Chapter 670 How to fight such an opponent?
Sang Zhixia didn't see Mr. Qi at the agreed place. After looking around, she saw Mr. Qi unexpectedly walk in from outside. She was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "I just asked the person at the door, didn't they say you were back?"
How come this person who came back first came out from outside?
Old Qi looked at Sang Zhixia with an unclear expression. After a while, he asked softly, "What did the King of Lingnan say to you?"
"Nothing."
Sang Zhixia smiled and passed it off vaguely: "It was just some insignificant family talk. I guess I felt that you had been busy these past few days, and I was afraid that you didn't have the patience to listen carefully, so I just told it to me."
Old Qi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Sang Zhixia was still in shock, with a layer of cold sweat on his back. Seeing this, he didn't notice anything was wrong and just said, "The prince just said that we can go home today."
"Can you please see if there is anything you need to clean up? I'll go and help you clean it up."
They have been away for several days. Even if they send their families a message in advance that everything is safe, their family members will not be truly relieved until they see them in person.
Sang Zhixia was eager to go home, and said without thinking: "When we left, Nuonuo and Yuanbao were still asleep. I don't know if they woke up and didn't see anyone, or if they made a fuss."
These past few days have felt like years, and Sang Zhixia really wants to go home and hug the two little guys and give them a big kiss.
Seeing this, Mr. Qi smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "I'm alone, what do I need to clean up?"
"Go get what you need and let's go home."
Sang Zhixia smiled and said, "Okay."
The person was invited by Lord Wen, and Lord Wen took the trouble to personally send the person to the Xu family.
Along with the gifts delivered to the Xu family were a bunch of rewards from the old prince.
Lord Wen chuckled softly and said, "Master Sang has been very helpful this time and has worked very hard. The prince said that these are not valuable things. It is up to Master Sang to enjoy them or give them to others. Just consider it a token of your appreciation."
The old man glanced at the gift list that was so long that he couldn't see the bottom. He estimated the astonishing value of this generous gift in his mind and made up his mind.
"Thank you for your trouble, sir. I understand what the prince means."
Lord Wen retired after completing his mission. The old man waited for half an hour before calling Sang Zhixia to his study.
"Come and sit down."
Sang Zhixia didn't try to hold on any longer. She walked over and sat down, her shoulders slumped. She looked at the old man with a wry face and said, "Grandfather, I was really scared this time..."
You can tell the old man everything you know that you can't tell others.
Sang Zhixia recounted the thrilling events of the day, and then said with a bitter face, "I really thought I might die."
The old prince’s aura is too scary.
Until the great wizard personally escorted her out of the dark room, Sang Zhixia still couldn't believe that this matter was actually over.
The old man smiled kindly: "You said you were scared, but I think you are really brave."
"Knowing that this is a way to seek death by breaking the rules, why don't you just follow the prince's wishes and try to get out and go home first, and then come to me for help?"
Sang Zhixia rubbed her face and said sullenly, "I was so frightened at the time, how could I have the time to think about these things?"
In fact, even if he thought of it, Sang Zhixia would not do it.
Sang Zhixia slumped down in her chair and said, "Old Qi has been very kind to both Xu Yu and me. I can't just go back on my word and become the hand that grabs the butcher's knife."
"Besides, it was my idea to bring Mr. Qi home to take care of him for the rest of his life. If anything went wrong because of this, I should have been solely responsible for it. How could I possibly involve my family?"
"Confused."
The old man's face turned cold, and he said unhappily, "Let's not talk about the many favors you've shown my family, but just where the trouble started. How can there be such a rule in the world?"
"When you took the person home, I nodded and said yes. If we really talk about the whole story, shouldn't an old man like me be the one to take the lead?"
Sang Zhixia pinched the hem of her clothes guiltily and didn't dare to answer.
The old man looked at her and sighed, "Now that this matter is clear, there will be no problems in the future."
"The shock you received today serves as a reminder for you. Don't take everything on yourself in the future. If anything goes wrong and someone wants to cause trouble, just come back and tell me. The old man at home is still alive, so it's not your turn to rush forward."
Sang Zhixia nodded angrily and said yes, then talked about the great wizard's changed attitude towards her.
The old man laughed uncontrollably: "I know the great wizard beside the prince. He is a ruthless person who is arrogant and has no regard for the common people."
"She can call herself a witch in front of you, which shows that she really likes you."
After this incident, anyone who wants to touch Sang Zhixia in Lingnan will have to think more carefully about their own weight.
after all……
The witch who looked kind to Sang Zhixia was not so kind to others.
When it comes to cruelty and ruthlessness, he is even worse than Old Qi.
The old man looked at Sang Zhixia, who seemed to understand but not quite, and thought that people with honest hearts will always be protected by noble people. He waved his hand and said, "That's enough."
"I called you here for nothing else, go back and rest."
Sang Zhixia left happily. The old man looked at the study door being closed and laughed softly after a while.
Who wouldn’t like such a good kid?
The Xu family is lucky...
It is also a blessing for all people...
Sang Zhixia had a small fright and really concentrated on resting at home for two days. Every day, she did nothing else but make up for the protests of Nuonuo and Yuanbao's dissatisfaction and immersed herself in taking care of the children at home.
During the days when she was forced to stay in the palace, a lot of things happened outside.
The first one was the Battle of Chuzhou.
This was the first place that the Lingnan army had been unable to capture for a long time since it set out.
What Fu Kun did was even more disgusting than the outside world knows.
In a relatively short period of time, Fu Kun managed to capture tens of thousands of able-bodied men from all over and stuffed them directly into the military camp. He also captured many elderly, weak, women and children.
Jiang Yubai grabbed the candlestick on the table and smashed it to the ground, saying angrily: "This unscrupulous beast!"
The generals in the tent all had grim expressions. Mr. Xue said with a sullen face, "With such tactics, he certainly doesn't fear divine retribution."
The battle between the two armies is a fight of life and death.
As the old saying goes, all is fair in war. So in order to gain absolute victory on the battlefield, it is not excessive to use some not-so-honest strategies and tactics.
All conspiracies and tricks are just for winning.
If victory can be achieved, the conspiracy will naturally become evidence of the mastery of military strategy.
But throughout history, there has never been anyone as cruel and ruthless as Fu Kun, who is hated by both heaven and man.
The scholar quickly closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "The elite troops won't go out, and neither will the captured men."
"The vanguard of the battle is a group of women, children, and the elderly, all holding hoes and sickles. This way of fighting has really opened our eyes today."
Chuzhou must be taken.
This is the only way for Lingnan to attack Kyoto.
Before the battle started, everyone knew that this battle would be difficult to win. For this reason, Jiang Yubai transferred the scholar who had stabilized the front line, hoping to assist Xu Yu in taking Chuzhou as soon as possible.
But when the war drums really sounded and the army marched out, the Lingnan army looked at their opponents and fell into a deathly silence.
An old man with gray hair and a terrified face who was forced to move forward, and a child with tears on his face who was too desperate to speak.
There were even women who were staggering and trembling all over, and were trampled by horses' hooves as they walked.
