Chapter 1208 Famine and Natural Disaster 367

"After the battle, return to the camp and let the military doctor diagnose it."

They felt that the evidence of detoxification was that the body felt relaxed, but what Zhou Ting wanted was real results.

"Here."

Qianhu bowed awkwardly.

"The fire is smaller."

Large amounts of poison were burned in the raging fire.

Zhou Ting lowered his head and looked at Ming Yi, "It has to burn for a while. It's very poisonous. You can't get close if there's even a little bit of poison gas."

"Yes." Mingyi took his hand and stared at the Ningguo garrison, as if she could see the situation inside through the sea of ​​fire. "It's so poisonous. It's not easy for the Ningguo soldiers to survive under the smoke and fire."

Zhou Ting's eyes moved slightly, then he raised the corners of his mouth and gradually chuckled.

"In that case, we are not in a hurry." He raised his hand to call the five thousand soldiers around him and said, "Guard the area around Ningguo's garrison. Soldiers, rest here and wait for orders."

"Here."

"The last general takes orders."

The five captains bowed with one hand, arranged their management teams, and then dispersed to inform other compatriots.

General Yunhui, General Huaihua and others were puzzled when they received the order. However, when they saw the poisonous ash floating in the sky, the doubts on their lips turned into respectful acceptance.

"I understand. Go back to the commander-in-chief and obey his orders."

"Yes, I will retire at the end."

It was quarter of an hour later when everyone was informed.

In ancient times, a quarter of an hour was fifteen minutes, and two quarters of an hour was half an hour. It took several people running around for two quarters of an hour. If one person delivered the order, it would take even longer.

The five captains returned to their original positions and reported to the commander-in-chief first.

"Commander, your order has been received. All generals, please follow your orders."

"Very good." Zhou Ting nodded with satisfaction. "It's almost noon. Let the soldiers eat some dry food first. We will reward the army when we return."

"Then I will first thank the commander for his kindness and mercy on behalf of the soldiers."

  Zhou Ting:.

Ming Yi smiled and found Zhou Ting's silence funny. "We have won a great victory. The soldiers of Ningguo can't escape. What are your plans next?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Whether to attack the three countries, how to attack, and which country to destroy first, not only needs to be discussed with the generals below; but also needs to be combined with the actual situation in the Central Plains. If the civil unrest in the Central Plains does not affect the northwest, the attack can continue.

Mingyi nodded, "The Central Plains are busy with internal strife, they probably don't want to be enemies with the Northwest Army."

"It's possible. Who knows." He shook his head helplessly.

Ming Yi hummed lightly and said nothing more. In every country, there are always some people who like to do thankless tasks; they are the typical example of harming others without benefiting themselves. There are many kings in the Central Plains. If there are really some who are not afraid of offending the northwest and insist on teasing, then they have to be defeated before talking about the next step.

"Master, Master Cheng, would you like to use some too?"

A captain brought a bag of dry food.

Zhou Ting took it, took out a piece from it with his bare hands and gave it to Mingyi.

"Thank you." Mingyi took it and took a bite, but it knocked his teeth against the food. If he kept eating like this, his teeth would be eaten away sooner or later.

Zhou Ting took out a piece and ate it. After eating such food, he relived the good feeling.

Mingyi took two bites and gave up. This thing was not suitable to be eaten dry. She held it up with a handkerchief and put it in her arms. She didn't want to eat it for the time being. It made her feel depressed.

Zhou Ting was always paying attention to her every move. He saw everything she did and smiled apologetically, "At least eat a little, otherwise you will be hungry later. You can only have a hot meal when you return to the camp."

"I can't chew it anymore." She was unmoved, and he shook his head, "If you're hungry, just take a bite."

Now is a critical period, and the commander-in-chief cannot leave without permission, and the same goes for the secret guards and soldiers around him; even if he wants to hunt for her to get some food, it is impossible, and he can only let her adapt.

"I know. Don't worry about me."

Compared to Joshua Wong, she is indeed much more pampered.

Seeing her looking at the Ningguo headquarters expressionlessly, Zhou Ting felt guilty and painful in his heart.

It would be better if she was not allowed to come to Fucheng, so that she would not have to suffer with him; running around outside is fun, but it is not as comfortable as being pampered at home.

Look at his concubine sisters, who is willing to come to Fucheng? They all want to stay in Fucheng and live a good life; even if their brothers are working hard outside, they have never thought of going there to take a look. They have been raised since they were young, and there is only a small courtyard in front of them. There is no need for them to understand the outside world.

"Chao Sheng, don't look at me like that. You make me feel like I'm going to die at any moment."

Agnes Chow: A familiar feeling.

Mingyi: Oops, I just said it.

"Well, I quite like the outside world. I can get used to anything I eat and use." Don't think of sending her away.

  Zhou Ting:.

"Also, my life here is more fulfilling than at home."

  Zhou Ting:.

He stared at her for a long time in silence, and only blinked after he finished the dry biscuit in his hand.

Mingyi felt uneasy when he looked at her, "Chaosheng, hold back."

"Forget it." Zhou Ting sighed helplessly, "Next time I'll have someone prepare some food to bring along."

At least she can't be allowed to eat these hard things anymore.

Mingyi didn't comment on this. If she was really that hungry, what could she not eat? But she wasn't that hungry yet.

"Are you full? If not, I'll give you this too."

  Agnes Chow: Shut up?

"Eat." He took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.

Zhou Ting sighed again and pushed it back; this one biscuit was enough. He was not a big eater, just an ordinary person with a normal diet. A palm-sized dry biscuit, solid and with real ingredients, was enough to fill the stomach of an adult.

It’s true that it doesn’t taste good, it’s true that it’s hard, and it’s true that it fills you up.

"Don't eat?"

Zhou Ting shook his head, "I'm full already, just pretend. If you're hungry, take a bite and chew slowly."

If he couldn't finish it, he could take it back and soak it in water; however, he didn't say this out loud, there was no need to say it.

"Well, if you're hungry, tell me. It'll take me a long time to finish this big pancake. We can share it."

Zhou Ting was speechless, but felt even more distressed; he took her to find a tent to stay in. The tent was spacious and the people inside had been cleared out long ago. Only a faint smell of blood remained, which was not very pungent. After the tent curtain was hung up and the tent was constantly ventilated, the smell would become lighter and lighter.

Mingyi accepted the fine life that she couldn't live in other places.

"The fire outside should continue to burn for a while, and the poison gas will not dissipate for a while; we will camp in the enemy camp first, and then explore the Ningguo garrison after the poison gas dissipates."

"Well, I have no objection, but what about the people in the grasslands and the Western Regions? I see there are quite a few captives; what should we do with them?"

"Kill them, keeping them will waste food; food is precious now and cannot be wasted." Few of the captives from the two countries are orphans. As long as they have relatives in the Western Regions and grasslands, they will not truly betray their country and join their Northwest Army.

Since he is a useless person, what is the point of keeping him?

Mingyi's eyebrows and eyes were slightly stiff, not as lively and active as before.
