At the beginning, Tiexizha's attack went very smoothly, and Daxia was indeed unprepared. After invading several border towns, he encountered unprecedented resistance and counterattack in Ningyuan Town, a small town in Pingxi Prefecture.
He was even injured and fled without his armor, which was really not an ordinary embarrassment.
Now when he thinks about the failed sneak attack, he feels angry.
He was determined to attack again, but the losses he suffered before made him dare not act rashly.
Especially the poisoned arrows of the Daxia people still scare the soldiers who attacked the city.
Moreover, at present, his divine power has disappeared inexplicably, which makes him dare not act rashly again.
In this defeat, he also lost a good brother, Molle. Molle was also the son of a leader of their Jinman tribe. His death this time shocked the leader. In addition to his sadness, he was filled with anger.
It's all on his head.
Originally, he planned to use this victory to let his father clearly see his strength, so he decided to pass the throne of Jinman King to him. Molec and his father were also his strong supporters. As a result, Molec died.
His father was filled with grief and anger and insisted that it was his rashness that caused it. He no longer supported him and instead supported his elder brother.
For him, this is like a leak in the house and it rains all night. If he goes back in such a dejected mood, not only will he not be able to get the throne, but half of the tribe that originally followed him may also disappear. After all, Jin
Barbarians respect warriors the most.
He did not reveal the disappearance of his divine power to anyone. But the poisonous arrows of the Daxia people were too overbearing, and all the prairie warriors shot by them lost their lives at once. He decided to think about it no matter what.
There is a way to detoxify this poisonous arrow.
Therefore, he specially sent his confidants to sneak into Ningyuan Town, making sure to find out the origin of the poison on the poisonous arrow.
As a vanguard this time, Lan Xi did not lead many men. Kang Yizhi told her, "Don't chase after poor enemies. Although Tiexizha has been defeated now, he is not an easy person after all. I know you are eager to make contributions, but you must also
Pay attention to assessing the situation. Your main mission this time is to see the details of the enemy in Anxi Town and prepare for our major counterattack!"
In Anxi Town, Lan Xi brought a few female soldiers, changed their clothes, and drove a group of sheep in.
As a border town, the residents of Anxi Town actually interacted with the Jinman people quite frequently before. There were also herdsmen among them. When the two countries coexisted peacefully, even civil marriages were exchanged.
It was only this time that the Jin Barbarians suddenly attacked, and Anxi Town suffered a disaster. But even so, when Lan Xi and the others drove their sheep into the town, the Jin Barbarians in the town really didn't take them seriously.
Firstly, they are just a few women. Secondly, people herding sheep are so common here. They never thought that they would be female soldiers of Daxia.
Lanxi has lived in the northwest for a long time, and has long been proficient in the language of the Jin barbarians. She has also been familiar with the living customs of those people who make a living by herding. Therefore, their appearance does not feel inconsistent in itself, and naturally it does not cause any confusion.
Enemy alert.
At this moment, Lan Xi and the others rested at the door of a small inn that had few remaining stores in the town.
The owner of the inn was a gray-haired old man. He was stooped. When he saw Lan Xi and the others walking in, he did not greet them with a smile. Instead, he sighed and said in a reproachful tone: "Girls, what's wrong with you?
You know there's a war going on here, but you don't know how to stay away!" He spoke in Jin Man dialect, but Lan Xi could understand it.
Lan Xi smiled at him and said: "Hey, uncle, if we couldn't live our lives, why wouldn't we hide? You see, this is the time when the cattle and sheep put on their autumn fat, but the men in the family have all gone to the battlefield. We
If we don't go out to graze, my brothers and sisters will all starve to death in winter."
After hearing this, the old man frowned and shook his head and sighed: "Who says it's not the case? Why can't you just herd sheep properly? Suddenly, there is a war. If you get wealth, it is not all the rich and powerful people who share it. The people who suffer are the common people.
Ah! Girl, do you want to stay in a hotel? I advise you to leave quickly. Don't stay here for too long. Those soldiers are not good people."
Lan Xi nodded and said: "Well, it's not because it's getting late and our dry food and water are gone, so we have to go into the city. Otherwise, we will definitely rush back."
"Then let me boil some hot water for you first. What do you want to eat? There is nothing good in the store." The old man said and went to work.
Lan Xi followed him: "Uncle, can you come here alone? Is there no one else at home? Let me help you!"
Hearing Lan Xi ask about his family, the old man's face darkened: "Hey, forget it. My eldest son died on the battlefield, and my younger son was taken away. My wife was also taken away by those damn soldiers. Only the remaining
The next grandson is too young. If it weren’t for him, my old man wouldn’t be alive!”
As he spoke, he pointed to a dark corner of the store, where a sleeping baby lay in an old cradle.
"My daughter-in-law is from Daxia, and those people took her away without any reason! Hey! We obviously had a good life before!" The old man felt very sad when he mentioned what happened at home.
After hearing this, Lan Xi couldn't help but feel pity for him. While helping him, she asked him about the situation of the troops stationed in Anxi Town.
"Recently I heard that we suffered a defeat in the front, and a big shot hid here. Oh, what a sin!" the old man muttered to Lan Xi, and then became a little worried: "This news comes from someone who came to drink water in the barracks a few days ago.
It was revealed accidentally. Girl, you must not go out and talk nonsense. If anyone finds out, my old man will be dead."
Lan Xi nodded: "Uncle, don't worry! Those big shots are like the stars in the sky, we can't reach them anyway! We don't dare to mess with them. We stayed here all night, but we will go back immediately!"
This news really came at the right time. Lan Xi was just thinking about how to find out the whereabouts of Tie Xizha! It seems that he is indeed hiding in Anxi Town.
Doesn't he like sneak attacks at night? Tonight, she will do it for him too!
Lan Xi touched the bag on her waist, and found that the hard stuff was still inside. This should come in handy tonight.
This was a gift given to her by Dr. Sun before she left. She carefully wrote down the purpose of this gift.
Later, when the night gets late, she must give Tiexiza a surprise!
In the old man's rambling words, Lan Xi prepared the simplest dinner together with him. They finished the meal quickly and lay down in the small room of the inn to rest and refresh themselves for the time being.
