Tuoba Wu's eyes twitched on the beacon tower, and he seemed to feel a sense of familiarity.
The two people standing on the hill also twitched their lips.
"Second brother also thinks Third sister-in-law is interesting?"
Chu Jingxun regained his gentle smile and said softly, "Ninth brother, you should still care about yourself. You are a captain in the army."
Chu Jingyue shrugged and said, "Everyone knows that this prince is uneducated and unskilled. It is not impossible for him to escape from the battlefield."
Chu Jingxun smiled.
The young Xiqi general was so angry that his face turned red. "I...you...you, as a woman, actually said such vulgar words."
Chen Jingxi: "You look down on women? Aren't you born of a woman? Oh, yes, you were born of a dog bitch. Saying someone was born of a dog is an insult to dogs. You are not a human, not an animal, what are you? Get out of here!"
Everyone laughed...
"You...you..." The young general Xiqi spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse.
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the princess, long live the princess..."
When the Xiqi soldiers heard the shouts, they all turned their eyes to Tuoba Wu.
Tuoba Wu walked up to the front of the army and sneered, "They're just some vulgar women saying dirty words. Why should we be afraid?"
The soldiers around him: But Princess Su’s words can boost morale.
Tuoba Wu raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Kill them for me. For each head, I will give you ten taels of silver. If you kill more than a thousand people, I will make you a marquis of ten thousand households and give you a thousand taels of gold."
As soon as this order came out, the soldiers on his side's eyes lit up and their faces showed excitement.
Many people were secretly calculating: killing one person would earn ten taels of silver, and if they killed a few more, they would make a fortune.
Looking at the suddenly rising morale on the other side, Chen Jingxi curled her lips into a mocking smile. She said loudly and bluntly, "You're talking about ten taels of silver for killing one person. You sound like you really want to. Tuoba Wu, do you have that much money? I remember when you kidnapped my princess, you couldn't even bear to pay a dozen taels for food. We have an army of over one hundred thousand here. Even if you sell yourself, it wouldn't be enough to pay us."
"Forehead……"
As soon as Chen Jingxi finished speaking, the Xiqi soldiers were stunned, and at the same time they looked at Tuoba Wu with eyes full of suspicion and distrust.
Although they believed that the Fifth Prince had always been trustworthy, they had to admit that what Princess Su said did make some sense. After all, Xiqi was far less powerful and wealthy than Daxia.
Seeing this, Chen Jingxi continued loudly, "You still want to learn how to use money to motivate soldiers like me? Do you have the money? You can't learn it even if you do. I reward them a hundred taels of silver for killing one person, and you expect them to fight for you for just ten taels! I've never seen such a shameless person!"
Tuoba Wu was so angry that his face turned red, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. "What nonsense are you talking about? Is it really like what you said? What do you mean I won't pay for the more than ten taels of food? Didn't I pay? Besides, they are all soldiers of Xiqi. Fighting in the battlefield and killing the enemy is a natural thing. What do you mean they are working for me? It's simply nonsense."
"Are you angry because I hit a sore spot? You did pay, but it wasn't me who said I'd use my jewelry to pay for the meal, and you felt it was too embarrassing, so you stingily took out those few taels of silver. How could Fifth Prince have forgotten? Do you want me to recall it for you?"
"Chen Jingxi, you damned woman, I will cut you into pieces."
"You've said this countless times, I'm tired of hearing it. Can't you say something new? Back then, dozens of you couldn't do anything to me, what can you do to me now? Come and hit me if you have the guts? Come on!" Chen Jingxi said in a cheeky tone.
"You...you just wait!"
"I'll just stand here and wait for you. How was the Wuzhou prison where the Fifth Prince was originally staying?"
When Wuzhou was mentioned, Tuoba Wu was furious. He, a prince of a country, was mistaken for a spy and beaten up. "Kill him! Kill him for me!"
Chen Jingxi calmly took the arrow handed to him by Han Yu and shot it straight at Tuoba Wu.
Tuoba Wu raised an eyebrow, not taking it seriously, and reached out to catch the arrow. However, the next second, his expression suddenly changed, and veins popped on his forehead. The hand holding the arrow felt a foreign object, sticky and sticky, with an unpleasant smell.
Chen Jingxi watched from afar as Tuoba Wu caught the arrow and laughed.
She knew very well that it was almost impossible for her to hit Tuoba Wu with her archery skills. However, she was betting that Tuoba Wu would catch the arrow.
Tuoba Wu broke the arrow and took the note off the feather. It read: "A surprise for you. Please eat shit."
When Tuoba Wu saw these words, his face instantly twisted and turned slightly blue.
On this side of the city wall, the black-armored guards drew their bows and shot three arrows at the same time without seeming to need to aim, accurately hitting the attackers. Soon, corpses piled up like a mountain under the city wall.
Pang Dai frowned, his eyes fixed on the chaotic battlefield, watching the black warriors on the city wall who seemed to be never tired and kept shooting down the enemies who tried to climb up the city wall.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect that these 20,000 Black Armored Guards would be so difficult to deal with. Should we think of a solution?" Pang Dai asked in a low voice.
"retreat."
"Ah!" Pang Dai was stunned, not understanding how such a decision could be made.
Tuoba Wu glanced over and asked, "Do you have any objection?"
"No! I don't!" Pang Dai immediately shook his head.
Tuoba Wu then said, "Qingzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we continue to fight like this, we will probably both suffer losses. Moreover, Qingzhou is the granary of the northwest. They can replenish food and weapons at any time. We can't afford to waste time."
In less than an hour, Xiqi sounded the retreat. Looking at the retreating Xiqi army, the people on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jingxi turned around and said to Ma Yu, "Pass the order down, and put the entire army on alert."
"?" Ma Yu raised an eyebrow in confusion. Chen Jingxi said calmly, "Xi Qi's sudden withdrawal might be a trick."
After this battle, Tuoba Wu did not bring his troops again, but divided his troops into three groups, one heading southeast and the other heading southwest.
"Xier, are you thinking about Xiqi's intention of dividing its troops into three groups?" Zhou Peichuan asked.
Chen Jingxi shook her head. "I was thinking about that bastard Chu Jinghuai. He said he'd be back in seven days, and it's already been ten days. Men really can't be trusted. I can only treat him as bullshit."
"Your Highness, the prince is back." A soldier came hurriedly with a happy face.
Chen Jingxi was startled and asked, "What did you say?"
The soldier raised his head and shouted, "News just came from the front that the prince has returned with his army."
"The prince is back." Chen Jingxi's face was full of joy.
Zhou Peichuan: “?” It turns out that women are fickle.
