It's okay not to say it, but as soon as she said it, the woman's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Bao'er has no other family, and I am his only relative."

Ji Wan immediately apologized, "I'm sorry." ”

The woman shook her head and said sadly, "Miss didn't say anything wrong, there is no need to apologize, Bao'er and I are already grateful to Dade for surviving, but it is a pity that such a big gunpowder fell from the sky, and many people in our village were killed." ”

"Gunpowder?" Ji Wan frowned, why hadn't she heard of such a thing.

The ones used in ordinary wars are nothing more than bows and arrows, swords, etc., and there is no such thing as gunpowder.

But the woman told her that this time in the Chengguo army, a new weapon appeared, I heard what it was called, it was very powerful, as long as one fell, their village would be gone, the child's father and grandparents were killed, she took the child not in the village, so she escaped this catastrophe.

Chi Wan sighed when she heard it, "I see, there is a city in front of you, you can take the child in there." ”

The woman thanked her again before leaving with the child, but Chi Wan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, the whole family was killed, and only women and children were left, what a cruel thing it was. But what is that cannonball, so powerful? Chi Wan was puzzled.

And Xie Yutang actually helped such a country to attack his own country, which made Chi Wan's heart more and more uncomfortable.

On this day, she found the Nine Princes and said that she had something to tell him, and after the Nine Princes let her in, he poured her a cup of tea and asked, "What does Miss Chi want to say?" ”

Chi Wan suddenly didn't want to say it again, looking at the face of the Ninth Prince, her heart was entangled, she knew that once she said it, Xie Yutang would be finished.

"I ...... I just want to ask the prince, are we going to move on? ”

Beyond that, we are about to go to the battlefield.

The Ninth Prince felt strange in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Miss Chi doesn't want to continue leaving?" ”

Chi Wan shook her head, "No, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable when I see a lot of homeless people." ”

"Miss Chi is a soft-hearted person, and so is this king, I can't see such a scene, but the matter has not been investigated clearly, and this king will continue to go. I finally came out once, how can I just go back. At the end, there was a hint of amazement in his voice.

Chi Wan looked at the other party suspiciously, isn't the Ninth Prince a person who is used to being free, he didn't even care about the emperor when he was alive, how could he say that he came out with great difficulty? Is there anyone who restricts his freedom?

Seeing the confusion on Chi Wan's face, the Nine Princes shook their heads with a smile, "Miss Chi, what kind of expression do you have, don't you believe my words?" ”

"No, I just...... It's just a little hard to figure it out. ”

"There's nothing I can't figure out, the royal brother is guarding against this king, afraid that I will secretly play ghosts to rescue the other brothers, I do have this meaning, but before I can think of a way, Chengguo has already launched a war. This war is very strange, and Chengguo seems to have been premeditated, so this king must find out. ”

Chi Wan suddenly realized, it turned out to be the case, she said, with the character of the ninth prince, how could she get involved with the emperor, it turned out to be just an expedient measure.

Coming out of the Nine Princes, instead of being relaxed, Chi Wan's heart became heavier.

She hated herself for being so indecisive, Xie Yutang could say such ruthless words, why couldn't she be more ruthless?

"Why didn't the imperial court let General Xie lead the troops, did he really care about us people?"

"That's right, why did the emperor lock up General Xie, the army of Chengguo has already entered."

Along the way, Chi Wan heard a lot of such words, and she had to sigh in her heart, Xie Yutang's status in the hearts of the people was really high.

And as the Nine Princes had more and more information, Chi Wan also found that she seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Chengguo has long been eyeing Dongxuan, and this war is not accidental, but inevitable." After pondering for a moment, the Nine Princes gave such an answer.

Since this is the case, it has nothing to do with Xie Yutang.

Moreover, they had already made shells three years ago, and they had been trying to find a country to test the waters, but they couldn't beat us before, but they always held a grudge in their hearts, so after this opportunity, they chose our country.

Chi Wan listened blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart.

It seems that she really misunderstood Xie Yutang. Even if Xie Yutang has any deal with Chengguo, it will definitely not be in three years.

The Ninth Prince continued to analyze the situation on the front line, because he sent people to pay close attention to the affairs on the front line, so he could know what was happening over there at the first time. As General Zuo retreated one after another, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"It is said that General Zuo sent people to attack Chengguo's artillery battalion, and Chengguo is currently urgently replenishing artillery shells, but for a moment and a half, it will definitely be too late, and General Zuo can use this time to launch an attack." The Nine Princes and his subordinates analyzed.

