"From the Yan City to the Tong Gate, an urgent march of only five days is required. Logically speaking, Liang Qi should have already led the reinforcements here." Wu Mei frowned and said faintly.
"That's right!" We should have arrived a long time ago! " Zongzheng laughed bitterly and sighed: "General Liang had already left from the Yan City seven days ago, but even now, on the road, I have sent people to urge him on several occasions, but General Liang still has a reason for doing so. It can be understood that Liang Family wants to preserve the ten divisions in his hands, and is not willing to come here prematurely to battle with Ning Country. "
"Scum!" "Wu Mei's face was covered in frost, she gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice. If there is no reinforcements, we will definitely lose our Tong Gate and General Zongzheng should have made his plans earlier. "
Zongzheng shook his head and laughed bitterly.
Tong Gate s were very simple and crude. It was a simple courtyard with one room on each side and the main room was a small wooden building on the second floor.
The room that Tang Yin got was right next to his.
In the room, there was a bed, a table, a cabinet, and four chairs. There was nothing else. Fortunately, Tang Yin's ordinary life was very simple and casual, and wasn't suitable for it or not. At this moment, he was truly tired, and laid on the bed with his head down. He didn't even bother to take off his clothes, and was prepared to sleep for now.
He had just closed his eyes when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Tang Yin frowned and said.
The door opened, and Qiu Zhen and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in.
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen doubtfully, and asked silently.
Qiu Zhen laughed and said: "This is the doctor that General Zongzheng called."
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded his head and said to the doctor: "I only suffered from some minor injuries, I'm fine."
The middle-aged doctor did not seem to hear his words, he pulled over a chair and sat down on the side of the bed, then looked at Tang Yin's ribs and said: "General cannot be careless, if we do not treat this small injury quickly, it will become a fatal one. Furthermore, I think that General Tang's injuries are not really minor!" As he spoke, he untied the cloth that Tang Yin had tied around his waist.
Tang Yin was used to living alone, so he was not used to having physical contact with others.
Just as the middle-aged doctor's hand touched the strip of cloth, a glint of light flashed across his eyes. With a 'bang', he gripped the doctor's wrist. His face was as calm as water as he coldly stared at the other party.
He already had quite a bit of strength, and now that he had a spiritual energy cultivation base, the strength of his grip was extremely strong. The middle-aged doctor cried out in pain as his face contorted and he almost fell to the ground from the impact.
Qiu Zhen jumped in shock, and anxiously grabbed Tang Yin's arm, and said: "Big Brother Tang, the doctor has no ill intentions, he only helped look at your wounds, and furthermore, I do not know when the hundreds of thousands of Ning soldiers outside will begin attacking. If you do not take good care of your body, I am afraid that your hands and feet will be tied in battle!"
Hearing Qiu Zhen's words, Tang Yin thought for a moment, then slowly let go.
He put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and said, "Doctor, look!"
Although Tang Yin was stubborn, he was not a person who would not listen to his advice. He only wanted to see if the other party was accepted by him, since Qiu Zhen was the first person he had come into close contact with in this world. Furthermore, Qiu Zhen could sincerely and sincerely warn him, so even if he did not say it out loud, in his heart, he had already started to accept Qiu Zhen.
The middle-aged doctor's face turned unsightly. He shook his wrist, which was in pain and numbness, and lowered his head to look.
If it were anyone else, they would have turned hostile long ago, but Tang Yin was someone that Zongzheng cherished and was also the 'Nearest Minister' beside him, so he did not dare to offend them.
In Tang Yin's eyes, the two wounds below his ribs were nothing. If it really didn't work, he could also use up his own spirit energy to treat them, but in the eyes of the bystanders, these two wounds were simply fatal.
In the war, the most terrifying aspect of spears, spears, and other weapons was that they were hard to heal after being stabbed. Once pierced, the only thing left behind was a bloody hole, which would often cause the injured person to bleed to the point of death, while Tang Yin's wounds were deep and large, but the strange thing was that the bleeding had miraculously stopped.
He did not know that Tang Yin was the Spirit Cultivator of the Dark World, he only felt that his body was different from ordinary people.
Regardless of the middle-aged doctor's medical skills, the medicine he applied to the wound had a good effect, which made Tang Yin feel much better. The wound no longer had the stinging pain, and instead felt a cool sensation.
When the middle aged doctor finished treating the wound and bandaged it properly, Tang Yin nodded his head in thanks. Her fair and handsome face had a dense smile on it.
The middle-aged doctor sighed and said: "General Tang has suffered heavy injuries. It's best not to act rashly for the next half month, otherwise, his injuries will worsen.
"Thank you, sir, for your advice. I will remember it." Although Tang Yin said that he would agree on the surface, he didn't take it to heart.
"General Tang, I will take my leave first!"
"Sir, take care."
After the middle aged doctor left, Qiu Zhen stood by the bed with a solemn expression. He looked at Tang Yin and did not say a word.
Seeing that, Tang Yin laughed, waved his hand, and said: "Find a chair to sit on, don't be like a wooden stake to my side."
