Because of the tiger's guidance, they didn't encounter any wild animals along the way. When they reached a safe place, the tiger stopped and roared at Zhao Chenhai:
"Awoo!"
This is it. This is my territory for the time being. You can borrow it for a while!
"Thank you, Brother Tiger!"
Zhao Chenhai thanked the tiger gratefully and then relayed the tiger's words to his second uncle verbatim.
Zhao Yingfeng was relieved to hear this, thanked the tiger, and then began to arrange other matters.
The tiger didn't care about the two-legged creatures' thanks. After bringing the people into its territory, it said something to the child and disappeared in a few leaps.
Before Zhao Chenhai could even speak, it had vanished!
Zhao Chenhai pouted, disappointed, and found a place to sit down. Anyway, it wasn't his business anymore!
After arranging the affairs, Zhao Yingfeng walked over to Zhao Chenhai and said seriously:
"Your second uncle is going out for a while. You stay here and wait, don't go anywhere, understand? I'll leave some people to protect you, and wait for me to come pick you up! Do you hear me?"
"Second Uncle, where are you going?"
Zhao Chenhai seemed to understand something, and his mood became heavy. He nervously grabbed Zhao Yingfeng's sleeve and asked.
"Second Uncle has gone out on business, don't worry!"
Zhao Yingfeng reached out and patted his nephew's head to comfort him.
Now they're at the very last step, and he has to go out and guard it. If the states of Qi and Zhao start fighting, that would be fine, but the worst-case scenario is that if the two sides meet but don't actually fight, then all their previous efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, he had to go out and add fuel to the fire. Besides, Zhao only had 100,000 men, which was no match for Qi's 300,000-strong army.
Qi Jiguang was blinded by anger. If we wait for him to calm down, he might back down.
Knowing that his second uncle was going to take care of important business, Zhao Chenhai quickly pulled out a lot of bottles and jars from his pocket and handed them to his second uncle, saying:
"These are all from my sister. They include sleeping pills, poisons, and some wound medicine and hemostatic medicine. Please take them with you, just in case!"
"Hehe, the children of our Zhao family have grown up. Good, your second uncle will take them all with him! But you should also keep some for yourself for self-defense!"
Zhao Yingfeng looked at the tiny person in front of him, who had actually taken care of his safety, and felt very gratified.
"Second Uncle, even if I'm gone, I can go up the mountain to gather herbs and make some myself. Don't worry, my sister taught me a lot of herbal prescriptions, and I've learned them almost all. I'm not afraid."
Zhao Chenhai did not keep the medicine, but instead spoke to Zhao Yingfeng.
Zhao Yingfeng looked at him and nodded with a smile:
"Okay, your second uncle will listen to you. Alright, your second uncle has to go now. Be careful in the mountains. If you encounter any danger, remember to call Brother Tiger to protect you! Understand? Remember, wait for me to come pick you up, and don't wander off!"
Zhao Yingfeng patted Zhao Chenhai on the shoulder and gave him some final words of advice.
"Okay, Second Uncle, I'll remember!"
Zhao Chenhai nodded and made his promise.
Finally, Zhao Yingfeng left with ninety elite soldiers, lightly armed. Originally, Zhao Yingfeng wanted to leave more people to protect Zhao Chenhai, but the kid refused, saying that with the tiger protecting him, no one could hurt him.
After some haggling, only ten soldiers were left, all to guard the luggage and supplies.
After Zhao Yingfeng descended the mountain, he saw that the Zhao army of 100,000 had bypassed Baiqiu Mountain and stopped two kilometers north of Chushui County.
The Qi army camp is located ten kilometers south of Chushui County. Since they have now occupied Chushui County, it is now under their control.
With the Zhao state blocking the entrance, how could the Qi general not know?
"Good! I haven't even settled accounts with him yet, and he's already come looking for me. This time, I, the general, will make sure he doesn't leave alive! Men, immediately muster 100,000 troops, let's go and meet this Qi Jiguang."
The Qi general, thinking of the humiliation he had suffered, was instantly enraged and, without the slightest hesitation, wished he could kill them immediately.
His body was ruined. Although he hadn't had any accidents these past two nights, he didn't know if the person behind him had gotten tired of him or had other plans. He needed to hurry up and recover from his injuries.
Although his external injuries had healed considerably in the past two days, he couldn't control his bowel movements, which would leak out from time to time, making the whole tent smell bad.
How could a general of the dignified Qi state tolerate such humiliation? It was all done by Qi Jiguang, it was all his doing!!
"yes!"
Two troop formations, totaling 200,000 troops, slowly gathered one kilometer away from Chushui County. The area outside Chushui County was instantly surrounded. As a result, there were no civilians left in Chushui County; it was now filled with Qi soldiers.
The generals faced off, both appearing unstoppable, as if a fight was about to break out at any moment, yet neither moved.
Because they are all waiting, waiting for someone to make the first move.
"Qi Jiguang, you little brat! I haven't provoked you at all, yet you dare to attack me, and with such despicable means! You're asking for it! Today, I'll make sure you never leave alive!"
General Zhou Pu of Qi glared fiercely at the person opposite him, shouting through gritted teeth. He couldn't possibly reveal the specifics of what he was talking about in front of 200,000 soldiers from both countries. What about his reputation as a general of Qi?
But even if he doesn't say it, it doesn't stop him from hating Qi Jiguang and the other man!
"Zhou Pu, this is what I should be saying to you. Our two countries have always kept to themselves, but you have broken the rules this time and dared to mess with me. I will settle this humiliation with you today!"
Qi Jiguang also looked at Zhou Pu across the way with a gloomy expression and shouted, "He is married. He has a wife in Zhao, several concubines, and several children."
