Grocery Store Connects Past and Present: The Prince I Raised Ascended the Throne

After a failed entrepreneurial venture, Sang Jueqian inherited her grandfather's grocery store, only to discover that the store's window led to ancient times!

On the first day of open...

Chapter 279 Temporary Retreat

It’s not that Sang Jueqian is being pretentious, the scene is simply bloody and disgusting.

For Sang Jueqian, who grew up in a peaceful era, the impact was still too great.

No matter what others think or see, at least Sang Jueqian herself feels that she has done a pretty good job.

Sun Er was the closest to Sang Jueqian. Seeing Sang Jueqian covering her mouth with a look of great pain, he immediately asked with concern, "Goddess, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your body?"

Could he be injured?

If the goddess was really injured, how would he explain it to the prince?

The more Sun Er thought about it, the more nervous he became, and his face turned pale.

Sang Jueqian waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm not injured."

Seeing that Sang Jueqian just looked a little unhappy and there were no other problems, Sun Er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the goddess is fine! Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to the prince."

Sang Jueqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. "Now is not the time to talk about this. Pay attention to the situation below. If they have no intention of retreating, continue the attack."

I took a look and saw that there was about one third of the ammunition left.

If this continues, I probably won’t last more than two quarters of an hour.

If the other side knew that they had no ammunition, they would find a way to break through the city gate today no matter what.

If that time really comes, it will be too late to save the situation.

Sang Jueqian was anxious, but did not say it out loud.

She knew in her heart that even if she said it out loud, it would be useless and would affect morale. It would be better not to say anything and wait and see.

The Turkic army did not make any movement, and those who had frantically tried to climb the city walls and attack the city gates also retreated.

Although the Turks are brave and warlike, and their bodies are stronger and more ferocious, they are still human beings after all.

As long as one is a human being, he or she will naturally be afraid of death.

If there is a chance of winning, it is worth a try, but now it is obvious that there is no chance of winning. Who would seek death at this time!

While Sang Jueqian was waiting anxiously, the Turks retreated.

When they came, there was a mighty army of 50,000, but when they left, there were only more than 40,000 people, leaving behind a field of corpses.

Even though the survivors had already evacuated, Sang Jueqian still felt heavy in his heart when he saw the corpses scattered on the ground.

I have read about ancient wars in history books or watched movies and TV dramas before, and I know that the battlefield was very cruel.

No matter who wins or loses, there will always be corpses left on the ground.

But knowing is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

The saying that human life was worthless in ancient times was completely and thoroughly revealed to Sang Jueqian at this moment.

"Retreat!" Sun Er shouted in surprise.

The others also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

From the time they learned that the Turkic army was coming until now, they have been worried that the city would be breached.

Now that they saw the Turkic army had temporarily retreated, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at Sun Er and the others who had expressions of relief at surviving a disaster, Sang Jueqian also laughed.

But at this moment, Sun Er and others all knelt down in her direction.

"Thank you, Goddess!"

A group of people spoke in unison. Although the voices were not loud, they came suddenly and still scared Sang Jueqian.

"you......"

Sang Jueqian quickly waved his hands, "No need to thank me... Everyone, get up!"

She just did what she thought she should do, and there was no need for them to thank her so formally.

Sun Er had spent more time with Sang Jueqian and understood her personality to some extent. After hearing Sang Jueqian's words, he was the first to stand up and said to the others, "You all should stand up too!"

Seeing that everyone was up, Sang Jueqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Sun Er, Lei Shou, you two have always followed your prince. I think you are quite good at marching and fighting. You can arrange the rest by yourselves. I will take this opportunity to go to Xizhou and get some ammunition from Ban Si."

Upon hearing this, Sun Er and Lei Shou knelt down again.

The difference from before was that this time the two of them knelt on one knee, looking up at Sang Jueqian at the same time, "Don't worry, Goddess, we will definitely guard Tingzhou and wait for you to come back!"

Sang Jueqian waved his hand and flew down from the city wall directly towards the Temple of the Goddess.

Before reaching the entrance of the Goddess Temple, I saw Madam Sheng and Aunt Jin waiting there from afar.

Sang Jueqian was stunned for a moment, then continued walking forward, asking as he walked, "Why are Madam and Auntie standing here?"

Madam Sheng's eyes were filled with concern. "I've heard from the guards that you've already repelled the Turkic army, so I'm waiting here for you."
