.
This is far more capable than the scouts on their grasslands.
Chen Yong dismounted, and Li Shiyue stopped him from bowing, instead gesturing for him to go aside and talk to her.
He Lu watched as Li Shiyue led Chen Yong to the southeast of their camp.
Turning around, He Lu looked at Wang Datou standing next to him.
"She's a warrior!"
Wang Datou glanced sideways at He Lu, who was a head taller than him, and said, "Do you need to tell me?"
Meanwhile, Li Shiyue listened to Chen Yong tell her about the various pieces of information he had gathered from his time outside with the Mohe barbarians throughout the day.
"...Captain, I'm sure that place is their current base!"
I saw many women and children among them!
