Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 238 Siege
Another older teammate looked Pei Nai up and down and retorted, "We don't know the situation outside. What do you believe in what these two people and that old bald donkey say?"

"That's Senior Zhong, the great monk from Zhongchuan. Watch your mouth!" Tu Xun said angrily.

Chai Yaojin directly said to the deputy leader beside him: "Ao Dongli will no longer need to participate in the collection of supplies for the next year!"

The man named Ao Dongli was so angry that he was about to rush up to hit him, but was stopped by the people around him.

"Everyone go and take care of your own business. Whether we can escape this disaster depends on these two days." Chai Yaojin waved his hand.

Everyone turned around and left, but some people continued walking, secretly observing Pei Nai.

Pei Nai even heard someone whispering, "That's the Zhubei Gun?!"

"Isn't the Zhubei Gun extinct?"

"There was a female descendant, Madam Yingwu, who died on the battlefield ten years ago."

"Then who is she? Why is her last name Pei too?"

"Who knows? Maybe their Tianyao clan is a bit chaotic."

"Has Tianyao gone crazy to have a woman as the commander? Are they treating war as a joke? It seems that Tianyao and Dongjing have also embarked on the road to ruin in recent years."

"It's possible that she has an affair with His Majesty Tianyao or Duke Duanding. Otherwise, how could a weak woman ascend to such a high position?"

Pei Nai couldn't say anything, because she was indeed having an affair with Duke Duan Ding.
"Come on, what is Zhubei Gun? This is just a lie they made up." Those people showed contempt in their eyes and then gradually dispersed.

Some people believed what Chai Yaojin and the others said, and bowed to Pei Nai from a distance as a sign of respect for her.

Chai Yaojin, Tu Xun and others have also walked in front of Pei Nai.

Chai Yaojin said in Tianyao language a little embarrassedly: "There are many conflicts within the fortress, and they are getting more and more intense. I am sorry to make General Pei laugh."

"It's okay. It's not easy for General Chai either." Pei Nai waved his hand.

She didn't want to get involved in their internal disputes, nor did she waste time, so she asked, "Can you give us two fast horses? Our companions don't know our whereabouts, and they must be very anxious these two days. We need to meet up with them as soon as possible."

Pei Nai didn't even dare to think about how Gu Jinheng would react when she returned to the Shiqiao area and learned from Han Ruize and the others that she had come into contact with Linshang water and was washed down the mountain by the flood.
Especially she and Ju Liancheng were rescued by Senior Zhong.

When they followed the path of the flood and couldn't find any trace of them, they would probably think that she had been discovered and taken away by the Wu tribe.

From their perspective, what will Pei Nai face?
Gu Jinheng and the others will really go crazy.

So she was very anxious. Gu Jinheng, Han Ruize, and even Da Xian must be suffering from great pain at this moment.

She hopes to meet them soon.

"We have fast horses, but could General Pei please wait for two days before leaving? Our material collection team has just returned from outside, and they did not act cautiously enough. Linluyuan is now facing a very high risk of exposure. If someone goes in or out at this time, they are very likely to be discovered by the Wu tribe's shadow scouts, completely exposing our position." Chai Yaojin requested.

Pei Nai thought about it and nodded in agreement for the safety of the survivors.

Chai Yaojin said again: "General Pei, could you please tell us about your experience in the secret realm? This will help us understand the situation inside the meteorite."

Pei Nai did not refuse.

Everyone found a few chairs, and Pei Nai roughly recounted what happened after they entered the secret realm. Near the end, Chai Yaojin was called away because of an urgent matter.

Tu Xun took her and Ju Liancheng to visit Linluyuan.

Returning to the room where she woke up at night, Pei Nai checked her belongings.

Her bag had been kept by the Silver Armor Guards before, and was in the tent on the opposite cliff corridor when the mountain collapsed, so it was not with her.

Her original armor and clothes were soaked by the flood, so Chai Yaojin and the others asked the old ladies here to help her wash and dry the clothes, so they were now ready to change.

The cloth dress she is wearing now was also put on her by an old lady from Lu State when she was unconscious.

Pei Nai also thanked them today.

When she was ready to rest, Pei Nai took off other people's clothes and put on her original inner clothes. Many things on her body were lost in the rapids, even the daily hair crown on her head was washed away by the flood, so she had her hair down today.

However, although she lost a lot of things, she still had the jade-feather silver hair crown that Zhu Beiqiang and Gu Jinheng gave her.

She had a small bag on her waist, which was originally used to hold the piece of mud tree that Uncle Guo Min had.

Unfortunately, when the waterfall burst out, the piece of tree had already turned into powder.

She was reluctant to put the hair crown given by Gu Jinheng somewhere else, and the hair crown was very light, so she put it in this small bag.

Unexpectedly, when she was stranded in a foreign country, this hair crown became one of the few personal belongings she had.

We are separated again. I wonder what Gu Jinheng is doing at this moment?
The explosives were detonated in the mountains, and he and Daxian were the first to be hit. I hope they were not injured.

Before she closed her eyes, she saw Han Ruize's legs stuck in the crevice of the rocks. The pouring flood was extremely destructive. She hoped that he could break free or be rescued in time, otherwise his leg bones might be injured.

I also hope that they won't be too sad, because she is still alive and their grief is a waste of emotion.

As he was thinking, Pei Nai gradually fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, it started to get noisy outside and many people were running around inside the fortress. As soon as she opened her eyes, someone knocked on her door.

"General Pei, there is an enemy!" Pei Nai recognized the voice as Tu Xun's.

She stood up quickly and opened the door.

Tu Xun was standing outside the door, looking nervous. People coming and going around him also had expressions of fear and anxiety on their faces.

Pei Nai glanced at the sky above the patio. It was late at night and it was not yet dawn.

"The Wu army?" Pei Nai asked calmly.

Tu Xun nodded, "Yes, it is approaching our direction."

Ju Liancheng was also woken up. He came to the door of her room, saying nothing, waiting for her decision.

"Let's go to the command room." There was no time to lose, so Pei Nai took them to the main building.

When they arrived, the place was already crowded with people, and all the tables and chairs had been moved outside or to the sides to avoid occupying space.

There were also a large number of Lu State survivors outside the hall, blocking the door, wanting to know what had happened.

Pei Nai, Tu Xun and the others almost couldn't squeeze in. It was only after Tu Xun shouted a few times that the crowd made way for them.

When he reached the curved outer window, Pei Nai could see the situation outside clearly through the opening.

The sky and the earth were dim, and everything was dark.

In the distance, a large army was marching on the plain at night. Every few meters, someone would hold a torch to illuminate the way. Countless torches were lit, and from a distance, it looked like a fire dragon circling and stars gathering together.

The entire army, riding on fast horses, was advancing at a considerable speed, and was pressing forward.

Thousands of troops are attacking from the front, so powerful that it brings a strong deterrent effect.

Many Lu people who were gathered behind were trembling with fear.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes the tragic destruction of the State of Lu a few years ago. That hellish experience made them feel fear in their bones.

The members of the material collection team who were scolded during the day felt weak in the knees and almost knelt down. "We were wrong. We shouldn't have taken the easy way out and went through the main entrance."

Someone asked Chai Yaojin in a trembling voice: "What should we do?"

In front of the crowd, Ju Liancheng took out a firework stick and asked Pei Nai, "Do you want to set off a firework for help now? Senior Zhong brought one, the kind that the Valley Country prepared for us."
