A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

While the group was chatting, Cheng Ying suddenly thought of something and asked, "Hey brothers, does anyone know anything about formations?"

Ye Wuhen asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"That's right. I just heard from Master Moyu that he was trapped in a stone forest by the Grand Preceptor of the Ancient Wood Kingdom. The Grand Preceptor of the Ancient Wood Kingdom is using an array."

"I was thinking, if we get there and Master Moyu is still trapped in that formation, how will we rescue him?"

Ye Wuhen nodded and said, "I have done some research in this area before, but I'm not very proficient. Let's see how it goes when we get there!"

"Alright, as long as we're not completely clueless on our side, it'll be fine!" Cheng Ying was actually quite open-minded; she believed in letting things take their natural course and that a solution might come in time.

To keep moving forward, they didn't stop even at night. Cheng Ying sent her fellow disciples back to their space, while she and Ye Jinxuan stayed outside to keep watch.

The night passed quickly, and at dawn they arrived outside Lingzhou City. Since it was now winter, the wind was chilly and whistled like knives.

There were some early arrivals outside the city gate. Since it was still early and the city gate had not yet opened, they were waiting at the foot of the city wall.

This time, Cheng Ying and her group did not go through the wall directly because it was unnecessary. So they waited until dawn when the city gate opened before entering through the main gate like normal people.

Just as the city gates were about to open, Cheng Ying moved several of her fellow disciples out of the spatial dimension.

After paying the silver from Jincheng, the group took a carriage to the yamen. Why didn't they go directly to General You? It was because they didn't know where the city guard's camp was.

However, they could easily find out the location by asking around. Soon, they arrived at the yamen gate, where two yamen guards stood watch, carrying large swords.

Ye Wuchen and Ye Jinxuan took the lead; in a place like this, it's easier to get things done if you have a higher status.

As soon as they arrived in front of the two constables, one of them spoke.

“Where did this kid come from? This is not a place for you to play. If you have any problems, go find your parents.”

This constable spoke in a proper and respectful manner, and wasn't too annoying.

So Ye Jinxuan said good-naturedly, "Go tell your adults that His Highness Prince Rui has come and ask him to come out so we can talk."

One of the constables asked again with suspicion, "Your Highness Prince Rui, is there any token of Your Highness's authority? I'd like to explain this to the magistrate once we're inside."

Ye Wuhen then realized that without a token, and since the other party didn't know him, they would definitely recognize him based on the token.

So he found his token jade pendant in the spatial storage, took it out, and handed it over.

The constable respectfully took it with both hands and looked at it. There was a "瑞" (auspicious) character on it, so he quickly ran inside to find his superior.

Less than fifteen minutes later, hurried footsteps could be heard running outside.

Soon, a man in official robes strode in. When he saw the children outside, he couldn't help but think that His Highness Prince Rui was indeed quite young.

So he stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Gentlemen, which one of you is His Highness Prince Rui? I am Jiang Dawei, the magistrate of Liguang City in Lingzhou."

Ye Wuhen nodded and said, "I am Prince Rui, Ye Wuhen, and this is Crown Prince Ye Jinxuan."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dawei, the magistrate of Liguang City, was surprised to learn that even His Highness the Crown Prince had come.

So he immediately stepped forward, lifted his robe, and was about to kneel down. Ye Jinxuan hated this kneeling and kowtowing etiquette the most, so he quickly stopped him:

“Magistrate Jiang, there’s no need for such formalities. We’ve come to see you on business.”

When Magistrate Jiang heard that they wanted to see him, he quickly stepped aside and gestured for them to go to the back hall of the government office.

After the group was seated, a maidservant immediately served tea. Magistrate Jiang bowed and asked, "May I ask what business Your Highness Prince Rui and His Highness the Crown Prince have with me?"

Ye Jinxuan took a sip of water and said, "His Majesty said that Imperial Preceptor Moyu was trapped in the Stone Forest in Lingzhou by Imperial Preceptor Gumu."

"You can ask either Magistrate Jiang or General You to lead men to rescue Grand Preceptor Mo Yu!"

Ye Jinxuan changed what the Imperial Preceptor Mo Yu said to what the Emperor said, thus reducing the amount of explanation required.

Magistrate Jiang nodded and said, "Alright, I will immediately assemble the men and head to the Stone Forest now."

"However, I would still like to send someone to inform General You. After all, we don't know the situation there yet, and if there are too many people, it would be safer with General You around."

Ye Jinxuan nodded and said, "Okay, no matter what, we need to get to the Stone Forest as soon as possible."

Magistrate Jiang immediately sent someone to inform General You, and at the same time began to gather manpower.

Before long, the soldiers had assembled, and the group set off in a grand procession toward the Stone Forest.
