1343: What Next

What Next

Gu Chaoyan did not want to think ill of the soldiers who were cheering at her name, but it was related to Xinzhou and the safety of so many people, so she had to be very careful.1

However, there were many dead corpses outside that needed to be dealt with.

The corpses would spread viruses to the civilians at Xinzhou. The snow cut some of the possibility, but the weather could change all of a sudden.

That was why General Huangpu came to ask her what they should do.

Gu Chaoyan walked as she thought about it.

Huangpu and Wu Leng followed them, knowing that they should leave Lady Chaoyan alone when she was thinking.

Gu Chaoyan took a few steps and stopped, as she said to General Huangpu. "We can't open the gate or let our soldiers walk into the array formation. The only method is to pour wine over the corpses and throw a torch to burn them up. Currently the snow hasn't covered the corpses, so we must hurry up to do so. In the meanwhile, inform the civilians that they don't need to get shocked seeing the fire."

General Huangpu nodded and gave the missions to some of his soldiers.

It was quite dangerous but was the best method so far.

They continued forward and went into the chief's tent.

They had won the battle, but it was not yet time to relax.

They needed to make a plan regarding what to do.

Back at the tent, General Huangpu soon had tea arranged for Gu Chaoyan. General Huangpu learned about Gu Chaoyan's hobby from Xia Yinghan. The condition here at Xinzhou wasn't that pleasant, but General Huangpu tried his best to meet up with her interest so he had almost everything prepared for her.

Gu Chaoyan knew that the tea was prepared for only her, so she did not get particular about it. She kept drinking the tea while she was in the tent, though the tea already tasted much worse.

"What are we going to do next?" Wu Leng was so anxious that he asked straightforwardly.

Gu Chaoyan sipped her tea before she put it down.

"We have held Xinzhou very easily, but after failing two battles, the North Qi should definitely prepare themselves fully for the next battle. There will be a lot of danger hidden ahead, but I have already got some of my men into their army."

"…"

"In this way, we will know ahead of time what they are up to and will be able to prepare," Zhou Huaijin said calmly.

The Shadow Door had many hidden guards and that was what they were best at.

General Huangpu and Wu Leng's eyes sparkled when they heard that.

Lord Huai had always stayed low-profile in front of the shining Lady Chaoyan, so what he did and how he arranged the whole situation surprised them. No wonder Lord Huai got engaged with Lady Chaoyan!

"Also, what we need to do is to take back our lost towns!" Gu Chaoyan said resolutely.