Tang Yin rarely said any witty words, but Qiu Zhen was not in the mood to joke around.
He faintly said, "The doctor said that your injuries are very serious."
Tang Yin said unconcernedly: "A doctor's best skill is to exaggerate."
Qiu Zhen tapped his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Big Brother Tang, the battle of Tong Gate has nothing to do with us, you might as well find General Wu to have a talk, and let her quickly leave the Tong Gate to return to the Yan City!"
He was indeed not too concerned about the battle with the Tong Gate, because it was none of his business, but to ask him to find Wu Mei for shelter was something he could not say. His eyes darted around as he chuckled, and leisurely said: "Wu Mei's guts wouldn't be greater than yours or mine. If she really couldn't defend her Tong Gate, she would choose to leave as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid …" Qiu Zhen muttered: "If General Zongzheng does not leave, General Wu will definitely accompany him with his life. It must be known that the relationship between General Zongzheng and the Wu Family is not ordinary.
Hearing that, Tang Yin suddenly became interested. He said: "There are some things that we don't have to worry about, whether or not we stay in the Tong Gate, someone will naturally make a decision, I am actually very curious about the matters inside the Imperial Court, it sounds like there are many contradictions between the powerful lords and officials, Qiu Zhen, if you understand the situation, tell me."
Qiu Zhen scratched his head and sighed: "This sounds really long..."
The four major powers in Feng Country were Ziyang Family, Liang Family, Wu Family and the Zhong Family. These four great families were more or less in charge of over half of the Feng Country's forces.
Ziyang Family Control: Fifteen regiments, with over one hundred and fifty thousand people. Patriarch Ziyang Haochun is a noble Great General with a title of Marquis; Liang Family Control: ten regiments, Chief Liang Xing resides on the left side, with a title of Marquis; Wu Family Control: eight divisions, including the second and third divisions, with Patriarch Wu Yu reigning in the Right Prime Minister, with a title of Marquis; Zhong Family controls six legions, with Chief Zhong Tian being the Chief General, with a title of Marquis.
Just the amount of troops controlled by the four great nobles already exceeded four hundred thousand. In addition, the direct subordinate army of the royal family was two hundred thousand, and there were also the local army of each county which was also approximately two hundred thousand. This was basically the total force of Feng Country.
This time, Ziyang Family sent out ten divisions, the royal family sent out six divisions, Wu Family also sent out four divisions to participate.
Two hundred thousand people attacked the Hedong Region with another surprise attack. They thought that they could easily win, but in the end, the Ning Country seemed to have already predicted this and secretly gathered a huge army of four hundred thousand inside the Hedong Region, setting up an inescapable net and, like a big mouth opening its mouth, completely surrounded the Feng Country army that had entered the Hedong Region.
The battle had begun in the Tomb of Hedong Region, and the two great army of two hundred thousand had been completely defeated. What happened next was the scene that Tang Yin encountered, where the survivors of Feng Country fled in the direction of Tong Gate, but along the way, they were chased and blocked by the Ning army. In truth, there were very few who managed to return to Tong Gate.
Tang Yin was considered to be quite lucky. Regardless of whether he was used by Wu Mei or not, if he didn't meet her, it would be very difficult for him to return to the Tong Gate.
To Feng Country, even though the losses in this battle were heavy, the vitality of the Feng Country was still there. What truly affected them the most was the status and the relationship between the four great nobles.
Even if they were to exhaust all their family's wealth, it would be very difficult to rebuild it again. The Ziyang Family would undoubtedly change from the strongest of the Four Great Imperial Clans to the weakest, and most importantly, the Feng King would never again place so much trust in the Ziyang Family as before.
Although the loss of Wu Family was equally heavy, rebuilding the four legions was relatively easier, and Wu Family was not the initiator of the war after all. Feng King would not punish them too severely.
After this battle, Liang Family that fought back then would definitely receive the praise and great importance of the Feng King. Now, Liang Family with ten legions under their control was already the strongest amongst the four great nobles. As for the Zhong Family, they had never had any desires, but with the decline of their Ziyang Family, they would naturally grow stronger.
After listening to Qiu Zhen's description and analysis, Tang Yin finally had a rough understanding of the situation of Feng Country.
His eyes shone as he stared at Qiu Zhen, smiling without saying a word.
Qiu Zhen was a little uncomfortable from his gaze, he subconsciously touched his face and asked: "What's wrong?"
Tang Yin laughed: "I suddenly remembered that your prediction was very accurate."
"Forecast?"
"You said it before, Ning Country would definitely not let go of this opportunity and take advantage of it to attack Tong Gate. In fact, you were right.
"Ha ha!" Qiu Zhen laughed lightly, and said with profound eyes: "The Ning Country has obviously been prepared. Killing our two hundred thousand strong army is only the first step, taking over the Tong Gate is the second step, after that, I'm afraid we have to directly take the Yan City." After pausing for a moment, he lowered his voice and whispered into Tang Yin's ears, "I dare to conclude that there is a Ning Country spy inside the Imperial Court. At the very least, there must be someone colluding with the Ning Country!"
