An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 294 The Confrontation (Part Two)

The north of Jing river was a continuous mountain. Although the mountain was not high, many trees

covered it, which was good for hiding. There were lots of arrows shot from the other side toward the

army of the state of Xia on the bridge. They was deadly injured for a while.

Xia Houyan stated coldly, "all of you, continue to cross the river. There are six hundred and fifty

thousand soldiers in my army. I don't believe that he will not shoot at all of them. After we cross the

river, I will burn mountains with fire and make it impossible for them to escape even if they had wings to

fly! "

However, after they went into the river, the Xia army did lose a lot of people. The original troops of six

hundred and fifty thousand people was cut down by nearly one hundred thousand. Liu Yinfeng

reckoned that the reserve of arrows in the army was not too much, so the defense of the troops might

be running out.

It was impossible for Xia Houyan to launched the fire he wanted. As the forest was wet, it was hard to

get a hot flame. He could force the enemy to come out through the thick smoke. But they was not

skillful enough. If he set fire on the mountain and it backfired, he would be in great danger.

"Then what should we do? Just wait here?" Xia Houyan became a little irritable. He hurriedly went to

the Jingyang City, but he had not slept for two nights. He had thought that there were two hundred and

fifty thousand soldiers outside of the Jingyang City, and together with his four hundred thousand

people, he would be able to annihilate the Ning's army before the reinforcements came. However,

when he arrived at the Jingyang city, one and another situation took place.

First, lady Jing used some means to drown a hundred thousand soldiers in the Jing River, which not

only caused the pool to be watered for a long time, but also gave Prince Jing a way out. Then Prince

Jing set fire to the Jingyang City, and now the fire in Jingyang city had not been extinguished, he was

afraid that after the fire is burnt out, nothing is left. There was another thing, Lord Hua Guo who was

watching them in the camp. He would have tied the old chief and his men to keep an eye on him in

case that he would cause a riot if he didn't know Lord Hua Guo was so prestigious in the army.

Liu Yinfeng lapsed into silence for a while, and then walked back and forth in the camp he had

temporarily built. He finally said, "we have a solution. The Jingyang city was destroyed, and all the

people in it must have been placed by Prince Jing. If we can find out the place where the people in it

have been placed, we can take the common people as hostage."

"We are just waiting for someone to find them? What if we can't find them? "

"It's easy to find them. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Jingyang City, and the targets

are not small. They are not as ordinary as soldiers, and there are all old, weak women and children.

They won't walk too fast. It must be near, and it should be easy to find them. Besides, I have just

looked carefully around. There are no other rivers and lakes beside the Jingyang city. And the people in

the city are usually fetched from well and water. Now we are near the riverside and there are so many Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

people waiting for water. We have our men to protect the river and cut off their water. We'll see how

long they can hold on. " Liu Yinfeng smiled blandly, but his smile was a little bit cold.

Xia Houyan laughed when he heard his words. "Ha ha, I've forgotten about it. Well, water is a must for

everyone. I'd like to see how long he can hold on."

At this time, Yun Shang was close to the Jingyang city with her army, as she did not know what was

going on in the Jingyang city, so she ordered to encampment not far from it. On the one hand, she

could send her secret guards to inquire about the situation of Prince Jing. On the other hand, she could

wait for the reinforcements behind.

"Your Highness, you've been walking back and forth in the camp for a long time. Sit down and take a

rest." Qian Yin said gently.

Yun Shang sighed, "Qian Yin, I can't calm down. I can't think about what Xia's army will do or how

Prince Jing will deal with it. I can't settle down."

Qian Yin looked at Yun Shang in bewilderment. She was just merely a secret guard, who had been

chosen to the palace for several years, and knew nothing about the war. After a moment of silence,

Qian Yin said, "isn't the old man brought by the prince in the camp? His highness is very polite to him. I

suppose he is a capable man. Why don't you ask him about the plans? "

Hearing this, Yun Shang's eyes brightened. "you are right, how can I forget Mr. Qing Cang? Hurry up,

bring my cloak and I'll go to his camp to talk with him."

When Yun Shang arrived at Qing Cang's camp, he was playing chess with himself. Seeing her, he

smiled and said, "I think you should come sooner or later. Why don't you sit with me to play?"

Yun Shang shook her head. "My mind is in a mess now. I don't want to play chess."

"Your dark guards have not returned yet, and you don't even know what's happening in the Jingyang

city. It's useless to worry about it." Then he placed another piece on the table.

Yun Shang meditated in silence for a moment, but she knew that he was telling the truth. No matter

what, she had to wait for the news to make a decision. Thinking of this, she walked over and sat down.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, she picked up the white and dropped it.

Yun Shang calmed down gradually. Before the chess was finished, Qian Yin came in. "Your Highness,

the shadow guard is back."
