The next morning, the Qi army had no food or fodder, and Zhou Pu was in a coma due to anger. The atmosphere in the entire camp was very low.

General Xu, whose rank was lower than Zhou Pu's, thought again and decided to retreat from Xia's territory, first to the border of Qi and Xia.

The Xia Kingdom is too weird. Although the previous plan has been going smoothly and they have occupied Chushui County as they wished, strange things have continued to happen since they came in. Now the food and grass have been destroyed and the general is in a coma.

It was still unclear who had committed the crime, and General Xu Zuo was in a coma, so he couldn't make a decision.

He was afraid that if they didn't leave, the remaining 250,000 soldiers would die.

Therefore, General Xu Zuo did not wait for Zhou Pu to wake up, but directly ordered to retreat to the border of Qi State and make plans after sending a message to the emperor.

Zhao Guo was even quicker. He packed up and set out early in the morning and returned to Henghe in Luxi City.

Even though Qi Jiguang sent a letter to Emperor Zhao as fast as he could last night, he was unable to receive the news immediately. Now even the guy who cooked has no work to do, and the cook is also dead.

The food and daily life of more than 50,000 people became a problem, not to mention the lack of food and grass. Even if they went hunting in the mountains, the things in the mountains could not feed so many people.

Qi Jiguang thought about it all night, and finally decided to go back to Zhao State first to prepare supplies and wait for news from Emperor Zhao. He now has no time or energy to find out whether the mastermind behind the scenes is from Xia State.

The most important thing now is to calm the troops and find the truth. If this incident was done by the Xia people, then their move was too cruel and too insidious.

There was no clear purpose for the fight, which first made the two generals lose their morale. When they started fighting, they would be disorganized and only want to kill each other. If it weren't for his quick response, he wouldn't have found anything wrong and wouldn't have killed them.

Or maybe it's not that Zhou Pu is afraid of death. Based on what happened between them, one of them is likely to die here today.

Qi Jiguang rode on his horse and looked back in the direction of Xia State, his eyes full of doubt. When did Xia State have such a smart person?

The Xia country's god of war, Li Xiaochen, was also upright. When they fought, they also used military tactics.

Such a sinister move doesn't seem like his style.

It seems that their understanding of Xia State is still too one-sided, or that Xia State is too deeply hidden.

Zhao Guo's troops walked very fast because they had not eaten breakfast and were walking on an empty stomach.

They all wanted to reach the nearest county town to the Zhao border before noon so that they could buy some food and have a meal.

For a moment, the border of Xia State became peaceful.

Zhao Yingfeng, who was far away in the mountains, had just arrived at the place where they had left the day before yesterday, but he did not see Zhao Chenhai's tiger.

There were only a few soldiers tidying up and cooking.

"Where is that kid Zhao Chenhai?"

Zhao Yingfeng frowned and asked the soldier who was cooking nearby.

"General, you are back. Brother Hu, the fourth son of the Zhao family, has gone up the mountain to hunt! He should be back soon!"

The soldier who was cooking looked up and saw the general coming back, and immediately stood up, saluted, and replied.

"Okay, let's cook. We're all hungry!"

Zhao Yingfeng nodded, "Brother Hu", he was not worried.

Just as the meal was ready, Zhao Chenhai's brother Hu came back.

"Uncle! You're back!"

Zhao Chenhai looked at Zhao Yingfeng with surprise and asked.

"Well, where did you go? Come and have dinner. I guess we can go into the city tonight."

Zhao Yingfeng frowned as he looked at Zhao Chenhai, who was covered in mud, and said.

"I'm going to collect herbs! Uncle, look, there are so many herbs! Uncle, have we entered the city? Have the other two countries returned?"

Zhao Chenhai opened the cloth on his back like presenting a treasure and showed it to Zhao Yingfeng. At first glance, they were indeed medicinal herbs, precious ones at that, such as fifty-year-old ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. Then he curiously asked Zhao Yingfeng about what happened down the mountain.

"Well, it should be soon. Once they leave, we can go to Jibei City. Then I'll take you to see how the fiefdom managed by your sister is doing! Where did you get all these herbs? Why so many?"

Zhao Yingfeng nodded and explained to him, but after seeing the medicinal herbs he mentioned, he was still a little surprised. He pointed at the cloth and asked in disbelief.

Because it contains all kinds of precious medicinal materials, which are rare even in the palace.

"Hehe! These were all found by Brother Tiger. I dug them up and will give them to my sister when I get back!"

Zhao Chenhai carefully sorted the herbs in the cloth and arranged them happily.

"Okay, you dug it, you decide!"

Zhao Yingfeng collected his thoughts, thought that everything had been dug out, and he would accept whatever the child said, so he nodded lovingly and said.

But they didn't know that Lin Yuxin was no longer in the capital, and now Lin Yuxin had entered Luxi City.

Lin Yuxin had been riding in a carriage for more than ten days, and her butt was almost exhausted. As soon as she entered the city of Xiluoxi, she wanted to do it no longer.

Their team disguised themselves as wealthy businessmen from the capital, including Li Xiaochen (rich businessman), Lin Yuxin (rich businessman's wife), Cheng Tinghao (rich businessman's son), Qiu Jingfan (wife's maid), and Wang Yulenghan (rich businessman's concubine).

However, before Leng Han entered Luxi City, he turned and headed towards Jibei City. He went to bring back Lie Yan.

Therefore, there were only a few of them entering the city now. The others were divided into several teams and walked in several different directions, so it was almost impossible for them to run into each other.

"Xiao Fanzi, we are tired. We need to stay in the best guest room. Please arrange it!"

Lin Yuxin and her companions' carriage stopped at the entrance of Lai Fu Restaurant. Lin Yuxin started to act like a demon again and called out to Qiu Jingfan, who was dressed as a maid.

"Yes, Man!"

Qiu Jingfan gritted his teeth and bowed to Lin Yuxin, then turned and entered the restaurant.

"Xinxin has been having fun all the way, give him some face, after all, he will be the emperor in the future."

Li Xiaochen looked at Xinxin with amusement as she acted bossy.

This girl never came back from her journey to tease Qiu Jingfan. She simply took to tormenting him for fun and never stopped along the way.

Qiu Jingfan actually endured it so much. Li Xiaochen was afraid that this kid would release the emperor in the future and take revenge!

Even Wang Yu and Lenghan looked at Qiu Jingfan with sympathy all the way. As the prince of Zhao State, shouldn't he be obedient in front of their princess?

Cheng Tinghao would not say anything, his sister could do whatever she wanted!

"Why? Are you feeling sad?"

Lin Yuxin glanced at him and said in a sarcastic tone.

"What are you talking about, girl?"

Li Xiaochen's face changed, he wanted to bite the girl and spoke without restraint.

"Hey, I'm just kidding, dear husband, don't be angry!"

Seeing her prince’s expression change, Lin Yuxin hurried over to coax him.

Li Xiaochen's complexion looked better then, but he still couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched Lin Yuxin's cheek. The little girl needed a lesson.

After a while, Qiu Jingfan came over, stood beside the carriage, and said respectfully:

"Reply, the room has been booked!"

"So slow, what are you yelling for?!"

Lin Yuxin scolded him, and then got off the carriage with the help of Li Xiaochen.
