The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Jiang Yan already had ideas about this place without Ye Zhan telling her.

However, when it comes to the territory of Daqian, the two of them have no say.

Especially now that the emperor of Daqian is the eldest brother, with the word "imperial power" hanging high in front of them, they can no longer make the decision. They are afraid that the eldest brother will be suspicious, and they are also afraid that someone with ulterior motives will instigate, and if things go wrong, the brothers will become alienated.

For the sake of Daqian's peace, the couple had to be cautious and not let anyone find fault with them.

At this moment, the couple suddenly felt that it was completely right for the old man to come and help them, as it could save them a lot of trouble.

The couple confirmed the location of the mines with General Ming, and then ordered their personal guards to dig the pits.

Mingli, Mingtang, and Hu Jianqiang also took the lead and acted together with these guards.

General Ming held the blueprint drawn by Ye Zhan in his hand and showed it to Ming Li and the others.

Mingli and the others had some questions in their minds at first, but after looking at the blueprints, the doubts in their minds suddenly became clear.

Mingtang's eyes brightened even more. "Father, how did Prince Rui come up with this idea?"

"Father doesn't know either. You can only ask King Rui."

"Father, how dare I?"

General Ming encouraged his two sons and Hu Jianqiang, "On the battlefield, Prince Rui's strategy is slightly superior. If you can learn even a little bit of Prince Rui's skills, it will benefit you throughout your life."

The two brothers of the Ming family and Hu Jianqiang benefited greatly from their father's words.

Next, the three of them circled around Ye Zhan in a somewhat servile manner.

Ye Zhan saw through their intentions, but did not point them out. Instead, he tried his best to satisfy their desire to learn.

It was not until dusk, when they wanted to return to the city, that they saw the first scout returning.

Seeing General Ming here, the scout told General Ming what he had learned about the situation of the Northern Barbarian army.

Ye Zhan, who was standing nearby, also heard clearly that the northern barbarians had learned to lie low and endure hardships in recent years.

So this comeback must have cost a lot of money.

When General Ming asked the scouts to return to the city to rest, the words "not optimistic" were written on his face.

"I didn't expect the northern barbarians also got explosive packs and catapults."

"The catapult is easy to deal with. As long as it doesn't get close to the city wall, it's just a decoration. As for the explosive packs, we have to be more careful about them."

Ye Zhan said this, but he didn't care in his heart.

After all, his own trading mall has the most advanced thermal weapons, so how could he take the northern barbarians' artillery and explosives seriously?

That is, what he is thinking about now is how to reduce casualties to the lowest level, and it would be perfect if there were no casualties.

Jiang Yan: Work hard! Come on! I'm rooting for you!

In this way, Ye Zhan and his men worked here for two days and finally dug out all the mine pits.

The third scout also arrived. The moment he saw General Ming, he knelt on the ground. "General, please send someone to rescue... my son." The man's ordinary face was covered with tears. "He's only twelve years old."

General Ming's face changed when he heard the scout's words. Everyone here knew that if the scout fell into the hands of the enemy, he would be dead.

Or the kind that requires suffering and torture before death.

Jiang Yan couldn't bear to hear this, so she asked the scout, "When was your son captured?"

"This morning."

"How many miles are the northern barbarians from here?"

"Based on this morning's speed, the northern barbarians are probably only about eighty or ninety miles away from here."

"I'll go save him." Jiang Yan looked at the sky, glanced at Ye Zhan, and urged her horse to go north.

The scout had never expected that Princess Rui would go alone to rescue her son.

Ye Zhan looked at his wife's back and quickly ordered, "Let's bury the mines quickly. The faster the better." The scout saw the round objects buried in the pit and knew they were extremely lethal. He approached Ye Zhan stealthily and asked, "Your Highness, if we bury all these things, what will happen if the princess returns?"

"She won't be troubled here." After Ye Zhan finished speaking, he asked the scouts to retreat and asked the people who stayed behind to plant mines to speed up.

Jiang Yan used her special ability to blend herself and the horse into the withered grass and trees as best as possible. She wanted to find the child before dark.

But when Jiang Yan crossed a mountain ridge, she was stunned when she saw the overwhelming number of Northern Barbarian cavalry coming towards her.

"How many people are there?" Jiang Yan looked at the endless Northern Barbarian cavalry and was a little worried about how to find the child.

You know, it's still daylight at this hour, so the child should be safe. If it were dark, the child would definitely be in great danger.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan put away her mount and continued to check the nearby terrain.

After she had taken a thorough look around, she secretly said, "God help me."

It turned out that the ridge where she stopped was like a funnel, and the area under her feet was exactly the narrowest part of the funnel.

So Jiang Yan squatted down, disguised herself, and stared at the Northern Barbarian cavalry who were shouting and passing by below, hoping to find the child as soon as possible.

It was just that those Northern Barbarian cavalrymen ran so fast that Jiang Yan had to split her gaze into several parts to chase them.

Just when Jiang Yan was wondering if her eyes would be damaged if she continued staring like that, she noticed a person being dragged along by the carriage carrying supplies behind her.

Judging from his figure, he should be a teenager.

Jiang Yan no longer hesitated. She used her wood-related abilities to quickly form a large net bag the color of dead grass. She then put the child into the net and used her protective color to drag the child to the dry grass nearby.

Jiang Yan waited until she was sure that the child was unconscious before teleporting him back to the west hill.

Jiang Yan first put the child on the grass and wanted to check the child's injuries.

You don't know until you check. After Jiang Yan checked all the injuries on the child's body, she realized that the child's injuries were very serious.

The front of the child's body was almost completely covered in scrapes from sharp rocks, leaving a bloody mess with not a single piece of intact skin. The child also had two broken ribs and both leg bones broken.

A twelve-year-old child had suffered such a severe injury. Jiang Yan knew that with the medical technology of that era, the child would most likely not survive.

Save people to the end and ferry them to the shore.

Jiang Yan slowly transferred her wood-type abilities into the child's body. She first repaired the child's broken ribs, then the leg bones, and finally the skin and flesh injuries on the child's body.

An hour later, Jiang Yan's wood-type ability was almost exhausted, and the child's breathing gradually stabilized.

"Where am I?"

Hearing the weak voice, Jiang Yan smiled and answered him: "This place is not far from the north city gate. After Aunt Jiang rests here for a while, I will take you back to Black Stone City."
