Chapter 129: One Word Shocks Everyone

  "Report!!!! A figure rushes into the military camp, kneeling on one knee! 'General Feng, an urgent report from the front line: the Tianlong Kingdom's army has launched a crazy attack, our army is suffering heavy casualties and needs support.'"

  His eyebrows furrowed slightly and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he asked, "How long has Wang Qifeng's troops been out?"

  "Reporting back to General Yuan, General Wang has already led his 80,000 troops on their way for half an hour."

  "Master, I have a bad feeling about this. The Tianlong Kingdom's sneak attack plan has fallen through. It shouldn't be possible for them to launch such a crazy assault, in my humble opinion, there must be some trickery involved."

  Bai Mang nodded slightly when he heard Liu Tian's words, after all, Liu Tian had followed his father Nan Meng for many years and naturally knew a lot about military strategy.

  "Xiaoyao, what do you think?" Bai Meng looked at Leng Xiaoyao and asked, seemingly wanting to hear his opinion.

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Bai Meng's words and was taken aback for a moment. He immediately put on a humble expression and said, "Xiao Yao is young and doesn't understand much about the major events in the military, so he dares not to rashly offer his opinion."

  "It's okay, tell me your opinion. I believe that the descendant of Leng Xue Tian will absolutely not be a useless person."

  "Hehe" Bái Míng smiled wryly, this was obviously a test. Lěng Xiāo Yóu thought for a moment and said: "Since Uncle Bai wants to test me, I'll give my humble opinion. Please point out any mistakes."

  "No need to hesitate, just speak your mind." Bai Meng waved his hand and a look of anticipation appeared on his face. However, in his heart, two different thoughts were struggling. One was the hope that Leng Xiao Yao was a talented individual. The other was the hope that he wasn't, because if he was, then he would inevitably have some earth-shattering achievements in the future. His own daughter would follow him and would definitely suffer many hardships as a result. This was an outcome that Bai Meng did not want to see. On the other hand, he also hoped that Leng Xiao Yao wasn't talented, so that he could live a peaceful life with his daughter. However, this hope was extremely slim. After all, Leng Xiao Yao was born into a military family, especially one with the reputation of being descended from the War God, Cold Cry Heaven. No matter how untalented he might be, he would still be far more excellent than ordinary people.

  "Is there a map of the Wind and Rain City nearby?" Leng Xiao didn't express his own thoughts, but instead asked a question.

  "Yes." Bai Mang directly responded, then stood up and came to the left side of the military camp, where there were three large empty spaces. There was only a long table placed there. On the table, a huge map was spread out.

  Bai Mang stood up, and Leng Xiao Yao naturally followed suit. Liu Tian saw that the main characters had all stood up, so as a supporting character, he also stood up. However, this time, he closely followed behind Bai Xue, not daring to leave her side even for an inch. It seemed that the sneak attack last night had left him fearful.

  "This is a map of all the terrain around Fengyu City. Take a look, if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask." Bai Mang said, pointing at the map on the table.

  "En." Leng Xiao Yao nodded slightly, her eyes fixed intently on the patterns on the map.

  Bai Mang saw the calm and composed expression on Leng Xiao Yao's face, and in his heart, he couldn't help but think: "The descendant of Leng Xue Tian is indeed different from others. Just by looking at this expression, I can tell that he will definitely become a great general in the future. As a commander-in-chief, he must be extremely cautious and not underestimate any enemy. He needs to understand the situation of the enemy first, and that's exactly what Leng Xiao Yao is doing now."

  Compare, ten thousand times more than the north

  Leng Xiao Yao gazed at the map, his eyes sweeping over Feng Yu City, then to the northern border of Bei Guo, and finally to the border of Beastman Nation. The three border cities formed a triangular region, but within this triangle, there was a blank space that seemed to have been overlooked by everyone. It was as if it didn't exist at all. This blank space happened to be located on the left side of Feng Yu City. Leng Xiao Yao had a bold conjecture in his mind. If this conjecture were true...

  "Uncle, what's this place?" asked Leng Xiao Yao, pointing to the blank area, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

  "Here?" Bai Meng followed Leng Xiao's pointing hand and looked in the direction he was pointing, seeing the blank space that Leng Xiao was pointing at. With a hint of a smile on his face, he responded: "Xiao, this is a blank area, but it's not just a blank area. This is the road to the Gaiya Mountain Range. I'm sure you know what region the Gaiya Mountain Range is in. So, this place has become a no-man's land. The Southern Dynasty, Northern Kingdom, and Beastman Kingdom have had an agreement with the four major legions of the Gaiya Mountain Range. Our three countries are not allowed to send troops here, and their four major legions are also not allowed to station soldiers here for defense."

  "Ga Mountain Range?" Leng Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, and the suspicion in his heart grew more certain. His gaze fixed on that blank space, and he mentally calculated the layout of war. If he were the Marshal of Tian Long Kingdom, how would he utilize this blank space? Not bad, it should be like that. If it really was like that... then Feng Yu City wouldn't...

  Bai Meng saw the changing look in Leng Xuan's eyes and felt a sense of foreboding. His gaze also fell on that blank area, and a flash of insight passed through his mind. Bai Meng exclaimed: "Xiao Yao, what are you saying?"

  "En." Leng Xiang's face turned serious as he nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the possibility is extremely high."

  Bai Mang's face suddenly turned pale upon hearing Leng Xiang Yao's words, and his voice was filled with trembling intent as he said: "How is that possible?"

  "When interests outweigh everything, anything is possible."

