The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen
Chapter 402: Food Must Not Be Left Behind
In Yundu City, the afterglow of the setting sun casts a golden hue on the bluestone streets.
The street vendors were packing up, with relaxed smiles on their faces as they closed their stalls and went home.
Several children chased and played as they ran past the corner of the street, their clear laughter echoing in the air.
On the city wall, the flag of the Xia Kingdom fluttered gently in the breeze. The soldiers guarding the city stood upright, their eyes gently gazing at the peaceful scene in the city.
"Old Xie, look over there." A young soldier touched the arm of his companion next to him.
He pointed in the direction of the curling smoke from cooking fires in the city: "The people of Li Country can finally live their lives in peace."
Old Xie nodded, his rough fingers stroking the new pistol at his waist.
"Thanks to the guns Madam provided, we were able to capture Yundu so quickly. Now even the people of Li Country are grateful to our Xia Army."
In the central square of the city, a group of women in white medical uniforms were training.
Their movements were in perfect unison, and every palm strike was accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air.
These days, they have consumed the Spirit Gathering Pill, and the worst one has reached the Grandmaster level.
"I heard that Madam has refined a new elixir today." A round-faced female doctor whispered to her companion, her eyes full of admiration.
"I wish I could have one tenth of Madam's ability."
Just as his companion was about to answer, everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing, turned towards the main tent, and saluted respectfully.
In the distance, Wang Xinyao, wearing a light yellow long dress, was walking slowly. Although her belly was obviously bulging, her steps were still calm.
"Hello, Madam!" the female doctors greeted in unison.
Wang Xinyao smiled and nodded, "Keep practicing. We'll be leaving in three days, so everyone should be ready."
"Yes, ma'am!"
In the main tent, Zhao Haoxuan, Zhou Yunxi and others were studying the terrain of the next city in front of a sand table.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, he immediately turned around and went to meet them, carefully supporting them.
"Xinyao, you've worked hard!" Zhao Haoxuan's eyes fell on the pale blue under her eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly. She didn't get any rest last night.
Wang Xinyao took out an exquisite jade box from her sleeve: "Brother Zhao, this is for you."
Zhao Haoxuan took the jade box and his eyes widened as soon as he opened it.
Five golden pills lay quietly on the velvet lining, emitting a faint spiritual fluctuation.
"This...is this a second-grade Golden Pill?" Zhao Haoxuan stroked the Golden Pill's moist lines with his fingertips. His voice was low and trembling with disbelief: "Xinyao, have you been promoted to a second-grade Golden Pill Master?"
Wang Xinyao nodded, with a hint of fatigue but satisfaction in her eyes.
"You've been helping me collect herbs and have been neglecting your training. These golden elixirs should be able to help you break through your bottleneck."
"Give all these to me? What about you?" Zhao Haoxuan asked hurriedly.
"I have more here." Wang Xinyao looked at the commanders of each camp and a group of confidants, and gave them each a first-grade golden elixir.
"Ma'am, do I have one too?"
Gu Ze looked at her in disbelief. He was not a soldier from Xia Country, he just came here halfway.
This is a golden elixir, and their entire family cannot produce even one.
"Since you are here, you are one of us and we will treat you equally." Wang Xinyao replied with a smile.
"My prince will be in seclusion for the next two days to break through. Three days later, we will attack the next city as planned."
Zhao Haoxuan added worriedly, "General Zhou, Mr. Zhou, Xiaogang, you must be careful during your night patrols and never let your guard down."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Madam, you can all go ahead and break through without any worries. We will definitely defend the city." Zhou Yunxi, Zhou Shen and the others saluted.
Wang Xinyao turned her gaze to Xie Xiaohua and Chen Liangxian.
"Dahua, you and Master Chen must protect the medical team. If there's an emergency, send me a note."
"Yes, girl." Xie Dahahua replied.
Chen Liangxian took a step forward and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Madam, please rest assured."
Now, he has the aura of an eighth-grade Martial King in his body, and has quietly surpassed Xie Dahua. This talent is truly worthy of the title of "son of a general".
"Don't worry, ma'am. Nothing will happen with me, Gu Ze, here." Gu Ze grinned and slapped the breastplate with his palm as big as a palm fan, making a clanging sound.
At three quarters past the hour of Xu, most of the soldiers in the barracks had entered a state of cultivation.
In the shadow of the city wall, a large number of dark shadows sneaked into the tents under the cover of night. They were the Yamato hermits under Fujiwara no Tora.
Soon, they found the location of the grain and quietly opened the door of the granary.
The mountains of sacks in the warehouse almost touched the roof, causing the hermits' pupils to shrink.
The leading hermit used the tip of his knife to pry open the seams of the sack, and snow-white rice grains poured out like a waterfall, splashing on the black scarf covering his face.
His Adam's apple rolled as he whispered hoarsely, "All...high-quality white rice? Xia Jun is... so rich..."
When the black shadow sneaked into the granary, Xie Xiaogang and the patrol team just turned the corner of the camp.
As the left captain of the Flying Tiger Battalion, he knew that the more peaceful the times, the more he should not let his guard down.
"Everyone, cheer up." Xie Xiaogang whispered, "The Wo Lie people have been very active recently. They might make some moves."
When they approached the granary, Xie Xiaogang suddenly raised his hand to signal the team to stop.
He sensed an unusual aura.
"Who's in there? Come out!" Xie Xiaogang shouted sternly, and at the same time signaled the soldiers to disperse and surround the granary.
Deep in the granary, hundreds of dark shadows clung to the rice stacks.
The person who sang this song has two fingertips embedded in the palm of his hand...
The light from the patrol's torches was already flickering at the warehouse door.
He raised his palm and slashed down, and the hermits immediately huddled in the shadows.
Storage bags also stopped shipping food.
"Who's in there? Come out, or I'll shoot!" Xie Xiaogang yelled.
However, there was no movement in the granary.
"Captain, did you hear it wrong? There has been no movement for a long time. Maybe a wild mouse bumped into the rice bag..." A soldier lowered his voice.
Another soldier couldn't help but stretch his stiff neck.
"Captain, after this shift, the brothers can go try out the new Qi Gathering Pills..."
His dantian was hot and he had been stuck at the peak of martial arts for half a month.
Ever since he took the Spirit Gathering Pill given by his wife, he felt that his cultivation level could break through at any time, and he couldn't wait to practice.
We have occupied Yundu City for some time and it has been peaceful. I think it is very safe.
The hermit in the granary was very happy when he heard this.
As long as the people outside leave, Xia Kingdom’s food will belong to them.
Xie Xiaogang paused for a moment and began to identify it carefully. There was indeed no problem, so he felt relieved.
"Okay, let's go look somewhere else..."
After finishing the walk, he and everyone else were about to leave.
After taking just over thirty steps, the sound of gravel breaking under the soles of his boots suddenly stopped.
There was a barely audible creaking sound coming from the granary beams...
As my strength gradually increased, my hearing also improved.
He raised his hand and made a pause gesture, and the soldiers present began to be alert.
Xie Xiaogang pointed at the gun in his hand, and everyone understood and immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the exit of the granary.
"Bang~bang~"
As the gunshots rang out, several dark figures fell to the ground...
"Oh no, we found out."
Inside the granary, the leader of the Wolie people screamed in shock. He had no idea what kind of hidden weapon this was that was so powerful.
He pulled out a tinderbox, staring at the stacked sacks with bloodshot eyes, and gnashing out an order through gritted teeth: "This food must not be left to the Xia army. Burn it immediately. Retreat before the encirclement is complete!"
