Chapter 401 Qin Tianming apologizes with a thorny stick on his back!
Looking at Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, they looked miserable and stifled.
Li Changsheng couldn't help laughing.
"Generals, please don't waste your energy. My Seven Days Soul-Severing Powder melts in your mouth. Even if you spit out the wine, it will be useless."
Upon hearing this, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were both heartbroken.
If they had known this, they would not have defected from the Tiandao League.
"Li Changsheng, you are such a vicious person. We have all surrendered to you, why did you still poison us two?"
Li Changsheng smiled coldly and said, "Haha, it would be easy for me to kill you. Just the two of you are not qualified for me to poison you!"
"Not only did you waste the poison, but you also ruined my fine wine!"
Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were stunned when they heard this. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that what Li Changsheng said made some sense.
"Commander Li, what are you doing..."
Li Changsheng said: "Do the work for me, and I will give you the antidote after the work is done!"
"Besides the antidote, these two boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry are all yours!"
Before Li Changsheng could finish his words, four personal soldiers came over carrying two treasure chests.
When the box was opened, it was filled with glittering gold and silver.
Fan Qiang and Zhang Da's eyes sparkled and their saliva couldn't help but flow down.
"Commander Li, whatever you want us to do, we will do it even if it means going through fire and water and sacrificing our lives!"
Li Changsheng said, "It's very simple. Take those 100 siege vehicles back to Qin Tianming and say you found them yourself!"
Fan Qiang and Zhang Da were both confused.
"Commander Li, we can't understand why you did this."
"As long as we have that siege vehicle, this Ancheng might..."
Having said this, he stopped talking.
However, the meaning he wanted to express was very clear.
Li Changsheng pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just do as I say!"
Fan Qiang and Zhang Da nodded in dismay, not daring to ask any further questions.
……
After sending Fan Qiang and Zhang Da away, Li Changsheng saw that Yu Rou and Du Dalong also seemed to want to say something but hesitated, so he asked with a smile.
"Do you also want to know why I gave one hundred siege vehicles to Qin Tianming?"
Du Dalong and Yu Rou both nodded seriously.
Li Changsheng deliberately kept them in suspense and did not directly tell them the reason.
Instead, he asked casually.
"Du Dalong, are all the gunpowder I asked you to prepare ready?"
Du Dalong nodded: "Well, I'm ready!"
Li Changsheng said: "Then immediately tell your brothers to hide all this gunpowder inside the siege vehicle!"
After hearing this, even the dull Du Dalong understood what Li Changsheng meant.
"Okay, I'll do it right now!"
……
After Fan Qiang and Zhang Da returned, they went to see Qin Tianming with a nervous mood.
"Holy Son, the one hundred siege vehicles you asked us to build have already been completed after working overnight!"
Qin Tianming was delighted when he heard this and said, "Okay, I'll give you two a credit!"
"Pass the order down, continue the siege tomorrow!"
Just then, a personal soldier came hurriedly to report.
"Holy Son, the Deputy Alliance Leader and his army have arrived thirty miles from here and will reach us before sunset!"
Qin Tianming was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Didn't they say they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow afternoon?"
The personal guard said cautiously, "I don't know. It's possible that the deputy leader and his men heard that the situation on our side was not favorable and were worried about something unexpected, so they sped up their horses..."
Before the personal soldier could finish his words, he suddenly felt Qin Tianming's cold and murderous look, and quickly swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.
Qin Tianming was extremely annoyed at this moment.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the siege vehicle now to capture Ancheng tomorrow to avenge his previous humiliation and clear his name in front of his father and the Saint.
But what I never expected was that they arrived a day early.
Just when he was feeling extremely annoyed, his confidant Fang Bulao took the initiative to give him advice.
"Holy Son, as long as you go to the Deputy Alliance Leader and apologize, and tomorrow you can take the lead in the attack, lead the troops, and capture Ancheng, you will surely avenge our previous humiliation!"
When Qin Tianming heard that he had to go and apologize, he felt that he could not bring himself to do so as he was always proud and arrogant.
But after thinking about it, I really can't think of any other solution that would satisfy both parties.
Fang Bolao saw Qin Tianming's concerns and tried to persuade him in a gentle and persuasive manner.
