ulders and looked at the physician who was walking towards him: "Doctor He, how is the Ninth Prince's condition"He Taiyi sighed and clasped his hands together, saying: "Replying to the Eighth Prince,...Chapter 1414: Breaching the City, Victory in Sight

After Zhou Changshou finished speaking, he waited for a long time but did not receive a response from Zhou Ping'an.

He turned his head and saw Zhou Ping'an staring at him with a sinister look in his eyes.

"What are you looking at me like that for" Zhou Changshou said unhappily.

He felt provoked by Zhou Ping'an's animalistic gaze.

Zhou Ping smiled softly and said, “You still say you have no story with Cai He”

When Zhou Changshou heard this, his face changed. He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "I don't know what you're talking about!"

After finishing his words, Zhou Changshou rode his horse to the front.

Zhou Ping'an watched Zhou Changshou flee in embarrassment, but he did not pursue him or make a scene. He just had a heavy expression on his face.

Even now, he didn't think the Prince's decision to suppress Buddhism at this time was a good one. He even had a feeling that suppressing Buddhism would lead to major consequences.

He raised his gaze to the vast expanse of sky. The endless expanse of yellow sand stretched before him, bathed in sunshine on a day that should have been crisp with autumn. However, this far northwest region was experiencing an uncharacteristic heatwave. Despite the clear skies, Zhou Ping's eyes held a sense of gloom and foreboding, as if a storm was brewing.

At this moment, Xu Wei came up to the front inside the carriage.

"Your Highness, the woman named Caihe has also arrived."

Li Chen responded with a hum, his gaze remaining fixed on the book. In a languid tone, he said, "Let Zhou Changshou and her meet."

Xu Wei thought for a moment and cautiously said, "Your Highness, the East Factory has a kind of medicine, colorless and odorless, which can control people's minds invisibly. Even if it is discovered, it doesn't matter because there is no antidote."

Li Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Wei. He picked up the book in his hand and slapped it on Xu Wei's forehead, rebuking him with displeasure: "Stop thinking about things that don't exist all day long, go down and do your job properly!"

Xu Wei chuckled and hurriedly left.

Out of the carriage, Xu Wei still touched his forehead. Although he had been scolded by His Highness, he knew that even if he came up with a bad idea, His Highness was not truly angry. Perhaps he was quite satisfied that he always thought about His Highness's well-being, just that the effort went in the wrong direction.

As the caravan sped toward Yueyaguan, within thirty miles of its gates, inside the Liao army camp...

Yelü Shenxuan's eyes were like lightning as he looked in the direction of Yueya Pass City Wall in the distance. He raised his head and drank a gulp of strong liquor, then turned to the group of imposing generals behind him and growled, "It has been almost a month, and we haven't even touched the gates of Yueya Pass!"

Several generals stood in silence.

They stood up one by one, all high-ranking officers of the Liao army who were renowned for their prowess. Each man had the lives of countless Qin soldiers on his hands, yet in the face of Yelü Shenxuan, they dared not even breathe.

"Your Highness, the Yueya Pass is at its weakest point. As long as we put in one last push, we can definitely break through their defenses!" a general said with gritted teeth.

"Yehli Shenxuan said coldly, “Seven days ago, you told me the same thing, but what happened Now we're still standing here. Do you know how many battle reports the Wolf Court has sent asking for updates How can I explain this to our father Khan”

"Tell him, half a month ago we were thirty miles outside Yueya Guan City. In half a month, will we still be drinking the northwest wind here!"

Another general spoke up, "According to the scouts' reports, the reason we suffered a setback seven days ago was because the second batch of reinforcements from Qin had arrived at Yueya Pass. Now, after seven days of intense fighting, their supplies are running very low. We can say that the entire Yueya Pass is in dire straits, with exhausted troops and dwindling resources. As long as we put in just a little more effort, capturing the city will be imminent!" Your Highness, could you perhaps allow this king to return to the military camp""What's the rush"Li Chen waved his hand, he naturally couldn't let King Ning go back so easily.Once the King Ning and t...
