Chapter 365: Missing
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
If other countries saw that Xiongnu behaved like this every time, wouldn’t they
have other thoughts?
The Southern Barbarians that had been repelled more than 10 years ago had been watching them covetously!
It was true that conquering the country and the people consumed a lot of energy, but it was better to fight in one go than to struggle at death’s door, right?
After saying so much, those old things pretended to be deaf and mute. Pfft, they were all fools who were afraid of death and content with the current situation! In fact, in order to shut the officials up, she made a military pledge in front of the officials before she set off. If this trip failed, she would bear all the responsibility with Rong Yan.
However, with the Clairvoyant that her daughter had given her, her original 80% chance of winning had increased to 90%. She was even more confident.
As for what if they really lost…
At most, they would “die”.
It would be even better if the rations were more abundant. However, she knew that this was an extravagant hope. Great Xia was still recovering from the battle with the Southern Barbarians. Otherwise, they would not have tolerated Xiongnu for so long. If not for the appearance of the new grain seed, the Emperor would probably not have agreed to her sending troops even if she was willing to make a military pledge.
His Majesty had already mobilized the entire country to support this battle. It was not appropriate to make any more requests.
just as he was thinking, a soldier came to report from outside. “General, someone outside wants to see Miss Xiaoxiao. They said that they’re here to deliver food!”
Xiao Ran immediately walked out. “What’s going on?”
This soldier did not know the inside story. Fortunately, she happened to meet
Xiaoxiao, who was yawning on the way.
She had just used space teleportation to sneak out and arrange for some NPCs
to work. Now, she was already here.
The Crown Prince also received the news. When “Mr. Yuan” sent someone to send food over the previous two times, he was in the small courtyard and was under house arrest. Hence, by the time he found out that someone was sending food, those Yuan Family people would have long disappeared.
On this trip, he would definitely get someone to keep an eye on this group of strange people of unknown origins!
There was no such selfless person in the world. They must have a motive for sending food to the army. He had to investigate clearly and figure out where those people got so much food!
The Crown Prince’s men were only a step slower than Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran, so they happened to see the majestic grain cart at the entrance when they arrived.
Xiaoxiao stole a glance at her mother’s shocked and ecstatic expression and laughed in her heart. Since she had confirmed that Great Xia was going to fight a tough battle, there was no need for her to conserve her strength. She couldn’t just watch helplessly as these soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for the country and the people made things difficult for them and ignored them, right? Besides, the new grain seeds were about to be promoted anyway. It was not a big deal even if the name “Yuan Family” spread.
Not to mention Xiao Ran and the Crown Prince, who were seeing the Yuan Family’s generosity for the first time, even the experienced soldiers were stunned. “How many are there?
The NPC in uniform cupped his hands. “I heard that the Third Prince is fighting against Xiongnu. My Master can’t help anything else. Only the food saved over the years might be able to help a little.”
Xiao Ran scratched her head. She wanted to say that she couldn’t, but she couldn’t bear to. Under Xiaoxiao’s control, the NPC said, “My Master has already heard about the promotion of the new grain seed. Master has fulfilled all his wishes and doesn’t have any regrets. From today onwards, the Yuan Family will live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness and never appear again.”
Without waiting for anyone to react, he left the grain cart and left.
The Crown Prince immediately gave his subordinates a look and asked them to follow quietly. He went to Xiao Ran and Xiaoxiao. “He’s unaccountably solicitous. There’s nothing wrong with this food, right?”
Xiaoxiao glanced at him. “What problem? Too much food to handle?” The Crown Prince choked. “What I mean is, why would they send us food for no reason?”
Xiaoxiao pretended to be experienced and sighed. “The people at the border more or less have some enmity with Xiongnu. Is it very strange for them to send food to us for patriotism and revenge?”
“Besides, if they want to harm us, they can just watch us starve to death. Why waste so much food?”
These words made too much sense. Moreover, there were people in the army who specialized in checking if there were any problems with the food. With the help of Gongsun Zhongjing and the people from the Genius Doctor Valley, they knew that the grains were full and the rice cooked was especially fragrant. Other than that, there were no other abnormalities.
When the soldiers found out about this, they could not hide their smiles when they returned to their posts. The only person in the entire border city who was unhappy was probably the Crown Prince.
“You actually lost track of so many people? What are you doing?”
The person kneeling in front of him did not dare to breathe loudly. “We followed them well at the beginning, but later on, they entered a cave one by one. We were afraid of being discovered, so we waited for a while. However, when we entered, those people were all gone…”
The Crown Prince was furious. “So many living people disappeared just like that? Are you blind, or did you see a ghost in broad daylight?
The people who had followed the “Yuan Family” shivered. “Your Highness, we checked the surroundings after that and sent people to search the cave carefully. The strange thing is that we actually didn’t find any other way out other than the entrance…”
The Crown Prince thought that these were just excuses to hide their incompetence. “Continue searching! There are so many people. It’s impossible for them to disappear just like that! We have to find out what shameful business they have with Rong Yan!”
Judging others by his own standards, the Crown Prince felt that the Yuan Family must have been instructed to send food. Just like how he used the border land to make a deal with Xiongnu, Rong Yan must have agreed to their request that no one should know! As long as he caught hold of this weakness of his, there was no need to worry about him not being able to make a comeback. However, it was impossible to find the “Yuan Family” because Xiaoxiao had already put them back into her space and teleported away after Xiao Ran set off.
This time, she did not return to the Great Xia military camp. Instead, she ran to where the Xiongnu was.
Now, the NPCs were simply used as landmarks by her. She could leave one wherever she wanted.
The second prince’s residence was heavily guarded, but who would have thought that the infiltrator would be a cheater like Xiaoxiao?
After locating the space a few times, Xiaoxiao slipped into an empty room without anyone noticing.
Before she came, she had checked the information. The second prince had gone to discuss with his advisors and military advisers about the next way to retreat from the enemy. He would only return after at least two hours.
Xiaoxiao walked around the house and skipped over the ugly weapons and decorations. She rummaged through the cabinets to look for anything useful.
It could only be said that most treacherous people were good at hiding things. Xiaoxiao, who had searched for a long time and found nothing, was a little annoyed. If she delayed any longer, she would not be able to make it in time for Great Xia’s dinner and could not add any more ingredients to them.
Hence, she went all out and kicked down a stool.
The Xiongnu soldiers guarding outside the door immediately realized that there was a thief. As they guarded all the exits, they sent representatives to report to the second prince. Not long after, the nervous second prince rushed over.. “Where is he?”
