Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

night.

In Yan Country, lights were still flickering at a military base outside a space channel.

In the main tent, Chen Yue was handling military affairs. He rubbed his aching temple and looked at the candlelight on the table. These days, he had received some secret letters about the battle situation on the seashore. Most of the frontline had been occupied, and he didn't know how many people had been swallowed by the beast tide.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He was leading a personal army belonging to the Fifth Prince, and a force guarding the space channel. Both the personnel configuration and equipment configuration were extremely top-notch. If they could rush to the front line, there would definitely be good results.

But they also have a mission and cannot leave without permission.

On the other side of the passage is the Wild Ancient Territory. Although the monsters have reached a contract with the top immortal sects and the two royal families under the urging of the gods, the two sides have been in friction for tens of millions of years, and the prejudice between them is not so easy to let go. Therefore, the garrison in the space channel was retained to continue to monitor the movement of the space channel and prevent the monsters from backstabbing and attacking.

If he left his post without permission and caused an accident, his death would not be a pity, but he would be ashamed to face the people affected by the accident.

Just as his thoughts were drifting further and further away, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent.

"Stop, who is it?"

"This is a military stronghold. No passing. If you don't leave, we will not be polite!"

Chen Yue stood up from his seat, stretched his stiff muscles, and walked out of the tent.

"What's the commotion?" He opened the tent and saw the guards lined up in front of the tent, with their weapons pointed at a young man and a boy.

"Report to Marshal Chen, these two people suddenly appeared in the military camp, their identities are unknown."

"Yeah." Chen Yue's eyes wandered around the young man's face. He hesitated and said, "Xiao Xuan?"

"It's me." The young man's eyes passed over the guards and fell on Chen Yue, "General Chen, long time no see."

Hearing this, Chen Yue put away his guard and smiled, his face filled with the joy of meeting an old friend. He patted the shoulders of the guards in front of him and signaled them to put down their weapons: "Don't be nervous, he is an acquaintance."

"But this is a military restricted area..."

"He is not only familiar with me," Chen Yue interrupted the guard, "he is also somewhat friendly with Your Highness and is a guest of honor."

"This..." The guards looked at each other.

"Okay, everyone leave." Chen Yue waved his hand.

"Yes!" The guard withdrew as instructed.

"Four or five years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances." Chen Yue welcomed the two into the tent and his eyes fell on the stunning young man. "Who is this?"

"Xiao, let's be friends. Come with me to the ancient domain of Manghuang to handle some things." Xuan stated his purpose directly.

"Hmm, the breath is a bit turbid, it should be Saint level, the injury is a bit serious, just walked through the gates of hell, it is indeed safer to take this stable passage." Chen Yue only took a few glances and saw the general situation of Hong Xiao. He took out a jar of wine from the storage bracelet and shook it towards Xuan: "Are you in a hurry? Do you want to have a few drinks and reminisce about the past? I am bored here."

Hong Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise. This king-level guy in front of him seemed to have some skills. Now he was suppressing his strength with all his strength, and coupled with this broken body, he should be a weak mortal in the eyes of outsiders.

Xuan pushed the wine jar back: "Since you can see that he just escaped from the gates of hell, you should also guess that we are in a hurry."

"He's still alive and kicking, so I don't think there's any big problem." Chen Yue took back the wine jar in disappointment, "Come with me, I'll take you there, so you don't get any unnecessary interrogation and harassment. There have been a lot of new blood in the army in recent years, and they don't recognize you, just like those guards just now..."

Xuan suddenly threw a storage bracelet into Chen Yue's arms.

Before coming to this military camp, they went to a Yuanliu base to steal some things. Hong Xiao recognized at a glance that this was the storage bracelet that Xuan Sheng used to store those things.

Chen Yue took a look at the contents and looked at Xuan in confusion: "Yuan Liu's special elixir? What is this?"

"I can help you guard the other side of the passage. If you have any ideas, you can implement them." Xuan said.

"Hey," Chen Yue looked up at the top of the tent, "What do you mean? I was ordered to guard this place, how could I have any other ideas?"

"A general is not allowed to obey orders from the king when he is away from home," Xuan continued.

"My friend, what you said makes sense." Chen Yue put on a very serious expression, "Besides borrowing the road, is there anything else you need my help with?"

Xuan thought for a moment, then walked to the map and pointed to a location.

Chen Yue followed and showed an embarrassment when he saw the position of Xuanzhi: "This... is not the territory of Yan Country."

"Is it inconvenient?" Xuan glanced at him and didn't force him: "Then forget it."

"What are you talking about? We'll just let some reliable people disguise themselves as passing immortals. It's a rare opportunity for you to ask me for help, so how could I refuse?" Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Thank you very much."

"Hey, don't thank me. If it weren't for you, His Highness and I would still be drinking milk now."

"It's just a small favor, and it's what I should do."

"Don't be so modest. It's a ferocious beast. The guardian beasts following your Highness are no match for it. I guess only the adults in the royal forbidden area are capable of dealing with it. If you hadn't persuaded it, we would have been finished long ago. How could we still be chatting with you here?"

"..."

Hong Xiao found a random seat and sat down, silently watching the two people who started to brag about each other's business. He wanted to find someone familiar to complain to, but... he felt like an outsider and couldn't understand anything. Was this the "being fed dog food" that another self mentioned when he went to the arena one weekend?

He felt a little irritated. He seemed to have adapted to the existence of another self and was beginning to be unable to accept this feeling of loneliness.

……

The space channel was like a huge black hole, without a single ray of light. Hong Xiao looked inside and saw only chaos. It was hard to imagine what the scene on the other side was like.

In the blink of an eye, the large group of tents behind them disappeared, and they came to a place without stars and moon. As far as the eye could see was a black desert, and...

"Fox Flame, rise." Before Hong Xiao could adapt to the darkness of the new place, the person next to him suddenly spoke, and a gray flame bloomed in the night.

"There is an enemy..." The sound of the night watch monster alarm suddenly stopped, and where the sound came from, only gray flames were burning quietly.

"Kill them all?" Qing's eyes were filled with suppressed excitement. He remembered that the guy next to him had promised the king that he would guard the other side of the passage.

"We don't need to take action, and it's not convenient for me to do it. Wait." Xuan made a mark to convey the message, and then wanted to put his hand on Hong Xiao's shoulder, but the latter dodged sideways. He could only retract his hand with some embarrassment.

Not long after, the roar of wild beasts was heard nearby, and the monsters guarding the space channel became restless, and a war was about to break out.

The battle lasted until the sky turned white. A giant flaming bear covered in blood half-knelt in front of the two men and said, "Lord Wang Shi, the occupation has been completed. I wonder what your plan is for us to capture this place?"
