646 I Didn’t Think He Had Such Abilities
Xiao Hanzheng was shocked to hear the news.
He was not surprised that the Ge kingdom would start the war first, but he did not expect the Third Prince to be injured and unconscious.
“How’s the situation at the border?” he asked.
“It sounded very serious,” the guard replied. “Right now, it’s entirely up to Marquis Zhennan and the female soldiers to resist.”
“The Third Prince of Daliang is in a coma, the Vice Governor’s legs are crippled, the Commander is in trouble, and the morale of the army is low.”
Xiao Hanzheng stood up. “Prepare the horses. I am going to the border myself.”
This time, the commander guarding the border was the Third Prince, and his scumbag father was the deputy commander. Now that both of them had fallen, the army of Daliang was like a pile of loose sand without a leader.
Fortunately, King Yi had given him a commander’s seal before he left. If anything happened to the Third Prince or he failed to guard the place, he would be sent to the border to take over.
The guard nodded respectfully. “Yes!”
Then, he went down to prepare.
Xiao Hanzheng said to Shi Qingluo and the others, “I need to head to the border immediately. You guys stay in Northern City. I will get someone to protect all of you.”
Although Mother Xiao was worried that her son would comfort her, she did not stop him. “You must come back safely.”
Xiao Baili and Erlang were also very nervous. “Big Brother, we’ll wait for you to come back.”
Shi Qingluo stood up and hugged Xiao Hanzheng. “You go first, I will prepare some things for you.”
Ge Kingdom had been preparing for this battle for many years, while Daliang Kingdom was still in the midst of preparations. Hence, reinforcements would be a little slower.
Especially for things like food and military supplies being transported to the border, there is a risk of being ambushed and robbed by the military forces of the Ge kingdom.
However, with her tricycle and the help of a skilled and experienced master, she can provide valuable assistance on the journey.
Xiao Hanzheng knew what his wife meant and he hugged her tightly. “Okay.”
“Your safety is the most important,” he whispered into her ear.
Shi Qingluo let go of him and gave him a comforting look. “Don’t worry. ”
They did not have time to talk. Xiao Hanzheng left home to make some preparations and then headed to the border with a team of elites.
Because the cement road between Heyang County and Northern City was connected, and there was another cement road from Heyang County to the border, riding a horse could save more than twice the usual time.
Xiao Hanzheng had trained two capable subordinates in the government office, so the government office in Northern City would not have any problems when he was away for a while.
Shi Qingluo also went to the winery and put all the alcohol that she had made into her space.
She also collected a lot of herbs and made them into the medicine for treating wounds and bleeding according to the prescription given by Xiao Hanzheng. She put them all into her interspace.
Soon, the news that the border was attacked by the Ge Kingdom and that the Third Prince was unconscious and the Vice Governor’s legs were crippled spread throughout the Northern City.
This time, the Ge Kingdom came with great momentum. The heir of the North King, who was leading the army, even made a bold statement that he wanted to break through all the way to the northern city.
The great clans and commoners of Northern City fell into a state of panic.
Shi Qingluo then stepped forward to comfort them and told them that Xiao Hanzheng had gone to the border and the imperial court would send reinforcements.
She even organized a donation event to donate food and military supplies.
She took the lead and donated a sum of money, and then Xi Rui followed.
Liang Mingyu also donated a large sum of money and gave Shi Qingluo the private military seal of King Jin’s Mansion, asking her to give it to Xiao Hanzheng.
This was equivalent to handing over the military power of his own accord. In the future, he would really be an idle prince.
Liang Mingyu had already thought it through. The possibility of rebellion was too small. It was better to submit and retain the bloodline of King Jin’s residence.
Moreover, he was also from Daliang and cannot bear to see Ge kingdom trampling on the homeland and the people on the border. He would rather not cause trouble by joining in the fray.
With their leadership, more and more families and individuals have donated to the cause.
Shi Qingluo got someone to post a copy of the donation list and the number at the entrance of the government office to let everyone know who had donated.
The people who donated were also very satisfied. They donated money and materials not only because they sincerely hoped that the border could be defended, but also for their reputation.
After more than ten days, Shi Qingluo used the donated money to buy a batch of supplies and put them in her space.
She also asked the people from the government office to escort a batch of donated materials to the border.
These supplies were basically just for show. The things in the bag were replaced with straw and sand, and the real supplies were placed in her space.
She predicted that the Ge Kingdom would ambush them and rob them of their supplies, so she emphasized to those escorts that if they were to encounter the Ge Kingdom’s army, they had to save their lives and run away immediately.
She then sped towards the border.
When she left, Xiao Hanzheng had already arrived at the border.
With the Commander’s Seal in hand, even though the generals thought that Xiao Hanzheng was just a scholar, they had no choice but to accept it.
Xiao Hanzheng immediately deployed his troops and even led his army to neutralize the attack of Ge Kingdom.
He also led his troops to raid an important military camp of Ge kingdom, burning the enemy’s grain and disrupting the pace of Ge kingdom’s main attack.
The soldiers at the border of Daliang were also shocked. They did not expect Xiao Hanzheng to be a scholar who was not only good at fighting but also good at arranging troops.
It was also because he displayed such ability that the soldiers at the border heaved a sigh of relief.
The generals of Ge Kingdom were also shocked. They did not expect Xiao Hanzheng to be able to lead an army into battle.
Xiao Hanzheng stabilized the situation and prevented the Ge Kingdom’s army from taking the city.
Then, he went to where his scumbag father lived.
A few days ago, his scumbag father’s people came to look for him, saying that they wanted to see him.
After entering, she heard the sound of things being smashed.
He opened the curtain and walked in. He saw his scumbag father sitting in a wheelchair. There was a smashed bowl and soup on the ground in front of him.
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “The Vice-Governor is very angry.”
Xiao Yuanshi was surprised to know that Xiao Hanzheng had taken control of the situation after he arrived at the border. He did not expect his son to be so capable.
Then he asked someone to go to Xiao Hanzheng and said that he wanted to see him.
However, his son did not come a few days ago, so he was extremely frustrated.
Now that his son saw him like this, he felt even more awkward and embarrassed.
Xiao Yuanshi restrained his anger and embarrassment and said, “You’re here. Have a seat.”
Xiao Hanzheng walked to the seat opposite him and sat down. “Why are you so angry over a bowl of medicine? ”
Xiao Yuanshi felt a stab in his heart. “If you can’t drink it well, then there’s no need to drink it.”
He took a deep breath and asked Xiao Hanzheng with a long face, “Can you help me take a look? Can my leg still be saved?”
Xiao Hanzheng did not refuse. “Okay.”
He also wanted to know if his scumbag father’s leg could still be saved.
Hence, he went over to take his pulse and looked at his leg.
After reading it, he shook his head. “It’s hopeless.”
Xiao Yuanshi frowned. “I know you hate me, but the two countries are at war right now. The Third Prince is still unconscious and trapped in that border town. As an experienced deputy commander, if my legs can recover, I can be of great help.”
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “Do you think I’m not helping you on purpose?”
Xiao Yuanshi’s silence was a tacit agreement. After all, his son was a divine doctor. He felt that there was still hope for the other party to cure his leg.
Most importantly, he really did not want to become a cripple.
