There were two white-haired old men in the house. The village chief introduced them as his parents.

His father was the previous village chief of Taimachi Village and was highly respected.

After he retired, he took over this responsibility.

The old man has been the village chief for his entire life and is very worldly-wise, so naturally he is not as easy to be deceived as the young man.

I heard that the two of them were traveling with their father on this snowy day, got lost, and ended up in this remote village of theirs.

I suddenly felt that there were many suspicious points and couldn't help but look them up and down.

"Hello, I'm sorry to bother you!"

Mo Junyi politely bowed and greeted them.

The old village chief's expression softened a little, but he still didn't say anything.

Instead, the old lady sitting next to him stood up and walked forward with a kind smile on her face.

"Good boy, you must be freezing. Come sit over here and warm yourself up."

Mo Junyi sat down next to the old village chief and felt the majestic scrutiny above him. Being poor at speaking, he could only lower his head and act like a quail.

Cheng Xingwan, on the other hand, shrank behind him from beginning to end, looking extremely timid and shy.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant.

Until the cheerful voices of children were heard outside, like the sound of nature, echoing throughout the village.

"Father, I heard that you brought back two very beautiful guests, right?"

The village chief was chopping wood outside at this time.

When he saw the children playing until dark before returning home, he immediately scolded them with a fierce face and a stern face: "You run around all day long and don't even know how to stay at home and help with some work."

His children didn't seem to be afraid of him and still went into the house laughing.

Cheng Xingwan looked towards the door curiously, and saw three children coming in happily.

The two older ones are boys, one looks about ten years old, and the other looks shorter, probably one or two years younger.

The youngest one is a girl, about the same height as Mo Junyi.

As soon as they entered the door, they bowed to the two old people and said in unison: "Grandpa and grandma, we are back!"

Their neat movements, like those of well-trained soldiers, are a delight to the eyes.

Then, they turned their gaze to Cheng Xingwan and Mo Junyi. After seeing their appearance clearly, the little girl's eyes seemed to glow instantly. That light was like the bright stars in the night sky, shining with surprise and curiosity.

"Hello you guys!"

Cheng Xingwan also responded to her timidly: "Hello!"

"You are so beautiful, the most beautiful person I have ever seen!"

The little girl was not shy at all and knelt down beside Cheng Xingwan in a familiar manner.

A very sincere compliment on her good looks.

"Thank you, you look very good too!"

The little girl not only has a very good personality, but is also very pretty. If you ignore her identity, Cheng Xingwan still likes her very much.

After a while, the two became good friends who could talk about anything.

Under her subtle questioning, the little girl revealed all her family assets without any defense.

The old village chief has three sons.

His eldest son inherited his position as village chief.

The second son was conscripted into the army three years ago and was a member of the 150,000-strong army that invaded Dayan this year.

In that battle, the entire army was wiped out and no one survived.

The old village chief and his wife lost their son overnight.

Before he could recover from the grief, he received another conscription order.

They knew that the journey was long and that there was a high possibility that they would never return and be buried in a foreign land, but they did not dare to disobey.

Firstly, his family was the head of the village, and their every move was an example to the villagers; secondly, military orders were as heavy as mountains, and if they disobeyed them, their entire family might be beheaded.

While San'er and his wife were crying, the old village chief silently packed San'er's luggage and prepared dry food.

The next morning, I personally sent San'er to the village entrance to gather.

"After my third uncle joined the army, my grandparents lived in fear and remained silent.

Especially my grandfather, his personality became more and more strange and he no longer smiled at us.

Oh! If only His Majesty the Emperor could give an order not to fight. "

The little girl, at such a young age, was already worrying about the affairs of the family and the country.

That sigh made Cheng Xingwan see a sadness on her face that was not suitable for her age.

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about.

One hundred and fifty thousand of our troops were killed in Dayan.

How could His Majesty the Emperor and the others swallow this humiliation?

They are bound to regroup and make a comeback.

In addition, there are constant earthquakes and tsunamis in the west, so this place is actually no longer suitable for survival.

This snow disaster also caused great losses. If the attack on Dayan fails, future taxes will inevitably double.

You may not know yet, but our pier is the closest to Dayan.

The reason it was closed was not because of the so-called snowstorm, but because the expeditionary army would set out from here in a few days."

The older boy glanced at his grandparents outside the room, then turned and whispered to them.

"Oh my God! Brother, where did you get this information?"

The little girl's name was Mieko. After hearing what her brother said, she couldn't help but gasp.

"Just last night, I accidentally overheard the conversation between my father and grandfather."

After hearing what he said, Cheng Xingwan glanced at Mo Junyi inconspicuously.

This is simply a case of searching for something without much effort, but finally finding it without any effort. I didn't expect to receive such a big surprise as soon as I arrived here.

At night, when everyone was asleep, Cheng Xingwan and Mo Junyi quietly opened the door and went out.

From tonight's conversation, they learned that the Xishen Army would gather at this dock in three days.

Before that, they must hurry up and finish what needs to be done.

The first stop is to go to Xijing, which is 600 miles away.

That is the capital of Xishen Kingdom.

After quietly closing the door, the two climbed onto Dahei's back and headed towards Xijing.

In order to reduce the burden on Dahei and make it fly faster, Cheng Xingwan let Mo Junyi enter the space.

Finally, I arrived outside the Xishen Palace at one or two o'clock in the morning.

He flashed into the space with Dahei.

She took out the map of Xijing, the capital of the Xichen Kingdom, which Zhang Shizhong had treasured and repeatedly told her to keep well before leaving.

This map was drawn by a senior who had been undercover in Xishen Country for several years, at the cost of his life.

Very precious.

If Zhang Shizhong hadn't been afraid that they would act like fools and break into the Xishen Palace and get caught, he would have been reluctant to take it out.

After roughly determining the general layout of the palace, the two took advantage of the night and let Dahei take them directly to the roof of the treasury.

There were several guards hiding in the dark on the roof.

They were all killed silently.

The poison powder made by Cheng Xingwan himself is invincible and anyone who touches it will fall down.

After resolving the hidden danger, the two men successfully lifted the tiles and jumped into the magnificent treasury.
