Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao, who had been in seclusion for three days, finally came out of their respective spaces.

Wang Xinyao didn't bother to tidy up her slightly messy temples, and looked anxiously at Zhao Haoxuan beside her, her eyes full of concern.

"Brother Zhao, how are you feeling? Is everything going well?"

Although she has made some progress in the space during these three days, her heart is always on Zhao Haoxuan.

The ultimate technique inherited from the power of blood was extremely dangerous, and she was well aware of the difficulty involved.

Zhao Haoxuan took a deep breath, and a powerful aura naturally came out.

He raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a calm smile and gently held Wang Xinyao's hand.

"Xinyao, I have accomplished my mission. I have completed the top-level technique of bloodline power."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinyao's worries disappeared and her eyes instantly turned into pure joy.

"Great! After the matter of Li Kingdom is concluded, we can go to Zaihu County to find Mr. Wu to receive the inheritance!"

She then talked about her own progress in cultivation, and the two smiled at each other, both feeling sincerely happy for the other's breakthrough.

Before the joyful atmosphere had fully spread, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps was heard outside the courtyard.

Zhou Yunxi, Zhou Shen, Xie Xiaogang, Gu Ze, Chen Liangxian, Xie Dahua and others entered the room with anxious looks on their faces.

"Your Highness! Madam!" Zhou Yunxi, the commander-in-chief, took the lead and stepped forward. "I have urgent military information to report!"

His eyes swept over Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao, and seeing that they looked even better than before, he felt a little relieved, but then he was overwhelmed by the heavy bad news.

"Last night, the granary was raided by the hermits of the Japanese!" Zhou Yunxi spoke faster.

"They had strange movements and clear goals, causing nearly 80% of our military rations to be burned, leaving us too late to even salvage them!"

"At the same time, the medical camp in the west of the city responsible for treating the wounded was also attacked and harassed by a large group of hermits. Several sentries were killed, and our subordinates failed to pursue them effectively, allowing their leader to escape."

As soon as Zhou Yunxi finished speaking, Xie Xiaogang, who was standing behind him, suddenly knelt on one knee, buried his head deeply, and his voice trembled with suppressed emotion.

"This general neglected his patrol duties and caused this disaster. Your Highness and Madam, please punish me severely according to military regulations!"

Zhou Shen, Gu Ze, Chen Liangxian and others present also looked ashamed, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

After Zhou Yunxi finished his report, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Haoxuan, waiting for his thundering wrath.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Haoxuan did not get angry.

Zhao Haoxuan's gaze first fell on Xie Xiaogang's tense back, then swept across the faces filled with anxiety and heaviness, and finally returned to Xie Xiaogang...

"If Xiaogang hadn't reacted quickly, warned in advance and rushed to surround the enemy,

Those hermits did not just burn some of the food.

Their real plan was to use the storage bags to empty the entire warehouse of grain!

Fortunately, you responded in time. Although you failed to stop him from setting fire, you completely disrupted his pace.

They were forced to act hastily, ultimately leading to their near annihilation. Otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous."

He didn't expect that he and Xinyao would encounter such a thing the first time they left the team. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the entire army needs to be improved in the future.

At this point, a hint of understanding and approval flashed in Zhao Haoxuan's eyes.

He stepped forward and personally helped up Xie Xiaogang, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Xie Xiaogang looked up in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Xiaogang, get up." Zhao Haoxuan's voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty: "Not only are you innocent, but you have made great contributions!"

"Your Highness?" Xie Xiaogang was confused and thought he had misheard.

"That's right, you deserve a great contribution!" Zhao Haoxuan repeated affirmatively, looking around at everyone.

"In the face of danger, you remain calm, foresee opportunities, and act decisively. If it weren't for your extraordinary vigilance and courage to act decisively,

What we are facing at this moment is an empty granary, which is a real disaster!

You thwarted the enemy's plot at the lowest cost and saved our army's food and fodder supply. This achievement deserves a reward!"

He patted Xie Xiaogang's shoulder with a steady force that conveyed trust and affirmation.

Xie Xiaogang's eyes instantly turned red. The huge pressure turned into excitement and gratitude. He choked up and couldn't speak.

He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. Then he remembered something and quickly took out two inconspicuous bags from his arms and presented them with both hands.

"Your Highness, Madam, while clearing the battlefield, we seized these two items from the deceased hermit."

Wang Xinyao took the small bag and probed with her spiritual sense. Sure enough, there was a space inside. Although it was not big, it was enough to store her personal belongings.

She pondered for a moment, her eyes swept over everyone's waists, and finally landed on Chen Liangxian's bloated medicine bag and Liu Yi's simple luggage.

"General Liu, Master Chen." Wang Xinyao handed over two storage bags respectively, "Among all of you present, you are the only two who don't have such portable items.

I will give this to you two, hoping it will be helpful in arranging supplies in the future."

Chen Liangxian bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your gift!"

General Liu Yi, who came from the capital and was originally just a "guest army" rather than the prince's personal army, was now trembling with excitement.

He never imagined that as an "outsider", he would first be given the precious Spirit Gathering Pill to improve his cultivation, and now he could even obtain the legendary immortal item "Storage Bag". It was like a dream!

He knelt down with a thud, his voice choked with sobs: "General Liu Yi, I bow to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife for their grace!

Your Highness and Madam have been so kind to me that I could never repay you with even a fraction of your kindness, even if I die nine times. From this day forward, I and my men will follow your Highness and Madam's lead!

I will follow His Highness and Madam till death, no matter how hard the sword or the sea of ​​fire is.

To him, this storage bag is not only a treasure, but also a symbol of supreme trust and acceptance.

"General Liu, please get up quickly. You are a general under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We are family and there is no need to be polite." Wang Xinyao gently asked him to get up.

Liu Yi stood aside excitedly, stroking the storage bag he had just received, his face full of joy as if he had found a treasure.

Zhou Yunxi waited for Liu Yi to stand still, then took another step forward and asked the most pressing question at the moment.

"Your Highness, Madam, the granary has been destroyed, and the food reserves are less than 20%, which is only enough to sustain the army for a few days.

The army will set out tomorrow, what should we do with the food and fodder?

Is it urgent to send troops from the rear? However, the journey is long and dangerous, and I am afraid that distant water cannot quench this nearby fire."

An army without food will fall into chaos. This is a big taboo in the army.

Everyone's attention once again focused on Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao.
