The fire was so fierce that it quickly became a prairie fire with the help of the wind. When the Liao army saw the soaring flames, their faces changed and they all ran to put out the fire.
"Come on! Come on, the tent is on fire!" The soldiers were running and shouting, and there was chaos.
The Liao army camp became a mess, and some soldiers hurriedly carried buckets to put out the fire.
Xiao Han is still in the camp, discussing with the generals the plan to start a war with Qi in two days.
The noise reached the tent, Xiao Han raised his eyes and saw some firelight through the tent.
At this time, Qi Liancheng walked in from outside, with anger in his eyes and a gloomy face.
"What happened outside? Why is it so chaotic?" Xiao Han frowned and looked at him displeased.
"Some of the soldiers' tents were burned down!"
"What?!" the general in the tent exclaimed.
"Our tent was burned?"
"Who did this?" Xiao Han slapped his hand on the table, causing the teacup on the table to shake.
"The camp will not catch fire for no reason. It is 80% likely that Fu Tingye sent someone to do it." Qi Liancheng lowered his eyes and replied.
"This is unreasonable! Prince, this Qi army is too arrogant." A general stood up with an angry face, his eyes full of anger.
"Yes, Prince, that Qi army is too bullying!" Another general also agreed.
"Let's go out and take a look first!" Xiao Han's eyes suddenly flashed with dark light, he stood up and walked out.
Qi Liancheng followed him. He looked at Xiao Han and could clearly feel the suppressed anger in Xiao Han.
Flames shot into the sky outside the camp. When the generals saw that their tents were burned, they all ran to put out the fire in panic.
After setting the fire, Haishixuan took advantage of the chaos in the Liao army camp and slipped out with his men.
"Hahahaha, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Let this Liao dog run rampant!" After Hai Shixuan finished speaking, he spat, feeling very relieved.
The soldiers behind him also looked excited.
Qin Laowu saw that everyone was attracted by the fire in the camp, and quickly ran to the Liao army's granary.
"Who are you?" A soldier guarding the granary saw Qin Laowu and looked at him warily.
This shout immediately attracted the Liao soldiers who were originally guarding the granary. Qin Laowu's eyes narrowed, and he secretly screamed: "It's not good!"
Oops!
Qin Laowu's soldiers saw this and ran over quickly. Fortunately, most of the Liao troops were busy putting out the fire and did not notice this.
After getting rid of the soldiers guarding the granary in a few seconds, Qin Laowu looked at the Liao army's granary, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes and a slight curve at the corner of his mouth. He made a gesture, and the soldiers behind him nodded knowingly. Nodding, the Liao camp's granary instantly burst into flames.
"withdraw!"
After setting the fire, Qin Laowu and his men retreated quickly before the Liao army arrived.
"General Sea Cucumber, Vice General Qin burned down the granary of Liao Camp!"
When the soldiers saw a fire in the granary of the Liao army camp not far away, they spoke to Hai Shixuan excitedly and almost clapped their hands.
"Lao Wu did a good job!" The smile on Hai Shixuan's face became even brighter.
"Lao Hai is leaving, go back to the camp!" Qin Laowu had already mounted his horse. He waved to Hai Shixuan, telling them to return to the camp quickly before the Liao army could react.
"Let's go back to the camp." Hai Shixuan gestured to the soldiers behind him, and everyone got on their horses, waved their whips, and returned to the military camp.
…
"Prince! The prince is in trouble, the granary is on fire!" A soldier rushed to Xiao Han to report the situation.
After hearing this, Xiao Han's face darkened for a moment, he looked at the group of idiots around him angrily and shouted: "Why are you standing there, why don't you go put out the fire?!"
"Prince, what should we do next?" Qi Liancheng narrowed his eyes, Qi Jun was really too rampant today.
"I didn't expect Fu Tingye to play this kind of trick. I really overestimated him!" Xiao Han snorted with gloomy eyes.
The war is imminent. He will definitely let Fu Tingye die on the battlefield and make Fu Tingye pay the price for today's actions!
…
Zhou Shanshan opened her eyes, looked at the chaos outside, reluctantly sat up, frowned and asked the maid next to her: "What happened outside?"
"Many tents are on fire, and the soldiers outside are busy putting out the fires." The maid replied, and then she was thankful on her face, "Fortunately, the fire didn't reach here, otherwise the girl would have suffered again."
Zhou Shanshan was a little surprised after hearing this.
Fire? How can it be? The fires in so many tents must be man-made. However, looking at the situation, it is either the Qi army or Nanzhao. Now that the Liao Kingdom is on the verge of war with the Qi Kingdom, it must be the Qi army.
…
After Hai Shixuan and Qin Laowu returned to camp, they immediately went to see Fu Tingye as soon as they got off their horses.
"General, General Sea Cucumber and Vice General Qin are back."
"General." Qin Laowu and Hai Shixuan came in together, clasping their fists and saluting, their eyes full of pride.
"Is the matter done?" Fu Tingye looked at them with raised eyebrows.
"It's done, General."
