Commander Maoâs adjutant was startled and looked at the arrow that was heading towards Fei Yang Kingdomâs side.
His heart was beating fast.
He hoped that this would succeed.
Tak!
In the middle between the two of them, an arrow shot out, striking the arrow from Commander Mao halfway through.
Swish! Clang!
At the same time, a knife was thrown in the back arrowâs direction, shattering the bottle containing the poison.
âThatâsâŠâ
The soldiers nearby were startled by the sudden commotion above them, but this kind of thing had happened a few times. Thus, they were not very concerned.đđđ„âŻđłđ·đźxt.đđđ
Nan Hua looked at the shattered bottle and yelled, âRETREAT!â
The poison was transmitted through the air and could enter their body through the air. They had to evacuate from here as fast as possible before the poison reached them.
âYes!â
The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom turned around and began to retreat in orderly manner.
Nan Hua kept the crossbow she had been holding on the side of her horse and then led the horse away.
In just a few seconds, piercing scream rang out in the battlefield.
âAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!â
âMy hands!â
âMy eyes!â
Screams of horror spread from the battlefield as the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom retreated.
When Nan Hua shattered that bottle, the arrow was still above the soldiers of Zhang Xu Kingdoms, so they would bear the brunt first. But if the wind was heading towards them, then the situation might not be too good for them.
Drap! Drap! Drap!
Without hesitation, everyone quickly retreated, rushing towards their respective headquarter.

âGreat General Wei, someone shot the arrow faster than me,â a soldier quickly reported to Great General Wei.
Great General Wei was looking into the distance, at the chaos in the battlefield and quickly waved his hand. âOrder retreat. The poison spread through the air.â
The soldierâs face changed and quickly ordered the soldiers to raise the flag to order them to retreat as fast as possible.
What a joke.
If they were all to be poisoned, how were they going to fight the subsequent battle against Zhang Xu Kingdom?
There were hundreds thousands of soldiers from both sides gathered here. If they were all die because of the poison, this would be the biggest joke in the world.
âWhereâs Mu Qing?â Great General Wei recalled his daughter who was staying at the frontline.
âReplying to Great General Wei, Second Young Miss Wei was at the headquarter, treating the injured soldiers from yesterdayâs battle who hadnât recovered.â
âCall her back.â
I think you should take a look at
âYes, Great General Wei.â
There was no guarantee that these soldiers wouldnât be poisoned and if they were to be poisoned, how fast the poison would spread?
Great General Wei felt that Zhang Xu Kingdom was really digging a big hole today and didnât plan to cover the hole back again. He was sure that after today, this battle would definitely be spread out to increase Zhang Xu Kingdomâs ruthlessnessâ reputation and many others.
Thankfully, that princess acted faster.
If it was slower, the number of poisoned soldiers on their side would definitely increase exponentially.
âRetreat in orderly manner. Try not cause panic.â
âYes, Great General Wei.â
Even though that was what the soldiers said, they looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance and felt that it was highly impossible.
Oh well, letâs just try it.
âYour Majesty, please return to the back. Itâs not safe here.â Great General Wei walked to the side and cupped his fist.
Emperor Yang Zhou originally wanted to see this battle to completion. But looking at the chaotic battlefield in the middle where everyone was trying to stay away, he understood that Zhang Xu Kingdom was playing another tricks.
What kind of poison did they had made again?
âGive me detailed report of that poison.â Emperor Yang Zhouâs expression was dark.
If that poison was to be used again, they wouldnât be able to fight properly. How were they supposed to continue this war like this?
They would be forced to halt again on the premise of investigating the poisonâs antidotes and raising their defense.
Would they end up being forced to fight a long distance battle?
That would be suffocating.
âYes, Your Majesty.â Great General Wei also understood the implication of such poison on the battlefield. It was like ending the war ahead of time because Zhang Xu Kingdom had a weapon that no other kingdom would be able to face.
But he had the feeling that this kind of poison wouldnât be easy to make.
If it was easy, Zhang Xu Kingdom wouldnât purposely aim towards Emperor Yang Zhou in the first place.

âFather ordered for me to return?â Wei Mu Qing had just washed her hand and looked at the soldiers from her father with confusion.
âYes. There are some situations on the frontline and itâll be safer for you to return.â The soldier cupped his fist politely but his stance and words clearly leave no room for negotiation.
This is an order.
Knowing that her father didnât want to put her in danger, Wei Mu Qing nodded obediently. She still wished to treat more injured soldiers, but she also knew that she was only allowed to help on the premise that her safety was guaranteed.
If not, her father would never let her come here and would just lock her in the boudoir to wait for marriage.
âIs the situation really bad?â Wei Mu Qing asked after she cleaned up and her maidservants helped to carry her bag and equipment.
âReplying to Second Young Miss Wei, Zhang Xu Kingdom is making a new type of poison and spread it on the battlefield once again.â
Poison.
Wei Mu Qingâs delicate eyebrows furrowed when she heard this. She had been researching the poison from Zhang Xu Kingdom and also recalled the antidotes that Nan Luo showed to her.
