1338 Less than a Woman 3
No one dared to say anything more, so the whole thing was settled. Xuan Lin got up and went to do the planning for the next day, instead of glancing at these soldiers.
When Xuan Lin was gone, the soldiers wiped their sweat and followed.

Outside the gate of Xinzhou.
Gu Chaoyan had already formed the array and had almost covered every possible invasion. It was a huge project, so when she was done, Gu Chaoyan was covered in sweat. She was exhausted, yet she was in a good mood.
With this array formation on, Xinzhou should be safe for at least half a month.
The civilians and soldiers at the border could relax a little and focus on new countering methods.
Zhou Huaijin took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead, as he held up the umbrella and accompanied her back to the gate.
They shut the gate the moment they walked in.
General Huangpu and Wu Leng were waiting for them at the gate, so after seeing them return, they walked up and said, “How did it go, Lady Chaoyan?”
“The array is done, and the enemies should invade tomorrow, and they will be well prepared and have a lot of forces with them. We need to be cautious, but we don’t need to be too worried. The enemies should fail tomorrow.”
“…”
“The array formation should protect us for at least half a month, but it is not yet the time for us to totally relax. We need to find a new method to keep an eternal defense. The array won’t last forever, so we have to have a long-term defense for the land.”
“…”
“I feel a bit exhausted, so I need to take a break,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
General Huangpu and Wu Leng greeted Gu Chaoyan politely.
Especially Wu Leng, who said gratefully, “Lady Chaoyan, half a month is already enough for us. If not for your array formation, we would have lost the defense and the enemies would have headed all the way to the capital.”
Wu Leng was very straightforward and always said what was hidden inside his mind.
What he said was true, though not that pleasing to hear.
Gu Chaoyan suddenly felt speechless to comment about Wu Leng.
Gu Chaoyan said briefly, “Anyway, we have done a lot of work today, let’s just have a good rest.”
They all nodded, then Zhou Huaijin took Gu Chaoyan away.
As they went back to the room, the snow became heavier and the temperature dropped, but everyone was warm inside. Though they did not hold any celebratory events, they all knew that they were safe right now and many fellows were saved from death.
It was a very long night, but it passed by in silence.
The following morning, Gu Chaoyan ate a quick breakfast and went onto the gate.
She was not totally relaxed despite the array formation.
The enemies lost the battle and they definitely would not be convinced. So they must be heading here early in the morning and she needed to be guarding the situation.
Gu Chaoyan had just walked up to the top of the gate when the sound of footsteps was heard.
It was the enemies!
Everyone looked quite alarmed, but Gu Chaoyan looked calm.
She was watching the troops approaching the gate.
They had more than 10,000 people with them as well as many magical monsters.
The soldiers at the top of the gate could not help feeling quite frightened, but Gu Chaoyan still had a very calm expression.
She observed the enemies carefully.
Well…
