"You are the Canglang King, how dare I threaten you? I am just analyzing the situation with you." Yuan Buwei lowered her head and began to pack up the medicine box. "Once the Great Prince of Xirong dies, Xirong will definitely come to seek revenge. Right now, it is safest for you to stay in the Canglang King's Palace. The villagers in the village will not be affected."

"Sister Yuan, but uncle, no, it's the Wolf King. If he stays, can I go home?" Xiaoyan felt that the environment here made her very uncomfortable.

"If you go home, the Wolf King will be worried. He should only trust you now." Yuan Buwei looked at Xiaoyan, "I know you are very uncomfortable and have never experienced facing so many people at once, but the situation is different now. Life is the most important. The Wolf King is the same as us. He doesn't want anything to happen to you, Miss Xiaoyan. You stay here. Except for not being able to go out casually, you can do whatever you want."

"I actually don't know anything." Xiaoyan scratched her head.

"Can you read?" Yuan Buwei asked.

"I can't." Xiaoyan shook her head. "After my parents passed away, I struggled to make ends meet every day. Learning to read was too far away for me."

"That's just perfect. If you stay here, you can read and write, and learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Such skills are not for serving others, but for you to have a skill to support yourself no matter what happens in the future." Most of the soldiers of the Canglang King were illiterate, but during the days of searching for the Canglang King, Yuan Buwei arranged for the soldiers to read and learn to read. On the one hand, it could help them calm down, and on the other hand, reading more books would help them understand more principles, which would be helpful for their future.

Xiaoyan was a little moved by what Yuan Buwei said: "Can I really read and write?"

"As long as you want, you can."

Xiaoyan's eyes were filled with surprise. She turned to look at the Wolf King, her eyes full of anticipation.

The Wolf King frowned and looked at Xiaoyan, seeming to be hesitant.

Yuan Buwei did not urge her, but just waited quietly.

After a long while, the Wolf King finally said, "Okay."

In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn and the wind was strong at the border, blowing on the face like a knife, causing severe pain.

Under Yuan Buwei's treatment, the lump on the back of the Wolf King's head has disappeared, but he still hasn't recovered his memory.

"I didn't expect that the Xirong army could hold out until now after their food and grass were burned. This shows that their logistics are in place. I heard that the soldiers of the Xirong eldest prince are now taken over by the Xirong second prince. Although the second prince is not valued by the Xirong king, he is very good at fighting. The prince has fought him several times before, and each time he won by a narrow margin." Xu Jia was sitting in the room, analyzing the current situation with everyone. "Of course, we are also facing a more serious problem now, the problem of food and grass."

"How long can all the food and fodder last?"

"The prince suffered a loss in food and grass in the past, so the food and grass stored each time must be enough for three years, and basically it must be replenished at the end of each year. But the current situation is clear to everyone. It is definitely impossible to replenish it this year. Even the people in the town have no food. In the summer, a wave of food was distributed. Seeing that winter is coming soon, the people's life will be even more difficult." Xu Jia sighed, "I also wrote a letter to the court, but it fell on deaf ears."

"I wrote to Medicine King Valley before, but Lu Sui also needs food and grass, and the border is far away. Even if we transport it here, it will take time." Yuan Buwei said, "And the Xirong Army is outside and can be intercepted at any time."

"So it seems that we can only give it a try?"

Qin Si gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Xirong Army!"

"The prince is still suffering from amnesia. If he leads his troops to war, it will be easy for the Second Prince of Xirong to see through his flaws. This is the biggest hidden danger."

"Deputy General Xu, this won't work, and that won't work either. Then we can only wait until the food and grass are gone, and then the Western Rong army will come and kill us?" Qin Si felt that his anger was uncontrollable. "We will die sooner or later anyway, so we might as well die on the battlefield. Song Rui, what do you think?"

Song Rui lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "I agree with the eldest master. As long as the Canglang King is alive, it doesn't matter if he goes to the battlefield or not. The most important thing is that he can stabilize the morale of the army. Besides, we really don't have time. Deputy General Xu, aren't we fighting so hard just to protect the people? As long as the Xirong army doesn't retreat, the people of Cangxin Town will never have peace."

Xu Jia frowned, and was in great confusion.

Everyone just looked at him quietly.

Until he gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table: "If these bastards are not eliminated, I will not be able to sleep. I will listen to your wishes and I will arrange it now."

"Deputy General Xu, you are right to think so."

Qin Si turned and walked to the door: "Then I am now..."

He opened the door and saw the Wolf King standing at the door: "Uh..."

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just felt that something was going to happen." The Gray Wolf King walked in and looked at everyone. "I also saw the days I spent with you. Although I don't remember anything now, I am willing to go to the battlefield with you. Just like you said, my presence can stabilize the morale of the army."

"My Lord, are you sure?"

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind."

Xu Jia opened his mouth, then clasped his fists and said, "I obey your orders!"

Because we were going to take the initiative to attack, we had to deploy in advance and notify the people in the town so that they could find a place to take shelter as soon as possible.

To everyone's surprise, no one was willing to do so.

"My Lord, if you hadn't established Cangxin Town and brought us here when we had no home, we wouldn't be where we are today."

"The border is in great need of manpower right now, so we can't leave no matter what."

"Yes, although we cannot go to the battlefield, we have hands and feet, and we can do what we can in the rear."

"Yes, and we can guard the gate to prevent the Xirong army from attacking."

Watching the people talking one after another, we were all moved to tears.

When disaster strikes, no one can stay out of it. Only by uniting as one can we withstand all difficulties.

The day for departure was chosen to be early November.

The night before leaving, the people of Cangxin Town held a farewell party for the soldiers going to the battlefield.

"Si'er, don't be reckless on the battlefield. You must be careful." Although Qin Lian was reluctant, she couldn't stop her brother.

"Sister, I understand. Your brother is not that stupid. Don't worry." Qin Si hugged Qin Lian and turned to look at Meng Yingxue who was standing beside him. After thinking for a while, he strode over and said, "Miss Yingxue."

"what?"

Meng Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and she looked into Qin Si's bright eyes nervously: "Second Brother Qin, do you have something to tell me?"

Qin Si took out a hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Meng Yingxue: "For you."
