The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2341: Chapter 2341: What Should Be Done (6)

Fortunately, after Dao Xuzi had a solid night’s sleep, he began his work the next day. That day, Yong You and his two fellow disciples arrived and brought a considerable amount of medicine, giving the soldiers in the camp renewed hope. Those who were merely waiting for death no longer had to die, and those who faced the prospect of lifelong disability now had a hope for recovery.

A few days later, Zhang Changyang and Nian Qianqian also arrived, bringing with them a great deal of medicinal materials, lifting the soldiers’ spirits even higher.

The Nanzhao Palace.

The old king, Cheng Zengping, drank the medicinal broth brought by the Imperial Physician, then waved his hand.

The Imperial Physician, along with the palace maids and eunuchs around the palace, all withdrew, leaving only one person to guard the bed.

”Old Ninth, you must understand your father’s painstaking efforts, right?” Cheng Zengping exhaled, ”Among your five brothers, you are the one I have high hopes for, but the strength of the Fourth and Seventh brothers surpasses yours.” Therefore, only by using the war to deplete those two forces and by keeping those two tied up at the border can Old Ninth successfully ascend to the throne.

Chen Tianzhao, known as Old Ninth, nodded, ”Father, don’t worry, I will certainly become a good king of Nanzhao.”

”However...” Cheng Zengping’s face showed a trace of sadness, ”I didn’t expect that our northern expedition would be exploited by Miaojiang and the Flame Sect.”

”Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother are capable; they should be fine.” Old Ninth quickly reassured his father, ”Don’t think about it too much now, just take a rest.”

Cheng Zengping nodded and then closed his eyes.

After leaving the old king’s bedroom, Chen Tianzhao’s expression turned grim, and he called over his confidant, ”Notify our people to take action.”

The confidant cupped his hands, then turned and disappeared.

Chen Tianzhao’s lips curled slightly, ”Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, you have fought valiantly for Nanzhao Country, and in the end, sacrificed your lives. Rest assured, younger brother will give you a proper burial and will ensure your wives and children join you, so you can enjoy family bliss together.”

Brothers, there’s no need to thank your younger brother too much; this is what I should do.

Meanwhile, in the command tent of another camp at the border, the masked Flame and Jin Yuka sat facing each other.

Flame’s expression did not reveal much, but his posture was upright, indicating a strong and robust physique. In contrast, Jin Yuka appeared so frail and gaunt that he seemed to be barely standing, yawning occasionally, looking like a heavy smoker.

”See? I said we would cooperate.” Flame smiled and gave a light tap on the table with his fingers.

”Flame, I was narrow-minded before.” Jin Yuka raised his wine cup as a gesture, took a sip, but seemed uncomfortable, covering his mouth as he yawned.

”Now that we have King Yun in our hands, what happens next is straightforward. Once we break through Dian City, we will have breached Daxuan’s southern defense line and can advance northward. It won’t be long before we reach Beijing.” Flame laughed heartily, ”And we will be the most justified righteous army.” Initially, I planned to find the treasure of King Kang before taking further actions, but if we miss out on such a golden opportunity as Nanzhao’s campaign against Daxuan, who knows when we will encounter such a chance again.

Jin Yuka yawned again and sniffled, ”Right... Flame, could you spare me some of that Divine Incense? I’m out, and it’s really unbearable.”
