Chapter 41: Go and Save Him

A large portion of the Daye Army's main force went to the granary to put out the fire, falling for the ruse of luring the tiger away from the mountain, leaving only twenty percent of their troops in the camp.

Nalan An rushed out and issued a stern order!

With the Chief Commander presiding, the chaotic Daye Army quickly adjusted their formation.

"Burn the tents!"

Xiao Moting's order was transmitted to the entire army via the walkie-talkie.

Arrows soaked in kerosene, as if they had grown eyes, shot toward the tents.

The military camp turned into a sea of fire, and the Daye Army fell into chaos once again.

Nalan An was both shocked and furious, cursing sternly.

Separated by a distance of several thousand meters, Xiao Moting could not hear his voice, but he knew he must be cursing him for not playing by the rules!

A cold sneer flashed across his thin lips.

Night Vision Goggles, Tungsten Steel Arrows... did the Beijiang Army still need to talk about martial virtue with the enemy?

Xiao Moting gave an order into the walkie-talkie.

"Xiao Liujin, seize the warhorses!"

The military camp was in chaos, but the stables by the river were very quiet.

Warhorses were important supplies; the three hundred guards dared not act rashly and stood in strict formation on alert.

One hundred Assassination Squad members crawled over from the snow.

The Leader of the guards issued a stern order.

"... Defend with all your might, watch out for enemy sneak attacks on the stables!"

"I heard there is a demoness in the Beijiang, everyone stay alert..."

The voice stopped abruptly!

A Triangular Military Dagger pierced out from his mouth, and blood sprayed wildly.

The Leader collapsed, maintaining an expression of astonishment.

Behind him, Xiao Liujin retracted the military dagger.

His cold expression was completely inconsistent with his age!

"Insulting Shennü Daren, die!"

The Assassination Squad members leaped up one after another and launched their assassinations!

A guard rushed over and slashed a blade at Xiao Liujin's back.

However, he froze.

The guard looked at his own blade in shock, then looked at Xiao Liujin, his face filled with terror.

"... How can it not cut? Is there really a demoness in the Beijiang Army?"

Xiao Liujin was wearing a Bulletproof Vest.

He turned around, his figure flickering as he flashed in front of the guard, and with a swift motion, he stabbed him over a dozen times in one breath!

Blood splattered all over him.

Xiao Liujin did not care at all; his small face was covered in blood, his eyes icy cold.

Whoever insults the Goddess must die!

The guards at the stables were all dead.

Xiao Liujin found the lead horse, leaped onto it, and the other members quickly opened the stables!

Instantly, thousands of warhorses galloped out!

In the night, the horses could not distinguish direction and only knew to follow the lead horse!

Xiao Moting received Xiao Liujin's report.

The mission was complete; according to the plan, it was time to retreat.

But Xiao Moting did not leave; he looked up at the commander's tent, his eyes sharp.

The fire was raging, and the Daye Army soldiers were fleeing one after another.

Xiao Moting, however, raised his horse-chopping saber and charged into the depths of the sea of fire.

The commander's tent in the center of the camp had the fiercest fire!

"Ah!"

In Qingshan Village, Bai Wei suddenly woke up from her daze.

Just now, a scene of Xiao Moting trapped in a sea of fire had flashed through her mind.

Her palm felt burned.

Bai Wei opened her palm and discovered it was the Jade Pendant.

What was going on?

Could something have happened to Xiao Moting?

With no time to think, Bai Wei hurriedly pricked her finger and dripped blood onto the Jade Pendant.

She had to go and see what kind of accident had occurred.

In the Chief Commander's tent, the fire was fierce.

Nalan An wanted to rush in, but was held back firmly by several Deputy Generals.

"General, this place is dangerous, please leave immediately."

Nalan An gritted his teeth and refused to leave; his Commander's Seal and other important military secrets were still in the tent, and he hadn't had time to bring them out.

For the Chief Commander to lose the Commander's Seal is equivalent to losing his head!

Suddenly, several Deputy Generals fell to the ground.

He turned his head in surprise and could not help but blurt out!

"Prince of the North, Xiao Moting?!"

Xiao Moting wore a deep red battle robe, held a horse-chopping saber in his hand, and his gaze was cold and sharp!

