Chapter 509 The War Spreads
The Third Prince is not a fool, how could he not guess that all this is related to Shen Wan and the others?
But now he has no evidence, so he can't put the blame on them.
Even if they wanted to deduct it, the question was whether Shen Wan and Xie Mubai would agree?
Not only will they not agree, they might even use this as an excuse to bite back.
"If you're not afraid of death, then arrest them!" He cursed with a gloomy face and gnashed teeth, "Don't forget, they have the support of the old master and Shen Yizhou behind them!"
When the Third Prince thought of those two old immortals, his anger grew even stronger.
He has been in a bad mood ever since he got that strange disease.
Not only did the old tutor not help him, he even added insult to injury. I don't know how many bad things he said about him in front of the dog emperor.
What’s even more hateful is that this matter somehow reached the ears of the prince.
The once honest and simple prince had changed his behavior and was suppressed in various ways.
Because of this, even Concubine Yu was implicated.
His wet nurse was inexplicably punished with twenty strokes of the cane. It is said that she is still in so much pain that she cannot get out of bed.
When the prefect heard the old tutor and Shen Yizhou, he was so scared that he immediately shut up.
Although he was extremely disgusted with the group of people in Lanyang City, he had to admit that their backers seemed to be much more powerful than his own.
If I had known this would happen, I would have just followed the prince.
Under the current circumstances, it is inevitable that the prince will ascend the throne.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" the prefect asked hurriedly.
In a few days, he would have to hand over all the able-bodied men and food supplies to his superiors.
But now there is no food or grass, and not many able-bodied men can be recruited.
If the higher-ups really investigate, he will have to rely on this scumbag prince for support.
The Third Prince said impatiently, "Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it myself."
"By the way, did you...did you deal with that bastard?"
Whenever he thought of the horrific scene last night, his hair stood on end and his teeth chattered.
If he couldn't cut the guard into pieces, he would never be able to get rid of the anger in his heart.
God knows how badly he was tortured that night!
If he hadn't given up on the throne, he would have really wanted to kill himself.
"It's been dealt with," the prefect asked, somewhat puzzled. "But that guard usually looks quite honest. What blunder did he commit to cause such wrath, Your Highness?"
"It's none of your business, get out!"
The Third Prince was already furious, but this ignorant prefect kept mentioning the guard, which made him even more angry.
Seeing him angry, the prefect was frightened and quickly retreated.
When I left the room, I realized that I was scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
Alas, they say that serving the king is like serving a tiger.
Now this damn prince hasn't even won the position of crown prince, but he starts acting like he's the emperor.
If this guy really gets promoted in the future, won’t his tail be soaring to the sky?
Perhaps he needs to find a way out for himself.
Autumn gradually fades away, and winter snow comes unexpectedly.
The Fanbang people are a nomadic people. They usually graze and hunt, and live a carefree and comfortable life.
But when winter came, they had to face the problem of food shortage.
As a result, the fighting at the border intensified again.
In addition, the commander of the Wei Dynasty was really incompetent, so the war quickly spread.
For a time, the land was filled with grief and blood flowed like a river.
In desperation, the dog emperor could only increase the intensity of conscription again.
At the instigation of the crown prince, he even sent the third prince to the border to supervise the battle.
The third prince was so ill that he couldn't even get on his horse.
But the imperial order was hard to disobey, and he dared not disobey.
Moreover, if this battle could be won, perhaps he could turn the tide and regain the favor of the dog emperor.
After much deliberation, he still went to the battlefield.
Of course, if he hadn't caused some distress to Shen Wan and Xie Mubai before moving forward, he wouldn't be the Third Prince.
So, he waved his hand and ordered the conscription of two thousand able-bodied men from Lanyang City!
He just didn't believe it.
Shen Wan and the others could escape once, and they can escape a second time!
However, he really underestimated Shen Wan.
Shen Wan might be short of other things, but she would definitely not be short of explosives.
Not to mention the ones in space, the ones in the explosives factory on the mountain could be piled up into a mountain.
So she imitated Chen Jiu and blew up the mountain directly.
Of course, this time she didn't blow up the mountain at the city gate.
Those mountains were reclaimed bit by bit by the people, so she was reluctant to blow them up.
Under Xie Mubai's arrangement, Feng Er and Black Hawk placed the explosives on a barren mountain twenty miles away from Lanyang City.
With the deafening sound of the explosion, the road to Lanyang City was blocked again.
Anyway, there are abundant supplies in the city, so it won’t be a problem even if the traffic jam lasts until the beginning of next spring, or even until the Chinese New Year.
After hearing the news, the prefect was so angry that he almost cursed in the streets.
"Dig! Send someone to dig right now!" His eyes were red as he roared hysterically, "No matter what, you must clear the road for me!"
Although he wanted to clear the road immediately, the pressure from above was too great and the prefect did not have much time to waste on clearing the road.
Apart from cursing a few times, he could do nothing.
He was furious, but there was laughter and joy in Lanyang City.
"Young Madam, all the food and coal have been distributed as you instructed." Black Hawk stood with his hands hanging down and said respectfully.
Shen Wan listened and nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing Black Hawk being so respectful to Shen Wan, Ling Xiaoxiao felt a little distressed.
"Why are you so reserved?" She immediately tugged at his sleeve and said loudly, "My sister is not a tigress. You don't need to be afraid."
Black Hawk glanced at her and was speechless.
I've known for a long time that this girl is brainless, but I didn't expect her to be this stupid.
As a secret guard, would he dare to be disrespectful to the future young lady?
"Xiaoxiao is right." Shen Wan smiled and looked at Black Hawk, "When you get married in the future, you still have to call me sister."
Call sister?
Upon hearing these two words, Black Hawk felt extremely uncomfortable in every pore of his body.
He thought it would be better to call her Young Madam.
He couldn't accept the fact that he was already old and still had to call a little girl "sister".
"Sister, you are so bad!" Ling Xiaoxiao blushed, and she pulled Shen Wan's sleeve and started to act coquettishly, "I'm still young."
"Besides, I didn't say I wanted to marry him!"
She escaped from her marriage in Miaojiang, so it was not convenient for her to get married at the moment.
"Okay, I won't marry you!" Shen Wan made a face at her and smiled deliberately, "Since you don't want to get married, then I have to act as a matchmaker for Black Hawk."
"You don't know, Black Hawk is very popular in Lanyang City."
"A few days ago, when I went to the pharmacy, a girl asked me about him."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao's face turned pale with anger.
"Who is that girl?" She yelled at Black Hawk with red eyes.
Black Hawk shook his head.
How would he know who it was?
He is aloof by nature and doesn't like to interact with others.
But even so, there are still many girls who are fascinated by his sturdy figure and outstanding skills.
In addition, he is Xie Mubai's confidant, which makes him an even more popular commodity in the marriage market.
Seeing Ling Xiaoxiao getting anxious, Shen Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Aren't you going to marry him?" She covered her mouth and said with a smile, "If you're not going to marry him, then why do you care which girl likes him?"
When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
