126: Baima Yicong

"These letters..."

After reading about their origins, Sheng Changge felt a wave of pain in his head, as if some memory was about to be unearthed.

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's eyes flickered; the Host had not managed to recall that lost memory.

He picked up a letter from the table.

Sheng Country Year 498.

It was a letter from three years ago, and also the last letter that woman had sent.

Sheng Changge tore it open.

The content within made him tremble.

"Why did you lie to me?!"

It was easy to see the woman's intense emotional fluctuations in the letter.

Somehow, Sheng Changge felt as if this letter was written to him!

Shaking his head to clear the chaotic thoughts, he told himself this was just the story of a woman being abandoned by a heartless man.

Sheng Changge looked back at the System panel and sorted out the current situation.

There was still one Brilliant Stratagem Bag left, and one System gift package.

"System, points, besides exchanging them for Brilliant Stratagem Bags, how else can they be obtained?"

With the System's introduction to the letters, Sheng Changge realized the importance of this newly added System function.

"Striking and plundering the Luck of other Princes can yield points."

The simple answer left Sheng Changge slightly silent, and he immediately began doing push-ups.

The next day.

This day was an extremely special day.

Out of the seven Princes, six were ordered to go on expeditions; they were to guard the borders and resist the Northern Regions Xiongnu who constantly threatened the Central Plains!

This was a historic scene, one that would surely be recorded in historical annals.

Sheng Changge paid no attention to the loud farewells of the Capital's citizens.

Riding a fast horse, he returned alone to Qiushan City.

The First Prince and the Third Prince also left as low-key as he did.

More than half a day later, a daily mission was still not completed.

When Sheng Changge arrived at Qiushan City in the evening, two people were waiting to welcome him at the City Lord's Mansion.

One was the City Lord Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing, and the other, if Sheng Changge's guess was correct, was none other than the Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture!

"Fifth Prince, you've finally arrived, we've been waiting so anxiously!"

As soon as he saw Sheng Changge, the Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture displayed an extremely urgent demeanor.

"What's wrong, did something happen?"

Seeing this guy's expression, Sheng Changge slightly furrowed his brow.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Glancing at the surrounding citizens, the Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture suppressed his anxiety.

...

City Lord's Mansion.

Qiushan City Lord, Qiu Qing, the Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture, and Sheng Changge took their seats respectively.

"You can tell me now, what happened in Beixue Prefecture?"

Sheng Changge blew on his hot tea.

"It's the Xiongnu!"

The Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture, sitting opposite, got straight to the point, saying with extreme hatred, "Recently, our Beixue Prefecture has been targeted by a Xiongnu force of three thousand.

They swarm into our ordinary Cities in groups, plunder a number of women, kill many A Man, and then leave!"

"Our 12 Counties currently have absolutely no way to deal with these barbarians!"

Listening to the words of the Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture, Sheng Changge was slightly silent: "For something like this, you shouldn't be without a solution, right?"

"I remember, Beixue Prefecture's own military strength is not bad."

"If only that were the case."

The Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture sighed.

"Originally, we had the Northern Snow Iron Cavalry, which could completely deter those Xiongnu, but..."

Speaking up to this point, the Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture's expression turned much uglier: "Your Majesty issued an order yesterday, stating that unless it's a direct confrontation, the Beixue Prefecture is not allowed to deploy the Northern Snow Iron Cavalry for small-scale battles!"

"It must be fully handed over to Prince!"

"Fully handed over to the Prince?"

Hearing this sentence, Sheng Changge frowned, unsure what to say.

From this, he also understood why the Prefectural Lord of Beixue Prefecture was so anxious to find him.

"To temper the Princes and decide the Crown Prince position, they don't even care about the lives of the common people..."

Muttering, Sheng Changge looked at the System panel: "System, you have a solution, right?"

Ye Tian: "The solutions are all in the Brilliant Stratagem Bag."

Alright, Sheng Changge was still hoping to pry out some information.

Just as Sheng Changge was hesitating whether or not to use the last Brilliant Stratagem Bag, another voice appeared from the System.

Warm reminder: The Host's System gift package might contain a surprise.

"There might be a surprise."

Sheng Changge looked at the System page; he had almost forgotten about the bouncing System gift package.

This is something that cannot be ignored!

He reached out and pressed it.

The first System gift package gave him the Black Armor Guard, the second System gift package gave him a peerless fierce general like Man Niu, what would the third System gift package be?

Could it play a crucial role in the Xiongnu problem?

"Ding~ Congratulations Host, you have obtained Army — White Horse Righteous Cavalry."
