With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Night Owl nodded repeatedly, but he was very happy in his heart.

The soldier pointed at the surrounding terrain and began to explain incessantly.

From the hills in the east to the rivers in the west, from the woods in the south to the villages in the north.

He told everything, no matter how big or small.

As Night Owl listened, he calmly memorized this information in his mind.

He had already started thinking about how to use this information to give Java a "surprise".

He even secretly observed the surrounding terrain.

I even silently memorized the directions of several crooked trees.

The soldier was talking until his mouth was dry, but Night Owl was listening with great interest.

Night Owl chatted with the soldier for a while longer, talking about all sorts of nonsense.

Further observed the surrounding terrain.

He even silently memorized the directions of several crooked trees nearby.

"General, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Ye Xiao pretended to say goodbye.

"Go, go!" the soldier waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Night Owl turned and left, but his heart was already filled with joy.

He found a secluded place and took out a small bamboo tube from his boot.

Inside was a special potion and a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing.

He wrote the information he had gathered on silk, then soaked it in potion, and the silk immediately turned blank.

Then he tied the bamboo tube to the leg of a carrier pigeon and released it.

This carrier pigeon has been specially trained and can accurately deliver information to Lu Yan.

After doing all this, Night Owl let out a long sigh, with a smug smile on his face.

He had already seen the expressions of shock and joy on Lu Yan's face after he received the information.

The night owl returned along the mountain road, in a happy mood, humming an unknown tune along the way.

As he passed by a forest, he suddenly heard a faint groaning sound.

He stopped alertly and walked towards the sound.

After pushing aside the dense bushes, he was shocked by the scene before him...

What came into view was a woman in gorgeous clothes, lying on the ground in a mess.

Her dress was stained with mud and torn in several places, revealing her snow-white skin.

The woman had a beautiful face, and even though her face was pale at the moment, it couldn't hide her noble temperament.

However, she was breathing weakly and was dying at the moment, obviously seriously injured.

Night Owl frowned slightly, thinking to himself:

"The Java dam collapse has really affected everyone. Even people of this status have been swept here."

He originally wanted to leave at this point. After all, saving people was an unnecessary trouble for him.

But the woman's eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

It seemed like a silent cry for help, which made Ye Xiao's heart inexplicably soften.

"Damn it, what's wrong with me?"

Ye Xiao cursed himself inwardly, he has always been decisive in killing.

You have never been kind-hearted, why are you suddenly so fussy today?

"Forget it. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I'll just consider it a good deed."

He hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, bent down, and gently helped the woman up.

The wounds were mainly concentrated on the legs and arms, although not fatal.

But if he loses too much blood and is not treated promptly, he probably won't live long.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Night Owl asked softly, with a gentleness in his voice that he himself didn't even notice.

The woman didn't react, but just trembled slightly.

The night owl picked her up and found that she was as light as a feather and could be blown away by a gust of wind.

He took the woman back to his hiding place - a secluded cave.

He took out some simple medicine from his pocket and carefully treated the woman's wound.

He got these medicines from Lu Yan, and he usually doesn't want to use them.

I didn't expect that today I would use it on this Javanese woman whom I have never met before.

After treating the wound, Night Owl found some clean water.

Gently wipe the stains off the woman's face.

As the stains faded, the woman's original face gradually emerged.

It was an extremely beautiful face, with features as delicate as sculptures.

Her skin is as white as jade, and even in such a miserable state, it is still difficult to hide her stunning beauty.

Night Owl looked at this face and couldn't help but be stunned.

He has traveled all over the country for so many years and is quite knowledgeable.

But this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman.

After a long time, the woman slowly opened her eyes.

She looked around in horror, and at the strange man in front of her.

"You...who are you?"

The woman asked weakly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, but filled with undisguised fear.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Night Owl tried to make his tone sound gentle as he pointed at the wound on the woman's body.

"I just saw that you were injured, so I helped you take care of it."

The woman looked down at the wound on her body and found that it had indeed been bandaged.

She was silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at Night Owl, still with suspicion in her eyes:

"Why...why did you save me?"

"I……"

Ye Xiao was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he was just soft-hearted, right?

That's too embarrassing.

"I was just passing by and saw you were injured, so I offered to help."

After hearing this, the woman's eyes lightened slightly and she said softly:

"Thank you for saving my life, sir. I am Aisha, the princess of Java."

"Princess?"

Ye Xiao's heart moved. He didn't expect that the person he rescued was the princess of Java.

This is really a pleasant surprise. Perhaps, she can become an important chess piece in his hands.

Seeing that Ye Xiao remained silent, Aisha thought that he did not believe in her identity.

She struggled to get up, but it hurt the wound and she gasped in pain.

Seeing this, Night Owl quickly stopped him and said:

"Your Highness, your injuries haven't healed yet, please don't move."

Aisha lay back helplessly, with pain in her eyes, and said:

"I got separated from my guards and was unfortunately injured. Please, sir, take me back to Java."

Night Owl pretended to be silent for a moment, then said:

"Your Highness, Java is in great trouble now. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go back."

"Why not recuperate here first and make plans after the situation stabilizes."

When Aisha heard this, she became anxious and said:

"No! My father must be looking for me everywhere. I must go back!"

Seeing her insistence, Ye Xiao went along with it and said:

"Since Your Highness the Princess insists on returning, I will escort you."

"However, things are not peaceful in Java right now, so we need to proceed with caution."

Aisha nodded gratefully and said:

"Thank you, sir."

Night Owl hid Aisha deep in the cave and released the carrier pigeon again to tell Lu Yan about this.

The carrier pigeon flew away in the night, while the night owl stayed at the entrance of the cave, thinking about the next plan.

Aisha's identity undoubtedly provided him with an excellent opportunity.

An opportunity that could influence the entire battle situation.
