The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Hua Ye took advantage of the night and jumped down from the city gate. He put on a desert yellow robe that he had found from somewhere, and walked and stopped, hiding in the sand.

There is no wind tonight, not a speck of dust or sand. The sky is exceptionally bright with stars all around. You can see the road ahead clearly without turning on a flashlight.

She crawled forward like a lizard, clinging to the gravel. Not far away, a poisonous desert beast was flying by. She moved quickly and soon entered the stone forest.

Several fires were lit in the forest, and they sat around them to keep warm, while some people kept watch around them.

They spoke Tibetan, which Hua Ye could not understand, but seeing the smug expressions on their faces, he knew what they were talking about.

"Within half a year, we will capture this city..."

She quietly moved over and wiped the sentry's neck cleanly, one after another...

She leaped twice and crouched on top of the stone pillar, then tossed the sleeping pills one by one into the fire. As the pills burned, wisps of green smoke rose...

As the night deepened, the people sitting together drifted off to sleep, and soon fell into a deep sleep...

Seeing the medicine taking effect, Hua Ye flew down and landed gently and steadily behind a stone pillar not far from the fire. She leaned out and saw who had fallen to the ground...

He groped forward and took out a special weapon from his boots. The tip of the blade was divided into two arrowheads and was soaked with rattlesnake venom.

The moment the steel knife entered a person's body, the poison would take effect and kill them, just like being bitten by a rattlesnake's fangs...

She stabbed the Tibetan man's body with a sharp, accurate and ruthless knife, leaving two holes in his teeth. She also disguised it, stabbing different people in different places...

He easily destroyed an elite Tibetan army with his own strength...

After waking up, Zuo Nian walked back and forth on the city wall, looking for Hua Ye, but he could not find her.

He rushed down the city wall and ran to Doctor Luo's medicine furnace, looking for her carefully among the patients lying on the ground and on the kang.

"Major General Zuo Nian, what are you rushing about in the middle of the night? Tubo already raided us last night, so they won't attack us again tonight. Just relax and get some rest..."

Doctor Luo Shen, who was checking on the wounded in the middle of the night wearing a coat, gave a warning.

"Hua Ye has never been here?"

"Miss Hua?" Doctor Luo paused, stroked his beard, and continued, "Before dark, she asked me for some rattlesnake venom. I don't know what she was going to do with it, but she didn't tell me when I asked."

The sky is beginning to brighten...

"Thank you, Doctor Luo, she should be of use. I will return to the city walls to deploy defenses first. I would like to trouble you to take care of these injured soldiers."

"Of course she should. By the way, she also asked me to buy some drugs."

Doctor Luo opened the wound of a patient and carefully changed the ointment...

Zuo Nian bowed, saluted, and turned to leave. He glanced at the two little girls, Jianwu and Wudao, who were so tired that they fell asleep on the ground.

They huddled together for warmth, their fair faces with delicate features already covered in dust and dirt.

"I wonder what tricks Hua Ye has come up with and where she has gone?"

He frowned slightly and pursed his lips, his right hand tightly gripping the handle of the knife hanging at his waist. Only then did he feel the cold and couldn't help but shrink his body.

He climbed up the city gate, chewing a piece of bread in his hand, his sharp eagle-like eyes fixed on the sun that had just emerged from the sand slope.

He suddenly saw a figure moving in the desert ahead, squatting down and hiding in the city wall.

"Be on alert!"

He took a few quick bites of the steamed bun and spat it out without chewing it carefully. The archers around him immediately drew their bows and arrows.

With just one order, thousands of arrows would be fired, and those under the city would be killed or injured...

When Hua Ye was some distance away from the stone forest, he stood up straight, untied the belt of his yellow robe, revealing the pink-stained robe underneath.

Zuo Nian raised the spyglass and turned it around, and he saw Hua Ye's figure at a glance. The stained robe was particularly eye-catching.

"Stop!"

He signaled the archers to lower their weapons...

Hua Ye moved her sensitive little ears, and even her tall nose moved.

Ever since her internal strength broke through, her senses have been magnified countless times more than those of ordinary people. She can hear sounds three miles away clearly if she listens carefully.

She could feel the moisture in the gravel as soon as she touched it, and ordinary smells seemed a bit pungent, so she wrapped two layers of silk scarves around her mouth and nose.

The nighttime visibility of both eyes has also been greatly improved...

She noticed that the archers on the city wall had all laid down their weapons, and she walked towards the Xingxiu City Gate with even greater boldness...
