Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

He sighed and said quietly, "I have caught them all. I will behead them all tomorrow. This kind of thing will never happen again in the city."

I consoled him, "Don't blame yourself too much. According to the number we planned, no one will starve to death. It's just that they are anxious in advance, and there are also those bad people who have no conscience... Alas!"

Tu Shanjing lowered his eyes: "So I changed my plan to leave the city tomorrow morning. I will bring back the supplies, and then I will be captured by Xiangliu and the others when I am left behind."

Even though I knew the plan ahead of time, I couldn't help but worry: "Okay...are you sure everything's okay?"

He nodded and said, "It's okay. I have already sent a message to His Highness Xuanxuan. He will arrive earlier."

I bit my lip and said, "Well...it's already so late, you should go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow. Take care! Tell me if there's anything."

He nodded: "Don't worry, it's almost over. You should go to bed early too." Then he turned away.

His long, smooth hair swung around his waist.

My heart tightened as I watched him walk into the darkness that the candlelight could not reach.

Although the plan is well-thought-out, there are too many uncertainties on the battlefield. I can only pray that there will be no complications until the last moment.

Early the next morning, Tu Shanjing successfully left the city and brought back the scarce vegetables and meat, and was captured as planned.

The people who didn't know the truth were in an uproar, talking about it one after another: "The dignified Prince Qingqiu was also captured?!"

"Hey! You don't know, that nine-headed snake monster is very powerful. It is said that each of its nine heads has a green face and fangs, and it can bite from all directions. Young Master Qingqiu is just a skinny young man. I saw him when I was distributing porridge that day. Do you think you can beat that nine-headed monster?!"

"What about Master Fenglong? Isn't Master Qingqiu his best friend? Should he restrain himself in this war?"

"What if Chen Rongjun kills Master Qingqiu..."

"No way! The Tushan clan of Qingqiu is so big and powerful that the Great Wilderness would shake if they stomped their feet. Even His Majesty the King of Xiyan and the King of Haoling would have to think carefully if they wanted to touch him. This time, Young Master Qingqiu just happened to be in the city and he had never done anything against the Chenrong Army. How could they just kill him?"

"Bah! What's the point of killing or not?! The meat you are chewing was brought back by someone who risked his life. Instead of praying for them, you keep killing them. Do you have any conscience at all?!"

"Alas! We are discussing this because we care about him! He is wholeheartedly serving the people, so of course we should pray for him!"

While I was giving alms, I could hear their discussions. I felt my heart was in chaos and my hands were weak.

Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do at this moment except pray like them.

On the third day, the army of Xuanxuan took the old warships parked outside Chishui City and broke through from the water. Fenglong in the city also drove the new warships, cooperating with the inside and outside.

Xiangliu, the nine-headed sea monster who was skilled in water skills, was guarding the important prisoner Tu Shanjing at this time, so Chen Rong's army was unable to fight back.

Fortunately, His Highness Xuanxuan had no hobby of slaughter, and was also concerned about the Prince of Qingqiu in the hands of Chen Rong’s army, so the two sides temporarily ceased fire and sat down to discuss peace.

There were also heated arguments in the Xiyan court. Some advocated sacrificing Tu Shanjing to wipe out the remnants of Chen Rong's army in one fell swoop, while others strongly opposed it, saying that this move would greatly lose the support of the people, and that their military strength was not greatly damaged, but they were only temporarily lost because of His Highness Xuan Xuan's preemptive move. If the nine-headed demon came back, it would be difficult to wipe it out, not to mention that there were other masters in the army.

Finally, King Xiyan waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing! Just follow what Xuanxuan reported and bring them all back to Chaoyun Peak to sit down and talk!"

So Xiangliu and Guifangduan held Tushan Jing hostage one in front and one behind, and Fenglong took me and flew back to Chaoyun Peak with Xuan.

The lover of Princess Hao Ling was captured, so she naturally came here. Although they had not announced it to the world, there were many eyes and ears in the palace, and there was no shortage of spies. Someone had already spread the news, so everyone in the Xiyan court had already known Xiao Yao when they saw her.

After all, the King of Xiyan is a man of deep scheming. He is still able to host a banquet to entertain our uninvited guests from afar. Yue Liang is not as magnanimous as him. He strokes the cloth wrapped around his abdomen and stands at the table with an angry face. Shi Ran sits beside him and mutters, "Why does the Young Master Qingqiu look a little familiar?"

King Xiyan's sharp eyes swept over everyone at the table, raised his finger and pointed at me and asked, "Xuan, who is she?"

Xuan bowed and said, "Grandfather, this is Miss Lanxiang, Master Qingqiu's... friend."

King Xiyan stroked his beard and said, "Oh? Which family? Why haven't I heard of her? Why did you bring her here?"

Xuanxuan replied: "To answer Grandpa, she is not from any noble family. She is just an ordinary person. She was originally a maid in Tushan Mansion. I brought her here because the leader of Guifang tribe listens to her."

King Xi Yan showed a hint of surprise and said, "Oh? How can you, an ordinary woman, control the leader of the Guifang tribe?"

I bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I was able to use some luck and trickery to trick the leader of the Guifang clan into falling into my trap. I took the opportunity to force him to swear an oath to promise me three things."

King Xiyan smiled and said, "Are the maids of Tushan family so cunning? Then how did the master of Tushan family fall into the trap?"

Tu Shanjing stood beside Xiangliu and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, my body is damaged and my spiritual power is not as good as before. On that day, the cannibalism incident occurred in the city, and it was extremely urgent. I temporarily left the city to transport supplies back and accidentally met Xiangliu. I really didn't fight him and was defeated. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table began to talk about it. They thought that it was because they had lived in the peaceful Xiyan City for a long time, and barbaric things like cannibalism were long gone from them.

King Xiyan shook his hand: "Forget it, you are also working for my people in the Central Plains. There are not many who can beat him."

Then he turned to Xiang Liu: "Your conditions have been reported to me by Xuan Xuan. Can you promise not to cause trouble when you return to the old Chenrong territory?"

Xiang Liu snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, if we go back, we will be deep in the enemy's hinterland. If we plan to cause trouble, we will be surrounded by Xiyan. Who is more dangerous for you or for us? We came here with sincerity."

The man dressed as a civil servant shouted, "How dare you! How dare you be disrespectful to His Majesty?!"

Xiangliu looked over and his eyes turned deep red. The civil servant quickly shrank behind the table, not daring to look up.

Xiangliu's eyes instantly turned back to black. He raised a glass of wine and drank it by himself. He said with ease: "Your Majesty, I am a demon and I don't know any rules. If Your Majesty wants to negotiate peace with me, I will come to negotiate. If Your Majesty wants to continue fighting, I will also accompany you."

King Xiyan smiled: "You, great demon, have a temper that suits my taste, and you have courage! Everyone, what do you think?"
