Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Going Back (2)_1

However, in Chu Suifeng’s army, the soldiers hadn’t faced any problems because they drank water from the wells near their camps.

Upon hearing this, Bayal was secretly enraged, guessing that the issues with the water sources within Border City, must have been hidden by Billy. The pain from the arrow wound in his arm made his temper even more irritable.

"Issue the order, the army stands its ground and fortifies the defenses at night." After a deep thought, Bayal finally issued an order.

As a general who had been defending the border for many years, Bayal knew exactly what kind of person Chu Suifeng was.

Chu Suifeng seemed to be of a good nature, but deep down, he was a man who would take revenge for every slight and would not suffer any loss. If the armies were to determine victory by strength, Chu Suifeng would definitely not make secret retaliations. But if he was wronged secretly, that man would come up with millions of ways to retaliate.

Billy’s poison was definitely not a fair trick. When Bayal knew the truth, he first thought of the revenge Chu Suifeng would likely take on them.

Even without leaving his tent, Bayal knew that the morale among the soldiers had dropped greatly. If anything else happened at this point, it would be adding insult to injury for him.

The insult came too quickly, astonishing Bayal and making him anxious with thoughts of retreating. By evening, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. At first, the snowflakes were not big, yet by nightfall, the snow had become much heavier.

The first snowfall came later than usual this year but was heavier.

"Heaven helps us." Situ Gong said in the hall, his face filled with a cheerful smile.

"Prince, without us lifting a finger, Bayal’s army will surely suffer," Luo Heng said laughingly, his mood apparently delightful.

Billy dared to poison the water," Chu Suifeng said lazily. His enchanting features under the candlelight appeared incredibly soft.

Lin Ziyin looked at his face from the corner of her eyes, relaxing herself. Billy was cunning enough to poison the civilians. Luckily, Master Hui Zhen and the others were prompt enough to find a solution. Now, the health conditions of the civilians were under control. The consequences were simply unimaginable otherwise.

Xiao Yang and Master Hui Zhen boiled medicine daily at the entrances to South City, East City, and West City, distributing it for free to the civilians.

All the citizens were sincerely grateful for the kindness and generosity of the Prince. Praises were heard everywhere for Chu Suifeng and the medicinal monks of Ding’an Temple.

"Prince, are you planning to give them another big gift?" Situ Gong asked with a smile.

"Not for now." Chu Suifeng replied with a cold laugh, "The ice is not solid enough yet."

"I have issued the order for stronger defense on the city wall," Luo Heng said.

"Prince, Miss." Qiaoqiao came in to report, "The meal is ready."

"Alright." Chu Suifeng waved his hand, and Qiaoqiao retreated to Lin Ziyin’s side.

"This year the grain supply is sufficient, so our soldiers no longer fear of going hungry," Luo Heng sighed, gazing at Lin Ziyin with profound gratitude.

"I have prepared hot pot for everyone tonight. It should warm them up a bit," Lin Ziyin said.

All the men present were accustomed to army life, so they had experienced all sorts of hardships. Even Chu Suifeng had eaten wild grass and vegetables when times were tough. But none of them would turn down a delicious meal.

Because of the malaria issue, they hadn’t had decent meals for several days. The delicious hot pot soon had them singing praises.

"Hmph." Entering the door, Master Hui Zhen saw the jubilant scene of dining. He was instantly unbalanced, "While I was laboring outside, you all had a feast. You didn’t even bother waiting for me."
