Li Huairen pretended to be surprised: "Ah? Miss Xiao, you...you are General Xiao's daughter?"

Seeing his big reaction, Xiao Yunzheng was confused, "What's wrong?"

Qin Junyu had already told her that everyone in this camp was from Liangwu, and the "Doctor Li" in front of her was no exception. Why would a person from Liangwu be so excited when he heard her father's name?

Li Huairen tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes, "Although I am a doctor and don't know how to march and fight, but I have been in the military camp for so long, so I have naturally heard of General Xiao's reputation."

He smiled embarrassedly, "Don't mention me. If the other soldiers knew that General Xiao's daughter was in the camp, they would definitely be more surprised than me!"

Xiao Yunzheng was skeptical: "Is it really that exaggerated? Although my father is well-known, most of those who have served in the army have heard of his name, but what does this have to do with me, Xiao Yunzheng?"

It is understandable that she is curious about her two older brothers. She has never led troops and has never made any achievements. She is just full of passion, but the thing the world lacks the most is passionate people.

"Miss Xiao, you don't know this." Li Huairen said confidently, "As long as they are related to General Xiao, we will respect them, not to mention General Xiao's biological daughter."

He quickly expressed his opinion: "Being able to help Miss Xiao take care of her health is a blessing that I have earned in my previous life! If our ancestors knew about this, their graves would be filled with smoke!"

Li Huairen spoke seriously, not like he was coaxing her.

Xiao Yunzheng burst out laughing, "You're quite good at talking."

Li Huairen scratched his head, thinking that it was time to stop while he was ahead, fearing that if he continued, it would arouse her suspicion. "Miss Xiao, call me anytime if you need anything. Li will leave first."

She waved her hand in assent.

Xiao Yunzheng's emotions soon calmed down, but Li Huairen was happy for several days.

Nian Susu still went out early and came back late every day, sitting in Jixin Hall all day long.

After two failures, the Northern Wei Dynasty became much more cautious and no longer launched large-scale attacks. Instead, it sent a small number of troops to harass the city repeatedly, trying to find out how many troops were in Qingshan City.

General Xiao was a veteran and hid his strength very well, so the two sides were in a stalemate for seven or eight days.

Batches of wounded were sent to Jixintang, and a steady stream of those who were cured and discharged also continued.

Nian Susu was extremely busy and had to perform two or three minor operations almost every day, covering all kinds of injuries, including broken hands, broken legs, and rotten faces.

She was very sensitive to the smell of blood and would feel nauseous and want to vomit when she smelled it. After attending Jixintang for half a month, she was completely cured because the situation was urgent and she didn't even have time to vomit.

On this day, Nian Susu was changing the dressing for a patient when he heard two wounded soldiers chatting next door.

"Hey, have you heard? The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's troops were forced to retreat was actually because it was Major General Xiao who was in charge in Liangcheng!"

"Major General Xiao!? Are you talking about General Xiao's eldest son? Wasn't he...wasn't he killed by the Northern Wei people at Yanmen Pass?"

"Who knows? I heard this news from others, so it remains to be verified whether it is true or not. But... think about why the prince won the first few battles so smoothly, but was defeated later? Isn't it because the enemy army was instructed by a master?"

"That makes sense..."

Nian Susu was stunned and didn't pay attention to her hand movements, so the medicine spilled all over the floor. She only came to her senses after the injured person reminded her.

The more Nian Susu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Qin Junyu had been attacking the city for more than ten days, but there was no good news. Now it was reported that Qin Zehai had a master to guide him. What if...

She didn't dare think about it anymore.

After finishing the work at hand, Nian Susu asked Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi to stay in Jixin Hall to help, and she hurried back to Xiao Mansion.

General Xiao happened to be in the mansion, and Nian Susu told him his idea, hoping to get his support.

General Xiao was shocked: "You said you were going to look for A Yu?"

To go, not to want to go.

She had already made the decision, and this visit was not to discuss or seek his consent.

"No." General Xiao was cold to Nian Susu for the first time. His attitude was tougher than ever: "It's too dangerous! There is chaos outside now. What if you fail to find A Yu and are captured by the Northern Wei or Qin Zehai's people? How can I explain to your father? How can I explain to A Yu?"

He was very emotional, and Nian Susu was extremely anxious. "Uncle Xiao, I know you are worried about me. Similarly, I am also worried about His Highness. He is my husband. No matter what happens, I should face it with him. He is in trouble now, and I want to help him."

"Uncle Xiao, if you really regard me as your own daughter, you shouldn't stop me."

General Xiao's eyes flashed with regret, and he turned his head to the side, as if he had made up his mind to say this: "I treat you as my own daughter, so I can't let you do whatever you want without considering the consequences!"

Nian Susu heard that he was talking about Xiao Yunzheng.

Xiao Yunzheng lost her mother when she was young and lived with General Xiao. At that time, the Northern Wei and Southern Chu were at war, so he didn't have much time to educate his daughter. Xiao Yunzheng's arrogant, proud, and disobedient character was the result of her being raised in a free-range environment.

General Xiao also regretted that he had not been able to accompany and care for Xiao Yunzheng more...

Nian Susu let out a long sigh, "Uncle Xiao, you are a good general and a good father. I believe Yun Zheng can understand you."

The topic has gone off topic...

After being comforted by her, General Xiao felt much better, but he still disagreed with her going to find Qin Junyu.

Nian Susu: "The Northern Wei was stopped outside Qingshan City, and Liangcheng was surrounded by your Highness's men. Even if I rode my horse around the gate of Liangcheng, the people I would most likely run into would be your Highness's men. How could I fall into the hands of the enemy?"

Xiao Jianting couldn't convince her, and seeing that she was stubborn, he had to agree, but with one request, which was that Chen Hu must accompany her throughout the process and personally lock her up next to Qin Junyu before leaving. Nian Susu agreed.

In mid-September, it rained heavily for several days and the muddy road became bumpy. Small ponds formed in many low-lying areas. The sky was gray and the rain showed no sign of abating. In such bad weather that horses could not run slowly and people could not walk fast, Qin Junyu actually sent troops to attack the city.

If for no other reason, it is precisely because of the rain that the fireballs are ineffective, making it the best time to attack.

Thunder rumbled overhead, and the area below Liangcheng was pitch black, as if a large army was entering the city.

Qin Junyu personally led the troops into the battlefield, with siege vehicles and ladders deployed together, showing the momentum of vowing to capture Liangcheng today.

The soldiers of Liangcheng could never have imagined that the enemy would launch an attack on such a stormy, thundering and lightning day, so the defenses everywhere were very lax, and the city tower was almost occupied by the enemy who climbed up from the Yun Tower.
