General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 992: The Dark Guards Attack (2)

"They seem to think that City Lord Qu is the one who controls everything, so they are targeting City Lord Qu." Lou Yu said, "But the news that came back is that the Fourth Prince has brought 100,000 troops to fight against the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister's main city gates are tightly closed and he did not come out to fight."

"The Second Prince has also been preparing his troops recently. According to the news sent back by Zhao Hu, the Second Prince has already sent an advance force to attack the Fourth Prince." Lou Yu added.

"Okay! You must be more careful outside." Looking at Lou Yu's expression, Chen Wan'er knew that the current battle situation was very tense. They had already started fighting, and they would not stop until the final victory was decided.

"How dare I get hurt for you!" Lou Yu smiled and kissed Chen Wan'er. "I will leave for home tomorrow, you..."

"I know, go ahead!" Chen Wan'er nodded.

The two hugged each other tightly until the next day, when before dawn, Lou Yu secretly got up and prepared to set off.

After Lou Yu left, Chen Wan'er opened her eyes, looked at his departing back, and closed her eyes again.

After daybreak, Chen Wan'er told Ji Xiao'er and others the news that Lou Yu had brought back. Ji Xiao'er was listening to Chen Wan'er's words and was thinking in her mind.

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?" Duan Yue asked, looking at Ji Xiaomu's expression.

"You all know that once a war breaks out, no matter what we do, it will consume a large amount of food. To feed so many mouths, they must be well fed to have the strength to fight, right?" Ji Xiaomu analyzed.

"Yes! That's for sure. Once a war breaks out, whether it's on or not, the daily food consumption will not be less." Duan Yue said and glanced at Ji Xiaomu. Is there any connection between them?

"If I say that I think the chances of a fight between the Prime Minister and the Fourth Prince are not high, would you think I'm talking nonsense?" Ji Xiaowu looked at them and asked.

"Why did sister-in-law say that?" Duan Yue and Chen Wan'er looked at each other and asked in confusion.

"I call it woman's intuition. Think about it, Fang Chen said before that the Prime Minister and the Fourth Prince have spies in Heyang City, right? Then they must know that there is no shortage of food in Heyang City. Now they have attacked City Lord Qu six times. Could it be that they just want to capture City Lord Qu?" said Ji Xiaomu.

"I think that's just a trick to divert attention. Their main purpose is to get the food of Heyang City! Whoever captures Heyang City will have an endless supply of food! If they fight now, it will cost people a lot of money and will definitely result in a lose-lose situation." Ji Xiaomu said again.

"With the food from Heyang City, can they win together?" Duan Yue thought about what Ji Xiaomu said and felt that it made sense.

On the contrary, the possibility is still very high.

"Sister-in-law, do you think they will unite and attack Heyang City first?" Chen Wan'er's face turned pale. The Fourth Prince has 100,000 soldiers and horses. How can Heyang City resist?

"I think there's an 80% chance!" Ji Xiaomu thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this sudden guess might be true.

"You, they can sneak in, a total of six waves of people go to capture City Lord Qu. What else can the secret guards do besides capturing people? Wouldn't it be better to spy on intelligence?" said Ji Xiaomu.

"Sister-in-law, I think you are right. I will go tell my brother!" Duan Yue's face changed slightly. If this is true, then... Fang Chen and the others are in great need of manpower.

"Go ahead!" Ji Xiaowu nodded. No matter whether it was true or false, she would first tell Fang Chen about this guess. It is always better to be preventive!
