1344 Duke North’s Request
“Ning County and Feng County, as well as the civilians of Jiayu Pass are still in trouble. No matter whether the battle this time is won or not, the civilians of the Saint Divine Land will not have a peaceful day at all.”
“…”
“We are already able to keep the town, so what we need to do next is to get our towns back!”
“…”
“Please, Generals, what do you think? I will definitely help you if I can do anything,” Gu Chaoyan said with a resolute look on her face.
“Okay!” Wu Leng struck the table and said excitedly.
Actually…
He was thinking the same.
The North Qi Land lost the battle today and the prince got very annoyed so he would definitely vent his anger on the civilians. They must regain the towns of the Saint Divine Land.
Lady Chaoyan was right…
They subconsciously relied on Lady Chaoyan and expected that she could help them, but they were the generals who knew how to fight a war, so they should be the ones that worked out a plan to retake the town.
They needed to think about the plan carefully.
Wu Leng looked at General Huangpu and then at Lord Huai.
“Currently we have kept Xinzhou and the North Qi lost the battle.” General Huangpu said, “The capital should give us orders about whether we are to keep the town or reclaim the lost towns. If the latter is the order, we need to get more soldiers from the King,” General Huangpu said with a frown.
He had been working at the border so he was more experienced about the process.
Therefore, he was able to think through everything before starting the battles. In his opinion, what mattered the most was to keep the civilians at Xinzhou safe, and Ning County, Feng County and Jiayu Pass came later.
“Okay.” Zhou Huaijin answered briefly.
The discussion ended at that moment.
Wu Leng opened his mouth and was about to say something when he stopped. He was just a Left General so he needed to obey orders from the chief.
Gu Chaoyan went back to her tent and Wu Leng did not dare to disturb her, so he went back to the top of the gate.
Zhou Huaijin still had some affairs to deal with so he asked Sword One to accompany Gu Chaoyan back to the tent.
As soon as they went back to the tent, Gu Chaoyan saw Duke North’s guard waiting for her outside the door, looking embarrassed yet urgent.
Gu Chaoyan had a good impression of the guard, so she called him directly into the tent.
She sat down and asked. “What is it?”
The guard was startled for a moment then he said, “Lady Chaoyan, could you please check out Duke North? He has not been feeling well and Doctor Yinghan has no idea what to do. I thought that you could go see him and then I will feel more assured. I am leaving for the capital with Duke North in a couple of days, so I hope that everything will be ok.”
Gu Chaoyan frowned. She threw a calm look at the guards.
“You can leave.” Gu Chaoyan’s face turned cold. She had no intention of following him there.
The guard looked at Gu Chaoyan and sighed, thanked her and took his leave.
Sword One walked him out.
On the way back, Sword One asked confusedly, “Elder Miss, are you going to check on him? What if something really bad is going on?”
“No, there won’t be anything bad.”
“Why?”
