ing something to you"“Of course, I remember, he always said a few days later a few days later.” Feng Lingxi pouted, wronged. “He doesn’t let people eat, Ayan is dead bad.”Xiaoli hurriedly comforted, "..."Let's go take a look," Feng Lingxi couldn't fall asleep after hearing that the medicinal herbs were running low. She had to go and count how many medicinal herbs there were to feel at ease.

Xiao Li saw the Princess leave and hurriedly chased after her, "Your Highness, please rest first. I'll count the medicinal herbs and let you know when I'm finished..."

Before he could finish his words, the clamor ahead interrupted him. Feng Lingxi looked at the crowd ahead and walked towards them.

What happened

Those soldiers, seeing the wind and frost, hurriedly bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, it's the people in the city who picked wild Jiangzi on the mountain. They fed it to the horses, resulting in the loss of more than ten horses that can't stand."

"Wait, you just said Jiangzi"

Wind Ling's eyes lit up, and the soldiers, bewildered, nodded dumbly at her question.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it's Jiangzi. That thing is so potent, even a horse would die if it ate it."

Jiangzi, this is another name for croton oil, a powerful laxative with great toxicity and numerous uses.

"Just now you said there were many Jiangzi on the mountain"

Feng Lingxi pursued and asked, the soldiers hurriedly nodded, "Your Highness, there are many wild herbs on the nearby mountains, and doctors in the city also collect some. But with so many now, if they're not handled properly, it could be fatal."

"I want all these waterways, take as many as there are. Xiaoli, you handle this."

Feng Lingxi ordered, her eyes shining with delight. She never expected that even in the midst of withered branches, there could be such a good thing.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with so many Jiangzi"

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the soldiers, Feng Lingxi's eyes flickered with a hint of calculation, "Of course, it will be of great use."

"Xiao Li, I'll leave this to you. Tell the people to bring any medicinal herbs they have to me. I'll take as much as they have." Feng Ling Xi finished her instructions and looked at the stunned soldiers. She then said to Xiao Li, "Remember to give me the list after you finish sorting through the medicinal herbs. I'm going back to rest."

With these children around, she could sleep soundly.

Xiao Li came back to her senses and looked at Sun, the deputy general beside her, "Deputy General Sun, I trouble you to find people to purchase Jiangzi and see how many there are."

Sun, the deputy general, came to his senses and immediately took his men to attend to matters. Little Li went to count the medicinal herbs. She was busy until noon when she had her lunch break before finally finishing the count of the medicinal herbs.

"Report!"

Dugu Cheng raised his head, looked at the incoming scout, and asked in a deep voice, "Speak."

The Grand Army of the Gallo Kingdom was stationed ten miles outside the valley, led by General Liaomingfeng, the Great Marshal of the Gallo Kingdom.

“My Lord, this subordinate under Liao Mingfeng has heard that he is said to be the most skilled martial artist in the Kingdom of Calo. If it weren’t for the Emperor of Calo who stopped him, three years ago he would have led his troops against you. It is also because of Liao Mingfeng that Calo conquered many neighboring cities, so do not underestimate him.”

Ye Xi told him everything he knew, his eyes filled with worry.

Even if Liao Mingfeng is brave and skilled in battle, if he knew the importance of discretion, this battle could have been avoided. If he wants to become famous in one battle, I'm afraid we can't avoid this fight.

He had heard of Liao Mingfeng, a warlike man. Now that such a good opportunity presented itself to have a decisive battle with him, he was worried that he would not miss this chance easily.

"My lord, perhaps I should go and scout the situation first"

Ye Xi spoke up, "If Liao Mingfeng were a real man, he wouldn't take advantage of someone in distress. Besides, Your Highness is injured now; even if he won, it wouldn't be honorable."

Dugu Cheng shook his head. "It's not necessary. We'll likely have news soon after a battle. Just keep watching."

