Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Mu Xianyun seemed to sense something, and for a moment he thought he saw Li Yinyin's figure. But when he looked more closely, he couldn't see her, so he thought he must have seen wrong.

At this time, Li Yinyin and Banxian'er had already left the original place and returned to their temporary residence in the city.

Li Yinyin felt particularly tired for some reason, but the fortune teller showed no surprise and simply told her to go back and get some rest.

The next morning, when Li Yinyin came looking for Banxian'er while yawning, she found that his room was empty.

“Your Highness,” a servant handed her a letter, “the Imperial Advisor said to give you this letter; you’ll understand after you read it.”

Li Yinyin opened the letter and understood that Banxian'er, after seeing the changes in Mu Xianyun, planned to go to Jiangguo again to see Yin Hong and Xijiangyue as a precaution.

She put down the letter and asked, "Did the Imperial Preceptor take any luggage or travel expenses with him when he went out? Did he have any companions?"

The man thought for a moment: "When the Imperial Preceptor left, he only carried a small bundle and did not give any other instructions."

Li Yinyin sent someone out to inquire and learned that Banxian'er was traveling with the Tong family's merchant caravan. Only then did she feel relieved. She then found someone else to rush up and deliver the goods to him. She also sent someone to inform Jiang Guo's subordinates, telling them to take good care of him. Only then was she somewhat at ease.

Li Yinyin returned to the capital and plunged back into her endless busyness. But remembering the fortune teller's instructions, she also remembered that she often used Li Chengming to practice her aura-gazing technique.

At first, Li Chengming felt a little uncomfortable, but gradually he became less bothered by her gaze.

Thanks to Li Yinyin's persistent efforts, just as the half-immortal returned from Jiang Kingdom, she finally managed to sense a faint, hazy aura emanating from Li Chengming.

Unlike Mu Xianyun, Li Chengming's aura, though equally mysterious, was even more domineering.

After making progress with Li Chengming, it became much easier for Li Yinyin to see Yu Qiaoyun. She could even vaguely see that the aura above Yu Qiaoyun's head was solid and almost bird-shaped.

Just as she was about to write to the fortune teller about this, she received a message from her subordinate saying that the fortune teller was already on his way back.

Li Yinyin was not busy lately, so she decided to go pick him up.

The two met at the border of the Ming Dynasty and were about to head back when Banxian looked at the sky and his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Master?" Li Yinyin glanced over there. "These fiery clouds are so beautiful, it's like they're dyeing the sky red."

"Take a closer look," the fortune teller said casually, taking the fortune plate from his waist. He fiddled with it for a moment, then with a flick of his wrist, the fortune plate flipped over and fell to the ground.

This time, Li Yinyin finally realized something was wrong. The fortune teller was never unsure of the fate plate, which could only mean that something extremely unusual had happened over there, making it impossible for him to even perform divination.

Li Yinyin examined it carefully for a while before saying, "Such a heavy aura of injustice."

The fortune teller nodded and said, "Let's go take a look."

"Xiao Fu, bring a few skilled men with you."

After Li Yinyin left a message for Li Chengming, the group headed north and soon arrived at the border between the Ming Kingdom and the Beiqi Kingdom.

As she hesitated, the fortune teller urged her, "Keep going."

The group carefully bypassed the border of the Northern Kingdom and traveled for another day before seemingly getting closer to their destination. After crossing a mountain, just when everyone thought they would have to spend the night in the wilderness again, they witnessed an incredibly bloody scene.

In the valley below, there were layers upon layers of severed limbs, and the land in the valley was stained red with blood.

Four words instantly popped into Li Yinyin's mind: hell on earth.

She suppressed her nausea and vomiting, signaled everyone to hide, and she herself, along with Banxian'er, hid behind a tree to observe.

The surroundings were quiet, devoid of any human presence, but the howling wind, like a roar or a furious bellow, sent chills down one's spine.

“Your Highness,” a girl from the Golden Crow Guard pointed to a tattered flag, “that is the military flag of the Xu family army of the Northern Wei Kingdom!”

"Xu Jiajun?" Li Yinyin took a while to find her voice. "Go down and see what's going on."

The group cautiously descended, trying to find someone to survive, but none of them succeeded.

The fortune teller grasped Li Yinyin's trembling hand: "Focus your mind and observe the qi."

Li Yinyin closed her eyes, suppressing her discomfort at the bloody scene before her, and focused on observing it closely.

The valley was filled with a palpable aura of blood, but whether it was unrelated to Li Yinyin and the others, or whether it was because they knew she intended to save them, the originally malevolent aura and howling wind softened, allowing Li Yinyin to quickly identify several unusual spots.

"Under the third locust tree in the northwest."

"Under the sixth poplar tree on the south side."

……

As soon as Li Yinyin spoke, the Golden Crow Guards sprang into action, finding three soldiers who were still alive. Two of them were in a state of suspended animation, and all they could do was try their best and leave the rest to fate.

Li Yinyin separated two people to take these people to a small hillside to temporarily settle them and administer medicine. She then led the remaining people across the battlefield to continue searching the remaining areas.

The further Li Yinyin went, the more alarmed she became. The horrific scene in that valley was just the tip of the iceberg; it wasn't even the main battlefield.

The real main battlefield was elsewhere, and there, Li Yinyin saw General Xu's command flag.

That was the Xu family army, known as the national protector of Beixi Kingdom. General Xu, the marshal of the Xu family army, was renowned for his strategic planning and brilliant military tactics, and was considered a war god by the people of Beixi Kingdom.

Li Yinyin found General Xu's banner and saw his unseeing corpse. She felt sad, but subconsciously began to plot.

For the past three years, the Ming Dynasty has focused on domestic affairs. Firstly, it aimed to streamline its internal affairs, enrich its treasury, and improve the lives of its people. Secondly, the Ming Dynasty's military strength was insufficient; it needed to prepare thoroughly in all aspects, including military training and overall planning, to ensure confidence on the battlefield. Thirdly, the countries bordering the Ming Dynasty were mostly large, powerful nations with deep-rooted resources and strength. To compete with them, favorable timing, location, and popular support were all essential.

Now, the corpses of Xu's army are strewn across the land, yet no one is collecting them; something terrible must have happened in the Northern Kingdom.

Perhaps, after three or four years, the Ming Dynasty will have another opportunity to send troops.

After searching everywhere, Li Yinyin and Banxian'er only found fewer than ten survivors.

Because it was inconvenient for them to move, they had no choice but to stay nearby for a while.

Two of them, whose injuries were not particularly serious, woke up the next morning after receiving treatment. As for the rest, some died from their injuries, and only five people survived. Among them, one was General Xu's strategist, and the other two were his junior officers.

On the third day after Li Yinyin and the others went into hiding, there was movement on the battlefield.

The people who came were not from the Northern Xiong Kingdom, but from the Mumu tribe, enemies of the Xu family army. They had come to collect the bodies of the fallen Xu family soldiers. Although it was just a fire, at least the bodies weren't left to rot in the wilderness.

Seeing the raging fire, Li Yinyin's Golden Crow Guards did not move, nor did the two Xu family soldiers who had been rescued by Li Yinyin and others and were able to help take care of their comrades.

It's not that they don't want to act, or that they don't hate, but that they can't.
