Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 364 Is this a gift from him?

"Brother, I saw you two were chatting enthusiastically just now. It's only been a few days. Could it be that the princess has taken a fancy to you?"

Seeing Luo Jia leaving, Wei Da next to Song Yuan immediately chipped in the money and asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"You know, I'm such an outstanding person, it's not surprising that he likes me!"

Song Yuan spoke shamelessly, then laughed bitterly at the end: "He said at the beginning that he thought about me day and night, and wanted to capture me among the barbarians, whip me every day, and let me taste the suffering of the world!"

Hearing Song Yuan's joke, Wei Da laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

"If you ask me, who told you to capture the princess and steal three of her cities? You're lucky that this beauty cares so much about you!"

After patting Song Yuan on the shoulder, Wei Dazhi turned around and roared at the captives who had just returned.

"What are you guys doing here? If it weren't for the prince, do you think you could come back alive?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All of a sudden, the captives reacted and bowed to Song Yuan to express their gratitude.

In the past two days, everyone has been treated like cattle and horses in the hands of the barbarians. If Song Yuan had not come forward to exchange everyone, they would probably have ended up dying tragically at the hands of the barbarians!

"Alright, alright!"

Facing this scene, Song Yuan smiled and waved his hand, then spoke with some concern: "Don't waste time, both of you. Hurry back and eat something. You're all skin and bones!"

As he spoke, Song Yuan immediately called everyone and then retreated back into the city.

While others were arranging a good meal for the brothers.

As the deputy general, Murong Lie rushed to Song Yuan's side as soon as possible with some anxiety.

"Your Highness, the first step has been completed. I'm afraid it won't be long before the barbarians vacate the other two cities. When do you think we should send troops to reclaim them?"

"No hurry, wait a moment!"

Song Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't forget, it will probably take some time for the barbarians to retreat. Also, when the supplies from the rear can be delivered is a big problem."

"Besides, the city we're in has suffered varying degrees of damage. We should find a way to repair it properly, proceed steadily, and then proceed with the next plan!"

Sanbian City is equivalent to a bridgehead for the Qin Dynasty. In order to prevent spies from infiltrating, there are no civilians in the city.

In this case, since we can’t recruit laborers to repair the city wall, we have to do it ourselves!

Moreover, most of the houses in the city have been destroyed, and if everyone wants to settle down later, it will take a lot of time to repair them.

"Your Highness has considered everything very carefully!" Seeing that Song Yuan remained calm even at this critical moment, Murong Lie nodded with some praise.

Song Yuanquan warned Murong Lie with a serious tone instead of pride.

"General Murong, I have to trouble you to inform everyone now that it's not time to celebrate yet. So, wait until we have taken back all three cities. Then, I will let everyone celebrate!"

"I'll pay for everyone's drinks out of my own pocket, and we won't leave until we're drunk!"

"How can we let the prince pay for this kind of thing alone? Count me in!" Murong Lie was quite generous and patted his chest to take the responsibility.

Wei Da, who was standing by, saw this and quickly stepped forward: "What about me?"

"I am one too!"

"I've saved quite a bit of money, too. Count me in!"

"And I!"

When other generals around heard this topic, they also came forward.

Now, with a great victory, everyone felt proud and the silver that they had been holding in their hands, which they wanted to break into two halves.

I'm not afraid to take it out as a reward at this moment!

Men, sometimes you have to be more free and easy!

Even if it means paying a price, everyone is still willing to do it.

However, while they were happy, everyone did not forget their important business. At Song Yuan's call, Murong Lie led everyone and hurried to various places in the city to check.

Repairing the city walls will require a lot of supplies, and all the residences in the city need to be counted one by one.

Only in this way can we allocate funds nearby and avoid confusion when the time comes.

While everyone was busy, Luo Jia also followed his men back to the other two cities.

On the way, Luo Jia said nothing, and in the end it was the commander of the guards who came forward first.

"Princess, have you suffered these past two days?"

"What do you think of my expression?" Luo Jia asked back.

Without waiting for the commander to speak, he responded directly: "You know what, this guy is quite generous. Not only did he not embarrass me, but he also treated me to delicious food and drinks for several days!"

"By the way, how is Enshi doing?"

Mentioning the High Priest, a frost immediately crossed the face of the Imperial Guard Commander. "It's all that bastard Song Yuan's fault. It's because of his schemes that the High Priest is still bedridden. He's always been brooding over it..."

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this news, Luo Jia couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

As the apprentice of the high priest, Luo Jia naturally knew Bulma's character. This teacher attached great importance to face and was always quite proud in his heart.

