For the past half month, Bai Chuxiao has maintained the frequency of going to Zhaoyun Peak every three days, but there has been no news from Chu Tianze. One day, she finally couldn't sit still anymore and planned to go to the north to take a look. It was boring in the capital anyway, so she might as well go out and see some new things.

Bai Chuxiao, dressed in white, stood on the top of Zhaoyun Peak. "Cui Hao, I plan to go to Bingzhou. I'll leave these people to you until I come back."

"Miss, the north is very dangerous now, why don't I go with you?"

Bai Chuxiao hesitated a little, "If we all leave, what will happen to the hundreds of people down there?"

"Xia Fan is smart, if he leads us temporarily, I think there won't be any trouble." Since the young lady wants to go, he must go with her. Before the prince left, he told him that his mission is to protect the young lady.

Bai Chuxiao nodded. This was fine. She hadn't originally thought of going alone, but she only planned to take Qingshuang with her. After all, Qingshuang was a secret guard of the Prince of Yan's Mansion. She was quite skilled and much better than Qingzhu.

Coming to the bottom of the cliff, Bai Chuxiao looked at everyone and felt somewhat satisfied. This group of people was much better than he had imagined...

"Line up!"

Things are different now. Bai Chuxiao gave an order and hundreds of people stood in an orderly manner in just a few seconds.

"Hello, instructor!"

"I have something to announce today. Cui Hao and I will be away for a while. This instructor has decided to appoint Xia Fan as the team leader. He will lead everyone in training in the next few days. Do you have any objections?"

"No!" Hundreds of people said in unison. After all, they had seen how smart Xia Fan was before, and he was indeed qualified.

"Xia Fan stepped out"

Xia Fan, who was pointed at, stepped forward and stood straight.

"Tell me, instructor, do you have the confidence to lead everyone well?"

"Yes!" Xia Fan answered loudly. The instructor and Commander Cui trusted him so much, so he would naturally not let them down.

"Very good. Everyone must not slack off in the next few days. After you come back, this instructor will assess you. Those who fall behind will be expelled from the team. Do you understand?"

"Yes"

After finishing the explanation at Zhaoyun Peak, Bai Chuxiao went straight to the Zuo Xiang Mansion. After all, she also needed to explain the situation in the courtyard.

"Miss, can you take me with you?" Qingzhu pulled Bai Chuxiao's sleeve and begged.

"No, this is not a real sightseeing trip. If you don't have the skills, don't follow me."

Hearing this, Qingzhu felt a little guilty. It was all because of himself that he was useless. After the young lady left, he must practice martial arts diligently.

Lanxiang and the others wanted to follow, but they knew that going would only cause trouble, so they advised, "Qingshuang, you must protect the young lady."

Qingshuang nodded solemnly. Since the young lady was willing to take her with her, she naturally couldn't be a hindrance.

After packing up, Bai Chuxiao took Qingshuang to the city gate without telling anyone else in the Bai Mansion. Zhao Sifang was also kept in the dark.

Outside the city gate, Cui Hao was already waiting quietly with three horses. When the three of them met, they mounted their horses without saying much and headed straight for Bingzhou.

Bai Linan knew that it was already the second day since she left the capital, and he got really angry.

"This rebellious girl has never been at peace for a day." I thought this eldest daughter was a steady person, but who knew she would leave without saying a word...

Mrs. Xie was drooling at the side, "Master, this young lady is so unruly. How can a little girl like her go to the battlefield whenever she wants? Isn't this just causing trouble? What if His Majesty finds out..."

"Humph, she is usually spoiled too much in the mansion. If nothing goes wrong this time, it will be fine. But if something does happen, don't blame me as a ruthless father."

Xie's lips curled up into a smile. Bai Chuxiao, Bai Chuxiao, you asked for this. Let's see how you will explain it to everyone when you come back. Humph, it would be even better if His Majesty canceled the marriage because of this. In this mansion, only her children are the most noble. Why should a cheap girl ride on their heads...

But if Bai Chuxiao knew what they were thinking, she would just say, "You're worrying too much..." She could go there boldly because of His Majesty's attitude last time. She knew that even if His Majesty knew, he wouldn't say anything.

Outside of Shangliu City in Bingzhou, the armies of Daxia and Beiyan were facing each other. The King of Yan, the Crown Prince, and Wei Junyan were all standing on the city wall. The Crown Prince had a grim look on his face. Originally, they could have fought back when the army arrived, but he was too eager to gain military merit and fell into the enemy's trap while pursuing the victory. With this one mistake, the advantages accumulated before were wasted.

"Seventh brother, how should we fight now?"

Wei Junyan on the side stopped talking and was no longer as arrogant as before. After all, if it weren't for the King of Yan, they wouldn't even be able to defend the city. The people from Beiyan this time were indeed skilled in military tactics.

Chu Tianze looked cold, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo both have a lot of ideas, right? You guys continue, I'm watching..."

These days, there is one commander here and one commander there, and the soldiers don't know who to listen to. Chu Tianze lets the two of them mess around and just makes sure the city is not broken. If the army is not united, no matter how good his strategy is, it will be useless. Instead of this, it is better to wait until the two of them are willing to hand over the power after enough trouble.

Wei Junyan's face was a little gloomy, "Your Highness Prince Yan, now is not the time to fight. If you don't take back the two cities, His Majesty will be angry."

The prince also smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Seventh Brother, you are the commander-in-chief. I will follow your command in everything from now on. We should take back the lost territory as soon as possible and return to the court."

"As long as you two promise not to interfere, I have a way..." Chu Tianze sneered

Upon hearing this, Wei Junyan could only clasp his fists and say, "The entire army is naturally at the disposal of His Royal Highness Prince Yan."

The prince also nodded. After all, he really couldn't bear it any more. He had never fought a war before. This time he realized that there was a lot of knowledge involved. When two armies confront each other, it is not the side with more soldiers that will definitely win. He had taken it for granted before. No matter what, as long as they won the battle this time, he would still have a share of the military merit. Why didn't he just let it go? Why did he worry so much?

Seeing that the two no longer had any objections, Chu Tianze raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. What's the point of showing off with just this little ability? Then he directly ordered the troops to retreat. The Northern Army and the imperial court's reinforcements are now completely scattered and have no momentum at all. What's the point of fighting? The most important thing now is to integrate the army well and then make plans...

Seeing the other side retreat, Beiyan Third Prince Xiao Hong was a little surprised, then chuckled and said, "Yaofeng, it looks like we're going to have a tough battle."

The other side has been in disarray these days, and they are only able to hold on because of their large number of troops. They are short of food and cannot send reinforcements. However, if the other side continues like this, he is confident that he can quickly break through Shangliu...

Yuwen Yaofeng's face also became a little heavy. There was a sudden change in the Great Xia army. It seemed that the so-called King of Yan had already gathered the military power. This was not a good thing. They knew the situation of the enemy army very well these days. Except for the King of Yan, they didn't take anyone else seriously...

"Indeed, the King of Yan of Daxia should not be underestimated. We must be extra careful." Neither of them is someone who underestimates the enemy.

Xiao Hong nodded, "That's right. Once the food and grass arrive tomorrow, we will attack the city with all our might. Don't give them a chance to catch their breath..."

If they wait until the King of Yan of Great Xia regains the morale of his army, they will probably return empty-handed this time...
