The prince's eyes were full of disgust, but he didn't show his disgust towards anyone. There was also a hint of fear, as if the person standing next to him would take his life for no apparent reason.
The power of King Wu disappeared without a trace at this moment, giving people the impression that they need to rest in time, otherwise the impact will be greater, but the eldest sister did not move, and the prince's deputy general and Huang Yi did not dare to step forward. Her identity, Xia Xiao said before.
Xia Xiao was both an insider and an outsider in this mission, so he observed things more carefully and meticulously than usual. He felt that there was something wrong with the prince. Although he pretended to be surprised very well, the caution deep in his eyes was still exposed without enough energy to cover it.
The senior sister can definitely see it, so she asked:
"You cried earlier?"
Facing a prince of a country, the eldest sister's behavior at this time was a bit rude. But the strong are polite, and all rules can be changed because of the strong. Because of the strength, no one dares to say anything, no one dares to scold.
"I didn't expect her to be such a sinister person. I am so disappointed. The military mission that His Majesty entrusted to me was also ruined in my hands. From now on, the Southern Merchants' plan will be slowed down."
The prince covered his face with his trembling hands and sighed with great guilt. But the eldest sister's vitality was still checking it. When there was really no result, he said:
"You no longer have any black energy or demonic power in your body, but because your tendons and veins are damaged, your cultivation speed will be greatly reduced. If you are exposed to that power again, you will explode and die. Be careful."
"No."
The eldest sister's warning was exchanged for the prince's promise, like a child who had done something wrong apologizing in front of the teacher, saying that he would never do it again. But this promise, although sincere and even with some regret, Xia Xiao always felt that he was covering up something.
This drama, true and false, is difficult to distinguish, and it is still going on.
"I have informed the Emperor of Southern Business of this matter. It will be up to him to decide how to deal with you."
"Thank you for your kindness today, Jing Qi is very grateful!"
Wang Jingqi stood up with the help of Madam Jialing and bowed deeply with his wounds. It was dark at night, and his bow was unnecessary, as if he had merged into the darkness instead of facing the blazing light in the brazier.
"We are about to leave. Bye."
"Farewell, my Lord."
Everyone present stood up to show respect. The eldest sister followed Xia Xiao and Azhu, gradually walking away. Azhu looked back at Madam Jialing, but she didn't look at her. She was very worried and looked very haggard. She supported Jingqi, and after he was supported by the deputy general with great fear, she gradually walked towards the Nanshang camp.
Huang Yi was still standing there, watching the three senior sisters disappear into the night, his brows furrowed, somewhat puzzled. In such a hurry, were the existing problems really solved?
The eldest sister had not left yet. She brought Xia Xiao and Azhu to a higher place, where they could see the camps of Nan Shang and Tian Meng.
The forest at night was as quiet as a cemetery, and the darkness was so dark that it made people's hearts flutter. The treetops swayed in the night wind, which was a little cool. But soon, the wind did not stop, but the treetops stopped moving.
The eldest sister and Xia Xiao were standing on the treetops, looking free and easy, like extremely chivalrous knights. Ah Zhu was standing on the side, but she couldn't go up to such a high place, so she might have heard their conversation.
"The relationship between them is probably not simple."
Xia Xiao was the first to speak. That was all he could see, but the senior sister saw more.
"Xia Jingxuan felt like she was sacrificing herself to protect him. She might have been pretending to do so in order to achieve some purpose. The tears Wang Jingqi shed before were not because of pain or panic, but because of Xia Jingxuan. Only when she showed a scary expression before did Wang Jingqi become truly afraid. As for the rest of his grief, perhaps it was all pretended because of her death."
"Big sister, do you mean that there is a love affair between them?"
"You should understand from the lady's expression that even if Xia Jingxuan died, she would not have the chance to be pampered or even get more attention. Instead, she would just wake up."
Ah Zhu's eyes moved slightly, a little disappointed. Wasn't this referring to her? She looked at Xia Xiao, who was concentrating on this matter. He wanted to sort out the complex lines and untie the knots that bound these lines together.
"Nan Shang's ambition is the entire Great Wilderness. If he wants to realize this ambition, he may not be able to do it by himself. But Xia Jingxuan obviously kept him. Is she deliberately making us suspicious of Nan Shang and intensifying more conflicts? Or under the previous circumstances, she had no choice but to take the risk to keep him."
"It's all possible. Those people in the dark hope that the Great Wilderness will be in chaos so that they can reap the benefits. We have to go back and make long-term plans. Maybe we have to send people to Nanshang to stay there for a long time and collect information as before."
“That’s the only way now.”
The academy represents not only itself, but also the defense network formed by the five major forces in the Great Wilderness. Therefore, a country cannot be denied at will, but pressure must be exerted. The eldest sister has informed the Emperor of Nanshang about the prince's matter. The specific content needs to be resolved by themselves and then reported to her. What the lady said before is definitely not comprehensive enough.
At the same time, when the senior sister gave them some space, it was time for the five major forces to hold a meeting. The current environment was worse than they all thought. Xia Jingxuan had said before that the senior sister didn't know whether it was true or not. Even if the vice president was there, she couldn't judge and give such an extreme affirmation of true or false. Therefore, the five major forces needed to express their opinions together.
