Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

After putting Shen Nanyan back in the granary, Lu Jiusi turned around and rushed to Qizhou. The people in the city fled in a hurry and found that the soldiers of Ling State did not burn, kill or loot, but were doing various aftermaths in a very orderly manner. In addition to moving the bodies out of the city, they also helped them repair the houses. Gradually, they let down their guard. In fact, they didn't care which country this Qizhou city belonged to or who was in charge. They only cared about whether they could live a stable life.

So when Lu Jiusi arrived, the destroyed city gate had been cleared and carriages were carrying bodies out.

Huge pits have been dug in the valley outside the city, and the bodies will be burned and buried as quickly as possible to prevent the bodies from rotting and causing epidemics.

"Your Highness, I have already ordered someone to clear out a house. You can move in first. It's better than living in a tent."

"Call all the generals and lieutenants to see me."

Lu Jiusi did not respond to Xiao Yichen, but ordered him to gather people.

Lu Jiusi did not go to the house arranged by Xiao Yichen. He sat in an empty teahouse. A map of the territory of Xuansui Kingdom had been hung on the wall.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves approached outside. The generals who responded to the call were all beaming with joy. Today was the easiest battle they had fought in many years. Not only did they not lose any of their own brothers, they also annihilated the enemy army. It was so cool.

After everyone arrived, Lu Jiusi didn't exchange pleasantries with them. They were all brothers who had followed him for many years, so he just spoke his mind.

"I think everyone is very satisfied with today's battle."

"More than satisfied, the brothers are happier than during Chinese New Year."

"Right, right, right. It didn't take much effort to kill the other party. This is the first time in all these years that I've felt so refreshed."

"I just don't understand what that thing is in Headmaster Shen Bai's hand. How can it be so powerful? It really opens my eyes."

"Not only that... the flying creature in the sky is truly terrifying. It can fly and unleash hidden weapons with great speed and accuracy. Your Highness, could you please allow us to try it out?"

"Yes, it's worth it to go up there and try it out. Hahahaha..."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became very tense, but the silent Lu Jiusi felt a little uneasy. He didn't realize that as long as it was related to Shen Nanyue, he would be cautious, which was completely different from the cold and decisive attitude when facing the enemy.

"I have decided to immediately proceed to the next city, Laobei County."

The room suddenly became quiet. After winning a battle, they should have rested for a few days. Not only did they have to take over Qizhou, but they also had to wait for the spies to send news about the next city. Moreover, when they set out on the expedition, they only planned to repel the enemy and had no plan to capture the city. Now that they had captured a city, everyone thought that the next step was to rest and then pack up to return to Beijing. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiusi suddenly gave such an order, and no one reacted for a while.

"Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"For many years, the Xuansu Kingdom has been restless, coming to the border to test us whenever they get the chance. This time we go back, we'll have to return again in less than a year. Now I can still accompany you, but what about next time? Who can guarantee that my poison can be suppressed forever..."

"Your Highness..."

Everyone knelt down and wanted to persuade and comfort them, but Lu Jiusi gently raised his hand to stop them and signaled them to stand up.

"This time, we will press on with our victory. I estimate we can capture three more cities within half a month. Do you lack confidence?"

Lu Jiusi was determined to fight the enemy to the death despite his poisoned body, so these generals naturally had no reason to retreat.

"We swear to follow His Highness till death, and we will never have second thoughts."

"Get up! That's it! Go down and gather the horses immediately. All cavalry will set out before nightfall, heading for Laobei County. Leave two thousand men in Qizhou to deal with the aftermath, and the rest can set out now."

"Yes, I obey."

"I will arrange for someone to notify Commander Xu first and have the food and fodder sent ahead."

Lu Jiusi stopped General Fan who was about to leave.

"Have Commandant Xu transport the food and fodder to Qizhou to provide relief to the victims here."

"Then...then let's..."

"Go ahead, I'll make my own arrangements."

"Yes."

After leaving the house, General Fan was still muttering in his heart, food and fodder are the most important things for marching and fighting. Now he doesn’t have a single grain of rice with him. Are the soldiers going to capture the city on an empty stomach?

But His Royal Highness Prince Huai had already given the order, so he didn't dare to say anything. He could only think that maybe there would be food in Laobei County City if he captured it.

After everyone left, Xiao Yichen sat in the position where Lu Jiusi had taken action.

"Your Highness is on that flying thing today, right?"

"You've seen it, haven't you?"

Lu Jiusi did not hide it. After all, Xiao Yichen was not an outsider, and someone had to take care of some things.

"what is that?"

"airplane."

"A plane? To me, it looks like a flying bird. It's really impressive. May I ask, Your Highness, but..."

"Yes."

"She...she...she...is she really that powerful? No, she is...is she human? Where did she get that thing from? Could it really be the Nine Immortals and the Mysterious Lady who has descended to earth?"

Xiao Yichen's surprise was no less than seeing a monster. After all, he had never seen these things in his many years of wandering around the world.

"She's just like us, no different. She just has... the assistance of an immortal. How to explain this matter is left to you. Remember not to expose her. If she is exposed, the world will be in chaos."

"Of course. If people knew she had such magical powers, everyone would come to snatch her away. Who wouldn't want to marry a woman with such outstanding looks and magical powers? Hahaha..."

Xiao Yichen was halfway through laughing when he suddenly stopped laughing. He immediately stood up and knelt on one knee at Lu Jiusi's feet.

"Master, please forgive me. That's not what I meant. I don't have any feelings for Miss Shen."

"Go down."

Just three words, yet they carried a bone-chilling chill.

Over the years, Lu Jiusi had no taboos or weaknesses, so Xiao Yichen was used to speaking casually. But just now, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the bone-chilling cold in the middle of summer, which coincided with his previous guess.

Lu Jiusi was really attracted to Shen Nanyue, but he didn't know whether it was because of Shen Nanyue or because of these strange things about Shen Nanyue.

Just at the time of Shen, some generals and soldiers had already left the city one after another. The remaining cavalry set off at the time of You, still led by Xiao Yichen. Lu Jiusi returned to the granary alone. The two did not delay and rode away directly.

Perhaps it was because the two of them had more contact, now as long as Lu Jiusi extended his hand, Shen Nanyue would consciously get on his horse, because no matter which horse she rode, she could not catch up with Lu Jiusi. Instead of working herself to death, it was better to be with him and enjoy the leisure time.

In less than an hour, the two boarded a plane in a canyon and headed towards Laobei County. However, not long after flying, the plane began to descend, much faster than expected.

That night, after all the cavalry arrived, they did not stop for a moment. Shen Yunzhi led the way and blew open the city gate in the sleeping city. Xiao Yichen led the cavalry and quickly rushed into the city, directly captured the city guard and controlled all his generals. Therefore, Shen Nanyue and Lu Jiusi did not have time to take action, and the city was taken in one fell swoop.