Chi Wan was listening from the side, and everyone saw her as a female streamer, and they didn't take her to heart, and only regarded her as a maid beside the Ninth Prince, but Chi Wan suddenly spoke, "Lord Wang, since Chengguo attacked us with cannonballs, then we can also attack them with rockets." ”

The so-called rocket is to tie sulfur and other things that are easy to catch fire to ordinary arrows, and then ignite and shoot to the opponent's camp, which is very lethal.

Nine Princes' eyes lit up, this is a good idea, they blow us up, we can also burn them.

"Yes, that's a good idea." The Nine Princes ordered someone to write it down quickly, and then sent someone to the front line as soon as possible.

The Nine Princes continued to pull Chi Wan to discuss the battle behind, Chi Wan is quite proficient in this aspect, and can actually understand the map, and the head of the analysis is the Tao, even where to set up ambushes, where to arrange manpower to respond are all said in an orderly manner, and everyone is not satisfied.

In private, several powerful subordinates around the Nine Princes got together to discuss.

"What kind of person is the prince saved, his brain is more effective than us, as if he has been on the battlefield, he will not dare to despise it at will in the future."

"Haha, you kid, you still dare to despise others, don't you see that the Nine Princes have such a good attitude towards people."

"But I'm curious, who is she?"

As he was talking, a light cough came from behind him, and several people turned around and saw the Nine Princes standing behind them, and they were all frightened. Hurriedly leaned over and confessed.

"Don't think of a way to deal with the enemy, but gossip here, I think you're all living too peacefully, right, if you do this, let me go down and brush the horses one by one!" The Nine Princes had a straight face and said in a deep voice.

Several people didn't dare to come out, and stood ashamed.

The Nine Princes didn't really want to punish them, they were afraid that they would talk about it here, so that Chi Wan would feel uncomfortable when she heard it, so he came forward to reprimand them.

"Let this king hear it again in the future, and never spare it, okay, go down, do what you should be busy with, don't pestle here." The Ninth Prince waved his hand impatiently. ，

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted and retired.

On the other hand, Chi Wan didn't know that she had gradually shown her edge, and more and more people admired her, so she only had one thought in her heart now, to quickly retreat Chengguo and help Xie Yutang protect the country.

Since she came out, she can't come out in vain.

The Nine Princes also like to discuss with her with the battle report, Chi Wan's tactics are very ingenious and very unexpected, the Nine Princes believe that Cheng Guo will definitely not be able to react, and after all, he will suffer a lot of damage at that time.

It would be nice if Chi Wan was a man, so that he could recommend people to the battlefield and let her lead the troops to kill the enemy, but unfortunately, she was a woman and a fugitive, so she couldn't show her face easily.

The Nine Princes shook their heads secretly, the emperor's vision is really too bad, what kind of characters are he locked up, and who are the people who stay, it can be said that he has the point where he is today, all of which are made by himself.

"Why does the prince keep looking at me?" Ji Wan asked tentatively.

The Ninth Prince had been looking at her for a while, and he had been frowning, or he just shook his head and sighed a few times, which made Chi Wan tremble, and he thought that he had committed something.

After the Ninth Prince came back to his senses, he smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want to ask your opinion on something, the army of Chengguo has now arrived at this place, and General Zuo is here......"

On the map, the fingers of the Nine Princes kept moving, Chi Wan looked at it seriously, and her brain was also running rapidly. In the end, without the need for the Nine Princes to ask, she already knew what he wanted to say.

The Nine Princes chatted with Chi Wan for one night, and at dawn, the Nine Princes ordered someone to send the Fire Paint Letter to the front line, which contained the plan he had discussed with Chi Wan.

At this time, General Zuo was checking the terrain in the barracks, when suddenly a sentry came in and presented a letter. When General Zuo saw the familiar look, he said happily, "It's another letter from the Nine Princes, open it and show it to me." ”

Originally, he was already desperate, who would have thought that the situation could gradually improve, at first it was Xie Yutang's remote command, which made the enemy slowly show his decline, and then ushered in the help of the Nine Princes, General Zuo felt that he would soon turn defeat into victory.

After seeing what was written inside, General Zuo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, as he expected, there was another strange trick over there, so that this war would not be as difficult as he imagined.

Xiao Bing only saw General Zuo, who was still frowning just now, stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "Gather all the deputy generals to come in, General Ben has something to say." ”

One by one, the orders were issued, and when the adjutant generals saw that there was hope, they were also in high spirits and listened very seriously.

Next, they fought a small victory, the only victory in a long time, and although there were not many kills, it was enough to boost the morale of the sluggish.

For a while, the morale soared, and General Zuo was not happy, and so were the soldiers.