The matter of the black energy cannot be dealt with carelessly, and it cannot be voted on casually. Therefore, if you are not careful, the entire Great Wilderness will be affected. What's more, now the Demonic Path has also participated.
The Demonic Path existed as long as the Great Wilderness existed, but their appearance was followed by death, and they had never formed a force. But now it seems that they have an organization, but no one knows how big it is.
Unknown factors are hard to guess, and this is one of the things Xia Xiao had been worried about. The two forces coming together are probably not something that can be described as dangerous. That would be a force that would plunge the entire wilderness into turmoil, born in the dark cracks under the light, wanting to swallow up all the light.
Xia Xiao followed the senior sister to stand on the treetops, looking at the Nanshang camp, but they didn't wait for dawn for a long time. Tonight's night was long and terrifying.
“No one ever comes.”
As Xia Xiao was whispering, the eldest sister snapped her fingers, and a piece of peach blossoms suddenly disappeared into the distance.
"No need to wait. If they come, I will sense it."
When he nodded slightly, the light of the talisman array shone above his head, and the three of them left. Huang Yi saw this light, and he knew that they had not left, but since Nan Shang was related to the Black Qi Demonic Path, was he really crazy about wanting to dominate?
"Someone come."
"General."
"Have the reinforcements from the night before returned?"
The soldier raised his head, somewhat puzzled.
"Sir, didn't you ask me to go back?"
"Send a message now, asking them to take all their belongings and set up camp in the jungle behind the mountain today."
"Long-term?"
"right."
"But the jungle behind the mountain is dense, and it's inconvenient to live and eat, and there are many mosquitoes."
"Stop talking nonsense. If the Southern Merchants can do it, so can we. They will attack again. We cannot put our troops out in the open, otherwise they will dispatch more troops. We cannot outmaneuver them, so we should be cunning. Notify them that when they arrive, we will start to move our camp back and clear a two-kilometer area. Also, take out all the crossbows and set them up. We thought the Southern Merchants were too kind."
This sneak attack by Nan Shang undoubtedly made Huang Yi really nervous. With the prince in trouble, it is impossible to start a war in a short time. I believe this incident will also have a great impact on the black cavalry of Nan Shang. Therefore, the fortifications can be put aside for the time being, but the army has not moved, and the food and grass have gone first. There must be a sense of crisis, and countermeasures should be made now so that they can be modified and implemented in the future.
Across the river, the deputy general came to report from Nanshang.
"Your Highness, the talisman formation appeared and they left."
Wang Jingqi nodded, looking a little haggard and his voice was low.
"It doesn't matter whether I leave or not. I have nothing to feel guilty about."
He changed into a loose robe and sat on a chair, waiting, not for another dark demon, but for the imperial edict. He would definitely return to the imperial capital, and he had already thought of an excuse. If Jingxuan took all the responsibility on himself, he would not let her down. This time, Jingxuan would bear all the charges, and he would continue to live, with the goal of annexing the world, and continue to implement his far-reaching revenge.
"lady."
The deputy general saw his wife bringing a bowl of porridge and was about to leave, but the prince held his forehead and said:
"I'll go with you to select the Black Knight."
"General, I will do this kind of thing. I will give you the specific list later."
"The Black Knights are the elite. I will go there myself."
The prince and his wife passed each other, and the latter lowered her head and spoke in a very low voice.
"Do you think I'm a jinx?"
The deputy general didn't dare to speak, and he didn't even dare to move when standing at the door. It was difficult for him to interrupt the prince's family affairs. The prince spoke in a relaxed tone. He always had his own way to deal with his so-called legal wife.
"You are my wife, not a jinx."
"Then why do you dislike me so much?"
The resentment accumulated over the years was only a little tougher in tone. But when the prince looked back at her, she bit her lip again and lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.
The porridge in the bowl was still steaming, but the lady was disappointed. She was easy to coax, just wait for me to come back, no sweet talk, no effort. But would Jingqi say that? The lady hoped that he would say this, just four simple words, and she would not disturb him from working.
The prince stepped forward and spoke in a very low voice, giving his wife the illusion of tenderness. But when he spoke, it was only venomous.
"If you continue to act unreasonably, I will divorce you."
The porridge fell to the ground, which startled the lady. She shrugged her shoulders slightly, and tears suddenly burst out. She knelt down and touched the hot porridge on the ground with a handkerchief, but the prince turned around and left, followed by the deputy general, without saying a word. He didn't know whether the lady didn't know what was good for her or what. She should have understood that Wang Jingqi was a competent prince and a qualified general, but not a good husband, and it was the same before, now and in the future.
The lady didn't dare cry too loudly, so she kept choking with sobs, covering her lips with her hands, feeling so suffocated as if a spear was stuck in her chest.
The tears were hot, flowing down her face, dripping down, and she was disappointed and fruitless. She looked at the clothes on the side with tears in her eyes. There was a knight-like outfit and a dagger, which made her dead heart beat faster. A faint smile of relief appeared on her face. She was dressed neatly, but with red eyes. When she stood up, she looked like she had been humiliated.
Stand up and take a step. The lady's tears are flowing and her smile is crazy. Dagger, dagger, please cut my dirty and lowly skin.
