Chapter 250 This news... is quite explosive!
Qin Yu nodded his chin slightly, his eyes sweeping across the dozen or so fire tubes lined up in the distance. His expression tensed, and he asked anxiously, "Is everything all right in the east?"
Yan Wanwan's lips curled up into a smile, and she said firmly, "Don't worry. My father and brother are guarding over there. A mere barbarian will never be able to get in."
She knew in her heart that the defenses of these five cities had long been impregnable due to her careful deployment. A few artillery shells would be enough to defeat those barbarians. What kind of trouble could they cause?
Hearing this, Qin Yu's heart finally settled down, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that nothing happened!" If something really went wrong, how could she feel at ease when she led so many guns and soldiers to support her.
The golden wound medicine was very effective. The medicine that had just been sprinkled on it had stopped the bleeding. He stood up tremblingly, and Ling Ying in the city immediately rushed out.
"General!"
Qin Yu raised his hand to stop him, "I'm fine, take the brothers back to the city for treatment first."
Ling Ying stepped forward worriedly, only to find that the wounds on the general's chest and arms were actually showing signs of healing, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
"General, what medicine are you using? Could you give me some?"
Qin Yu immediately looked at Yan Wanwan, who without hesitation tossed two wrist-sized porcelain bottles towards him. Yan Wanwan casually said, "The medicine inside is enough for a thousand people."
Ling Ying was overjoyed. He knew that Madam had something good in her hands, and he subconsciously replied, "Thank you, Madam!"
Yan Wanwan immediately glanced at him, and he felt a chill on his back. He quickly changed his tone and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Qin Yu's eyes were dark and unclear, and he winked at him, telling him to get out immediately. Ling Ying immediately led his men towards the city.
Yan Wanwan and he did not return to the city immediately. Instead, they stood outside the city and looked into the distance. "The Prince of Dongping has already led his troops to the battle in person. The three armies should arrive in the west in the next two days."
Qin Yu was stunned. "What is he doing here?"
"Those cowardly ministers pushed him out. How can he control the dynasty if he doesn't drive away those barbarians?" Yan Wanwan sneered. She couldn't understand why he had to listen to those arrogant guys since he possessed the supernatural powers of a zombie. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take advantage of the fact that Daxia was leaderless and directly declare himself king?
It’s true, every man has a dream of becoming an emperor!
Qin Yu glanced at her secretly, "Why did you suddenly want to come and help me?"
"Me? The fighting in the east is over. If I don't come over, those bastards will start to encircle you. It's better for me to go over directly and kill them to avoid trouble in the future." Yan Wanwan said it as a matter of course, without feeling that there was anything wrong.
Qin Yu listened and the corners of his mouth twitched violently twice. This guy is really...straightforward!
"Thank you!" No matter what, she came to help me, there was no reason for me not to even say thank you.
Yan Wanwan waved her hand. There was no need for any of this nonsense between them. She got straight to the point and asked, "What are your plans now?"
Qin Yu pondered for a moment, "It's definitely not possible to confront them head-on now, but we can exert some strength from behind them."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Yan Wanwan immediately became interested and asked curiously.
Qin Yu's method is very simple. The seven countries are an alliance on the surface, but there are conflicts between them. If he can arouse the suspicion of the seven countries, then there will be a chance for their alliance to collapse. At that time, the so-called alliance will be like a joke and vulnerable.
Yan Wanwan nodded, believing this method was feasible. He then said, "The Qiang leader is fond of other people's wives. He stole the concubine of the Huairou monarch and now keeps her in the army. While they're discussing matters, these two men are having sex in a separate room. He's also had affairs with concubines from the Khitan and Jurchen kingdoms, and they often have in-depth conversations with them."
Qin Yu: "..."
What a thunderous start! Is it really necessary to be so explosive? His little heart can't bear this.
"How... did you know?" At this moment, he was extremely curious about Yan Wanwan's information network. How did she find out such secret things?
Yan Wanwan glanced at him and said, "Why do you care so much? With this news, at least these four countries will not be able to cooperate properly. The other three countries are of average strength. With the cooperation of our three forces, defeating them will be a piece of cake."
Three forces?
Qin Yu didn't hear anything else, but she heard this clearly. She also included the Prince of Dongping in it. How could she believe in the strength of a commoner whom she had never heard of?
"Okay, I'll go find someone to spread the news."
Yan Wanwan stopped him again, "Well... I'm a bit pressed for time. Although your method is feasible, it's too slow to show results. I have a faster and more effective method."
Qin Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Oh? You say."
The two of them immediately put their heads together and whispered to each other. Soon, Qin Yu showed an expression of disbelief, "Is what you said useful?"
Yan Wanwan patted his shoulder and said soothingly, "Don't worry! I've already anticipated this and will act tonight, but we'll also use your method. The more muddy the water, the better."
Qin Yu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Soon, several light cavalry ran out of the city quietly. A day passed in a flash and night fell soon.
At this moment, in the camp of the Seven-Nation Alliance fifty miles away, the candlelight in the tent was flickering, illuminating seven faces with different expressions.
Qiang leader Gesang slammed his desk and stood up, saying, "Tomorrow at 1 a.m., our Qiang warriors will lead the charge! We must storm the city gates in one fell swoop!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the tent.
Immediately afterwards, a Huairou guard rushed in in a panic and whispered something in the Huairou monarch's ear. The Huairou monarch's face suddenly changed, and he stood up and grabbed Gesang by the collar: "Gesang! How dare you hide my beloved concubine!"
Gesang's face froze, then he pretended to be calm: "You...what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How dare you quibble!" King Huairou was furious. He pulled out a silk handkerchief embroidered with twin lotus flowers from his bosom. "This handkerchief was given to my beloved concubine as a token of love, and now I found it in the tent of your personal guards!"
The Khitan King's expression changed upon hearing this: "Wait...why does the scent of this handkerchief resemble the incense my queen often uses?"
The Jurchen leader suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "Gesang! My princess disappeared for three days last month. Could it be you who did this?!"
The tent was in chaos, and Gesang was surrounded by the monarchs of the three kingdoms, unable to defend himself.
In the chaos, no one noticed that several dark shadows were moving silently around the camp.
At this moment, screams suddenly came one after another from outside the tent.
"Fire! The granary is on fire!"
"The stables are on fire too!"
"There's an assassin! Protect the king!"
Outside the tent, a howling cold wind blew, carrying with it a blanket of dust, like a sandstorm sweeping across the sky.
The few people who had just walked out were immediately choked back, muttering angrily, "What is this? A sandstorm?"
A soldier who had lived on the border for many years replied, "Your Majesty, it's pollen. It's there every year at this time, but there's especially much today."
After saying that, he couldn't help coughing twice.
"What are you still doing here? Go put out the fire!"
