Chapter 371: Jade Pendant

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

[Host, please stop using the space projection skill immediately! Please stop using the space projection skill immediately, or you will face a backlash!]

The space began to tremble, and Xiaoxiao could not stand steadily. However, looking at the approaching sabers, she gritted her teeth and refused to stop. Five more seconds or three seconds was fine! One second, just one more second!

The space trembled as if it was shaking. A long crack suddenly appeared under Xiaoxiao’s feet. She could not stand steadily and fell to the ground. The jade pendant hanging on her waist happened to fall into the crack.

[Detected that the host’s mental strength has been overdrawn to the warning line. The space is unstable. The space projection function is forcibly deactivated!!]

As soon as the notification sounded, the restlessness in the space calmed down. The cracks on the ground automatically repaired. In the outside world, the Xiongnu people, who originally felt that the air was obstructing them, instantly regained their mobility. However, they were still so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat. What happened just now? Were they possessed?

They had long heard that there was something fishy about the people of Great Xia coming this time. It was as if the heavens were secretly helping. Could it be that the heavens really could not stand it after their Xiongnu did too many bad things?

At the thought of this, they were already thanking the heavens for being able to calm their emotions and save their lives, let alone continue killing Rong Yan. The time that Xiaoxiao had worked hard to buy was precious. The reinforcements were right in front of her. Seeing the familiar spear break through the air and pierce through the chest of a sneak attacker, Xiaoxiao closed her eyes in her space in relief.

[Baby, teleport me back to the border city.]

Before she fainted, she thought in a daze, Did I drop something just now?

The spear tore through the air and the insensible Xiongnu encouraged himself. “He’s out of weapons. Kill him first!”

Xiao Ran sneered and pulled out another spear from behind her. “I have many weapons. If you don’t want to die, come!”

Female?

Which female general of the Great Xia Imperial Court could lead troops and speak with such confidence?

“Xiao Ran! It’s Xiao Ran!”

They did not have much courage left to begin with, and they trembled even more when they heard Xiao Ran’s name. However, the soldiers of Great Xia were energized. “Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Xiao Ran’s warhorse arrived unimpeded beside Rong Yan, who was already covered in blood. She reached out to him. “It’s been hard on you. Leave the rest to us.”

Rong Yan’s vision was already blurry, but just as he was about to hold Xiao Ran’s horse, he slipped and seemed to have stepped on something. When he instinctively lowered his head to look, his pupils constricted, and all the blood in his body seemed to rush to his brain. His vision darkened, and he fell head over heels, but he did not forget to hold the jade pendant that had fallen to the ground tightly in his palm.

Why was the jade pendant he gave Xiaoxiao here?!

Could Xiaoxiao really…

Rong Yan fell down firmly. Xiao Ran, who was frightened, hurriedly jumped off the warhorse and picked him up. Seeing that his eyes were lifeless and his face was pale and there was blood all over his body, she was instantly furious. “I raised this child painstakingly and can’t even bear to say harsh words. How dare you hurt him to this extent?”

“Boys, follow me to teach these ignorant bastards a lesson. Let them know that the dignity of Great Xia cannot be violated!”

For a moment, the Xiongnu did not know if she was brave this time to avenge the Third Prince or to raise the might of Great Xia. Anyway, he felt that she was quite ruthless. The Southern Barbarians’ defeat back then was not unjust.

For some reason, the Third Prince, who was already weak, suddenly seemed to have been possessed by a god. He kept waving the divine weapon that was stained with the blood of the Xiongnu people with a terrifying expression.

The resistance of the Xiongnu people was like child’s play in front of Rong Yan. No matter how many scimitars there were, they were no match for his sword. In just a moment, the Third Prince of Great Xia seemed to be soaked in blood and looked like an Asura.

It was as if Rong Yan could not see the enemy in front of him at this moment. He stared at the woman’s corpse that no one cared about anymore. His hands did not know fatigue. He only remembered that he had to kill everyone in front of him to see who it was.

When he finally got close, he realized that he did not have the courage to look at her face.

What if…

What if she…

It was only when the Xiongnu rushed out of the city and kicked the corpse away that Rong Yan, whose heart was in his throat, regained his senses. He would leave this person’s corpse intact.

With Xiao Ran’s powerful reinforcements, the Xiongnu soldiers, who had long been beaten up by Great Xia’s soldiers, could not last a day. Before dawn the next day, the second prince escaped through the secret passage with his trusted aides.

Xiao Ran and Rong Yan worked together. Rong Yan was seriously injured and needed treatment, so he stayed behind to clean up the city at the same time. Xiao Ran led her men to chase after the second prince. At night, the Xiongnu Border City completely fell into the control of Great Xia. When the Xiongnu soldiers found out that their second prince had abandoned the city, they threw down their weapons and gave up resisting.

The Xiongnu Border City was broken.

This evening, heavy snow fell on the border city of Xiongnu, which had already changed owners, covering the blood and corpses.

Rong Yan ordered that Xiongnu’s surrendered troops would not be killed, the innocent citizens would not be killed, and those who caused trouble would be killed without mercy.

At night, the Xiongnu Border City had completely fallen into the control of Great Xia’s soldiers.

The next day, Xiao Ran returned to the border city angrily. She drank water and scolded Second Prince Xiongnu for an hour.

“As a prince, doesn’t that kid have any shame?”

“It’s fine if he escapes, but he lets the personal guards pretend to be him and die one after another. He slipped away in women’s clothes! Women’s clothes! Those dance girls’ clothes that show off their thighs! He’s really shameless!”

After scolding him enough and getting tired, Xiao Ran got someone to study ink and started writing the battle report. Glancing at Rong Yan’s expression, she sighed. “The old officials in the court are very dissatisfied with you leading troops to attack Xiongnu this time. Now that Xiongnu has been completely defeated, we can only stop while we’re ahead.”

Rong Yan’s face was still dark. Xiao Ran patted him. “Back then, in the battle with the Southern Barbarians, Great Xia suffered a huge blow. Although your father was muddle-headed in some things, as an Emperor, he has the world and the people in his heart. This time, he has already emptied his food reserves by sending troops. If he starts a war again, even in the territory of Xiongnu, Great Xia probably won’t be able to withstand it.”

Rong Yan nodded. “I also thought of this, so I decided to end the battle quickly.” With Great Xia’s current situation, the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

Xiao Ran also felt that the child she had taught couldn’t act rashly, so she was even more puzzled. “Then why are you frowning?” It made her think that this kid was addicted to fighting and wasn’t willing to stop here.

Rong Yan tightened his grip on the jade pendant. If he had not confirmed the woman’s corpse that the Xiongnu had used, he would not know what he would look like now.

Xiao Ran continued, “Oh, right. Xiaoxiao was worried that you wouldn’t eat properly, so she asked me to bring you some… what’s it called? Instant noodles? There’s also a surprise. She said that she wanted us to celebrate the day we breached Xiongnu Border City. It’s so mysterious.”

“Heh, but this girl is confident in us. She firmly believes that we will win from the beginning to the end.”

Rong Yan changed the topic.. “Is everything okay with her in Border City?”
