After dinner that night, Zhao Hongrun was in the commander's tent thinking about the upcoming "Battle of Shoying, the capital of the King of Chu", simulating the formation of troops in his mind. After all, the battlefield for this battle was in the area of Shouying, the capital of the King of Chu.
Considering the rise and fall of the Chu State and the reputation of the Xiong family, it is not difficult to imagine that the Qi, Lu, and Wei coalition forces will encounter unprecedented resistance here.
During this period, Mi Jiang did not disturb him because she also had something to do, which was to bury the bodies of the two Chu witches she killed today.
Unexpectedly, after just one stick of incense, Mi Jiang left and came back. Also returning with her was the very ugly-looking Cen Chang, the chief of the Su Wang Guard.
"Your Highness, something went wrong..."
When saying this, Cen Chang looked very embarrassed and uneasy.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun felt a flash of confusion in his heart. He didn't even bother simulating the battle situation in his mind, and asked doubtfully: "What happened?"
Cen Chang glanced at the expressionless Mi Jiang and whispered: "The bodies of the two thieves... one of them escaped."
Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Isn't he dead?"
"Yeah, but..."
Cen Chang didn't know how to explain it, so he told Zhao Hongrun exactly what happened just now.
It turned out that he had just taken Mi Jiang to the tent where the two corpses were placed not far away, but when he walked in, he discovered that one of the two corpses originally placed in the tent was missing.
Later, they found a corpse of a Wei soldier with his armor stripped off in the corner of the tent.
"..."
Zhao Hongrun understood immediately and frowned slightly subconsciously.
Obviously, of the two witches killed by Mi Jiang, one of them was not dead at the time. She was probably in a state of suspended animation due to severe injuries. After the woman regained consciousness, she took the opportunity to kill a Wei soldier and put on his clothes.
A, I don’t know where I have fled to at this time.
Seeing the ugly expression of Prince Su in front of him, Cen Chang panicked and said quickly: "Your Highness, I have ordered the whole camp to search, and we will definitely find the thief!"
"Looking for? How to find it?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Cen Chang with an unhappy expression.
You must know that at the moment, there are nearly 50,000 merchant navy troops in his Wei camp, including surrendered troops from the Chu Kingdom. If he wants to find the witch among these 50,000 people, it will undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack.
"I have neglected my humble duty, and please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Cen Chang kowtowed.
In fact, at this moment, the Su Wang Guard Chief screamed that he was wronged. After all, no one would have thought that one of the two seemingly lifeless corpses was actually alive.
But despite this, Cen Chang did not dare to quibble. After all, he knew the His Highness in front of him very well and knew that what His Highness disliked the most was quibbles.
Instead of making more excuses to make His Highness angry, it would be better to simply admit guilt.
But at this time, Mi Jiang opened his mouth to help Cen Chang: "It's none of Cen Chang's business, it's my negligence... Ji Run, don't blame him."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "You should step back first, Cen Chang."
"Yes." Cen Chang stood up with relief, looked at Mi Jiang gratefully, and then respectfully exited the tent.
After Cen Chang left the commander's tent, Zhao Hongrun turned to look at Mi Jiang, frowned slightly and asked, "Will the woman's escape... pose any... threat to you?"
After hearing this, Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, and was slightly moved. After all, the man in front of him thought first not of himself, but of her safety.
Shaking her head, Mi Jiang said softly: "I'm not worried that Gonggong's shaman priests will come to harm me. I'm just asking this woman to escape today. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to my Zhurong lineage in the future." When she said this, she was very rare.
He sighed lightly and said with a bit of self-blame.
: "After this girl escapes back, the Gonggong witch priests will definitely know that my Zhurong lineage has not been discontinued. By then, it may be possible to trace it to the country of Ba, which will be detrimental to the mother-in-law and sisters of the witch village... Zhu Rong
The same lineage and the same lineage of Gonggong will fight again."
Although the face that appeared in front of Zhao Hongrun at this moment was still a beautiful expressionless face, with his understanding of Mi Jiang and his incredible telepathy, Zhao Hongrun could naturally understand Mi Jiang's panic at this moment.
Somehow, he said subconsciously: "What are you afraid of? If those people really dare to do harm to you and others, I will just send troops to help you... I don't believe they can defeat the enemy!"
"..." After hearing this, Mi Jiang's red lips opened slightly, and her beautiful eyes looking at Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but widen a little, as if she was surprised that Zhao Hongrun actually defended her in this way.
However, her gaze made Zhao Hongrun feel a burning sensation on his face for no reason. He coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, neither I nor Xiong Tuo will just watch you... you guys get bullied."
"..." Mi Jiang looked deeply at Zhao Hongrun. Suddenly, a faint smile bloomed on his expressionless face, which made Zhao Hongrun dumbfounded.
"She...this woman can actually laugh?"
Zhao Hongrun rubbed his eyes subconsciously. After knowing Mi Jiang for so long, he had almost never seen Mi Jiang smile at all.
