Not long after, the soldier left and returned, with Shangguan Wenruo beside him. Before he got close, the soldier pointed at the woman in white and said, "Sir Shangguan, she is the one who calls herself the Saint of the Snow Clan."
"Okay, I understand." Shangguan Wenruo responded, then quickly stepped forward.
After seeing the woman, he was not dumbfounded like a soldier. After looking at her for a moment, he smiled and said: "The prefect is waiting in the tent, please come this way."
"Thank you, sir." Seeing that he was wearing official uniform, the woman nodded slightly, and then entered the military camp with him.
Throughout the military camp, there were halberd infantrymen everywhere, and the sound of training shouts and shouts could be heard not far away.
Dressed in white and holding a jade flute, she undoubtedly became a beautiful sight.
A group of captain-halberd soldiers who passed by him in the military camp all had their eyes widened.
On the way, after observing the camp for a while, the woman couldn't help but asked casually: "I remember that the Qin army was not like this before."
"That's when the prefect took office and rectified military affairs." Shangguan Wenruo returned.
"Oh." The woman nodded and said nothing more.
The Chinese military tent.
In fact, Xiao Yuan was a little surprised. He stood up and walked down from the handsome case. When he saw the woman in white, he naturally remembered his previous encounter with a pack of wolves.
"Is it you?" He couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then asked with a smile: "Are you the saint of the Snow Clan?"
"Exactly, I have met the prefect." The woman in white held the jade flute in her right hand and gave a slight salute.
"Girl, you don't have to be polite." Xiao Yuan waved his hand, then looked him up and down.
At the edge of the snow-capped mountains before, he couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly due to the distance. Now after looking at her, he couldn't help but be amazed by her appearance.
Then, he also fixed his gaze on the jade flute in the woman's hand, and said with a slight smile: "The jade flute in the girl's hand seems to be missing some decorations."
Unexpectedly, he would say this. The woman in white was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "This, I lost it before, and there was no suitable one at the moment, so I ignored it."
"Does the girl think this thing is suitable?" As he spoke, Xiao Yuan also took out the red rope jade pendant.
Seeing her own things, the beautiful woman in white suddenly moved her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but ask: "How come this thing is here with the prefect?"
"Haha." Xiao Yuan smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he picked up the jade pendant and looked at it. He saw that there were small characters on the jade pendant, and it was engraved with 'Lian Ying'. He also nodded slightly and muttered. : "Lianying, what a good name."
With that said, he raised his hand and threw the jade pendant towards the woman: "Here."
The woman raised her hand to catch it, first looked down at the jade pendant, then held it in her hand again and said, "Thank you, Lord Prefect."
"If the property returns to its original owner, there is no need to say thank you."
Xiao Yuan said something, looked at the woman again, and said with a smile: "Miss Lianying, why do you want to see me this time? You might as well tell me frankly."
When she heard him call her Lianying, the woman seemed to think that this title was too intimate, so she couldn't help but move her lips and said, "Sir, my surname is Mu."
"Miss Mu?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows but didn't care, waiting for her to continue.
Mu Lianying said: "Maybe you don't know something, but today Xirong's 20,000-strong army has found the place where our Snow Clan lives."
"What!?" Xiao Yuan frowned when he heard this.
Mu Lianying continued: "They want me, the Snow Clan, to take them through the snow mountains and directly to Xiping Pass."
"It seems that Miss Mu has not agreed." Xiao Yuan said.
"Yes, it is impossible for the Snow Clan to agree to such a request, but how can Xirong be willing to do so? They will definitely try their best to force the Snow Clan to submit." Mu Lianying said.
"What Miss Mu means is..."
Mu Lianying explained: "This time Xirong's 20,000-strong army was defeated and they must be very angry. After that, more troops will come and besiege our Snow Clan. Therefore, the Snow Clan needs the help of the Qin Army. I hope you can protect my people. "
Xiao Yuan understood what she meant.
If she had promised Xirong before, then Xirong's army might have appeared in the pass now, and Mu Lianying's position was clear, and Xiao Yuan could not refuse her either emotionally or rationally.
Thinking of this, he also nodded and said: "Don't worry, the Snow Clan did not choose to cooperate with Xirong and cause this disaster. Naturally, I will not sit idly by and ignore it. But now... I have some other ideas."
Mu Lianying's beautiful eyes showed suspicion.
Xiao Yuan continued: "According to what the girl said, Xirong will definitely mobilize a large army next time, send troops from Beiling, and then attack the Snow Clan. If this is the case, wouldn't the defense of Beiling be insufficient?"
"Sir, you mean to attack Beiling?" Mu Lianying asked slightly in shock.
"That's right." Xiao Yuan said directly.
"But if this happens, wouldn't the Snow Clan be in danger? Your Excellency is using our Snow Clan as bait." Mu Lianying said.
Xiao Yuan glanced at her: "Miss Mu, don't worry. On the one hand, I will mobilize 20,000 Qin troops into the snow mountains to help your clan defend together. On the other hand, I will take advantage of this opportunity to cover my ears with lightning speed. Capture Beiling!”
After listening to his explanation, Mu Lianying thought for a while, and then said calmly: "In this case, your Excellency's plan is the best, but there is one thing. If the Xirong army sees the Qin army outside the Xue Clan City, its commander, They will definitely react and know that the Snow Clan has cooperated with the Qin Army. At that time, I am afraid they will give up attacking the Snow Clan and immediately return to defend Beiling."
"So, in the battle of Beiling, we need to seize time."
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he became a little worried. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that our army's military intelligence is lacking. If we can know the enemy's movements as soon as possible, everything will be easier to handle."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lianying said directly: "Sir, there is no need to worry about this, I can help you."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan was shocked when he heard this. Everything is fine with the Qin army now, but there is a lack of intelligence. This does not mean that the enemy's situation cannot be detected, but that the technology was not developed at that time and the only means of transportation was It's a war horse.
The spies had to run fast, back and forth for an unknown amount of time. By the time the information came back, the best opportunity had been missed.
At this time, Mu Lianying began to say: "When I came, I had sent people to the vicinity of Beiling to secretly monitor every move of the Xirong Army. Once there is any news, it will be reported back as soon as possible."
"Really? But are the people sent by the girl reliable?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, sir. They can track anything in the deep mountains where humans rarely see it, let alone tens of thousands of troops." Mu Lianying said calmly.
"But the information came back..." Xiao Yuan asked again.
"Faster than any spies in the world." Mu Lianying said directly.
