In just two days, all the soldiers received medical treatment, and the royal city was still sending medicine over.
And brought bad news: the royal city's medicine storehouse was almost empty.
Gu Xin hadn't rested for the past two days, and her eyes were red. She could only silently pray that her brother-in-law could return to Da Zhou safely and bring over a few more boatloads of medicine from Da Zhou. Otherwise, no matter how good her medical skills were or how effective the jade beads were, she might be helpless. A skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.
She probably didn't know that, generally speaking, the things she silently prayed for would come true.
...
On the Yunhai tribe's side, everyone was shocked when they heard that the seventh princess, Ajir, had suffered a defeat.
Didn't the Seventh Princess go to attack the Flowing Sand Kingdom?
Isn't the Flowing Sand Kingdom just a small country with only a few cities? Its military strength is at most 100,000, and the soldiers might even be of varying quality. How could it possibly defeat their invincible Seventh Princess?
At the Seventh Princess's residence, the King and Queen of Yunhai, along with the eldest prince, all arrived.
The seventh princess was injured, but not seriously.
Seeing the bump on her forehead and the scratches on her arms, Yun Haiwang and his wife were heartbroken.
"Someone actually injured me, Ajir? Azam, go! Take 100,000 elite troops and crush the Flowing Sand Kingdom!" King Yunhai angrily ordered his eldest son, who was also Ajir's brother by the same father and mother.
“Father, calm down!” Agil stopped him. “It’s not that our soldiers in Yunhai are inferior to them, but that they use poison. That poison is very strange, colorless and odorless, and people can be poisoned without realizing it, suddenly becoming powerless. That’s how our soldiers were killed.”
"And what about you? Little sister, have you been poisoned?" the eldest prince, Azamu, asked worriedly.
“No. Brother, have you forgotten? When I was little, I ate a poisonous snake, drank its blood, and ate its gall. Since then, I have never been poisoned again,” Agil said. “At first, Princess Liusha only accepted the attacks, probably waiting for me to be poisoned. Later, when she found out I wasn’t poisoned, she made her killing move. Father, Mother, Brother, our Western Lands has produced a woman who is no less capable than me.”
King Yunhai fed Agil a glass of water, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. In the West, Agil, you will always be the most beautiful and powerful princess, unmatched by anyone."
Agil shook his head, but did not offer any explanation.
King Yunhai sat down on the stool, resting his hands on his knees: "The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom came from the east in his early years. It is said that there is a country in the east that is skilled in poisons, the Southern Frontier Kingdom. King Langge mentioned that the Southern Frontier Kingdom was dealt with by the Great Zhou. However, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom came early, so perhaps he came from the Southern Frontier. If this is poisonous..."
The family of four fell silent.
If it hadn't been the invulnerable Agil who went today, but instead the eldest prince, it's likely he would have never returned.
Queen Yunhai broke the silence: "Are we going to let the Flowing Sand Kingdom go? What if we send more troops to Langge Kingdom to conquer Great Zhou, and then the Flowing Sand Kingdom launches an attack? We'll occupy Great Zhou, but lose our original territory. Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?"
King Yunhai nodded: "Therefore, we must take down the Flowing Sand Kingdom. Azamu, what are your thoughts?"
The eldest prince, Azam, glanced at the bump on Ajir's forehead: "A direct assault! I don't believe they have that much poison left. We lost 20,000 men in Yunhai this time. The land around Liusha Kingdom is only enough to grow crops and feed livestock, where would they get so many medicinal herbs to make poison for them?"
