The news that Wanyan Xi had become the new King of Xiliang quickly spread to the Wilderness. Leaving aside the 2,000 captives who had been captured by Ye Chunnan, the Xiliang soldiers who were still in the barracks panicked. They did not know what was happening in the capital. The First Prince was clearly a sinner. Why did the King pass the throne to him?
And where was the Shaman King? Why had he not sent troops to support them?
"General Wan, do we still fight?" The Deputy General of Xiliang found Wan Ziliang and asked hesitantly.
"Why not?" Although Wan Ziliang had lost the battle, he did not look dispirited. When he heard the Deputy General's words, he replied calmly, "Our general has been killed.
The deputy general of Xiliang said, "Our general has already been killed. For so long, we haven't won a single battle. If this goes on, how long can we last against the Jin?"
Wan Ziliang looked at the Deputy General with a smile. "Fan Ludo is dead, but I am still here."
"General Wan, we are under the orders of the Shaman King to form an alliance with you. Now that the First Prince has become the King, I am afraid he will order us to leave," the Deputy General said. What he did not say was that they did not want to fight for a long time. The Jin was not a place that they could conquer as they wished. The morale of the army had long been shaken. It would be the same even if they fought.
"Since we can form an alliance with the Shaman King, we can naturally cooperate with Wanyan Xi," Wan Ziliang said with a smile. "Deputy General Cui, are you planning to retreat?"
Deputy General Cui said, "Ye Chunnan has captured 2,000 of our captives. General Wan, we would like to send a messenger to talk to them."
Wan Ziliang frowned. "General Cui, you want to negotiate with the Jin?"
"Even if I don't, our King will have to negotiate with the Jin soon," General Cui said.
The Jin Emperor had saved Wanyan Xi's life. The war between the Jin and Xiliang was caused by Wanyan Xi.
Wan Ziliang said, "General Cui, you underestimate the Shaman King. We still don't know who will be in charge of Xiliang in the future. Ye Chunnan has already left the Wilderness. I have already sent an order. Reinforcements will arrive soon."
General Cui was stunned. "Reinforcements? What reinforcements?"
"Reinforcements from the Dark North Kingdom," Wan Ziliang said calmly. "Once they arrive, the Wilderness will be conquered in less than three days."
"This …" General Cui hesitated. "What about our captives?"
Wan Ziliang smiled and said, "This general will definitely rescue the captured captives."
General Cui nodded. "Then we'll wait for reinforcements."
"Alright." Wan Ziliang nodded with a smile.
After Deputy General Cui left, the Deputy General beside Wan Ziliang said with a smile, "General Wan, in this way, our 200,000 troops will be able to reach the Wilderness."
"Even so, the military strength of the Jin Nation is still stronger than I imagined," Wan Ziliang said in a deep voice.
"So what, General Wan? Even if we can't defeat the Jin Kingdom, we are already in the territory of Western Liang. We won't suffer any losses," the deputy general said.
Wan Ziliang laughed. This was also the reason why he could convince Beitang Yu to believe in him. It would be best if he could conquer the Jin Kingdom. If not, there would be no loss for the Dark North Kingdom if he could take over Western Liang.
I wonder if Mo Rongzhan in Xia Province is still thinking about how to deal with the army of Anhe City. The death of some untouchables can delay Mo Rongzhan. This strategy is really good.
Ye Zhen waited by Murong Ke's side for a day and fed him a little spirit spring, but there was no response at all.
Murong Ke still did not wake up.
"It's already the second day. Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Teng Ye became more and more impatient as he waited. The look he gave Ye Zhen became more gloomy.
"His body has been badly damaged by the Gu worm. Although the worm is not in his body, his internal organs have been damaged. It will take time for him to recover." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
Teng Ye cried irritably, "How long will it take? If he doesn't wake up tomorrow, will he never wake up again?"
Fire Phoenix said so. Ye Zhen hoped that Murong Ke would wake up as soon as possible.
"You can't cure him at all." Teng Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yaoyao, if he doesn't wake up tomorrow, you will be buried with him."
Song Jiong couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Teng Ye, the Lord won't want you to do this."
Teng Ye sneered, "He's about to die. I still care what he thinks. Isn't he willing to give up his life for a woman? If he can't get it in life, I can only help him get it in death."
"You are really affectionate to your Lord." Ye Zhen glanced at Teng Ye and said faintly.
"Not everyone is as heartless as you." Teng Ye snorted coldly.
Ye Zhen's lips evoked a slight smile. When she met Murong Ke, not to mention that her heart already belonged to someone, she was also Mo Rongzhan's fiancee. How could she respond to Murong Ke's feelings?
If she had met Murong Ke before she forgave Mo Rongzhan, maybe everything would have been different.
"It's good for Murong Ke to have a brother like you." Ye Zhen said.
Teng Ye's face changed slightly, "What do you mean by this?"
"Nothing." Ye Zhen said faintly, "You are right. He became like this because of me. If you want me to pay with my life, I have nothing to say. It's just that I am not alone now. If you want to hurt me, I will not agree."
"No, no, Your Highness, we will not hurt you." Song Jiong immediately said with a smile.
Ye Zhen looked at Song Jiong and smiled.
Teng Ye's face was sullen and he didn't speak. His eyes were fixed on Murong Ke, who showed no signs of waking up.
"He still has a heartbeat. Let's wait for another night." Ye Zhen whispered, "I'll go back first."
"Will you be sad?" Teng Ye suddenly asked, "Do you feel distressed to see him like this?"
Ye Zhen looked up at him, "Even if it's a stranger, I feel sad to see him."
Teng Ye's face became gloomier, "You are indeed the Empress."
"Think what you want." Ye Zhen smiled, held Hong Ying's hand and slowly walked back to her room, sending Hong Ying and Jianjia out.
How could she not be sad? How could she not be heartbroken? But what could she do? When she was in Dongqing, she had already treated Murong Ke as a friend. She did not dare to get close to him because she knew how he felt about her. She was indifferent to him because she did not want to cause more trouble and trouble. Now that he was dead or alive because of her, how could she really be indifferent and not grieve at all? She did not even feel sad at all.
If only she could be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
Ye Zhen wiped the tears on her face, boiled the medicine with the spirit spring and asked Hong Ying to come in and bring it to Murong Ke.
She still believed that Murong Ke would wake up.
