Chapter 354 He believes her
With the help of the Xiyue Army, the capital of the Wucang Kingdom was not only preserved, but the army of Liunan was also driven out fifty miles away, and two small cities were recovered overnight.
The King of Wu Cang was overjoyed, and at the suggestion of his favorite minister, he wanted to hold a banquet to invite the prince of Xiyue and General Shufeng. On the one hand, he wanted to sincerely thank the Xiyue army for their help, and on the other hand, he naturally had to continue to rely on Xiyue country to help Wu Cang recover the lost territory. As for his original ambition to destroy Liunan, it had long been defeated by Liunan army.
However, the invitation from Wucang was politely declined by the King, who reminded the King of Wucang that the outcome of the war between the two countries was still undecided, and that the war should be the most important thing and he should not be careless. Shu Feng, who was standing by, could not help but sneer in front of the envoy of Wucang, saying: "Most of your country is still in the hands of Liunan, and you still have the mind to hold a grand banquet. Your King is really open-minded and generous!"
Shu Feng's blunt ridicule made the Wu Cang envoy's face turn red and white, but he still smiled and said a few polite words before leaving in a sullen manner. When he returned to Wu Cang, he told his master in detail. Although the master of Wu Cang was unhappy after hearing it, he felt like he had something stuck in his throat. He wanted to scold but didn't know where to start, so he just brushed his sleeves and gave up.
"This has dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Liunan Kingdom, and has also swept away the gloom of our soldiers about the previous disastrous defeat." In the central military tent of the southern border camp of Xiyue Kingdom, Shufeng folded his arms across his chest, looking at the sand table in front of him, and smiled happily.
At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that it was Prince Zong's cautious strategy that made him feel at ease, unlike the impulsive Prince Han who was eager to attack as soon as he arrived and suffered a defeat without understanding the actual situation of Liunan's army.
"This is a good thing." Yan Zong sat at the desk beside him and responded absent-mindedly.
"Are you still worried about the people who are helping Liu Nan behind the scenes?" Shu Feng looked up at Yan Zong and asked with concern.
"I'm not worried, I'm just curious. I'm curious about who this person is and how he knows so much about my Xiyue Army." Yan Zong sneered and said in a calm voice while holding up the warm tea in front of him.
"Don't worry, we will know when our iron hoofs break through the gate of Liunan Country." Shufeng also laughed disapprovingly, and then came to Yan Zong with great interest and continued to ask: "I heard that you met Lady Yun from Liunan Country last night? Yu Cheng also had a fight with her? How is her spearmanship? Is the rumor true?"
"Well, it's true as the rumors say that her spear skills are extremely domineering. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that a little girl could have such strength. Compared with her father Zheng Yu, who has mediocre talent, I think she is even better than his father." Speaking of Zheng Yunqi, Yan Zong's cold eyes revealed a bit of admiration, this kind of appreciation is like the mutual respect between masters.
"You have such a high opinion of her?" Shu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled gossipyly.
"The shortcoming is that you are still young, and your mentality is not mature enough." Yan Zong guessed that his mind had gone astray again, so his face immediately turned cold and he continued to add.
"At the young age of 28, you are indeed not as cunning as Yu Cheng." Shu Feng did not pay attention to the change in Yan Zong's expression and continued to joke.
"Hehe, General, I'm only the same age as your highness, how come I'm so cunning and treacherous?" Just as Shu Feng finished speaking, Yu Cheng suddenly walked in with a look of grievance on his face. Apparently, he happened to hear what he had just said.
"In Madam Yun's eyes, you are just..." Shu Feng saw the grievance on Yu Cheng's face. Instead of feeling guilty, he started to smile. However, when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly felt Yan Zong's threatening eyes. He realized that what he was about to say would offend the King, so he quickly shut up.
"Is this the first time you know that he is uneducated and loves to show off his literary talent?" Yan Zong retracted his cold eyes, glanced at Yu Cheng, and said in a calm voice.
"Hehe, you're exposing someone's shortcomings but not theirs. You're mocking me as a rough guy again?" Shu Feng's mouth twitched and he grumbled to Yan Zong with a resentful look on his face.
"What's the matter?" Yan Zong ignored him and asked Xiang Yucheng again.
"Your Highness, Xiaobai is back." Yu Cheng then remembered the important matter and bowed to report.
Upon hearing this, Yan Zong hurriedly stood up and walked out of the tent.
"What's the matter? Why is your prince so nervous? Who is Xiaobai?" When Yu Cheng wanted to follow Yan Zong, Shu Feng stopped him curiously.
"General, you should ask His Highness in person." Yu Cheng shrugged and said with a smile.
Watching Yu Cheng's departing back, Shu Feng became even more curious. However, as the commander-in-chief of the army, it was not easy for him to sneak around and pry into the private affairs of the prince. He had to wait for the prince to come back and then ask him in person. However, would his good friend tell him what Yu Cheng didn't dare to say in private?
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Yan Zong returned to his tent anxiously. Xiaobai had been waiting inside for a long time. Upon seeing Prince Zong, he knelt down and paid his respects.
"Get up." Yan Zong said calmly, and then asked hurriedly: "Have you found her? Is she okay?"
"Your Highness, Miss Si Yao is fine, but this morning she entered Lianzhou, where Jingsong Kingdom was suffering from a plague. The borders of Lianzhou are guarded by soldiers, so Xin Nu and I cannot continue to follow her, so we had to come back to ask for instructions." Xiaobai stood up and continued to reply to Yan Zong carefully.
"The plague in Lianzhou is serious right now, so don't go in." After hearing Xiaobai's reply, Yan Zong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was safe and sound, and fortunately, it was just a nightmare.
"But Lianzhou is in danger. Isn't Your Highness worried about Miss Si Yao?" Seeing that His Highness was not at all panicked when he learned that Miss Si Yao had entered the plague-stricken area, Xiaobai was a little puzzled and worried, so he hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but say another word and asked.
"She is a doctor. When encountering a plague, she should go to save people." Yan Zong's eyes flashed, and he murmured after a moment of silence.
It would be a lie to say that she was not worried, but curing illnesses and saving lives was her mission as a doctor, and Yan Zong believed in her wisdom and her medical skills. As the last disciple of the great doctor Sanxiu in the southern part of Xiyue, she had been traveling alone in the southern part of Jingsong for half a year and had never misdiagnosed or harmed anyone. She also earned a reputation as a good doctor along the way. These were enough to prove that she was capable of protecting herself while saving the victims.
