In the camp outside the city, Morong Gan sat in front of a table and silently looked at the military map in front of him.
Prince Morong Yuan frowned, "In my opinion, it's fine if you don't want to fight with the Su City, let's go around it and fight with it directly, what do you think?"
Morong Gan shook his head, and drew a few lines on the map, "It's not impossible to circle around, but with Su City here, it's the enemy's most advantageous defensive wall.
"Then attack forcefully, we can't give him a chance to catch his breath."
Su City is a century-old city. Its scenery is like a painting, and there are countless historical sites. It's such a pity that it was destroyed." As Mo Rong said this, he was thinking of his promise to bring Bai Qianfan to Jiang Nan. If the most famous Su City in Jiang Nan were to be destroyed, it would truly be a pity to see it again.
The Crown Prince thought for a while, "Third brother means to trap them?"
"Although we can't go in, he can't come out either. I heard that he is collecting food in the city, causing the people to complain. He is a good fighter, but if he loses the hearts of the people, he won't be far from death." When he runs out of food, the city gates will naturally open. "
The crown prince revealed a pleased look, "In the end, it is the Warlord. In terms of fighting, who would dare to underestimate him? Morong Han probably never thought that even though you lost control of the army and waved your arm, you would still receive the response of a great army. "
Morong Gan laughed, "I never thought that he would secretly cultivate so many powers."
The Crown Prince looked at him, "You are probably just going to let him do as he pleases, right?"
Since the crown prince knew, Morong Gan would not hide it, "Yes, I do know that he is the Sovereign King and that the world is his, so it is only right for him to have all the power in the world."
"Aren't you afraid that once he takes over, he'll turn around and kill you?"
Morong Gan pointed outside the tent, "He won't be able to kill me."
The Crown Prince turned his head to look and saw that all the soldiers outside the tent were lined up in neat formation. They were all in high spirits, and even though it was a siege, they did not relax.
The Prince Chu was the Warlord of the East Yue, and also the god that every soldier revered and respected. A mere two tiger talismans meant nothing, and things were dead, but people were still alive. As long as the Prince Chu was alive, the emperor would feel that he would never be able to completely control the entire East Yue.
However, he was different, he knew the Prince Chu better than the emperor, if one were to say that amongst these brothers, the only one who was truly unambitious was the Prince Chu.
He knew that his path to becoming an emperor was still very long, so he secretly observed every single one of his brothers. Amongst them, he valued the third brother, Morong Gan, the most, because he did not like to talk, liked to keep his distance from others, and had a very indifferent attitude towards power. Thus, he would rather follow the army to battle in the north to gain experience, than to have his influence in the capital.
At one point, he thought that Morong Gan wanted him to get the throne, but he did not. The young Prince Chu only helped the First Prince get the throne, while he did his best to support the young Prince Chu at the side. That was why he did not let this opportunity come to an end. Instead, he chose to hide, because he knew that he still had a chance and that chance was Morong Gan.
Now, he had finally found this opportunity. Their banner was to clear up the chaos, and once they took down Lian An, he would ascend to the throne. He must have entrusted the Prince Chu with an important task, so he definitely wouldn't be suspicious. He knew better than anyone else that with the existence of the Prince Chu, he would be able to remain stable. It was laughable that Morong Han had even thought that he was top tier in endurance, but in the end, he still lost.
Qi Hong and Lv He sat in the tent cleaning up the Mastermind Flower, Ning Jiu picked the curtain and entered, a rich fragrance assaulting his nose, he could not help but sneeze.
Seeing him, Lv He immediately pursed her lips and laughed, she then got up and said, "I have to bring me some tea."
Qi Hong was unable to stop her as he watched her walk away with her head lowered. Her face was flushed red.
Ning Jiu had always been expressionless, and it was the same for her. He was even a little impatient, "I heard that you twisted your ankle when you went up the mountain to pick flowers?"
"It's nothing," Qi Hong's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Lift it up and let me see."
"It's really fine, I'm not …" "Ah, why are you …"
Ignoring her resistance, Ning Jiu squatted down, grabbed her feet, and very straightforwardly took off her shoes. Inside, there was a pair of snow-white stockings, which made Qi Hong pale in fright: "Don't, you will let people see."
Ning Jiu turned a deaf ear and took off the socks again, after carefully inspecting them and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he once again put them back on. He raised his head to look, Qi Hong's face was so red that blood was almost flowing out.
Qi Hong became even more embarrassed and annoyed, but she didn't dare treat him the way Lv He treated him. She turned around and asked softly: "Who agreed?"
Ning Jiu turned her body and looked at her, "You don't agree?"
Who would force their way through this? Qi Hong bit her lips without uttering a word. She simply could not understand how she had not spoken with Ning Jiu that many times, so how did she end up talking about marriage?
Ning Jiu was also silent. He was a proud person, some words would not come out easily.
Lv He waited outside the tent for a long time, but did not see Ning Jiu come out, nor did she hear anything from inside. It was very strange, she tiptoed over with her tiptoes, wanting to lie down and look, only to be pulled apart by Jia Tong's neck while holding his clothes.
"What are you doing?" Lv He lowered his voice and glared at him.
Jia Tong giggled at her, "I'm asking you what you want to do. Don't blame me for not warning you, but be careful that Xiao Jiu's sword is still across your neck. "
Mentioning the matter from last time, Lv He still had lingering fear in her heart. She walked a few steps forward before she started to settle the debt with Jia Tong, "You still have the nerve to say that?
"Who said I didn't release it?" Jia Tong drew his sword and said: "Didn't you see me drawing my sword?"
"So what if he draws his sword? You can't beat him anyway."
Jia Tong agreed as he sheathed his sword back into its scabbard.
Qi Hong was a very patient person, but she was still inferior to Ning Jiu in terms of patience. She couldn't stand his aggressive gaze, so she could only say, "Go out, I should find you."
Ning Jiu did not move, and continued, "You don't agree?"
Qi Hong bit her lips. She was forced to the point that she had no other choice, so she could only nod her head heavily.
"You really don't agree?"
"No." She nodded in agreement.
Ning Jiu was not stupid, he saw through her intention and finally let her go, expressionlessly he turned and left.
Qi Hong heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the chair. She stared blankly and couldn't help but laugh.
