Chapter 423 Emperor Wu Su returns to the camp? God bless Beili!

Her knee hit the gravel hard, and the burning pain spread instantly.

Ji Qingwu propped himself up, his palms were rubbed with bloody marks by the rough gravel, but he didn't even have time to utter a cry of pain.

Because the sound of horse hooves was getting closer.

She didn't even have time to adjust her skirt as she staggered to the wooden fence at the entrance of the military camp.

Has Emperor Wu Su returned to the camp? Ji Qingwu's heart was beating fast.

The horn in the watchtower suddenly sounded long and loud.

Someone reined in his horse and stopped at the gate. He was wearing silver armor covered with yellow sand. When he dismounted, the gilded scabbard at his waist made a crisp sound when it collided with the saddle.

Through the fence, Ji Qingwu saw clearly who was coming back.

She took a half step back in frustration and hurriedly put the headscarf around her neck over her head.

The ones who came back were Wei Ting and several of his personal guards.

The guard saluted with his fists: "General!"

Li Chengxun also rushed to the door and said, "General Wei."

Wei Ting nodded, not having time to chat with him, and asked the guarding soldiers.

“When did the army set out?”

The guards replied, "General, last night the sky was filled with sandstorms, and the sentinels' vision was obstructed. At midnight, Xijin launched a surprise attack and gathered all his forces to press toward the border. The emperor has already led the troops to the battle."

After hearing this, Wei Ting's face became solemn. Neither the timing nor the location was on Beili's side.

Xi Jin had more troops and his soldiers were more accustomed to charging in the raging sand. They could also use sand dunes and gullies as cover, giving them a greater chance of winning.

Ji Qingwu hid behind the fence, biting his lips tightly.

As expected, she was still a step too late. If the war started, she didn't know when it would stop, and she didn't know when Emperor Wu Su would be able to return...

At this time, another sharp whistle sounded.

Ji Qingwu recognized the whistle sound, her eyes widened in panic, she turned and ran, biting her lower lip and leaving a bloody mark.

These tigers and wolves like Xijin never stop for a moment!

Wei Ting's body stiffened, and he jumped on his horse and ran towards the barracks where food and grass were stored.

Li Chengxun did not understand the signal sent by the army, and asked suspiciously: "May I ask what happened?"

The guard said stiffly: "...the fire broke out."

Ji Qingwu ran in the direction of the kitchen as he remembered, temporarily forgetting the pain in his knee.

The hundreds of large water tanks in the kitchen were all filled with water.

Fortunately, the North has strict military discipline and these habits have never changed. In order to cope with the dry autumn and winter, water storage will be increased.

But at this time, a more urgent whistle was heard.

Ji Qingwu's heart sank and he looked towards the east.

Several rockets were fired simultaneously towards the camp. The weather was dry and the rockets caught fire as soon as they came into contact with anything, and the fire spread rapidly.

The north wind is howling and the smoke is billowing.

Ji Qingwu frowned. Even with this water, it might not be able to stop the fire that came with the strong wind.

Even God is not on Beili's side.

The soldiers guarding the doors of each tent were busy putting out the fire.

Li Chengxun also rushed over, caught a fleeing soldier, and asked, "Aren't the granaries in the northern border built with bluestone? Why did they catch fire?"

"My lord, bluestone cannot protect against kerosene!"

The soldier broke free of his hands, and water from the bucket splashed at his feet.

"The Xijin people not only shoot rockets! They also use falcons to hurl fire!"

Xi Jin came prepared and even specially trained eagles and peregrine falcons for this purpose.

Li Chengxun looked to the east. Ten granaries were engulfed in flames. The bluestones made crackling sounds in the high temperature. He wondered how long they could last.

Seeing that the flames had already licked into the granary at the edge, Ji Qingwu casually opened the door of a military tent and hid inside.

She called out anxiously, "Peanut!"

The sound of electricity as the intelligent computer started up was heard.

[Yes, host]

Ji Qingwu said quickly: "Hurry up and release the national destiny that owed me last time, otherwise I will perish with you!"

The system also knew that the situation was urgent, so there was no procrastination or nonsense this time.

[Okay, host, where do you want to use it, on the battlefield or in the military camp?]

Ji Qingwu hesitated for a moment.

The two armies fought with swords and spears without mercy. Xi Jin was best at using underhanded tactics, and the situation faced by the army ahead was even more dangerous than theirs.

If the national destiny was released on the battlefield, it could protect Emperor Wu Su from injury.

But food and fodder are essential for marching and are necessary for soldiers.

When Ji Qingwu closed his eyes, the image of Zhao Mingyan’s pale face after being shot by an arrow appeared in his mind.

The bite mark on her lower lip became deeper, and the taste of rust spread between her lips and teeth. She opened her eyes again and opened her lips with a firm look.

It didn't take long.

Ji Qingwu lifted the door curtain and came out, and was noticed by a soldier who was carrying water to put out the fire.

The man's face was covered in charcoal dust, with only the whites of his eyes and teeth remaining white. He asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Why did you come out of the general's tent?"

Ji Qingwu was in a hurry just now and had no time to see whose tent this was. Now when he looked up, he saw a big word "Wei" on the top of the tent.

Seeing that the woman had covered most of her face with a headscarf, the soldier said angrily, "Great! You are Xijin's spy!"

Ji Qingwu frowned and said, "It's important to put out the fire first, don't waste time."

The soldier didn't trust her. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and ran to the east side where food and grass were stored with the bucket, and did not forget to turn back to warn her.

"Stand there and don't move. I'll come back and settle the score with you!"

Li Chengxun appeared beside her and said in a bad tone: "This is a critical moment. You were sent by Qingyun. Don't run around. Otherwise, if something happens, I can't protect you."

Ji Qingwu was still holding Chunhua's face. She remained silent, but raised her head and looked up at the sky.

The early morning sunlight is not blinding but bright and energetic, as if foreshadowing a sunny day.

But in an instant, several large dark clouds floated over, covering the sun in an instant, and the sky was rumbling.

Ji Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief, with a little moisture in her eyes, but she held it back.

What she needs to do now is to guard the military camp, the rear area.

Ji Qingwu ran towards the east.

Li Chengxun frowned and wanted to call her, but the sky suddenly became dark and black clouds like thick ink appeared above his head. When he looked up in confusion, the maid ran away.

A shocking bolt of lightning split the billowing smoke.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the red-hot roof of the granary, causing white mist to rise.

The north was dry and there was little rain in this season. The soldiers fighting the fire were dizzy from the pouring rain and were all stunned.

"May God bless Beili!"

I don't know who shouted first, but the soldiers knelt one after another, thanking heaven for this auspicious omen.

Not far away, only Wei Ting's roar could be heard.

"Why are you kneeling? It's not the right time yet. Instead of praying for rain, you might as well pray to yourself. Continue to build a human wall and pass the water over!"

The soldiers came to their senses and rushed to put out the fire. Wei Ting commanded everyone to use spears to pry open the burning beams.

Ji Qingwu braved the heavy rain and also carried a few buckets of water.

Heavy rain and buckets of water washed away the fire, and the fire gradually went out.

Ji Qingwu bent over, leaning on her thigh and gasping for breath. Sweat broke out on her forehead. The wounds on her palms and knees were soaked with rain water. She no longer felt any pain, but instead felt a little hot and swollen.
