Naval station.

Food and weapons were stolen, and the entire barracks was in chaos.

Shi Bao had nothing to do, so he sneaked into the barracks to watch the fun.

Mu Xueyan was also in a good mood. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds, sat on a mountain not far away, and ate the seeds happily, enjoying the show she had led.

"Master, the carrier pigeon has arrived."

Shi Bao flew back from the military camp and almost laughed himself to death: "The commander of the military camp was so angry when he saw the late news that he vomited blood. He vented all his anger on the carrier pigeon and insisted that his subordinates kill the carrier pigeon and pluck its feathers to vent their anger."

"Cut~~"

Mu Xueyan spit out a mouthful of melon seed shells and sneered disdainfully: "He has no ability to guard the granary, but he falsely accuses the pigeon. Does he have any shame?"

"If he had any dignity, he wouldn't have put the blame on the pigeon."

Shi Bao agreed with a smile: "Now the garrison troops throughout Xiliang should have received the message and stepped up their alert."

Mu Xueyan said disdainfully: "Is it useful for them to be on guard?"

Shi Bao supported him very enthusiastically: "Of course it's useless. If we work together as master and servant, we can easily get food and weapons."

"Haha."

Mu Xueyan was eating melon seeds and almost burst out laughing: "Shi Bao, you really have a talent for singing opera."

"Owner."

Shi Bao rubbed his hands, full of energy: "Where are we going next?"

"Southwest Fortress, Three Border Cities."

Mu Xueyan spit out the last mouthful of melon seed shells and stood up from the ground with a domineering look: "Back then, Xuanyuan Li used conspiracy and trickery to occupy the three border cities. I will make him suffer a heavy defeat in the three border cities."

"Owner."

Shi Bao's eyes lit up: "What are your plans?"

"This time..."

Mu Xueyan's lips curved slightly, revealing a charming arc: "Give a big gift to the border guards of Beichen."

---

Late that night, in the southwestern fortress and three border cities.

The gates of Hancheng, one of the three cities, were wide open.

The garrison troops in the city fell into a coma without realizing it, and the Beichen army entered the city gate easily as if they were in an empty space, and captured all the generals defending the city.

The same thing happened in the other two cities.

The garrison troops in the city fell unconscious on the ground without realizing it, as if they were possessed by an evil spirit.

The entire city was like an empty city, with no one defending it.

After receiving the message, the Beichen army broke into the city gate without bloodshed and recovered the lost territory.

Beichen's soldiers were so excited that no one noticed the man and spirit hiding in the void.

"The master is amazing."

Shi Bao's big black eyes sparkled, and he was full of admiration for his master: "The Enchantment Incense Wind blew them down, and it was effortless to recapture the three border cities."

"It is easy to attack a city but difficult to defend it."

Mu Xueyan saw it clearly: "Xuanyuan Li cares most about the three border cities. When he gets the news, he will definitely mobilize troops and attack frantically. Next, it depends on whether they are capable of defending the city."

"We can help a little more secretly."

Shi Bao covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "Set up an ambush on the way of the reinforcements and rob them. This way, we don't have to run around looking for the barracks."

"You have a smart little brain."

Mu Xueyan gave Shi Bao an appreciative look and said, "Okay, let's do this. We will wait for them to fall into our trap."

"whee."

Shi Bao received praise from his master and smiled happily.

Xiliang Palace.

Xuanyuan Li was furious when he received the news from the border.

He immediately gave an order and personally led an army of 300,000 to the border, vowing to retake the three border cities.

Xuanyuan Jifeng volunteered to follow his father into the army.

When Murong Hui heard that Xuanyuan Jifeng was going to the battlefield, her hand holding the teacup paused and a vague smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Brother Xiao’s son is indeed a star general. He dares to go into battle and kill the enemy at the age of ten.

When he grows up, he will hold the military power in his hands.

The day of revenge is not far away.

Southwestern border, Hancheng.

The three border cities temporarily belonged to Beichen. Mu Xueyan had her own plans. She chose an inn in the city with few guests and a relatively remote location. She paid the room fee and lived there happily.

Without the Xiliang soldiers searching, Xuanyuan Xinzi had no scruples and showed his true face, accompanying his cute little niece and going out for a stroll in a horse-drawn carriage.

Hancheng has always been a battleground for military strategists and has changed hands several times over the decades.

The residents in Hancheng include people from Beichen and Xiliang.

The people living on the border have become accustomed to surviving in the cracks. As long as their lives are not in danger, they can muddle through and survive in such a harsh environment.

The Beichen army regained the lost territory without bloodshed.

The generals in charge of the army did not know who was helping them secretly, and out of fear of the gods, they issued a death order, forbidding the soldiers to harass the civilians.

Hancheng experienced a smooth transition and people's lives remained normal.

Except for the change in the appearance of the soldiers guarding the city, nothing else seemed to have changed.

Mu Xueyan drove the carriage leisurely on the bustling street.

The shops on both sides of the road had their doors open and were filled with guests.

The vendors who make a living by setting up stalls shout at the top of their lungs to attract customers.

The carriage creaked as it went along the streets and alleys, passing by the general's mansion.

Xuanyuan Xinzi lifted the gauze curtain of the carriage, looked at the gate of the general's mansion, and thought of the events of ten years ago. She couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes again.

~~

Ten years ago, she held her wedding here and married Xiaolang.

She still can't forget how excited she was when Xiaolang carried her down from the sedan chair.

Like all brides, she was full of beautiful dreams for the future.

I hope that the couple will live in harmony and stay together for life.

~~

"Aunt San, do you want to enter the general's mansion?"

Mu Xueyan lifted the car curtain, poked her little head in, and looked at her with a smile.

"Can you come in?"

Xuanyuan Xinzi's heart trembled.

Mu Xueyan smiled slyly: "Others can't do it, but we can definitely do it."

"think."

Xuanyuan Xinzi nodded, inexplicably excited.

"okay."

Mu Xueyan drove the carriage around a corner and stopped at the back wall of the general's mansion.

Xuanyuan Xinzi lifted the curtain and got out of the car. Looking at the courtyard wall that was several meters high, he was a little dumbfounded.

"It's done, don't make any noise."

Mu Xueyan took out two invisibility talismans and stuck them on her body, then grabbed Xuanyuan Xinzi's arm and jumped.

Xuanyuan Xinzi covered her mouth with her hands and didn't make a sound in shock.

The two of them climbed over the courtyard wall and landed lightly at the corner.

In front of me is a peony tree with lush branches and leaves.

June is the season when peonies bloom. The trees are full of flowers, which is a beautiful sight.

"Is this a peony?"

Xuanyuan Xinzi looked at the blooming flowers and couldn't help shedding tears again: "The day when Xiaolang and I first met was also in June. The peonies in the general's mansion were also like this, blooming and competing with each other for beauty."

"At that time, Xiaolang smiled at me, the flowers were in full bloom, and he was more beautiful than the flowers."

"My heart fell in an instant."

"I thought that when Xiaolang used flowers to describe people and praised my beauty, he had me in his heart."

"I didn't expect that he didn't love me in his heart, but was just thinking about someone else towards me."
