Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 279 The Little Nun 7

As they were talking, a minor official hurriedly pushed open the door and whispered something in Master Xu's ear.

Master Xu raised an eyebrow sharply, took the post from his hand, and quickly glanced at it.

After a long pause, he placed the invitation on the table and said in a deep voice, "Please have someone come over."

"Master?" The deputy had just glanced at the post and exclaimed in surprise, "This..."

The post actually said that he had brought three hundred soldiers to surrender.

This number isn't large. At the beginning of their uprising, a group of this size would have been taken seriously, but now…

Thrown into an army of hundreds of thousands, it wouldn't even make a ripple.

However, we should look at things from another perspective!

How did this person manage to appear silently outside their trusted stronghold with over three hundred men?

If we don't take the initiative to send them our invitations, they probably won't even notice!

Master Xu wearily rubbed his temples: "You'll know when you see it."

He also wanted to know who could quietly gather such a large force right under their noses.

Where do people come from? Where do food come from? Where do weapons come from?

All his doubts vanished the moment he saw the woman step across the threshold.

"This... young lady?" He was taken aback.

How could a woman do such a thing?

"Greetings, Master Xu." Ling Yi cupped her hands in greeting, unconcerned by his surprise.

"I am sorry to have come here today, but it is out of necessity."

Seeing the woman's composure, Master Xu slowly put away his doubts and nodded: "Please speak."

Ling Yi didn't stand on ceremony and explained the whole story clearly, her face showing helplessness: "I just went to gather some firewood, and everyone in my sect disappeared. It's really..."

Master Xu's recently calmed emotions were once again thrown into turmoil. The woman spoke clearly and explained the hardships she had endured, making everything seem without a doubt. But...

The clerk who brought her here had just handed over a note, which contained the words of the garrison soldier who had gone to investigate.

It is said that although the armor and weapons are crude, their condition is only three points worse than that of the general's personal guards.

The general's bodyguards were all veterans of countless battles, having come through countless battles.

The woman in front of me actually said that she had trained the soldiers to be only three-tenths weaker in just a few months.

And all this was just to find someone from her sect?

He could understand everything on its own, but when put together, it became a completely baffling drama.

"Mr. Xu," an impatient voice came from the doorway, and a burly man pushed the door open and entered: "I don't..."

“General.” Master Xu cleared his throat, interrupting the impetuous general’s words and indicating that there were outsiders present.

Ling Yi could now see the newcomer clearly: broad shoulders, long legs, and a strong, powerful physique. Just standing next to him exuded a menacing aura, clearly indicating that he was a seasoned warrior.

Considering the way Master Xu addressed him just now, this person's identity becomes self-evident.

She gave a slight bow and said, "Greetings, General Xue."

This is why she traveled thousands of miles to come here and see it.

Throughout each world, he is not an unknown figure. If you cannot meet him in person immediately, then look among the most famous people, and you are sure to find his shadow.

The struggle for supremacy in this world has now been reduced to three parties.

The legitimate dynasty, clinging to its small territory, had an emperor who was only five years old, and a powerful minister who was an old man in his sixties.

Tao Yi, the leader of the south, had more than a dozen concubines as his father, and none of his children besides Tao Yi had any other children who were successful.

Then, there's Xue Town to the north.

This man was once a constable in Jizhou Prefecture. Because he didn't want to collect those exorbitant taxes anymore, he simply led his brothers into the mountains to become bandits.

After that, the world fell into chaos and various factions vied for power. This bandit led his hundred or so men, charging left and right, and somehow managed to carve out a bloody path.

When more than a dozen powerful figures were vying for supremacy, none of them paid any attention to this bandit leader.

Now only a three-way standoff remains, and this bandit leader controls the natural barrier of the north. How can one not say that fate is playing tricks on people?

Ling Yi's method of confirming his identity was simple: he was young and unmarried!

Now it seems she was right.

Xue Zhen frowned as he looked at the person in front of him, then glanced at Master Xu: "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll wait."

Master Xu was originally a clerk in the yamen. He took him along when he went up the mountain. Master Xu followed him through thick and thin and has now become the chief of staff in the army.

He came today because he has something to say to him.

Xue Zhen wanted to fight, but the old man kept talking about money, money, money, and grain, until Xue Zhen was sick of hearing it.

If I can arrange all these things, what will you be doing?

I'm about to start a war, so get me the supplies right now!

When Master Xu was confronted with such a forceful visit, he naturally knew the reason.

Fortunately, there are outsiders present, so the general won't expose his weaknesses.

But his arrival was just in time.

“General, this is Ling, a righteous woman from the south.” After thinking for a while, he still didn’t say the words “girl” which were not very formal, and said directly, “She brought more than three hundred people with her, and they are currently outside the city.”

He didn't tell the king or outsiders how dangerous it was. The king is so straightforward and has such a bad temper, yet he can control so many troops and outlive so many of his peers. How is that possible?

Wasn't it all based on his beast-like intuition in military matters?

Since he led a group of bandits down the mountain to fight for supremacy, he has never lost a single battle!

He believed that the king would understand his meaning from those words alone.

As expected, Xue Zhen stopped abruptly in his tracks after hearing this, and turned to look at Ling Yi: "You brought so many people here?"

His eyes were deep-set and sharp; when he spoke in a low voice, he gave off a sense of aggressiveness.

Despite being stared at with piercing gazes, Ling Yi remained unperturbed, simply cupping her hands and saying, "This was a last resort; please forgive me, General."

Then, he repeated his story about searching for relatives.

Xue Zhen paid little attention to what was behind him, his dark eyes gleaming: "Let's go check on your soldiers!"

He was very curious about how this person managed to do all that.

"General!"

Master Xu watched Xue Zhen excitedly pull Ling Yi away, his head throbbing with pain.

You dared to get so close to her when you didn't even know her identity.

What if it's an assassin? A poisoned dagger and you won't even know how you died!

He glared at the guards at the door: "What are you all standing there for? Go after them!"

Why is Your Majesty so unvigilant?

Forget about the assassination attempt on him!

Looking at those unreliable guards, whose fighting skills were even inferior to the king's personal guards, he felt that his hair had turned a little whiter.

"Someone, summon the doctor."

"Horse, horse!"
