To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Xu Qihuai chuckled: "Deputy General Gao, do you think you can get the prince back?"

"I deserve to die." Gao Jing's face turned red. How could a deputy general like him compare to the emperor's favorite son? "But...but you are the crown prince, how can you be a hostage? Please think twice."

Of course Xu Qihuai is not stupid.

"Don't worry, I won't be a hostage. This move is to rescue the prince. When the exchange is made tomorrow, we will start the war."

He promised his father that he would exchange it with the Kingdom of Heaven.

But when you are outside, you are not subject to military orders and special treatment is required in special circumstances.

Gao Jing said: "If the Heavenly Kingdom finds out, then... the life of the Prince..."

Xu Qihuai's eyes darkened, he held the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Thinking that his father would blame him if Xu Cairong died, he did not feel happy in his heart. He said in a deep voice.

"They have been threatening the prince's life. They have already reached Lancheng today and will be in Shengjing tomorrow."

He stood up and looked at the soldiers.

"Will the prince not die by then? Not to mention the prince, everyone will die."

Suddenly, everyone's mood sank.

Thinking of their wives, children and parents who were still at home, they all clenched their fists. Why did they go to the northern desert to fight? Wasn't it because they were afraid that the enemy would invade and harm their families?

Defending the country, these four words.

Not just talking.

Jiang Jing raised his cup and said, "General, please lead us all, attack like a tiger, and recapture the city. Our army will surely be invincible and unstoppable."

The morale of the army is high.

Xu Qihuai also walked up to him with a smile and clinked glasses with him: "I like what you said."

After drinking a glass of wine, he walked out of the tent and looked at the soldiers who were eating, drinking and chatting. From time to time, they all gathered around him. Having stayed in Mobei for many years, they had no idea who this man was.

Gao Jing said: "This is the prince, and these two are Lord Jiang and Lord Jiu."

The soldiers were about to bend down and kneel.

"Don't kneel." Xu Qihuai raised his hand to stop them. He raised his wine glass and said, "Pour the wine, and drink with me. Tonight, we can talk freely regardless of status or size."

After drinking the wine, their courage instantly grew.

"General, can we win?"

"Now that the prince has been captured, are we going to sit there helplessly and allow the enemy to bully us?"

"..."

Doubt, anger and sadness were intertwined. They felt like there was a rope tied around their necks, and if God pulled it, they would be dead. This feeling was so uncomfortable that they wanted to commit suicide.

Xu Qihuai had tears in his eyes; he saw their despair and pain.

“We will definitely win!”

"This time, I'm here to lead you in a counterattack."

As he spoke, he began to introduce Jiang Jing and Jiusu.

They had heard of Jiang Jing a long time ago. He had the potential to be the top scholar, but for some reasons, he had a quarrel and was exiled. After he came back, he was still the top scholar.

"Hello, Lord Jiang."

Xu Qihuai was a little excited when talking about Jiusu: "You have all seen the siege equipment brought by the prince, right? It was developed by this Lord Jiu. The two got married a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, many soldiers showed joy in their eyes, and when they saw that it was a woman, they raised their hands and greeted her gently.

"Happy wedding to both of you."

Jiusu Mingqin is sending out wedding candies.

The sugar tasted sweet in the mouth, as if the sun was pushing away the dark clouds and shining on the land of Xu State.

"Thank you very much,"

Xu Qihuai scolded them a few more times and then ordered everyone to go back and rest.

The next day, when the sun sets.

The armies of Heaven and Xu met under the city wall. The person from Heaven was the injured Yuwen Jie. When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous of each other. He looked at Jiusu with anger in his eyes.

He looked down over his shoulder.

That was the evidence of his humiliation, and he was released from the cage only when he reached the realm of heaven.

"I really didn't expect that Prince Xu would come in person."

He raised his head and pulled the reins. Things were different now. He had Xu Cairong as a hostage, who was his most powerful weapon.

"Oh, Miss Jiu... No, I should call you Madam Jiang now. The siege equipment you developed is really a waste. It has never been used once. You people of Xu State are really squandering natural resources."

The sarcastic words made the soldiers in Lancheng very angry.

But they could only clench their fists and dared not make a sound. The prince was still in the hands of heaven. They looked at the prince and others with prayer, hoping that they could be proud of themselves.

Jiusu chuckled and asked, "If you were a hostage of Xu State, would your Heavenly Kingdom not lose?"

Yu Wenjie said loudly: "We, the Kingdom of Heaven, will never lose. Unlike you, the Kingdom of Xu, who endured humiliation and retreated step by step for the sake of a prince."

"Is it because you are not loved by your father?"

Suddenly, Yu Wenjie shuddered all over and looked at the woman who said this. He saw sarcasm in her eyes. He gripped the reins tightly until scars appeared on his palms.

The bitterness in my heart was relieved a little.

He laughed and said, "You Xu Kingdom only know how to use culture, not martial arts. When I conquer Xu Kingdom's Shengjing, you will have the chance to mourn your family with your mouth."

A wave of his hand.

The soldiers behind him pushed the prison cart up.

Xu Cairong's head was covered in dirt, and he was wearing white clothes that looked like prison uniforms. He hid in a corner like a frightened dog, with some scattered food in front of him.

It smells stinky.

This is to return to Xu Cairong double the way they treated Yu Wenjie in the past.

Yu Wenjie frowned, "Where did this beggar come from?"

"Your Highness, this is the Prince of Xu State, the general who was captured alive that day." The guard's words were full of flattery, and he looked at the cage with sarcasm.

For the past half month, he has been in charge of the Prince of Xu State.

"A few days ago, he barked like a dog for a bowl of broth. Have you forgotten?"

Yu Wenjie suddenly realized what was going on and pretended to scold him, "How did you make a great prince and a great general become like this?"

The guard quickly said, "Prince, I see he is very happy being a dog. Come on, bark twice for our prince to hear. If you bark well, the dried meat will be yours."

"Woof woof..."

Xu Cairong picked up the strips of meat and ate them madly. God had no idea how hungry he was.

The Heavenly Soldiers burst into laughter.

The soldiers of Xu State closed their eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Even though he was a mortal enemy of Xu Cairong, he was still a Xu countryman after all, and a half-brother. How could Xu Qihuai tolerate this? He was filled with anger and denounced this behavior.

"enough!"

"Not enough!" Yu Wenjie's emotions completely exploded at this moment. He jumped off the carriage, his arms bulging with veins, and pointed at Xu Qihuai, "When you locked me in the prison car, did you ever think that I also have to save face?"

A few days ago, Xu Qihuai met Xu Jincai once.

The proud and delicate Princess Jincai has become someone whose brows are always filled with a hint of sadness. As her royal brother, he will naturally feel sorry for her as long as she can be a good person.

"Face? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing such a disgusting thing in the Xu Kingdom Palace?"

Consequences? For Yu Wenjie now, he had already given up. Recalling what he had done in the palace, he licked his lips and said, "Whatever the consequences are, they are not as delicious as the princess of your Xu State."
