The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

"What's going on? What do you mean you can't move forward?"

"What's ahead?"

After hearing this, Pei Qingning and Yan Jiaojiao, who were standing next to Jiujiu, stretched their necks curiously and looked at the spy who was reporting outside.

What's ahead?

"The army is approaching from the front." The spy said, "I wonder where the army is coming from?"

Qin Nian, who was driving the carriage, also looked into the distance through his clairvoyance and said, "Princess, the spy is right. We can't move forward. The army is approaching and we can't get through."

"Strange, looking at the attire of those soldiers, they seem to be from Dongcang Country."

"Dongcang Country, has actually appeared in the world?"

Qin Nian had lived long and seen a lot, so he recognized the people from Dongcang at a glance.

But he was very confused. The Dongcang Kingdom had been secluded from the world for many years, unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the outside world, and unwilling to allow outsiders to enter their country. Why did they suddenly come into the world now?

There's also a big one coming.

As soon as they came out, the army approached and arrived at the border of Western Chu.

What do they want?

Jiujiu lifted the carriage curtain, took the Clairvoyance from Qin Nian's hand and took a look. After reading it, she murmured, "No wonder I have been so nervous these days. Sure enough, something happened to Xichu."

"They suddenly sent a large army to the border of Western Chu. I'm afraid they want to catch Western Chu off guard."

Qin Nian nodded, "I think so too."

"What, the army is approaching?" Pei Qingning was so scared that his face turned pale and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Yan Jiaojiao looked at Jiujiu worriedly.

The princess hurried back home to see her parents, but she didn't expect to see a large army approaching.

She must be very confused!

Jiujiu was very confused, but she understood that Pei Qingning and Yan Jiaojiao must be scared at this moment. She turned around, looked at them soothingly, and said, "Don't be afraid, we are fine for now."

The one in trouble is Xi Chu.

If Dong Cang and his men suddenly attack Xi Chu, Xi Chu will be caught off guard and will suffer heavy losses.

My father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephews will definitely be in danger.

"How should I tell my father and mother that the army of Dongcang Kingdom is approaching?" Jiujiu said, holding his forehead.

Qin Nian asked: "Won't the border guards tell?"

Jiujiu shook her head. "Seeing how peaceful Xichu seems, I'm worried that all the border guards have been killed. Now the border guards of Xichu are probably replaced by people from Dongcang Country."

"The Dongcang Nation wants to appear quietly and catch us off guard."

"So what should we do next?" Although Qin Nian has lived to this age, after spending so many days together, he has also realized that in some aspects, he is really not as good as Jiujiu.

So at this moment, he subconsciously asked Jiujiu what to do?

Jiujiu pondered it carefully, took off a jade pendant from her neck, handed it to Qin Nian, and said, "Qin Nian, take this jade pendant and find a way to sneak into Xi Chu and tell father the news that the Dongcang army is approaching."

"When the emperor sees this jade pendant, he will definitely believe what you said."

"As for the obstacles ahead... I believe that with your skills, it won't be a problem to avoid them."

"What about you, Jiujiu?" Qin Nian was worried that something might happen to Jiujiu after he left.

"You don't have to worry about me." Jiujiu was going to visit the Dongcang Kingdom's camp in person to see what their situation was and why they suddenly sent troops to Xichu.

No, not just Xichu.

Jiujiu speculated that there must be a large army from Dongcang on the southern border.

Brother Dijiang must be careful!

"How could I not be worried?" Qin Nian looked at Jiujiu as if he was looking at Jiao Yan, his heart full of responsibility to protect her, "Princess, Qin Nian will definitely protect you."

"Then won't you help me protect Xichu? Xichu is my home!"

"..." Qin Nian remained silent.

Jiujiu asked again: "Then you won't help Jiaoyan protect Xichu?"

"This..." Qin Nian weighed the pros and cons for a long time, struggled with his heart for a long time, and finally compromised.

"Okay, I'll find a way to enter Xi Chu." Qin Nian closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Princess, you must take care of yourself."

"it is good."

Qin Nian left immediately.

Jiujiu settled the people accompanying him nearby, and he and a few secret guards went to explore the camp of Dongcang Kingdom at night.

It was late at night, and they set up camp and rested.

The entire camp was quiet, with soldiers patrolling the periphery.

In order to avoid being discovered by the people of Western Chu, the soldiers did not need to report to the higher authorities if they spotted people from Western Chu or if officers and soldiers from Western Chu were approaching. They would make the decision on their own and kill them on the spot.

And if you kill one, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver.

Encouraged by this, the patrolling soldiers all stared with wide eyes, watching to see if any Western Chu people entered, and not letting any one go.

Because of this, it was a little difficult for Jiujiu to get in.

At this moment, Jiujiu was wearing a nightgown and a mask, hiding behind the bushes, her beautiful eyes fixed on the patrolling soldiers in front of her.

"How come these people never slack off for a moment?" Jiujiu muttered.

Several secret guards behind her said, "Princess, how about we go up and lead them away?"

“No, no, no.” Jiujiu raised his hand, signaling them to stay calm. “Don’t alert them. Wait and see if they leave. If they really don’t leave…”

Jiujiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the dense forest beside him. Although it was winter, there were still many green trees in the forest. "There should be many old friends in this forest."

"Yes." The secret guard gave Jiujiu a thumbs up. "Princess, you are smart. It is more cost-effective to let tigers, lions, wolves, bears or something to lure away the patrols than to do it ourselves."

Jiujiu smiled and said, "Then call a few wolves over!"

Jiujiu said, summoning the nearby wolves with his mind.

After a while, a dozen wolves ran towards Jiujiu.

Jiujiu told them with his mind to attack the guards patrolling nearby, but not to fight too long, just lure them away.

The wolves howled to the sky, responded to Jiujiu, and ran towards the patrolling guards.

Each of them was drooling, with green light in their eyes and fangs bared, looking extremely ferocious.

"Suddenly, where did the wolf come from?"

"Ahhh, don't bite me, don't bite me?"

"Let me go?"

Several soldiers were bitten on the legs by wolves that suddenly pounced on them. They struggled desperately and howled in pain.

The leader of the soldiers was puzzled: "We have been guarding for two days. There were no wolves in the past few days, so why are there wolves today?"

"Could it be that they were summoned by the people of Xichu?"

"The only person in Xichu who can tame beasts is the little princess of Xichu!"

"Could it be that the little princess of Xichu is back?"

"where is she?"

The leader who was speaking was hiding from the wolf while patrolling the Western Zhou Dynasty to see where Jiujiu was.

When Jiujiu, who was hiding behind the bushes, saw this, he narrowed his eyes and felt very uneasy.

She was worried that she would be discovered, and even more worried that she would not be able to enter Dongcang's camp. She would not be able to understand why Dongcang suddenly sent a large army to attack, and thus solve the problem of Dongcang.
