Chapter 776 Young General vs. Rich Lady 78
Tuolu is a mad dog that the eldest prince keeps. Now he is missing two fingers and hates Huo Xiao so much that he is becoming more and more insane.
No one dared to murmur anymore, but they were all very unconvinced in their hearts. In the current situation, more than 100,000 people had died. The eldest prince's lineage had suffered the least casualties, while those supporting other princes had suffered heavy casualties. Among them, two generals supporting the sixth prince died and one was injured, and almost all of their soldiers were wiped out.
The eldest prince is a vindictive man with no tolerance for others. When he becomes the Great Khan, I'm afraid that most of the people here will die.
He Dan was also very annoyed and said angrily: "Where is Xuan Jiu? Let him get in!"
"This is the good plan you came up with. You said fire attack, and it rained! Can't you call the wind and rain? This prince orders you to stop the rain!"
Xuan Jiu was carried over by two soldiers, one on each side. His long gown was wrinkled, stained with blood and dirt, and he looked a little disheveled.
He could indeed predict the weather. By observing the celestial phenomena at night and using divination, he could accurately predict whether it would rain on a certain day, snow heavily on another day, or be foggy. Over the past four or five years, he had helped the Rong State avoid several snowstorms many times. He enjoyed great prestige among the people of Northern Rong and gradually earned the reputation of an immortal who could call the wind and rain.
Such a reputation was good for him, so he accepted the flattery from the public and never explained.
But he certainly didn't have the ability to call the wind and rain. He thought he had everything planned out and the drought would last at least half a year, so how come it suddenly rained?
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Xuan Jiu sat down cross-legged and took out a few copper coins.
"Your Highness, it is impossible to take back the rain. God cannot take back the rain. Your Highness, what you said is unreasonable. No one in the world can do it, and I can't do it either."
"Allow me to do another divination. The Rong Kingdom is still prosperous. There must be a way to break it."
This was Xuan Jiu's second divination today. Peering into the secrets of heaven consumed his own energy, blood, and lifespan, so he only divined once a day. He usually used good medicinal herbs to nourish his body, but today he made an exception.
He was really curious. The situation in Pingyang City was more complicated than he had imagined.
The copper coin fell to the ground, and Xuan Jiu spat out a mouthful of black blood, "It's a disaster! There is a master helping Pingyang City. This person has even affected the fortune of Pingyang City, and has a tendency to affect Weiguo. With this person, Pingyang City will be as solid as a rock."
"It is a general trend for the Rong State to conquer the Central Plains, just as it is natural for water to flow downwards. However, Pingyang City is like a stubborn stone blocking the water. Now this stubborn stone is firmly nailed here. No matter how many people die, they cannot break through. They can only avoid its sharp edge for the time being."
He Dan was very angry. "It's just 20,000 Huo's troops. If one day doesn't work, I will attack for ten days. If we break a hole today, we will be able to break through the city gate sooner or later!"
"If you ask me to withdraw my troops now, how can I explain this to my father and my deceased Uncle Ke Er?"
Xuan Jiu wiped the blood and stood up, his eyes shining. He has always been a master strategist. Even if Pingyang City produced such powerful gunpowder, he felt that it was irrelevant to the overall situation. Now he finally became interested. He wanted to defeat the person behind Huo Xiao. No matter who that person was, he had to see it with his own eyes.
Anyone who can influence a city or even a country must be a great talent and his ability is no less than his.
It's a pity that this person is too arrogant. He doesn't know how to go with the flow and goes against the will of heaven. No matter how much effort he spends, he can only defend a city. What's the point?
Trying to stop a chariot with your bare hands will only bring about your own destruction!
Xuan Jiu bowed to He Dan, following the etiquette of the State of Lu. Even though he had abandoned his country and name and only took the name of Xuan Jiu Zhenren, there were some things he could not forget.
"Your Highness, retreating is only a temporary solution. I have another plan, but it will take some time. When the time is right, I will be able to destroy Pingyang City!"
"I am full of ambitions, but the six countries are corrupt and cannot bear support. Fortunately, I have met a wise leader. I will repay your kindness with my life. Huo Xiao is nothing to worry about. I will definitely dig out the person behind the scenes. I am lucky to meet a worthy opponent today! It feels great, really great, hahahaha..."
Master Xuanjiu laughed loudly and went out. Hedan waved his hand and no one stopped him.
Tuolu was filled with anger. "The Rong Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, and this guy can actually laugh! I don't think he is that loyal to the eldest prince!"
Although Hedan shouted that he wanted to kill Xuan Jiu, he relied more on Xuan Jiu's abilities. He also hoped that Xuan Jiu would make gunpowder so that he could sweep across the world.
He Dan snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter whether he is loyal or not. He has nowhere else to go except Rong State! The people of the Central Plains value their ancestral surnames and family heritage the most, but he can abandon these. According to the Central Plains people, he has no respect for his king and father, is disloyal and unfilial, and is worse than pigs and dogs!"
"He is just a madman. He seems to have no desires, but he actually wants the most. His ambition is to use the world as a chessboard so that he can play a game to his heart's content. He doesn't care how many people die."
"I will be the Great Khan in the future. We cannot let him cause trouble for the Rong Kingdom. Once we capture Pingyang City and unify the Central Plains, this man will be useless. By then..."
Hedan made a gesture of wiping his neck, and Tulu understood and nodded, "The eldest prince is wise!"
Hedan ordered the troops to retreat ten kilometers away and set up camp!

When Ji Yunhuan learned that the artificial rainfall was successful, she drove back to the hotel. She added another line to her memo, deciding to arrange more fire prevention equipment for Pingyang City in the future.
Learn from the lesson, keep up the good work, and make sure Pingyang City is impregnable!
Lu Yichen came back soon, with red eyes, obviously having cried.
Ji Yunhuan suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask any more questions. He just handed her a midnight snack and said, "I'm taking a flight back to Hanyuan City early tomorrow morning. If you want to stay, you can..."
Lu Yichen's eyes were bright, as clear as if washed by rain, which made people feel completely soft-hearted.
"Have I caused trouble for the chairman? I offended Qin Mochen today. Will the Qin family target our project? Chairman, I'm sorry, if I knew he was here, I wouldn't have come."
"I don't want to stay, I just want to follow you. Since I was a child, I have always caused trouble to the people around me, but I really like this job. Chairman, can you please not fire me?"
Ji Yunhuan couldn't help but pinch Lu Yichen's little face and said with a smile: "I mean, if you want to stay, I can arrange a position for you on the South Airport project. Xiaolu is so cute and so capable, how can I bear to fire you?"
"Did Qin Mochen threaten you? He asked you to return to him and be his woman, and he wanted you to be a woman who can't be seen in public. If you don't obey, he will ruin your reputation and make you lose your job. He said he liked you and did it for your own good, but in fact, he did all kinds of bad things that violated the law."
"The second-generation rich people in Wangxing City are full of mentally ill people, especially those who study abroad. Do they really think they are the center of the world? They treat the law as a joke. Illegal imprisonment is a crime, okay? They are a bunch of psychopaths!"
"Don't worry, Qin Mochen can't be the head of the Qin family yet. Don't be afraid, I'll protect you! Go, eat and have a good sleep, you have to get up early to catch the flight tomorrow."
