Chapter 211: Let Her Go to Town for a Blind Date

The Yuan Family Army also fought back, but their equipment was no match for the Beijiang Army, and they fled one after another.

Yuan Canghai stood in the rear, watching his army fall into chaos, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

A blood-soaked confidant rushed before him.

"General Yuan, we cannot defeat the Beijiang Army; please, you must leave first."

Yuan Canghai's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Xiao Moting, who was hacking through the ranks in the distance, his hatred so intense he nearly ground his teeth to dust.

"Xiao Moting! One day, I will kill you!"

This was the most pathetic defeat of his entire military career!

Betrayed by his followers and stabbed in the back by his colleagues!

"General, let's go quickly."

Several confidants swarmed forward, pulling the frantic Yuan Canghai away and escorting him off the battlefield.

Once Yuan Canghai left, the remaining troops became mere small fry, no longer capable of posing a threat.

The commanders also broke ranks, taking their men to flee for their lives.

Seeing the situation was dire, Yang Tianhu immediately ordered his men to retreat, not committing a single soldier or horse to the fight.

The Beijiang Army charged into the battlefield, slaughtering the Yuan Family Army until not a single suit of armor remained.

"We won!"

Qin Zhan raised his Long Sword excitedly and shouted loudly.

The Beijiang Army soldiers all around began to cheer as well.

Xiao Moting jumped down from his horse; his handsome, stern face was stained with a trace of blood, and his eyes were exceptionally bright.

This battle had been won too quickly, too easily!

In less than an hour, the enemy army had completely collapsed.

Even he found it hard to process.

Xiao Dabao stepped forward to report, "Prince, Yuan Canghai has fled with the remaining troops, and Yang Tianhu has retreated; we have now occupied Shiya City."

The surrounding soldiers, their faces filled with the joy of victory, all gathered around.

Xiao Moting looked up, scanned the crowd, and shouted in a deep voice.

"This victory is all thanks to the help of the Goddess."

"Thank the Goddess!"

In an instant!

A thunderous roar erupted all around.

"Thank you, Shennü Daren!"

This was the heartfelt gratitude of the Beijiang soldiers toward Bai Wei.

The sound pierced the sky, carrying far, far away.

Qin Zhan ran over, speaking with a cheerful grin.

"Prince, the Yuan Family Army retreated in such a hurry that they left behind a mountain of spoils they couldn't take with them; now, it all belongs to us."

"The grain and fodder alone amount to over two hundred thousand catties!"

"Over a thousand warhorses!"

"In addition, there are swords, armor... about two thousand pieces!"

Xiao Moting raised an eyebrow. "What about Yuan Canghai's mount?"

Before the battle, he had instructed his soldiers to keep an eye out for this Sweat-Blood Thousand-Li Horse, intending to give it to the Goddess.

"We all kept our eyes on the horse to offer to Shennü Daren," Xiao Dabao said, running over excitedly. "As soon as we entered the battlefield, everyone was watching it. Lu Jing went up, slaughtered the few men guarding the horse, and led it back to the camp."

Behind him, Xiao Lujing walked over, leading a tall, powerful horse.

"Father, the horse is here."

The crimson Sweat-Blood Thousand-Li Horse had a coat that was bright red, looking just like a burning flame.

On the horse's forehead, between its eyes, was a diamond-shaped white mark.

The horse was sturdy and muscular, looking exceptionally majestic; one could tell at a glance it had been carefully raised. Even though there were many fine horses in the Daliang Kingdom, this one was rare.

Xiao Moting nodded in satisfaction and gave the order.

"Clean up the battlefield immediately and prepare to return to the Beijiang Camp!"

He led the Sweat-Blood Horse to the side, preparing to send it to Bai Wei.

Qingshan Village.

Bai Wei was in the courtyard feeding Dahuang.

She took out a chicken leg and threw it into the distance.

"Woof!"

Dahuang immediately made a fierce leap, catching the chicken leg in mid-air, and wagged his tail incessantly at Bai Wei.

Suddenly!

Her phone rang.

Bai Wei answered the phone, and a familiar voice came through the receiver.

"Xiao Wei, how have you been living in the village lately?"

Bai Wei steadied herself; it was a call from her mother.

Last time, her mother had insisted on dragging her to her grandmother's house to apologize, but she had refused. Her mother probably knew she was unhappy, so she hadn't called much since.

"Mom, what do you need from me?"

Li Hong spoke hesitantly.

"This... your grandmother and the others have been released from prison, and they want to find you to have a meal together and bury the hatchet."

Bai Wei gave a lukewarm "Oh," and said, "Mom, I don't just eat with strangers. If you want to go, you can go yourself."

"You child..." Li Hong sighed, "Grandmother entrusted me to come and plead with you, saying that you are famous now and have even been to Yanjing; you are the most capable daughter of the Bai Family. She said you shouldn't take the past to heart."

Bai Wei was almost laughed to anger.

"Mom, when I had no money or power before, the Bai Family kicked me out of the house, terrified that I would take advantage of them for even a penny."

"Now that I have money, they all come fawning over me."

"Mom, haven't you seen clearly what kind of faces the Bai Family has? After you married Dad, you were beaten, scolded, and bullied by Grandmother for so many years. Haven't you woken up yet? Why must you push me into a pit of fire?"

"This is no longer an era where one follows the chicken if married to a chicken, or the dog if married to a dog. I will say it again: I have no relationship whatsoever with the Bai Family."

Her rapid-fire words left Li Hong both angry and anxious.

"I was just worried about you being a young woman busy in the village, afraid you would be bullied."

"If someone gives you trouble, it would be good to have a family backing you up."

Bai Wei gave a cold laugh.

"When I was being bullied, the Bai Family wouldn't back me up; they would only kick me while I was down."

"Speaking of bullying, the Bai Family are the ones who bully me!"

The people in the village have never bullied her; on the contrary, they have helped her quite a bit. Only her own grandmother and uncle always think about taking advantage of her.

Li Hong complained, "You are alone in the village and not married; you will have no one to rely on in the future."

"I am my own reliance." Bai Wei said firmly, "I don't rely on others, and I certainly don't rely on relatives!"

She now has money, a career, and a group of partners; she has no need to rely on others.

Hearing Bai Wei's tough tone, Li Hong finally sighed.

"You are grown up now and even have a government job, so I can't control you anymore."

"I won't interfere with you cutting ties with the Bai Family anymore."

"But there is one thing you must listen to me about."

Bai Wei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Her mother had finally dropped the idea of making her reconcile with the Bai Family. She raised an eyebrow, "What thing?"

"You are almost twenty-four years old. In the village, girls your age are already married." Li Hong urged, "If you really want me to stop worrying, hurry up and find a boyfriend."

Bai Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Great!

She sees others being pressured to marry online every day; she never expected it to be her turn now.

"Mom, I'm twenty-four, not forty-two. There's no rush for marriage."

"How can I not be in a rush?" Her mother said with a dissatisfied tone, "You're free this weekend, right? Come to town for a blind date."
