They could only see that the land had turned reddish brown, and the surroundings were filled with the smell of burnt and blood.
Tang Miaoxin has also seen the cruelty of the battlefield, but the cruelty before was nothing compared to the cruelty now.
She took a deep breath, her heart filled with panic.
The soldiers who were farther away survived them. They supported each other and looked here, their eyes full of dullness.
Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou searched around the battlefield and found Wu Linhui, who was seriously injured.
The reason why he was alive was, firstly, that he was far away from the British Duke at that time, and secondly, because he was afraid that the British Duke would send archers to attack, so he took a large shield.
When the explosion occurred, his many years of experience in fighting enemies on the battlefield allowed him to smell the danger and subconsciously raised his shield.
The shield was made of fine iron and was very thick, blocking most of the power of the explosion for him.
Even so, he was still blown backwards by the air wave for more than ten feet and was seriously injured.
When Tang Miaoxin found him, he had several broken bones, serious burns, and serious internal injuries.
He lay there, already a bloody man.
And he was the only person in that area who survived.
Tang Miaoxin let out a long sigh, first gave him a medicine, then repaired his bones, and then treated the external injuries.
After she finished dealing with this, Wu Linhui's soldiers came over.
Tang Miaoxin didn't want to linger here any longer, so she prescribed a few prescriptions, left some medicine for wounds, and taught the soldiers how to use medicine for Wu Linhui.
After teaching this, she was about to leave, but Wu Linhui woke up.
He looked at her and said, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
When Tang Miaoxin saw that he was awake, she explained to him again.
After she finished explaining, she said to him: "The British Lord has made the determination to die today. If you survive the catastrophe, you will be deemed to have ended your relationship with him."
"You should take good care of your injuries. After you recover, you should have a lot of things to do."
Wu Linhui nodded slightly.
After all, he was seriously injured and fainted again after saying these words.
After Tang Miaoxin left him, she looked at the messy battlefield, and for a moment she didn't know what it felt like.
Ning Guzhou stood beside her and said, "Don't think too much about it. This matter is already a bad debt that cannot be settled."
Tang Miaoxin bit her lip lightly and said, "I know, but if you look at it carefully, it's still because of me."
"If Qi Jianlan had not captured me and brought me to Qi State, this series of events would not have happened."
Ning Guzhou said quietly: "Your assumption is not valid."
"When this matter first started, it was out of your control."
"Besides, what the British public said is right. Even without you, Qi will still fall into civil strife."
"Sister and brother Qi Jianlan will definitely fight to the death."
Tang Miaoxin said softly: "I know, but seeing the scene in front of me still makes me feel uncomfortable."
Ning Guzhou took her hand and said, "Don't think about it, let's go home."
Tang Miaoxin leaned in his arms, stretched out her arms to hold him, and sniffed gently.
Since this incident, their subsequent journey has been relatively smooth. Although they encountered several groups of bandits on the road, their lethality was limited.
Three days before the New Year, they finally returned to Prince Qin's Mansion in Qinzhou.
Lin Rufeng led a group of people to greet them at the door. When they entered, he took out grapefruit leaves from somewhere, dipped them in water and sprinkled them on them.
Ning Guzhou looked at him and said with a smile: "It was not easy for the prince and the princess to come back. They went through many hardships."
"I think it's because you got bad luck somewhere when you went out. When you get home, you still have to get rid of the bad luck first."
Ning Guzhou glared at him and said, "You are the only one who has many things to do."
Lin Rufeng raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's okay, I mainly think about the prince."
"After all, we are the ones who want to defeat Dayan after the new year begins, so we have to seek good luck first."
Ning Guzhou also laughed when he heard this: "Yes."
The decision to attack Dayan after the new year was made by Ning Guzhou when he left Qinzhou.
While Ning Guzhou was away from Qinzhou, Lin Rufeng and Ruan Sizhui made various preparations together.
While the war is still going on, food and grass go first.
Qinzhou had a good harvest this year, and their empty warehouses finally had some food in storage.
These grain reserves are not too much, but they can also support the food and grass they need in the early stages of this war.
As for what to do with the food and grass in the back?
Ning Guzhou didn't worry too much. When the time comes, he will fight all the way and there will always be a solution.
Moreover, they have a large rear area in Qinzhou, so their land can be cultivated one after another.
The most ideal situation is for Qinzhou to recuperate for a few more years and accumulate more food and grass, but the body of Emperor Ming cannot last that long.
Lin Rufeng came to Ning Guzhou's side and said, "We will have a happy New Year in Qinzhou this year, and we will try to celebrate the New Year in Dayan's capital next year."
Ning Guzhou looked at him and said, "Your ambition is not small!"
When using a state to fight a country, in addition to financial resources and combat power, there are many other factors that will affect the entire war situation.
This front line will be stretched very long if we are not careful.
It is by no means an easy task to conquer Dayan in one year.
On the way into the mansion, Lin Rufeng blinked at Ning Guzhou: "I dare to say this, there must be a reason."
"The prince will come to the study with me later. I have a surprise for the prince."
Ning Guzhou glanced at him: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you try to be mysterious, you will be struck by lightning."
Lin Rufeng laughed loudly: "It's not a trick, it's just to give the prince some room for imagination."
Ning Guzhou said quietly: "In my opinion, you are just looking for trouble!"
Lin Rufeng curled her lips and said, "My lord, you are becoming less and less lovable now!"
"Hit people at every turn. If you want to hit someone, hit Mo Li. Don't hit me."
After hearing this, Ning Guzhou asked: "Mo Li? How is he doing recently?"
Lin Rufeng replied: "To use a poem to describe it, it is 'The spring breeze is so proud that the horses' hooves are so anxious that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.'"
Ning Guzhou was a little curious: "Be more specific."
Lin Rufeng said with some sigh: "He and Shuxiu have taken care of Qingzhou properly."
"On the 20th, someone even sent a list of items for Qingzhou this year."
"Although Qingzhou missed spring plowing this year, they did a good job in summer plowing, and this year's harvest is very good."
"They originally wanted to transport some rice and grain back to Qinzhou, but after hearing that the prince was going to attack Dayan, they stopped transporting grain and grass."
"After all, Qingzhou is the only way to attack Dayan from Qinzhou. When the prince's troops and horses pass through, it will be good to bring the food and grass with them."
