Outside King's City, Liu Wenxue began to order his soldiers to ram against the walls. They had lost their patience, especially when there was no food. If they did not attack the city, even if they were not killed by Ye Yiqing's men, they would starve to death.
The only thing that Liu Wenxue did not expect was that he had underestimated Ye Yiqing. Initially, he thought that there were not many generals in the city who were good at fighting. Ye Yiqing was just a scholar, so how could he have any experience in battle? However, he just had a hundred tricks up his sleeves and stopped the 20,000 elite soldiers outside the city.
"Ye Yiqing, what do you want? You are not a citizen of Dongqing. Do you need to work so hard for Li Heng? Your son's life is uncertain in Quicksand City. Do you really think he can resist the army of the Dark North Kingdom? Without my orders, Liu Jiabing will never help him. Do you want your son's life, or do you want to defend the capital for Li Heng? What do you think you can do even if you defend it now? Before long, won't it still be swallowed by the Dark North Kingdom? "
"These are two different things." Ye Yiqing looked down at Liu Wenxue. "Now that your Liu family has rebelled, if I can't protect the emperor against you, what's the point of me being the Prime Minister? A disloyal and unjust person like you is not worthy of cooperating with me. "
"Disloyal and unjust?" Liu Wenxue sneered. "If it weren't for Li Heng who couldn't tolerate our Liu family after he ascended the throne, how could we end up like this? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death? "
Ye Yiqing said, "Is it the emperor who can't tolerate you or is your Liu family arrogant?"
"It's useless to say more. Ye Yiqing, if you insist on standing in front of me today, then you should know very well what will happen to your son in Quicksand City." Liu Wenxue snorted coldly.
"If you can attack the city, come in. Don't talk nonsense." It was not that Ye Yiqing was not worried about his son, but the fastest way now was to subdue Liu Wenxue first. Otherwise, he would not be able to send reinforcements to Quicksand City.
Liu Wenxue ordered, "Attack the city!"
Ye Yiqing also waved his hand. "Kill without mercy!"
Ye Zhen, who was in the prime minister's residence, heard the sounds of fighting and killing outside again. She sat up straight in shock. "Has Liu Wenxue begun to attack the city?"
"They've been attacking outside for five days. It's impossible for them to have a chance to enter the city." Xue Lin said.
That's right, the reinforcements that had been saying for so many days had definitely arrived. It was just that they hadn't made a move for so many days, so it must be his father's idea.
"What happened outside?" Zhao Yang came in from the outside and looked at Ye Zhen nervously.
Ye Zhen said, "Nothing, it's just that Liu Wenxue is attacking the city."
Zhao Yang's heart tightened. "Then your father hasn't returned yet?"
"He must still be on the wall at this time." Ye Zhen glanced at Zhao Yang and found that she seemed to be very concerned about her father.
"Is there any news from your brother?" Zhao Yang asked again.
This was also what Ye Zhen was most worried about. There was still no news from her brother. She had only heard about the unusual movements in the Dark North Kingdom, but now she didn't know what was going on. "Xue Lin, is there any news from Quicksand City?"
Xue Lin said in a low voice, "The city gate is sealed. News can't come in."
Ye Zhen's eyebrows wrinkled. "I see."
The battle on the wall did not stop until midnight. Liu Wenxue was captured alive, and only 5,000 of the 20,000 elite soldiers remained. All of them had disarmed and surrendered. Liu Wenxue did not expect Ye Yiqing to have such terrible patience. He actually let the 50,000 soldiers stand still and watch them attack the city. Only when they were exhausted did he order them to encircle and annihilate them.
Even Liu Wenxue, who had experienced hundreds of battles, had to admire Ye Yiqing's strategy and patience.
However, he at least took a breath for himself. He shot Ye Yiqing in the shoulder with an arrow. Even if it didn't kill him, it would at least leave him half dead.
Ye Zhen was awakened in the middle of the night.
"Young lady, Master is injured nAd2!" Hong Ling hurriedly walked in from outside.
"What?" Ye Zhen sat up in shock. "Where's Father?"
Hong Ling said, "Wu Chong sent him back. He's in the house in the outer courtyard. Doctor Wang is also there."
Ye Zhen couldn't care too much. She neatly put on her clothes. "Go get my medicine box."
They rushed to the outer courtyard, only to find that in addition to Doctor Wang, there were several imperial doctors, all of whom were ordered by Li Heng to treat Ye Yiqing.
"Doctor Wang, how is my father?" Ye Zhen went directly into the room and asked Doctor Wang, who was trying to stop Ye Yiqing's bleeding.
"Miss Lu!" Doctor Wang's face relaxed when he saw her. "Lord Ye's arrow is next to his heart. We dare not pull it out easily … we can only stop the bleeding first."
When Ye Zhen saw the arrow almost hit her heart, her hands could not help but tremble. She glared at Wu Chong. "Didn't I ask you to protect my father?"
Wu Chong, covered in blood, knelt on one knee. "This subordinate has failed in his duty."
"Don't blame him, I was careless." Ye Yiqing whispered to Ye Zhen.
"Father!" Ye Zhen's eyes were red. "I will heal you. Don't talk."
Ye Yiqing held her hand. "Don't be afraid, Father will be fine."
"Doctor Wang, please all go out!" Ye Zhen whispered. She must use the spirit spring water to have the confidence to take out the arrow for her father.
"Miss Ye, don't you need help?" One of the imperial doctors questioned.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "No need, all of you go out!"
Doctor Wang frowned at her. "Miss Lu …"
"Xue Lin, Wu Chong, please go out and don't let anyone in." Ye Zhen had already given the order.
Ye Yiqing nodded gently to Doctor Wang.
Only the father and daughter were left in the room.
"Father, I want to take out the arrow for you." Ye Zhen looked at the wound that was still oozing blood and turned her palm to Ye Yiqing. With a single thought, the spirit spring water gushed out.
"What is this?" The cool and fragrant liquid dripped into his mouth. Ye Yiqing suddenly felt the pain in his wound ease a little. He looked at his daughter in surprise.
Ye Zhen avoided his eyes. "I don't know. In short, it can save people."
This is … the golden finger of my daughter after her rebirth? This is the secret of her being able to cure Li Heng's brain tumor?
Water can automatically gush out of the palm? No, this is not ordinary water. What is it called? Spirit spring water?
"Father, I'm going to pull out the arrow." Ye Zhen said.
"After you were reborn, you have this thing in your palm?" Ye Yiqing asked.
Ye Zhen pursed her lips. "Does Father think I'm a monster?"
Ye Yiqing laughed. "How many people want to be a monster? Yao Yao, this is a gift from Heaven. It is sacred and precious. Don't waste your golden finger. "
"What is a golden finger?" Ye Zhen pressed the wound with a clean white cloth and pulled out the arrow.
Ye Yiqing groaned and his face became even paler.
Ye Zhen hurriedly dripped the spirit spring water on his wound.
