"It's true! This humble general is not lying. Qin Yue Zhao really is flying in the sky, and her shoes can even breathe fire. Prince, we have lost more than three thousand warhorses in this battle..."
Before he could finish speaking, Heggie's expression changed drastically, and he kicked him hard.
"Shut up! Get out of here and kill all those useless spies!"
If this were to be confirmed, the Third Prince of Wei would certainly no longer cooperate with the Northern Barbarians; he could not bear to see such an outcome.
The deputy general was kicked to the ground and scrambled out of the room.
Once the camp was quiet again, Heji looked at Wei Ping'an with a fake smile: "Third Prince, I didn't think this through, but don't worry, I have a plan. Third Prince, please rest assured."
Wei Ping'an, however, remained expressionless.
"What countermeasures? I think you're just stalling for time..."
Suddenly, his lieutenant rushed in, looking flustered.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has sent a message from afar, saying that a plague has broken out in the Great Wei, and he requests that you return to the city immediately!"
A plague has broken out in the Great Wei?
Wei Ping'an's voice suddenly turned serious: "What exactly happened?"
The lieutenant glanced at Heji, his eyes filled with malice, and said, "This humble general does not know, but the letter said that not long ago, many northern barbarian beggars and refugees suddenly appeared in the Great Wei. Since these people entered the city, a plague has broken out."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ping'an was utterly enraged.
"Heji, why has my Great Wei been infected with the plague? You must give me an explanation today, or my Great Wei will be at odds with you Northern Barbarians!"
Hegi was startled by the shout.
"What does the Third Prince mean by this? What does the plague in Great Wei have to do with me? I did not send any Great Wei soldiers to Wei."
"Heh, wasn't it you who sent the wounded soldiers to Great Wei?"
Wei Ping'an gritted his teeth and sneered: "Once I return and investigate, if it is indeed you Northern Barbarians who caused the plague outbreak in Great Wei, I will be your sworn enemy!"
Heji was angry, but he suppressed his anger because he knew he couldn't afford to clash with Wei at this time.
"Third Prince, please don't be in a hurry. No matter what the reason, I have a plague cure here. Please take it back with you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wei Ping'an snorted coldly, turned around, and walked out of the tent.
Once the two figures had completely disappeared from sight, Heji hurriedly shouted to his deputy, "Zhuocheng, write a letter to the Prince of Daqian and ask him when he will finally take action against Qin Yuezhao!"
——
Liangcheng, at the entrance of the main city gate.
Qin Yue Zhao returned to the city wearing a flight suit, and Huo Ting Ye and the city guards surrounded her.
"Your Highness, we were all terribly worried when we heard you fell off the cliff!"
"Yes, when I heard you fell off the cliff, I wanted nothing more than to get out of the city immediately! If it weren't for General Huo stopping me, I..."
Seeing that these people were not getting to the point, someone rushed up to them.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'get out of the way!' Your Highness, what kind of magical artifact is this? It's practically comparable to the armored vehicle General Huo drives."
"Yes, Your Highness, what is this? It's amazing!"
Qin Yue Zhao smiled and explained to everyone.
"This is called the Flying Machine. It's an armored machine that can not only fly, but also fire 30,000 marbles."
"The gods said it was mainly used for aerial combat, and its design was inspired by American science fiction movies... Although I don't understand it, this thing is indeed powerful. It forced back tens of thousands of Northern Barbarian troops as soon as it appeared."
Someone screamed excitedly.
"It scared away tens of thousands of Northern Barbarian troops? This is truly a divine weapon! If we could pray to the gods to bestow more, wouldn't we be able to directly attack the Northern Barbarian army's camp?!"
Huo Tingye also came up, his face full of surprise.
"Is what Your Highness said true? Then can you use this to fly back to the capital?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at them.
Yes, they've been away from Beijing for so long, and many of their families are still in Kyoto. We don't know how they are doing.
Qin Yuezhao shook her head.
"The gods say that this aircraft is not yet perfect and needs to be equipped with special batteries. Kyoto is still too far away. We have to wait until the gods have perfected the design before we can consider these things."