The scout withdrew, and Dugu City looked at the Liu Xi County topographic map on the table, marking it with .

Feng Ling Xi woke up from her nap and it was already dusk. Looking at the list of herbs Xiao Li had registered, she checked it over, her brow furrowed. "How many more herbs are there in this city's herb shops"

"This slave will immediately have Sun Deputy General go and settle this."

Xiao Li retreated, Feng Ling Xi looked at Jiang Zi's number. So much quantity, even a thousand elephants could be brought down, it would be worth keeping.

"My lady, I've already instructed Deputy General Sun to take care of it. Are you hungry, my lady I've prepared your dinner."

"Where is the lord Where is he"

Feng Lingxi glanced at the sky. Since she woke up, it was time to go find those people and chat.

In the hall.

Feng Lingxi gathered the list of medicinal herbs and said, "Please bring dinner to the front hall."

"My lord, you said that the princess has a good plan. If we really use boulders to block this valley, I'm afraid it will be completely blocked."

As Feng Lingxi approached the door, she heard Ye Xi's voice. Standing at the threshold, she greeted him, "Your Highness."

Dugu Cheng heard Xi'er speak, raised his head to look at Xi'er walking in, and got up to help her. "Did you sleep well"

"Awake, come over here and have a meal with me."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking and looked at Ye Xi, "I just heard Ye Xi say that if a boulder is dropped into the valley, it will be blocked."

Dugu City responded, pointing to the position on the map. "This king has prepared rolling stones on both sides of the mountain valley. If the Galo Kingdom attacks, the boulders will roll down from above. With the number of boulders, after the throwing stones are finished, the road in the valley will be blocked, and it will be a big problem to clean up. Unless absolutely necessary, this king is unwilling to use the rolling stones."

But if we don't throw stones, 300,000 troops will pour in and Liu Xicounty will be captured.

Ye Xi added, her eyes filled with sorrow, "Once Liu Xi County is breached, we won't be able to hold it. We might as well sortie and fight them head-on."

"The terrain of Liu Xi County is like this, if it's not defended well, it will be breached."

"Alone City looked at Feng Ling Xi, "This king thinks, it's better to go out and fight."

Feng Lingxi looked at the terrain on the map, "How did the former Xia Dynasty conquer Liu Xi County before"

"Attacking directly from the valley, with an insider assisting, it would be a simple matter to capture Liu Xi County."

"Your Highness, you're usually quite clever. Do you have any way to defend the city without going into battle"

"Ye Xi, Xi'er doesn't understand tactics again, don't talk nonsense."

Dugu Cheng coldly snorted, unwilling for Xi'er to add to her troubles.

"What can we do"

Wind Ling Xi pondered for a long time, discarding several ideas. To wipe out an army of 300,000 in one fell swoop was easier said than done!

"Xier, don't listen to him, let's look at the situation first."

He had made preparations for battle, with an army of 300,000. They absolutely could not march into the valley and the city, or they would be the ones trapped, not the Gallo kingdom.

Once the path in the valley is blocked, it will bring them trouble.

"There are ways, but they're a bit underhanded."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, watched his furrowed brows, and continued, "You also know that I don't have your skills, but my poison arts are still decent. If you're willing to accept my suggestion, I have a good plan. It won't lose any of our people, and it can also repel the enemy army."

Dugu Cheng came interested, "I'm somewhat familiar with Xi'er's poison skills. Wouldn't it be itching powder"

"The herbs for the itching powder aren't so easy to find. Now that there's a ready-made one, using this method might affect the reputation of His Royal Highness, the War God."

She had thought, the god of war in Duguo City were all battle-hardened veterans from the battlefield. If she used poison to help him, it would spread and surely bring shame upon him. At that time, once it spread, he would likely be utterly humiliated.emembers the past affection they shared. Li Wu Yan was truly a friend to her, but now she doesn't know why he's changed so much. Perhaps it's because she doubted him before, and he's angry about that...
