Leng Feng understood, so he ordered two meals from the inn. After they finished eating, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Shen Lianxin bought an alarm clock from the mall and set it to ring at 3 a.m. to prevent herself from oversleeping.

After a tiring journey, Shen Lianxin fell asleep quickly.

In the dream, the sky was filled with yellow sand and there were constant shouts of killing. Countless soldiers risked their lives but still could not stop the invading Hu people.

Shen Lianxin was very anxious. Looking at the lives that kept falling in front of her, she shouted hysterically, "Retreat, retreat quickly! Go!"

But the people around her seemed not to hear her voice and still charged forward desperately. Soon, the corpses in front of the city gate built a high wall. The invading enemies were shocked by this scene, and they were frightened and hesitated.

Behind them, the drums of war thundered, and someone shouted, "Generals die in a hundred battles, and warriors return after ten years! Blood will be shed in the northern border today, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!!"

"Don't be afraid!!"

“Don’t be afraid!!!”

There were only a few hundred people, but they shouted with the momentum of tens of thousands of people!

The enemy occasionally ridiculed us, but more often they showed us respect!

"Gu Dingbei!! Your Emperor Ying Dynasty refuses to support you and wants you dead. Why do you have to sacrifice your life for him? And the lives of these soldiers? If you join our Hu Meng Kingdom, I will guarantee you a life of wealth and honor, and grant you the position of a general who protects the country!!"

This was the last chance the Hu people gave him. They sympathized with each other on the battlefield. Even though they knew Gu Dingbei would not surrender, they still gave him the last bit of dignity.

"What I have served is not the imperial power, but the Great Ying Dynasty, the people of the world, and the people of this area. Stopping foreign invasion is the responsibility of the men of the Ying Dynasty, even if I am not a general. What is there to be happy about in life? What is there to be afraid of in death? Let's fight!!"

"Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!!"

Shen Lianxin's eyes were blurred with tears. This man was the husband in her memory, the hunter who could kill tigers, the god of war who protected the people.

A strong wind blew and yellow sand blocked the view. Shen Lianxin ran towards the yellow sand, wanting to take another look at the final outcome.

I woke up suddenly, my clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"Zero, zero, zero!!! Zero, zero, zero!!!" The sound of the alarm clock seemed particularly harsh in the quiet early morning.

Shen Lianxin turned off the alarm clock and put it into the space.

She changed into a black tight sportswear, tied up her long hair, pushed open the door, and Leng Feng was already waiting outside.

The two men exchanged glances without saying a word and headed out of the city.

The city gates were closed and Lingzhou City was under curfew at night. The two men climbed over the city wall and left quietly.

"Madam, I will go kill General Zhou and steal the tiger talisman. You will meet me outside. Then I will take the tiger talisman to the northern border to find the prince. He will send someone to lead the troops."

Shen Lianxin was startled. Leng Feng was planning this? That's right, what else could they do? He naturally thought that they were going to assassinate the man surnamed Zhou, and then seize the military power to support the northern border.

However, the military camp was heavily guarded, and it was extremely difficult to assassinate the commander in the army. Moreover, even if there was a chance, Leng Feng would probably lose his life here.

Shen Lianxin held him back, "We are not here to assassinate you."

Leng Feng was stunned. No assassination? What else could the two of them do?

"Cover me, I'm going to the grain depot. I have a way to get the grain away."

Leng Feng was puzzled, "Burning food and grass?"

"What are you burning? Take it away! Take it to our northern border."

Leng Feng's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Just do as I say..."

The two men conspired loudly, but fortunately there was no one on the roadside in the early morning.

When they arrived at the military camp, Shen Lianxin took out a large bag of firecrackers from her backpack.

Leng Feng was puzzled, "What is this?"

Ying Dynasty also had firecrackers, but they were completely different. Their firecrackers were really the sound of explosions made by burning bamboo.

It has nothing to do with gunpowder.

"These are firecrackers, something similar to firecrackers." Shen Lianxin explained simply.

Leng Feng didn't care how Shen Lianxin could take out so many firecrackers from her small backpack. He had long discovered that Shen Lianxin's backpack was unusual and she could always take out items that were far larger than the backpack's capacity. But after following Gu Dingbei for many years, he knew that he should not ask questions that he shouldn't ask and it was his duty to obey orders.

Shen Lianxin knew that Leng Feng was a reliable person, so she didn't try to hide it and just took out a bass drum and a set of external speakers.

Leng Feng was stunned. What were these? He had never seen any of them before.

"When the cannon sounds, you start beating the drum and press this button, okay?"

"Got it!" Leng Feng nodded. Although he was confused, the task was not difficult and could be completed.

Shen Lian was satisfied. "If they rush out, you just run away. You must not be caught. Do you understand?"

Leng Feng said he understood. After explaining things to Leng Feng, Shen Lianxin lit the firecrackers and began to draw the bow and draw the arrow.

The two of them fired together, and hundreds of firecrackers rushed towards the military camp under the flames.

A loud explosion woke up the soldiers in the army.

"What's going on? What's wrong?"

"The Hu people are coming? Where are they?"

"What's that noise? Where am I? Who am I?"

There was a great chaos in the army, but soon someone gave the order, "Don't panic, don't panic, hold your weapons and prepare to fight the enemy!!"

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!! Prepare to defend!!"

The soldiers quickly dressed and prepared to meet the enemy.

Seeing this, Shen Lianxin sneaked into the military camp under the cover of night and took advantage of the chaos to find the direction of food and grass.

Leng Feng saw that everyone was almost up, so he pressed the play button on the speaker, and suddenly loud shouts of killing cut through the night sky.

The enhanced large speakers, enlarged speakers, and stereo surround sound effects issued a deafening roar, "Kill!!! Kill!!! Kill!!!"

"Charge! Brothers, charge!!"

Then there was the sound of thousands of troops charging. Leng Feng was stunned. This, this...

He was stunned for a moment. What kind of precious magic weapon did their Crown Prince's Consort have that could create the illusion of such a huge army? It was truly amazing.

He didn't know that these were all sound clips of battles in TV dramas. Shen Lianxin spent only 10 yuan to buy a USB flash drive with the audio downloaded and edited as required. It was very convenient to just plug it in and use it.

Coming back to his senses, Leng Feng immediately started beating the war drums. With the music playing, there was really a momentum of an army of thousands coming to attack.

General Changsheng was stunned. "The northern border was lost? The Hu people actually reached Lingzhou? Why is there no news at all?"

The deputy general in the army looked around cautiously as if he was facing a great enemy. "Don't be afraid, General. Let the guards escort you first. I will follow behind."

"From the sound, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of troops. We should retreat to Lingzhou first, build defenses along the city walls, and then make plans."

"Okay, retreat to Lingzhou!"

Shen Lianxin went deep into the rear alone, and collected all the places she touched into her space. After several rounds of tossing and turning, most of the food and grass were collected.

Just as they were preparing to collect the last few carts of food and fodder, they heard someone shouting, "Oh no! The food and fodder is gone, all gone!!"

A group of people came rushing over upon hearing the noise. Shen Lianxin hurriedly sped up her actions and barely collected the last few carts. The soldiers who came widened their eyes, unable to believe that several carts of food and fodder had disappeared right before their eyes.
