Chapter 151 Enemy Attack
The crowd cheered, and amidst the cheers, Zhao Jihua knew that he bore a heavy responsibility, but his heart was filled with hope and strength.
At this moment, she didn't forget to pull her tooth: "The question that was raised by Ge Lou just now, and my third item is to show my Gu worm, which is a snake Gu. But I want to make it more powerful, so I need to provide all your Gu worms to me. Are you willing?"
Since there's no more war, everyone readily agreed: "Yes! Yes!"
Everyone voluntarily gave their Gu worms to Zi tide as snacks.
"Thank you all for your trust in this priest. I now bestow my blessings upon you all!" With that, Zhao Jihua took out a specially made spirit bottle and poured the spiritual energy within into the altar. Then, the spiritual energy shot up from the altar into the sky, transforming into a shower of raindrops that showered down on everyone present.
The raindrops penetrated the bodies the moment they hit them, nourishing them.
They immediately felt stronger.
"Wow! I feel so much energy!"
An old woman exclaimed, "My old ailment has actually been cured!"
"I think I can stand up again!" a person with a congenital leg ailment exclaimed happily.
"..."
Everyone felt the change brought about by the rain, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, their eyes filled with genuine gratitude: "Thank you for your blessing, High Priest!"
Because in the eyes of the tribe, she was using her own fortune to bless them, and was a truly selfless person.
Now, even if some people are still dissatisfied, they have no choice but to accept this high priest.
The people of their tribe were quick to settle scores, and now everyone owed her something.
Zhao Jihua laughed and said, "Please rise, everyone. We often feed the Gu worms with our own blood and sweat, which causes irreversible damage to our bodies. Today, this priest will cleanse our marrow with spiritual rain, and we Miao people can live to be a hundred years old!"
Everyone cheered excitedly, "Great! Great! Great!"
"Would you like to hear even better news?"
"miss you!"
"Do you want your high priest to become the emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire?"
The High Priest is one of our own, and if one of our own people becomes emperor, of course we'll say: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Since that's the case, let's rest and reorganize today. Ge Lou, go and count the number of troops. Tomorrow, we'll contact the Azure Dragon Empire's army to merge the two into one, and then this priest will go and seize the throne!"
"By the way, this priest may be away from here for a long time. Elder, please choose a suitable person to manage things in his place."
"Yes!"
……
The dust settles,
The Ninth Prince and Zhao Jihua exchanged a smile. They had successfully completed this seemingly impossible task, eliminating a major hidden danger for the country.
……
Early the next morning.
Military camp in southern Xinjiang.
The 30-strong army from the capital officially entered, and General Pang hurriedly led everyone to welcome Zhou Qingyu.
The entire army held this general in high esteem, as he had taken command during a time when the army was devastated by the death of the Prince of Jin, and then led them to avenge their defeat in the following two years.
"General Zhou, it's great to see you again," Pang Shuai said, bowing.
"Commander Pang, you're too kind. We'll be fighting side by side in the future!" Zhou Qingyu said with a smile.
The two exchanged pleasantries as they walked inside.
Pang Shuai asked in confusion, "Huh? Where's the Ninth Prince?"
“Oh! Him? He said he was bored while traveling with the army, so he came to check on things first…” As he spoke, Zhou Qingyu paused, “Didn’t you pick him up?”
"No... Ah!"
Zhou Qingyu asked in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. He came on horseback with Princess Nanhua, so he should be a few days ahead of us."
Pang Shuai cursed inwardly, "Damn it, this troublesome Ninth Prince!"
Wouldn't it be better to just join the military and gain experience?
He insisted on wandering around randomly.
Going out with a female confidante?
Why is Princess Nanhua also running around on the battlefield?
What did they take this for? Playing house?
The two men looked grave and immediately ordered a search for the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanhua.
If anything were to happen to the prince, it could be a capital offense, punishable by beheading!
In an instant, the army was thrown into chaos.
Just then, the sentry suddenly slammed on the alarm, his hoarse voice booming like thunder:
"Alarm! Alarm! Enemy attack!!!"
The generals hurriedly climbed the city wall to check the situation.
Looking out, one could see a vast army in the distance, its imposing presence like a dark, oppressive cloud covering the ground, surging towards this direction.
"All troops, prepare for alert!"
Pang Shuai shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice hoarse from shouting.
The 45 troops in southern Xinjiang instantly became like an anthill in an uproar, immediately preparing for war on high alert.
The soldiers on one side were so anxious that they put their helmets on backwards, and the generals on the other side had put their boots on the wrong feet. The whole scene was utter chaos.
It was even more bustling than a wet market.
No wonder they were in such a hurry; although the enemy only had a mere 10 troops, they were the southern barbarians!
The opponent's mysterious and unpredictable Gu worms can kill people silently and without warning, and they can easily take on a hundred enemies!
Everyone here is on high alert.
The southern barbarians are still advancing.
near,
Closer
As the army drew closer...
Pang Shuai's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he exclaimed, "Ninth Prince! Princess Nanhua!"
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that at the very front of the army were actually the Ninth Prince and Princess Nanhua!
"No? They ran off to the enemy camp?"
Some people exclaimed in disbelief, their expressions so exaggerated, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Now everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and the anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally subsided.
He thought to himself: How did these two living ancestors end up in the enemy camp and become hostages?
Pang Shuai and Zhou Qingyu were in a complete panic, scrambling down the stairs and frantically opening the city gate before stumbling out.
With the hostages in the other side's hands, they dared not be arrogant in the slightest and had to lower their stance.
Pang Shuai, in particular, was bent over like a boiled shrimp, almost kneeling down to kiss someone's toes.
The Ninth Prince is their lifeline!
Pang Shuai knew in his heart that General Zhou might not be dead, but he certainly couldn't survive!
Therefore, when the two armies met, he immediately stepped forward to greet everyone warmly.
He didn't recognize the new representative. "This is..."
Ge Lou was surprised. Why were the Qinglong Empire so obsequious to them after they became members of the Qinglong Empire?
Their fawning manner was almost unbearable to look at.
However, he still said coldly, "I am Gelou, the current commander of Miao territory."
"General Ge, what do you want?" After saying that, Pang Shuai waited for the other party's instructions, thinking that as long as the other party's request was not excessive, he would agree to it, as long as he could get back the Ninth Prince.
Ge Lou didn't know how much the Empire would give him after he submitted to them, so he tentatively said, "1000 shi of grain!"
Pang Shuai: That's it?
A lion's mouth with a small opening?
He readily agreed: "Sure!"
Ge Lou: That's too little!