"Holy Son, as the saying goes, one must know shame before becoming brave. King Gou Jian of Yue was able to endure hardships and endure hardships, and was able to destroy the Kingdom of Wu and avenge the shame of his country's destruction..."
After listening to Fang Bolao's advice, Qin Tianming felt that what he said made sense, so he hardened his heart.
"Okay, now go get me a cane. I'm going to my father and apologize!"
……
Qin Wudi learned that his son had suffered a crushing defeat after a series of unsuccessful sieges and a night attack.
He was both angry and worried.
It was because he was concerned about his son's safety that he ordered the large army to march and arrive in Ancheng a day earlier.
Just when Qin Wudi summoned the great elder and other senior leaders to discuss how to take over Ancheng.
Suddenly, his personal soldiers came to report that the Holy Son Qin Tianming was outside the camp, carrying a thorny stick on his back to apologize!
Upon hearing the news, everyone present was very surprised.
Qin Wudi was surprised but also felt relieved.
He was originally worried that his arrogant son would never recover after suffering such a devastating defeat.
Now it seems that my worries were really unnecessary.
However, although I thought so in my heart.
He put on an air of selflessness and angrily said, "The first battle went badly, and the prestige of our Tiandao League has been tarnished. Let that bastard continue to kneel outside!"
The great elder Liu Changhong said, "Deputy Alliance Leader, this isn't right. After all, Tianming is the Holy Son of our Tiandao Alliance and shouldn't be insulted so easily!"
Qin Wudi originally just wanted to find a way out, but now that he saw the Great Elder was so understanding, he went down the stairs.
"Great Elder, since you're pleading for my son, I have to give you this face no matter what!"
After saying this, without waiting for Liu Changhong to respond, he quickly gave orders to his subordinates.
"Come here, Xuan Shengzi, come in!"
Soon, Qin Tianming walked in with his upper body naked and a rattan stick on his back.
"I fell for Li Changsheng's trick, which led to my first battle being unfavorable. This has tarnished the reputation of our Tiandao League. I beg for your punishment, father!"
Qin Wudi did not answer directly, but instead asked the people around him, "Everyone, according to your opinions, what should be done?"
Upon hearing this, all the elders, hall masters, and helmsmen looked at each other, and no one dared to express their opinions.
After all, Qin Tianming's identity is very transcendent.
Not only is he the Holy Son of their Tiandao League, but he is also Qin Wudi's disciple.
Even if they are to be punished, why should they have a say?
Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Wudi cleared his throat and said righteously, "Everyone, if he has anything to say, he can say it."
"Don't be hesitant just because Qin Tianming is my son, and the Holy Son of our Tiandao League!"
A hall master who had secretly defected to Qin Wudi a long time ago, seeing his chance to show off, spoke first.
"Deputy Alliance Leader, Qin Tianming is the Holy Son of our Tiandao Alliance, and his fate should be decided by the Alliance Leader."
"How about this? Let's just record it for now and let the Holy Son redeem himself by making meritorious contributions to avenge his previous shame!"
Qin Wudi still did not express his opinion, but glanced at everyone.
Finally, it fell on the shoulders of the great elder Liu Changhong.
"Great Elder, what do you think?"
Liu Changhong nodded slightly and said, "I think what Hall Master Zhou said makes sense. Let the Holy Son redeem himself with meritorious service!"
Qin Wudi was waiting for Liu Changhong to say this, and he made the decision immediately.
"Okay, let's do as the Great Elder says!"
"Qin Tianming, I'll give you 100,000 men and 10 days. Can you capture Ancheng and kill Li Changsheng?"
Qin Tianming immediately said confidently: "It doesn't take ten days, just give me five days and I can take Ancheng!"
Seeing that Qin Tianming was conceited again, Bian Yue couldn't help but mock him.
"Holy Son, Li Changsheng is a rare monster. I'm sure you've already experienced his methods. Even though Ancheng is currently defended by only a few thousand old, weak, and sick people, the city walls are high and thick. Taking it in just five days is no easy task!"
After hearing what Bian Yue said, Qin Tianming's self-esteem began to take over again.
He suddenly held up three fingers and said confidently, "Instead of five days, I only need three to take Ancheng!"
