BXBX NOVEL Chapter 326 - 326: The War Started Again
Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and felt that the Second Prince’s words made sense.
“Then how about 1… wait for the Liao army to break through the town and then leave the town?” she asked again.
She really wanted to get rid of Xiao Yuan, that hidden threat.
Moreover, she felt that Xiao Yuan might not be killed successfully if someone else were to take action instead of her.
After all, she had heard that the old fart was quite powerful and could be considered a figure who had fought his way up the ranks of the Liao army with real ability.
Her subordinates could still deal with ordinary soldiers.
However, it would be very difficult for them to assassinate a general like Xiao Yuan.
The Second Prince turned his head to look at Qin Xiaoyao again.
When he saw the sincerity in her eyes, he thought for a while and finally nodded.
“Then you’ll have to settle the affairs at the west of the town well in advance. In addition, if the enemy has not broken through the town’s defenses, you are not allowed to sneak out of the town,” he said with a stern expression.
If this woman could succeed in assassinating Xiao Yuan, the battle situation would be reversed instantly.
And it seemed that she was the only one who was confident of success in such a dangerous task.
Ah, well. There was no harm in taking a gamble.
If she really succeeded, the Jin and Liao States would be able to stop fighting.
Moreover, it would end with a victory for the Great Jin State.
“Your Highness, don’t worry!” A smile appeared on Qin Xiaoyao’s face as she immediately answered.
The horse carriage continued traveling on the streets of High Pass Town.
The Second Prince began to explain the current state of High Pass Town to Qin Xiaoyao.
Due to the war, the civilians in High Pass Town had either been arranged to move elsewhere in advance or they had gone to the east of the town.
There were almost no civilians in the south, north, and west of the town. These areas were all under the control of the Jin army.
When Qin Xiaoyao had just arrived at High Pass Town and ambushed the Liao army, she had already known about this.
And now, when she got a larger-scale view of High Pass Town and heard about the series of arrangements made by the Second Prince, she was very impressed inwardly.
After taking a ride around the town for a while, the Second Prince was almost done with the introductions. At the end of the ride, he sent Qin Xiaoyao back to the campsite in the west of the town.
Just as he was about to leave, Qin Xiaoyao asked him to stay back.
The Second Prince’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t resist having some wishful thinking on his part.
Following that, he got off the carriage and followed Qin Xiaoyao into the tent.
In the end, he had indeed thought too much.
Qin Xiaoyao had asked him to stay just to talk about Song Que.
“I have to trouble Your Highness to take care of my husband’s matters.
“My heart can not rest at ease as long as I can’t find my husband.” At this point, Qin Xiaoyao’s face was filled with deep worry.
The Second Prince did not feel good inwardly when he heard her plea.
Nonetheless, he quickly suppressed his emotions and said to Qin Xiaoyao, “Don’t worry. Master Song is blessed by the heavens. He will be fine.”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“The matter of looking for him…” she looked at the Second Prince again.
“I’ve already made the arrangements. However, there are a lot of things to do in the army right now, so the search will definitely be delayed.
“When the war is over and the military orders are clear, I believe there will be news soon,” the Second Prince continued.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded again.
“Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness!” She cupped her fists and bowed to the Second Prince.
The Second Prince gestured with his hand.
“It’s nothing. 1 should be the one to thank you for coming to High Pass Town to help me.”
Qin Xiaoyao smiled in embarrassment.
“When I find my husband, both of us can serve Your Highness,” she bowed to the Second Prince again.
The Second Prince’s eyes flickered.
“Haha! If that’s the case, 1 should put in more effort!” He laughed heartily.
Qin Xiaoyao laughed as well.
After so many twists and turns, the couple still ended up following the Second Prince.
They might as well do it. People strive to climb higher, and they should work toward making their lives better.
Since power was already at her fingertips, why should she refuse it?
The two of them talked for a while longer before Qin Xiaoyao sent the Second Prince off.
After that, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t rest and immediately sent someone to summon Han Chao and the others over.
Based on the results of her discussion with the Second Prince, she began to deploy and arrange the troops accordingly.
“When I leave, you will be in charge of the west town gate.
“At that point, if the Liao army attacks the other town gates, you should provide support at the critical moment,” Qin Xiaoyao said to Han Chao.
Han Chao had followed the Second Prince for many years and was his trusted aide.
After she left, she would feel very reassured if Han Chao was put in charge of the west of the town.
“Yes, General!” Han Chao immediately answered.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
After that, she walked toward the 3000 elite soldiers and the 3 Special Forces Teams that stood in front of her.
Then, she told everyone about the plan she hatched with the Second Prince.
When everyone heard the plan, they were all very excited.
The opportunity to make a name for themselves had come again.
If they could break into the Liao army’s base camp this time and burn their provisions, they would be able to make a great contribution!
Soon, Qin Xiaoyao assigned the tasks to the 3 Special Forces Teams.
After that, she gave some instructions to the 3 Special Forces Team leaders before releasing them to sneak out of the town overnight.
After the Special Forces Team and the 3000 elite soldiers left, Qin Xiaoyao asked Han Chao to arrange for the new recruits to become logistics soldiers.
Qin Xiaoyao only returned to her tent to rest after she had arranged everything.
Although it wasn’t long before daybreak, there was still a tough battle tomorrow, so it was good to rest for one or two hours.
After all, if everything went well, she might really be able to leave the town to kill Xiao Yuan.
As long as they could take Xiao Yuan’s head, the battle would be over.
She, Qin Xiaoyao, would be able to become famous throughout the world.
She really needed a good reputation right now.
Only by becoming powerful enough could she find her husband as soon as possible and protect her family…
Qin Xiaoyao was woken up by the sound of the Liao army’s horn less than four hours after she lay down.
When she got out of bed and inquired, she found out that the Liao army had attacked at daybreak.
And just as the Second Prince had predicted, they were focusing their forces on just one of the towers, namely the South Town Gate Tower.
Of the three town gate towers that faced the outside of High Pass Town, the North Town Gate Tower was the most magnificent and had the strongest defense.
The second was the South Town Gate Tower, and the last was the West Town Gate Tower.
However, the Liao soldiers had already learned that Qin Xiaoyao was at the West Town Gate Tower and they had previously suffered a great loss at the west part of High Pass Town.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the enemy gave up on attacking the West Town Gate Tower and chose to attack the South Town Gate Tower instead.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t find it strange when she received this piece of news.
“How’s the battle situation in the south of the town? Did the Second Prince send any orders?” Qin Xiaoyao quickly asked.
Han Chao cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
“The Second Prince has ordered us to bide our time. Defend the west of the town securely.”
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
“He’s right. The Liao army has just started its attack. How do we know if it’s a trap?
“It won’t be too late for us to go and help them after the enemy has deployed more troops.”
“That was what the Second Prince was thinking,” Han Chao replied.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at Han Chao.
“Alright. Then we’ll act according to the Second Prince’s orders.”
“In addition, you should keep an eye on the logistics. We can’t make any
“In addition, you should keep an eye on the logistics. We can’t make any mistakes,” Qin Xiaoyao instructed.
“Yes, General!” Han Chao answered.
He quickly left the tent.
Qin Xiaoyao ate something, and soon left the tent and went up to the gate tower in the west of the town.
She discovered that although there were some Liao soldiers outside the town, they maintained a fairly far distance from the town gate tower.
Moreover, these Liao soldiers were just facing them from a distance and had no plans to attack the town.
“They are… here to monitor me?” Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help muttering to herself.
Then, she looked at Han Chao next to her.
“Is there such a situation in the north of the town?” As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she pointed at the Liao army..
