150. Good News(1/2)
Before dawn, a sharp arrow shot into the northern city of the border town of Nanzhao Kingdom.
The archer disappeared quickly, and the arrows and letters tied on them were quickly presented to Miao Qin, the chief general of Nanzhao.
Miao Qin is the elder brother of the current Nanzhao Empress Miao family, and the eldest uncle of the prince Su Zhi, who is highly powerful.
The subordinates confirmed that the arrows and letters were not poisonous before handing them to Miao Qin.
Miao Qin opened the letter and looked at it, his eyes shrank.
"Is Yuzhou City in Dongming broken?" Miao Qin's eyes were deep.
The subordinate immediately replied, "If you say the general, the latest news is that Yuzhou City has not yet been broken."
Miao Qin snorted coldly, "The people of Western Liao really can't believe it. After fighting for so many days, they haven't captured a single Yuzhou city!"
Nanfeng City was not broken. Miao Qin originally thought that the strength of Dongming Kingdom was stronger than expected. He used three times his troops and fought for half a month, but he could not defeat a city. Among them, the decision of the veteran Zhu Wei played an important role.
However, Miao Qin seriously injured Zhu Wei yesterday, and he thought Zhu Wei would definitely die. Although he received news last night that reinforcements arrived in Nanfeng City, the person who led the army was a yellow-haired girl who knew nothing. Compared with the strength of the Nanzhao Kingdom, the 100,000 reinforcements were far from enough.
Therefore, Miao Qin had made up his mind to take advantage of the death of Zhu Wei, the pillar of Nanfeng City, and the defenders and reinforcements had not yet been completed, so he would have to take over Nanfeng City today!
But this letter made Miao Qin suspicious of the people of Western Liao. Only one thing is that it was agreed to send troops together on July 15th, and the Nanzhao Kingdom sent troops, but the people of Western Liao waited until July 18th, which made no sense.
But when the bow was drawn, the Nanzhao Kingdom had already started a war with the Dongming Dynasty. In just half a month, countless casualties were killed or injured. Seeing that Nanfeng City was about to be broken, it would never be possible to stop now. Since the people of Western Liao were restraining most of the troops in the Dongming Dynasty, this was a good time for the Nanzhao Kingdom to expand its territory!
Miao Qin quickly wrote a memorial and sent someone to send it back to the Nanzhao Emperor to Emperor Su Zhen. Because he had to be wary of stabbing the Western Liao Dynasty in the back, the temporary victory did not show anything. Dongming Kingdom was not so easy to fight, and Miao Qin had a deep understanding of it these days.
The situation in the Three Kingdoms is changing rapidly, and whoever is alone will be beaten.
The most advantageous thing about Nanzhao is that it relies on the power of the Eastern Ming and Western Liao, and there is no possibility of alliance, giving Nanzhao the opportunity to choose allies, but there is also the risk of being divided up by those two powerful countries.
The army of Nanzhao Kingdom left Zhenbei City again and went to attack Nanfeng City.
Today, they are bound to win!
When the battle started, Yuan Qiu was still asleep, while Su Mo was making breakfast in the kitchen.
Afu ran in, leaned against the kitchen door, and told Su Mo about the battle situation ahead. "Nanzhao has too many troops, but as a defensive side, Dongming just needs to defend and not let the Nanzhao people attack in. Fortunately, the old general Zhu was not dead, otherwise his son would be depressed and it would be difficult for the city to be defended. Those who came here were far less than him to understand the situation."
Su Mo was seriously baking egg cakes, one of which was released from the pot. Afu asked if he could give it to him, and Su Mo nodded.
Ah Fu took it away happily, thinking that his master was kind to him, but Su Mo said, "I just remembered that I forgot to put salt in the batter."
Then, Afu watched Su Mo add salt and start making new ones, and he took a big bite of the tasteless egg cake and looked at the sky speechlessly.
The millet and red date porridge in the casserole emits a sweet aroma, which Su Mo has specifically inquired about can replenish qi and blood. The little girl is tired and needs to replenish it well.
As soon as Ah Fu finished eating the egg cake, he saw Zhu Jinnian enter the yard. He was tall, handsome and fair-skinned. He was not as tough as his grandfather and father, and he was quite literary.
"Young Master Zhu, how are you doing with the old general Zhu?" Afu asked with a smile, looking simple.
Zhu Jinnian looked faint, "Thank you for your concern. My grandfather's pulse is stronger than yesterday, and I believe he will wake up soon."
