Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

After waves of arrows were shot down, the barbarians who fell into the trap were shot into sieves. The barbarian leader was quite skilled in martial arts and dodged the arrows with difficulty. Even so, he suffered several wounds, but none of them were fatal.

"Retreat." The barbarian leader ordered.

At this time Lu Ziren spoke.

"superior."

The previously low morale returned to every soldier at this moment.

After a few days, they had been ridiculed by the barbarians and were full of resentment. Now they finally had a chance to take revenge, so they all put in all their strength and swung their weapons and swords at the barbarians as if they were risking their lives.

"Your grandpa, I'm already upset after hearing you guys scold me today, now I can finally take action, watch me chop you to death."

In this battle with the barbarians, Lu Ziren's men suffered very few casualties, and there were not even any deaths. The morale of the army was also greatly boosted.

"General. In my opinion, we should charge back to their lair and wipe them out immediately. This way, we can return to Beijing as soon as possible." This time, the barbarians were killed like little rabbits, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It is inevitable that their morale is high and they are full of confidence in the future.

Lu Ziren did not agree with their opinion.

"This matter requires further consideration." Lu Ziren said.

"General, there is no better opportunity than now to eradicate the barbarians."

Deputy General Li killed many barbarians today and is now in a state of extreme excitement.

"Yes, General, this opportunity is rare. The barbarians misjudged our food situation before, and now we have killed them and they are fleeing in all directions. Their military defenses in the past few days must not be as strict as before. If we lead the army to attack them now, we will definitely be able to wipe out their lair."

Lu Ziren didn't particularly care about their opinions, but he didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable.

"You said that the barbarian army's guards were not strict. Is this your own guess or have you confirmed it? If we go, can we really wipe them out? Can you guarantee this? If we go, can you guarantee how many casualties we will suffer?"

Lu Ziren bombarded him with question after question.

This left Lieutenant General Li and those who agreed with him speechless.

"General, I..." At this point, he realized that he had been careless.

"We still need to think long-term about this. Li Guoliang, take a team of people and go find out the situation in their military camp."

Most of the barbarian troops sent out this time were the prince's men and those under the old emperor.

Because in recent years, there have been wars of varying sizes between the Northern Territory and the barbarians, and the two armies have suffered heavy casualties. The reason why the Northern Territory was willing to negotiate peace with Lu Ziren and others was because their population losses were too severe.

The third prince reached an agreement with Lu Ziren.

He also wanted to use Lu Ziren to kill all the soldiers under the prince on the battlefield.

Lu Ziren wanted to do that, but he didn't want to be so drastic.

With the soldiers under the Crown Prince around, even if the Third Prince ascended the throne, his subordinates would not be so satisfied. It is true that he wanted to sign a peace treaty with the barbarians, but he also did not want to let the barbarians develop into a huge threat that could not be conquered.

After receiving the order, Li Guoliang took his small team there.

After Lu Ziren brought the soldiers back to the camp, the soldiers who were collecting the granary went to look for Lu Ziren.

Only he and Lu Ziren knew that there was simply not enough food.

But he also promised Lu Ziren not to spread this panic-stricken situation. He had delivered the food to the kitchen on time and in quantity every day. Now the food could not last for a few more days, so the soldiers guarding the granary naturally came to Lu Ziren for a solution.

"General, the food in the granary can only last for two days."

Lu Ziren nodded seriously after hearing what the soldier said. "Okay, I understand. You must keep this information safe. I will get you the food tomorrow."

Tomorrow, I will take the food in Xia Yingying's space to the cave and have someone send it back. It should be enough for a while. Now, the letter to Kyoto asking His Majesty the Emperor for food should be halfway there, right?

Xia Yingying had heard the news of Lu Ziren's triumphant return a long time ago in the military doctor's tent and had always wanted to go to greet Lu Ziren, but he still had things to do here, so Xia Yingying returned to her tent only after she had finished her work.

Qin Qingfeng had already noticed that Xia Yingying was distracted.

He called Xia Yingying back directly. "I know you can't bear to leave Lu Ziren, so go and see him. I'll be here. If you stay here, I'm afraid you'll give me the wrong medicine. Don't keep me here."

Qin Qingfeng said so, but Xia Yingying has always been very serious about her work here.

Even today, I was still a little distracted, but I didn't take anything by mistake.

But what Qin Qingfeng found strange was that today, the little soldier who was almost killed due to fever was almost recovered now. He asked Qin Qingfeng the first thing after that.

"Doctor Qin, did you give me Coptis chinensis? After I woke up, my throat was bitter."

As the little soldier spoke his face wrinkled like a bitter cabbage flower.

Qin Qingfeng was very confused.

He gave the little soldier fever-reducing medicine.

There is no coptis root in the medicine. It is bitter, but not as bitter as coptis root.

Qin Qingfeng immediately thought, was the medicine given by Xia Yingying?

Because there were so many strange things happening between Xia Yingying and Lu Yuxuan's family, he couldn't help but think about it.

In particular, the medical book that Lu Ziren brought him was completely different from what he had.

"You know that medicine you take. What color is it?"

The soldier had no idea what color the medicine he took was, as he was already unconscious at that time. When he woke up, he only felt a bitter taste in his throat.

Unexpectedly, another person suddenly appeared and said to Qin Qingfeng.

"It's just a small white pill. It's very small. But it works. After I took it, I felt less pain all over my body."

Qin Qingfeng suddenly frowned.

Ma Fei San can relieve pain.

The Ma Fei San in his hand was black, not white at all. Where did the white pills he took come from? It must have been given by Xia Yingying.

Where did the medicine in Xia Yingying's hand come from?

It definitely wasn’t from Lu Yuwei. As their master, how capable Lu Yuwei was? How could he not know that?

"Doctor Qin, this medicine is really useful. You should get more of it in the future. This way, we won't be afraid of pain even if we get hurt in the future."

"Hey." Qin Qingfeng answered absentmindedly.

Qin Qingfeng really wanted to know where the medicine in Xia Yingying's hand came from? If he asked directly, it would be too abrupt and would definitely arouse Xia Yingying's vigilance. How could he find out where these medicines came from? What are the ingredients of those medicines? "Please vote"
