So what happened? Without even thoroughly investigating, they hastily went up the mountain.
They thought the opponents were just a group of ordinary people with broken hoes and rusty shovels, only to find out there were many experts among them, really getting him into trouble.
In the past, for things like going to war, he never needed to show up in person. If it wasn’t for the grain loss and wanting to regain so face, he wouldn’t have personally gone up the mountain and ended up with nothing.
If not now, then when is the best ti to leave? Does he really want to lose his life here?
Seeing the other side fleeing without looking back, Yuan Xiao was exasperated and suddenly threw a punch, injuring Ah Li.
After he flew away, he reluctantly ordered a retreat.
Suddenly, without assistance, he couldn’t sustain any longer and had to cut the losses promptly. Had he known these people were so troubleso, he should have dispatched twice the troops to encircle them.
He had always wanted to conserve his strength, not expecting to be cornered by those with ulterior motives as soon as he left, leading only a thousand n up the mountain, believing that he could organize a team of less than four thousand with the help of other forces, which seed more than enough, yet he suffered a major setback.
Hmph! Once the snow stops, he will certainly bring seven to eight thousand elite troops to level their mountain.
However, he couldn’t suppress his rage, his sinister look scanning around once more, and after a mont, he reluctantly turned away and left.
Watching Captain Yuan and his n retreat with their tails between their legs, everyone held their breath, seeing these uninvited guests off.
Once their figures disappeared over the mountaintop, never to be seen again.
The team mbers collapsed onto the snow like deflated balls, knowing that their belief had almost faltered.
They had no idea how long their explosive stamina would last; their minds were solely on work points and rewards, barely fighting till now.
Their bodies chanically operated, but once the enemy left, all their resolve deflated.
A quarter of an hour later, after recovering so strength, they ca to their senses.
They had won.
They really won, their work points in hand, hahaha!
The team mbers cheered joyously, leaping around, sweeping away their earlier dejection.
They had defeated an enemy several tis their number.
Such a record made them excited and proud!
Most importantly, they earned work points, which they could exchange for fine rice and even so salted at for a treat, such great news.
The excited team mbers jumped around, each boasting to Cheng Xiaoxiao about their takedowns, one claiming three heads, another four.
Overwheld with joy, they couldn’t contain themselves.
Cheng Xiaoxiao understood their elation but knew the matter wasn’t over, so she waved her little hand, "Brothers, clean up the battlefield, I’ll treat you to at when we get back."
Hearing there’d be at, everyone’s spirit soared, cheering even more.
Yay! They were so happy, and Captain Cheng was so generous.
Even the injured felt their wounds throb less in pain.
So they all got busy, so searching bodies, others tending wounds, and the dical team brought stretchers in the anti.
Never had the smiles on their faces been so genuine.
Cheng Sicheng approached with a smile, "Xiaoxiao is so generous, not only did you give work points, but also Contribution Points, and even treated us to a al."
"What, don’t you want to eat?"
Seeing the teasing look on the other’s face, Cheng Sicheng was speechless. Is that what he ant?
He just didn’t agree with being so extravagant.
Even though they had seized a significant amount of grain from the bandits before, they shouldn’t waste it like that, especially on the Han Family people, a bunch of ungrateful wolves, giving them so much just didn’t sit well.
Knowing Cheng Sicheng’s thought, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t mind at all. These n were different from those who sched at ho.
They were a bunch of bold heroes, brave enough to fight and dare to kill, unafraid of bleeding and sacrificing, they deserved respect.
"They deserve it, don’t worry, I don’t care about these resources. How co you’ve grown up, worrying about now."
She gave a sideways glance at Cheng Sicheng, "Why don’t I reassign you a task?"
That glance made Cheng Sicheng a bit embarrassed, but since Xiaoxiao wanted to assign him a new task, he was honored.
Thinking about it, those people wouldn’t likely attack them again soon, especially since the raw materials for bombs were almost depleted.
It’s perfectly alright to do sothing else.
"Okay!"
"Won’t you ask what it is, if you can do it, just agreeing so readily?" She felt this kid went a bit too far.
Cheng Sicheng showed a petting smile, "As long as it’s arranged by Xiaoxiao, I’ll do my best to complete it. Besides, you’re not one for shooting without aim. If you assign it to , it ans I’m the right person for the job."
Xiaoxiao was just like that, placing everyone appropriately, allowing them to shine in their areas of expertise.
"Really, is that so?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao: 77, did you see that? This little rascal smiled so strangely?
She frantically called out to the system in her mind, did she see it wrong, did she see it wrong.
That smile had a hint of fondness. She rembered many TV scenes where the male lead gave the female lead that look, that smile.
Suddenly, goosebumps spread across her body.
Oh my, what’s with that little rascal?
What’s with this ancient ti, he’s still just a child, too precocious!
"You, how old are you?"
Cheng Sicheng, though puzzled why Xiaoxiao would ask this, answered honestly, "Almost thirteen, why?"
Worried Xiaoxiao thought he was too young to handle this, he added, "Though I’m young, Xiaoxiao, you’re not much older but still led the team to today. Don’t worry, whatever you assign , I’ll complete even if it costs my life."
"What life?" Cheng Xiaoxiao said while slapping the back of Cheng Sicheng’s head, "What’s this little rascal always thinking?"
Sigh!
Thirteen, the age when one just started middle school, she thought.
Would soone this young understand love?
Probably not.
So she definitely saw it wrong, the kid surely regarded her as an idol.
Admiring her strength and wisdom, wishing to be like her, who hasn’t been young and spirited, each teenager with a heart that never gives up, bright as the morning sun, passionate as the tide.
Yes, nothing wrong, the youth should have dreams, idolizing her is good.
Having explained it to herself, Cheng Xiaoxiao soon felt relieved.
She chatted with Cheng Sicheng again.
Only the system secretly rolled its eyes, for such a sharp-witted host, this was quite silly.
It wasn’t about to remind her that the little rascal already had an interest in her.
Humph!
Living for two lifetis, still foolish, yet accusing it of silliness, not sure who the fool is...
As they were chatting, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned strange.
The resting team mbers all pulled out their weapons.
