Nangong Yi has won the battle!
This news instantly filled Cai Wei’s heart with blossoms. Although everything was as she had expected, she still felt an unstoppable joy.
"Go, bring the courier who delivered the message to me."
The guard went out with a joyful expression and soon returned with an equally elated courier. As soon as he saw Cai Wei, the man knelt down respectfully.
"I greet the Royal Consort, His Highness King Qin has scored a major victory in Qinlun and captured Qinlun City. He ordered me to bring you this good news!"
"Is The King Qin okay? How many casualties were there in this battle?"
"Answering to the Royal Consort, His Highness King Qin is safe. Our Great Jin Dynasty only lost dozens of soldiers, while the people of the Meng Slaves who stubbornly resisted were ordered to be killed by King Qin, and those who surrendered were all pardoned!"
While it is inevitable to have casualties in capturing a city, it is clear that Nangong Yi is trying to reduce the death toll on both sides. Activism has never been his habit, he must be doing this to assure her.
Realizing he valued her thoughts made Cai Wei very comforted. She was aware that violent slaughtering violated the natural order. Since she arrived here, many of her previous life’s ingrained thinking patterns have been overturned. She no longer was an atheist, she had begun to believe in reincarnation, karma, and retribution. Therefore, she did not want him to incur too many bad karma and thus invite retribution. However, even if he was retributed, it would not matter, she was willing to bear it and share it with him!
The courier spoke again, "King Qin said that three days after the army rests, he would attack Kash, which is next to Qinlun. He asked the Royal Consort to wait patiently for him here, at most one month, or at least twenty days, he promised he would take back Lingbei!"
Cai Wei smiled brightly. It does not require a month or twenty days to conquer the Meng Slaves, she already had a plan to make Tuoba Kui surrender in eight more days!
After receiving a reward of ten taels of silver, the courier left happily.
Cai Wei’s mood improved greatly after receiving news about her man’s victorious battle. After breakfast, she emerged from the camp, asked Chai Feng for a steed, and rode out to the grasslands outside the camp.
The boundless grassland was covered in verdant green. The morning sunlight drenched the fields in what looked like golden dust and with the blowing breeze, it looked like turquoise waves with golden sprays. Various wild flowers bloomed here and there, bathing in the sunlight, competing for beauty in the vast grassland and emitting a strong fragrance. Looking out, the wildflowers seemed like colorful clouds, floating over the green grassland.
Not knowing how far she rode, she stopped, attracted by a shiny crystal amidst the green carpet. What was it?
Cai Wei dismounted and walked over, surprisingly finding a piece of "natural soda" crystal midst the turquoise waves.
Natural soda is found here!\n
Moving up to her feet, overlooking the infinite prairie, Cai Wei showed a look of utter astonishment!
She remembered that back in the camp, she had seen quartz minerals under the wooden stakes of the tent. At that time, she thought this must have been a volcano tens of thousands of years ago. Now seeing the natural soda, Cai Wei suddenly realized that hundreds of thousands of years ago, this must have been a vast sea, with volcanic eruptions in the sea...Over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, after earth crust changes, the sea turned into fields, forming this vast grassland!
Cai Wei paid her respects to nature for several minutes in awe, her heart pounding as she picked up the piece of natural soda and returned to the main camp.
As soon as she returned to the camp, she immediately ordered Chai Feng to find more natural soda and quartz for her. Chai Feng wondered why this woman wanted these broken stones, but seeing her uncontrollable excitement, he obediently went off to find them.