"General, the Liao army's granary has been burned down, and there will definitely be no food in a short time. So, why don't we take the initiative this time and catch him off guard?" Qin Laowu said with excitement.
The blood all over his body was boiling due to the fire just now, and now he couldn't sit still.
"Lao Wu is right, it's time for us to take the initiative." Fu Tingye smiled slightly, his deep eyes filled with light and meaningful meaning.
Qin Laowu looked excited.
After hearing this, Haishixuan rubbed his hands and was eager to try.
Relying on the strength of their numbers, the Liao dogs wanted to raise their tails to the sky. Every time Haishixuan looked at them, he wanted to rush forward and chop off the heads of those Liao dogs.
"General, with the new Thunderbolt developed by my wife this time, we will definitely be able to defeat those Liao dogs."
"Don't be too complacent." Fu Tingye looked at the two people who were about to make a move and warned seriously, "Don't forget, the Liao army also has thunder in their hands. Although it is not as powerful as the current one, it still cannot be underestimated. Besides, the Liao soldiers are numerous and powerful, we must not take it lightly!"
Fu Tingye thought in his mind that no matter what, the casualties in this war would be tragic beyond his imagination.
…
In Shengjing, Li Jingnan went to visit Hua Qingxue every day. Zheng Shuwen didn't ask any more questions and turned a blind eye. Li Jingnan didn't know what her plans were.
"Hua Qingxue." Li Jingnan looked at Hua Qingxue, who was getting worse and worse, and felt worried.
"I'm fine, cough, cough..." Hua Qingxue's face was a little pale and she kept coughing. For some reason, she had been having nightmares more and more recently, and her head still hurt from time to time.
"Stop talking and drink some water." Li Jingnan saw that her cough was so severe, so he stopped her from talking and fed her some water.
"Hua Qingxue, I will rescue you as soon as possible." Li Jingnan touched her cold hand, looked into her eyes, and said every word seriously.
"Li Jingnan, do you still remember... the letter I wrote to you a few days ago?" Hua Qingxue suddenly thought of the letter she wrote to Li Jingnan a few days ago.
"...Letter? What letter?" Li Jingnan frowned and looked at Hua Qingxue with some confusion, "Did you write me a letter?"
"Yes, you replied to me." Hua Qingxue couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at Li Jingnan, it seemed that she didn't know about those letters.
"I was locked up by my mother some time ago and I didn't receive any letters." Li Jingnan was confused. He was locked up some time ago and there was no way he had received any letters.
"What?! Are you locked up by the Queen Mother?" Hua Qingxue's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief, her voice rising a few decibels because of surprise.
"Yes, I have been locked up since the last time I went back." Li Jingnan's eyes became dull. They were obviously mother and son, but they got along like enemies. Li Jingnan felt sad in her heart.
Hua Qingxue did not expect that the Queen Mother would lock up her biological son.
She was trembling in her heart. Are rights more important than family ties? She looked at the somewhat lonely Li Jingnan, and couldn't help but feel sad. She lost her father who loved her most at a young age, and finally sat on the throne, but...
"Li Jingnan..." Hua Qingxue called him softly, her eyes full of worry. She was really afraid that Li Jingnan wouldn't be able to bear it when she sat in that position and became strangers to her close relatives.
"I'm fine, I'm used to it." Li Jingnan concealed his inner emotions and said nonchalantly.
But the more he behaved like this, the more Hua Qingxue felt sorry for him. She hugged Li Jingnan in her arms and said softly: "It's okay, everything will be fine."
Li Jingnan was held in her arms, and a warmth flowed through her heart.
Only Hua Qingxue truly cared about him, worried about him, and thought about him. Even his own mother valued rights more than herself.
There was a glint in his eyes that was hard to detect. He thought: Just wait a little longer, Hua Qingxue, it will be almost...
Hua Qingxue patted his back gently, and Li Jingnan was absent-minded, thinking about other things.
"What's the letter you're talking about?" Li Jingnan asked suspiciously.
"You didn't show up some time ago. The general said that you were busy with court affairs and studying in the imperial study all day, so I wrote a few letters and asked the general to give it to you..."
Hua Qingxue explained to him, but seeing the confused look on Li Jingnan's face, she suddenly figured out something. No wonder something was wrong when she looked at the letter before. It turned out...
Hua Qingxue thought this way and couldn't help but laugh at Fu Tingye's move, but a warmth flowed through her heart. She missed Fu Tingye a little now.
"And I wrote you a reply?" Li Jingnan looked at her with raised eyebrows and continued, as if he knew something.
"Yes." Hua Qingxue nodded.
"It must be Fu Tingye's doing. He actually peeked at the letter you wrote to me. I can't bear it." Li Jingnan had a hint of displeasure on his face. It was written by Hua Qingxue for him, but that guy didn't give it to him. It was really... …
"Okay, okay, I think the general doesn't want me to worry." Hua Qingxue looked at the somewhat unhappy Li Jingnan and quickly comforted him.
The displeasure on Li Jingnan's face faded a lot, but he still had some concerns...
That was a letter Hua Qingxue wrote to herself, and he didn't see a word of it!