"That's great. My princess's hard work was not in vain!" said Ah Fu.
My princess... Zhu Jinnian then remembered that Yuan Qiu married Su Tianxian in Nanzhao, who had an identity in Dongming Kingdom, was the Princess of Nan'an. Unexpectedly, the scene of Yuan Qiu hugging Su Mo last night, and Su Mo hugging Yuan Qiu again, and he felt a little regretful.
"Young Master Zhu is here to find my princess?" A Fu asked. All the single men of the right age who appeared around Yuan Qiu need to be prepared for it in A Fu's eyes.
"I just want to get two pieces of clothes for change." Zhu Jinnian said. This is his original residence, and everything is here.
Ah Fu smiled and stretched out his hand, "I have packed up my clothes for you, and I'm there!"
Zhu Jinnian followed Ah Fu's hand and saw a big box under the corridor...
"Where is Mr. Zhu living now? I will carry it over for you." Ah Fu said very enthusiastically.
Zhu Jinnian frowned slightly, turned his head, and saw Su Mo who was working in the kitchen. He looked back inexplicably, refused Ah Fu's help, called his followers, and carried the box away.
"If Miss Mu wakes up, please tell her and ask her to see my grandfather again. She needs her guidance on changing her clothes," said Zhu Jinnian.
"No problem!" Ah Fu responded readily, "But Mr. Zhu stop calling my princess like that anymore. She is married, and my prince is not dead again."
Su Mo paused and glanced at Afu in a cold manner.
Zhu Jinnian twitched slightly, "Okay, please tell General Mu." After saying that, he turned around and left, not calling Princess Nan'an.
Ah Fu looked at Zhu Jinnian leaving the yard and snorted, "Master, that kid must like the princess!"
"Well, but I'm not dead yet, he has no chance." Su Mo's expression was faint.
Ah Fu was serious, "Master, if you die, I wonder how many crazy bees and butterflies will pounce on the princess! So terrible! Who made the princess so outstanding? The master is really lucky to marry her for three lives. You must cherish it! Otherwise, it will be cheaper for other stinky men!"
Sumo:...can't refute...
Yuan Qiu woke up after sleeping and smelled the aroma of food and felt so hungry.
After washing up, Su Mo set up the breakfast. The sweet and soft porridge was cooked, the golden and soft cakes were baked, and a plate of crisp and tender side dishes.
"What did you do?" Yuan Qiu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Su Mo nodded gently, "Well, try it."
Yuan Qiu tasted a bite of porridge, a bite of cake, and a bite of dish, and gave a thumbs up, "Su Tianxian, you can do it, you are very talented."
"Mu Yuanqiu, you suddenly praised me. Do you expect to leave everything cooking to me in the future?" A smile flashed in Su Mo's eyes.
Yuan Qiu coughed lightly, "You discovered it, but I'm telling the truth."
Su Mo thought to himself, of course he knew, because he had discovered Yuan Qiu's secret long ago, and sneezing when he lies. But it would be boring to expose it now, let's see when this little girl lied to him.
The two had a simple and comfortable breakfast together. Su Mo mentioned that Zhu Jinnian had been here, so he asked Yuan Qiu to go over and see Zhu Wei again.
Yuan Qiu was about to go, and Su Mo naturally took her medicine box and followed her.
Ah Fu happily packed up the dishes and looked at Su Mo and Yuanqiu's backs walking side by side, how a perfect match!
After leaving the yard, Yuan Qiu heard the sound coming from the battlefield and sighed softly. After a long separation, he would be united. No one could stay out of the world.
Zhu Jinnian was boiling medicine for Zhu Wei. When he saw Yuan Qiu coming, he quickly stood up and said, "General Mu."
I always feel like I'm calling Mu Zhenxuan... But Yuan Qiu didn't ask Zhu Jinnian to change his words, just a title.
Yuan Qiu took Zhu Wei's pulse again and breathed a sigh of relief. After enduring last night, he did not get a fever and his condition became much more stable.
She personally changed the medicine for Zhu Wei, and Zhu Jinnian watched him intently. When Yuan Qiu finished doing it, he couldn't help asking, "I wonder who is General Mu's medical skills?"
"Liu Zhong." Yuan Qiu said.
Zhu Jinnian certainly knew who Liu Zhong was, but then he thought of Yuan Qiu’s past experience and became a little incredible. “General Mu only returned to the capital at the beginning of the year and was appointed as the teacher of Doctor Liu. It would take only half a year at most, so it would be so powerful!”
