Chapter 278: Prepare for Battle

Within two days, everyone nearby knew that Jiang Lin had been shot in the chest, and all the doctors who could be found were called. Outsiders thought that Jiang Lin was on the verge of death and had no hope of survival.

King Cheng was in a depressed mood because of his men's defeat, and the news of Jiang Lin's imminent death added fuel to his anger. He even thought of resuscitating Jiang Lin and shooting him with another arrow.

"Were you seen by others that day?" King Cheng asked the people around him.

"No, we just went to seek medical treatment and didn't meet anyone from the other side on the way." The subordinate replied with his head down.

"Prince Cheng, the doctor we sent has also replied. Jiang Lin has indeed been unconscious all day."

King Cheng naturally received the news. Whether it was the doctor who was captured from Jiang Lin's mansion or the people they sent themselves, they all confirmed this.

That's why King Cheng was dissatisfied. "What's going on with King Li?"

"Reporting to King Cheng, I heard that King Li is preparing to ask for merit with King Han."

Upon hearing this, King Cheng clenched his hands, gritted his teeth and sneered, "He's not dead yet, aren't you afraid that the attacker will sprain his back?"

King Li was not afraid. His men had seen with their own eyes that Jiang Lin was lying on the bed in a state worse than death, with only one breath left to survive. He guessed that Jiang Lin would be dead in two days at most, unless a god came to the world.

The person they believed was about to die had a rosy complexion and his thumping heartbeat showed his vitality.

"Miss Third, are you a god who has descended to earth?" Anliu and the dummy on the bed have been looking at each other face to face for several days, but he couldn't help but call it that every time he saw it.

Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Today, Undercurrent had a new way of praising people.

The undercurrent was originally admiration, and there was no need for Qin Xiangnuan to respond to him, so he continued to talk about what he heard on the street.

"Everyone says that if the gods hadn't saved the master, she would have died tomorrow." Anliu smiled, "But no matter which master it is, she wouldn't have died. If the Third Miss isn't a god, then who is she?"

Jiang Lin turned his head to look at Anliu, and happened to see him making some moves, and his eyes darkened.

The person on the bed was, after all, bearing his face, and the undercurrent of movement looked very awkward.

"Have you found any results from the investigation I asked you to do?" Jiang Lin asked him coldly.

When Anliu heard that something was wrong, he immediately withdrew his hand, turned around, straightened up, and replied in one go.

"Master, King Li has prepared a celebration banquet, and King Han seems to be in high spirits as well." Anliu said quickly, "King Cheng is trying to prove his merit by offering King Han a plan. We can take this opportunity to show our power and capture this place."

Jiang Lin frowned slightly. "If we mobilize our forces now, we will both suffer losses. How can King Han agree to this?"

Anliu nodded, "King Han really has no such intention, but since something happened to you, my master, he is a little shaken at the moment."

"If King Han really agrees, it would be a bit hasty and reckless." If Qin Xiangnuan were King Han, he would never rashly decide to go to war when everything is not ready.

Because no matter how ambitious they are, before they take action, both sides can always maintain superficial peace. Once the war starts, it is not easy to stop.

Although Jiang Lin also thought so, he was also afraid that the other party would take him by surprise.

"The strength of the soldiers here is far from enough. If a fight really breaks out, the foreign countries will actually have a greater chance of winning." Jiang Lin said after thinking about it. They just have more people and more momentum, which can deter King Han from taking action easily.

Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but frown as she listened to Jiang Lin's analysis. "It's impossible to improve their strength in such a short period of time."

"We need to make King Cheng give up this idea." Jiang Lin said, "Anliu, go spread some rumors. Say that I was poisoned last time and no one could cure me. It just so happened that the doctor got a prescription from someone nearby, so..."

Hearing this, Anliu's eyes widened, "Master, I understand. I'll do it right away."

"This is not a long-term solution." Qin Xiangnuan sighed softly.

Jiang Lin understood that this rumor could at most divert King Cheng's attention for a few days and make him suspicious of King Li, but it was also easy to verify.

But Jiang Lin had no idea whether King Cheng believed what King Li said.

"Nuannuan." Jiang Lin opened his mouth, called out, and then paused.

Qin Xiangnuan saw that he was a little embarrassed to speak, but she did not urge him.

Jiang Lin's lips opened and closed several times before finally entering a state of opening and closing and speaking smoothly.

"Soldiers themselves are useless, but they are people who can use weapons." Jiang Lin said quickly, "This time, I need you to provide a large number of hidden weapons, so that we can stabilize the strength of our army."

Qin Xiangnuan's expression gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "No problem."

This is another big step forward in the relationship between the two.

The number of doctors going to Jiang Lin's residence was decreasing. King Cheng obtained King Han's consent on the pretext of finding out the strength of Jiang Lin's soldiers and prepared to send troops.

But they did not come here as foreigners, and although they knew it to each other, it was just an attempt to cover up their mistakes.

"Master, our people are ready." An Feng deployed the troops in the front and came back to report to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin nodded, "You go to the front and guard it yourself."

An Feng received the order and turned to leave. Jiang Lin stopped him again, "Do you have enough manpower?"

Jiang Lin's men had never experienced such a large-scale war before. This was officially their first time.

What he learned from the book was ultimately too shallow, and Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried.

An Feng turned around and said, "We have enough people. With the help of the Third Miss, our chances of winning are even greater. Master, don't worry!"

Jiang Lin nodded, waved his hand and let them go.

Qin Xiangnuan walked behind Jiang Lin, knowing that the success or failure of this mission would be crucial to Jiang Lin's future missions.

"Don't worry." Qin Xiangnuan stood face to face with Jiang Lin, and reached out to pull him towards the table and chairs.

Jiang Lin obediently walked to the stool, and Qin Xiangnuan reached out and helped him sit down.

"Nuannuan, I took the initiative to ask for permission to come to the border, not because I am confident that I can solve the problems here." Since Jiang Lin asked for help from Qin Xiangnuan, he no longer hid anything from her.

"Jiang Lin, you have the ability." Qin Xiangnuan frowned slightly. She looked at Jiang Lin with some displeasure at this moment.

Jiang Lin smiled at Qin Xiangnuan, as if he had taken off his disguise and was no longer as decisive and murderous as he was in front of the secret guards.

"Nuannuan, but I still came." Jiang Lin's lips curved slightly, "Because no one else can do it except me."

If Jiang Lin said this from someone else, it would definitely give the impression of being arrogant, but Jiang Lin would not do that.

Qin Xiangnuan's brows slowly relaxed, and like Jiang Lin, she raised the corners of her mouth.

"I know." Qin Xiangnuan said, "If a loser like Gu Mingqi can become a prominent prince, you can imagine the corruption in the court."
