Zhang Qi said, "With our garrison, they certainly won't succeed, but they will inevitably suffer casualties."
In battles between two armies, hundreds or thousands of soldiers are killed or wounded, which is something Zhang Qi does not want to see.
Su Jin frowned and asked, "Do you have a map of the military camp's defenses?"
"Yes, but Xu Zhou has already rearranged the defenses of the military camp," Zhang Qi said, bringing over the deployment map.
Su Jin took it and looked at it, then found a high ground on the edge of a military camp.
"Follow me!"
"Should we bring troops?"
"No need, just come with me."
Zhang Qi quickly followed Su Jinxia's steps, and the two arrived at the edge of the military camp, where there was a lookout tower.
Because they were besieged, the enemy dared not hold high ground, so the watchtowers were abandoned and the edges of the camp were left behind.
Su Jin leaped down and stood on the observation platform.
"Danger!" Zhang Qi exclaimed, and quickly flew up after him.
Su Jin didn't care much. Looking around, she could see most of the military camp.
If Xu Zhou wants to break through, he will definitely choose to do so at night. It is already dusk, and he should be gathering his troops and making arrangements after dinner.
From this angle, Su Jin could see a glimpse of the training ground's high platform through the gaps between the houses.
Su Jin closed her eyes slightly, and the power of the Gu Mother was unleashed, amplifying her hearing to its maximum.
Her beautiful dress fluttered without wind, and Zhang Qi slightly shifted her body. The immense power emanating from Su Jin's lower body was chilling.
"Bring me a bow and arrows!" Su Jinxia said softly, her tone chilling, as if foreshadowing death.
Zhang Qi immediately found a bow and arrows and handed them to Su Jinxia. Su Jinxia took the bow and arrows and stood on the watchtower like a statue.
Time seemed to stand still; it felt like a long time had passed, yet also like only a moment. Suddenly, Su Jin moved.
The bow was drawn taut, the arrow nocked, Su Jin opened her eyes wide, her gaze sharp, and the arrow shot out with unstoppable force, flying over layers of houses and arriving at the training ground.
Xu Zhou had just finished his impassioned speech, inspiring the soldiers to fight to the death, when he stepped down from the platform.
Xu Zhou's figure and Su Jinxia's gaze met for only a moment, and then, blood splattered everywhere, and Xu Zhou died from a head explosion.
Zhang Qi had no idea what was going on, who the arrow was aimed at, or whether it hit its target. He caught the bow and arrow that Su Jin threw down, looking completely bewildered.
"Just wait, they'll come and surrender." Su Jin said, then jumped off the observation platform.
Zhang Qi, still somewhat dazed, followed Su Jin back to the camp. They leisurely ate dinner, and then a soldier came to report, "Fan Ping's army has requested to surrender."
Zhang Qi stared in disbelief at Su Jinxia, who gave him a sweet smile.
Zhang Qi felt a chill run down his back.
Zhang Qi put down his chopsticks and rushed out to deal with the situation. When he arrived at the training ground and saw Xu Zhou's mangled body lying on the high platform, a sight too painful to behold, the shock in his heart surged like a tidal wave.
He had witnessed Su Jinxia's prowess before, but Su Jinxia always managed to surpass his expectations time and time again.
Su Jin also stayed in Fanping. Fanping had just been captured, and there were many things to deal with.
The following day, Shen Qianxue sent a letter offering to exchange a city for the lives of three thousand soldiers, and requested the exchange to be made immediately, as soon as possible.
Shen Qianxue's speed impressed Su Jin.
Han Qing didn't say anything, leaving it to Su Jin to decide whether she was willing.
Zhang Qi, however, was unaware of the inside story and thought that they should squeeze Ji Jun for a hefty sum.
But how could Su Jin dare to do that!
Mai Zizi was seriously injured, Fan Ping was lost, and three thousand soldiers were lost. At this moment, Shen Qianxue was like a silent volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.
Once the conflict erupts, Su Jin, the scapegoat, will be the first to be targeted and punished.
Su Jin replied in agreement and immediately went to take over.
The handover location was set at a deserted manor outside the city, and Su Jin thought Shen Qianxue would come.
However, the Ji army only sent one disciple to hand over the goods, as if they were not handing over the lives of three thousand soldiers, but rather buying and selling two pigs.
Shen Qianxue was so arrogant because she was certain that Su Jin would obediently give in!
After the three thousand troops withdrew, Su Jin was so angry that she kicked a pebble on the ground.
She is upright and honest, why should she suffer this injustice!
I must have owed Shen Qianxue something in my past life!
After that, Su Jinxia began to focus on governing Fanping. The people of Fanping had been oppressed by Xu Zhou and his men for many years and deeply resented Xu Zhou and his forces. Therefore, the people quickly accepted Zhuang Jun's governance.
Of course, there are bound to be some troublemakers causing trouble, and Su Jinxia loves them the most. Where there are troublemakers, there are usually countless treasures and fortunes...
Su Jinxia's situation went smoothly, but Shen Qianxue's situation was... dire.
Upon receiving news of Shen Qianxue's defeat at Fanping, the imperial court launched an attack overnight, storming the Ji army's main camp.
However, no one expected that Shen Qianxue would return so quickly.
He led three thousand defeated soldiers in a surprise attack on the enemy camp, and then gathered troops from the rear to surround the imperial army.
The imperial army was immediately in trouble, but they were numerous and powerful. Although they eventually abandoned Yuchuan, they retreated with tens of thousands of troops to Yueyang City, which was behind Yuchuan.
Although Shen Qianxue lost Fan Ping, she gained Yu Chuan, so it wasn't a complete loss.
Inside the Tamagawa Castle, Rokumei finally arrived.
Mai Zizi was already seriously injured, and with the army marching alongside her, her condition was not optimistic.
When Lu Ming met Shen Qianxue, the two didn't even exchange greetings before Shen Qianxue pulled Lu Ming to Mai Zizi's bedside.
Fortunately, Lu Ming had heard about Mai Zizi's situation before he arrived, and immediately gave her a life-saving pill to keep her alive.
Shen Qianxue clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, her worries growing with each passing day. "She has been unconscious for half a month, completely unaware of anything."
Lu Ming first examined the external injuries and found that the medication used was of the best quality and there were no errors.
Next, I took his pulse. It was very weak, indicating severe damage to his internal organs, which would require time to heal.
As for why she didn't wake up, it was because of the head injury.
Problems in the brain are the hardest to cure.
After examining her, Lu Ming looked solemn. He looked up at the anxious Shen Qianxue and said, "Leave her to me. I will use all my knowledge to heal her."
The lack of a definite answer indicates that it is difficult, and Lu Ming cannot guarantee that the patient can be saved.
Shen Qianxue's legs went weak, and she sat down, supporting herself on the edge of the table.
Lu Ming sighed and sat down next to Shen Qianxue. "What happened? Why did I hear that Su Jin seriously injured Zizi?"
Shen Qianxue looked at Mai Zizi's pale face with a sense of helplessness and told Lu Ming what she knew.
For the past two weeks, Shen Qianxue has been busy fighting and hasn't had a chance to sleep. So all he knows is what happened back then, and nothing more.
Lu Ming bit his lip and pondered, "In other words, you didn't see that the person who fell was Zizi, but when you found Mai Zizi, her clothes and sword were the same."
