Chapter 1454 Farewell to the Prime Minister!

Yun Zheng and Su Zan were chatting casually.

The prince of Daqian and the prime minister of Xiqu are no longer here.

There are only two people who understand each other.

As dusk approached, Su Zan's complexion became worse and worse.

"puff……"

Su Zan spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with wine, his body fell to the ground, and the wine bag in his hand fell to the ground, and the unfinished wine spilled out of the wine bag.

Yun Zheng held Su Zan and let him lean against the rock behind him again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... ahem..."

Su Zan's breath was weak. He looked at Yun Zheng helplessly and forced a smile. "I will die without regrets if I can have a long talk with the prince..."

Yun Zheng said solemnly: "It is Yun Zheng's honor to be able to meet the great face in this life!"

Su Zan smiled and his eyes fell on the round sunset.

The setting sun gradually sank to the west, and it seemed as if Su Zan was about to reach the end of his life.

Yun Zheng didn't say anything, but just sat there quietly to see Su Zan off.

Gradually, Su Zan's breathing became difficult.

However, Su Zan's gaze still remained on the sunset.

Until his eyes started to blur.

Just before the sunset, Su Zan used up his last bit of strength to pick up the wine bag that had fallen to the ground, held it in his arms, and then slowly closed his eyes.

After a moment, Su Zan let go of his hands and the wine bag fell from his arms.

Yun Zheng put his finger to the tip of Su Zan's nose, then slowly stood up and bowed to Su Zan's body: "Farewell, Prime Minister!"

The guards who were protecting Yun Zheng from a distance saw this scene and followed suit in saluting.

"Farewell, great Prime Minister!"

Those they saw off were not their enemies.

He is just a wise man who worked hard for his country all his life.

Yun Zheng took the wine bag from Su Zan and slowly stood up, "Someone! Fill this wine bag!"

"Yes!"

The guards who came jogging immediately took the wine bag to fill it with wine.

Afterwards, Yun Zheng ordered people to carry Su Zan's body to the foot of the hill.

After the guards brought the wine bag filled with wine, Yun Zheng hung it on Su Zan's body.

"Send the body of Xiqu Prime Minister Su Zan to Qin Qihu's troops. Order Qin Qihu to hand over Su Zan's body to King Fa Qiang. Ask King Fa Qiang to send someone to send Su Zan's body back to Xiqu King City. Our troops are not allowed to stop them!"

"Yes!"

After arranging Su Zan's affairs, Yun Zheng returned to the big tent.

A moment later, Miaoyin lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.

"You seem to be in a bad mood!"

Miaoyin walked over and sat down next to Yun Zheng.

"No."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "I just feel a little emotional!"

"This is his own choice." Miaoyin comforted.

"I know."

Yun Zheng smiled at Miao Yin, "Don't comfort me, it makes me feel like I've suffered a huge blow! If I can be affected by Su Zan's death, I'd better not lead the army and go home to hug my children!"

It’s not as serious as Miaoyin thinks.

It's just a farewell to a rival who I admire, and I feel a little emotional.

Su Zan is a respectable opponent and an admirable minister.

The death of such a person is worth lamenting!

"Okay! I was overthinking."

Miaoyin smiled and said, "But having said that, Su Zan is indeed a worthy opponent!"

"Ah."

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Have a good night's rest! Tomorrow, we have to speed up! We can't be too far away from Xiao Dingwu's troops."

"it is good."

Miaoyin nodded and felt relieved.

Well, he was still thinking about the war.

I really was overthinking it.

Maybe I just can't understand the mutual respect between men!

……

Qin Qihu led 10,000 cavalrymen and marched quickly in the direction of Gongbu.

They carried no supplies except dry food and a small amount of horse feed.

He followed Yun Zheng all the way here.

Yun Zheng had allowed him to do what he wanted, so he naturally knew what to do.

At night, Qin Qihu led his troops to raid a small town in Xiqu.

It is called a small town, but in fact it is just a settlement.

How can it be called a city if it doesn’t even have a decent city wall?

Qin Qihu dismounted, handed the warhorse to his personal soldiers, and gave an order: "Pass the order down, everyone just eat and drink, and don't kill the people indiscriminately! After taking food from the people, write them an IOU and tell them that after the war is over, the food they owe will be repaid one by one!"

"what?"

The guards looked at Qin Qihu dumbfoundedly, "General, are you still...still writing an IOU?"

When did Qin Qihu become so kind?

"Snapped!"

Qin Qihu slapped his guard on the head, and scolded him with his eyes bulging: "Are you stupid? We are not short of food now, we just didn't bring any food! Write an IOU now, and you will have less trouble in the future, understand?"

"Uh, I don't understand..."

The guard gave an awkward but polite smile.

"..."

Qin Qihu's face twitched slightly, and he immediately kicked the soldier's butt, "Forget it, forget it! This general can't explain it clearly to an idiot like you! Go and pass the message!"

"Yes!"

The personal guard quickly took the order and ran away, feeling suspicious in his heart.

Why did this guy suddenly change his personality?

If this had happened in the past, it would have been good enough if he didn't take anything from the meal, but he even wrote an IOU?

Isn’t this fucking bullshit?

Looking at his personal soldiers running away, Qin Qihu couldn't help but curl his lips and secretly cursed them as idiots.

Don’t you understand such a simple truth?

These people will all be our own people in the future. If they are burning, killing and looting now, it will be difficult to govern them in the future!

If the Sixth Prince can establish his credibility with two pounds of meat, why can’t I establish my credibility with an IOU?

"Well, I am really smart!"

Qin Qihu grinned and praised himself, then muttered secretly: "It would be better if Xiqu didn't agree..."

Damn it!

Xiqu was unified, and destroying Xiqu would mean destroying just one country.

But if Xiqu had not been unified, more than ten countries would have been destroyed!

Although the battle was fought in the same area, the number of countries destroyed was very different!

In the future, when I tell my descendants that I led my troops to destroy more than a dozen countries in a single battle, I will feel comfortable just thinking of their admiring eyes.

Qin Qihu was thinking happily when a scout suddenly came to report, "General, when we were investigating thirty miles ahead, we found a lot of traces of enemy activities!"

"Ok?"

Qin Qihu instantly became alert, "Have you seen the enemy?"

"no!"

The scout shook his head: "We have searched the surrounding area and found no enemy troops!"

No enemy troops were found, only traces of enemy activities?

Qin Qihu tilted his head and thought about it, and soon understood.

There are a large number of people behind Su Zan!

After Su Zan's guards went back to report the news, those troops either retreated or hid and tried to ambush them!

"Pass the order down. When you rest tonight, no one should take off their armor to prevent a surprise attack from the enemy!"

After Qin Qihu ordered his men to pass on the message, he also ordered: "Send five more scout teams tomorrow to expand the scope of exploration. Regardless of whether the enemy is found or not, you must send people back to report every hour!"

"Yes!"
