Chapter 583: Poor Abandoned Prince
The city was filled with blood, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was pungent.
Marquis Jing'an stood on the city tower and watched it all day. It was not until dark that the Pingnan army, who was sieging the city, slowly retreated, and he slowly turned around and walked down the city tower.
All day long, he witnessed the entire siege, and during this period he shot and killed more than a dozen Pingnan troops. Because more than a dozen personal guards were protected by his side at any time, Li Xin was safe and sound except for the slashed arms of the raven.
After he walked down the city tower, he saw that there were many injured imperial guards downstairs of Mianzhucheng, who were carried down one by one. After cleaning and treating the wound with Zhurong wine, he found a doctor below to help bandage it in advance.
Li Xin went over and looked around, asked about the injuries of some wounded people, and then went to the city gate to confirm that there was nothing serious about the city gate, and then returned to his residence.
His place of residence is next to the county government office, which is considered the center of Mianzhu. When he returned to his residence, there was not much noise here, and it was so quiet that the battle outside the city did not affect the area.
After entering the residence, Zhao Jia had been appointed as a marquis here for a long time. Seeing Li Xin coming in, he quickly stood up from the stool and said, "Marty, my subordinates have done what you have told me."
Li Xin sat down tiredly and waved his hand at Zhao Jia.
"Brother You'an, don't be polite, sit down and talk."
Li Xin has never paid much attention to these rules, so Zhao Jia didn't pay much attention to it. He simply sat down and lowered his eyebrows at Li Xin and said, "Marty, the casualties today have not been counted. However, when his subordinates were on the city tower, they estimated that they had at least several thousand people killed or injured in the Pingnan Army throughout the day of siege today. If they were bolder, this number should be as high as five thousand."
It is a very exaggerated number to lose 5,000 people a day. Even if it is a large-scale corps battle on the plains, it is hard to imagine losing 5,000 people in a day.
This time, the Pingnan Army fought for life and forcibly attacked the city regardless of casualties. This was the terrifying number of casualties.
Marquis Jing'an was not much happy, but just said lightly: "Where is our army?"
Zhao Jia lowered his head and lowered his voice a little.
"I'm afraid there are two or three thousand people, but we have Zhurong's wine. As long as the soldiers are not injured too much, they will not lose their lives."
Zhurongjiu has been proven to be able to remove external poisons. After being disinfected by Zhurongjiu, as long as you are stronger, you can survive, instead of getting inflamed or tetanus like before, your wound will be gone.
Li Xin nodded and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Brother You'an, thank you for your hard work, let's go down and rest."
"They should come again tomorrow."
Zhao Jia stood up and bowed to Li Xin and said, "The Marquis should also take a break soon, and the overall situation in Mianzhu is entirely up to the Marquis to preside over it."
Li Xin nodded and forced a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm not a Virgin, I'll die if I die."
Of course, Zhao Jia couldn't understand what the Virgin means. He stopped and asked in surprise: "Marty, what does Virgin mean?"
Li Xin waved his hand.
"It's meaningless, I'll talk to Brother You'an in the future."

As Li Xin said, the attack of the Pingnan Army on the second day was much weaker than the first day. Ye Mao was a little anxious on the first day, and even felt a little overwhelmed. However, by the second day, the young master was much more comfortable. He just casually bent his bow and arrows, shooting a few arrows from time to time, and each arrow could accurately shoot a soldier from Pingnan Army.
He was born in the Ye family and practiced bows and arrows with his family at the age of five. He shot arrows within fifty steps and shot nine out of ten within a hundred steps. This is the most basic requirement of the Ye family. If he fails to meet this standard, he will probably be less than sixteen years old and he will be beaten to death by the irritable Mr. Ye.
Because there was not much pressure on this day, Li Xin only watched the city wall for a long time. At noon, he reminded Zhao Jia a few words and went back to bed.
When he walked down the city tower, his hanging heart was completely relieved, because after this step, the situation in the southwest was completely settled.
On the third day, the Pingnan Army suffered heavy casualties but had no results, and it already had a sense of timidity.
On that day, Marquis Jing'an simply came and did not come. He entrusted all the matter of defending the city to Ye Mao and He Song.
Just as Marquis Jing'an was resting at home, a fat man came to the door.
It was the deposed prince Ji Ku who was arranged by Li Xin to live in the same house with him.
Originally, Marquis Jing'an was taking a nap happily. After being awakened by Ji Ku's arrival, he walked out of the door yawning. As soon as he went out, he saw the fat King of Qin, standing at his door, with a timid expression.
To be honest, Li Xin still admires the deposed prince. Li Xin heard about his situation from Li Shuo. If anyone had anybody, they might not be willing to come out in Jincheng with wine, meat and women, but this former prince was willing to walk out of Jincheng and come to a dead place like Mianzhu.
He knew in his heart that when he really returned to the capital, he would basically die without life, but he still came out resolutely.
Perhaps it was for the small family of the Qin Prince's Mansion in the capital, or perhaps it was for the Ji surname on him.
Li Xin sorted out his clothes and bent over to Ji Chi, saying, "Why is Your Highness King Qin coming?"
Ji Chi quickly returned the favor to Li Xin, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Mr. Li, I have always heard the sound of fighting outside these days, and I always feel a little scared. Seeing that Mar. Li didn't go out today, I thought about coming over and asking, and seeing what was going on."
Li Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the King of Qin, I agree that I will not fight again tomorrow. Then Your Highness, Your Highness, will have a good sleep."
Speaking of this, Li Xin was about to end the conversation.
"If your Highness has nothing else, Li Xin still has some matters to deal with..."
This fat man is a huge disaster. With his identity, he is actually not much different from the plague god in Taikang Chao. Basically, whoever gets close to him will be in trouble.
Even if Li Xin said a few more words to him, there would be some rumors when it was spread in the future.
But the fat prince obviously refused to let Li Xin go. He bowed to Li Xin and said, "Marty Li, if you have time, can Rong Gu ask a few questions?"
Li Xin paused, then smiled and said, "Your Highness, King of Qin, but it's okay."
The fat man took a few deep breaths, sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly spoke: "Mr. Li, my third and fourth brothers, what's going on now?"
Li Xin said with a smile: "His Highness King Zhao and His Highness King Qi are now in their respective fiefs, and each of them is a vassal city. I think he should live a good life. His Highness King Qin asked what he did?"
The deposed prince lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Marty Li is so smart, he should understand. Gu is actually trying to ask if Gu still has a way out after he returns to Beijing?"
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Highness is too worried. Your Majesty is the king of kindness. Your Majesty is Your Majesty's brother. After returning to the capital, it is the time when the two brothers reconcile, so there is a way out."
The fat man's face turned pale.
His voice was trembling.
"Mr. Li, don't coax me. I have been thinking about it these days, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that Lao Qi can't tolerate me."
He looked at Li Xin with some pleading.
"Marty Li, I will die if I die, but I want to go back to the capital and die again. I want to meet my wife and children..."
Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his head and did not speak.
To be honest, he didn't want to kill Ji Ku.
