Chapter 616 Worried about something happening in Shengjing
"Why did the granary catch fire? What do you think?" When Prince Xijiang rushed to the granary, it was already on fire. The soldiers carried buckets of water and poured them over it, but it was just a drop in the bucket and was of no use at all!
"Damn it!" Prince Xijiang kicked over the bucket beside him and angrily demanded, "Where's the person? Have you caught him?"
When asked by the Prince of Xijiang, everyone naturally lowered their heads, especially the commander who was guarding the granary, who committed suicide directly. It was bad enough that he failed to guard the granary, but now, he couldn't even catch the person who set fire to the granary. Would the prince let him live?
"The granary, the granary is on fire."
The Xijiang soldiers who were trying hard to resist General Qin's cavalry discovered that their granary was on fire. Their morale was already low, and now they had no intention of fighting.
General Qin took the opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop.
"Princess, it's done! He Changqing and the boss really burned down the Xijiang granary!"
After Guo Sheng discovered that the granary was on fire, he couldn't wait to report the good news.
"Not bad." Xiao Jiuyue praised.
"Princess, General Qin has captured the second prince Zhao Xu again!" Guo Sheng said what he thought was the most explosive thing, but unfortunately, not only did Xiao Jiuyue look calm, even Luo Kui beside him was not surprised at all!
"Luo Kui, it's fine if the princess isn't surprised, but why aren't you surprised?" Guo Sheng was shocked when he saw this scene!
Originally, Jiashui City was doomed to be lost, but now, the situation has been reversed!
"What's so surprising?" Luo Kui glared at him and said, "If the princess says it's possible, then it must be possible!"
"But you, having been by the princess's side for such a long time, still don't know how to write the word calm!" Luo Kui said proudly. She said, "Compared to the capture of the Second Prince of Xijiang, I'm more curious about whether the Crown Prince of Xijiang has sent reinforcements? Or whether he has turned back to save the granary?"
"It's a pity that I can't see with my own eyes the charcoal-black face of Prince Xijiang." Luo Kui said regretfully.
"I don't need to see it to know that Prince Xijiang is furious!" Guo Sheng answered without thinking.
Soon, the victory news came from the city wall. The people and soldiers of Jiashui City worked together to clean up the battlefield.
General Wang was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. Hearing the cheers outside, he called his confidant over and said, "What should we do? If we win this battle, won't I become a laughing stock?"
The credit that was within his grasp was given to others in the blink of an eye!
"General, we're not thinking about merit right now, we're thinking about Prince Ling!" The confidant reminded him, "We came to Jiashui City for only one purpose, and that's to get rid of Prince Ling!"
The anger in General Wang's eyes slowly subsided, and he said, "You are right. Compared with the merits of the Dragon, this little bit of achievement is nothing."
"However, Prince Ling now has the support of the people and the army, and he has now defeated the people of Xijiang. How can we get rid of him?"
…
"Princess, didn't we win beautifully in today's battle? Why do you look unhappy at all?" Luo Kui brought Xiao Jiuyue a bowl of bone soup noodles.
After a great victory today, Xiao Jiuyue ordered people to slaughter a pig and invited everyone to eat meat. Luo Kui also brought a bowl of bone soup noodles to Xiao Jiuyue and made a bowl of bone soup noodles for her.
"Victory in this battle is very good for our Jiashui City."
Xiao Jiuyue gazed towards Shengjing and said, "There's no news from Prince Duan. I guess he's back in Shengjing. He disregarded the lives of 80,000 people in Jiashui City and wanted to accuse the prince of treason. How could he be so bold?"
She was worried that something had happened in Shengjing.
Xiao Jiuyue murmured in her heart, it was a pity that she was now trapped in Jiashui City and could do nothing, so she decided to lift the siege of Jiashui City first.
"Luo Kui, tomorrow you go with Guo Sheng to see if there is anything to eat, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, lotus roots and the like." Xiao Jiuyue felt that they still had to think of a way to find food to fill their stomachs!
Otherwise, they still wouldn’t have enough food before the reinforcements arrived.
"Okay, don't worry, Princess. I'll just find a potato today and look around tomorrow." Luo Kui said, thinking to himself that he would definitely look for one tomorrow!
"We've searched all over this area, where are there any potatoes?" Guo Sheng followed Luo Kui all the way to search. He was lucky yesterday and dug up some potatoes, but how could there be potatoes every day?
"This land is so barren, how come there are no wild potatoes?" Luo Kui sighed and said, "I asked the people in Jiashui City, and no one in this area of Jiashui City grows potatoes."
"If this were in Fu'an Village, it would be everywhere." Luo Kui missed Fu'an Village. The princess led the villagers and even planted a lot of cassava, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the mountain!
It’s almost autumn now, roasted potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes, they smell so good!
"Who said it wasn't?" Guo Sheng sat beside Luo Kui. Both of them were almost confused. On the way back, they came across a pond and decided to catch lotus roots. Perhaps, there were lotus roots in it?
"Wait a minute." Guo Sheng grabbed Luo Kui and pulled her directly into the bushes beside him.
"Guo..." Luo Kui's mouth was covered before he could finish his words. Luo Kui's eyes widened and he raised his fist and punched Guo Sheng: "Look what that is?"
Guo Sheng's chest was hit hard. He lowered his voice and said, "Look!"
…
"It's getting dark, Luo Kui hasn't come back yet?" Xiao Jiuyue looked outside and saw that it was almost dark. Why hasn't he come back yet?
"Guo Sheng will be fine as long as he's with her," Dong Gui consoled her, adding, "Who knows, maybe they've found something good?"
"That's right. Guo Sheng has calmed down a lot in recent years. Nothing will happen to him." Xiao Jiuyue thought so and felt relieved. After dinner, when they still hadn't returned, Xiao Jiuyue became a little worried and said, "Donggui, send someone..."
"Princess, we are back!"
Luo Kui's voice rang out. As soon as she entered the room, she was so excited that she said, "Princess, we can accomplish great things again!"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the straw on Luokui's body and the mud under her dress and couldn't help but ask, "Did you find something to eat?"
"No." Luo Kui shook her head and said, "Princess, you will never guess. We will definitely achieve great success today."
"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now," Dong Gui urged, looking at Luo Kui and asking, "Is it possible that you and Guo Sheng are together?"
"Dong Gui!"
Luo Kui was just building up her temper when she suddenly heard Dong Gui's urging. She screamed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be with a foodie like him?"
"A grown man loves to eat more than I do!" Luo Kui muttered in disdain, then rushed to Xiao Jiuyue. Thinking of his own dirtiness, he stopped and said excitedly, "We've discovered General Wang's secret~!"
