Seeing the tight guard of these men, Tang Youyou became interested again. She carefully bypassed the main entrance of the granary. Seeing that these men didn't notice her, she opened a small package in her hand and unfolded it in the direction of the wind.
In a short while, the dust in the package drifted away with the wind, and there was not a single bit left in the package.
The dust drifted towards the guards. After a moment, these men fell to the ground motionless against the wind.
Seeing that these men had lost consciousness, Tang Youyou quickly passed them and entered the granary.
Inside the granary, there were many kinds of grains and forages stacked everywhere. It seemed that these people really knew how to enjoy themselves.
At the same time, there came the sound of footsteps outside. Judging from the sound, there should be quite a few people outside. If those people recognized her inside, it would surely confirm the fact that it was she who had knocked out the guards outside.
Unless...
Tang Youyou spotted two stones not far away. She grabbed the stones on the ground and quickly walked to the haystack. After hiding, she picked up a handful of forage and started rubbing the two stones continuously.
Just then, the people outside pushed open the door and were about to walk in Tang Youyou's direction. At this moment, a spark fell on the forage she had placed in front of her. Seeing it catch fire, Tang Youyou didn't hesitate for a moment and threw this kindling into the haystack.
In an instant, the entire granary burst into flames. The fire burned half of the sky red, and this scene was clearly seen by a spy from the Ming Dynasty who had come to check the situation.
The spy quickly returned to the military camp. Seeing Rong Xun still frowning and looking for countermeasures, the spy was so excited that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Rong Xun said indifferently, "Speak. What news have you got this time?"
Hearing this, the spy shook his head nervously. "Your, Your Majesty, there's a fire over there! A big fire!"
Seeing the spy's flushed face, Rong Xun thought it was a fire in their own camp. He quickly sent people to check. Just then, the spy finally calmed down.
"No! It's the granary of the Xinu people in the Western Regions that's on fire. The fire is so big that it's probably impossible to put it out!"
This left Rong Xun completely stunned. What was going on? Could it be a natural disaster? But even if it was a natural disaster, it couldn't be such a coincidence that their granary was set on fire.
Thinking of this, Rong Xun was a bit surprised. "Are you sure it was their granary that was set on fire?"
The spy quickly nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. I wouldn't dare to tell a single lie! Every word I said is true!"
Hearing this, Rong Xun immediately gave an order. "Now, order five thousand troops to quietly go to the border of the Western Regions and wipe out all the people ambushed there! General Yu will lead the troops. Set off immediately!"
As soon as the order was given, General Yu immediately led five thousand troops out of the border and headed for the battlefield.
Rong Xun returned to his tent. He wanted to take a look at the position on the map again, but he didn't see Tang Youyou in the tent.
Seeing this, he frowned slightly and looked at Su Ningde who was following behind him. "Where has that young gentleman gone?"
Su Ningde looked around but didn't see Tang Youyou. He shook his head nervously. "Your Majesty, I was worried about you just now, so I followed you. At that time, there was no one guarding here, so I don't know where that young gentleman has gone."
Hearing this, Rong Xun snorted angrily. Looking at the old man in front of him, he held back his anger. "If there's a next time, I won't spare you lightly."
Hearing Rong Xun's latter words, Su Ningde quickly nodded in agreement. "I won't dare to leave without permission again. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!"
Seeing Su Ningde kneeling on the ground, Rong Xun just waved his hand, indicating for him to stand up quickly. "Since you know, go out quickly and find that person. If I don't see that person when I come back, you'll go to the Punishment Department to receive your punishment after we return to the palace."
Hearing about the punishment, Su Ningde rushed out to look for the person.
Seeing this person leave in a hurry, Rong Xun finally got a moment of peace. He looked at the position on the map, the location of the fire. It wasn't the place that the spy had initially discovered. It was a small village between the border of the Western Regions and the Ming Dynasty.
He hadn't taken this small mountain village seriously before, but now it seemed that he had made a fatal mistake.
He always thought that the people in the Western Regions would abide by the rules of marching, but he never thought that these people were not at all righteous.
After all, it was Rong Jiangyu who was in charge over there!
Thinking of this, Rong Xun's eyes turned cold and fierce. Looking at the village on the map, his eyes were full of scarlet.
It seemed that this place couldn't be kept!
Immediately, Rong Xun stood up and walked towards the outside of the curtain.
At the same time, General Yu, who was leading a large number of troops, had already arrived at the burning village. Seeing that the soldiers inside were in complete disarray, he immediately raised his long sword in his hand, pointed it at the sky, and shouted firmly.
"Warriors, today I want you to charge into battle with me and kill these Xinu people until not a single one is left! After this battle, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver each so that you can find a wife!"
Hearing the last sentence, the eyes of those warriors immediately filled with light. They kept roaring. For a moment, the momentum of these warriors seemed to reach the clouds, making people can't help but feel afraid.
At General Yu's order, everyone rushed into the village as if they were risking their lives. They killed or captured the Xinu people inside. All those who resisted, regardless of whether they were men, women, or children, were all killed without leaving a single one alive. However, they didn't harm the panicked common people at all.
In an hour, all the Xinu people in this small village were wiped out. General Yu's white horse stopped at the location of the Xinu granary. He found a familiar figure nearby.
This person was standing still, looking at the granary that had turned into ashes with cold eyes.
General Yu dismounted from his horse. When he looked at that person, he tentatively said,
"Little kid?"
Hearing this voice, Tang Youyou turned to look. She saw General Yu, who was covered in blood, looking at her.
"General Yu?" Tang Youyou blurted out.
When General Yu saw Tang Youyou like this, he wasn't particularly surprised. Instead, he frowned and asked with concern, "Little kid, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou looked at the ruins in front of her. The answer was in her silence.
General Yu asked again, "Did you set this fire?"
Tang Youyou nodded.
At this moment, General Yu couldn't stay calm anymore. Looking at this little girl who was now wearing a white dress, although the dress was simple, it was hard to hide her peerless beauty.
"Girl, how did you get in here?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou didn't answer.
