“Yes.” Yu Rong, seeing she wasn’t willing to explain, pouted slightly and left.
After washing up, Gu Qingtong had some light porridge and let Yu Rong continue the acupuncture, and she also drank the medicine brewed by Yu Guang.
Gu Qingtong smiled softly, talked to him for a while, and asked him to watch from the city walls, promising to inform him first if they won. Yu Guang, now with a task and having shared his frustrations, happily went to follow her instructions.
Yu Rong massaged her foot and performed acupuncture twice. The swelling had gone down, but she still needed two days of rest to fully recover.”
Outside, the war drums thundered, continuing for about a tea’s time before suddenly erupting with shouts and sounds of battle from outside the city.
Thousands of horses neighed, the battlefield’s brutal scene feeling as if it was happening right beside her.
Gu Qingtong couldn’t see, but she could still sense the chaos.
After noon, the sounds gradually subsided. Just as Gu Qingtong was thinking of going out to see what happened, Xia Xi General suddenly roared, startling her. Then soldiers’ voices rose, and she realized the Yuanchao Kingdom had won!
Soon, Yu Guang ran back: “Sister, we won! We won!”
“I know!” Gu Qingtong, hearing everyone’s joyful voices, couldn’t help but have tears in her eyes.
Yu Guang danced around, continuing to share what he saw: “Sister, you don’t know how impressive the general was! Especially when the enemy heard that their Yanshan City was broken by the Cavalry General’s thousand elite soldiers – they completely collapsed! Xia Xi General barely exerted any effort and wiped them out! They even captured the Ruling King, and a county king named Yun Yan who foolishly tried to rescue him was captured by their main general, Yun Shan. Yun Shan led several thousand to retreat, but Deputy General Xie Yan led several thousand and took down Lan Ka City, forcing Yun Shan to bypass it and flee.

“What about the Ruling King?”
“The general has him locked up, waiting for the Cavalry General to decide his fate. But after this defeat, with Yanshan City taken, Cloud Qi Kingdom will definitely have to cede land and seek peace!”