Because of the golden sword, Bulma blamed most of the faults on herself.

I subconsciously thought that I had harmed the barbarians and suffered huge losses in vain!

In the eyes of the high priest, the matter regarding the golden knife was indeed his own negligence. If he had told him such details earlier, how could Song Yuan succeed in his evil plan?

But Luo Jia, as the commander, did not blame anyone for this matter.

After all, Luo Jia can see some things clearly!

At that time, the high priest represented the barbarians and went to the Qin Dynasty for negotiations. After returning, if he spread the news that his golden sword was won by Song Yuan in a bet!

Isn't that just smearing the barbarians' faces?

All I can say is that Song Yuan is extremely meticulous and too cunning.

He could use a golden sword to such an extreme. If it were any other ordinary person, how could he have such a plan?

After all, this matter is inseparable from Luo Jia.

If she had sent out the troops to the front earlier and let her men occupy the Peacock River in advance, Song Yuan's evil plan would naturally not succeed!

Thinking of the final result, Luo Jia unconsciously quickened his pace with a bit of self-blame.

At the same time, I was secretly glad.

Fortunately, I made a deal with Song Yuan and brought back a ginseng that was more than a thousand years old!

This thing is a treasure. After taking it, it should be able to cure the high priest!

With some anxiety, Luo Jia whipped his horse and finally arrived at the city before dark.

After getting off the horse, Luo Jia didn't even bother to rest, and immediately went to the high priest's bedside.

However, after just ten days of not seeing him, the high priest seemed like a different person. Compared to his previous pale face, his current condition was even worse!

There was no trace of blood on the high priest's cheek, it was as if it were a piece of white paper.

His former high spirits are now gone, and there is a dull look in his eyes, just like an old man who is about to die.

"Teacher!"

Noticing the high priest's appearance, Luo Jia's eyes suddenly turned red, and as he did so, he unconsciously grabbed the high priest's hand.

"You..." Seeing the princess return, a smile appeared on the high priest's face.

He tried to stand up while speaking, but after trying several times, he still failed.

"Teacher, you should have a good rest first and don't think about anything else!"

Luo Jia hurriedly pressed the high priest down and looked at the other person with concern in his eyes.

With this comfort, the high priest finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, did the prince bully you?"

"No, don't worry, Master!" Luo Jia shook her head with tears in her eyes.

A smile finally appeared on the high priest's face. "That's good, that's good!"

"Now that you're back, I have a few words to tell you. After our previous defeat, the Khan is probably under tremendous pressure. The two wise kings on both sides will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Khan sacrifice so many of his men in vain. They will definitely take this opportunity to attack!"

"I'm afraid I don't have much time left. From now on, it's all up to you to help the Khan. Remember, you must use every possible means to provoke a fight between the two of them. If that's all that matters, you can even lure them both to their deaths!"

The situation of the barbarians is very similar to that of the Qin Dynasty, and they are not united from top to bottom.

The reason why the Khan was able to defeat all the heroes before was because the soldiers under his command were strong enough.

Because of the successive defeats, most of the people lost before were the Khan's confidants.

The Khan's power was weakened, but the Left and Right Wise Kings did not suffer much loss.

With one side gaining while the other side loses, how could two ambitious people miss such an opportunity?

He will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack the Khan!

However, at such a critical juncture, facing the covetous Qin, the barbarians must not fight among themselves under such circumstances!

Naturally, someone has to step up and manage all of this.

"I know, I know everything!"

Luo Jia, with a tearful tone, quickly corrected him, "Master, please don't talk nonsense. I hope you will live a long life. Father is waiting for your assistance!"

"Oh, right, I got a thousand-year-old ginseng from that prince. Master, take a look at it. This thing will definitely make you better!"

As Luo Jia spoke, he took out the wooden box he kept close to him, opened it, and displayed the so-called ginseng in front of the high priest.

The high priest knew some medical skills, and he recognized it at a glance. How could this be ginseng? It was clearly Zhang Liu!

Looking at Luo Jia's innocent face, he immediately asked breathlessly, "Did that prince give you this?"

"How could he be so kind?" Luo Jia shook his head and said truthfully, "I spent a lot of effort to trade over a thousand war horses for this from that guy!"

More than a thousand war horses?

Upon hearing such a price, the high priest's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

Luo Jia did not notice anything unusual, and just thought that the high priest was curious, so he quickly spoke and told the story of the transaction between himself and Song Yuan.

But before he understood what Luo Jia said, the high priest felt anger rising up, and he became panic-stricken and short of breath.

It’s like taking a breath and being unable to breathe the next second!
