CHAPTER 726: CHAPTER 312: SUDDEN "HEART DISEASE" (SECOND UPDATE)

"Awake?" Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi, his gaze very indifferent.

Xiao Wu simply did not understand.

Every time the Princess was asleep and could not see, his eyes clearly held affection.

Alright, it was desire.

But at least there was emotion there.

Yet, every time he was truly in front of the Princess, what he displayed was that indifference, wholly indifferent to the Princess.

"If I say I’m not awake, would you let me continue sleeping? Can you not make me follow you to a certain death?" Ye Qichi was irate.

She also had her moments of morning grumpiness.

Barely awake and thinking about risking her life with this damned Prince...

Forget it.

The plot was reaching its critical juncture; she endured it.

Once the plot was over, she could withdraw with honors anyway.

"When do we set out?" Ye Qichi calmed down.

"The entire army is ready. In the time it takes an incense to burn, we will depart!" Xiao Jinxing said coldly.

"This." Ye Qichi handed a small bottle of medicine to Xiao Jinxing, "The medicine you asked for yesterday."

Xiao Jinxing took it.

Ye Qichi said, "Last night, we tested it on the parrot you wanted to nurture."

Xiao Jinxing turned his gaze to the parrot inside the tent, noting its vibrant energy at the moment.

"Hmm." Xiao Jinxing showed no doubt as he placed the bottle of medicine inside his armor, saying, "You should leave with the logistic troops. Later, someone will notify you to return with me."

"Alright." Ye Qichi nodded.

Xiao Jinxing then said no more and left.

Ye Qichi didn’t delay either and also left.

An army of eight hundred thousand, fully armed and ready, set out!

...

Muge City.

The spy returned to report, "Reporting to the Prince, Great General, the Daxuan Army, the entire army is advancing towards us."

"Good!" Mu Junze was in high spirits, "Prince Chu is indeed as perceptive as a deity; Xiao Jinxing has actually come himself to attack!"

Xiao Jinsen was naturally in a good mood as well.

He had anticipated two military strategies.

One was that Xiao Jinxing would stay put, and then his infiltrators would continue to create chaos in the camp, leading to widespread panic, thus dispersing the soldiers’ morale; he would then let the Beimu Army strike directly, catching Xiao Jinxing off guard. Of course, the likelihood of this was small; with Xiao Jinxing’s cunning and strategy, he would not let the situation deteriorate so much.

Therefore, there was the second strategy: Xiao Jinxing, to save the army’s strength to the greatest extent, would choose to lead his troops out directly and fight a decisive battle against Beimu Country!

As expected.

They have set out.

Xiao Jinxing is no more than this, after all.

Xiao Jinsen, of course, was not overly proud; as he had not yet defeated Xiao Jinxing, there was no reason to be joyful.

He quickly said, "I ask the Prince to immediately issue an order, to prepare for battle according to our previously established plan!"

"As long as Xiao Jinxing leads his troops to attack the city, his defeat is certain!" Mu Junze smirked in satisfaction.

Full of confidence!

...

The army of eight hundred thousand advanced towards Muge City.

There was no opposition from any army ahead; it seemed they were waiting for them to attack the city directly.

Xiao Jinxing was also considering what kind of trap Xiao Jinsen had set, to be so confident in defeating his army of eight hundred thousand.

Halfway through the journey.

The whole army took a brief rest.

Xiao Jinxing had all the generals gather at a temporary meeting point to redeploy the march and arrange the battle formations.

All the generals listened to Xiao Jinxing’s arrangements.

Until.

Xiao Jinxing’s face suddenly turned pale.

He suddenly clutched his chest.

Bai Mowan was right beside Xiao Jinxing and immediately noticed his expression, "Prince, what’s wrong with you?"

Xiao Jinxing could barely keep himself standing by leaning on the chair at first.

At this moment, Bai Mowan stepped forward to support him, and his body collapsed.

"Prince." Bai Mowan was frightened.

The others were also terrified.

Why would the Prince suddenly... be like this!

Xiao Jinxing’s face turned utterly pale in an instant, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his body shook involuntarily.

"Call Ye Qichi, get Ye Qichi over here!" Bai Mowan quickly ordered.

Unable to accept that Xiao Jinxing suddenly became... like this.

What if something...

No.

Xiao Jinxing cannot die.

Having lived again, she could not let Xiao Jinxing die just like that.

She must not.

Upon receiving the message, Ye Qichi rushed over at top speed.

The moment she arrived, she hurriedly took Xiao Jinxing’s pulse.

She too appeared extremely anxious.

She was silent for a while.

Everyone was looking at her.

Ye Qichi said, "The Prince has suffered an acute heart disease, with an unusually rapid heartbeat and arrhythmia, caused by overexertion leading to myocarditis."

"Can he be treated immediately? Can he be cured?" Bai Mowan asked anxiously.

"Heart diseases are different from other illnesses. Moreover, because this was caused by Xiao Jinxing’s overexertion, even with immediate medication, it’s difficult to say whether he can be cured right away! And if he continues to overexert himself, he could suddenly die!" Ye Qichi explained rapidly and urgently.

Bai Mowan turned deathly pale out of fear.

Ye Qichi also immediately administered some medicine to Xiao Jinxing, seemingly to alleviate his suffering.

However, after the medication, Xiao Jinxing was still pale and breathing rapidly.

His body hardly recovered.

"Can the Prince still lead troops in battle?" Bai Mowan asked Ye Qichi.

"He cannot." Ye Qichi gave a definite answer, "As I just mentioned, heart disease requires rest. If he overexerts himself again, the consequences are unthinkable."

Bai Mowan didn’t hesitate at all.

She spoke with firm resolve to Xiao Jinxing, "You go back, stop following the army!"

"Without me, I worry..." Xiao Jinxing struggled to speak.

After just one sentence, he began to gasp for air again.

"Prince, your health is important. If something happens to you on the battlefield, it will still affect our soldiers. Right now, few are aware of your sudden heart disease; we can keep it from the soldiers to avoid impacting their morale." Bai Mowan argued passionately, her eyes welling with tears.

Ye Qichi glanced at Bai Mowan.

She hadn’t been told in advance, yet Bai Mowan didn’t miss a beat.

What if she knew that all of Xiao Jinxing’s actions were just an act and that he had kept it from her?

How would Bai Mowan react?!

Anyway, Xiao Jinxing could also appease Bai Mowan well enough.

Xiao Jinxing breathed rapidly, showing hesitation.

"Big Brother Xiao, rest assured, I will lead the troops and take Muge City, you can be at ease!" Bai Mowan’s tears flowed out.

She was also declaring her determination.

At this moment, she called him by their intimate nickname gently.

It seemed she was trying to prevent Xiao Jinxing from refusing in this manner.

Xiao Jinxing saw Bai Mowan crying so distressfully.

There was also a look of heartache on his face.

Ye Qichi pondered, with such acting skills, he’s at an award-winning level.

But it wasn’t entirely an act.

Xiao Jinxing truly couldn’t bear to see Bai Mowan in distress.

He said, "Okay, I will return to the camp."

Bai Mowan, hearing Xiao Jinxing agree, let out a huge sigh of relief, "I will arrange for someone to send you back immediately."

"Not too many people should go, as that can easily draw attention, not only affecting the morale of our troops but also emboldening the enemy... cough cough..." Xiao Jinxing said with difficulty, coughing twice.
