743 The whole army was annihilated. How could this happen?

"The whole army was wiped out? Really the whole army was wiped out? How could this be possible?"

Wang Jinling looked at the result of the battle between Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi with his mouth wide open for a long time. His image as a nobleman was completely gone.

Could it be that fighting is hereditary? This should be their first time, so why can Feng Qingchen always catch them off guard?

In fact, as the party guarding Xuanxiao Palace, there is no need to form any formation at all. All they need to do is to find the right time to open the mechanisms and traps. However...

The same mechanism or trap can have completely different destructive power in the hands of different people.

"Why not? The fact has proved that Xuan Shaoqi's entire army was wiped out. None of his men reached the gate of Xuanxiao Palace." The Ninth Prince raised his eyes slightly, looking very happy.

In this battle, he and Feng Qingchen were both winners.

"How could Feng Qingchen transfer the guards down the mountain?" Wang Jinling was very confused. Why didn't he think of this?

Knowing clearly that it was impossible to kill all these people on the spot by relying on those traps, why didn't he set up an ambush on the road, and foolishly let the Ninth Prince lead his men to rush to Xuanxiao Palace?

"Why not? This is a battlefield. As long as we can achieve victory with the least sacrifice, anything can be done." This is the way to use troops. There is no need to pay too much attention to military techniques, and there is no need to care about what means are used. As long as victory is achieved at the lowest cost, it will be fine.

"Cunning." Wang Jinling didn't know what else he could say besides this.

"Are you talking about me?" Feng Qingchen just walked over. She had lost the fighting enthusiasm. Although she looked cold, she did not have the majesty that she had on the battlefield.

"Ahem..." Wang Jinling almost choked on his saliva. It was so embarrassing for a nobleman to be choked on his saliva. Wang Jinling quickly said seriously, "Qingchen, why did you think of sending the guards down the mountain and let them intercept the robbery on the way?"

Wang Jinling quickly changed the subject, and Feng Qingchen sat down and answered: "Well... I thought about it, those mechanisms will definitely not be able to completely stop Xuan Shaoqi's troops, and his men will definitely rush up. In this case, let's send people to intercept them halfway. Disciples will be dispatched anyway, and it doesn't matter if it's early or late. Intercepting them halfway can also save us from getting our own land dirty." The last sentence is the key point

As soon as Feng Qingchen sat down, the Ninth Prince poured a glass of water and handed it to her. Feng Qingchen didn't hesitate to pick up the glass and started drinking.

After drinking it all in one gulp, the Ninth Prince added more water to the cup. His movements were very skillful, as if he had done it a thousand times before. Feng Qingchen didn't think there was anything wrong, so he picked up the cup and drank. However, Wang Jinling was stunned...

Ninth uncle, when did you learn to do this kind of menial work, and do it so well and so naturally.

The most important thing is that there are only two cups on the table, which means that the cup in Feng Qingchen's hand is the one that the Ninth Prince had just drunk from.

asshole!

Wang Jinling glared at the Ninth Uncle with a sharp look in his eyes. The Ninth Uncle raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, and added water to Feng Qingchen for the third time, and asked, "Why did you come so soon? Don't you want to clean up the battlefield?"

What Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi were doing was not a sand table simulation, it was real gunpowder and fighting. The battlefield was in a mess with blood and flesh all over the ground. Anyone who saw this scene would never doubt that a big battle had just taken place here.

"That's not my battlefield. I just want to test the effect of the mechanism and the power of gunpowder." Feng Qingchen said indifferently.

She was very clear about her own abilities. She had no ability to command a battle. The battle just now was just the use of mechanisms and gunpowder to calculate the best time to attack. If the two armies really met, she would have no idea how to fight.

"You are humble. You did a good job." Better than Wang Jinling.

The Ninth Prince did not say the second half of the sentence, but the look in Wang Jinling's eyes fully explained this point.

Wang Jinling was so angry that he wanted to remind Feng Qingchen that she had just drunk the saliva of the Ninth Prince. But after thinking about it, he decided to endure it. Only the Ninth Prince would be happy if he told her. If he didn't tell her, the Ninth Prince would suffocate to death.

"What's good or bad about it? Those mechanisms and traps were not designed. They were all other people's wisdom. I just asked people to open the mechanisms." Feng Qingchen turned his head and smiled brightly at the Ninth Prince. The light in his eyes made the Ninth Prince's heart move. He suddenly felt dry in the mouth. He picked up the teapot and wanted to pour himself a glass of water, but found that he didn't have a cup.

The Ninth Prince put down the teapot sullenly. Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows in confusion. Just when he was about to say something, a servant in blue hurried over and said anxiously, "Miss Feng, Miss Feng, something happened. Old Master Gongshu asked you to go over quickly."

"Something happened? I'll be there right away." Feng Qingchen didn't ask what happened, but it seemed that she knew the situation was serious, otherwise those agency bosses wouldn't have come to call her. After all, when she left just now, those people didn't try to keep her.

Feng Qingchen put down the teacup and smiled apologetically at the Ninth Uncle and Wang Jinling: "Sorry, I'll go over and take a look."

Such politeness and courteousness made both the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling depressed. Wang Jinling drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then took the teapot from the Ninth Prince's hand and added another cup for himself.

The Ninth Prince calmly took Cai Feng Qingchen's teacup, drank the tea in it, and stood up and left...

It's time to take action!

"You, you, you..." Wang Jinling pointed at the Ninth Uncle's back, his body and fingers trembling.

Isn’t the Ninth Prince a mysophobe? What’s going on here? Is his eyes blurry?

Rubbing his eyes and confirming again and again, Wang Jinling was sure that he was not seeing things when he saw the teacup placed in front of the seat where the Ninth Prince had sat before.

Thus, the image of a nobleman was completely destroyed again. Wang Jinling didn't know how he left the viewing platform. He only knew that this scene today had deeply stimulated him.

When did the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen become so close? Did something happen between the two of them when he didn't know?

Wang Jinling shook his head violently, throwing this terrible idea out of his mind. The real battle was about to begin, and he couldn't lose his composure.

Although this battle was a drill, it was realistic enough. The spies could not get close to Xuanxiao Palace and could only judge the severity of the battle by the sounds and the smell of blood left on the battlefield. When some people heard that the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling's troops had rushed to Xuanxiao Palace, they could not hold back.

"General, Dongling's troops are leading the way ahead. We should take this opportunity to follow them to reduce casualties." Upon hearing the battle news from the front, a deputy general of Xiling was so excited that he couldn't wait to go down and fight.

"Yes, General, if we delay too long, by the time the other side has fixed the traps, it will be too late." Another deputy general stepped forward to advise.

Their idea was right, but... the general sitting in the middle remained unmoved. No matter how the people around him persuaded him, he had no intention of sending troops until the messenger came to report.

"Report... General, Dongling and Nanling have assembled their armies and set out."

When the general heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Give the order, set off!"

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the deputy generals who were trying to persuade him immediately became energetic, with admiration showing on their faces.

It turned out that the general wanted to wait for the people of Dongling and Nanling to come together. Yes, the three parties joining forces are always stronger than fighting alone.

The servant called Feng Qingchen away because he received news that the coalition forces of the three countries were heading towards Xuanxiao Palace...