In fact, Su Mo knew that Yuan Qiu had a secret. Her treatment methods for trauma, including caesarean section, were not taught by Liu Zhong, but would have done before returning to the capital.
Su Mo hasn't explored it, so naturally he doesn't want others to inquire.
"It's just a talent." Su Mo said this.
Yuan Qiu chuckled and said nothing.
Zhu Jinnian also wanted to ask Yuan Qiu some questions about medical skills, but Su Mo had helped her pack her medicine box and said that they would go for a follow-up visit to the seriously injured who had been treated last night.
Zhu Jinnian really wanted to go with him and observe and learn on site, but Zhu Wei's medicine was not ready yet, so he had to give up regretfully and planned to wait until the war was over. He must ask Yuan Qiu for advice. He was too curious about her treatment methods!
When he arrived at the wounded barracks, the first seriously injured boy to be treated by Yuan Qiu last night had woken up. He was injured and could not speak for the time being. He only looked at Yuan Qiu with tears in his eyes to express his gratitude. The widowed mother at home was waiting for him to go back. He was young and didn't want to die. Yuan Qiu was his savior. He had already given up treatment by other military doctors before he fell into a coma, but he didn't expect that he would have a chance to open his eyes again.
Every wounded soldier who had treated her had examined her wounds again, asking them about their feelings, what to change the dressings, what to prescribe for the prescription, and what to pay attention to next.
Su Mo followed Yuan Qiu silently, like her shadow, handed over what she needed immediately.
The legendary Su Tianxian also attracted everyone to look at him. While sighing at his beauty, they also admired him. He was such a pair of fairy couples, so pleasing to the eye.
When Yuan Qiu finished his work, he came out of the wounded camp. As noon approached, the offensive of Nanzhao became increasingly fierce.
"After all, with the reputation of general, let's go and have a look, too." Yuan Qiu suggested.
Su Mo would not object.
When the two went back, Yuan Qiu changed his clothes, took out the silver armor that Mu Yuanruo lent to her, put it on, and then took out the bow and arrow that Rong Lan gave her, and went out heroically.
Su Mo was stunned for a moment when he saw Yuan Qiu like this.
Ah Fu exclaimed repeatedly, "The princess is so handsome!"
"Little Afu, protect your weak master and don't let him be injured." Yuan Qiu finished speaking and quickly walked out.
When they saw Yuan Qiu's soldiers along the way, they were surprised, but they immediately recognized her identity. Last night, the army spread. Mu Yuanqiu, the general of Zhennan from the capital, saved their old general and saved many brothers who were dying. He had very good medical skills and beautiful appearance, with birthmarks around his left eye.
Unobstructed, Yuan Qiu went up the South City Tower and appeared beside Zhu Han, which scared him and didn't recognize him at first.
"General Zhu doesn't care about me. I'll see if there is anything to help." Yuan Qiu finished speaking, he took a bow and arrow, and narrowed his eyes and aimed at a Nanzhao soldier who was climbing onto the city wall.
Zhu Han watched the soldier fall into an arrow in surprise, and suddenly remembered that Yuan Qiu's mother Rong Lan was a famous archer. As expected, if she had a mother, she would have a daughter.
Seeing that Yuanqiu was not a joke, Zhu Han stopped caring about her and just told them to be careful and continued to command the city.
In recent years, Nanfeng City's defense capabilities have been strengthened several times by Zhu Wei, otherwise this time it would have been impossible to stop the Nanzhao army for so long.
Yuan Qiu's archery skills were taught by Rong Lan himself, and her accuracy was also thanks to Su Mo's guidance. During the process of practicing flying knives, she greatly improved her concentration and accuracy. Su Mo said from the beginning that what she wanted to learn was not just a weapon like a flying knives, but a skill that was common to many weapons.
Many people noticed Yuan Qiu, who was shot without any mistakes, and the soldiers who came to Nanfeng City all the way, were all even more impressed by her.
Among the Nanzhao army, Tian Qin also saw the female archer appearing on the tower of Nanfeng City. He was far away and could not see Yuan Qiu's appearance, but he had guessed her identity. The woman who appeared in Nanfeng City at this time could not have anyone except Mu Zhenxuan and Rong Lan's daughter.
Moreover, Tian Qin also saw a white shadow behind Yuan Qiu, which reminded him of someone, Su Mo.
