In the following three days of confrontation between the two sides, each side won and lost.

But Haoyue soon ran into problems - insufficient troops.

Although Situ Yidong and his men were well-rested and had made adequate preparations in advance, they were still finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the overwhelming numbers of the other side.

"Where are General Situ and the others?" Situ Yidun asked Xiao Nuo during a short break.

"The news I received yesterday said that they still have two cities to go before they can reach Suzhou, and it will take at least five days to enter Liuzhou Prefecture." Xiao Nuo calculated carefully based on the letter and replied, "Master, what should we do in the next five days?"

"Don't make this public in advance. We must hold out until General Situ arrives, even if we have to fight to the death." As long as they can hold out until Situ Yixu arrives with his troops, the motley crowd in Yin Country will have nothing to fear.

Hearing this, Xiao Nuo opened her mouth and looked at the young master who was bandaging his wound, her eyes red with anxiety.

Meixiang, who was busy at the medical school with Doctor Wang and four other gentlemen, felt distressed when she saw the wounded being carried in continuously in the past few days, and she couldn't help but start to worry secretly.

Now every soldier is their treasure. Before the arrival of the increasing army, every additional wounded soldier on the battlefield will reduce Haoyue's chance of winning.

From the first day of shouting and screaming, the people of Liuzhou Prefecture gradually learned that the two sides had started fighting, even though no notice was posted in the government office.

Later, more and more people voluntarily joined the team to help. Some worked in logistics, some came to the medical school, and even some young people spontaneously organized to go to the front line.

Because every young and middle-aged man in Liuzhou Prefecture has participated in training in recent years, their joining has slightly relieved Situ Yidong's pressure.

This day was destined to be an eventful day, and it was also the day when the lives of Meixiang and Situ Yidong turned around again.

Situ Yidong and his men gritted their teeth and held on for two more days. On the fifth day of the war, Captain Li and his men were all injured. Seeing the decreasing number of soldiers, everyone began to get anxious.

Before noon, they repelled the attack of Yin State again. During the break, Shen Duwei of Suzhou leaned against the rocks on the mountain, panting and asked, "Master Situ, when will the imperial reinforcements arrive? If we continue like this, it will be difficult for us to hold on."

"Don't worry. I just received news that General Situ will arrive with a large army in one or two days. If we grit our teeth and hold on for the next two days, we will win." Situ Yidun said firmly as he looked at the people who were cleaning up the battlefield.

Among the people who came to help today were women, children and the elderly. Touching the bracelet on his left wrist, Situ Yidong's expression became more determined.

He couldn't help but think of the night before he left. He had already made an agreement with Meixiang that after winning the war, they would return to the capital and ask the emperor to grant them a marriage.

At this time, Meixiang, who was bandaging her wound in the medical school, received an exciting news. Meiying personally brought people to find her.

"Say it again?" Meixiang scratched her ears in disbelief.

The man smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. Although he was extremely tired, he still answered again in a loud voice: "Captain Chen asked his subordinates to come to ask Miss, they have opened up the road to the Hidden Country. Now they are less than a mile away from their tribe. What should we do next?"

"Did you alarm the other party?"

"no!"

"Okay, okay!" Mei Xiang clapped her hands excitedly. She would discuss with Situ Yidong and the others later and find a suitable opportunity to take people to destroy their lair. Let's see how the eldest prince can still be so arrogant!

"Thank you for your hard work. Meiying, take him downstairs to rest first. We will make a decision after discussion." Meixiang turned around and instructed Meiying, "Send someone else to inform Brother Chu Zeshi, Cousin Zhen, and Brother Situshi, and ask them to make time to return to the Liu Mansion tonight."

Before he finished speaking, he thought of the current situation and changed the subject: "If Brother Situ Shi can't leave, we can hold the meeting in Dangkou."

"Yes," Meixiang turned around and started to make arrangements.

After a while, Meiying turned back to Meixiang with an unusual expression, followed by Xiao Nuo who looked at a loss.

"You're back so soon?" He turned his eyes and saw someone who was following closely behind Mei Ying and shouldn't be here at this time. "Xiao Nuo, why are you here at this time when you're not with your master? What does your master want you to do?"

Seeing Meixiang, Xiao Nuo instantly found her backbone. She could no longer hold on and burst into tears, "Miss, please go and save our Master."

"Help? What happened to your young master? Is he injured?" Meixiang opened her eyes wide and asked anxiously, "Finish your words before you cry!"

After six days of exhaustion and extreme mental stress, Xiao Nuo could only hold on until now, and he could no longer speak.

The other middle-aged man who came in with them finally had the chance to stand up and kneel down in front of Meixiang. "I am Jiang Qi, the deputy general under General Situ. I am here to see the princess. I am late. Please punish me, princess!"

Meixiang suppressed her inner panic, calmed herself, clenched her fists, and secretly reminded herself not to panic. She met Meiying's worried eyes, nodded slightly, and then turned her gaze to the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground.

"General Jiang Qi, please stand up and answer first. Tell us in detail what is going on." After saying that, he turned around and led the way to the room next door for temporary rest.

Mei Ying first quickly found Xiao San who was taking care of the wounded, and asked her to put down everything she was doing and go take care of the young lady.

Then he settled Xiao Nuo, thought for a moment, turned around, left the medical school, and rode his horse towards the government office.

It turned out that after noon today, the Yin country army attacked again. Situ Yidong led the team to meet them. When they were about to repel the enemy, who knew that the southeast wind suddenly changed direction and became northwest wind.

Soma, who had been waiting for a long time, took the opportunity to have someone spread the drug. Situ Yidong, the two captains Li and Shen who were in the front, and many Haoyue soldiers were not careful and were drugged and fell to the ground.

Without a leader, Haoyue's army was in chaos. When it seemed that defeat was imminent, the sound of horse hooves came from behind Haoyue. Jiang Qi arrived in time with 10,000 forced troops and stabilized the situation.

However, Situ Yidong was abducted back to the enemy camp by Soma, who had been eyeing him for a long time.

After hearing what happened, by the time Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng arrived at the medical school, Meixiang had calmed down and a rescue plan had gradually taken shape in her mind.

This kind of strong psychological quality can't help but make people respect and admire it.

In front of the Holy Maiden Hall, the three elders who sensed something unusual stood in front of the side hall one by one and looked in the direction of the Holy Maiden Hall.

The Holy Maiden Temple, which had been silent for many years, seemed to sense something and began to emit a faint golden light.