  "Come in." Bai Mang said outside the military camp

  "What are Marshal's orders?" A figure flashed before Baimang.

  "Pass on my orders, the entire army is to break camp and march. Within one hour, arrive at the left side of Fengyu City, order people to ride Wind Wing Beasts back to the capital, request that Your Majesty send troops to support immediately. Quickly, quickly, remember, no matter what cost, deliver this message to Kyoto."

  "Yes, Marshal." This deputy officer had followed Bai Mang for over a decade. It was the first time he saw his marshal speak in such a tone, so he didn't bother with formalities and immediately rushed out of the military camp to relay orders one by one.

  Bai Xue had been following them silently since earlier and hadn't said a word, her beautiful eyes fixed on the map. At this moment, seeing that her father and the others hadn't spoken up, she stretched out her hand to point at a location, saying: "Father, rather than having our troops pressed against the left side of Fengyu City, I think it would be better to place our current troops here. I believe we can respond to any changes that may arise on the left side."

  "Ah!" Bai Meng and Leng Xiao Yao, upon hearing what Bai Xue said, initially didn't pay much attention. But after they finished listening to what she had to say, the two of them suddenly froze, their eyes quickly following the direction of her pointing finger. When they saw where she was pointing, their eyes suddenly lit up, and then both pairs of eyes fell onto Bai Xue's body, with complex emotions revealed in their gazes.

  Liu Tian's face showed a thoughtful expression, and after a moment, he burst out laughing: "Haha, the master of the house is free and easy! Who says that girls are not as good as boys? Today, my sister has spoken the truth. Directly comparing the master of the house with Free and Easy, haha! Let's see who dares to say that girls are not as good as boys from now on."

  Leng Xiao's face revealed a hint of admiration, saying: "Bai Xiaoxue is indeed talented and clever, one sentence broke the heavenly mechanism, Xiao is impressed. Impressed."

  Bai Xue's face flushed with a hint of red as she heard the praise, and she modestly bowed her head saying: "I don't dare to accept such excessive praise, I merely gained insight from listening to Father and Gongzi Leng's conversation."

  He gazed at his daughter with a complex expression in his eyes. In his heart, he was both joyful and sorrowful. He was happy that his daughter had such talent in the military. He was sad because his daughter was a girl, if she were a boy, she would surely become a famous general in the future! Then the White family could continue on.

  "Xue Er, you've grown up! The tone of your words is filled with satisfaction."

  Liu Tian seemed to be displeased with Bai Mang's words, and as soon as they fell, Liu Tian directly scolded: "You're so big. Do you know why Xue Er is so familiar with military affairs? It's all because of you, the master of the house

  "Damn it!" Bai Meng heard Liu Tian's curse and was taken aback for a moment, with a puzzled expression on his face. It seemed that he hadn't offended the old man, so why was he scolding him again?

  Liu Ye Baishe said with a smile on horseback.

  Liu Tian saw Bai Xue pouting, his old face turned sideways. Seriously said: "Girl, your pouting won't work this time. Since you dared to do it, why not let your father understand your heart? Why bother? Today I must teach your father, that ignorant child, who doesn't even know how much he loves his daughter, and yet still puts his mind on national affairs every day."

  Bai Mang listened to Liu Tian's nonsense and became even more confused, so he opened his mouth and said:

  "Liu Lao, what did you say? Bai Mang truly doesn't know, hoping for an explanation or two."

  Wang An is better than Bei

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Liu Tian's words over the past few days and looked at Bai Xue's expression, making a slight calculation in her heart. She could soon infer some reasons, which was that Bai Meng had his mind focused on national affairs, so he paid less attention to his family situation. His daughter, not getting her father's love, wanted to attract her father's attention, so she chose to study military affairs, hoping to make her father notice her.

  As expected, Liu Tian's face turned sideways in accusation: "You this good-for-nothing, day and night only knowing your soldiers, when have you ever cared about the matters of your own daughter? Your daughter, in order to get your paternal love, from the age of four, begged me to help her collect all sorts of military books. Nine years ago, when the Beastmen Nation attacked, I thought I would have to take action, but if it weren't for Miss's repeated pleas, I wouldn't have cared about you being dead or alive. Six years ago, during that time in the Northern Country...

  "Grandpa Liu, you say that again and Snow will ignore you from now on." Bai Xuejiao interrupted what Liu Tian was about to say with a stern tone.

  Bai Mang was increasingly shocked as he listened to Liu Tian's words, and only now did he understand why nine years ago, when the beastman nation's army attacked the border, just as his side was about to be defeated, Liu Tian suddenly appeared at the border with a clever move, single-handedly holding off thousands of troops. He delayed for half an hour, and after the reinforcements arrived, he left. It turned out that he wasn't acting because of his own lord's face, but because his daughter had begged him to, and Bai Mang's heart was suddenly filled with shock and regret.

  "Is this all true?" Bai Meng's eyes turned red, he could feel his daughter's emotions at that time, and his heart was even more remorseful, constantly blaming himself.

  "Nonsense! Do you think I have nothing better to do? Did I run all the way from Linshan City to play around at your Wind and Rain City border?" Liu Tian glared at Bai Mang.

  "Little fool." Bai Meng stretched out his hand and gently stroked Bai Xue's hair, with a paternal smile on his face.

  The father rushed into his own father's arms and let out the pain that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.

  Leng Xiao Yao and Liu Tian exchanged a glance. The two nodded simultaneously and turned around to leave the military camp at the same time.
