Let's leave him with a lingering trauma in Chapter 169.
Zhai Rongyu hid in the dark tent, holding her breath and listening to the sounds outside.
The soldiers' conversation gradually became clearer.
"After we finish checking this area, we'll switch shifts with them. Otherwise, if we arrive late, we might not even get a leg of lamb!"
"This is the general's camp. Shall we go in for an inspection?"
"You go if you want, I wouldn't dare."
Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow.
[What incredible luck! I picked Hu Lie Yunxiao's camp on my first try.]
She turned her head and glanced into the dark tent.
Thankfully, he wasn't there.
Otherwise, we'll have to make some noise beforehand.
"Hey! What's there to be afraid of!"
The soldiers' voices continued to come from outside the door.
"The general isn't here right now; he's gone to the stables to groom the horses."
"If you ask me, the general cares more about that horse than a woman. Over the years, I haven't seen any woman by his side, but he grooms that horse every day! I'm starting to suspect that the horse is his woman!"
"What nonsense! That horse is male!"
Zhai Rongyu pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, her clear, bright eyes flashing with a playful light in the darkness.
[A male? Well, that makes it even more suspicious.]
"Who doesn't know that the general is obsessed with horses!"
"That Night-Shining White is a priceless steed! If the general finds out you're making fun of his prized horse, I bet you'll be the one roasting meat at the next bonfire party!"
The soldier trembled and said fearfully, "Anyway, I dare not check the general's tent."
"You can go if you want."
Hu Lieyunxiao's sharp gaze was like a cold knife, suddenly slashing into their minds.
For a moment, the soldiers looked at each other in silence.
They turned around in unison, pushing each other and saying, "Let's go, or we won't get any meat."
Zhai Rongyu: ...
Just how afraid are they of Hu Lie Yunxiao?
but……
Zhaoyebai... that's a pretty nice name for a horse.
[You're a huge horse lover, aren't you?]
[Hehe, I'll let Hu Lieyunxiao taste what it's like to have his things stolen.]
For some reason, Zhai Rongyu suddenly thought of Jun Ce's words about "reciprocity," and her eyes rolled slightly as she smiled mischievously.
[I feel really bad about having to snatch Hu Lieyunxiao's beloved horse later.]
Why don't we leave him a return gift?
But what kind of return gift should I give?
Zhai Rongyu rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
【Yes! 】
Let's leave him with a lasting trauma!
Hehe~ I'm still too polite~
Zhai Rongyu extended her index finger and lit the talisman paper. A small flame illuminated the space in front of her.
She walked to the bedside, extinguished the talisman, formed hand seals, and created a formation on the bed.
He then covered his mouth and chuckled before slipping away from the tent.
Military barracks granary.
Zhai Rongyu looked at the two large piles of grain in front of her, one of which was covered with the markings of the Dragon Flame Army.
His smiling face instantly darkened.
She formed a hand seal, and golden talismans flew out, curling and burning in the air. The faint blue light reflected on her beautiful face, and even her slender figure was shrouded in a dazzling glow.
Her naturally red lips parted slightly.
“Dedicate the merits to the path of enlightenment, and clarify both inner and outer truths.”
"Heaven is round and earth is square; all things are hidden within!"
"Hurry up as a law!"
Her beautiful eyes suddenly sharpened, and with a wave of her hand, all the grain in front of her vanished.
The Boundless Divine Turtle in the bag suddenly sensed the weight coming from its back and abruptly lowered its limbs.
The little head almost suffered a concussion.
This woman!
Next time you ask it to use a spirit beast to carry things, could you please let it know first?
Her sweet dream was suddenly shattered.
The Boundless Divine Turtle angrily ate a gold coin from the cloth bag, chewing it with a hint of resentment.
Just as Zhai Rongyu was about to comfort it, she suddenly heard shouts coming from outside the granary.
"The Great Wizard has arrived!"
"Quickly! Go and inform the general!"
The footsteps outside the door suddenly quickened, and the soldiers who had just been feasting around the campfire immediately became alert and lined up to welcome Wu Muyou.
[A great wizard?]
What's their background?
Zhai Rongyu raised her eyebrows slightly.
The book rarely mentions Nan Sang's situation, so she naturally doesn't know much about these people.
However, judging from the commotion, this great wizard seems to be someone of great importance. Since everyone has gone to greet him, Hu Lieyunxiao will definitely go as well.
At that moment, the stables were empty!
A dimple appeared on her lips, a flash of golden light, and she vanished from the spot.
Outside the military camp, Wu Muyou dismounted from the lead carriage.
He held a scepter, was tall, and wore a long black robe. His brown eyes were calm and serene, and his brows exuded an air of composure, as if everything was under his control.
Just standing there, it inexplicably gives people a sense of solemnity and mystery.
"Great Wizard." Hu Lie Yunxiao bowed his head and performed a Nansang salute upon seeing Wu Muyou.
Nan Sang originally revered witchcraft and sorcery.
The Wu family was deeply trusted by His Majesty and held immense power; even His Majesty treated them with respect.
He naturally dared not be disrespectful.
Wu Muyou lifted his eyelids, his brown eyes gleaming with indifferent light.
He gave a soft "hmm," and said, "General, you may dispense with the formalities."
Before he finished speaking, the bell on his scepter suddenly rang.
Wu Muyou's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly looked in the direction of the granary. "General Hulie, where is that?"
How could I sense the aura of magic?
Hu Lieyunxiao looked in the direction the scepter pointed and frowned, saying, "That's the army's granary. Does the Great Wizard think there's anything wrong with it?"
“There are traces of spellcasting there, just now,” Wu Muyou said solemnly.
Hu Lieyunxiao was shocked, a bad premonition rising in his heart. He immediately ordered his men to check the granary.
"Yes!"
The soldiers received the order and hurried to the granary, but soon returned in a panic.
"General! Something terrible has happened! The military rations have disappeared!"
"What did you say?!" Hu Lieyunxiao grabbed the soldier's collar, his face full of disbelief.
Almost instantly, Zhai Rongyu's image flashed into his mind.
"It's her! It must be her!" he said through gritted teeth.
Wu Muyou gazed at the still-vibrating bell, his deep eyes sweeping across the military camp: "Is the woman General Hulie mentioned in the letter?"
"Exactly!"
Hu Lieyunxiao's chiseled face held a hint of anger. "Judging from Long Yan, only this woman is worth being wary of."
"General, rest assured, His Majesty has allocated a batch of provisions and weapons, ordering me to bring them to the military camp. They will come in handy now." Wu Muyou reached out and put the bell back to its original calm.
He cast a divination in the palace and it turned out that Hulie Yunxiao would face a food shortage.
Only then did the emperor prepare some provisions for support.
Wu Muyou closed his eyes, then opened them and looked toward the stables.
"Moreover, this woman is still in the military camp."
Hu Lieyunxiao followed the gaze and a ruthless smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Since she has come to us of her own accord, we have no choice but to stay in Nansang.
Whether dead or alive!
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Form ranks and surround the camp!"
He ordered one of his men, "You! Take a squad of soldiers and follow me and the high priest to the stables to arrest people!"
