Chapter 466 The One I Care About

It was four days later when the second prince received the battle report from Ganzhou.

Surprisingly, the report was written by the commander of the Leizhou Army, He Shifeng, instead of the Ganzhou Army.

After reading the letter, he felt his forehead throbbing.

The 15,000-man Ganzhou army was attacked by the Jinxia Army and was not only defeated, but not many people escaped.

In other words, few people could tell how the enemy fought and how they were defeated.

This is why the report had to be written by the Leizhou Army.

The Ganzhou garrison had completely lost its combat capability. Luo Bairen died in battle, and the main generals were all missing. The entire army was no longer in existence.

Since the Leizhou Army had only 3,000 people, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, it was unlikely to threaten the Shenzhou area from the west.

The court had not yet taken action, but was severely tricked by Ning Wanjun, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Ning Qianshi.

If we talk about how big the loss of more than 10,000 people is, it is nothing for the whole territory of Daqi.

But to say that we don't care about it at all is deceiving ourselves.

As the reserve force of the Leizhou border army, Ganzhou has always been well trained. The combat capability of the army cannot be said to be top-notch, but it is at least at a medium level. Moreover, it can also play a strategic role in restraining Jinxia's energy. Now it is gone, which is really difficult for the Privy Council to accept.

At the end of the letter, it was also mentioned that there were alchemists surviving in Wangshandu, and now they were also sent to the front-line camp and handed over to the general office for disposal.

"Bring these people in." Ning Qianshi suppressed his indignation, put down the report and ordered.

"Yes!" His men quickly dragged two tied alchemists and threw them in front of the second prince.

As soon as he saw this posture, he understood everything. The two people were not lucky to survive, but they were deserters.

"Tell me about the situation at that time." Ning Qianshi asked coldly.

...

After listening to the statement patiently, the second prince wanted to drag the two men down and chop them up immediately.

After a battle, they only knew that the Jinxia Army relied on ice to cross the river, mechanical beasts led the charge, and dragons and listeners fell from the sky. After Luo Aoying was killed by Luo Qingqing, the two of them just fled and took a small path back to Yecheng before stopping. As for why the two armies were completely annihilated, and there were not even a few remnants left, the two did not know.

It is not surprising that the Ganzhou army was defeated. According to this statement, Ning Wanjun not only personally went out in this battle, but also mobilized a lot of high-level alchemists. It is normal that the front line could not hold up. The only thing he couldn't understand was that they were defeated, but why they were defeated so thoroughly that there were not even a few remnants left.

In theory, most of the soldiers in the army are local people in Ganzhou. There is no reason for them to be annihilated by outsiders on their own territory, right?

"Your Highness, Your Highness... It's not good." At this time, He'er suddenly ran out from the inner room, and saw the Taoist priest kneeling on the ground and covered her mouth fiercely.

"Take them away and lock them up first." Ning Qianshi hesitated for a while, and finally failed to kill the two people. After all, they were all Qi Sensing People, and killing one Privy Councilor would weaken his power.

"As you command."

After the guard dragged the man away, the second prince turned to look at He'er, "What happened?"

"I just used the chess game to deduce that the Ganzhou Army's plan has considerable risks - if the factor of the living dead joining the Third Princess is taken into consideration, the Lichuan River will no longer be a natural barrier." She said seriously, "If Jinxia decides to take the initiative to attack them, both crossing points may be lost. Uh... Your Highness?"

Ning Qianshi came back to his senses and smiled a little stiffly, "Thank you, I know."

He'er seemed to realize something, "Has the thing... happened?"

"Yes." He nodded, "But this is not your problem." After all, the Ganzhou Army's arrangements and plans were only recently delivered to him. By the time He'er had time to calculate these situations, Jinxia had already taken action.

The deduction of the chess game in the world is not a one-time deal. With the increase of intelligence and the changes in the enemy and our situation, the deduction of this technique will gradually approach the real result.

"Your Highness..." He'er hesitated.

"Let me see her." After a moment of silence, Ning Qianshi suddenly whispered.

The little girl slowly lowered her eyes and grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands, "I... know."

A moment later, light seemed to be emitted from behind He'er. When she spoke again, her voice had become ethereal and graceful, "Your Highness Ning——"

"Just call my name." Although Ning Qianshi stared at He'er, his focus was on a place farther away.

"Qianshi." Her tone seemed a little helpless, but she finally responded to his request, "This is not good. I am the one who should leave. Even if I live like this, I am just a remnant soul. I understand your thoughts, but this is not a long-term solution. It is better for the Privy Council to select a new Tianshu Envoy as soon as possible."

"What's the difference between that and killing you?" Ning Qianshi shook his head, "I don't want to hear this."

"This is not to kill me, but to let me be truly free." The light gradually condensed into a human figure. Although the appearance could not be seen, the gentle and moving appearance of the Tianshu Envoy could be pieced together from the fluttering long hair and the pleasant voice. The light surged forward, as if reaching out to place a hand on the second prince's cheek. "You came to me at this time, it must be that the Privy Council has encountered some difficult problems, right? In this case, you should take away my power and experience. A Tianshu Envoy who has obtained the complete inheritance will surely be able to lead the Privy Council out of the predicament."

Ning Qianshi clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, "If I could have reacted at that time..."

"Are you thinking about what happened in Wanjing Tower again? It's useless. That was Yuyi's fatal blow, and only I could block it." She paused, "Listen carefully, Qianshi, time cannot be reversed. Instead of regretting the past, it is better to look to the future - you can't change what has happened, but you have the opportunity to reverse those changes that have not yet happened. Don't forget the goal we are fighting for. As long as it can be achieved, I will be satisfied."

Her voice became farther and farther away until it was inaudible.

The light disappeared, and He'er collapsed, her face covered with sweat, and her chest rose and fell violently with the sound of panting.

It was obvious that the action just now was a great burden for her, and she had done her best to hold on for so long.

"Sorry." Ning Qianshi picked her up and turned to put her on the soft couch. "You have a good rest. I won't ask you to do this next time."

"No... Your Highness," He'er looked up, "This is what I am willing to do. Are you... feeling better now?"

"Thanks to you... Much better," Ning Qianshi sighed softly, "Thank you." After that, he turned and left the room.

...

Half a minute later, the second prince walked into a mansion and swept his eyes over the core members sitting quietly in the lobby.

Qian, Baizhan, Weihuang, Duye Long... Except for Fei Nian, the backbone of the Privy Council of the Capital Region has all arrived in Huiyang City, Liuzhou. In addition, Fengguo and Qiguo also sent a Qingjian to support. The people in the hall represent the strongest force that the Privy Council can gather.
