Chapter 263: Contempt, The war became intense
Not only Xiao Tianyao was curious about Lin Chujiu’s luck, but also Liu Bai.
Su Cha didn’t let them wait for long, he said: “When w.a.n.gfei was rescuing the two, Meng Daren’s son, Meng Xiuyuan happened to be at Zhuque Street.”
“Meng Xiuyuan?” Liu Bai’s opened his mouth in amazement: “How can there be such a good coincidence?” This luck was too good.
“That’s why I said, w.a.n.gfei is lucky.” Su Cha’s eyes slightly s.h.i.+ne, he looked very happy.
Xiao Tianyao gently nodded his head: “She was indeed lucky.” He was still thinking about, what to do to make Meng Family notice Lin Chujiu’s medical talent. But it seemed, he doesn’t need to do anything anymore, Lin Chujiu already met Meng Xiuyuan.
However, Su Cha also has concerns: “But, I’m afraid that, Meng Family might think that we only designed this event.”
“It doesn’t matter, if Lin Chujiu has no real ability, no matter how many times we designed, it will be useless.” Meng Daren was smart. Even if he designed things, nor make calculations. Meng Daren will know if it was a trap or not.

Just like what Xiao Tianyao thinks, Meng Daren believed that it was only instigated by Xiao Tianyao, but he was not disgusted. Xiao Tianyao only let them see the strength of his w.a.n.gfei. Meng Family’s final decision has nothing to do with him.
“Xiao w.a.n.gye is good in calculation.” Regardless of what Xiao Tianyao’s purpose was, they now know that Xiao w.a.n.gfei has medical talent. And she was the person who cured Xiao w.a.n.gye and Prince Xiao Zian’s illness. Meng Daren now finally see some hope.
Xiao Tianyao put out this play, just to tell them that not only Divine Doctor Mo is their hope.
“Xiuyuan, if your not willing to accept Divine Doctor Mo’s treatment, how about Xiao w.a.n.gfei?” Meng Daren handed the information his hidden spies had found to his son: “But, these things might be false. Xiao w.a.n.gfei’s medical skills were superb, but she was not as popular as Divine Doctor Mo.”
Meng Xiuyuan didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he read the written information on the paper. He looked at it two to three times more. After reading, he wrote only two words: No hurry!
Yes, there is no need to hurry.
Meng Xiuyuan really hopes that he can speak, but he was not in a hurry. After all, even if he can’t speak, he can live very well. He was satisfied with his current life. If his parents didn’t insist, he will not come to the East for medical treatment.
But of course, it would be better if he could speak like the others. However, it was not urgent, nor necessary.
“Well, I’ll listen to you, there is no hurry.” Meng Daren knows that he can’t convince his son, so he only left.

Because of Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao’s partic.i.p.ation in the Ci Entang’s case, the commotion became big. The next day, the State of Officials and the Ministry of Revenue were summoned and condemned with neglecting their duties.
The Ci Entang was under the management of the Ministry of Revenue. When such a big thing happened, their department was reprimanded tremendously.
The emperor was completely unaware of the sinful event behind the Ci Entang. However, although he was dissatisfied with the Ministry of Revenue, he was even more dissatisfied with Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao.
In the emperor’s point of view, Xiao Tianyao exposed the ugly things of Ci Entang in order to hit his face.
The emperor scolded the Ministry of Revenue, he ordered him to investigate everything about this case and punish the responsible person according to the law. At the same time, the State Official was scolded for falsely accusing people.
With the words of the emperor, the court officials didn’t say anything. The incident in Ci Entang became big, but it was only a trivial matter. It can be said that this incident was only noticed because Xiao Tianyao was involved.
If Xiao Tianyao didn’t appear in Ci Entang, this incident will be erased by the officials silently and will not reach the Emperor’s ears.
After all, compared to the Ci Entang, the grains that were robbed was far more important.
And judging from the recent battle report, the front line was very nervous. In the beginning, Eminent Xu used his troops wisely and won several battles. He didn’t attack rashly, he has been fighting steadily. The Emperor almost thought that the victory was in his sight. However, Xiao Tianyao’s legs were cured!
After confirming this news, the Emperor immediately ordered Eminent Xu to attack the Northern Army with all his strength. He must catch off guard the Northern Army and end the war as soon as possible. If necessary, he could sacrifice the 300, 000 soldiers that originally belongs to Xiao Tianyao, but… …
The Northern Army also received the news that Xiao Tianyao’s legs were cured. The Northern Army knew very well that the East Emperor hate Xiao Tianyao the most and will plan to the end the war as soon as possible. So that, Xiao Tianyao will not get a chance to regain his power.
The Northern Army also had the same idea as the East Emperor, but went on ahead. Using the idea of ending the war as soon as possible, the Northern Army swindled the East Army and led them into a forest.
The 200,000 strongest armies of the East disappeared in the forest. But not only that, the grains for the front line army also disappeared.
The missing 200,000 strongest armies happened to be the original soldiers of Xiao Tianyao. Under the command of Eminent Xu, they chased the Northern Army in the forest. They were used as the cannon fodder to rush and attack the Northern Army.
The forest was dense and has complicated road. It was almost impossible for the people to survive. Even if the army has enough food, it will not last long. People with brains will never enter that forest. Therefore, when Eminent Xu learned that the 200,000 soldiers and grains disappeared altogether after entering the forest, he knew right away that he was played.
The Northern Army didn’t plan it all alone. They made plans together with Xiao w.a.n.gye. With this method, Xiao w.a.n.gye was able to save and recover his powerful army.
The 300,000 soldiers that Xiao w.a.n.gye has personally trained could be said that the most fearsome army in the Eastern Country. Even the North Army was scared of them. But now, the 200, 000 soldiers and the injured 100, 000 soldiers were missing. Even if the Eastern Country added another 300,000 soldiers, the Northern Army will not be fearful of them.
The Northern Army’s defeat was in sight, but because of this play, they ended up victorious. On another hand, because of their sudden defeat, the morale of other Eastern soldiers became low. Coupled with the loss of a large number of grains, the Eastern Army was left in a bad situation.
Eminent Xu Da immediately wrote a letter to report the situation on the front line and also wrote his own speculation. So, when the emperor read his report, the emperor almost cough up blood in anger.
He wants to use this war to consume Xiao Tianyao’s army and stop him from regaining his military power. But now that Xiao Tianyao’s soldiers disappeared in the forest, he knew right away that it was Xiao Tianyao’s conspiracy.
Xiao Tianyao must be investigated because of this. But, the most urgent task right now was the war between Eastern and Northern Country. The Eastern Country cannot lose. Or more likely, the East Emperor cannot lose.
The Emperor immediately decreed, not only to send enough food to Eminent Xu but also gave him an additional 200,000 soldiers and horses. Now that there were 700,000 soldiers and horses in Eminent Xu’s hands. The Northern Army had no chance to win this war. The Emperor was full of confidence in the next battle, but… …
The grains that were sent again to the front line was robbed.
The consumption of 700,000 soldiers each day was not small. Eminent Xu couldn’t support them all.
He wanted to rob back the grains in the ghost mountain, but the most important issue right now was to feed the front line.
The Eastern Country was rich in food and resources. They have enough strength to raise grains in their land. But, who will send the grains in the front line? Won’t they encounter another incident?
The Eastern Country was rich, but they cannot afford to be robbed again. The most important thing was, the front line could no longer wait for the third batch of grains… …
