Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 372 - 370

Chapter 372: 370

Shangguan Xuanyi fought two opponents with his fists, overcoming them in the duel.

Shangguan Xuanjun touched his sore mouth, glanced at Shangguan Xuanhao, whose face was swollen and bruised, venting his anger: "Second brother, were you a pig in your past life?"

He felt as if he had chosen a pig as his ally! When he raised his fist, his teammate should have attacked their opponent’s lower body!

Instead, his ally raised his fist just like him to attack Shangguan Xuanyi’s front. Shangguan Xuanyi grabbed both of their fists and pulled them toward each other, causing their foreheads to collide. The pain was so intense it nearly made him pass out.

However, he wondered how the Sixth Prince’s inner strength had improved so much that after being grabbed by him, he felt completely immobilized, a situation that only occurs when there is a huge disparity in inner strength between two sides.

"If I’m reincarnated from a pig, then you must be a pig king, the ancestor of idiots!" Shangguan Xuanhao retorted.

Just like Xiao’er had said, a godlike opponent wasn’t as fearsome as having a pig-like teammate and this teammate was really holding him back!

It was well known that he invested all his effort into medical skills and his martial arts were the least refined among his brothers, yet his teammate didn’t know how to coordinate with him.

When he attacked the opponent from the front, his teammate should have hit from behind!

He hadn’t lost this badly in previous fights with Shangguan Xuanyi.

Only Shangguan Xuanhao would have the audacity to think that someone less capable should coordinate with him.

The soldiers were amazed that the general lost a two against one fight and then looked at Shangguan Xuanyi in admiration.

Just how proficient was the Sixth Prince in martial arts to be able to defeat two experts by himself?

Yang Yong’s eyes flickered as he truly didn’t expect the Sixth Prince’s martial arts to be so exquisite and profound! He likely was on par with himself!

All one thousand guardsman of the Sixth Prince, who were all known for their high martial arts prowess, were dispatched this time.

The ambush in the dense forest and the raid in Yueluo Valley both failed because Shangguan Xuanyi’s men unexpectedly discovered them. Was it a coincidence, or had they been exposed?

Yang Yong shook his head, if someone was within three meters of him, even if he was fast asleep, he would feel it, let alone being spied on. So, it was not possible that they had been exposed.

Dalu’s head was hung on the city wall for three days. Everyday people came to throw foul shoes, repugnant objects, and dirty water over it. After the citizens had vented their anger, Dalu’s head was packed properly and sent to the Khan of Xiyue Country.

The Khan of Xiyue Country felt nauseous as he opened the box, then almost tore the entire palace down in anger. He vowed to seize General Li and Shangguan Xuanjun’s heads to send to the King of Minze Country!

The large army of Minze Country had arrived, so war was imminent.

The stolen food needed to be taken back, and the kidnapped children needed to be returned.

Every day, a considerable number of soldiers were training in the training ground.

Shangguan Xuanyi, Shangguan Xuanjun, and a few generals and deputy generals had to strategize the war with Xiyue Country every night.

They discussed troop deployment at night and trained soldiers during the day.

The strategy was unanimously agreed upon by the generals to use an improved version of the Two Dragons Water Formation.

The deployment map of the Two Dragons Water Formation quietly fell into the hands of Xiyue Country’s Khan.

The Khan of Xiyue Country summoned several generals and military strategists to the main hall to discuss their counterstrategy.

The sandstorms in the northwest felt as intense as sharp knives, skinning people alive.

Xiao’er’s skin had always been tender and dewy due to her spatial abilities. However, after being in the desert, her skin started to dry out and crack. At times, washing her face even hurt, forcing her to begin skincare routines in the morning and at night.

After completing her skincare routine and reapplying her makeup, she put on her night gear, lay on her bed, and waited for the time she and Shangguan Xuanyi had agreed on.

When the night was pitch black, and the wind was ripping, Xiao’er, unseen by anyone, arrived at Windmill Ridge.

Shangguan Xuanyi didn’t say a word; he took her hand, pulling her towards him. He wrapped his arm around her waist, and they left using Qinggong.

The pair arrived rapidly at the Xiyue Country military camp. Whenever they encountered patrolling soldiers, they hid in the spatial dimension.

Once the soldiers passed, they exited the spatial dimension and continued forward.

They repeated this process until they reached the Xiyue Country granary.

Another group of soldiers passed by; one of them said he heard the sound of a lock being picked and stopped. "I feel like there’s someone near the granary. I heard the sound of a lock being picked!"

The patrolling soldier heard this and panicked, quickly running over. When he arrived, he saw that the granary was locked and there were no signs of tampering.

The patrolling soldiers all breathed sighs of relief.

"The lock hasn’t been picked, and no one is nearby. You must have heard wrong!"

The soldier scratched his head, questioning if he had indeed heard wrongly.

"I’m sure I didn’t hear wrong!"

"Let’s search the area then."

The granary was too important to them; they were willing to walk extra steps to ensure the safety of the food within. It wasn’t unusual in the times of war for enemies to send people to burn granaries and disturb the military.

Xiao’er opened the granary door and slipped inside.

Shangguan Xuanyi locked the door from the outside and also quickly entered the spatial dimension.

With just a thought, Xiao’er brought all the food in the granary into her spatial dimension.

Shangguan Xuanyi exited the spatial dimension once the soldiers left, opened the granary door to let Xiao’er out, then quickly relocked it.

After going back and forth like this three times, they had emptied all three granaries of Xiyue Country without anyone knowing!

In the last granary, Xiao’er playfully left a few words—"The Great Sage has been here!"

After leaving the granary, they went to rescue the kidnapped children.

The abducted children were generally crying and wailing so they were all kept in the same place, cared for by maids and women.

However, there were also guards guarding them.

After such a long period, the crying children had been too scared to cry, being beaten into silence.

The maids and women looking after them were all breathing shallowly, exhausted.

The guard standing outside the door was dozing off.

Xiao’er quietly blew some knockout gas through a bamboo tube into their direction.

The two guards just caught a whiff of the strange smell and awoke alertly. However, they collapsed too soon to call for help.

Shangguan Xuanyi quickly went up to them, holding them up to prevent them from falling.

Xiao’er entered and moved the unconscious children into her spatial dimension, before both of them quickly left.

Not long after the pair had exited the camp, the patrolling guards noticed that something was off with the door guards.

Upon closer inspection, they found that all the children were missing and the maids couldn’t be woken up!

"The granary!" cried the man who had heard the lock picking sound at the granary earlier.

Many guards ran toward the granary...
