Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chi Xiyou’s Warning
“Is this news reliable?” Duan Yixin asked Chi Xiyou again.

Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “The news came from a group of merchants. Judging from their clothes and accents, these people should be from the imperial capital city. I believe these merchants have their own ways to learn some secret information.”

After listening to Chi Xiyou’s answer, Duan Yixin fell into deep thought. Seeing her troubled look, Chi Xiyou rubbed her head gently and said, “You don’t have to worry. If the bandits really attack our village again, I will protect you. Although your elder brother looks like this, my martial arts cannot be underestimated.”

Hearing what he said, Duan Yixin suddenly felt that it was really nice to have an elder brother. She looked at him for a long time before softly saying, “Thank you, Elder Brother Xiyou.”

Chi Xiyou’s eyes turned red when he heard her calling him elder brother. No one knew how sad he was when Duan Yixin lost her memories and treated him politely like a stranger. Fortunately, she was finally willing to call him elder brother again.

Not wanting Duan Yixin to see his tears, Chi Xiyou quickly turned around and said, “Mhm.”

After calming down, Chi Xiyou looked at Duan Yixin and said, “I still have to help my father on the farm. Remember my words: don’t go out alone. If you need anything, just come to our house.”

Duan Yixin nodded to him and said with a smile, “Mhm, I know.”

Chi Xiyou stared at her for a few seconds before standing up and saying, “I’m leaving now. Be careful at home, and don’t open the door casually for strangers.”

After Duan Yixin saw him off, she went to the woodshed. If Chi Xiyou’s words were true, then she needed to do an experiment to see if she could put live plants into the warehouse. The results of this experiment will determine her next actions and decisions when the bandits really attack their village.

When she arrived at the warehouse, Duan Yixin touched the shelf of the hydroponic system and put it into the warehouse. The moment the shelves appeared inside the warehouse, her thoughts also entered the warehouse. Seeing that the plant looked intact and alive, Duan Yixin took out the shelf again after five minutes.

The shelf reappeared in the woodshed, and she carefully inspected the Chinese cabbage seedlings. After a few minutes, she smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, I can store plants in the warehouse. In that case, if I really need to leave this place, I can take everything with me.”

When she was done with the simple experiment, Duan Yixin refilled the mixed water in the wooden bucket on top of the shelves before she left the woodshed. Because of Chi Xiyou’s warning, she canceled her plan to go to the forest to collect medicinal herbs. Since there was still some time before lunch, Duan Yixin decided to take advantage of this time to make some more cold ointment.

At the same time, deep in Yun Mountain, Jian Yi was resting under a tall ancient tree after stealing a secret letter from the bandits’ leader’s room.

When he released the secret signal a few hours ago, in addition to Liushiliu, the one hundred secret guards of the First Division also saw it. Recognizing the secret signal unique to their First Division, they rushed towards the direction where the secret signal was found.

When they arrived at Yun Mountain last night, they all activated their lightness skills and rushed into the forest. Eleven hours later, they finally saw their Commander resting under an ancient tree.

Before they could greet him, Jian Yi’s sword moved at lightning speed toward the team leader’s neck. Seeing the black mask and the small Denglong image carved on the right side of the mask, Jian Yi’s sword stopped when it was only two millimeters away from his neck.

A second later, he sheathed his sword and asked, “What is Master’s command?”

The secret guard breathed a sigh of relief when the cold sword left his neck while cold sweat covered his back. Fortunately, his Commander recognized him and stopped at the right time. Otherwise, his head will be rolling on the ground right now.

After calming down, the secret guard clasped his fists and said, “Reporting to the Commander. Master ordered us to come and assist you in dealing with the bandits.”

Jian Yi was silent for a second and then glanced at the black token hanging on the secret guard’s waist. Seeing the number eleven carved on it, he asked. “Shiyi, how many of you are here?”

“Master has sent me and a hundred brothers from our First Division to assist you.” Shiyi replied.

As the deputy captain of the First Division, Shiyi is the leader of the elite regiment of the First Division. With Shiyi and his subordinates coming to assist him, Jian Yi’s plan can finally be implemented.

Looking at their tired faces and dusty clothes, Jian Yi looked at Shiyi and said, “Let’s get some rest first.”

Shiyi and the others nodded and then left with Jian Yi to look for a hiding place. After searching for a while, they found a cave hidden behind vegetation that was large enough to accommodate them all.

After lighting a bonfire and sitting around it, Shiyi looked at Jian Yi and asked, “Commander, can I ask you a question?”

Jian Yi was exhausted after not sleeping for several days. He leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes. When he heard Shiyi’s question, he opened his eyes again.

Jian Yi looked at Shiyi in silence for a few seconds and said, “You say.”

Shiyi stared at Jian Yi’s pale lips and the deep dark circles under his eyes and asked, “Commander, why did you only observe the bandits’ lair but didn’t take any action? According to your usual way of doing things, those mountain bandits should have been dead long ago.”
