Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

In the tent of the Northern Barbarian commander.

Wusule, the second prince of the Northern Barbarians, was hugging a dancer and drinking and having fun with several of his trusted men.

A confidant flattered: "When we take over the seven cities in the northern border of Daqi, the Second Prince will have made great contributions. The position of Khan in the future will belong to the Second Prince!"

The King of the Northern Barbarians is already old, and his sons are fighting fiercely for the position of Khan.

Among all the princes, the second prince Wusule has the greatest chance of winning.

He was born to the old Khan's first wife and had always been favored by the old Khan.

He has the support of his maternal ancestors and some other tribes.

If he can achieve military merit again this time, he will surely surpass other princes and inherit the throne of Khan.

Wusule was originally sent out and had many complaints in his heart.

There is a smallpox outbreak in the northern border of Daqi. If you want to take advantage of it at this time, you have to see if you have the luck to do so.

If you accidentally get smallpox, you will lose your life, and all your plans will be in vain.

So when he was sent out this time, the other brothers were secretly gloating over his misfortune.

Wusule was full of resentment.

So after he arrived at the border, he kept his troops on hold, for fear that he would contract smallpox if he got too close.

He thought about staying at the border for some time. It would be best if he could take advantage of Daqi, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.

He later thought of an excuse to ask his father Khan to call him back and leave this damn place.

Anyway, he is the legitimate son, and his father Khan has always loved him and will not do anything to him.

But I didn't expect that this person's luck would come and it couldn't be stopped.

With the introduction of Wusule Jingyue clan's national teacher, he got in touch with the eldest prince of Daqi.

The eldest prince promised that if he helped him ascend the throne, he would cede the seven northern cities to him.

All he had to do was to pretend to attack the city, tie down the Northern Army and Xiao Jingyi, and prevent Xiao Jingyi from leaving the Northern Territory.

Wusule thought this deal was a great bargain, so he readily agreed.

Hearing the compliment from his confidant, Wusule felt better for a moment.

"When this prince conquers the northern border of Daqi and becomes the new Khan of the Northern Barbarians, each of you will be rewarded handsomely!"

All the confidants immediately stood up and expressed their gratitude.

Wusuer glanced at the sun outside, pointed at a trusted subordinate and said, "Take your men to pretend to attack the city again, call it a day, and continue tomorrow!"

"Remember, just pretend to attack outside the city, don't really attack it."

Although their spies buried in Shuozhou City sent out news that Xiao Jingyi's princess had taken out a prescription for treating smallpox, now the smallpox in the city has almost been cured.

But Wusuli was a man who valued his life.

He was afraid that his soldiers would break into the city, get infected with smallpox, and then infect the entire army, or even him.

Anyway, he had an appointment with the eldest prince of Daqi.

He just needs to pretend to attack the city every day. After a while, when the eldest prince becomes the new king of Daqi, he will naturally hand over the seven cities in the north.

I guess smallpox must have been gone by then.

He could just go and take over the seven cities in the north when the time comes. Why would he risk contracting smallpox and go through the trouble of fighting a war now?

Wusule's abacus was clacking in his mind.

He immediately ordered his trusted general to mobilize the troops and attack the city with great momentum.

When Xiao Jingyi received the news that the Northern Barbarian army was attacking the city again, he immediately put on his armor and went into battle.

He ordered the city gates to be opened, and rushed into the enemy army at the first sight, killing their enemies seven times in and seven times out.

The Northern Barbarian Army did not expect Daqi to open the city gates, and they did not expect Xiao Jingyi to lead his troops to charge out.

Because they were afraid of smallpox, and the order from their superiors was only to launch a feint attack outside the city.

As a result, the Northern Barbarian Army threw away their weapons and armor, suffered repeated defeats, and fled in panic.

Yun Fuling stood on the city wall, looking at the battle between the two sides outside the city, her brows slightly furrowed.

Her eyes fell on the figure in golden armor.

Xiao Jingyi has been very annoyed by the harassment and probing of the Northern Barbarian Army in the past two days.

So when he learned that the Northern Barbarian Army was coming again, he simply took the vanguard battalion, opened the city gates and rushed in to fight.

After a round of hacking and slashing, the depression that was blocking his heart finally dissipated a little.

When seeing the Northern Barbarian Army fleeing, Xiao Jingyi did not order anyone to chase them, but instead sounded the call to retreat and returned to the city.

This battle with the Northern Barbarian Army gave Xiao Jingyi some ideas.

However, the next action still needs to be discussed with other generals.

So after returning to the city, he immediately summoned several generals to the main tent.

Upon learning that Xiao Jingyi wanted to lead the troops to attack, the generals were stunned for a moment and remained silent for a while.

"As you have all seen, the Northern Barbarians have been harassing and testing us, which is extremely annoying."

"In the previous battle, the Northern Barbarian Army did not dare to engage with our army. Perhaps they were concerned about the smallpox in the city."

"Since this is the case, we should seize this opportunity and make a concerted effort to defeat the Northern Barbarian Army and force them to retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the generals looked at each other.

It is really annoying that the Northern Barbarians keep harassing and testing us like this.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Qian spoke first: "I will obey the commander-in-chief's orders!"

Others followed suit and expressed their loyalty, "Let the coach drive you!"

Xiao Jingyi formulated a strategy to attack the enemy, and everyone took orders to prepare and wait for the night to fall for the surprise attack.

Xiao Jingyi looked at the sky and realized that there was still some time before departure.

He went to find Yun Fuling.

Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield. Who knows whether you will return in triumph or die on the battlefield?

Yun Fuling learned that Xiao Jingyi was going to take the initiative and no longer indulge the Northern Barbarian Army and be led by them. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, she turned and went back to her tent.

After a while, a basket of things was dragged out of the tent.

"Here are these things for you. They are great for conquering cities and will help you be invincible on the battlefield."

Xiao Jingyi was curious when he heard it, so he went forward to take a look, and saw a pile of black, round things in the bamboo basket.

"Can this really help us capture cities and be invincible?" Xiao Jingyi's face showed some doubt.

Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows: "Don't disbelieve me, this is called a bomb, and I made it with great difficulty!"

As he spoke, Yun Fuling picked up a bomb and taught Jamel Xiao how to use it.

"Here is a fuse. After it is lit with fire, throw it towards the enemy with force. Then it will explode with a bang, killing and wounding a large number of enemies."

"Don't underestimate this thing. It's very powerful. It can be used to blow up a mountain and open a road."

"By the way, be careful when using it. Make sure to throw it far away. If you throw it too close, it will explode and hurt you."

Yun Fuling kept on giving instructions for a bunch of things to pay attention to, and didn't stop until Xiao Jingyi had memorized them all.

When Xiao Jingyi heard that Yun Fuling had taken out something that could blow up a mountain, his face suddenly became serious.

If it is true as Yun Fuling said, this is really a good thing.

He glanced at Yun Fuling and asked, "You came to the military camp to get treatment, why are you bringing this thing with you?"