Nalan An was a Chief Commander who relied on nepotism and had no real skills.

Seeing the corpses all over the ground, he immediately lost his nerve.

"Xiao Moting, spare my life! I will give you ten thousand taels of gold, and the grain and horses in the camp shall all be yours!"

Xiao Moting's expression was cold and ruthless.

"This Prince promised the Goddess that I would take your Commander's Seal, I cannot break my word!"

A flash of the blade!

Nalan An's bloody head fell onto the snowy ground.

The fire was too large, and the tent was about to collapse!

Xiao Moting lunged inside.

Bai Wei opened her eyes and saw Xiao Moting charging into the sea of fire; she was instantly shocked!

Why did he not leave?

Xiao Dabao rushed in and roared sternly.

"Prince, it's dangerous!"

Several soldiers wanted to put out the fire, but there was no water source nearby.

Xiao Dabao wanted to rush into the tent, but was forced back by the fire and could not get close.

The fire in the tent was fierce, and even the air was scorching hot.

Xiao Moting's cheeks were flushed red, his whole body was covered in sweat, and he kicked aside a burning tea table, searching everywhere.

Boom!

A burning wooden cabinet fell down, nearly hitting him, and sparks flew everywhere.

Bai Wei watched, burning with anxiety.

What was he looking for?

Why did he still not leave?

The fire grew larger and larger, and the entire tent was almost swallowed by the flames.

Outside the tent, the anxious shouts of soldiers could be heard.

"The Prince is looking for the Commander's Seal to present to the Goddess."

"Hurry and put out the fire."

Bai Wei came back to her senses and opened her eyes wide in shock.

He was looking for the Commander's Seal for her!

In the fire, Xiao Moting breathed heavily, his gasps scorching hot.

His sweat-drenched black hair clung to his cheeks, and his neck was covered in sweat, which was immediately evaporated by the heat.

Where is it?

Where exactly was the Commander's Seal hidden?

"Boom."

Another crossbeam fell, lying across the middle of the tent.

Bai Wei's heart tightened, and she shouted loudly.

"Xiao Moting, leave quickly."

"I don't want the Commander's Seal anymore, you leave quickly."

However, no matter how much she shouted, Xiao Moting could not hear her, nor could he perceive her.

He only knew one thing.

Whatever he promised Bai Wei, he must accomplish!

Outside the tent, Xiao Dabao's heart-wrenching roar came, "Prince, the entire camp is about to burn down; if you don't leave now, you won't be able to get out."

Bai Wei was panicked and anxious, feeling extreme regret in her heart.

She had said something casually, yet he had silently kept it in his heart and was even risking his life for it.

Seeing Xiao Moting trapped in the sea of fire, Bai Wei was almost moved to tears.

She shouldn't have told him to get that stupid Jade Bi.

Suddenly, Xiao Moting used his Long Sword to split the bed frame, and a square Golden Casket rolled out from a hidden compartment!

His eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed forward.

Found it!

Just as he bent down to pick up the Golden Casket, a huge burning crossbeam smashed down heavily from above...

"Xiao Moting, dodge quickly!"

Bai Wei let out a scream!

Suddenly, everything went black before her eyes, and she was bounced back to the real world.

Bai Wei's chest heaved, and she immediately grabbed the Jade Pendant and dripped her blood onto it.

However, she could not get through!

The Jade Pendant had failed!

"Why is it like this?" Cold sweat seeped from Bai Wei's forehead.

A terrifying thought burrowed into her mind.

She could use the Jade Pendant to "empathically connect" with Xiao Moting across time and space, which was why her consciousness could travel to Daliang.

Now that the Jade Pendant had malfunctioned, could it be that Xiao Moting had already...

"No!"

Bai Wei stood up abruptly.

She dared not think about it!

She felt regret to the extreme in her heart.

Tears welled up and spilled from Bai Wei's eyes.

During this time, she and Xiao Moting had exchanged items across time and space; although they had never met, in her heart, he was already her most important companion.

Xiao Moting's destined death was not here.

If he died in a sea of fire, it would be entirely because she had changed the course of history.

Bai Wei lunged toward the wardrobe and yanked it open.

She had to go to Daliang and save him!
