I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi pulled the reins, and the cold wind made his armor rustle.

When the guards' horses' hooves crushed the last bit of darkness, smoke from beacons in the distance were winding up along the snow-capped mountains. Yang Mingxi felt that it was Lu Jintang's distress signal.

She turned her head to look in the direction of Changshan Village. In the night, Lu Liu was still at the village entrance directing the remaining guards to transport food and fodder. The short knife on the boy's waist, with its tasseled handle, swayed in the wind into a blurry white shadow. It was the dagger that Yang Mingxi gave to Lu Liu as a token of love. Seeing this thing was like seeing Lu Jintang.

Yang Mingxi left this item to Lu Liu, asking him to mobilize manpower and guard their home in Changshan Village.

On New Year's Eve, Yang Mingxi rushed to the battlefield with her own personal guards.

The original five-day journey was shortened to three days by Yang Mingxi.

On the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Mingxi and his companions had arrived at the village northwest of Xiting Prefecture, close to the Xiyue Kingdom, which was the village that Yang Mingxi had just crossed over from.

Because of the mountains, this place has not been affected by the war for the time being, but it is only separated from the battlefield by the mountain in front of the village.

The group camped at the foot of the mountain.

Yang Mingxi arranged for the vanguard battalion to go and gather information, while she herself went into the village and went to the home of her aunt where she had once stayed to learn about the situation in the village.

When the old lady saw Yang Mingxi, she opened her eyes wide in surprise and trembled, not knowing what to say.

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Auntie, I was out and about at the time and it was inconvenient for a woman to be with me, so I disguised myself as a man. I wonder how your eldest brother is recovering now?"

The old lady said with a smile: "They are all fine, all fine, there are no sequelae, but they have gone to the mountains to serve as guards."

The old lady's originally happy expression gradually became lonely.

"Guards? Why are the people going there from the village?" Yang Mingxi asked in confusion.

"Alas, the cavalry army is in such a bad state. Ever since the departure of the former cavalry general, the current army guards are just empty talk and have been beaten to a pulp by the enemy.

Now they have retreated to the outskirts of Xiting Prefecture. Xiting Prefecture will be lost soon! So the village chief gathered the young and strong men in the village and organized a guard team to protect our own small village. "

The old lady complained in a babble.

"Well, how are you doing now?"

"There's nothing going on in our village, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future." The old lady sighed.

"It's okay, the war will end, and Xiting Prefecture will not fall." Yang Mingxi smiled, "I heard that the Lu family has brought people to help again."

"Yes, I heard that they won a fierce battle on New Year's Eve, but the previous cavalry didn't support them. I don't know what their current situation is."

Yang Mingxi was shocked when she heard this. New Year's Eve? No wonder she was so uneasy at that time. Something must have happened to Lu Jintang.

After Yang Mingxi learned about the situation, he said goodbye to the old lady and prepared to return to the camp.

"Divine doctor, although you are a miracle doctor, people say that doctors cannot heal themselves. You are pregnant now and have difficulty moving around. Why don't you stay at our house? I will ask my husband to help you find out the news. Is your husband going to the battlefield?"

Yang Mingxi was stunned as she moved forward, then smiled. "Thank you, Auntie. I'm fine. We're camped in front of the mountain. Please tell your eldest brother to come to our tent when he has time and help us understand the situation."

The old lady's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, I'll ask the village chief to come with us."

"Thank you."

When Yang Mingxi returned to the tent, the guard commander came directly to him.

"Madam, the vanguard battalion reports that the Beiqi Army has breached three lines of defense."

Yang Mingxi took off his cloak and threw it to Chunhua, then returned to the tent, "I know, the cavalry has retreated 100 miles outside the city of Xiting Prefecture."

The guard commander Zhu Dali was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word.

"Send the vanguard battalion to slowly sneak into the enemy battlefield, find Lu Jintang and the others, make sure to contact them, and then reunite." Yang Mingxi thought for a long time before making a decision.

Zhu Dali took the order and went out.

In the tent of the vanguard camp.

Captain Wang Mancang lay exhausted on the ground, complaining, "My favorite cavalry corps, what's become of it now? That Joey Wong is such a fucking rubbish."

Wang Mancang's family used to have some wealth, but later they suffered a disaster and became slaves, but his dream of becoming a soldier was still there.

Later, he was bought by Lu Jintang to Qianhuang Mountain and joined the training team. He has been training very hard. Now he is on the battlefield, why is he so angry?

Zhu Dali walked into the tent and looked at the vanguard battalion members lying on the ground resting. He glanced at Wang Mancang and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Think about your own status and don't implicate my wife."

Wang Mancang jumped up and said, "Commander Zhu is here. If you have any mission, we can set off now."

Zhu Dali looked at his companions who were lying on the ground just now. "Madam has ordered that you go contact the general and the others. We need to reunite with them as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's set off now. We will definitely have news tomorrow." Wang Mancang said as he was about to leave.

"The meal will be ready soon. It won't take a little longer. Let's go after we finish eating!" Zhu Dali said, then turned and walked out of the vanguard camp tent.

In Yang Mingxi's tent, Chunhua offered her some water, but Yang Mingxi refused. "Chunhua, check out how our guards are arranged and have them coordinate with the village guards."

"Yes, ma'am." Chunhua took the order and went out. As soon as she arrived outside the tent, she saw Hu Da escorting someone towards Yang Mingxi's tent.

"Gu Hua, we caught a spy."

The man being held down by Hu Da twisted his body and said, "Who are you? I'm from the village next door. The village chief saw a group of you entering the village and asked me to come and take a look! I'm not a spy."

When Chunhua heard the 'spy' ...

Yang Mingxi waited until Chunhua went out before taking out some space spring water to drink, and then took out some of the cakes she had made in advance and started eating them.

Now she gets hungry very quickly, so she has to prepare something to fill her stomach at all times, otherwise she will be starving.

Hearing the voices outside the tent, Yang Mingxi swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and walked out quickly.

Hu Da looked at Yang Mingxi who came out and said with a smile: "Madam, we caught a spy."

The 'spy' slowly raised his head and saw a familiar face, "Little Doctor, is that you?"

Yang Mingxi also recognized the man in front of him. It was the person he and his master had saved. He hurriedly asked, "Brother, it's me? What are you doing...?"

"I and the villagers were on guard duty on the mountain. When we saw you entering the village, we followed you over to check and were arrested as spies."

When Yang Mingxi called out "Big Brother", Hu Da knew that he had made a mistake, and quickly untied the "spy" and let him go.

"Come sit inside! I just went to your house, and your aunt told me that I wanted to find you to find out about the situation." Yang Mingxi said and turned to walk into the tent. It was too cold outside, but fortunately there was no snow under the mountain.
