The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 24

Realizing that his army had not returned, Wu Zhantian slightly furrowed his brows. The soldier standing quietly beside him raised his voice. "Why haven't they come back yet? Were they attacked by the southern forces?"

"Cannot be. Their strength is weakening." The Wu Zhantian.

The one sending people to make the Northern army was indeed himself.he planned to attack their headquarters when additional troops came. He also told the soldiers to attack the opposing medical party so that no one would cure them.

They waited a long time, but the troops ordered to check never returned. Wu Zhantian's face slightly changed, worried that this was a trap.

At this moment, someone came. The man in blue clothes, with chest protection and a typical warrior hat approached Wu Zhantian's tent. His face was slightly black and a few strands of his hair were sticking out. The Northern General knew him as one of the soldiers sent to inspect earlier. "What's going on? Where are the others?" Wu Zhantian asked upon seeing that only the soldier had returned.

The soldier explained directly. "General, those fireworks turned out to be a signal to call for help from the Southern troops."

General Wu's eyes widened. "Then?"

The soldier said. "But it turned out to be their last attempt, because when we got there, some of the remaining southern troops attacked us. Everyone's dead, unless I sneak away."

Wu Zhantian held his chin while thinking. "The signal has been activated, it means we have to attack them as soon as possible before help comes. Prepare yourself, we'll attack their base before sunrise."

No one realized that the eyes of the soldier carrying the message had blank stares.

A moment ago.

"Do we want to live?" Xie Hongyi crouched down while asking one of the Northern warriors who was still conscious after being electrocuted.

The soldier groaned low. He never knew that the southern army had such a powerful weapon! Although it did not make lives lost, it was enough to weaken the strength of the soldiers. He was eager to report this to his General, but after being trapped by the trap, he could not move a single limb. "I would rather die than betray the North." Finally after expending all the remaining power, the soldier spoke.

Xie Hongyi clucked. He then took out a black and red pill, then drank it to the Northern warriors. "Ck, you're very loyal, but it looks like you have no choice but to obey me."

A black pill can heal a person whose body is electrocuted. Quickly the pill will repair damaged body parts and make the body recover quickly. As for the other pill, it was a compliance pill. Everyone who drank it, he would obey the orders of the person who gave the pill to him.

As soon as the two pills entered the body, the soldier's eyes turned into blank stares. "Tell your general that these fireworks are a signal of help from the southern forces as a last resort." Xie Hongyi said to him.

With that, the soldier returned to his base and reported what Xie Hongyi had ordered.

When dawn came, the Northern army came to attack. They brought about a thousand soldiers who directly attacked the southern army headquarters. But when they almost arrived, suddenly a rain of arrows fell, and hit some soldiers. Due to that surprise attack, Wu Zhantian lost a quarter of his army.

Wu Zhantian frowned. Didn't the southern troops all die? Then who launched this arrow? Wu Zhantian had an uneasy feeling. Sure enough, by the time the rain of arrows stopped, hundreds of people attacked them and eventually both sides fought.

When he finished piercing the enemy's throat, a soldier shouted. "General! Our base has been attacked!"

How come? He then turned his head towards where his base was. The sun was about to rise, and it was clear from the east that there was a huge mass of smoke rising high. Wu Zhantian had no time to think further and then he more ferociously attacked his enemy.

When the sun was as high as bamboo, the war finally began to show signs of stopping. The Northern Army was all killed, leaving only General Wu and 3 soldiers. Meanwhile, the South's forces won the victory with twenty survivors.

Wu Zhantian and the rest of the soldiers were surrounded like spliced chickens. They had clearly lost, but still did not want to give up. "As a general, I don't think you're wise to make a decision." Wu Zhantian's ears heard a woman's voice.

Xie Hongyi came out with lazy steps. His clothes fluttered in the wind. He had a face with an unpredictable expression. Beside Xie Hongyi, there was Huang Long walking with him. When Wu Zhantian saw his figure, he bit his teeth. "Who are you?"

Xie Hongyi replied with a relaxed tone. "Do you believe I'm your father?

Seeing Wu Zhantian's angry face, Xie Hongyi giggled. "Are you kidding me?" Wu Zhantian asked furiously.

"Of course."

General Wu almost spewed blood. At this moment, Wu Zhantian did not notice that there was a sword on his neck. "You lost." Said the man holding the sword, General Jiang.

Wu Zhantian's eyes rolled, he found three of his troops also had a sword around their neck. Di knew that when he really lost and there was no point if he fought again. Then he dropped his sword. Now he could only wait for these people to execute him.

The strategy Xie Hongyi planned was successful. After sending the Northern warrior away, Xie Hongyi gave the Southern army a body-boosting pill. The pill could provide twice the strength after people drank it. So it was no wonder why the Southern army could win, as their bodies and abilities had been enhanced. Xie Hongyi was also the one who planned the attack on the North's headquarters in the desert. The raid of the headquarters was carried out by General Mo, the, by ordering the soldiers who had been given medicine by Xie Hongyi showed the way to enter the headquarters with a road that did not have quicksand so that their journey was smoother. The troops guarding the sand base were few, so General Mo quickly took care of it.

Now, the desert region that had the precious stone belonged to the southern kingdom. Knowing this fact, Huang Long's eyes brightened slightly. Seeing Huang Long's radiant face, Xie Hongyi said a few words. "Your Majesty seems to have a good mood."

"of course. The desert region has been contested for several years. So when the region finally fell to the Southern kingdom, His Majesty must have been very happy." The newly arrived General Mo chimed in on Xie Hongyi's sentence.

Xie Hongyi then said again. "Because the strategy I propose is successful, Your Majesty must reward me."

Huang Long's mouth twitched slightly. She thought this woman was helping with a sincere heart, but it turned out that she was doing this in order to be rewarded.

General Jiang's face also changed slightly. "I didn't know that Consort Xie was a calculating person."

After Xie Hongyi heard General Jiang's remark, he immediately denied it. "General, I'm not a calculating man, but a profiteer that's all."

Isn't that the same thing? The people who were there thought so. Meanwhile, General Wu who was an inch to death, had been forgotten.
