Chapter 50 The Prince Has His Eyes on Miss Xiao
Xuanyuan Jing's expression became serious when he heard this, and he spoke slowly.
"Preparations for war are already underway, and the repair of the city walls and the construction of fortifications have been accelerated. Reinforcements from Yangui City and Qingzhou will arrive soon, and our forces will be greatly strengthened."
"We have already deployed people to defend the main gate, the east gate, and the west gate."
"As for Ayi Na," he paused and looked at Xiao Fuguang.
"Southern Xinjiang witchcraft, I wonder if Miss Xiao's body can still..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fuguang spoke affirmatively.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Fu Guang is in good health and can fight Ayi Na."
"Even if we can't kill her, we can at least hold her back."
Then he asked again.
"Your Majesty, I wonder where Gu Chuan is assigned."
Xuanyuan Jing spoke slowly after hearing this.
"He's leading the defense at the west gate."
He had observed how Gu Chuan killed the enemy. Although this person was not a good person, he was indeed quite capable in fighting. Xiao Fuguang fell silent.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her silent expression and spoke slowly.
"Miss Xiao, regarding Gu Chuan, I will give you an explanation after the war is over. General Xue cannot go to the battlefield, and the Northern Territory is indeed short of a commander."
Xiao Fuguang spoke thoughtfully after hearing this.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. You don't have to worry about me. My conflict with Gu Chuan is a private matter. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we must consider the people of the southern border. It would be best to let Gu Chuan kill more enemies."
As expected of General Xiao's daughter, she really considers the overall situation and knows how to be patient, Xuanyuan Jing continued.
"If Beipan attacks, Miss Xiao will stay by my side."
Xiao Fuguang nodded after hearing this. After all, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang should be with Hao Lianxiong.
"yes."
After looking at her again, Xuanyuan Jing stood up.
"Miss Xiao, have a good rest. I'm going to check on the tower's defenses."
Xiao Fuguang stood up as well.
"Your Majesty, I will go and take a look too."
Xuanyuan Jing looked at her with concern in his eyes when he heard that.
"But you just woke up."
Xiao Fuguang spoke upon hearing this.
"Your Highness, your defense is against Bei Pan, but your Highness has to defend against the Saint of Southern Frontier."
Xuanyuan Jing nodded upon hearing this.
Ordered.
"Come here, prepare the carriage."
Gu Chuan, who came to the city wall to report the defense situation, looked at the carriage parked under the city wall.
There is a war going on here, who would take a carriage at this time?
For some unknown reason, he stopped.
Then Xuanyuan Jing got off the carriage.
Wouldn't it be faster for the Regent to travel on horseback?
Gu Chuan was about to step forward with doubts.
Only then did I notice that the maid who got off the carriage was June.
Could it be that Xiao Fuguang was also in the carriage?
Xuanyuan Jing raised his hand.
"Miss Xiao."
A slender hand stretched out from the carriage and hit Xuanyuan Jing's hand.
Xiao Fuguang got off the carriage with the help of Xuanyuan Jing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xuanyuan Jing glanced at Xiao Fuguang.
"Miss Xiao, I don't like you saying thank you all the time."
What else to say if not thank you?
Xiao Fuguang followed him silently.
"yes."
Gu Chuan secretly looked at the backs of the two men, his eyes full of anger.
"A fickle bitch."
"No wonder she insisted on getting a divorce. It turns out she'd been hooking up with the Regent for a long time."
As if possessed by some inexplicable force, he moved closer, but because he was worried about being discovered by Xuanyuan Jing, he kept a distance from him.
When going up the stairs.
Xiao Fuguang's breathing became heavier, and he could hardly keep up with Xuanyuan Jing's pace.
Damn it, my body is a little weak. I have to do more good deeds and accumulate more merits in the future. Otherwise, if I damage my body like this every time, it might kill me.
Glancing at the regent who had left him behind, Xiao Fuguang pursed his lips. "Why are you walking so fast? Is it so great to know martial arts? Is it so great to have long legs?"
Xuanyuan Jing noticed that she had fallen behind and turned back to reach out to her.
Xiao Fuguang looked at the outstretched hand, his face confused.
Let the Regent help me?
It’s not like I want to die too long.
"Your Majesty, why don't you walk slower?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jing took a step back and reached out to hold her arm.
