Xue Congying's gloomy face finally showed a hint of smile after listening to his eldest son's words. "Well, I came back overnight just to discuss this matter with you."

"Master, what should our subordinates do?" A tall and strong man in his forties who was sitting opposite Xue Jianlei spoke up.

His name is Qi Feng. He was a deputy of Xue Congying many years ago. He followed Xue Congying from the Western Chu State and was Xue Congying's most capable deputy commander. He had been recruiting and training soldiers for Xue Congying.

Xue Congying's sharp eyes swept through the people in the room, "We must first take absolute control of Shiha City and make it completely ours."

"Master, isn't Shiha City in our hands?"

"Yes, Boxin should have captured the more than 300 people in the city last night. The entire Shiha City is truly our stronghold, but there may be another battle to fight later. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are rushing here."

"Father, we shouldn't have asked for reinforcements. If they came, we could take General Su to the tower and see how they fight. We would put behind them..."

"Yes, General Xue is right." Qi Feng agreed.

"Well, next, we have to capture Xia Yongzhou."

"Master, this is great. As long as we take over Xiayong Prefecture, we will have occupied two states. Master! When do we start?"

"While the emperor and his men haven't thought of us yet, we will set out tonight and catch them off guard."

"Father, there is no need to fight for the capital city of Xia Yongzhou. They only have a few troops, and it is Jianhai's troops that have been supporting them. They must not have received the news from Kyoto now. We can..." said Xue Jianlin, the fifth son of Xue Congying.

Xue Congying has five sons, two daughters, and two grandsons who are over sixteen years old. Together with two sons-in-law and one grandson-in-law, the fighting power of this family is equivalent to that of a class of people.

His eyes were as sharp as a blade as he looked at his sons, sons-in-law and confidants and said, "Jianlin's idea is very good, so we should quickly dispatch troops. When the group disperses, Jianlei will go and invite the chess wizard, and Qifeng will send someone to contact the great leader Zhai of Dirong as quickly as possible."

"Yes, father"

"Yes, handsome man."

After saying this, he stood up from his chair with a murderous look on his face, walked down the stairs, and came to the wall where a map was hung.

All the people below him quickly stood up and followed him to the map. They all looked at Xue Congying excitedly.

Xue Congying didn't know when a sword appeared in his hand. He pointed the sword at the map and drew circles on it. He said something to his son and subordinates and made arrangements one by one.

From time to time, I saw his son and subordinates, who responded "yes" and "yes" one after another.

……

It was almost noon, at the Tingxuan Inn in Shiha City.

Nangong Xuan and Qin Linglan, who had just returned to the room from outside, heard the innkeeper report to Nangong Xuan, "Master, the guests staying in room one have all left, and the people in the other rooms are also gone."

Nangong Xuan frowned. He and Qin Ling had just left the city at night, but he didn't expect the girl he liked to leave like that. "Well! When did they leave?"

"Master, I don't know when they left. I didn't hear them go downstairs. They must have left at night."

"Didn't they see them go downstairs? Left at night? Did they fly out?" Qin Linglan opened his eyes wide and looked at the shopkeeper in confusion. He was right.

"Master Qin, we didn't see them come downstairs."

"Well, did anything happen in the city at night? Did anyone come to cause trouble for them?"

"No one is coming, Master. You also said that if someone comes, we will let them hide. I haven't heard anything happened in the city. Oh, I remember now. I heard from the farmer who delivered vegetables outside the city that the city gate was opened two quarters of an hour late today."

"Opening fifteen minutes late? Okay!" After hearing this, Nangong Xuan asked the shopkeeper to get busy.

In the room, Qin Linglan looked at Nangong Xuan and said, "Brother Xuan, who are these people? They look like they are skilled in martial arts, so why did they run away at night? Are they afraid of the city lord's daughter today?"

"Do they look scared?"

"It seems like there's nothing to discover!"

The two of them didn't discuss anything else, only talking about the person they tracked out of the city last night.

……

Speaking of which, Ouyang Yunyao, who was on their mind, was currently preparing an enhanced version of the highly effective sleeping drug in the space with Xia Yan and Xia Fei.

She also had to prepare some medicine to prevent poisonous snakes and insects, which could be sprinkled on the ground for the people, and she also had to prepare antidotes for the poisoned to eat or apply.

She has been busy since noon and has not had a moment's rest. Her mother, Xiao Cui and Xing'er are also helping in the space.

The robot Jiji helped Ouyang Yunyao with all his strength, making the medicine according to the recipe proportions given by Ouyang Yunyao.

Because these medicines were newly prepared by Ouyang Yunyao and were not original things in the space, they could not be copied and could only be made with medicinal materials by themselves.

By the evening of You hour, Ouyang Yunyao had finally mixed several antidotes and made a number of finished products, including ointments, powders, and liquids.

She checked the queen's body again and found that she was gradually recovering. She told her mother, Xiao Cui and Xing'er, and then took Xia Fei and Xia Yan out of the space. They had an important operation tonight.

Not long after leaving the space, Chu Chenjing came over. After the two of them had dinner together, they came to the hall in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion.

When the two arrived, General Su, Junior General Ouyang, Su Huoling's two deputy generals and personal guards were already waiting there to discuss something.

When they saw Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao coming in, they all saluted them. Several military doctors that Chu Chenjing had people call over also came.

When Ouyang Yunyao saw them, she took out all the prepared ointments, powders, and large barrels of liquid from the space. "Look, this is for dealing with poisonous insects, this is for dealing with..." Ouyang Yunyao told them one by one.

Several military doctors took the medicines, smelled them for a while, and their eyes lit up. These were really good things. They sighed in their hearts that Princess Jing was so good at medicine that she prepared so many medicines in just one afternoon.

The old general Su Huoling also admired the young girl Ouyang Yunyao very much, and couldn't help but sighed: "Princess Jing, you are really amazing."

After several military doctors took the medicine away.

They came to the map, studied it carefully, and further arranged tonight's matters, as well as discussed the situations that Shiha City might encounter in the next few days.

In the entire Shiha city, including Xue’s residence, the city lord’s mansion and other places in the city, a total of five secret passages leading to the outside of the city were discovered, and they have now all been sealed.

Chu Chenjing frowned as he looked at the map, and suddenly pointed to a place on the map and said, "Look, this is the capital of Xia Yongzhou..."
