Chapter 217 Taking Action Ahead of Schedule! (Bonus Chapter for Mo Xiruo)
The first group of guard captains who were directly loyal to Ruan Xiyue found Qiu Ran and told her everything he had observed and the various situations.
He felt that it was more appropriate for Qiu Ran to report these situations to Ruan Xiyue than for him to do so himself.
So Qiu Ran went to Ruan Xiyue's house, where Ruan Xiyue had already woken up.
She washed off her tired makeup, revealing a healthy and radiant appearance, and greeted Qiu Ran.
Qiu Ran was slightly surprised: "The captain said that you, Holy Mother, are not in good condition, and told me to come and report to you again tomorrow if I feel that you are too tired!"
Ruan Xiyue smiled, but didn't explain to Qiu Ran. Instead, she asked, "When is your little female coming? And what are you here to report?"
Qiu Ran scratched his head: "My little female won't be able to come here until next year. She'll probably arrive about two months after next spring."
"I'm here because the Captain asked me to report to you. The Captain discovered that Kui-il really wants to stay and become a member of the guard team with the same treatment as the Captain."
"Moreover, their team doesn't mind the Holy Mother dismantling and reorganizing them. What they value more is the treatment the Holy Mother of Dawn can offer their guards!"
"Almost all the guards in Kui Yi's team wanted to stay! But their families were still in the Holy City."
"Two other captains also intend to stay. But none of them are as determined as Kui Yi to stay."
Qiu Ran relayed the conclusions reached by the guard captains, and Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and nodded:
"Then go and find Chief Luo Qizhao of the Cheetah Tribe for me, and tell him directly how serious the matter is."
He was instructed to immediately mobilize the orcs living in the beast cave to stop hunting for the next few days and instead eat what they had stored up.
Let's spend a few days quickly building a batch of stone houses! Then we'll gradually relocate the orcs from the Cheetah Tribe here!
Ruan Xiyue narrowed her eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them!
She originally planned to take action when the second wave of beast tide was more intense.
It seems that the Red Fox Tribe shares the same idea as her!
Since that's the case, the first to strike wins, and the second to strike suffers!
The cubs that followed Ruan Xiyue into the living room keenly sensed her murderous intent. They suddenly bristled with excitement and let out low growls like small animals.
Qiu Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes. He keenly noticed that Ruan Xiyue's cub was quite different from other cubs!
How could other children understand a few words spoken by adults at this age?
Ruan Xiyue's toddler, who is only a little over a year old, seems to understand everything. Although the other younger toddlers just follow their older siblings' example, it's really amazing that a toddler of only eighteen or nineteen months old can understand what they're saying!
Ruan Xiyue said softly, "Next, I need you to hand over the guard duties to the orc team sent by the Beast King, and you, do your best to help expand the stone house!"
"There's one more problem. I'll only tell you this, you keep it a secret, and help me smooth things over with the Captain and the guards sent by the Beast King."
"At the end of the month, I'm going to the beast tide area of the Cheetah Tribe with Beastman Longze. Don't tell any of the beastmen about this! When the beastmen who are rotating shifts there return, I'll make sure they don't tell anyone either!"
"You absolutely must provide cover for me! Your value in mediating between the guards will be demonstrated! I have faith in you, Qiu Ran!"
Qiu Ran was stunned.
What did Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue say? Is she going out?
The Red Fox Tribe, along with some wandering beastmen, are keeping a close eye on the Holy Maiden Ruan Xiyue! Is she really going to go out at this critical juncture?
It's freezing cold! This year's beast tide is even fiercer than last year's. She's pregnant with her cubs; is she really going to go out?
Qiu Ran stared in disbelief, her mouth slightly agape, utterly at a loss for words!
Although he was very excited that Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue had entrusted him with such an important task, he had been following Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue from Bright Moon Beast City to the Lion Clan Tribe for several months, but he had not shown any outstanding value.
He was also frustrated by this.
But this mission... isn't Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue giving him a bit too much credit?
He didn't even want to think about what would happen if Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue got into trouble outside! He might have no choice but to atone with his death!
"Maybe I should just go with the Holy Mother..." Qiu Ran said, her eyes pleading.
Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "My guard team is a complete mess right now! You have to stay! Qiu Ran! You need to know! You are the first guard I recruited!"
"You not only have to do your best to hide the fact that I'm not in the tribe, but you also have to make these guards really listen to me! Help me protect the rear!"
"You know my priorities, right? I need my guards to obey me! They're too opinionated! I don't need guards who don't listen to me! Who are they protecting?"
"But I don't have time to deal with the guard team right now. I have more pressing issues to address!"
Qiu Ran immediately understood Ruan Xiyue's meaning. He solemnly knelt on one knee and bowed to Ruan Xiyue: "I'm so sorry, Holy Mother Xiyue! I understand! I will definitely handle the matter entrusted to me by the Holy Mother beautifully!"
After Qiu Ran left, Qi Heng frowned slightly, holding the cub and looking at Ruan Xiyue with a complicated expression: "I'm grateful for your trust in not hiding these things from me. But, I want to stay by your side..."
Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "You take your orcs and go with the second wave of orcs to relieve the garrison. In the next few days, you and the orcs of the Spirit Fox Tribe will help me expand the Lion Clan Tribe!"
Qi Heng opened his mouth, but swallowed the words in his mouth.
When Jiu Chen, Long Ze, and Qin Ye returned, Ruan Xiyue told them directly that she was leaving soon and that they should continue doing what they were doing for the next few days without revealing anything!
She took out a pair of shoes that she couldn't reach and said to them, "One pair is for Xia Weier, and I'll definitely wear one pair so I can do bad things. This pair is for Aze."
If I can get new ones, I'll give some to Jiu Chen and A Ye. You two help me guard the rear. As for Uncle Hua, you must try your best to keep it a secret; if you can't, it's okay if Uncle Hua finds out.”
Long Ze frowned slightly: "Are you leaving now?"
Ruan Xiyue stared at him with her bright, dark eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips: "Yes! I'll set off tonight!"
Long Ze was very worried, but he only frowned slightly and nodded, saying, "Okay! Be careful! If you really can't win, just run!"
Qin Ye couldn't help but whisper, "Brother!"
He didn't quite approve of Ruan Xiyue, a female, taking such a risk.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you go during the second rotation as we agreed before? Do you know how dangerous it is for a female like you to go like this!"
