Chapter 18 The General's Little Darling
Chapter 18 The General's Little Darling
The Crown Prince and Xiao Shen and others discussed the matter for a long time before finally settling on a solution.
On the other side.
Ji Xiaosong slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.
Xiao Shen has not returned since leaving last night, and Ji Xiaosong has gotten used to it.
A man's career is very important, especially when it involves life and death.
After stretching on the tatami, Ji Xiaosong called Rongrong over.
"I'm planning to go into the space to check on the ripening of the grains. You keep an eye on things outside for me. There are too many people around here, and I'm afraid someone might suddenly come in and discover that I've disappeared."
"Don't worry, go in. I'll keep watch outside for you."
A soft light flashed, and Ji Xiaosong's figure instantly disappeared from the couch, entering her own space.
Upon entering the space, Ji Xiaosong headed straight for the farmland.
All the crops in the fields were ripe, the golden ears of wheat were heavy, and the plump grains seemed about to burst through their husks.
The leaves of Chinese cabbage are thick and tightly wrap around the heart of the cabbage;
The mustard greens are lush and green, and ready to be harvested and pickled;
The radish poked most of its body out of the soil, plump and white, making it very appealing.
Ji Xiaosong was overjoyed. She casually picked a radish, wiped it on her clothes, took a bite, and found it to be sweet, juicy, and delicious.
"Not bad, not bad. As long as all the spiritual energy inside is removed, it can serve as King Qi's food supply without any problem."
Using her mind, Ji Xiaosong harvested all the grains, vegetables, and fruits in the space and placed them on the ground to the side before leaving the space.
[How's it going, Ah Song? Have everything in your space matured yet?]
"Of course, I didn't expect this period to be so short. With the supplies in my space, Xiao Shen's army can be sustained for at least a month."
"By the way, last night I overheard Xiao Shen and his men planning to steal King Qi's provisions tonight. Do you want to put your things in there too, so they can succeed?"
"Of course, that's what I planned too. During the past few days in the Northern Sky, I removed all the markings from the purchased items, so even if Xiao Shen and the others investigate, they won't find much information."
Rongrong and Ji Xiaosong made a simple plan: once Xiao Shen and his team set off, she would simply wait at the Qi King's granary.
As night deepened, Xiao Shen led a team of elite soldiers, stealthily making their way towards the Qi King's granary like ghosts.
Ji Xiaosong and Rongrong had hidden themselves in the shadows near the grain depot.
She kept a close eye on the guards' positions around the grain depot, silently calculating in her mind.
She had already scouted the area and knew that there was a weak point in the defenses behind the grain depot.
So Ji Xiaosong came up with a plan, took out a tinderbox from his pocket, and lit a small pile of dry grass that he had prepared in advance.
The fire flared up instantly, billowing thick smoke.
"It's water! It's water!"
The guards on duty immediately spotted the thick smoke, and some of them were drawn to the fire and ran towards it.
At this moment, Xiao Shen saw an opportunity and immediately led his team to rush towards the main gate of the grain depot.
Our scouts had already investigated and found that there was only one door here; the only way to take the supplies was through this door.
However, the main gate was still heavily guarded, and the two sides instantly engaged in fierce fighting.
Ji Xiaosong hid in the shadows, feeling anxious and uneasy.
"Ah Song, aren't you a spirit of plants? Couldn't you help them grow? I see several thorny vines behind you. If those guards of the Prince of Qi get entangled in the vines right now, wouldn't that create an opportunity for Xiao Shen?"
"If I had the ability to grow lots of vines right now, why would I need to grow so much food in this space? I could just grow it outside, wouldn't I?"
Is it that she doesn't want to do something that can be done with just a few clicks of her finger?
Do not!
It's her fault!
If she were truly powerful enough to defy heaven and earth, she wouldn't have had to travel through countless worlds as a human.
The punishments given by the gods are to be reborn as humans, not as livestock, which shows how difficult it is to be a mortal.
However, she was not discouraged. Her current low magical power did not mean it would remain low forever.
As long as she completes the task, she will eventually become an expert.
Sigh, I really can't count on you.
"It's alright. Although I was worried, you see, Xiao Shen is really good at fighting and his martial arts are extremely high. Those people couldn't even withstand a single move from him."
Ji Xiaosong stared intently at Xiao Shen, who was fighting amidst the flames and flashing swords. He saw that Xiao Shen was agile and wielded his sword like a dragon, each swing carrying a sharp momentum and decisive killing intent.
It was at this moment that she realized that her husband, who was usually so gentle and considerate, was such a brave and fearless hero on the battlefield.
Just then, Xiao Shen roared and repelled another wave of enemy attacks. In Ji Xiaosong's eyes, his figure grew even taller, like an insurmountable mountain.
Xiao Shen fought with increasing ferocity, which inspired his soldiers, boosting their morale and making it increasingly difficult for the guards to withstand him.
Finally, Xiao Shen successfully broke through the main gate and led his team into the grain depot.
They quickly moved the grain and fodder, their movements swift and orderly.
However, just as they were about to finish the transport, the King of Qi's rescue team arrived like a tidal wave.
Xiao Shen immediately ordered his soldiers to form a defensive formation and prepare to meet the enemy.
Ji Xiaosong watched anxiously from the shadows, yet dared not make a move.
The King of Qi's soldiers shouted loudly and were very aggressive.
Xiao Shen showed no fear and shouted, "Brothers, if we can capture this batch of grain today, it will be a great achievement! For the country, for the people, let's fight!"
The soldiers responded in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
The two sides clashed in close combat, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Xiao Shen led the charge, charging left and right through the enemy ranks, his sword flashing incessantly, and wherever he went, Qi King's soldiers fell one after another.
However, King Qi's rescue team was large in number, and Xiao Shen's side gradually fell into trouble.
At this critical moment, Xiao Shen suddenly had a plan.
He ordered a portion of his soldiers to feign retreat, leading the King of Qi's troops into a narrow passage.
After the Qi King's soldiers entered the passage, Xiao Shen led the remaining soldiers to flank them from both sides, and shouts of battle erupted everywhere.
The King of Qi's soldiers were thrown into chaos and could not support each other.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Shen led his team to speed up the transport of grain and fodder, and finally managed to evacuate the grain depot before the Qi King's soldiers could regroup.
Ji Xiaosong finally breathed a sigh of relief after Xiao Shen led his team to a successful retreat.
Under the cover of night, she and Rongrong carefully avoided routes where enemy troops might be present and flew towards Xiao Shen's camp.
All the way, Ji Xiaosong's heart was still pounding because of the fierce battle that had just taken place.
【Ah-Song, be careful, don't make any noise.】
Ji Xiaosong nodded and slowed her pace.
After a nerve-wracking sneaking, they finally arrived near Xiao Shen's camp.
Ji Xiaosong first observed the surroundings to make sure there was no one else, then gently lifted the tent flap and quickly slipped inside with Rongrong.
Xiao Shen arranged for people to guard her day and night, but she still found a way to untie a corner of the tent, crawl out and crawl back in.
After entering the tent, Ji Xiaosong changed her clothes and lay on the couch, her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
