“Quick, move aside. I have something urgent to report to General Xiao.” “The general is resting. You can’t go in. Someone, drag him away.”

“I really have something urgent to tell the general. Don’t pull me away! I want to see the general!”

In the tent, Xiao Qirui had just drunk the medicine and was about to rest when he heard the commotion outside. He lit the oil lamp that had just been extinguished and instructed, “Xiao Li, let him in.”

There was a moment of silence outside. The tent curtain was lifted and a barefoot young man with disheveled clothes rushed in.

Xiao Qirui was slightly stunned. “Liu Jinbao?”

“General, that girl… Song Huan brought people to blow up the black gunpowder!” Liu Jinbao tried his best to calm down, but his voice still couldn’t stop trembling.

Xiao Qirui was shocked.

“What did you say?”

A female voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked out of the tent and saw a woman rush in. Without a word, she grabbed Liu Jinbao’s collar and picked him up. “What did you say just now?

What happened to Sister Huan?”

“Madam Song?” Xiao Qirui thought that he was hallucinating for a moment. It was not until he saw the handsome man who followed the woman in that he was sure that he was not mistaken.

“Why are you…”

According to the normal speed, it would take them about a month to get from the Xuanyuan Kingdom to Nanling Pa.s.s.

Song Jingchen nodded at him. “We’ll talk about it later.” Then, he looked at Shen Yijia and said, “Jiajia, let go of him.”

When he found out that Song Jinghuan had run away from home and followed the army to the border, he had written to Xiao Qirui and naturally knew that Song Huan was the name that girl used in the army.

Shen Yijia obediently let go and said with a cold expression, “Tell me, what happened to Sister Huan?”

Liu Jinbao fell to the ground. At this moment, he recognized the person and hurriedly got up. “She found out where the Wu Kingdom’s army placed the black gunpowder and brought people to destroy it.”

“When did she leave? Do you know where the black gunpowder is hidden?” Song Jingchen asked.

“I…” Liu Jinbao was speechless.

He had been knocked unconscious by that girl. He didn’t know where the black gunpowder was or when Song Jinghuan went.

Seeing him like this, Song Jingchen had already guessed it.

“I know where their black gunpowder is hidden,” Xiao Qirui interrupted. With that, he walked to the desk and took out the map.

“The Wu Kingdom’s army is stationed in this valley. The black gunpowder is probably here.” He pointed at the locations. “Without alerting the Wu Kingdom’s army, it will take at least two hours to travel from here to this location.”

He paused. “I wonder when that girl left.”

Song Jingchen looked at the hourgla.s.s beside him. “When was the last time the patrol team on the city tower changed s.h.i.+fts?” Xiao Qirui was stunned and reacted. “11pm.”

It was currently past midnight.

Shen Yijia’s heart sank. “Isn’t that an hour and a half ago?”

“Don’t worry, we should be able to make it in time.” Song Jingchen rubbed Shen Yijia’s head and comforted her.

“I’ll get some people to go with you,” Xiao Qirui said.

“No need. If there are too many people, we’ll be easily discovered by the enemy’s scouts.”

The night was dark. Behind a rock somewhere outside the tent, a few pairs of eyes stared in the direction of the tent.

“Little lieutenant, they’ve all gone to sleep,” Tang Shun reminded him softly.

Song Jinghuan, who was leaning against the rock with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and turned around. As expected, there were only more than a hundred people patrolling the camp.

She observed for a moment and roughly figured out the patrolling troops everywhere. She said seriously, “Go according to the plan. Sun Hao, the four of you, go around to the left. After releasing the deer and causing a commotion, immediately return to the place where we stopped the horses. Tang Shun, you guys do the same. Go to the right and release it. Remember not to stay around for long.”

There were a total of ten people, and one of them was guarding their horses outside. The little general had sent all of them to lure away the patrolling soldiers. Then who would sneak in and get some black gunpowder?

One didn’t need to think to know the answer.

“No,” they said in unison.

At first, they were indeed quite afraid, but when they really arrived, their excitement had long exceeded their fear.

When they did this, they would be heroes of Great Xia, the kind that would be immortalized in stories for generations.

Song Jinghuan glared at them. If they spoke any louder, they would have attracted the attention of the enemy.

Sun Hao lowered his voice and said, “My parents died early and I don’t have any other relatives. I have nothing to worry about. Little lieutenant, let me go..”
