Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1199 - 1196_1

Shangguan Xuanyi listened to her words and glanced at her indifferently before turning and leaving.

How dare she negotiate terms with him! Using such a precious pill to save a life that could be used against him, endangering his wife and child, Shangguan Xuanyi thought to himself: He wasn’t a fool!

Princess Ling’er, seeing that Shangguan Xuanyi just walked away without a word, became anxious: "Wait, aren’t you worried about Master Gu Xuan using the child to take Princess Rui’s life?"

Shangguan Xuanyi looked back at her: "I am worried, but no one can threaten me."

"So Princess Rui’s status in your eyes is not very high after all. Curing my child is a mere effort for you. For the sake of Princess Rui’s life, you won’t even do such a small thing?" Princess Ling’er didn’t want to give up, she tried to persuade Shangguan Xuanyi by goading him, for if her child was rescued, and if her disease couldn’t be cured, she would undoubtedly die!

If she was going to watch her daughter die after she was rescued, she might as well let her stay by Gong Zixuan’s side, at least Gong Zixuan would nourish her with precious medicinal materials.

After hearing her words, Shangguan Xuanyi left without saying anything else.

Di Shaowei looked at Princess Ling’er with the same expression as if looking at a pig. Didn’t she know that the existence of her child was already a threat to Xiao’er, and Shangguan Xuanyi was not out of his mind? He would be a fool to agree to save her child’s life!

Ah, one must not be greedy!

Seeing that Shangguan Xuanyi really walked away without looking back, Princess Ling’er was somewhat dumbfounded, but she still wanted to save her child so she rushed to say, "Wait, I agree to your terms!"

After Princess Ling’er agreed, Shangguan Xuanyi brought Xiao’er over.

Looking at the princess, who had aged so much, Xiao’er was slightly surprised, but she didn’t show it on her face.

Seeing that Xiao’er was still as beautiful and stunning as ever, it seemed as if all the luck in the world had converged on her. Princess Ling’er couldn’t help but speak sharply: "So, are you pleased to see me in this state?"

Xiao’er looked at her as if she was an idiot: "You’re overthinking. Your appearance has nothing to do with my mood."

Princess Ling’er was speechless by Xiao’er’s words, this was another person who didn’t consider her important!

"Don’t be smug, Master Gu Xuan is after your life! If I don’t reveal what he looks like, you probably won’t even know when your life is taken!"

Listening to her words, Xiao’er couldn’t help but laugh: "Even if you reveal his appearance, I still wouldn’t know when my life will end! Nobody knows when they will die! If you don’t want to reveal Master Gu Xuan’s appearance, then I’ll leave, I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense here!"

Shangguan Xuanyi directly took Xiao’er’s hand and walked out. There was indeed no need to waste time here!

Seeing this, Princess Ling’er was secretly furious, these two weren’t giving her any face. She quickly said, "I’ll tell you now!"

After hearing her words, Xiao’er turned around and sat down in front of the drawing board, looking indifferent, she said "Go ahead!"

Some people truly thrive on drama! But who would indulge her?

Princess Ling’er then slowly described what Master Gu Xuan looked like.

With Princess Ling’er’s description, Xiao’er drew the man.

Seeing the man in the painting who looked exactly like the real one, Princess Ling’er admitted, for the first time, that Xiao’er was a very talented person, being able to paint someone’s likeness exactly from a verbal description.

She thought about herself, knowing all the Four Arts but not excelling in any of them. Apart from being born better, she seemed to be inferior to her in every way. That must be why Shangguan Xuanyi had chosen her over herself!

After finishing the drawing, Xiao’er returned to her room.

In anticipation of the toxicity competition, she needed to recharge herself in her virtual space. There were many herbs to plant and the child to care for, she was extremely busy.

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at the person in the painting, memorized the face, then he handed the portrait to Zhao Yong, ordering him to distribute it, so people across Nangong Country could memorize this face and kill on sight if they found this person!

...

A few days later, the medicinal materials Xi’er needed were delivered. The antidote was simple, just brew a pot of medicinal juice and drink it before the battle!

The day before the battle, at dawn, Xiao’er and Xi’er both assisted the soldiers in the cooking class, brewing the antidote together. Xiao’er secretly added some spirit liquid to the antidote, in case the poison used by Nangong Country was different this time.

When Xiao’er and Xi’er were brewing the antidote, Di Shaowei started to make preparations with Shangguan Xuanjun and Feng Qing who were stationed elsewhere!

After the antidote was ready, except for a few severely injured soldiers, the rest of the lightly injured soldiers had their injuries almost healed under the treatment of the medicine Xiao’er brought.

Di Shaowei had already sent a message to Nangong Country to challenge them as soon as Xiao’er mentioned the idea of a counterattack.

Nangong Imperial Palace

Gong Qinghua quickly received the urgent challenge. After reading it, he angrily threw the challenge at the general who was kneeling on the ground.

He glared at the kneeling general and gritted his teeth, "Did you not say that although Jiangyang County had fallen, the enemy’s casualties were heavy! You said they wouldn’t dare to send out troops without two or three months of recuperation. It’s been only a few days? Is half a month enough? Now we have received another challenge! What the hell is going on!"

You should know that the side that won the battle had heavy casualties, but at least they won the city!

The winning side suffered heavy casualties! Is it possible that the losing side would be unscathed?

The soldiers of Nangong Country had suffered double the casualties! What’s good about that!

Before he could get over this matter, another challenge was issued! Did they think that Nangong Country had no soldiers left? freewebnøvel.com

Gong Qinghua was so angry his stomach hurt!

Before he ascended the throne, he didn’t know that the generals under his father’s command were all almost useless!

They couldn’t even fight a war properly!

The general on the ground dared not say a word.

Gong Qinghua took a deep breath, stabilized his mood before speaking, "Jiangdong County has an unique strategic location and is the most important military stronghold in the east of our Nangong country. You must defend it well. If it falls, you will have your heads!"

"At your command! Your Majesty, the enemy troops have moved so quickly this time, our supplies are not ready yet." The general’s voice became quieter under Gong Qinghua’s gaze.

Of course, Gong Qinghua knew that the supplies were not ready, not only the supplies!

He couldn’t think of anything that was ready!

He had planned to seize the enemy’s supplies to feed his soldiers, thinking that he could at least seize the enemy’s supplies two or three times. However, he was successful only once before the enemy found out. The soldiers who went to seize the supplies were all killed by the enemy! Now even the insiders from Prince An’s Mansion have been completely uprooted!!
