Xiao Bai: Hit a nerve, didn't I? You little punk, trying to fight me, you wouldn't even know how you died.
Hmph! If I can't beat humans, I can still beat you.
A little guilty, Xiao Hei, unaware that Xiao Bai was congratulating himself, flew forward with all his might.
"Chirp chirp~" Xiao Hei saw his own people and quickly chirped to get Xiao Bai's attention.
Xiao Bai: So stupid. Haven't humans told you? You don't need to make a sound when you see your own people, but you must send a message immediately if you see the Tatars.
Xiao Hei: Humans did seem to say that.
"Chirp chirp~" Xiao Hei saw many people, pulling their families along, running towards them.
Behind them, behind them, there seemed to be many bad guys.
"Squeak squeak squeak." Quickly turned back to send a message to their own people.
Old Jin, leading the soldiers from the garrison, had only run a few miles when an eagle swooped down.
"Squeak squeak squeak." Fortunately, everyone saw Xiao Bai.
Last year, Old Jin had heard everyone talk about Xiao Bai. This little guy was incredibly clever. Seeing it arrive with an eagle, he knew something was definitely up. He called out, "Xiao Bai, what are you doing?"
"Squeak squeak squeak." Xiao Bai habitually extended a short leg.
The young men in the garrison immediately shouted, "Commander, hurry and take it down."
Old Jin didn't waste any time. He nimbly untied the paper scroll from Xiao Bai's leg. When he saw the three large characters on the scroll: Tatars.
His eyes immediately flashed with ferocity, and he pressed, "Where are the Tatars?"
"Squeak squeak squeak." Xiao Bai pointed in the direction of Xian Shui Town and then made a gesture of running away.
"Xiao Bai means the Tatars are chasing people that way."
"Squeak squeak squeak." Xiao Bai nodded enthusiastically.
Upon hearing this, Old Jin led the soldiers from the garrison and charged towards Xian Shui Town.
"Chirp chirp~" Where to go now!
"Squeak squeak squeak." Go back to find the humans.
Xiao Hei soared into the sky, scaring Xiao Bai into clinging tightly to Xiao Hei's leg.
"Oh my god, I'm so scared I'm going to die."
After Xiao Hei, still trembling, threw the terrified Xiao Bai onto the top of a large rock, Xiao Bai wanted to cry. But thinking of the important business he had to tell the humans, he ignored the pain in his plump backside and began to chatter with the humans.
"Squeak squeak squeak."
"Xiao Bai, you're saying there are many Tatars?"
"Squeak squeak squeak." Many, many. Xiao Bai's little chubby paws gestured animatedly.
"So many Tatars?"
Qi He had been watching the entire time. When Sister Fu finished speaking, he also quickly stood up. He said, "Sister Fu, shouldn't we go and help?"
"Mm, who should we leave here to watch? Let's hurry over," Fu Xin Ci said, then grabbed Qi He's arm and leaped off the boulder. After giving instructions to Qi Xi, the two of them ran out of the mountain pass.
Watching their retreating backs, everyone standing at the foot of the mountain pass, including Grandpa Meng and his son, had the thought that they might have just seen wrong.
Fu Xin Ci, however, didn't have time to explain. She just kept pulling Qi He's arm and dashed forward.
Qi He was even more dazed. If Sister Fu hadn't been pulling him, he would have forgotten to even lift his legs.
Seeing Sister Fu, just like last time, pulling him at full speed for five or six li, Qi He's little heart pounded like a drum.
Fu Xin Ci, however, paid no attention to Qi He's actions. Although she stopped to rest, her eyes were always following Xiao Hei as it circled in the air.
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
"Squeak squeak squeak." Our own people are about to encounter the Tatars.
"Xiao Bai, tell our people to stop and wait for a moment."
"Squeak squeak squeak." This white one is going now.
After Xiao Bai finished speaking, he whispered something to Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei immediately spread its wings, and only a small black dot remained in the sky.
Qi He watched Xiao Hei fly away with flapping wings and grumbled enviously, "I wish I had wings, then Sister Fu wouldn't have to work so hard pulling me along."
"It's okay, let's hurry."
Ahead, Xiao Hei had already caught up with Old Jin and his men. This was the entrance to the mountain path.
Beyond it lay a flat plain, and the outline of Xian Shui Town could be seen in the distance.
"Chirp chirp chirp."
"Squeak squeak squeak."
Hearing Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's voices, Old Jin and the garrison soldiers habitually stopped.
"Squeak squeak squeak." Xiao Bai climbed down from Xiao Hei and stood in front of Old Jin, gesturing for a while.
Old Jin was confused. He shook his head and turned to ask the brothers behind him, "Does anyone know what Xiao Bai means?"
All the soldiers: "We don't know either."
Old Jin: "What should we do?"
All the soldiers: "We don't know what to do either!"
It was then that Xiao Bai realized its little humans weren't stupid at all, it was these big men who were too dumb.
It just told them to wait and watch them, and they all looked like fools. He didn't know what was in those big heads of theirs.
Old Jin didn't know that he had been looked down upon by Xiao Bai.
However, when they saw a group of unarmed civilians fleeing desperately.
They could clearly hear the triumphant laughter of the Tatars, and they could no longer suppress the rage in their hearts.
"Brothers, listen to me. Twenty archers will lie in ambush at the entrance to provide cover. The rest will follow me and prepare to face the enemy together."
"Yes."
When Fu Xin Ci arrived, Old Jin had already engaged the Tatars with the garrison soldiers.
With the archers providing cover, even though the Tatars outnumbered the garrison soldiers two to one, they were not at a disadvantage for the time being.
However, if this continued, and the archers ran out of arrows, they would surely suffer losses.
Fu Xin Ci secretly signaled to the ambushing archers, then quietly climbed to the highest point.
After hiding behind a large tree, she looked across and saw a troop of Tatars, a rough estimate of no less than a hundred people.
From a distance, she saw the leading Tatar directing his subordinates to outflank Uncle Jin and his men.
Fu Xin Ci's crossbow was instantly aimed at the shouting yellow-haired Tatar, and three arrows were fired in quick succession, whistling through the air.
The yellow-haired man had been excitedly shouting that he would kill all these soldiers.
Who knew that retribution would come so quickly? Before he could even blink, he was the one being killed.
What happened?
The Tatars were stunned. They had been fighting well just a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, their leader had fallen headfirst, his face buried in the ground.
Chen Xiao Mao: "Damn it, it's been a while since the New Year, why is this bastard remembering to wish us a happy new year now."
"Forget it, you idiot. You think those yellow-haired guys are wishing us a happy new year? Damn it, it's more disgusting than a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year," Yang Da Li said, then as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly spat and said, "Great Immortal, forgive me. Shan Nan spoke carelessly. Don't blame him, don't blame him."
Zheng Xiao Qi, who had just knocked down a Tatar, almost spat blood from anger upon hearing Yang Da Li's nonsense.
