Chapter 309 Collusion
When Nangong Min went to deliver the message, he was still worried and went to each barracks to check it out personally. He did not sleep a wink all night.
As for Prince Jin, when he closed his eyes and waited for death, who knew that things would suddenly take a turn.
After the witch doctor drove away Bai Li's army and even scared away the troops that came to support him (in fact, Bai Li urgently ordered Bai Zongren and Bai Zongrui to retreat), he fed a handful of pills to the aggressive eagle, and only then did he tame it and it slowly fell to the ground.
When King Jin saw the witch doctor, he felt like he had seen a savior. He hurried forward and personally helped him into the bamboo forest.
After the witch doctor had eaten and drunk his fill (the King of Jin gave him his only exclusive meal, a wild rabbit and half a bowl of white wine).
Picking his teeth with one hand, he turned around and told King Jin to give the eagle two live rabbits as a snack.
King Jin lowered his head and ordered Wang Yong to take care of this matter. Now the eagle and the witch doctor were their saviors. Wang Yong took people out hunting without saying a word.
The witch doctor was satisfied to see that his attitude was much better than before.
"I'm not saying this, but how could the supreme King Jin become like this in the short time I was away?"
Prince Jin's face darkened and he didn't know how to respond.
Now he needs help from the witch doctor. If he can't offend him, he should just keep quiet and let him say a few words to vent his emotions. It is better than being destroyed by Bai Li and being wiped out.
"uh-huh,"
The witch doctor coughed twice to hide the smug look in his eyes, took a sip of water, and then said, "How many troops does the King of Jin have now?"
Speaking of this, King Jin's face froze.
"After today's battle, there are still about 30,000."
"What? You brought 80,000 soldiers with you, and now only this many are left?!"
"Do you think I was thinking that? You saw it all just now. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't be able to protect these tens of thousands of soldiers. My entire army would be wiped out!"
"Alas! Actually, it's not your fault, it's just that Bai Li is too powerful.
You say, a girl who is only in her teens, where did she learn the skills to become omnipotent?"
"You mean, there's something strange about her?"
"I don't know what's so weird about her. I only know she's more powerful than me. I guess she must have learned some black magic somewhere."
"That makes her even more difficult to deal with.
Is there nothing we can do to her?"
"It's not that I don't have any, it's just that..."
"What is the method? Tell me!"
In his desperation, King Jin raised his voice. The witch doctor's face darkened, he picked up the teacup and drank water, then kept silent.
The King of Jin secretly gritted his teeth, forced a smile that was barely better than tears, and said in a low voice, "You and I are in the same boat. If there is a way to resolve this predicament, please enlighten me, witch doctor!"
The witch doctor felt a little relieved when he saw that he was humble and had a flattering attitude.
The person who acted superior in front of him before is now as well-behaved as a grandson in front of him. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: What a reversal of fortune, it's his turn today.
But he knew clearly in his heart that the King of Jin was being so humble because he had something to ask of him.
If you help him defeat Bai Li, he will immediately return to his previous arrogant look!
laugh!
What an idiot, how dare you shout in front of him.
If it weren't for his master's great cause, he wouldn't be so servile and put up with his bully!
The witch doctor put on airs before speaking: "Bai Li is difficult to deal with. It's best to win him over."
"To win over? Haven't you tried that before?"
The King of Jin was furious when he thought of this. He had gone to the Great Zhou to plot against Bai Li but failed, and she used this as an excuse to raise an army to attack Simon in the west. He didn't even dare to let the ministers in the court know what he had done!
“You were just calculating before, not really asking for marriage.
That's why she's so disgusted. Look at the Third Prince of Meng. Although Bai Li didn't agree to his marriage proposal, she still greeted him with a smile. Isn't that much better than treating you?"
Prince Jin's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The witch doctor didn't say that at the beginning. It was the witch doctor's bad idea to drug her and make her lose her memory. Now he blamed him!
The witch doctor realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurried to make amends.
"I didn't think it through at the time, and I only recently slowly realized this truth."
"You can't coax a woman; you have to use your sincerity to influence her. Only then will she willingly commit herself to you and obey you."
"She's already engaged to Nangong Min, and she hates me even more. What's the point of saying this now?"
"Why not think about how to deal with her!"
"To deal with her, we must find out the evil magic she has learned."
"Where can we find her? She'll kill us before we even find her!"
Although King Jin did not want to say discouraging words, the facts were before him.
"Prince Jin, don't be discouraged. We now have the Great Eagle, and I also have a unique hidden weapon. I believe Bai Li won't dare to act rashly.
We just need to hold out until the 200,000-man army arrives, then we can capture Qinzhou and destroy her!"
"This is the only way we can do right now. The army has long been out of food and fodder, and now both men and horses are surviving on wild vegetables and weeds. Life is truly miserable!"
"Won't the gates of these three cities, Qiangzhou, Chizhou, and Qinzhou, be opened?"
"The city gates are open to make it easier for people outside the city to make a living, but we can't get in?"
The witch doctor looked at King Jin as if he were an idiot.
"We can't get in. Tell our soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians and enter the city!"
"No, we've tried everything. Our people have been identified and thrown into jail."
"How were they discovered?"
The witch doctor thought about it and wondered how he could be discovered when he just went to the city to buy food.
"After entering the city, they were discovered before they could even reach the city walls to set up defenses!"
The witch doctor wanted to roll his eyes. You can't even get close to the city wall, and you want to attack from inside and outside?
Don't overestimate your abilities!
"What I mean is, now that we're out of food, we can disguise ourselves as ordinary people and go into the city to buy food!"
"They won't stop ordinary people from going into the city to buy food, right?"
"If that doesn't work, let's capture a few locals and ask them to come into the city to help buy food. Otherwise, we'll kill his entire family and see if they help us."
"That's great! Why didn't I think of it before? It's about the money to buy food..."
"Don't tell me you don't have enough money to buy food?"
The King of Jin was dissatisfied and said, "Who goes to war and carries so much silver?"
Yes, they also rob the rich and the common people.
He had never carried money with him before. Wherever he needed something, he would either rob it or just take it and leave. Those lowly vendors didn't even dare to say a word.
If anyone dared to say anything, he would chop off his head with a knife.
In his eyes, those lives were like ants. He chopped them down and still felt that it was dirtying his knife.
But it’s not possible now. Qinzhou is Bai Li’s territory. If he goes into the city to steal things, he will definitely be seeking death.
He has thought about going into the city to steal food, but he just doesn't dare.
The witch doctor's eyes darkened. They all said that Prince Jin was cold-blooded and cruel, and it was true.
