"Vice General Wu, send out the signal lights and notify the general." I think Zhao Wansan will be out soon. " After Xu Xiaomo finished speaking, her Qi dissipated, and she could only lean weakly against Wu Yaner's body.

Fortunately, He Jiangxin ordered someone to bring over a chair so that Xu Xiaomo could rest.

As the lights exploded in the sky, Xu Xiaomo's eyes lit up.

Wu Guangzhen walked over and asked, "Young Master Xu, the signal has been sent out. However, I have something that I would like to ask Young Master Xu. How did you know that with just your words, you would be able to lure Zhao WanSan out? "

In fact, if he could calm down, he would be able to hear Xu Xiaomo's provocation. He would let Zhao Wansan hear him and run out to confront Xu Xiaomo.

Since it was done on purpose, there must be an ambush. Situ De Ze had wanted to capture these pirates for so many years, but he hadn't been able to find out where they were hiding.

For this reason, no matter how Wu Guangzhen thought about it, he didn't think that these pirates would be so stupid.

However, Xu Xiaomo shook his head in disapproval.

She said, "Zhao Wansan is really smart. Naturally, he wouldn't attack us by jumping off the wall. The most effective and conservative way is to keep fighting with us while sneakily ambushing us. "According to my calculations, with how crafty the pirates are, there must be a powerful force behind them that is adding fuel to the fire."

Otherwise, according to the rumors, the pirates had done something to the camp that had long since failed.

Wu Yaner gave a cold snort, glancing at Wu Guangzhen and sneered: "Daddy, you really made a fool out of war. You don't even know how to think about it!"

When Wu Guangzhen heard this, he was immediately displeased. How was this his own daughter? She was clearly trying to rebel!

Xu Xiaomo naturally saw through the two of them, and quickly held them back. With great effort, he began to reconcile between the two of them.

On the other side, Nangong Xiao An chased after him for a few days. In the end, he lost that green-clothed person.

The green-clothed man brought along a group of people. Judging from their fast movements and extremely strong perception, they were most likely not ordinary people.

Even so, after several days of continuous pursuit, they still did not manage to find any clues.

As for the other important bandits, they were also captured alive by the soldiers. Under the cover of a group of soldiers, they were sent to the capital.

The Yan River Canyon had a high prevalence of pirates, and they had already alerted the capital city. Since the bandits had been successfully exterminated, it was only natural that a leader like Qian Mai San would bring them to the capital. It was up to the Emperor to decide what to do with them.

When Nangong Xiao An rushed back, he coincidentally bumped into Zhao Wansan's men, who surrounded the Hubai Battalion. However, Zhao Wansan had disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he had gone to.

Therefore, he decided to have Niu Dazhuang and his men hide themselves. He ordered Niu Dazhuang to charge into Hop Camp during the battle so that Xu Xiaomo could help him lure Zhao Wansan out.

When Nangong Xiao An saw the signal, Niu Dazhuang came back and told him in detail what Xu Xiao Mo had said.

When Nangong Xiao An heard this, he immediately decided to discuss with his subordinate how he should arrange for the soldiers to respond.

However, after he spoke for a while, he realized that Niu Dazhuang was still standing there, seemingly in a difficult position.

"Anything else?" Nangong Xiao An asked.

Niu Dazhuang hesitated before revealing the truth, "When this subordinate saw Young Master Xu today, I realized that Young Master Xu's face was extremely pale, as if he was severely injured. He even needed someone to help him walk."

Upon hearing that Xu Xiaomo was injured to such an extent, Nangong Xiao An's originally calm expression immediately turned cold.

A tyrannical aura shrouded his body. This was an aura that had been refined on the battlefield for a long time. Even standing there would cause the enemy to tremble in fear.

"Alright, I understand." Nangong Chenxi said indifferently.

After Niu Dazhuang left, Nangong Xiao An's eyes suddenly shot out a strong killing intent. He glared at the map, and the small flag in his hand turned into dust under the stimulation of his inner force.

As for Zhao Wansan, it was exactly as Xu Xiaomo said. After hearing the little thief who had escaped and recounting all of Xu Xiaomo's words, he flew into a rage.

"What a lousy little bastard, he actually dares to bully grandpa's head! grandpa will tell him how to conduct himself today!" Zhao Wansan immediately saw the table in front of him being overturned. He strode over and ordered the men to gather the remaining men.

Since this brat had the ability to provoke him, then he must let him know that if he were to say the words, he would not be able to take them back.

After Zhao Wansan gathered his men, he led his men and marched towards the Huban military camp.

However, they had never expected that just as they arrived at the base camp, they were met with a sense of unease.

