I Heard the Border Pass Army Was Back Too

Mu Daniu said with a livid face, "These bastards, if they dare to go to Yanmen Pass, we dare to go too! We'll fight them to the death tonight!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at the hoe in Mu Daniu's hand, her lips twitching, and said, "Uncle, is this how you fight?"

Mu Daniu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Where did this little brat come from?"

Mu Qing rolled her eyes and said, "What little brat? This is my savior."

"Yeah! How did you manage to escape from that kind of place? I've never heard of anyone escaping from Great Qi."

Mu Qing picked up Zhou Wanwan and said, "She rescued me from Great Qi, although I don't know what method she used."

The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter. "Mu Qing, you really know how to tell jokes."

Mu Qing said, "I'm serious, okay?"

Mu Daniu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Little girl, don't linger in the military camp. This is not a place for you, and it's too dangerous here."

We plan to go to Yanmen Pass; there's another fierce battle to be fought Yanmen Pass tonight.

Zhou Wanwan said, "I'm also going to Yanmen Pass! We're going the same way, why don't we go together?"

Mu Daniu frowned and asked, "Is your family from Yanmen Pass?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Yes, Yanmen Pass."

Mu Daniu said:

"It's been more than 10 days since Yanmen Pass fell, and we still don't know what the situation is like inside."

Outside are 200,000 iron cavalry of the Great Qi; if we go, we'll only be sending ourselves to our deaths.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Mu Daniu and said, "That's right! Two hundred thousand iron cavalry, you know that going there would only be suicide, so why go?"

Mu Daniu remained silent for a while before saying:

There are tens of thousands of people inside Yanmen Pass; we cannot sit idly by.

Not just me, but many, many more people will be going today.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Then let's go together!"

Mu Daniu and his group headed towards Yanmen Pass, and Zhou Wanwan followed them.

Zhou Wanwan sat on a dilapidated oxcart. The old man driving the cart said, "Young lady, you're really brave. We're all going to rescue people. Why are you coming along to join in the fun?"

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to be the commander! I'm really good at being a commander."

The old man had lost all his teeth, but he was all smiles as he said:

"It's hilarious! I've been in the army for decades and I've never heard of a kid becoming a commander."

Don't worry, I'll protect you on the battlefield.

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Yes, sir, you must protect me well!"

The old man laughed heartily and said:

"You call me grandpa, huh! Let me tell you how awesome I used to be. I could take on a dozen people by myself!"

It's a pity I'm old now! But don't worry, I can still take on five at once. See the big sword in my hand?

Zhou Wanwan looked at the large knife in his hand, which was covered in nicks and chips, and said, "Grandpa, your knife is too shabby!"

"Oh my! I've killed so many Qi bandits with this knife! Today I'm going to kill a few more." The old man's eyes were full of pride.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Grandpa, why are you still going to Yanmen Pass? You know there are so many Qi bandits there, and you can't do anything about it."

The old man sighed and looked into the distance, saying:

We all know that Yanmen Pass is the last line of defense.

Once this barrier is breached, the Qi invaders will rush in, and our Great Xia will never have peace again.

Then our descendants will live in misery.

If the Great Qi Kingdom were righteous, that would be one thing, but we've seen it all clearly over the past few decades on the border.

Those Qi bandits commit all sorts of evil deeds and will not treat the people of our Great Xia well.

That's why we want to give it our all.

Everyone fell silent. A few people whispered, "We might not come back this time, but it's worth it for our descendants."

"Yeah, let's go for it. If we kill two, we'll make a profit."

Besides these people, many border soldiers gradually gathered here. At first, there were only a few thousand, but gradually the number grew to tens of thousands.

Mu Qing said in a low voice, "These are all from various military camps, and most of them are lone soldiers."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the soldiers, who were dressed in tattered clothes, and even their armor was worn out.

But their faces were filled with determination.

Zhou Wanwan felt a lump in her throat. The Great Xia Kingdom treated them this way, yet they were still willing to fight for Great Xia.

The Great Xia Kingdom was not a good ruler.

But the people here are good people.

Sitting on the dilapidated oxcart, Zhou Wanwan felt for the first time the urge to protect them.

Previously, she had actually been shirking her responsibilities.

She felt she didn't like being an emperor; the position required far too much sacrifice.

Moreover, they are not free.

After becoming emperor, he couldn't go anywhere he wanted.

Now she can travel anywhere she wants, but at this moment, she wavers.

She's free now, but what about the people?

No one spoke; they all hurried toward Yanmen Pass.

All that could be heard was the creaking of the oxcart. Mu Qing sat down next to Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, if a fight breaks out today, you must stay far away. You're just a child, don't be reckless."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Sister, how many years have you been living like this?"

Mu Qing sighed and said:

"There is never a day of peace on the border. It is the same every year, and there are several battles every year."

However, our border regions are facing a food shortage this year, so the Great Qi Kingdom wants to take advantage of our situation.

Alas! If only our country had a wise ruler, or even just a good general, things wouldn't have come to this."

Suddenly someone called out, "We've arrived at Yanmen Pass."

Someone nearby said, "I heard that General Qin Shan has returned."

"What? General Qin is back? That's the God of War!"

"Follow the troops, and you'll see General Qin."

"I heard the Border Pass Army have returned as well."

"The Border Pass Army are back? Then we're saved! Our border is saved!"

Mu Qing burst into tears. Zhou Wanwan looked at her and asked, "Sister Mu, why are you crying?"

Mu Qing sobbed:

"What would a little girl like you know? Border Pass Army!"

General Shen Xiao is incredibly powerful, and so is Qin Shan, who is invincible and a god-like figure.

"With their arrival, our border will be saved."

All the soldiers cheered.

A group of people ran towards the north of Yanmen Pass. Many of them saw Zhou Wanwan and joked, "Mu Qing, when did you get married?"

Mu Qing spat and said:

"If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll tear your mouths off! When did I get married?"

She's my savior. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to escape the Great Qi army camp this time."

"Really? You went to the Great Qi army camp? What's the Great Qi army camp like?"

Mu Qing gave a wry smile and said:

"Their Great Qi army camp is so impressive, it can't compare to ours."

Moreover, their armor and weapons are hundreds or thousands of times better than ours.
