Chu Xiong stroked his beard, "The madame only needs to say what she wants. I am already seventy to twenty and my children are already in the hall. Are you still not willing to give up on this old life?"

"I believe my brother knows about the matters of the Locked Yang Pass too, so I will not say anymore. There is only one group of bandits in the Taurus that specializes in highway robbery, and I finally managed to gather some animals to send to the prison to make rations, but they were all shot to death by me. My poor Geng girl, you know that is the root of our family, and the Old Master and the rest are watching."

"Then, you don't want me to lead the troops and destroy them?" Chu Xiong frowned and said.

Seeing Chu Xiong's nervous expression, the Old Lady Feng could not help but ask, "Is there something difficult about it?"

Chu Xiong said, "We haven't been there for many years, and still remember that it used to be a valley. The Old Master even took us to see it, and said that it was a dangerous place, easy to defend, hard to attack, and with five times the manpower, we might not even be able to get it with sufficient supplies. Let me lead the way and take a look. If that person is easy to talk to, then let her compensate us for our losses. If we were to fight, the outcome is unpredictable. We will definitely suffer heavy losses from both sides. "

Old Lady Feng knew that Chu Xiong did not like to progress recklessly in battle, he was stable and had insufficient manoeuvres, only suitable to defend the city and not attack it. Now that he was out of options, she could only rely on him to take a look.

"Then I'll leave these people to Big Bro. You better watch out for me." The Old Lady Feng said in all seriousness.

Chu Xiong laughed, "Even though it's been a long time since I've fought, my skills haven't dropped. Old lady, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Xie Jin was on duty at the second gate today and seeing that there were not as many people in the courtyard as usual, she seemed to have relaxed her defenses a lot. After inquiring, she found out that a large portion of the Inner Academy's secret guards had been transferred away.

Just as his mind was wandering, Chang Shun ran over to call him. "A Jin, quickly gather at the Northern Academy Field. The old lady is gathering her people, planning to exterminate the Stone Bull Camp."

"What?" Xie Jin was startled, and panickedly asked, "How did this happen?"

"The people from the Stone Bull Camp tried to kill our livestock, of course the old lady wanted to take back our losses, but she hated that Lady Yue. The Old Lady Wang was so good to her, but she actually did such a thing.

"Don't say that about her." Xie Jin's head turned hot, her fist landed on Chang Shun's face, stunning him.

"Why did you hit me?"

Xie Jin finally regained her senses, he did not apologize but turned and ran towards the drill grounds instead. Chang Shun scolded angrily, "You bastard, you want to beat the bandit, why did you hit me? "Damn it, what bad luck! Is there something wrong with A Jin's head?"

Xie Jin ran to the training grounds in the north, where nearly two thousand people were already gathered. An old man whom he did not recognize was standing majestically on the podium, while beside him was the constant thumping of soldiers. Only then did he believe Chang Shun's words, the Old Lady Feng truly hated Yue Ying.

He was happy and worried at the same time.

He was happy that after this battle, Yue Ying and Iron family had already formed a feud, so they could not be together. He was worried that Yue Ying would be sad if he knew that Iron family had wrongly accused her.

Xie Jin shook her head and stopped thinking about it, as long as Yue Ying was not able to marry Tie Yi, then it would be fine. She did not hate her as a thief, and at worst, she would just be the one to recommend herself as the king of the Taurus. As long as she could be with Yue Ying, he would not have to worry about reputation anymore, even if her father and mute lady objected in the future, she would definitely not turn back.

The 12 th of December Honorable Marquis’ Mansion gathered their forces, and the people from the military questioned them. The Old Lady Feng said that she was here to exterminate the bandits, and had already put on paper, the Emperor had already approved it. The Prime Minister Guo did not obstruct him, but he had a deep impression of the Stone Bull Camp.

On the thirteenth day of the second month, Zhou Guizhi went to the Stone Bull Camp to borrow troops, but she did not succeed.

On the fourteenth day of the third month, Yue Ying brought gold and two hundred people to Locked Yang Pass.

On the 15th of December, Chu Xiong brought his men to Taurus to set up camp. He sent scouts to draw the map and study the plan of battle.

On the night of the 15th of December, the Honorable Marquis’ Mansion was attacked. A group of men in black rushed into the Ancestral Hall, killing five Dark Guard members and injuring fifteen people. Zhang Shicheng was severely injured.

On the 16th of December, the Stone Bull Camp was besieged, but it was unknown where the people of the Stone Bull Camp found out the news, they made sufficient preparations, Chu Xiong had not been able to attack for a long time, so he could only send his men to negotiate.

When Chu Xiong asked again, he found out that Tie Yi had been captured and that Yue Ying was bringing people to the Locked Yang Pass to save Tie Yi, he realized that he was mistaken and hurriedly sent a message back to the house of the Marquis to explain the situation to the old lady.

Without waiting for his people to arrive, the person who had been sent a message by the peony asked to come to the house of the Marquis. When he saw Chang Quan, he said that the people of the house of the Marquis outside the city had injured their legs and could not walk around.

Chang Quan thanked the man and gave him some money to send him off. Then, he sent the few kids and two wives of his to fetch the person.

When she returned to the house of the Marquis, it was already the eighteenth of December. When she heard that the Old Lady Feng told Chu Xiong to attack the Stone Bull Camp, she became anxious and hurriedly said, "I've wronged the Lady Yue to death."

The two old women hurriedly saw her and heard what had happened. Only then did they understand that Yue Ying had helped Iron family so much and they had even misunderstood her. The Old Lady Feng felt guilty and refused to see her even though she pretended to be sick.

When Chang Quan saw Chu Xiong, he was distressed, "Chang Quan, you're finally here, this battle is the most confused battle I've ever fought. Even the chief of the village is not here, with so many of us, it's been a few days since we last made it through the gates."

Chang Quan sighed, "It's not that I'm implicating the Old General, this matter is a bit muddled, the old lady has already figured it out, the person who killed the livestock is the Chiron, it has nothing to do with the people of the Stone Bull Camp."

Chu Xiong was shocked. After hearing the whole story, he started to criticize the old lady, "The old lady was confused. She didn't investigate it clearly. It was clearly a trap set up by someone. According to what you said, that female bandit with the surname Yue is truly a loyal person. "
