1345 News Back to Capital
Sword One was completely confused.
If Doctor Yinghan couldn’t cure him, nor could Li Qing or Yu Feng, only Elder Miss was able to heal him. Duke North was very badly injured and if her Elder Miss did not check up on him, maybe something would happen.
Gu Chaoyan said calmly, “I cured him so I know what will happen. And he should be fine.”
“…”
!!
“One more thing, if something really happened, the guard would have been more anxious rather than guilty.”
“…”
“So I don’t think that it is necessary for me to go there,” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
Sword One thought about it and believed her.
She had not thought it through, but Elder Miss was always a very observant person.
Sword One smiled, got up and prepared a fireplace and small snacks for her Elder Miss, who must be very tired and hungry by this point.
***
In the capital.
General Huangpu sent the message about the victory at Xinzhou as soon as possible, but the news did not arrive until the following day.
The messenger was very fast when he came to pass on the message. He expected to get awarded for passing on the message of victory.
The King was seated on the throne with Zhou Huailing next to him. They looked very serious.
Seeing the messenger, the King nodded expressionlessly. “Just say the news.”
Zhou Huailing looked at the messenger. They might have a serious look on their faces, but they were quite relaxed inwardly.
He knew pretty well what was going on at the border. They had sent very few soldiers to help, and Lord Huai was always idling about, and was not at all qualified for being a chief. He was just not a match against him. Therefore, he knew pretty well what the news would be.
Xinzhou must have been lost and the casualties were very serious.
His Eighth Brother would suffer as well. He loved errands, right? Now he did have some and he managed to ruin it so he was never going to get any again in the future.
Zhou Huailing was playing with his ring and looked as if he already knew everything.
“King, we have managed to keep Xinzhou. The North Qi invaded us twice, but failed with large losses. At Xinzhou, they lost almost 10,000 soldiers and dozens of magical monsters were killed outside the gate.” The messenger looked incredibly happy as he delivered the message. It was so wonderful that they won the battles and he might even get awarded as the messenger, thus he felt quite happy.
The words had just been spoken when both the King and Zhou Huailing were startled.
Especially Zhou Huailing, who was wearing a look of disbelief. “How could that be possible!”
“Crown Prince, it is true. Lord Huai is excellent as the chief and Lady Chaoyan is even better. She made all the plans! Our lost towns will soon be reclaimed if we continue to work like this!”
Hearing that, Zhou Huailing gave him a kick and glared at him. The soldier was so shocked and frightened after he received the kick.
Zhou Huailing kicked the man into a coma.
Only after that did he feel better.
The King said nothing upon seeing Zhou Huailing’s move. He was surprised too.
His Eighth Son was lucky enough to keep Xinzhou?!
“De Fu, write the imperial order and bring Lord Huai and Gu Chaoyan home now!”
