The soldiers at Xianyu Pass murmured amongst themselves, with everyone talking at once.
Some soldiers looked with indignant eyes at the perilous Ji Youze.
"This Young Master Eight, his martial arts are nothing special, but because heâs someone close to His Majesty the Emperor and has a gold medal token, he dares to act so recklessly.
He truly doesnât regard our General in the least."
A soldier expressed his discontent with Ji Youze.
Another soldier chimed in.
"Itâs not just that he doesnât regard our General.
Clearly, he doesnât care about our lives either.
He doesnât even care about the lives of the civilians behind us!"
The soldiers of Xianyu Pass spoke louder and angrier as they went on.
One soldier shouted loudly, "Brothers of Xianyu Pass, no matter how the battle between Young Master Eight and General Xiling ends today, we vow to never retreat!"
"Never retreat!"
"Never retreat!"
"Hold Xianyu Pass to the death!"
"Hold Xianyu Pass to the death..."
The city guard at Xianyu Pass spontaneously began shouting slogans.
The deafening vows echoed throughout the entire Xianyu Pass.
"Uncle! I think I hear someone shouting!"
Held by Ji Youyuan and on their way to Xianyu Pass, Xiaosuisui suddenly spoke to Ji Youyuan.
Ji Youyuan nodded, "Weâve already reached Xianyu Pass. Now that the two armies are fighting, Iâm afraid Xianyu Pass wonât hold for long."
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui immediately said, "Then letâs go faster. If we catch up, we can still join the fight!"
Hearing this, Ji Youyuanâs mouth twitched, and his foot, which was supposed to land on the branch of a big tree, missed its mark.
With a startled cry, the uncle and nephew fell directly below the North City wall.
"Who goes there?"
The city guard, on high alert, heard the commotion and shouted from atop the city wall, looking down at the pair, one big and one small!
Feeling helpless, Ji Youyuan pushed the little girl who had landed on him aside and stood up, inwardly annoyed.
How could he, a person of the Great Grandmaster Realm, be affected by this little girlâs words?
"I do not change my name in life or in death. I am the Great Hanâs Eldest Princess Ji Suisui!"
The little girl had just been helped up by Ji Youyuan when she heard the city guardâs loud questioning voice from the wall above.
The city guard on the wall furrowed their brows upon hearing it!
The Eldest Princess?
No one said the Eldest Princess would come!
He steadied himself, glanced carefully below the city wall, and saw a little milk baby about four or five years old standing with arms crossed and legs spread, looking every bit like a little hooligan without a blade of grass in her mouth!
"Bold!"
Pretending to be the Eldest Princess is a capital offense!
Little baby, donât speak nonsense, lest it brings you a death sentence!"
The city guard scolded Xiaosuisui, then quickly scolded Ji Youyuan.
"And you, is this milk baby your child?
You better discipline her well; can an Eldest Princess be impersonated so easily?
You better take her back and teach her well, and donât let her speak such nonsense again. You met me today, but if it were someone else, youâd be punished for impersonating royals!"
When the city guard said this, Xiaosuisui blinked and looked up at Ji Youyuan, asking.
"Uncle! What does he mean by this?"
Ji Youyuan replied, "Canât you tell? He thinks youâre impersonating the Princess!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisuiâs eyes widened in surprise, "Why? Iâm not pretending!"
