The dining table was filled with joy. Today, Marquis Wu Ding had made a great splash, winning so many spoils of war back. Mu and Yulian, upon hearing Zong Bai and Fang Jinxiu's recounting, were as excited as if they themselves had won the competition.

Yu Lian said angrily, "That Xixia prince is so arrogant and disrespectful. He thinks he can bully people just because of his status. This isn't Xixia, luckily your brother is here, otherwise that Northern Border warrior would have been in trouble today."

Mu Shi couldn't quite smile. The prince of Xixia, just by his title, was someone of high rank.

She looked at Zongyu with worried eyes.

"Ayu, do you think that Xi Xia prince will come after you"

Hearing this, Yu Lian also turned her concerned gaze to her elder brother.

"That's right, Big Bro. You offended that prince for the sake of the Northland warriors. He'll definitely cause you trouble, right"

Zong Bai glanced at his elder brother and said to his mother and younger sister.

Even if he wanted to cause trouble for his older brother, he should know what kind of place this is.

With Your Majesty here, Herelle dares not.

Jade Lotus turned her thoughts and felt that what Second Brother said was reasonable.

"Yes, this is Daxie, not their Xixia."

"Besides, Big Brother is still the Marquis of Wuding. If they dare to touch even a single hair on Big Brother's head, I estimate that all of them combined wouldn't be able to beat even one finger of Big Brother!"

Mu listened to the children's chatter, though she didn't understand most of it. She did, however, understand that her eldest son wouldn't be in any trouble.

"Then I'm relieved."

"I wonder if that warrior from the Northern Frontier is alright." Mu shi only asked this out of kindness.

Suddenly, Zong Yu, Zong Bai, and Fang Jinxiu's faces changed.

Zong Bai immediately stood up, "Sister-in-law, when Hellie wakes up and learns about his hand injury, he definitely won't let it go. He doesn't dare to do anything to Big Brother, but he will definitely cause trouble at the northern frontier inn."

"I."

Tana would never stand idly by when it came to her people.

She is in danger!

As soon as he thought of this, Zong Bai couldn't sit still. Anxiety naturally appeared between his brows.

Seeing this, Fang Jinshu grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

"You can't go."

In a moment of desperation, Zong Bai almost blurted out that he was fine, but luckily, he saw his sister-in-law's eyes and kept his mouth shut.

Zongyu stood up. "My wife and I are going somewhere."

Yu Lian looked completely dumbfounded, unable to understand why her second brother was suddenly in such a hurry. It seemed like she had never seen him this agitated before.

"That's right, let the eldest brother go. Second brother, you can't beat those Xixia barbarians in martial arts, so let the eldest brother go."

Fang Jinshi turned her head and looked at Mu Shi.

"Mother, if Herel is truly going to attack the delegation from Beijiang, I fear Tana will be implicated as well. I'm going to go see."

Tana and Zongjia are now on good terms. Although she is a princess, she doesn't have any aristocratic airs about her. Instead, she is approachable, with a gentle personality.

Both Mu Shi and Yu Lian still quite liked this princess from Beijiang.

Therefore, as soon as Fang Jinshu said this, he immediately nodded.

"Alright, you go on now. Tanna is a good girl, be sure not to hurt her."

Fan Jinshu smiled, "Don't worry, Mother."

"Big brother, sister-in-law, you two also have to be careful. Don't be like those barbaric Xixia people."

Fang Jinshi nodded.

"When have you ever seen your sister-in-law be taken advantage of"

Yulian chuckled, "That's right, most people who meet my sister-in-law end up at a disadvantage."

"You guys should head back early. If you can't, just have the envoys from Beijang stay at our mansion. I don't believe that Xixia's so-called prince would dare to cause trouble at our Wuding Hou Mansion."

Fang Jinshu had this intention, but she estimated that Tanya would not agree.

It's not an issue of propriety to have the Northern Border envoy group stay at the palace. Your Majesty has already betrothed Tana to the Second Prince, so nominally, the Northern Border and Great Xi are in a marriage alliance and stand on the same side.

Even if it was reported to the emperor, he might not agree to it.

But Tanna is a person of soft exterior and strong interior. She seems very agreeable on the surface, but if she were to bring them home, it could put them in danger as well. Tanna would never agree to this proposal.

"Mother, we'll go first then. You should rest early and don't wait up for us."

Mu nodded.

Although she superficially agreed to let her daughter-in-law rest early, the lamp in the courtyard remained lit as usual. It wasn't until Qiu Ju reported that they had all returned safely that Mu would go to sleep.

The Xi Xia guards stood at the gate of Beijang Post House, locked in a standoff with the Beijang warriors for some time.

When Fang Jinxiu and Zong Yu arrived, two Northern Border soldiers were being beaten and sent flying without the ability to fight back. Zong Yu leaped forward and caught the two men.

Otherwise, their heads would have nearly collided with the rocks. At best, they would have suffered skull fractures; at worst, their brains would have burst and killed them.

These Xixia guards were as ruthless and merciless as their master, each move aimed at taking a life.

The appearance of Zongyu eased the North Border soldiers' tension. They all knew Princess Tana had a good relationship with the Marquis Wuding and his family, so the Marquis coming at this time must be to help them.

The heavily bolted gate of the inn swung open at that moment. The old ministers in the delegation had been holding onto Tanna, preventing her from leaving. They only released her when they saw the appearance of Marquis Wuding and his wife.

Tana immediately dashed out.

The guards of Xixia looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure what to do. Should they continue arresting people

If we can't bring back the map, Your Highness will be furious, and none of us will escape punishment.

"Splendid Sister!"

Fāng Jǐnxiù caught Tána and, with her still in tow, walked back to the inn's entrance, far away from the Xixia guards.

"How did you get here." Tana said, her face filled with gratitude.

The two warriors who had just been knocked away also came over, bowing respectfully to Fang Jinshu.

"Thank you, Lord and Lady, for your help."

If it weren't for Marquis Wuding's timely appearance, the two of them could have very well lost their lives just now.

Fan Jinshu nodded at the two, "It's fine, let's go in and treat our wounds first."

The envoys from the Northern Frontier also came out to thank Fang Jinshu one after another.

Tana herded the people inside. "Alright, you're not needed here anymore, go in," she said.

The emissary led his warriors back to the entrance. A total of only thirty or so warriors from Beijang had arrived, and half of them were wounded by Xixia's guards. It seemed that the remaining competition would be a hopeless endeavor for Beijang.

"Myu and I guessed that after Herle woke up, he might seek revenge from Ertu, so we came to see the situation."

Tana smiled wryly, "Sister Jinxiu is still as clever as ever. They really were sent by the Prince of Xixia to capture Ertu."

But as the princess of Beijang, I cannot send my own warriors out to be used as a punching bag for such a ridiculous reason.

Each warrior in the North Frontier is precious. Our population is small, and their parents trust the royal family enough to send their most beloved sons to serve.

"If they die on the battlefield, it is an honor to defend their home and country. They will have no regrets even in death."
