Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Standing on the highest city wall of Liucheng, Song Zhi looked towards Tianqi.

Xin Wanyun said from the side, "Mu Yuanzhi only cares about himself. He is so selfish and hypocritical. The people of Tianqi are suffering, and he hasn't taken any measures yet."

Song Zhi said: "He feels that everyone owes him something, and that useless people should be sacrificed."

"It's really unreasonable."

Xin Wanyun's eyes were filled with sorrow. The people of Tianqi were once the people she risked her life to protect. They had not suffered from the hardships of war, but died because of their emperor's cold-bloodedness. How ironic.

Song Zhi had negotiated with Qi Feng these past two days about resuming the grain trade, but Qi Feng resolutely followed Mu Yuanzhi's order and refused to let the people come.

Qi Feng's meaning was very clear. If he wanted to make him disobey his orders, he would have to step over his dead body.

The Tianqi army did not have much food and fodder, and the army of more than 100,000 people needed to eat every day to ensure their garrison.

Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as the people collapsed in front of him, starving to the point of being skin and bones.

In Tianqi, people were wailing and people were dying every day.

In such a tragic situation, Qi Feng was actually more miserable and tortured than anyone else.

To him, he was a minister. His family had taught him since he was a child that he must be loyal to the emperor, so he had never thought of disobeying Mu Yuanzhi's orders.

But seeing the people in the city suffering from hunger every day, his heart was tormented every moment.

The former prosperity and bustle are gone, the streets are full of dying people, and it is difficult to find anything to eat in the whole city.

The men under his command also lost weight. "General, why don't we secretly buy food from the Phoenix Country? If we continue like this, the people will die out."

Qi Feng shook his head, "No."

Even though he hadn't had a decent meal for several days, he still refused without hesitation.

The men under him turned around dejectedly, their faces filled with disappointment.

Their general is good in every way except that he is too stubborn.

If they really can't do it, they will buy it secretly themselves. If they are discovered, the worst that can happen is that they will die.

Anyway, if you keep going like this, you will starve to death sooner or later.

When the army's morale was about to collapse, another secret letter came from the court.

Qi Feng looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought. He couldn't help but look up at the sky. Is the belief he has held on to all his life really right?

He sighed and began to gather his troops.

……

Song Zhi didn't expect that even though Tianqi had become such a state, Qi Feng would still lead troops to try to attack them.

She didn't want to fight, after all, they just had to drag it out to the end and enjoy the victory.

But Qi Feng was a little crazy and provoked them in various ways without any regard.

Xie Ting slammed the table in anger, "Are these guys starving? They don't want to just die and be done with it!"

Song Zhi felt that something was fishy. She frowned and said, "Take a small group of people to fight and see what happens. There's no need to send the brothers forward. I'm afraid there's a trick."

"it is good."

"We'll go too."

Song Chenfeng and Meng Qi walked in from outside.

Song Zhi shook his head. "It's just a simple fight. You generals, you're giving them too much credit by going all together."

The two of them thought it was true, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?

"Then we'll be ready in the rear, and provide immediate support if anything goes wrong."

"can."

Song Zhi nodded in agreement.

Xie Ting put on armor and rushed forward with ten thousand people.

Although Tianqi sent 50,000 troops, while Huangguo had only 10,000 soldiers, they were well fed and well-watered, and their momentum was far superior to that of the sallow-faced Tianqi soldiers.

Xie Ting ridiculed him from his horse, "Qi Feng, as a general, you've even 'protected' your people to death. How do you feel?"

Qi Feng pursed his lips and said, "No need to say more."

He raised the sword in his hand and swung it down, "Kill!"

The troops of both sides collided instantly.

Xie Ting did not take these people seriously. If he couldn't win a battle like this, then he wouldn't have any use for being a deputy general.

But what is strange is that although the Tianqi soldiers seem to be physically exhausted, they are not slow in their movements.

They did not desperately want to kill people. As long as they injured the soldiers of the Phoenix Kingdom, they would retreat and immediately switch to the next target.

While he was thinking, a young soldier beside him suddenly lost his strength and was about to be stabbed to death. In a hurry, Xie Ting blocked the fatal move for the young soldier.

Pushing open the gap between them, the enemy's attack suddenly fell on him.

His arm was cut by a sword, and blood gushed out instantly, soaking his sleeve directly.

"Thank you, Deputy General!"

The young soldier suddenly cried out in worry.

Xie Ting waved his hand, "It's okay, just be careful."

As he spoke, he shot several enemy soldiers who were rushing towards him.

The Tianqi army still focuses on injuring people rather than killing them.

Before Xie Ting could figure out what was going on, Qi Feng inexplicably withdrew his troops.

"What the hell are they doing?!"

Looking at the Tianqi troops retreating as quickly as the tide, Xie Ting really didn't understand.

They were the ones who begged and pleaded for war, yet they retreated after just a short while?!

However, the other party retreated, and Xie Ting did not intend to chase after them.

In the back, Meng Qi and Song Chenfeng didn't understand what Tian Qi meant, so they decided to go back and talk about it later.

Everyone returned to the camp quickly.

After hearing their description, Song Zhi's face immediately darkened. She grabbed Xie Ting's arm and saw that the blood on it had turned black.

"Their weapons are smeared with poison!"

Song Zhi's voice was cold.

What a despicable Qi Feng is! He actually did such a despicable thing.

"What, poisonous?"

Xie Ting was horrified and looked down at his arm. Not only was the moonlight black, but the wounds around it also had a faint abnormal color.

"Quick, Meng Qi, gather all the injured soldiers together and have Dr. Jiang come over to take a look."

"it is good."

Meng Qi realized the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to delay for a moment, and ran out immediately.

Xie Ting's face turned pale, and he said in fear, "Boss, am I going to die? What should I do? I haven't married yet, and I haven't passed on the incense of our Xie family yet."

He sat down on a chair beside him in a daze. "How can I die when I am still in the prime of my life and have not yet made military achievements to bring honor to my family?"

Song Zhi said, "Don't worry. With Divine Doctor Jiang here, nothing will happen. Besides, they didn't deliberately poison you to take your lives."

Although the countries are in a state of hostility, they all have an unwritten rule: poison is not allowed on the battlefield.

Now that Tianqi has broken the rules, he must be desperate and desperate. She will definitely help them publicize it.

As he was speaking, one of his men suddenly brought an arrow with a piece of letter tied to it.

"Your Majesty, this was found on the city wall."

Song Zhi took the letter and opened it in his hand, frowning.
