The idea of the armor color was brought up by Zi Linglong. At this time, most of the armor was the original color of metal. The armor of Nan Yu and Bei Ming was distinguished by its style. They captured Bei Ming's armor along the way and modified it to make it more flexible and sturdy.
To make the distinction more obvious, Zi Linglong simply used special pigments to paint everything copper black, giving it an exceptionally high-quality look. Even the banner was painted with tiger and leopard stripes on a black background, making it look majestic.
Zi Linglong led a group of women soldiers, fighting guerrilla warfare alongside the Tiger Wolf Division. They also captured a lot of spoils of war. At the same time, Zi Linglong became more and more confident. This red women's army began to snowball and grow to a full three thousand people!
Ying is increasingly showing the demeanor of a great general, leading the Tiger Wolf Division entrusted to him by Yan Jiu (Xia Yixin) in cooperation with Zhao Tuo, and news of victory keeps coming from the front line.
However, just as Nan Yu had devoured most of Bei Ming, he encountered the Ninth Prince stabbing him in the back.
The Ninth Prince sent out more than a dozen assassins who nearly killed the new emperor on the battlefield.
Moreover, all the assassins committed suicide when they realized their scheme had been exposed, leaving the new emperor with no evidence whatsoever.
Moreover, despite investigating Zi Linglong's matter for so long, he made no progress whatsoever.
Left with no other choice, the new emperor left his most trusted general, Li Xin, in Maicheng to oversee the attack, while he hurried back to the capital to deal with the Ninth Prince's affairs.
It's almost the end of October, and the further north you go in the Arctic Circle, the faster the temperature drops.
Zhao Tuo's troops had not made any progress against the Tiger and Wolf Division for seven days. Through long-distance communication via carrier pigeon, they decided to take a temporary break to recuperate and wait for early spring next year to launch another attack and capture Beiming.
Now, they have captured more than 70 of the more than 100 cities in the entire Northern Underworld.
Managing these seventy-odd cities was a headache, and many aristocratic families and scholars in the cities were very resistant to the Tiger Wolf Army. She had to do it herself, and for a time she was even busier than when she was fighting a war. Fortunately, she had Shen Chen to help her. As for Zhao Tuo? He was just a warrior, and she could only rely on the few subordinates he had promoted.
Early November.
The Northern Sea was hit by its first blizzard.
After the new emperor left Maicheng, he secretly fought with the Ninth Prince, which ended with the Ninth Prince being placed under house arrest and all his subordinates being killed.
However, the new emperor was also severely weakened. His power in the capital was destroyed by the Ninth Prince, and officials in the court frequently remonstrated with him because he had no heir for many years.
He even sent women into the palace. Helpless, taking advantage of the truce between the two sides, the new emperor favored several concubines in the capital, and unexpectedly, they all became pregnant.
I heard that one of them looks remarkably like Zi Linglong.
On the other side.
Xia Yixin made Mengcheng her base, as it had the strongest defenses and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The other seventy-odd cities were also relatively stable.
For the time being, the Tiger Wolf Division needs to be specifically responsible for guarding and managing the people. She also needs to inspect the people's livelihood from time to time to prevent any thieves from sneaking in. She hasn't had a break for more than half a month.
She finally managed to return to Mengcheng for a day of rest, when the carrier pigeon carrying Zi Linglong's inquiry from the front lines arrived again.
Xia Yixin genuinely felt that the position of strategist was really difficult, especially since both domestic and foreign affairs had to be taken care of. She admired Chu Mubai immensely and wondered if she should just secretly bring Chu Mubai back.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, she had just had this idea.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my mind: "Warning! Warning! Male supporting character's health points have decreased by 1, decreased by 1..."
The system called out the number more than twenty times, little by little, before finally settling on 35.
After Shen Chen and her tireless efforts, her life points had just returned to 60. How could they drop so much in one go, and even drop little by little? Now that the new capital has left Maicheng, who would dare to harm Chu Mubai?
No, she has to go and see!
Xia Yixin felt something was wrong the more she thought about it. Just then, Shen Chen, who had just finished treating the soldiers who had retreated from the front line, pushed open the door and came in.
"Chen Chen, I'm going away for a few days. Tell everyone I'm in seclusion until I get back!" She threw down those words and rushed out of the room, leaving Shen Chen shouting in surprise behind her.
"Wait a minute, didn't Miss Linglong say she would be back in three days?"
Xia Yixin shouted, "Tell her to wait, don't do anything rash!"
Shen Chen watched the person run away and asked anxiously, "How many days are you going to be gone?"
The only response he received was the howling north wind.
Hearing the sound of horses leaving outside the door, Shen Chen paced back and forth in distress, muttering, "If General Yan isn't here, I won't be able to handle that female tyrant when she comes..."
He felt a headache coming on when he thought of Zi Linglong, who was riding a horse in red. He wondered if it was because she had been on the battlefield. Apart from being somewhat feminine with Yan Jiu (Xia Yixin), she was decisive and efficient with everyone else. If she knew that Chen Chen had "let go" her General Yan, he would be in trouble.
Shen Chen immediately decided to slip away!
He claimed that General Yan had gone into seclusion to study agricultural matters and then slipped away with his medicine box.
It takes at least two days and several hundred miles to travel from Mengcheng to Maicheng.
However, Xia Yixin was extremely anxious, so she changed three horses, shortening the journey by more than half. She set off late at night and arrived at Maicheng on the banks of the Chishui River by evening the next day. At this time, one of the other two isolated cities had already been captured, and the two sides were still locked in a fierce battle.
The guards in Maicheng were on high alert, but Xia Yixin's light-footed skills allowed her to easily enter the county government office inside the city.
However, after searching around, she couldn't find any trace of Chu Mubai.
"Host, he's in the underground water dungeon in Xicheng Mountain. Hurry! If you're not there soon, he'll drop to 30!"
Xia Yixin turned and ran quickly toward the water prison, her heart filled with anxiety.
