A large amount of blood immediately seeped out of Bai Hengqiu's snow-white clothes.
General Lin was also a martial artist, and he used his power with great force. The whip not only caused superficial injuries, but also hurt Bai Hengqiu's internal organs.
He couldn't help but cough up some blood.
"I just feel sad for them. Having a father and husband like you. No, having relatives and friends like you, the people around you must be living in hell, right? Look at yourself now, you're no different from a monster." Bai Hengqiu licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his smile full of sarcasm.
"If Junior Sister were still alive and saw you like this, she wouldn't make such a mistake."
General Lin was not angry either. He was now confident of victory.
Having experienced great joy and great sorrow in life not long ago, he really didn't care about such provocative words at the moment.
On the other side, the news had not yet reached Qinzhou City.
The latest chapter of this novel will be published on 6>@/9 Book# Bar. Please go to 6>@/9 Book# Bar to read it!
However, there are many places, especially those related to the military, which are difficult for ordinary people to enter, let alone measure and explore.
Lin Jiuxi shook his head in denial, saying, "I don't think it's appropriate. A certain Emperor Taizu once said that we should not fight an unprepared war."
Ouyang Che was very disdainful of this, thinking that she was just pretending. He wanted to mock Lin Jiuxi and show off his intelligence in front of Nangong Jing, so he deliberately said: "The drought in Hezhou has caused a total crop failure for several months, and countless refugees have fled everywhere. This is a good time! Hezhou is unstable, we can take the opportunity to take it down in one fell swoop, and then Hezhou will become our best logistics battlefield. In my opinion, the sooner things happen, the better."
"I think you should take care of yourself. His Majesty has ordered that you will be cut into pieces on the altar in fifteen days as a gift to the ancestors and the gods." General Lin sneered and threw the whip aside, saying to the jailer, "Fifteen days, don't kill him, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty."
But Lin Jiuxi really couldn't stand these words, "Since you have never been a woman, you can speak for women? Then your business is really extensive. Can you help translate a few sentences when you hear a dog barking one day?"
But he refused to lose face no matter what.
Nangong Jing glared at her and touched Lin Jiuxi's back, trying to comfort her not to lose her temper.
"Ouyang, she is my princess, you should show her some respect."
With the emperor's order, the news that Bai Hengqiu was stigmatized and would be beheaded soon spread quickly throughout Nanzhao.
"Oh, it seems that Lord Ouyang has been a woman, otherwise how would he know what women are like? And from your affirmative tone, this is not your first time being a woman, right?" Lin Jiuxi asked back lightly.
The map was fully unfolded, and Lin Jiuxi looked carefully at the military distribution inside, focused and serious.
"You are sharp-tongued, unvirtuous and unfilial." Ouyang Che was so angry that his face turned red. He raised his head deliberately, pretending to say "I won't bother with you."
Even Lin Jiuxi, who was beside Nangong Jing, became interested and leaned over to take a look.
Ouyang Che was an extreme male chauvinist. Seeing Lin Jiuxi following Nangong Jing, it was difficult for him to stop him.
Ouyang Che was still unconvinced: "That's how it is. How can a woman like her understand a map? She needs a sedan chair to walk outside. I'm afraid she may not know any place except her own home. If I ask her to look at the map, she might tell others about it. Women are like this."
"Ouyang Che, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nangong Jing heard that he was targeting Lin Jiuxi, so he frowned and warned him.
"Even if you have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years and read thousands or tens of thousands of books, there will always be things you don't know. Does not knowing mean that it doesn't exist? Is what you see the whole world?" These words were of course said by Emperor Taizu, but in a different dynasty.
He sneered and said, "This thing is useless. We have paid for it with countless blood. It is different from those sour and ugly paintings made by scholars. It is not used to please some delicate lady."
"Your Highness, come and have a look. This is the new map they got. It also includes border defenses. It's a good thing." Ouyang Che said excitedly when he saw Nangong Jing coming over.
Bai Hengqiu vomited another large mouthful of blood.
He slowly swung out another whip, and when the whip came into contact with the flesh, there was a loud snapping sound.
Lin Jiuxi also rolled his eyes and ignored him.
But seeing Lin Jiuxi's hands, white and soft, placed on the rough gray map, it really seemed a bit out of place.
In an era without satellites and helicopters, if you wanted accurate maps, you had to rely on manpower to explore.
"I don't know if Princess Duan has any advice since she has watched it so carefully?"
Lin Jiuxi clearly rolled his eyes in front of him, and he didn't say anything, but he insisted on coming over to provoke him.
So he was right, it is indeed a good thing to have a map like this with border defense.
"Don't talk nonsense! Who has ever been a woman? Only women like you are so mean and petty. You don't even want to listen to the truth from others and you even want to make sarcastic remarks." Ouyang Che was so angry that he screamed.
The jailer immediately understood what General Lin meant. As long as he didn't kill him, everything else would be fine.
Lin Jiuxi added: "Even if you haven't heard of this saying, you must have heard of it, right? If you haven't even heard of this, I think you should start studying again from the beginning, and don't keep saying you are well-read, which makes people laugh."
"You..." Ouyang Che gritted his teeth in anger. "Other places do need food and grass first, but this is Hezhou! Do you know what Hezhou produces the most?"
"I don't know. But what I know is that the most abundant thing in Hezhou is definitely not the food and fodder you are talking about. If there were more food and fodder in Hezhou, do you think there would be so many refugees?" It was because they could no longer survive in Hezhou that they were forced to flee their homeland.
"Humph, what do you know? The reason why the people of Hezhou can't survive is not because there is not enough food and grass, but because all the food and grass have been concentrated and occupied by those local tyrants. The people have nothing to eat. It's not because there is no food here, do you understand?" Ouyang Che regained his arrogance.
Nangong Jing stood aside and saw the two of them quarreling. He also knew that both of them were unwilling to admit defeat and could not do anything to each other, so he was too lazy to persuade them. Although they had such personalities, they were not bad people. Maybe they could get to know each other better through quarreling.
