The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Guan Yao left with a dark face and glared at Song Xiwan before leaving.

She must make sure Song Xi dies without a burial place!

Song Xiwan watched Guan Yao leave, then glanced at the others who were still looking at each other in confusion and smiled indifferently.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

They still shook their heads in unison.

In the blink of an eye, they all found excuses to leave.

Silence returned to the tent.

The aura around Song Xiwan dissipated a little, his brows furrowed as he unfolded the letter he had just received, his lips pressed into a straight line.

She tilted her head and asked the guard, "Is the news confirmed to be true?"

The guard replied, "We have checked it and there is no mistake."

Song Xiwan clenched the letter tightly; the words on it disturbed her mind.

——Qi Yi prepared to launch a surprise attack on the rear.

She knew that Qi Yi was no simple person, but she never expected Qi Yi to act so boldly, abandoning Yuzhou and launching a surprise attack from the rear!

"Has the prince received the news?"

The guard shook his head. "This was sent from Chidori Palace. The news will only reach Miss Song."

Unless Miss Song sends the message to Yuzhou.

Song Xiwan didn't do that.

The journey is long, and by the time we send the message and wait for a reply, the rear might have already fallen.

Moreover, if Qi Yi is not at the front line, it means that other commanders must have set up a plan, so there is no need to distract Xie Chengqian here.

She said in a deep voice, "Continue the investigation according to the original plan. Lead a small team to patrol the surrounding area. Report back immediately if you find anything new."

"Yes."

The guard agreed, then hesitated and asked, "Didn't Miss Song just say that she wanted to hand this matter over to General Guan?"

Song Xiwan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "She carefully planned this big drama, thinking that this would drive me away, but I'm afraid she will suffer the consequences."

Last time he faked being poisoned by Cangguo, and this time he faked a sneak attack by Cangguo's people.

Guan Yao really has good intentions.

Song Xiwan couldn't let this spoil the fun, so he specifically instructed the guards, "Be careful when you do your work, and don't get in the way of General Guan."

The guard's eyelids twitched.

He had been with Miss Song for some time, and when he heard the tone of her voice he knew that Guan Yao was in big trouble this time.

"My subordinate understands."

At this time, Guan Yao had already put on armor and said that he would go out to meet the enemy in person.

The generals who stayed in the camp all tried to dissuade him.

"General Guan is still recovering from his old illness. Don't be impulsive. The Cang people are always cruel and cunning. It would be bad if you fall into their trap."

"That's right. It's better to send someone out to investigate the situation first, and then wait for an opportunity to act."

"The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. General Guan, it would be better for you to calm down first."

"..."

Guan Yao looked extremely gloomy.

She was very angry since they defended Song Xiwan just now, and now they are trying every means to stop her plan.

Guan Yao glared at them fiercely and questioned, "When did you become so timid? The Cang Nation's main force is still in Yuzhou, and a mere surprise attack by a group of people has scared you so much?"

Not to mention, that person was arranged by her personally!

It was easy for her to solve the problem.

The soldiers looked at each other.

How can this be fear?

They were clearly being cautious, which was their usual style of doing things. On the contrary, Guan Yao was acting strangely today and was acting too aggressively.

They were still trying to persuade her, but Guan Yao made the final decision, "Song Xiwan has handed this matter over to me. I will handle it myself. You can just wait in the camp."

After saying that, Guan Yao mounted his horse and led a team away.

The soldiers couldn't help but get anxious, and they were discussing it angrily and annoyedly.

"What should we do? Guan Yao is still injured. If the other party sends a master, she will definitely not be able to escape."

"How about sending some more people to provide covert support?"

"Why? Our kindness has been taken for granted. Do you think she appreciates it? She even blames us for stopping her from launching an attack!"

After some discussion, several people finally let Song Xiwan make the decision.

No matter what, he was the person appointed by the prince to take charge.

Song Xiwan was not surprised by Guan Yao's actions, but she found it a bit strange that this group of people came to her house.

Is this a recognition of her status?

Song Xiwan ate his pancake leisurely, chewing and swallowing slowly before asking, "You and General Guan have known each other for many years, right?"

The soldiers didn't understand what Song Xiwan meant and just nodded.

Song Xiwan added, "Then we should trust General Guan. If she were a completely incompetent person, how could she have gotten this far?"

Everyone was shocked.

Makes sense!

Their impression of Lord Song improved a lot, and they even felt a little guilty in their hearts, as they had previously been prejudiced against Lord Song.

Including Guan Yao has always been hostile to Lord Song, but Lord Song trusts Guan Yao so much!

Song Xiwan took their expressions in stride and said with a faint smile, "But just in case, it would be safer for you all to strengthen the defense of the barracks."

"Yes!"

The soldiers had originally planned to do so, but now after hearing Lord Song's order, they admired her even more.

Who said Lord Song doesn't understand tactics?

Isn’t this considering the overall situation?

One of them also said, "But our defenses are not foolproof. Lord Song needs to be careful even in the military camp and must have the Purple Gold Guards with him for protection."

Song Xiwan raised an eyebrow and agreed to all of them.

She finally realized how easy it was to fool military generals.

……

The next day.

Everything in the barracks was business as usual.

Except that Guan Yao's team did not return for a whole day and is currently unavailable for contact.

"Report——"

"Traces of battle were found three miles away, and there are people related to the general!"

This news caused an uproar in the camp.

Song Xiwan was surprised.

Guan Yao couldn't even survive a day?

The other generals could not sit still at all and asked to go find Guan Yao themselves, fearing that the enemy would torture them and find out the situation in the camp.

Then they are finished!

Song Xiwan pondered deeply, then shook his head slightly. "General Guan led an elite force, yet they were beaten so badly that they had no chance to fight back. The enemy is not a simple one."

These words made everyone's heart sink completely, and tension slowly rose.

"Then, what should we do?"

A general asked Song Xiwan unconsciously, waiting for her order.

The others also tensed up, without the doubts of yesterday.

Song Xiwan asked in detail about the specific situation three miles away. Those who died in the battle were all Guan Yao's men. Their injuries were brutal and horrific, but the traces of their escape had been dealt with.

It is not known whether the remaining men are in the enemy's hands or in hiding.

If there has been no distress signal, the former is more likely.

Song Xiwan analyzed in a deep voice, "Search and rescue is necessary, but why didn't they kill the remaining people, but kidnapped them?"

Someone immediately answered: "Of course, to seize the military newspaper."

"uncertain."

Song Xiwan felt that the other party was deliberately bluffing, or perhaps trying to intimidate them and cause them fear.

If you lose your composure at this moment, you will fall into an irretrievable situation.

She made a decision, "Wait a little longer."
