Zhao He and Wang Nei Shi almost vomited for a moment. They were not people who had never seen blood before, and they had even taken more than one life. Especially Zhao He, it was common for him to kill people with just a word.
But the scene before them still made the two of them shudder, and Mr. Shadow kept making a humming sound, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead like rain.
The protruding eyeballs were full of bloodshot, but the movement of his hands did not stop. After pulling apart the flesh and blood and churning it around for a while, he finally took out an iron lump the size of a child's finger.
The man was held in front of his eyes, and he actually laughed while biting the rag.
Then he spat out the rag with a "puff".
He laughed and said, "This is it, this is the hidden weapon used by your emperor.
Such a small thing actually hurt me like this!
One day, I will smash it into your emperor's eyes!"
The two of them didn't speak for a long time, not knowing what to say.
After a while, I heard someone knocking on the door outside. Judging from the rhythm of the sound, it should be Zheng Hong.
I don’t know how long the other party had been knocking, but neither of them heard it.
"You take care of the sir here."
Zhao He whispered an order to Eunuch Wang, then gathered his thoughts, walked around the hall, and pushed the door open to leave.
Looking outside the door, it was indeed Captain Zheng Hong. He looked a little anxious and had obviously been knocking on the door for a while, but no one inside heard him.
Zhao He's expression changed slightly. He didn't know if the other party had heard the noise inside. Then he tried to keep his expression calm and asked, "I just did a round of boxing in there and worked up a sweat. I didn't hear you knocking on the door. Do you have any new news?"
Zheng Hong was a little surprised to see that his face was pale and sweat was on his forehead. In addition, the other party did not open the door for a long time, so he couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
Hearing what he said, his face immediately relaxed and he said, "I see. When I knocked on the door earlier, neither Your Highness nor the eunuch Wang responded. I was really worried... So you're practicing boxing. Your Highness is truly diligent."
He was secretly wondering, "Why would he practice boxing in the house on such a hot day, instead of in the yard? Besides, other people's faces turn red when they practice boxing, but His Highness's face is so pale. Isn't his body too weak?"
Moreover, he didn't see Wang, the eunuch who usually followed Zhao He like a tail, which made him even more suspicious.
However, he naturally didn't dare to ask too much about this matter. After all, these nobles might have some special hobbies, and maybe they were doing some other exercises with Eunuch Wang just now.
Tsk tsk, it’s not easy for Eunuch Wang either.
Zhao He didn't know what he was thinking, but was afraid that he would see any flaws, so he snorted and said, "What is there to worry about? Isn't this Captain Zheng's territory?
With the captain here, nothing can happen to me.
Or tell me why you came here?"
While saying this, he couldn't help but think of the big hole in the roof and how he was going to cover it up later.
And Mr. Shadow was badly injured, I wonder if anyone has discovered him.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Zheng Hong calling out, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do about this? Your Highness..."
"Um?"
Zhao He didn't hear what he said at all, and was stunned when he heard his question.
Then he said awkwardly, "Well, please tell me again. I'll think about it carefully."
The corner of Zheng Hong's mouth twitched... Well, it seems like I talked for a long time, but this person didn't hear a word.
But he had to respond with a "yes".
Then he said again: "Your Highness, a soldier just came to report that the emperor's troops have engaged the Seventh Prince's people in the Tojobo area.
What should we do now? Should we attack him from both sides?"
Zhao He was shocked when he heard this, and asked with all his strength, "Has the battle already started?
How many troops are there on each side?"
Zheng Hong quickly replied, "Both sides have about the same number of troops, approximately 1,200 each. However, the emperor's troops are more dispersed. Not only are they stationed to guard the prefectural governor's mansion, they also seem to have troops stationed around the right city gate."
Zheng Hong couldn't help but sneer when he said this, "The emperor actually gave the army to a woman to command. It's true that lust has blinded his mind.
What do women know about battle formations? They're actually dividing their forces at a time like this!"
"So my seventh brother has the upper hand?"
Zhao He asked.
Zheng Hong couldn't help but look a little strange when he heard this, "No, the two sides are at a stalemate now."
"Um?"
Zhao He frowned upon hearing this. "Didn't they say that Nan Luoying doesn't understand battle formations and has already committed the cardinal sin of dividing troops before a battle? Why hasn't Adam gained the upper hand yet?"
"this……"
Zheng Hong looked a little embarrassed, and was too embarrassed to say, "I actually just wanted to belittle the enemy and boost the prestige of my own people."
And to be honest, the Seventh Prince may not be the Crown Prince's confidant.
He immediately stammered, "Although Nan Luoying doesn't understand battle formations, she has the advantage of the terrain. She always uses the streets and alleys to divide into countless small groups, forcing His Highness the Seventh Prince to follow suit and divide his troops.
Otherwise, they would be harassed by the enemy's soldiers coming out from all directions, like a pack of wolves.
Moreover, the streets and alleys are narrow, and His Highness the Seventh Prince cannot concentrate his forces even if he wants to.
As for Nan Luoying, there are a large number of native wild soldiers under her command. Your Highness also knows that those native wild soldiers are not good at fighting in formations, but are best at this kind of "chaotic" fighting. Each of them is as flexible as a monkey.
Especially those female native warriors, they are even wilder than female leopards!
Therefore, although the Seventh Prince fought very bravely, he did not achieve any actual results, but instead suffered some losses.