"Let's go!"
“That’s a lot of steps!”
Gu Chuan, who was hiding behind, saw the two of them going up to the city wall hand in hand.
The hatred in his eyes grew stronger.
"Shameless bitch."
I, Gu Chuan, will never let you return to the imperial city alive and embarrass me.
On the city wall.
Lin Ji, who was preparing for battle, was surprised to see the Regent helping Xiao Fuguang up to the city wall.
this?
This this this?
The prince has taken a fancy to Miss Xiao?
The soldiers who were preparing for battle also noticed this scene.
They all looked at the two of them secretly.
Xiao Fuguang naturally noticed something.
Its ears were slightly red. If someone saw it like this, it would inevitably be treated as a monkey and watched.
Weiwei struggled to break free.
"Your Majesty, we have reached the tower."
"You may release my arm now, thank you, Your Highness."
Xuanyuan Jing let go of her arm upon hearing this.
Lin Ji looked at the two of them and stepped forward to bow.
"Meet the prince."
He spoke respectfully to Xiao Fuguang again.
"Meet Miss Xiao."
Xuanyuan Jing nodded slightly.
"You guys go about your business, while Miss Xiao and I take a look around."
Xiao Fuguang was already walking towards the city wall.
I watched as soldiers were digging trenches inside and outside the city.
"Your Highness, are you planning to continue using fire to defend against the animals in Southern Xinjiang?"
Xuanyuan Jing stood beside her and spoke slowly.
"Trenches are not only for defense against snakes, rats, insects and ants, but also for defense against the enemy."
"I have had another trench dug three inches from the previous one, and have placed sharp weapons inside. If Beipan attacks, this trench will cause them to lose thousands of men."
Xiao Fuguang didn't know anything about the defense on the battlefield, so he walked along the city wall.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Highness, I feel that we need to do more than just defend the city walls."
"Nanjiang already knows that we will use fire defense, I'm afraid they will have some other tricks."
"To be on the safe side, Your Majesty, please gather up all the realgar and lime in the city, mix them together, and sprinkle them on the streets and corners of the houses in the city."
Xuanyuan Jing opened his mouth and gave orders.
"Jiang Yuan, do as Miss Xiao said."
Jiang Yuan took the order and left.
Gu Chuan returned to Ximen.
It was already dark by then.
Gu Chuan returned to the temporary rest room.
A face full of anger.
Suddenly a voice sounded.
"Seeing his wife hooking up with another man, General Gu must be feeling bad!"
Gu Chuan drew his sword in an instant.
"who?"
Ayi Na came out.
"General Gu, Ayi Na wants to discuss a deal with you."
Gu Chuan looked at her warily.
"The Saintess of Southern Border...someone come..."
Aina stretched out her hand and made a gesture to silence her.
"If General Gu really calls someone over, there will be no chance of getting Xiao Fuguang."
Gu Chuan looked at her when he heard that, but the vigilance in his eyes did not disappear.
"what are you up to?"
Aina walked towards him step by step, paced slowly beside him, exuding fragrance, and cast a coquettish glance at Gu Chuan.
"Major General Gu is young and promising, a renowned young general. It's a shame that Xiao Fuguang, as your wife, doesn't know how to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife. Ayi Na feels truly distressed seeing the young general so wronged."
Gu Chuan spoke impatiently.
"When the two armies are at war, you Nanjiang have become Beipan's running dog. Ayi Na, you don't have to sow discord. I, Gu Chuan, know the overall situation."
Aina smiled charmingly when she heard this and spoke.
"General Gu, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Moreover, our Southern Xinjiang can withdraw from this war at any time. By then, General Gu, if you negotiate peace with Southern Xinjiang on the battlefield and repel Bei Pan, and return to your Xuanyuan Imperial City, you will be a key hero, invaluable!"
Gu Chuan looked at her in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
Ayina continued to speak with a smile.
"It's simple. Ayi Na made a deal with General Gu."
"I've fallen for Xuanyuan Jing, and it just so happens that Xiao Fuguang should also belong to you. I'll help you win Xiao Fuguang back, and you'll help me become the Regent Princess. The Saint of Southern Xinjiang will marry into Xuanyuan, and from now on, Southern Xinjiang and Xuanyuan will be friends forever."
