Chapter 208: 9 Chain Arrays. The Hu Tribe Attacks
Only after Ye Xingxin and the other four entered the formation did they realize that Lord Sun had set up a nine-link formation, one formation within another. The superficial knowledge of formations that Xu Changyu and Wen Wenqin had learned from Zhang Liang was not enough for this.
Ye Shengxin pinched the small note given to her by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, hesitated for half a second, and then thought, forget it, she should rely on herself to crack it first, and if it doesn't work, she can rely on the imperial teacher.
Having made a decision, Ye Shengxin pulled Xu Changyu and others over, sat down on the spot and explained to them how to crack the real Nine Rings.
After spending half an hour to let everyone understand the rules, the four of them were full of brilliance and eager to try: "Master Ye is very talented. We believe that we can solve the chain formation by following the steps of the real Nine-Ring Chain."
Ye Xingxin looked at Xu Changyu and said, "That's all I know. How about the specific procedure, Changyu, Wenqin, Hanyin? How about you discuss it with me?"
The three newbies looked at each other, and finally gathered together to discuss in a low voice for a quarter of an hour. They decided to let Xu Changyu lead the way, with Ye Shengxin and Qian Liao in the middle, and they would escort behind and slowly move forward in this formation.
Ye Xingxin's nine-ring solution was effective. The moment everyone saw the formation pattern of the first level at the entrance disappear, smiles appeared on their faces one after another.
Although the solution to the Nine Rings puzzle is difficult and convoluted, as long as you keep going, you will definitely be able to get out before dark.
After Ye Shengxin and the other four entered the formation, their figures hid, and no one outside could see anything inside. However, Lord Sun had set up a connecting formation in advance, and the audience outside could judge which formation the people inside had broken through by judging whether the talisman paper hanging outside was burning.
Now, the five people have unlocked one of the formations in less than an hour and a half. In the eyes of people who have a little knowledge of formations, this is nothing. However, the audience knows that only three of the five people have temporarily learned the basics of formations, and the remaining two are just there to make up the numbers. It is quite surprising.
Dong Lihuang was not worried at all, because this formation was a skill passed down from Lord Sun's family.
There are people in this world who can solve the problem, but there are no more than five of them, and certainly not Ye Shengxin and his group. Not to mention expecting them to come out within five hours, which is simply a fantasy.
"Your Highness Xuanyuan, who knows, we may have to start another game later." Dong Lihuang has not given up on the relic.
Xuanyuan Fu pulled the corner of his mouth and said in a long voice: "Is that so? I don't think so."
"Then let's wait and see." Dong Lihuang was full of confidence.
Suddenly, another talisman paper on the stage spontaneously combusted into ashes, and the smile on his face froze at the corner of his mouth.
After it slowly fell for a long while, he said, "There are still seven levels. No, the formations are connected, not just seven levels. I am waiting to see what's next."
He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his chin supported by the back of his finger bones, and there was a flickering light in his eyes.
Next to the restaurant box.
Rong Anle closed the window, turned around and asked worriedly, "Mom, the talisman paper has burned out, and Shengxin hasn't come out yet. Is there anything wrong in there?"
Cheng Yayun stepped on the stinky rag that Cheng Yazhi possessed, and said calmly: "It's okay. The Nine-Link Array is just a trap. It has no killing power. Even if you can't get out, you won't get hurt."
"Dong Lihuang doesn't have the guts to let his subordinates hurt Xiao Xin. There's still an hour left, so please be patient and wait."
It was extremely painful for her body to be crushed and stepped on, but after being tortured for so long, Cheng Yazhi had already accepted her fate. No one would save her, and Cheng Yayun's family would not let her go.
Only when she suffers torture every day will these people feel happy and vent their anger.
"Sister, I'm in pain, please be gentler. Even though I deserve it, I will never hurt you again." She cried and said softly, trying to make herself feel better.
Cheng Yayun was too lazy to pay attention to her, and Rong Anle was even more so.
After being comforted by her mother, she obediently ate a piece of osmanthus cake that her mother pushed to her. At the same time, she stepped hard on Cheng Yazhi's ragged body.
"Ah! It hurts, it really hurts, Anle, please let your aunt go..." Cheng Yayun cried and begged, hatred rising in her heart again.
