After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Chapter 279 Familiar Little Footprints

"My master has his own things to do, so I don't need to worry about him."

Yuxiu couldn't conjure up a master now, so she just made up an excuse.

So Xu Jinyi had to give up the idea, reminded Yuxiu of some precautions, asked her to live well here, and then hurried back to the military camp.

Yuxiu stood at the door and watched him leave, and then decided to stay here for the time being. As for asking her to stay here and not run around, that was absolutely impossible.

But at this time, Xu Jinyi did not walk far. He had just come out of the front hall and had not yet left the yard when he was suddenly attracted by a line of footprints on the snow.

There were two lines of footprints in the snow. The larger one was undoubtedly his, while the footprints next to it were not only very small but also very shallow. They did not look like his and had sunk deeply into the snow.

The servants in this yard would not come here. These footprints should have been left when he brought Yuxiu in just now. However, when he looked left and right, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

He was also a carefree man. Since he couldn't think of it, he simply didn't think about it anymore. He strode away with several large packages in his hands.

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with in the military camp, and he can't be delayed here.

But this was the first time he met his little niece, so of course he had to take good care of her.

So as he walked, he was thinking about what good things he should prepare for her as a gift.

They had already walked all the way back to the military camp. Several soldiers guarding the gate gathered together, discussing the archer from before with great interest. When they talked about the excitement, it seemed as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Xu Jinyi shook his head with amusement and continued walking forward, but suddenly he stopped.

Familiar footprints, small and shallow...

Could it be her?

Impossible...impossible...

There was no need for anyone to question him, Xu Jinyi himself felt that his own thoughts were very funny and could not help but curl the corners of his lips.

This newly recognized little niece looked weak and frail, with a calm look in her eyes, just like a little girl who knew nothing about the world. Xu Jinyi did not detect any murderous aura in her. How could she be such a powerful archer?

Xu Jinyi convinced himself and personally picked out a few pieces of jewelry that girls would like and had them sent back. He also asked someone to buy some special delicacies from Black Bear Pass and send them back as well.

No matter what, now that his niece is here, he, as her uncle, must take good care of her.

Yuxiu didn't care about these things. When Mrs. Chen handed the things to her, she took them with a smile and said that she had to go out for a while and would come back naturally after finishing her business.

Before leaving, he left a letter for Xu Jinyi, saying that he was going out with his master to do some work and his return date was uncertain, so he didn't need to worry about him.

Since we just killed the opponent's eldest prince, we may be able to have some peace and quiet for a while.

Yuxiu thought about visiting Wulong Town where her two cousins ​​from the Xu family lived.

As for her great uncle Prince Ning, she also used the visiting function of the small system to check on him and found that he was not dead, but he might have been seriously injured. He was lying in a dark room and his condition was not very good. Fortunately, there was an old woman who went in to check on him from time to time.

Unfortunately, the small system can only see the area around the character and cannot find any other clues for the time being. Yuxiu thought about going out for a walk and if there is a chance, she must bring the person back.

The situation in Wulong Town was very serious at this time. The more than 10,000 people led by the Xu brothers had been confronting the Northern Di people for a day and a night.

The reason why Wulong Town is called this name is because next to the town is Wulong Mountain, and on the other side is the bottomless Wulong Cliff.

Just as Xu Jinyi said, the terrain here is very steep, and the town is built on the mountain and cliffs, giving people a sense of security that one man can defeat ten thousand.

When Yuxiu went there, the gates of Wulong Town were closed. Although the city wall was a bit dilapidated, it was built very tall. At this time, there were soldiers from the Northern Di people outside.

There were quite a few Northern Di people here, and they were also prepared to attack the city. Some people carried long ladders and leaned against the city wall, and then others immediately climbed up with big swords in their hands.

Others held onto a thick tree trunk and began to bang on the tightly closed city gate.

However, the Yuan Dynasty soldiers inside were not just there to do the work. Not only did they guard the city gates well, they also had some clever tricks for those who climbed up the city walls with ladders.

Some people held something like a fork in their hands and poked the top of the ladder. Then two people pushed it forward together, and the ladder fell upside down.

The ladder had collapsed, and the people on it all rolled down like dumplings.

However, the snow under the city wall was very deep, so people who fell down would basically not be in any serious trouble. They just needed to pat their butts and rush up again.

There was a big pot not far away on the city wall. People kept adding firewood into it from behind. When the water in the pot boiled, someone scooped up the hot water with a ladle and quickly poured it on the wall outside the city wall.

The temperature here is very low and there is snow. After a few falls, the city wall is already bare. If a fly flies up, it will probably fall flat on its face.

If these are not a problem for those people and some can still climb up the city wall, then it doesn’t matter.

The soldiers either held swords or bows and arrows in their hands, and they just kept hitting the Northern Di people on the heads.

This time, Yuxiu appeared in a tall building in the town. It looked like a restaurant. There were some people gathered outside the windows on the second floor, and they were discussing with great interest how long it would take for the Northern Di people who were attacking the city to withdraw.

"I don't think those bastards can hold out for much longer..."

"Need I say more? This morning I sent five big fat pigs to our soldiers. After they fill their stomachs, they will have more energy to chop those damn bastards!"

"You only have five big fat pigs. If you divide them up, each person can only eat two small pieces of meat at most. But I have sent you a thousand loads of grain..."

"Why didn't you tell me you sent them? No, no, I have to go back now..."

A group of people ran away pushing and shoving, and Yuxiu couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

Judging from the situation, her two cousins ​​should not be in any danger and seem to be quite popular among the people.
