"How badly injured are you?" Jiang Ming asked, frowning.
The servant stammered, "I was stabbed in the shoulder, quite close to my chest..."
"What? My God! How did you get stabbed like that?" Ji Bochang asked in alarm.
This old lady's eldest son, at this moment, doesn't care at all about his mother's injuries, but is only worried about Jin Feng's condition.
This made Jiang Ming reassess Jin Feng's importance in Ji Bochang's eyes.
The servant stammered as he recounted his experience of the fight...
Jin Feng rushed into the temple, grabbed a sandalwood box, and scattered the incense ash inside onto the old lady's face.
Many of the incense ash were still not completely burned, and the old lady screamed in agony from the heat!
Then, Jin Feng simply lifted the sandalwood box and smashed it heavily on the old lady's head.
The sandalwood box was smashed, and the old lady immediately suffered a head injury and bled profusely. In her desperation, she didn't care about anything else and grabbed a candlestick to stab at Jin Feng!
The candlestick's tip was pointed, and it pierced right into the space between Jin Feng's chest and shoulder...
The incident happened so suddenly that all the maids and servants were stunned. Only after Jin Feng was stabbed did they come to their senses and pull the two apart.
"Both Madam and the Old Madam have been brought back to the manor and are being treated by doctors. The Old Madam is also seriously injured; she has a head wound and a large area of her face is burned..."
"Oh dear!"
Ji Bochang was extremely distressed and jumped up and down in a panic: "Quickly! Take me to see the Madam, where is the Madam...?"
The guy was in a hurry to run outside, but Jiang Ming grabbed his wrist.
"Your Excellency the Prefect!"
Jiang Mingyi said righteously, "How can you neglect state affairs for personal matters? If the mountain god finds out that... the prefect is disregarding the approaching army for the sake of personal feelings, he will surely punish you. At that time, the Xianbei army will break through the city, and the entire Dukang Prefecture will be destroyed!"
"Oh dear! Mr. Jiang, what should I do? What if Madam...?"
"National affairs should be the priority!"
Jiang Ming said again with a serious expression, "Everything else is a minor matter. If you go to see Madam now, she might get emotional, threaten suicide, cry and scream, and cause her wounds to reopen... This will be detrimental to her recovery! Let them both receive treatment first and calm down!"
"Hiss~!"
Ji Bochang thought about it and realized that it made sense, so he made up his mind and said, "Alright then, Mr. Jiang, shall I go to Chenjia Village with you first?"
"Immediately, right now, let's go!"
"Okay, okay..."
At Jiang Ming's urging, Ji Bochang finally stopped worrying about the mess in the mansion and went to Chenjia Village with him.
However, this coward still led 4,000 elite troops to follow him, setting off in a grand procession to protect his own safety!
The maid Qiaohong finally realized her wish, escaped the prefect's mansion, and ushered in a new life.
The violent jolting of the accompanying carriage exacerbated the lingering tearing pain that the little girl had felt when Jiang Ming had taken her virginity, but Qiao Hong's heart was filled with sweetness!
Her heart is now filled with loyalty and love for Jiang Ming... She wonders if she will be lucky enough to conceive her master's child this time!
......
Inside the main tent of the Xiongnu royal court, at the old Xiongnu camp.
Aixin, the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu who had already returned to his camp, witnessed the most heart-wrenching and agonizing scene of his life!
Mother, young son, queen consort, other wives, elder sister, younger sister, all the princesses, as well as uncles, nephews and nieces, nieces and nephews, more than a hundred people died... Just moving the corpses covered the entire ground!
Except for a few adult sons who were with the army and were spared from slaughter, Aixin Chanyu's entire family was killed!
That's not even the worst part!
The worst part is that the leaders of more than a dozen tribes were also killed!
At this time, the Xiongnu had not yet formed a complete state and were still a tribal alliance.
Besides having a strong army and numerous followers, the most important thing for the leader of a tribal alliance is to have military achievements!
If you have no military achievements, who will respect your words?
Therefore, the Battle of Lone Wolf Mountain was a major battle in which Aixin Chanyu wanted to establish his authority, show off his military achievements in front of many tribal leaders, and completely eliminate the Xianbei people, his powerful rival on the grassland, with all his resources!
His youngest uncle, the Left Wise King, as the former Chanyu's "guardian of the hearth," was waiting for the Great Chanyu to return to camp so that he could bestow upon him the "golden wolf," symbolizing the Chanyu's supreme power, thus completing the transfer of power!
As a result, not only was this fat uncle killed, but he also lost the "Golden Wolf" he was guarding!
Aixin Chanyu had only recently ascended the throne and possessed the title of Chanyu, but did not have the 'Golden Wolf' that symbolized the divine authority of the Eternal Heaven.
This makes it impossible to mobilize troops from other tribes...
This plunged Aixin Chanyu into endless pain and anger!
The surviving Xiongnu told him that the Zhongshan army that came to massacre the camp numbered at least tens of thousands, and was led by a general surnamed Luo!
With his back teeth practically grinding to powder, the Chanyu Aixin ordered an immediate southward attack on Gu County of Zhongshan, vowing to slaughter every man, woman, and child in Zhongshan, leaving no one alive, and even killing all the livestock, cats, dogs, and rats on the streets!
Besides their treachery and sneak attacks, the army of the 'Zhongshan Kingdom' also committed a major taboo on the grasslands!
That means you can't kill a child who is taller than a car wheel!
As a result, these devils who raided the camp didn't even spare children who were shorter than a cartwheel, shattering the Huns' moral compass. They were even spat on...
