Ling Chuxi finally understood why Zhou Zhidong, with his forthright personality, was willing to accompany Jiang Wuhen and the two of them to cheat, and why he respected the two of them so much. Looking at Jiang Wuhen and Li Shaoqiu's shabby clothes, it turned out that
All the money obtained from the fraud was used to treat Zhou Zhidong's injuries.
Ling Chuxi's impression of the two men greatly changed. Although one was a charlatan and the other was a playboy, they were both people who valued love and justice. Even in desperate situations, they did not abandon their companions and escape alone.
"So what's the situation in Nanxia Kingdom now?" Ling Chuxi asked.
"The situation in Nanxia Kingdom is not very good now. I heard that Dinglin Kingdom sent millions of troops. In less than ten days, they captured dozens of cities and marched straight into the capital." Zhou Zhidong replied.
"How is it possible to approach the capital in less than ten days? Our Nanxia Kingdom can't be so weak, right?" Ling Chuxi knew that the Dinglin Kingdom was powerful, but she didn't expect that the Nanxia Kingdom was so weak that it only took ten days.
, they were forced to approach the capital.
"If the emperor were here, with the military strength of Southern Xia, even if we were defeated by the Dinglin Kingdom, it would not be so bad. But just the night before the Dinglin Kingdom sent troops, His Majesty suddenly died of a hidden illness, and all the ministers in the court
There was great chaos, and the emperor did not appoint a prince, so all the royal highnesses were in disarray.
It is said that only the Fifth Princess and His Highness the Ninth Prince immediately summoned the defenders from all over the country to rush for reinforcements, but the name was not justified. You must know that leading the troops outside was a serious crime to annihilate the nine tribes, so few people dared to come for reinforcements until the third day.
Days later, the joint military orders from the princes and the ministers of the DPRK were sent to the garrison in various places, and then the troops were assembled to attack.
It’s just that at this time, the army of Dinglin Kingdom has already broken through several fortresses and marched straight in. However, our army of Dinglin Kingdom has been defeated like a mountain and cannot resist it at all. Now it retreats to the Iron Stone Fort three hundred miles away from the capital. Once the Iron Stone Fort is lost,
, our Nanxia Kingdom is completely finished." Zhou Zhidong said worriedly.
"The emperor passed away..." Ling Chuxi looked solemn. She had met with the emperor before and found out that she looked healthy and had no hidden diseases. Moreover, Ling Chuxi also gave her a Dragon Birthday Pill when she celebrated her last birthday.
Even if there is a hidden disease that does not heal without treatment, how could he suddenly die? How could he die at such a critical moment? If the guess is correct, this should be Chu Fengyun's method. Thinking of this, Ling Chuxi's heart became more and more heavy.
It went on. The situation has become critical. However, fortunately, Nanxia is still holding on and has not yet been destroyed.
"Has Mr. Mo come back? How is the fifth princess?" Ling Chuxi then asked.
"Fortunately, Mr. Mo came back in time. Otherwise, not only the emperor would have died, but also the ministers and military leaders would not know how many of them would be left. How could our Nanxia Kingdom survive until today?" It seems that Zhou Zhidong also died.
He guessed the truth behind the emperor's death and said happily.
After hearing that Mo Kongyuan was fine and that he had rushed back in time, Ling Chuxi finally felt a little more relaxed.
"As for the fifth princess, I haven't heard much news, but since Mr. Mo is back, it shouldn't matter much." Zhou Zhidong continued.
"The fifth princess should be fine. With the strength of the ninth prince, and the fifth princess's recent rapid improvement in poison skills, it will be difficult for ordinary people to hurt her." Li Shaoqiu also echoed. They all know that the fifth princess is in Ling Chuxi.
His status was not low in his heart, so he comforted him with words.