Rong Anle sneered and increased her strength again. Thinking of something, she kindly asked, "Aunt, you still don't know where Sister Rong Yao has gone, right?"
Cheng Yazhi begged to stop screaming, wanting to say that she couldn't even take care of herself, how could she care about that damn girl, but now that Rong Anle had asked, she had no choice but to say, "She... where did she go?"
"Barracks."
"You let Yao'er become a military prostitute?" Are these people really so cruel?
Rong Anle smiled and said, "I'm not that cruel. It's just that His Majesty has allowed the military camp to recruit female soldiers. I see that Sister Yao is ruthless and has a good chance of becoming a soldier and killing the enemy. So I naturally have to go with the flow and send her to where she should go."
"As for whether Sister Yao's delicate and sickly body can withstand the training in the military camp, it depends on her own fate."
Cheng Yazhi was filled with hatred, but she gave a dry laugh, "That's fine, aunt thanks Anle for finding a good place for Yaoer."
Rong Anle smiled and continued, "By the way, those who helped Auntie exchange the baby, and those who killed me, whether they were masters or servants, are all dead now. Is Auntie happy?"
Cheng Yazhi's face changed. Her prince and princess were dead?
"What? Isn't your aunt happy that the evildoers have received the retribution they deserve? Do you still feel wronged?" Rong Anle asked in a deep voice.
Cheng Yazhi quickly came back to her senses, "No, auntie is happy, it's just that Yao'er has her place to go, auntie I...ah..."
Cheng Yazhi's voice was too loud, so Cheng Yayun slapped him with a palm, knocking him unconscious as he was still thinking about some unrealistic and stupid things.
And coldly left two words: "Noisy."
"boom!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside the window. Rong Anle turned around and opened the window alertly. A pigeon flew in through the window gap.
The gray pigeon cooed. It was the military pigeon that Rong Anle was familiar with, with a small bamboo tube for delivering messages hanging on its legs.
She took it apart and opened it. When she saw what was inside, her face changed and she became angry instantly, her eyes almost turned red.
Cheng Yayun asked worriedly, "Anle, what happened?"
"The Hu tribe sent people across the border. A village near the border city was looted by the Hu people. Most of the villagers died under their knives."
Cheng Yayun frowned and asked sharply, "Is there going to be a war? Do you want to go to the battlefield?"
Rong Anle looked out the window and said, "It's almost winter. There is no food in the Hu tribe's territory. We can only rob the autumn harvest of the people of the Great Zhou. This may just be the beginning. As for me, I will follow the arrangements of His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
Cheng Yayun: "Is the grain and fodder tax collected by the court this year enough to support the war against the Hu tribe? What about the soldiers?"
Rong Anle stroked the note in his hand and said in a calm voice, "The food and grass may be enough, but if the tax revenue is not enough, Your Majesty will make up for it himself. As for the soldiers, I have gathered more than a thousand female soldiers. They are all strong and willing to endure hardships. It is not impossible for them to go to the battlefield now."
It’s just that it’s not as easy to use as the male soldiers yet.
Knowing what her daughter was thinking, Cheng Yayun patted the back of her hand and said, "Take your time. If you are not in a hurry, give those girls more time to grow. If you are in a hurry, with their current training level, they will inevitably be looked down upon on the battlefield."
"I know mother, but I guess His Majesty and the Crown Prince will not use those female soldiers at least before this year."
Everything must be done step by step. After all, women's reform and subversion of ideas cannot be rushed.
Only when she, His Majesty and the Crown Prince make good use of the female soldiers in their hands can they set a good example for many other women.

The news that the Hu people looted the border villages was not only received by Rong Anle, but also by Emperor Jingming in the box two rooms away.
Zhang Xiangyun and Cui Luoshan were standing beside him. After reading the news, Emperor Jingming cast a deep gaze on Cui Luoshan and asked in a deep voice:
"Luoshan, if I ask you to go to the battlefield, would you dare to go?"
Cui Luoshan's eyes were firm: "Even if I die, it is an honor. I will go."
Zhang Xiangyun looked at this, looked at that, and finally raised his hand carefully: "Battlefield, is it fun? Can I go?"
Emperor Jingming's eyes softened: "Yes, you can all go."
"I will prepare everything for you."
