Chapter 411: Bath, wasted
The two countries negotiated with each other, engaged in a heated exchange of words.
Ultimately failed.
Yuwenjie is dead.
Just as he said, the Heavenly Kingdom sent Yuwen Jie's younger brother, who launched a fierce attack on the State of Xu on the day he arrived.
Fortunately, Jiusu was prepared.
However, the city gate was smashed, and the Heavenly Kingdom soldiers were unable to capture it after a long siege and had to retreat.
Just as Xu Qihuai was discussing important matters with them, the soldier guarding Xu Cairong came to report: "Prince, something happened. I went in to deliver food and found that the prince had committed suicide."
Xu Qihuai's heart suddenly sank.
After a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "Is he dead?"
The soldier said, "No, it's just a wound on the neck."
"Injured?" Xu Qihuai sneered, "His foolish actions have caused the destruction of the homes of the people of the Five Cities. His crimes are heinous. Even if he committed suicide, it would be difficult to wash away his sins!"
The letter he wrote to his father.
I haven't received a reply yet.
As a result, he was unable to deal with Xu Cairong, but if he didn't, everyone would be dissatisfied.
"He doesn't dare to really die, just make sure he doesn't get away."
The soldiers took orders and left.
The tent curtains fell, dimming the light inside.
Xu Qihuai let out a breath, leaned against the wooden chair and slumped down. He looked at the map, his mind no longer interested. He waved his hand and asked the other soldiers who dared not speak to leave.
"Master Jiang, please stay."
At this time, Jiang Jing and Jiusu exchanged glances.
Jiusu said softly: "Drink less."
In the tent, Xu Qihuai took out some good wine, poured himself three cups, and gulped them down as if to suppress the depression in his heart. He drank too fast and choked, causing the wine to spill everywhere.
“Ahem…”
Jiang Jing pulled a tissue from his sleeve and handed it over. "Your Highness, the soldiers in the army are on your side. You don't have to worry."
Xu Qihuai touched the soft tissue, and his eyes gradually became moist.
"Jiang Jing, you know that Father has always..."
The man interrupted the prince, looked at him calmly, and said word by word, "The prince has lost the support of the people and the army, and will soon lose the support of Your Majesty as well."
He picked up the wine jug.
He flicked his sleeves and poured the sake into the celadon cup.
Jiang Jing said respectfully, "My wife is very strict, so I will only drink with you. This trip has been a complete success. If you are calm and composed, you will be the future emperor."
The look in Xu Qihuai's eyes became more determined.
He stopped drinking to drown his sorrows and let Jiang Jing go to accompany his wife. He wiped the wine off the table, put the map of heaven back on it, and studied Yuwen Yingtian's tactics.
At night, the military camp was still lit with lights.
Jiusu finished her bath, her hair scattered casually. She looked at the edge of the bed, a little surprised: "I thought you would drink with the prince until midnight, so you took a bath first."
"Yeah." Jiang Jing untied his outer robe and threw it on the shelf.
Ah Su was only wearing a black short-sleeved pajamas, which was much bolder than the middle clothes of their time. For some reason, Ah Su's figure seemed to be getting better and better.
He said.
"I'll go wash it."
The simply built bathroom, separated only by a curtain, was now filled with thick steam. He simply showered, his shirt hanging loosely on his body.
The soft bedding collapsed in an instant.
She felt his back was as hot as a furnace. In this windy desert, it was her favorite place to touch. The man's strong and powerful shoulders kept shaking up and down in front of her eyes.
The pajamas on the ground were intertwined, one white and one black.
The shower was in vain.
The next day, when the horn sounded, Jiusu opened his eyes. Thinking that he had slept so soundly here, he felt a little panic, and the place beside him had already become cold.
[Congratulations to the host for passing the 'Worship the God of Wealth' and obtaining 1000 insecticides and 1000 detoxification pills]
She hurriedly put on her clothes and went out.
Looking at the rolling yellow sand kicked up by the cavalry, she asked, "Where's Ajing?"
Ming Heng clasped his fists and said, "A large number of terrifying giant spiders appeared in the outer city. An incense stick ago, the young master went to check it out. They must be poisonous spiders released by the Kingdom of Heaven."
I dare not delay.
"Let's go and take a look."
Standing on the city wall, looking at the vast black spiders, Jiusu rubbed his eyebrows and felt like he was about to have claustrophobia. Even standing on a high place was not safe.
It seemed that the spider would crawl onto my body in the next second.
Fortunately, the God of Wealth gave a secret weapon.
She came down from the city wall, came to the tent alone, and spent a huge amount of money to buy protective clothing.
【Gold Leaf-50】
He also exchanged the insecticide and antidote pills.
"Ming Heng! Gather two thousand soldiers, put on protective clothing, wear insecticide and antidote, and head to the battlefield. You stand on the city wall and sound the drum to withdraw!"
The spider's venom was extremely strong, and many soldiers were bitten to death.
Bai Luoxue kept backing away, her arms shaking with fear. She was not afraid of killing the enemy, but these poisonous spiders were really scary. As long as someone was poisoned, the spiders would crawl on their body in large numbers and bite them non-stop.
"What should I do? There are more and more spiders. I can't kill them all with fire."
It seemed as if there was a thick layer of armor on his body.
At this time, Ming Heng on the city wall ordered people to beat the gong.
Xu Qihuai asked, "Why is there a call to call back the troops?"
"It must be Ah Su's signal." Jiang Jing burned a row of spiders with a torch and said to the prince, "Let's go back to the city first. If we delay any longer, our entire army will be wiped out."
As they ran back to the city.
Soldiers wearing protective clothing rushed out carrying pesticides.
Xu Qihuai raised the corner of his mouth and patted Jiang Jing on the shoulder: "I knew she had a way! Brother, I'm so lucky to know you! When I go back, Jiusu will be the first to do it."
Jiang Jing's lips curled up.
He stopped a soldier and asked for protective clothing.
"Your Highness, please go back and rest first. I will go and help you."
As Bai Luoxue retreated, she was bitten by a spider. Her head was spinning. Was she going to die? She leaned against the city wall and slowly slid down. She knew she was going to die.
Don't drag others down.
"Wow..."
Thinking of being eaten by spiders, I cried in pain.
Jiusu pinched her jaw and fed her the antidote, "You're not dead, are you? If you're dead, the antidote would be wasted."
Bai Luoxue regained consciousness. Fearing she would be buried, she waved her hands and said, "Not dead, not dead."
Watching Jiusu stride away.
She reached out to stop him, but fell to the ground.
"Don't go, it's dangerous."
"Go back." Jiusu pulled her up with one hand and pushed her towards the city. "This medicine is very pungent."
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The insecticide was sprayed, and most of the spiders in front of him disappeared instantly. The smell of the medicine kept spreading in the air, and the spiders slowed down. They couldn't climb up the protective suits because they were too slippery.
Half an hour of effort.
The spider has begun to turn around.
The insecticide given by the God of Wealth has no effect on the human body.
Jiusu took off his hood and took two breaths secretly.
She lowered her head and looked at the spider corpse under her feet, and her whole body went numb.
"Huh."
The next second, a pair of big hands grabbed my waist.
Jiusu soared into the air.
Jiang Jing said: "Don't be afraid, I will carry you back."
Then, he looked to the side.
"Clean up the bodies."
Jiusu pressed Jiang Jing's shoulders and said, "Put the spider corpse in a bag. I can use it."
