However, there was a missing sacrificial warrior. What did this an?
“Did you watch them drink the poisoned wine?” He shot a cold look at the deputy general next to him.
“Your Highness, I watched them drink the poisoned wine with my own eyes. I’m certain of it.” A cold sweat broke out on the deputy general’s forehead.
He did not know why one of the sacrificial warriors did not return. That was abnormal! Was he not dead? Did Zhan Beiye keep him for future use?
But how was that possible?
He had personally watched the sacrificial warriors drink the poisoned wine. What kind of abilities did Zhan Beiye have to save soone like that?
The sacrificial warriors had received an incurable poison!
“Then explain this. Why is there a corpse missing?” Ming Fucheng looked at the deputy general and asked.
He didn’t think it was because Zhan Beiye had overlooked one person. There had to be another reason. He, like the deputy general, believed the sacrificial warrior could still be alive.
However, he could not figure out what Zhan Beiye wanted to do with that sacrificial warrior.
Sacrificial warriors only carried out the missions given to them by their master. They were not allowed to inquire about any further information, so Zhan Beiye could not get any information out of them.
“This… I don’t know.” The deputy general was drenched in cold sweat.
Of course, he couldn’t say that the sacrificial warrior might still be alive because that would be a dereliction of duty!
“I think this might be Zhan Beiye’s strategy. He’s doing this on purpose to make you suspicious, so you’ll fall into his trap.”
Ming Fucheng took a deep breath.
Was that really the case? The last sacrificial warrior should be dead, right?
“Drag them away, bury them. Put Yue Suiyu’s corpse in a coffin and have soone escort it back to the capital,” he instructed.
“Yes, Your Highness,” the deputy general replied and instructed the soldiers to remove the corpses.
“Now that Yue Suiyu has died, no one can threaten . Instruct everyone to conserve energy tonight. We’ll attack Zhanling Empire tomorrow morning.” ‘Yes, Your Highness.” The deputy general had no objections to this.
The sooner they fought this battle, the better. They had missed out on so much because of Princess Yue Suiyu’s capture. They had to make up for it tomorrow.
In the granary…
Zhan Beiye was shocked when he saw that the warehouse was almost full. They filled a large granary just like that. It was simply shocking.
“It’s really full?”
He was unsure about the food in front of him.
Was he dreaming? Was he in a happy dream where he had plenty of food and could eat whenever he wanted?
He could not tell if this was a dream or a reality.
“It’s real! It’s really food!” he finally exclaid in excitent after touching the food.
“Why are you so capable? You brought so much food. If Ming Fucheng finds out, he’ll die of fury, right?” He smiled sinisterly at Qian Jiyun.
“I don’t know if he’ll die of fury, but I do know I’m disgusted by your smile,” Qian Jiyun said helplessly, refusing to look at Zhan Beiye’s face..
