Su Ruojin was not in the capital, but headed to Xiaoyue!
During the time Yan Luo was rushing back to the capital, Su Ruojin received letters from both Yuan Hong and her master.
After reading the letter, she was completely stunned.
One person locked himself in his room for an entire day, which worried Consort Jiang and Madam Zhao so much that they both came to knock on the door.
The first thing Su Ruojin said when she opened the door was, "Mother, Grandmother, I want to go to Xiaoyue!"
Su Ruojin is nearly six months pregnant now, how can she possibly travel?
Not only did Consort Jiang and Old Madam Zhao object, but even Madam Su, upon hearing the news, rushed to the Prince's Mansion with Su Muyao.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother.
Madam Su knew that Xiao Jin was not a person without sense of propriety, and there must be a reason why she would suddenly say such a thing.
"Xiao Jin, what exactly happened? Your father isn't far from Xiao Yue right now. If it really comes down to it, why don't you write a letter and ask him to rush over?" Madam Su suggested.
Su Yunfeng has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Are they really inferior to Xiao Jin, a mere woman?
Su Ruojin knew that if she didn't persuade these elders in front of her, she wouldn't be able to leave Da Chu.
She was perfectly capable of secretly leaving the capital, but if she did, her three elders would surely fall ill with worry upon finding out.
"Grandmother, Mother, Mother, Muyao, please sit down. I will tell you slowly."
Seeing Xiao Jin's serious expression, the four knew something serious must have happened, and they sat down with some trepidation.
Huanzhi brought tea to the group.
"Xiao Jin, tell me quickly, what exactly happened to Xiao Yue? You absolutely have to go." Consort Jiang had no time to drink her tea and asked anxiously.
"Mother, there are people in this world called Gu Masters..."
Su Ruojin told the group about her experiences in Xiaoyue, especially emphasizing Gao Hongyuan's raising of the demon Gu King.
After hearing this, all four were speechless, feeling a wave of fear wash over them.
Xiao Jin had told them a general story before when she returned from Xiaoyue, but not in such detail as today, and she hadn't mentioned anything about Gu techniques or the Demon Gu King.
If you look at the timeline, Xiao Jin was already pregnant at that time.
If Xiao Jin had encountered something in Xiaoyue back then, none of them dared to imagine what would have happened.
Madam Su also realized what was going on. "So your trip to Xiaoyue is related to this Gu technique?"
Su Ruojin nodded, "Yes, Mother, to be precise, it's related to Gao Hongyuan. He didn't die after falling off the cliff, but instead went to Bei Li."
Consort Jiang asked with some confusion, "Xiao Jin, what does his presence in Bei Li have to do with your trip to Xiao Yue?"
Su Ruojin took out two letters and placed them on the table. "These are letters from Yuan Hong and Master. Yuan Hong said that something strange has happened on the border between Xiaoyue and Beili."
Consort Jiang took the letter and read it carefully. Then her expression changed drastically, and she looked incredulous.
The other three also picked up the letter and their expressions changed.
Su Muyao's voice trembled slightly, "Big sister, is this true?"
Su Ruojin nodded. "It's true."
The letter said that Bei Li launched a surprise attack on Xiao Yue's border camp one night. The enemy was small, consisting of only a squad of 500 men.
Strangely, these Northern Li soldiers had terrifying faces, resembling dried corpses. They were not afraid of death at all, nor did they follow any tactics. When swords and blades were slashed at them, they did not react at all.
These Northern Li soldiers charged forward recklessly on the battlefield, tearing apart anyone they saw.
Even more terrifying is that after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the bitten soldier will suddenly turn around and bite his own brother.
Even if a dead soldier were to revive after a period of time, he would turn around and bite other soldiers.
There is an unwritten rule in the army that even if a soldier dies on the battlefield, his comrades will do everything they can to bring his body back so that he can be properly buried.
Many soldiers carrying their wounded or dead comrades back to camp were caught off guard and torn apart by their mutated comrades, and they themselves began to mutate as well.
In this way, as the battle progressed, the enemy's numbers increased while our own numbers decreased.
Later, everyone discovered that only by cutting off the heads of these mutants could they be killed completely, which made things much more difficult.
Xiaoyue's border troops exerted a great deal of effort; their five thousand men were almost completely wiped out by Bei Li's five hundred soldiers before they could barely behead all the mutated people.
The soldiers of Xiaoyue called the Northern Li soldiers "demon soldiers".
