Chapter 1210 Famine and Natural Disaster 369

Pulling her to his side, Zhou Ting was concerned about his reputation and directly held her hand, fearing that she would suddenly run away.

Mingyi pulled her wrist out of his grasp and said, "Commander, the remaining trace of poisonous smoke is not threatening to those who have taken the antidote."

"Okay." He gave an order to the thousand households around him, "Inform General Huaihua and others to attack and search."

"Here."

Several thousand households dispersed.

After the notification was received, the soldiers who had taken the antidote powder entered the Ningguo camp together and searched the tents one by one. They saw that all the poisoned people had dark blue faces and deep black lips, and had been dead for some time.

  Regardless of whether the degree of poisoning is severe or mild, it will result in death!

"It's so poisonous!"

"Fortunately we have the antidote, otherwise, we would have died as well."

"The people of Ningguo really deserve it. Why would a good person use poison to do that?"

"Poison is a scourge. They are really not afraid of dying from it. But what's happening now? The retribution has come. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."

Once their Poison Powder and Antidote Powder were made, Ningguo's poison was nothing to them.

Instead, the people of Ning died from various poisons. Although it was a coincidence, it is undeniable that the people of Ning used poison on their Northwest Army, and now they also died from poison. How refreshing!

"Keep searching, finish off those who are still alive, and don't leave any prisoners." A captain gave the order loudly.

"Here!"

"The last general takes orders."

Everyone searched each tent with knives in hand. Those who were lucky enough not to be poisoned had fainted from hunger. They killed them one by one and sent them down to reunite.

After a thorough investigation, only two poison masters who had escaped poisoning by hiding in water jars were left at the Ningguo garrison. With the help of water and their extensive knowledge of poisons, they barely managed to avoid the invasion of the poisonous smoke.

Two hours later, the spoils of victory that had been won without a single soldier were counted. There were hundreds of thousands of cold weapons of all kinds, more than 2,000 tents, gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of leather. Everything that could be taken away was taken away, and those that could not be taken away were piled up and burned.

The whole army won a great victory.

The soldiers carried one or four or five cold weapons on their backs, dismantled the tents and took their belongings, then marched back to the camp in a mighty procession.

Before we reached the camp, we saw a group of soldiers waiting on a loess hill three hundred meters away from the camp, waving their hands and shouting excitedly.

"They're back!"

"Come on! They're back!"

Many people ran out of the camp again. Mingyi saw from afar that they seemed to be from the medical camp and the cook camp. Because the battle was one-sided, these people did not go to the battlefield and stayed at home to guard the camp.

"Great, I'm finally back. I won, right?"

"We definitely won! Look at what everyone is carrying. There are so many people, and everyone has something on them."

"Ahhh, we won! We won! Even if the armies of the Three Kingdoms come to attack us, we will win too!"

  They can go home!

If the war is won, they will still be alive and can go home to be with their wives, children and elderly parents.

Cheering, shouting, and running like crazy.

Every time they went to an expedition, they were prepared to die on the front line. Even the soldiers in the military doctors and cooks' battalion never thought of retreating.

If they retreated, what would happen to their families, relatives, and friends if the enemy broke through the defense line and entered the northwest? Who would protect them?

For the sake of the family and the people they care about, no one wants to back down.

Mingyi and Zhou Ting rode side by side on horseback, and laughed when they saw the scene ahead.

"This game went so smoothly, everyone was so happy."

"You should be happy." Zhou Ting nodded. He was happy too.

However, the next step is the most important. Arriving at the camp, collecting the spoils, with General Huaihua and others manipulating the situation, Zhou Ting pulled Mingyi back to the tent.

Chunxi and Chunmei cried with joy when they saw them return safely.

"Master Cheng, Master, I hope you come back safely."

"Mr. Cheng, are you hungry? Are you tired? I'll prepare hot water and food for you." Chunmei's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her. She was relieved to see that she was not injured. After the excitement passed, she remembered her tiredness outside and showed her great concern.

Chunxi nodded in agreement, "Master Cheng, you and the commander can rest for a while, and we will prepare food."

Mingyi smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

"You are too kind. This is what we servants should do."

The two of them quickly ran towards the cooks' camp.

Mingyi smiled brightly, Zhou Ting smiled as well, looking at her tenderly, "Go in and rest for a while, you can eat the hot water and food when they come. I have something to arrange over there, I'll come to see you later."

"Okay, go ahead."

Mingyi nodded readily. Zhou Ting should have felt relaxed, but he felt disappointed. She really didn't act like she cared much about him. No, that couldn't be said. One could only say that she didn't care about him like a woman would care about a man.

They are now more like good friends and confidants.

Walking away with a disappointed heart, Zhou Ting returned to the tent and called An San, "Tomorrow's celebration banquet will be held. Go and tell the captain of the kitchen camp to buy more cattle and sheep from Fucheng and the surrounding towns. Go buy them tonight and hold a celebration banquet at noon tomorrow. Let's have a great time."

"I obey your orders." An San bowed and replied respectfully, "Master, do you want to go back to the palace to get some food?"

"No need, just eat like this today, and it will be ready tomorrow."

"Here."

An San took the order and left. After Zhou Ting thought it over again and again, he felt that Ming Yi should be sent back to the palace. The war was over. Even if the three countries discovered the problem, they knew that their people had been wiped out and would not dare to launch another attack in a short time.

When a country loses tens of thousands of people, it is a serious blow and it will take several years to recover.

They were going to discuss whether to attack other countries next, so it would be inappropriate for Mingyi to stay in the camp. This was already an exception, and it would not be appropriate to keep her any longer.

However, how can I persuade her to return to the palace?

Zhou Ting was thinking, and having nothing to do, he got up and walked out of the tent; he stood outside, looking at the sky, listening to the soldiers' joy and shouting, with something in his mind.

Chunxi and Chunmei came back with food and hot water. They saw Zhou Ting standing outside the tent with his head raised in silence. They looked at each other and led their people straight into the tent.

Two basins of hot water were put down, and two servings of hot food were placed on the table. The person who came to deliver the things was sent away, and Chunmei walked to Mingyi.

"Master Cheng, we saw the prince outside. Why didn't he come over?"

Mingyi looked up at them without saying much; she washed her hands first and then her face.

Chunmei and Chunxi looked at each other, and seeing that Mingyi didn't say anything, they kept silent and helped her wash up.

"Pour out the basin of water. I'll go call the coach." After saying that, he walked out.

Sure enough, she saw Zhou Ting outside with a quiet aura. She walked up to him and asked, "Chao Sheng, are you done?"

"Hmm?" Zhou Ting came back to his senses and smiled softly, "I'm done with my work and was just about to go over there."

"Then let's go. The hot food has been delivered. It will get cold if you don't eat it now."

"it is good."

Walking hand in hand, they tacitly agreed that neither of them said anything and the other asked any questions.
