Chapter 302 Princess
The soldier said nervously, "Our men are catching up from behind. The Nan'an soldiers were probably reluctant to kill their own horses, so they gave them croton seeds. Madam gave us the medicine before she left. After giving it to the horses, they will be able to be used soon. Lord Zhou and his men are catching up."
For the first time, Lu Shiyan almost couldn't control his emotions.
No one knew better than him how fast Jiang Tangtang's tiger was. Even if they had set out at the same time as them, they wouldn't have been able to catch up, let alone catch up with them after their horses had taken the medicine.
But now that things have come to this, Lu Shiyan could only suppress his worries and let the soldiers go first.
At this moment, Jiang Tangtang, who made Lu Shiyan extremely worried, was riding on Lili with a group of tigers, scaring the fleeing soldiers of Nan'an into peeing and pissing themselves in fear.
They originally thought that by feeding the remaining horses with croton seeds, they would be safe. They just needed to inform the general and send a large army to catch these people in one fell swoop.
But they never expected that this beautiful woman could actually command a group of tigers. Their horses were frightened by the tiger's roar and fell to the ground, unable to carry them at all.
They wanted to fight it head-on, but the tiger was more powerful. As soon as they drew their swords, the tiger tore their necks in half.
This was not the first time Jiang Tangtang had seen a tiger bite off a person's neck. This time, she accepted it well and her expression remained as calm as before.
Lu Jingcheng also kept a stern face and was so quiet that it was frightening.
The Nan'an army was completely devastated. Are they still human?
What is even more frustrating is that these two men surrounded them with tigers, but they didn't let them have a quick death. They just surrounded them without asking any questions or telling them how to deal with them.
But if anyone tried to resist or escape, the group of tigers surrounding them would bite off the opponent's throat like lightning in the first moment, with fast and fierce movements.
In fact, Jiang Tangtang didn't mean to torture them like this. She just hesitated for a moment, wondering what to do next.
In the end, he took a group of tigers and went straight to kill them!
Let’s wait for Lu Shiyan’s people to come.
It's just that because it was my first time and I had no experience, I hesitated a little longer.
These people's lives were threatened by the tiger, so they felt that time was passing particularly slowly.
While Jiang Tangtang was hesitating, Zhou Lei and his men caught up with them.
Now Jiang Tangtang didn't have to hesitate and directly handed the person over to Zhou Lei.
Zhou Lei immediately began to interrogate all the military generals in Nan'an.
It was learned that Nan'an was a country not much larger than Lingnan. After the old emperor of Nan'an suddenly died of illness, the young prince succeeded to the throne, but his power was stripped away by the general. Now the entire Nan'an is controlled by the general.
Although Lu Shiyan and his men had previously led an attack on Nan'an, they were unsuccessful, so the general did not take it seriously.
There was a high possibility that the other side had not received the news of their surprise attack, so Lu Shiyan immediately decided to quickly capture Nan'an while the Nan'an army had not yet reacted.
This time, Jiang Tangtang led the Tigers forward.
Lu Shiyan also chose a tiger as his mount. This big tiger was Lili's little follower. Although it had not been in the space for a long time, its speed and physical fitness were very impressive.
A family of three led a group of tigers and rushed to the front.
By the time Zhou Lei and other generals arrived with their soldiers, Lu Shiyan had already captured the general of Nannan Kingdom on his own.
Jiang Tangtang and Lu Jingcheng used the powder given by Dou Xian'er to knock out most of the people in the military camp.
Zhou Lei had never fought such an easy battle before. While sighing in his heart that his wife was worthy of being a disciple of the immortal, he led his men to clean up the battlefield.
But Zhou Lei soon discovered that the matter did not end there.
It was easy to take over Nan'an, but Nan'an was extremely poor. Even the military camps were out of food, and the soldiers had to eat a mixture of grass roots and tree bark.
The tragic situation of cannibalism in the Zhou Dynasty also occurred in the Nannan Kingdom.
Many people were numb, fighting over a sip of water or a moldy dry cake, not caring whether the country had changed hands or not. They only cared about whether they could survive a few more days.
Such a shabby country is of no use to them.
But Jiang Tangtang and he have a different opinion.
Most of Nan'an's territory is close to the sea, with a large number of tidal flats and saline lands.
Until they developed rice that could be grown on mudflats and using seawater, this country was indeed of no use to them.
But now that she has rice seeds that can be grown on mudflats using seawater, the results are different.
Moreover, the climate here is warmer than that in Lingnan, so rice can be grown all year round.
Jiang Tangtang thought that with a little effort and investment, she could conquer Nan'an. Then, she could bring rice seeds and technology with her and plant wild rice on the coastal mudflats of Nan'an.
But these are things for later.
Right now, the most important thing was to find Lu Shili. She didn't believe that with Lu Shili's skills, he would allow himself to be killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Lu Shiyan had similar thoughts to Jiang Tangtang. He didn't believe that his younger brother was so inferior that he could be easily killed by a few ordinary soldiers from Nan'an.
So the two of them had the same goal. After gaining control of Nan'an, the first thing they did was to find someone.
Lu Shiyan brought his men and carefully interrogated the people who handled the fishing boat at that time.
Jiang Tangtang took Lili to search for people throughout the territory of Nan'an.
But there was no progress. Just when they were about to give up hope, a charming young girl came over and asked timidly, "Are you looking for someone?"
Meeting Lu Shiyan's scrutinizing gaze, the girl quickly lowered her head like a frightened rabbit and whispered, "I heard that you've been interrogating General Yun, asking him about the whereabouts of the people on the fishing boat that he sent to rob at sea..."
The girl pinched her palms tightly and said, "You must be very curious about how I know this. My brother is Li Yu. He is still young and has no intention of becoming emperor. You can just take the country. I only ask you... can you spare my brother for the sake of saving him?"
After Lu Shiyan knew that Emperor Nan'an was not even as old as Lu Jingcheng and was an emperor without real power, he did not deal with the royal family members. He first focused on dealing with General Yun Mo and his close associates and looking for his brother's whereabouts.
I didn't expect his brother to be with the Royal Princess.
Lu Shiyan said: "Take us to see the person first."
Li Li hurriedly lowered her head and led the way.
After walking for a while, she explained in a low voice: "After I rescued him, I kept him hidden. I originally wanted to find a way to send him away later..."
Jiang Tangtang pursed her lips. She felt that her eyes were a little evasive, unlike her benefactor's confident and self-righteous attitude. She asked tentatively, "Is my brother seriously injured?"
