After taking the antidote, Xiao Ming finally woke up on a dark, windy night.
However, what baffled him was that the large Military Camp was completely empty, not a single person in sight!
... Ridiculous.
Could it be that the Dongyi people had already taken the border pass? Had they killed all the soldiers in the General camp?
Surely the Military Officers couldn’t have all left the camp.
Such a precedent had never occurred throughout history.
Just as he was perplexed, a strong shadow swiftly slipped into his barracks, picked him up along with his bedding, and dashed out of the Military Camp with great speed, whooshing away!
It was Long Yi.
It was then they remembered they had left the poisoned Xiao Ming behind in the camp.
He came back to take Xiao Ming away.
Long Mengmeng wasn’t an eavesdropping, bad Dragon Shadow Guard; he had stuffed cotton in his ears!
...
The soldiers in the Military Camp wandered outside for three whole days before they were allowed back in. During those three days, unable to return and not willing to roam aimlessly outside, they went to raid Dongyi.
Chang Jing was fiercely battling the forces of the Dongyi crown prince when a formidable flood of Armor surged forth irresistibly.
Just as Chang Jing raised his sword to stab the second prince of Dongyi, someone knocked away his weapon.
He turned and saw it was one of his own men.
He couldn’t erupt in anger.
Chang Jing’s face turned dark.
Xiao Ming’s poison was removed, Xiao En and Xiao Ze also succeeded in escaping, leaving Dongyi without any means to restrain Zhan Country. The officers, holding in their frustration over several days and being woken up at midnight and chased out of the camp, unleashed it all on Dongyi.
Dongyi was defeated soundly and soon surrendered.
The Dongyi people watched the Zhan Country army, which was clearly ready to return triumphantly, thinking: we’ve already surrendered, signed the oppressive treaties, so why aren’t you leaving?
The officers were suffering silently.
...
Xiao Ji was injured; although he took medicine from the Saintess Hall and recovered quite well, there were still some effects from overexerting himself.
The wound was badly torn, not to mention it got infected with a cold.
Princess Xinyang wasn’t much better off; she was the one who passed the cold to Xiao Ji.
