Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Xingxing, eat your food properly." He tried his best to hold back, knowing that his Xingxing had a big appetite and that she would be hungry later if she ate so little.

But then Chi Xing hugged him, burying her warm face in Zhao Yuheng's shoulder and giving him a light, shallow kiss, forcing Zhao Yuheng to surrender.

A muffled voice sounded in my ear: "Ayu..."

With just a soft call, Zhao Yuheng tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup, then turned his head and kissed those incessantly chattering lips.

The wine swirled in their mouths. After a moment of eye contact, Chi Xing exhaled, stood up, picked up Zhao Yuheng, and walked behind the screen.

Zhao Yuheng wrapped his arms around his neck, continuing the kiss as they walked.

……

"Host, the troops of the Gao Man Kingdom have arrived at the border. There are spies in the border army who let them in. They will disguise themselves as civilians and sneak into the capital." 004 said, holding his little system.

As winter passed, Zhao Yuheng received a lot of news, and he had already been corresponding with Chi Yang.

Okay, I'll be careful.

Zhao Yuheng wrote a secret letter on the desk and summoned his bodyguards to personally deliver it to the border.

After a winter of investigation, Chi Yang has identified who has connections with Linzhou City.

Upon receiving Zhao Yuheng's secret letter, Chi Yang returned to his camp at night, as was his usual routine.

On a dark and windy night, a few birdsongs echoed through the forest, followed by another birdong in response.

"Hurry, everyone hurry up."

A man dressed in black stood at the forest exit and spoke to the people emerging from the forest.

"Wait a minute." The person who came out looked wary and spoke in broken Dongqi dialect.

"Let's exchange the code first." The man was burly, standing in the darkness like a small mountain.

The man in black nodded and uttered a coded message.

After both sides confirmed their identities, the man in black said, "Come this way, and be quiet. I will take you into the city later, but you must head towards the capital overnight and cannot linger in the border town."

The bearded man scoffed, "So what if we linger in the border town? You people here are thin and weak, what can you do to us?"

"Hmph, you are welcome to linger and try. If General Dong Qichi discovers you, not only will you lose your heads, but I will also lose mine."

Upon hearing Chi Yang's name, the leaders all fell silent. He was a ruthless man who had once killed two of their Gao Man Kingdom's generals, ultimately forcing them to cede territory and pay reparations.

The bearded man was furious, his eyes flashing with malice. He muttered, "If only I had joined the army a few years later, that pretty boy wouldn't be so arrogant."

The man in black remained silent, inwardly cursing him as an idiot.

They walked along the pathless area towards the city gate, bypassing the military camp, which made the people following them feel much more relaxed.

They weren't afraid as long as they didn't encounter that ruthless pretty boy.

"This time, once we've rendered a great service, the King will surely value His Highness," someone behind them said.

The bearded man chuckled, "Zhao Linheng promised that as long as we help him, he'll give us five cities, hahaha."

The person leading the way had dark eyes, and the path became increasingly erratic. He pretended not to hear what the others were saying. As they got closer to the city gate, all they saw ahead were tall weeds that were taller than a person.

"This isn't a road at all, how did you lead the way?"

The man in black recognized the bearded man as the second prince of the Gao Man Kingdom based on their conversation.

For a prince to dare bring thousands of people to Dongqi shows that these people don't take Dongqi seriously at all.

"The road here is like this. Prince, you should hurry up. There are so many people. It wouldn't be good if someone noticed us."

The second prince sneered, and his knife slashed fiercely at the man in black's neck, but stopped just before it made contact.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

The man in black said calmly, "My family is in the hands of Prince Lin. I have no other choice."

"Hehe, this method is not bad. I, the prince, will learn it in the future."

He kicked the man in black in the shin, his voice harsh: "Aren't you going to lead the way?"

The man in black continued forward, pushing aside the tall grass. The second prince followed closely behind him, followed by thousands of others.

They walked for a long time, and the mosquitoes in the grass made the second prince curse loudly.

"Where the hell are you taking us? Why are we still not here?"

As he was about to draw his sword, a sudden gust of wind blew the grass in front of him, and a thorny branch struck the second prince hard in the face. He quickly stepped back to avoid it.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black who had led the way had vanished without a trace.

"No, I was fooled!"

As soon as the second prince finished speaking, a heavy clatter of crossbows rang out, followed by the continuous sound of arrows piercing through the grass.

Screams echoed from behind, and the sound of sharp blades slicing through the air grew closer. The second prince reached out and pulled the people behind him to shield them from the arrows.

Only then did he notice that the arrow was larger and longer than ordinary arrows.

With another "whoosh," the people around the second prince fell one by one, and suddenly an arrow shot out.

He couldn't dodge in time and used the man from before as a shield, but this time the arrow actually pierced through the man's body and the arrowhead went straight into the second prince's abdomen.

"Forehead!"

The second prince fiercely cleaved the arrow in two, covered his wound with his hand, and tried to find a direction where there were no arrows to escape from.

The screams from behind grew louder and louder. Seizing the opportunity, the second prince struggled to pry open the bushes in front of him, trying to escape.

When he saw the path illuminated by the moonlight outside, a hope for life ignited in his heart.

However, the next moment, a man holding a long sword stood in front of him.

"The Gao Man Kingdom has breached the agreement, the peace treaty is null and void, Second Prince... surrender."

Clad in silver-white armor, the second prince instantly recognized the man, gritting his teeth as he drew his greatsword.

"Pretty boy, you think you can catch me? Prepare to die!"

As the blades clashed, Akaya showed no sign of backing down, defeating his opponent in just a few moves.

"You won unfairly, and I'm injured!" the second prince roared.

Chi Yang curled his lips into a cold smile: "I will never treat pigs and dogs with courtesy."

On the battlefield, only a fool would talk about morality and righteousness; survival is the only hard truth.

This is a lesson Chi Yang learned from decades of fighting on the battlefield: if he were even a second slower, he would be hacked to pieces by the enemy.

He hasn't gone home to see his parents and younger brother yet, Chiyang can't die.

The thought that these people were going to the capital and that they were plotting a rebellion, while his younger brother was still in the palace, fueled a surge of intense anger.

Every slash was aimed at the second prince's vital points; there was no intention of leaving him alive.

"Report——"

"Urgent report from the border—"

Zhao Yuheng sat on the dragon throne, listening to reports from his subordinates, while the assembled officials listened attentively.

"Zhao Linheng colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. He joined forces with Deputy General Xu of the border to lead the second prince of Gaoman Kingdom to attack the border city. General Chi led his men to wipe out thousands of people from Gaoman Kingdom overnight, and the second prince of Gaoman Kingdom was killed by General Chi."

"reward!"

The emperor was overjoyed, and Zhao Yuheng said repeatedly, "Well done! The Gao Man Kingdom broke the treaty, and I will punish them. Which of my ministers is willing to lead the expedition?"

A military officer stepped forward; this was an opportunity to earn merit, and no one wanted to miss it.