However, when he rubbed his eyes and looked at Mi Jiang again, he found that the faint smile that seemed to be fleeting had long since disappeared. This made Zhao Hongrun confused: Did she really smile just now? Or,
Was he blinded?
Perhaps because she was moved by Zhao Hongrun's defense of herself, Mi Jiang's tone became much gentler than usual: "This is the internal affairs of our witch clan, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere...Furthermore, the witch village also has a way to protect itself."
In contrast, I am worried that Gonggong’s shaman priests will be disadvantageous to you."
"It's not good for me?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, quite incomprehensible, and asked in a dumbfounded voice: "Why is it not good for me?"
There was no hint of joking in Mi Jiang's eyes, and she said softly: "My Zhurong lineage and Gonggong's lineage are feuding. If Zhurong's shaman appears next to you, Gonggong's shaman will naturally regard you as an enemy."
At this point, she looked at Zhao Hongrun with a hint of self-blame in her eyes, and whispered: "Today's events may have affected you. I should have checked carefully..."
When she said this, Mi Jiang felt a little resentful towards Zhao Hongrun.
After all, when she shot the two witches to death, she originally planned to lean over and examine the two corpses carefully, but who would have expected that Zhao Hongrun noticed the blood on her left wrist and rushed up to grab her wrist.
It caused her heart to be so confused that she still had the time to check whether the two witches were really dead?
However, when she thought of Zhao Hongrun's nervous attitude at that time, the complaint in Mi Jiang's heart was immediately replaced by bursts of warmth that filled her heart.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun could not guess Mi Jiang's tangled mood. After hearing those words, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Are you worried about me? Ha, there is no need for that."
When he said this, the expression on his face was full of indifference.
As if she had guessed Zhao Hongrun's thoughts, Mi Jiang's eyes flashed with suspicion, and she lightly reminded him: "Don't underestimate the witch priest, and don't forget that my two sisters once treated you
Taken away."
"Uh." Zhao Hongrun's momentum couldn't help but stagnate, and then he said with some embarrassment: "I didn't take precautions at the time, and I didn't know your details. Now, you two sisters will try again?... Just say today, even if you don't show up,
It would be easy for me to kill them both."
I have to say that he was not exaggerating when he said this.
After all, even if Mi Jiang and other witches from the Chu State mastered an incredible skill called "Sword Dance", could they still defeat the army?
So what if your personal strength is great? So what if you are fast?
Hundreds of soldiers armed with hand crossbows and crossbows can easily kill these witches who master superb sword skills.
In the final analysis, the witches of Chu State are just more powerful than the hidden thieves of Wei State, but they are far from enough if they want to fight against the army.
"A cautious man..."
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was a little annoyed by her half-joking words, Mi Jiang rolled her eyes.
Thinking about it carefully, the guard force around the little man in front of her now is quite comprehensive. With the combination of Zong Wei and Wang Su Wang Wei, even if it is Mi Jiang, it will not be so easy for her to kidnap this guy like she did back then.
Otherwise, when she, Mi Jiang, was hiding in the Wei army a while ago, she wouldn't have had to let Wei Jiao, the chief of the Zong Wei, and the others cover it up for her.
"It's better to be careful... If you die, I won't survive either. Don't kill us because of your underestimation."
Mi Jiang said calmly, ending the daily dispute with the enemy in front of her.
"This guy..."
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes and watched Mi Jiang walk out of the handsome tent with an impatient expression.
But after Mi Jiang left, the impatient look on his face was immediately replaced by a bit of solemnity.
Although he had just promised Mi Jiang not to get involved in this matter, to be honest, this promise was just to coax Mi Jiang.
After all, based on the current relationship between the two, how could Zhao Hongrun sit back and watch a group of so-called Gonggong witches and priests threaten the Mi sisters? Those so-called Gonggong shamans and priests are relatively knowledgeable. If they don't know each other, Zhao Hongrun doesn't mind sending an army.
Or perhaps send the Green Crows and Black Crows to handle this matter on your behalf.
So what if Mi Jiang is unhappy because of this? Anyway, this woman has the same face whether she is happy or unhappy.
Of course, Zhao Hongrun felt that it was necessary to develop a new weapon to limit the speed of those witches.
After all, in his opinion, as long as those witches lose their speed, there is nothing to fear, and they can be easily dealt with with a crossbow arrow.
As for the kind of speed-limiting weapons, it would not be very troublesome to make, such as a tough fishing net equipped with countless blades.
"Before that..."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hongrun put the matter behind him for the time being.
After all, the most urgent task is the Battle of Shouying, the capital of Chu King, which is about to break out, no, it has already broken out before our eyes.
This was a major event that could affect the entire world, and it was of such great importance that Zhao Hongrun had to be very alert and not miss anything.
In comparison, both those Gonggong shamans and the unknown Chu Shuijun seemed insignificant.
