allion pancake, "This family used to rely on my older brother, and in the future, it will rely on me, or maybe Zongbo.""Only impossible to rely on you.""You!" Zong Yulian glared angrily.“Am I wrong Yo...Chapter 1216: Don't Scare Him Anymore

A month later, Fang Jinshu looked at the nascent Lühe Village and felt it was time for her to leave.

Over the course of this month, she kept Ah Sheng by her side and trained him quickly. Although the time was short, this young man gave her many unexpected surprises.

And she only learned later that Ah Sheng was actually the next generation village head being cultivated by Village Head Lu.

Although A-sheng is young, he is very methodical in his work. He has a kind and resilient nature, and the villagers all like him very much. In short, he has the ability to lead others. It's fortunate that such a good prospect was discovered by her.

Lu, the village chief, didn't say anything about Fang Jinshi's proposal to the arsenal. He only said he would help Ah Sheng do everything he could for her.

It can be said that without Fang Jinshu's appearance, there would be no rebirth of Lühe Village.

In order to allow everyone in the village to stay safely in the depths of this forest and help her forge weapons, she contributed all the blueprints of Jinshiu Mountain Villa. Not to mention various precious vegetable seeds.

She also left three large vats of salt. These three vats would be enough for these twenty or so people to eat for several years. When the arsenal was stabilized and the border conflicts were settled, she would allow the people of Lv He Village to have a legitimate and legal identity to walk among others again.

During this time, many things were kept secret from Ah Sheng.

From the second half of the month, she assigned Zhao Xingzhou's usual task in the forest to Ah Sheng. But after searching every corner of the forest, they still found no trace of Zhao Xingzhou.

Fang Jinshi also felt strange, there was a guess in her heart, perhaps Zhao Xingzhou really survived, just not here.

She wasn't a person who dwelled on things for too long. Now that they couldn't find Zhao Xingzhou's body here and the matter of the arsenal had been cleared up, Fang Jinyu bade farewell to the people of Lvhe Village with A Sheng in tow, and they continued their journey towards Xixia's capital.

Six months later, at the border where Daxixi had made an agreement with Xixia, Zongyu once again found himself in a difficult battle.

Grain is running low.

Da Xi's grain supply had been running low since the first day of the war. The soldiers on the border were fighting every day on empty stomachs, and they hardly ever got a full meal.

Even so, they did not give the Xixia army, which had far superior conditions on all fronts, any advantage whatsoever.

The Western Xia army boasted before the confrontation, claiming they could capture their city and invade Daxia's territory within a month.

It has been half a year now, and the Xixia people have not even been able to step within reach of the city gates.

Zongyu's deputy general brushed past him once again.

"General, if we cannot break through in three days, our army will have no more fighting power."

"We have how much grain left" Zong Yu frowned deeply.

"According to the usual ration of four-tenths full, they could still eat for a day and a half."

"Casualties of weapons and personnel."

"Most weapons were lost, with only about 300 of the 1,000 soldiers still having complete weapons. Six hundred were injured, mostly lightly, with two hundred killed."

That is to say, now only about five hundred soldiers could stand up and break out with him. And some of them hadn't had a proper meal in two or three days.

Even if unharmed, with weapons in hand, war is incredibly draining on a warrior's physical strength. Sending soldiers into battle on an empty stomach is no different than sending them to their deaths.

"General, what should we do now"

Zongyu wiped the blood from his arm, stopping his subordinate from applying medicine.

“My general, you absolutely must not!” The deputy general saw this and hurried to stop him.

The general is their only hope. This wound runs deep, and if it's not treated properly, it might leave a permanent disability in the general’s arm. That’s assuming things go well.

Worse, it could be crippled.

"I'm fine, my body is different from ordinary people, even the heaviest injuries can heal automatically."

"Leave the medicine for the other soldiers."

"Furthermore, order a final assault tonight. Prepare all the remaining food and let the soldiers eat their fill. With full bellies, they will pick up their weapons and follow me into battle!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the two had finished speaking, suddenly a soldier came from outside.

"Report!"

"Reporting, General, a young man has arrived outside claiming to bring weapons for us."

Zong Yu frowned again, and the deputy general immediately said viciously upon hearing this.

"Sending weapons It's probably a trick by the Western Xia people!"

"We are surrounded by the Xixia army. They have kept us trapped in these mountains for ten days straight. They wouldn't even let a bird fly in so we could hunt for food. Do you think they would be kind enough to give us weapons"

The deputy general felt that the other side was simply insulting them. They were treating them all like fools, weren't they

Really thought you had this in the bag, didn't you

Just as the deputy general was about to order someone to capture and kill the messenger to show the Xixia people, Zongyu raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait, let him in. I want to see him."

The deputy general was full of disbelief.

"General, absolutely not!"

"What if the other side..." Who knows what other schemes the Western Xia people have up their sleeves. What if they're here to assassinate the General

The fact that the general's arm was injured is no secret, the Xia people must know.

His intuition told him that the person wasn't from Xixia. His deputy had also said so. The Xixia army had been surrounding them for so many days, victory was in sight, how could they send someone to provoke him at this time

First, there's absolutely no need for this. Second, the reason for sending weapons would never be something the Western Xia people would come up with.

Weapons were also crucial to Xixia, and many of their weapons were purchased from other countries through various channels. While it might be believable that they would use things like water and grain as a humiliation tactic, weapons are far too important for Xixia to use in this way.

"Bring the person in."

Soon the youth was brought into Zong Yu's simple tent. At this moment, Zong Yu had already bound his wound with cloth and put on his clothes.

At first glance, it didn't look like the arm was seriously injured at all.

The imposing presence remained.

Ah Sheng was also making his first contact with people in the military camp. He put on a facade of composure, but inside he was trembling with nervousness.

These soldiers looked too intimidating, each one with a hateful gaze as they watched him.

He, he was just here to deliver something.

"What audacity! You Xi Xia people are simply too outrageous!"

The deputy general would fly into a rage as soon as he saw someone. Almost every soldier had a quick temper, and few were calm and collected.

At this point, the only ones who could remain calm amidst enemy fire were either the military strategist or their general. Their generals weren't ordinary men.

The lieutenant’s loud bellow froze Ah Sheng in his tracks. He went completely stiff, except for his legs, which simply crumpled and sent him collapsing to the ground.

"Could the Xi Xia Dynasty possibly have sent someone so cowardly to provoke them This deputy general hadn't expected this at all."

Zong Yu rubbed his temples with a frown.

General Li, please stop scaring him.

This child is not a soldier.

When A Sheng heard this, he quickly nodded. Fortunately, the man sitting on top was reasonable, but his appearance was also quite frightening. Was he really Madam Fang's husband

Looking at Lady Fang, she seemed so delicate. How could she possibly marry such a frightening man

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Zong Yu, the husband of Lady Fang"

When Zong Yu heard the three words "Fang's daughter," his eyes almost changed instantly. A-sheng didn't know how he did it, but in the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of him, and he lifted him up with one hand.the children of the second brother are increasingly disregarding us." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"You're their own grandfather, that Zong Yu is young and strong,...
