“Yes, it was originally created by a couple for self-defense.” King Hui said in a deep voice.
“Later, it came into the hands of my third brother and was made into an explosive. If not for this thing, I would not have been defeated.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been so defenseless.” The King of the Northern Continent replied unhappily.
The key was that this defeat was simply too embarrassing. His prestige would also be greatly reduced.
“Who would have thought that they would use these useless things on the battlefield?” King Hui replied with a dry laugh.
He thought of something and asked, “Oh right, did your spies send any news back these two days? I have a feeling that they’ve incoming reinforcement. Moreover, it’s very likely that they’re my third brother’s direct subordinates.”
When the King of the Northern Continent heard this, he realized that he had not received any news from the other side for a few days.
Did something happen, or was there no news to send?
No, something must have happened. Otherwise, the news of the army’s arrival would have been sent over.
“Have you received any news from the other side these few days?” He asked the scout leader.
“Your Majesty, ever since the ambush was successful, the city has been sealed. Our people can’t enter, and none of them have come out, so we haven’t received any news.”
“In other words, we lost contact?”
“Yes, it has been more than ten days.”
“What are you doing? The battlefield is constantly changing, and there has been no news for more than ten days! You’re not even reporting it or thinking of a solution; are you looking for death?”
The scout captain broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, “I’ve tried to contact them several times, but I haven’t been able to get in touch.”
“Hurry up and contact them! Remember, regardless of whether you can contact them or not, you have to report to me every morning and night.”
“Yes!” The captain saluted and immediately ran out.
The King of the Northern Continent looked at his back and was furious. At the same time, he realized that he had let down his guard because of the Ming Dynasty’s delay in accepting the challenge. Otherwise, he would not have ended up in this position.
It seemed that this battle was much more difficult than he had imagined.
He looked at King Hui, who was sitting quietly at the side. “Don’t you have people on your side? Try to contact them. We must know how many reinforcements the other party has sent as soon as possible.”
“Also, how many of those explosives did they use up today?
“Otherwise, we’ll be in a passive position.”
“Let me try.” King Hui nodded and returned to his courtyard.
First, he went back to his room and wrote a small note. He went to his room, caught a carrier pigeon, put the note into the carrier tube, and released the carrier pigeon.
However, as soon as the carrier pigeon entered the city, it was spotted and targeted.
After Zhou Xinghe received the news, he immediately followed and destroyed King Hui’s stronghold.
After a while, another large group of spies was found.
After the Emperor and the rest had rested, they quickly formulated a battle plan, as the war had officially begun.
When Gu Chengrui and his group arrived at the border, they encountered a battle that had just ended, so they immediately joined the rescue team.
On this day, Zhou Ying had just cooked some dried sweet potatoes and planned to give them to the servants to taste when suddenly, Gu Wanning’s eunuch, Eunuch Sun, ran over in a hurry. “Madam Gu, hurry up and follow me to the palace!”
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Zhou Ying asked.
“It’s hard to explain. Anyway, the Empress has something to say to you.”
“Alright, wait a moment. The grapes are ripe, so let me bring two bunches of grapes for the Eldest Princess.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she asked someone to bring the grapes quickly.
She also prepared some dried sweet potatoes..
