Xie Xuanchen took 800 light cavalry with no backup or spare food and went deep into Beirong territory alone. He broke into the camp of 20,000 people and kidnapped Ye Luji from the main tent.
800 people had rushed into the camp of 20,000, which was an act that was simply audacious and unbelievable. What’s even more incredible was the fact that they actually succeeded.
Xie Xuanchen retreated as soon as he succeeded. The others who set fire to the camp and caused chaos did not want to fight any longer and retreated immediately. They broke in like ghosts and retreated in the sway. From the beginning to the end, it only took a blink of an eye. Before many Beirong soldiers could react, their King Dongdan was kidnapped from the camp in full view.
Ye Luji was like a toy. He walked out of here 7 days ago and was picked up again without dignity 7 days later.
Mu Mingtang’s heart had been on tenterhooks ever since Xie Xuanchen left. She had trouble sleeping and woke up at the slightest disturbance. Mu Mingtang also learned that Xie Xuanchen only brought dried rations that was enough for 3 days. As the 3rd day passed by, her heart gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
The rest of the Xu family was not in a calm mood either, but 5th Madam Xu kept whispering in Mu Mingtang’s ear, “Although they only brought 3 days of dried rations with them, it is durable. If you save a little of it, they can last for 4 or 5 days, so don’t worry too much.”

And what could Mu Mingtang do? She could only use this reason to comfort herself. But the inner house was still in a gloomy mood. When everyone thought about their husband and sons’ life and death outside the residence, they suddenly didn’t even think about eating. No one touched much of their dinner as it ended after a few bites from everyone.
After dinner, 5th Madam Xu cto invite Mu Mingtang, “Your Highness, are you afraid of sleeping alone? If so, why don’t you cto my place at night?”
Mu Mingtang thanked 5th Madam Xu for her kindness and was about to decline politely when there was a sudden noise outside. Mu Mingtang and 5th Madam Xu looked at each other and ran out.
Sure enough, one after another, men jumped off their horses at the door. Although they were saying slightly boisterous things, their eyebrows were full of pride, “Hahaha, King Dongdan will never dare to enter the border again. 100,000 people were killed by 8,000 and they were suppressed and beaten. Then, 20,000 people escaped before he was brought back only a few days of sound sleep later. If I were him, I would kill myself to savefrom the shof staying alive.”
