"Are you Chizuru?"
He asked calmly, "Are you sure you can develop it?"
"Of course," Qian Zhong looked at him with a smile, "If I couldn't, I wouldn't have been caught by them."
Min Qiu, that old fox, will definitely cut him into pieces when he gets out. He actually lied to him.
This was the first time in his life that he was plotted against by someone, and that person was his own friend.
"Then you study yours and I'll study mine."
Old Chen turned his back and had no intention of continuing to communicate with Qian Zhong.
"Okay," Qian Zhong walked out and sighed, "I'll take my time."
Lou Qing explained: "Don't be upset, Doctor Qian, this is just Mr. Chen's temper."
"I know I don't want to share my achievements with others, that's okay."
He paused as he spoke, then walked to the nearby pharmacy to look through the herbs, changing the subject.
"Jin Ting'an is the one you captured to be trained into a special soldier?"
"Of course," Lou Qing said, not intending to hide anything. He asked, "Is Divine Doctor Qian interested in him?"
Qian Zhong withdrew his hand from picking the herbs, and there was no trace of expression on his face.
"He's a good talent. If used as a special force, he'll definitely become the king of special forces. Aren't you interested?"
Lou Qing laughed out loud when asked, "It turns out I misunderstood Doctor Qian."
"Misunderstand?"
Qian Zhong looked at him and said, "Do you think I want to know Jin Ting'an's whereabouts? I'm worried that you guys might have beaten him to death. That would be such a pity."
"Don't worry, Doctor Qian, I'll keep it for you to be the King of Strange Soldiers."
Lou Qing didn't want to say anything more to him, lest he reveal his true identity. He turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Qian Zhong say, "Where is he being held? I plan to use him to test the medicine."
"Such excellent materials, aren't you worried about wasting them if the test fails? I'll help you find other people to test the medicine on."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Qian Zhong looked at his departing back and fell into deep thought.
Judging from Lou Qing's reaction, Jin Ting'an should not be here.
…
The other side.
The Fourth Prince, who was about to reach the border with his reinforcements, was blocked.
Looking at the road blocked by stones, the Fourth Prince frowned.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Afeng, bring the map."
The Fourth Prince approached the huge rock that was blocking the way and wanted to ask the soldiers to move the rock away, but when he saw that the rock was solidified and could not be moved, he gave up the idea.
They had no gunpowder, so it was impossible to open it.
"Your Highness, the map."
Afeng took out the map and handed it to the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince opened it, looked at the route on the map, closed it and handed it back to Afeng.
"Since this road doesn't work, let's take another one."
After saying this, he loudly ordered the army to turn around and find another way.
"Your Highness, since this place is closed, that road should also be impassable."
This was obviously done intentionally by someone who didn't want reinforcements to arrive.
"I know, but there's no other way at the moment. We can only see if the situation on the other side is better."
The army followed the Fourth Prince toward another road indicated on the map. As expected, the suspension bridge ahead had been destroyed and was impassable.
The fourth prince picked up a stone and threw it under the suspension bridge. After hearing no echo for a long time, he stood up.
"If they fall, they will surely die. They really don't want the reinforcements we brought to arrive."
"What should we do now? These people must be doing this to get rid of the Third Prince and the Second Prince's troops first, and then deal with us."
The Fourth Prince squatted down and looked at the suspension bridge hanging in the mist. His mind suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice, "Bring the rope over here."
A Feng glanced down and said disapprovingly, "Your Highness, you are putting yourself in danger. Even if you tie a rope around your body and go down, there is no way to restore the suspension bridge."
This suspension bridge is made of steel wire and cannot be restored once it is destroyed.
The soldier brought the prepared rope to the Fourth Prince, who quickly tied the rope around his waist and picked up a roll of rope.
"You guys hold the other end of the rope. I'll use my Qinggong skills to go down and tie the rope to the suspension bridge. Then, I'll throw the rope tied to the suspension bridge to the other end."
The rope won't hold for long, but it'll let them through for now.
"Your Highness, this is too risky."
The soldiers who followed the Fourth Prince were actually a little resentful. In their opinion, the Fourth Prince was just a pampered prince and was not worthy of being their leader.
But when they saw the Fourth Prince tie the rope around his waist without hesitation, they sincerely approved of him.
There was a vast expanse of white below, and even those who had been to the battlefield felt weak in the knees just looking at it, not to mention the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince used a stone to test the depth below, but still decided to take the risk and put his safety in their hands.
If the Fourth Prince makes a mistake, his survival will depend on the rope in their hands.
"Fourth Prince, this is indeed too risky."
The soldiers looked worried and said, "Why don't we go back and pry the rocks off the other road?"
The Fourth Prince turned to look at them and said seriously, "It's impossible to pry it open. The enemy blocked our way just to delay us. If we are too late, the two teams that went earlier will be in danger."
Luo'er and her father have handed the reinforcements over to him, so he must take on this responsibility instead of retreating out of fear.
"Fourth Prince, from today on, you are one of the people I admire."
The deputy commander clasped his fists and saluted, "Don't worry, we will hold the rope tightly and won't let anything happen to you."
The fourth prince nodded, exhaled, and jumped down. He grabbed the hanging suspension bridge and slowly moved down. When he was almost at the end, he tied the rope into the gap between the suspension bridge's planks and tied a knot. After making sure it was firm enough, he observed the distance between the opposite side and here.
"Your Highness, how are you?"
Afeng didn't hear any movement, so he crawled on the ground, stuck his head out to look down, and asked worriedly.
The sound echoed in the mountains, but no response was heard from the Fourth Prince.
Afeng's heart tightened and he called out again, but the only response he received was the sound of birds singing in the mountains.
"Quick, pull the rope."
Before the soldiers could pull the rope, the Fourth Prince's voice came from below.
"I'm fine, you don't have to pull the rope."
Afeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the Fourth Prince's voice.
"Your Highness, please don't joke with us at this time."
The Fourth Prince laughed, "I didn't expect you to care about me so much. Okay, I'm going to get the rope to the other side now."
The sound disappeared, and the Fourth Prince grabbed the rope tied to the suspension bridge and flew to the opposite side with his lightness skills. He aimed at a small branch growing on the opposite stone wall and raised his hand to grab it. However, the branch had too little weight-bearing capacity, and he pulled the small branch out by the roots with this grab.
As the branch was pulled up, the Fourth Prince lost his support and began to slide down, with stones rolling down.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly. After sliding down, he quickly grabbed a protruding stone to stabilize his sliding body, and then used the stone to climb up to the other side.
Arriving on the other side, the Fourth Prince's back was already drenched in sweat. He didn't care about the scratches and bleeding hands he had cut while climbing the stone wall. He shouted to the soldiers on the opposite side, "It's a success. Don't worry, I'm fine."