The soldiers that Nangong Xiao An had ambushed immediately surged out. They attacked from the front and back, and within six hours, the several thousand pirates were all captured.

As for Zhao WanSan, he was easily taken down by Nangong Xiao An riding on his horse. However, Nangong Xiao An did not kill him. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to tie him up and bring him into the army camp.

Nangong Xiao An had won, and all the pirates had been annihilated. All these things made the soldiers who were originally in the camp extremely happy.

With the support of Wu Yan'er, Xu Xiaomo walked down from the high platform.

Nangong Xiao An, on the other hand, led his soldiers and stood at the foot of the long stairs as he watched her walk down.

However, before they could take a few steps, Nangong Xiao An suddenly ran over. His eyes glanced at Wu Yan'er beside him, and then he turned to look at Xu Xiaomo.

Before Xu Xiaomo could react, he bent down and held Xu Xiaomo in his arms. However, considering the injuries on Xu Xiaomo's body, Nangong Xiao An's strength was significantly reduced to prevent her being tempted by his wounds.

Nangong Xiao An's sudden action caused the crowd to have a strange feeling.

Wu Yaner was unconvinced. She wanted to go up and stop Nangong Xiao An, but she still followed him with a cold glare from Nangong Xiao An.

Upon realizing this, Xu Xiaomo's cheeks flushed red. It was the second time in her life that she had come into such close contact with this man.

"Let me go!" Xu Xiaomo looked at the long staircase and felt the peculiar gazes from the surroundings. She anxiously ordered Nangong Xiao An to put her down.

Her voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear her.

Nangong Xiao An acted as though he hadn't heard anything. He said proudly, "You're a man now, so what's wrong with this general hugging you like this?"

As he said that, Xu Xiaomo's face turned red again.

Why was it inappropriate? The problem was too big, what would happen if the soldiers misunderstood? It was one thing to suspect that Nangong Xiao An was a short-sleeved freak, but it would be too unfair if he was implicated.

However, he didn't dare to struggle in front of the crowd. Instead, he would be the one to be misunderstood. Nangong Xiao An didn't want to let go. She could only obediently carry him.

When the crowd of soldiers saw this, they began to suspect that Nangong Xiao An was a man with a broken sleeve, just as Xu Xiaomo had imagined.

The military camp was filled with the stench of blood and sweat, but after the general entered the military camp, everyone had to ensure that there were no such smells in the military camp. Otherwise, they would be dealt with in accordance with military law.

As for the general's tent, no one was allowed inside. He seemed to have a strong obsession with cleanliness and didn't like anyone touching his things.

Furthermore, there had been rumours in the capital that even though General Nangong had achieved outstanding merits in the war and that he was a handsome man, all the girls in the capital had cut their brains out to get into the estate. Even the empress dowager had introduced a few pretty young ladies.

However, it was as if General Nangong did not like women. Not only did he reject them one by one, he even captured all of the women in the capital into the yamen.

He told them that if they were to find a girl in the city for him to date, they would have to stay in the prison for the rest of their lives!

Once those words were said, there was still that granny broker in the city who didn't want it. No lady in the city would dare marry a man like that.

Because of this, there had been a period of time when the capital had been filled with rumors, saying that General Nangong had a fetish for breaking his sleeves.

It wasn't easy for him to get down from the stage. Nangong Xiao An placed Xu Xiaomo on the ground. Only after she stood up did he let go of her hand.

Seeing such intimate actions, the soldiers couldn't help but feel puzzled.

When he looked up, he saw Xu Xiaomo standing in front of him.

"So it was you, a pretty boy, who schemed against me in secret. To think that my grand and glorious name would be ruined by a pretty boy like you, it is truly a miscalculation." Zhao WanSan was upset.

Wu Yan'er walked over and glared at the pirates and cursed: "Who do you think you are to dare call me Little Mo. It's obviously because you're stupid, so you can't blame others. If you can't even see through a simple trap, what reason would you have to blame someone else? "

Wu Yaner snorted coldly and turned away, walking over to Xu Xiaomo's side with a fawning expression.

Xu Xiaomo sighed, "All of you have committed heinous crimes. This is your retribution!"

Was he the one who had committed all sorts of evil?

Zhao Wansan's vicious eyes swept over the two men. He didn't expect that he would be humiliated by these two women in the end.

Since death was inevitable sooner or later, he might as well use this opportunity to pull one over him!

A fierce hatred flashed across Zhao Wansan's eyes as he thought about it. He had hidden them in his sleeves in case he needed them.

He took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to him to shake off the rope that he had previously broken.

He used the poison needle in his hand to shoot straight at Wu Yan'er.

Before Wu Yan'er could see what it was, she was pushed away by Xu Xiaomo.
