"What about the Frost Owl King? Should we capture him alive as well?" someone asked.

Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were icy: "King Han Xiao is from the Yuanxia royal family, he must die!"

The deputy general's eyes were filled with excitement, but someone couldn't help but say, "But he is from the Yuanxia royal family. If we kill him, Yuanxia will definitely hate us to the core, won't they?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Precisely because he is a member of the Yuanxia royal family, he must die! Not only that, we must also present King Han Xiao's head to the Yuanxia monarch as a deterrent."

Killing those captives will not intimidate the King of Yuanxia.

But if you kill his son, you can definitely do it!

Even if he hated Daqian to death, so what? In the face of absolute strength, no matter how much resentment he felt, he had to swallow it even if it meant breaking his teeth.

"Invite the troops and prepare to set off!" Shen Shuyi said in a deep voice.

"I obey your command!" The group clasped their fists and left the camp. Jiuchou had no position, so he actually had no one to use.

However, Shen Shuyi asked for a thousand garrison troops for him, which was enough to make him a general of a thousand men.

"After we capture Black City, keep an eye on these people and strictly prohibit burning, killing, looting, and harming innocent people. Then you and Wang Fuyou will go together to intercept King Han Xiao. It would be best if you can chop off his head." Shen Shuyi instructed gently.

"Yes!" Jiuchou's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He clasped his fists towards Shen Shuyi and said in a deep voice, "Take care, Miss. Wait for my return."

"Go."

Shen Shuyi smiled, and after the group left, he sat in the seat where Xie Jingchi usually sat, staring at the map in a daze.

This night was extremely long.

The lights were bright in Liangzhou City. After all, Daqian also lost a lot of soldiers, and because the Yuanxia army entered the city, corpses were scattered throughout the city, and the people spontaneously helped to carry and dispose of them.

"Miss, why don't you take a nap?" Yuping changed the pot of tea for Shen Shuyi, feeling a little worried.

Shen Shuyi shook his head: "The soldiers are still fighting outside, how can I sleep peacefully?"

I don’t know how Xie Jingchi is doing, I just hope to get good news.

"Is everything ready in the kitchen?" Shen Shuyi asked.

Qin Xin responded, "Madam, don't worry. Everything is ready. We will ensure that the soldiers will have hot meals as soon as they return. The infirmary is also preparing everything it can. After we finish taking care of these wounded soldiers, the injured soldiers will also be busy."

Shen Shuyi nodded and had to admit that Xie Jingchi's soldiers were particularly useful.

There are few troubles when fighting, and the military discipline is strict.

Compared with the army that I spent so much effort to win over for Xiao Tingshan in my previous life, it is much more useful.

Moreover, he has high prestige and many confidants. No matter what decision he makes, no one will object. If there are any doubts, they will be asked on the spot. His efficiency is rare in the military.

Shen Shuyi forced himself to move his thoughts away from the battlefield and looked at Qin Xin: "Give me your hand."

Qin Xin was stunned for a moment, then did as she was told.

Shen Shuyi calmed down and took her pulse. She could feel that both her and Jianpo's pulses were a little strange, but she couldn't make a detailed judgment.

"Have you let Mr. Liancheng take a look at it?" Shen Shuyi asked.

"I've seen it. The doctor said he needs to study it for a while. He gave us acupuncture and tried it a few times. He also prescribed some medicine, but it still needs to be adjusted according to the effect."

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi felt relieved and asked someone to prepare paper and pen so that he could write a letter to his brother.

She planned to ask her brother to visit the Wei family. Wei Qingfeng's relative was Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital. Since he was low-key and cautious in the Imperial Hospital, he might know some information.

After all, even if Emperor Qianwu wanted to use poison to control these people, someone had to make and mix the poison. She didn't believe that this matter was so secretive that no one knew about it.

"When will you get the antidote this year?" Shen Shuyi asked.

"We have to wait until the New Year, because the earliest time we returned to the capital with the prince to report on our work was during the New Year's Eve. That's when we took the poison. And every year after that, His Majesty would order someone to give us the antidote."

Shen Shuyi nodded and began to write the letter. He first briefly talked about the battle situation in Liangzhou, and then secretly mentioned the poison in Qin Xin and his group, and asked him to go to the Wei family on his behalf. Finally, he asked about the situation in the capital, including Xiao Tingshan's actions, and whether those people controlled by the poisonous insects of the Li clan had been detoxified.

After finishing this matter, Shen Shuyi received several battle reports one after another.

Perhaps he knew she would wait, so as soon as Xie Jingchi made any progress, he sent someone to deliver the news.

"Madam, the Lord led his army to defeat the enemy in Songshan. The Yuanxia army has not yet fought with us head-on, but they suffered more than 20,000 casualties just by ambushing, and the morale of the army was shaken. Then they were frightened by the 50,000 troops we hid!" The soldier who reported the news was obviously a good talker. Just a few words made people's hearts surge.

Shen Shuyi felt relieved: "How is the prince's injury?"

The soldier immediately said, "The prince said that you can rest assured that he will come back safely. Just wait for his return!"

Shen Shuyi nodded: "You've worked hard, go and have a rest."

Soon after, news came from the army attacking Black City. They had arrived at Black City and raided in the dark. The Black City defenders were caught off guard and initially fought back in a panic.

However, the defenders of Black City were also well-trained, and it didn't take long for them to find their form.

At this time, Assistant Wang took out the head of the "Cold Owl King" and shouted to the enemy. The enemy's morale was shaken. The two sides were fighting and the winner had not yet been decided.

Two hours later, the sky was getting light, and the red clouds in the sky looked like brocade. Shen Shuyi received news again that Xie Jingchi had wiped out 30,000 enemy troops in the Songshan area!

The remaining enemy troops fled in panic, and 8,000 prisoners were taken.

At the same time, a bloody battle was still going on outside the Black City.

As the first border city of Yuanxia, Heicheng is powerful and a tough nut to crack. After Xie Jingchi learned of Shen Shuyi's arrangement, he immediately led people to rescue Heicheng.

Outside the Black City, the Yuanxia soldiers were already in a stalemate with the Daqian soldiers, fighting desperately. When they saw the army coming to support them, their morale was instantly broken.

An hour later, Xie Jingchi led his men to attack Black City. The deputy general, arranged by Shen Shuyi, led his men to occupy the Black City granary as soon as the city was broken.

But even so, after the enemy's deputy general learned of the defeat, he still ordered his men to burn the food supplies.

So even though Daqian's soldiers arrived in time, they only saved less than half of the people.

After Shen Shuyi got the news, he felt relieved and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt both tired and excited.

Liangzhou and Heicheng have been in confrontation for many years, and Daqian and Yuanxia have also been fighting for many years.

Now, Daqian finally took the initiative and captured Black City.

"Let's go, take a shower and go to bed." Shen Shuyi said softly. She couldn't take care of what was happening in Black City.

But now that the city has been broken, Xie Jingchi, as the commander-in-chief, must have a lot of things to do.

She needed to have a good sleep so that she could have the energy to rest for him when he came back. Besides, she didn't know when he would be back.
