Chapter 408: Smart and Almost Demonic
"Your Majesty's health is poor and he is suffering from a long-standing illness. He can only rely on conditioning now. However, after the border city and Xiluo are pacified, the Second Prince can return to see Your Majesty and the capital."
Xiao Jingchuan is not in the capital, but he has the support of many ministers in the court. Such a person is never a simple person.
However, from Lin Ting's point of view, one of the seventh prince and the second prince is destined to ascend the throne in the future, and Lin Ting hopes that this person is Xiao Jingchuan.
He never thought of depriving others of their property and always protected the people behind him. People like this are what the Dongxia Kingdom needs.
"With you here, I believe that peace will soon be ushered in between Dongxia and Biancheng."
Lin Ting turned around and smiled at Xiao Jingchuan: "Second Prince, are you praising me? How could I have such a powerful ability?"
Seeing Lin Ting's smiling face, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but smile too. His heart seemed to be hit by something, beating rapidly.
A woman like Lin Ting was incredibly intelligent, even smarter than his ideal woman. If Lin Ting hadn't gotten married yet, he would definitely...
Xiao Jingchuan laughed at himself, thinking that they met at the wrong time after all. Apart from Lin Ting, there would never be another woman like him in the world.
"Lin Ting, for finding the water source this time, I want to thank you on behalf of the soldiers in the army and the people in the border town. It's you who saved us time and time again.
When I write to my father, I will tell him everything you have done in detail. You deserve the credit for this."
Lin Ting never dared to take credit for what he did. He was just doing his best to help his compatriots as a Chinese citizen.
"By the way, Lin Ting, Wan Weiran said that he learned acupuncture from you. What about you? Who is your master?"
Lin Ting's master had long passed away. No matter who taught her, Xiao Jingchuan would be able to find out with just a simple investigation.
"No one taught me. When I was very young, an accident happened in my family and my sister and I fled with our family.
My parents also passed away at that time, and later my sister and I got married to make a living.
I learned all of this medical skills and knowledge from books by myself. Now it seems that I have some talent."
Lin Ting has always told this to the people of Wushan Village, and now he is telling Xiao Jingchuan the same thing, so that there will be no loopholes.
"Self-taught? Then you're really amazing. I heard that the art of acupuncture has been lost for many years, and you've actually been able to learn this skill again."
Lin Ting nodded perfunctorily. Seeing that they were just ahead of Weirui Pavilion, she was afraid that Xiao Jingchuan would continue asking questions, so she spoke quickly.
"Second Prince, we're here. You should go back early."
Xiao Jingchuan had been in the border town for so many years, but this was the first time he felt that the border town was so small. He arrived at Weirui Pavilion after just a short walk.
"Okay, then you guys go to bed early."
......
The next morning, Lin Ting was awakened by the people of the border town. People were coming and going on the streets, some were beating gongs, and some were shouting.
"Ma'am, are you awake?"
Bai Lu came in to serve Lin Ting and was in an unusually good mood.
"What's that noise outside? It's so loud!"
"Madam, we've found a water source. The Second Prince and Miss Han are asking the people to fetch water. There's enough water in the source. Early this morning, the people of the entire border town were excited.
You don’t know, the Dragon King Temple in the suburbs is crowded with people today. I think they shouldn’t go to worship the Dragon King, but should come to worship you, my lady.
This water source is only available because of you, Madam. The people of the border town have paid homage to the wrong person."
Bai Lu has suffered a lot herself, and this morning when she saw the happiness of the people in the border town because they found a water source, she was also infected.
"Why are you worshipping me? Bailu, you also helped with this matter. Why didn't you shout at the door and ask others to come and worship you?"
Lin Ting joked with Bai Lu that after today, the border town would become a new world.
"Madam, you just know how to make fun of me. Do you have any travel plans today?"
Lin Ting put on her clothes and sat in front of the mirror to put on makeup.
"We are here to do business. If we go out every day, we won't have to do business anymore."
The business in the border town is just a decoration. There is water to drink in the border town. Now all Lin Ting has to do is wait calmly.
The situation in the border town is what Bater is most concerned about at the moment. When he received the news that Xiao Jingchuan and his team had dug out an underground river, he was stunned.
"Bai E, is this news reliable? Did Xiao Jingchuan really find a water source?"
Bater was a little bit unbelievable. It wasn't raining in the border town, so how could Xiao Jingchuan dig out the underground river so accurately?
How did he do it? This is simply not something that humans can do, so how did he triumph over nature?
“Really, my lord, our people reported that they have found a water source and there is no need to wait for the rain.
The Border City army is now gathering outside the city and is about to attack our Yang City. The wheat in Yang City is not yet ripe. If it is burned down by Xiao Jingchuan's people, Xiluo will have a harder time than the Border City this year. "
"Yangcheng must not be captured. Send all of Xiro's troops to defend Yangcheng until death."
Bai E also thought that if they really fought with the border town army, they might not be able to hold on.
"Your Majesty, apart from General Saren, I'm afraid no one in Xiro can compete with Xiao Jingchuan's army. Do we really want to fight this battle?"
Bater punched the table, breaking it in two, and his eyes turned red with anger.
"Go, Bai'e, go and negotiate with Dongxia. Tell them that I agree with their proposal for a 20-year truce, for both countries to withdraw their troops and live in peace."
There is no chance of winning the fight. Bater is a new king. If he lets others attack him at his doorstep right after taking office, how will the people of Xiluo view him in the future?
Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. He hasn't even secured his throne yet, so now is not the time to start a war.
"Yes, what about General Saren and the prisoners of the Xiluo soldiers?"
Bai'e went to negotiate. Now they are in a weak position, so General Saren should also be taken back.
"Bring Saren back with you. If you can't handle this, don't go back to Xiluo."
Bai E has a long way to go, so he sets off for Yangcheng now.
Although Lin Ting was not in the military camp, she knew everything that was happening there.
Mr. Jiang sat opposite Lin Ting, drinking tea with one hand and stroking his goatee with the other.
"Madam Weirui's tea today tastes especially sweet."
The border town army has already set out towards Wushan, and Mr. Jiang, confident of victory, is drinking tea with Lin Ting here.
"Tea has a variety of flavors, and each one takes on a different flavor depending on the person's mood. Mr. Jiang is in a very good mood today."
"Hahaha...yes, I received news that King Xiluo has sent Bai'e to Yangcheng for peace talks. Naturally, I'm in a good mood."
Lin Ting had also heard of Bai E. He was not very capable in politics, but he had a clever tongue and was highly promoted by King Xiluo. He was currently a favorite of King Xiluo.
