The advisor couldn’t understand. It was difficult for others not to notice the two black circles under his eyes because he couldn’t sleep. Seeing that he was still stuck in a dead end, the colleagues who had a good relationship with him couldn’t help but come over and counsel him. “As advisors, you and I just have to follow our Master’s wishes. It’s not something you should worry about. Don’t worry blindly.”

The advisor frowned. “But what if the pass fell…”

His colleague sighed and pulled him aside. “If you can think of something, how can His Highness not think of it?”

The advisor’s eyes widened, as if he could not believe what he had heard. His colleague and friend patted his shoulder. “You’re just too straightforward. Otherwise, why would you always be overtaken by those who are not as knowledgeable as you?”

The aide was stunned on the spot and could not come back to his senses for a long time. He naturally did not know that in order to avoid the scorching sun, the Crown Prince, who was sitting in the carriage, was actually having a headache over something similar. However, his anxiety was in the opposite direction of the aide.

“Then why hasn’t Chernan sent the news over yet?” They had agreed to hand the border to him and help him ascend to the throne in the future. Moreover, the Xiongnu would not fight in the next 10 years and would not interfere with Great Xia. Why was there no more news?

His confidant shook his head and lifted the curtain to estimate the distance. He reminded him, “Your Highness, we’re almost there.”

The Crown Prince also stuck his head out to take a look. He frowned fiercely and gritted his teeth as he came out of the carriage. “Increase the speed of the march!”

That was why Xiaoxiao saw the thick dust cloud.

When the army approached, everyone was drenched in sweat and dark and tired, especially the crown prince, who was in the lead. He looked like he had been fished out of water. The moment he got off the horse, he even swayed. “Quick, call your Third Prince over. This is the food sent by the Imperial Court…” After saying that, he coughed a few more times. His voice was quite dry and hoarse. Those who didn’t know better would think that they had come day and night without sleep.

Xiaoxiao stood at the back of the crowd in a low profile manner and watched this scene coldly. From the beginning to the end, her expression did not even change. Yun San was quite puzzled. “Miss doesn’t seem to welcome them much?”

Xiaoxiao glanced at him. They were on the same side, so there was no need to be hypocritical and polite. “He schemed too much and made people hate him.

In her dream, she also saw the Crown Prince, who had come to deliver food. However, at that time, he pushed all the responsibility of the city’s destruction to the general guarding the city. He did not mention anything about his delay. He even suggested in the court that they should not guard these barren lands at the border…

You don’t want it just because you say so?

What was the protection of the soldiers at the border all these years? What were the heroes who sacrificed themselves to protect their territory? What should the innocent citizens who have lost the protection of their country do? Their country had not fallen, but they were going to become slaves of other countries?

How could such a person be the Crown Prince? Ha Pf ft!

The Crown Prince saw Xiaoxiao’s back in the crowd at a glance. It couldn’t be helped. It was difficult not to see a woman’s figure suddenly appear among a group of men.

Who was that? Why was there a woman in the army?

The high and mighty Crown Prince was only curious for a moment. When he saw Rong Yan coming to “welcome” him, he put down his curiosity and prepared to receive a warm welcome from the army.

However, Rong Yan strode over and bowed slightly to him. Then, Rong Yan pushed the person in charge of money, food, and logistics out. “Just hand over the rations to Yu He.”

Then, he instructed his subordinates, “Your Highness, it’s been hard on you along the way. Men, quickly bring His Highness to wash up and rest. Prepare

some food.”

The entire process of arranging and exchanging pleasantries took less than 10 minutes. The Crown Prince was still in a daze when he was brought to a place to rest. That was it? That was it? Shouldn’t he cry and complain to him about the hard work of the past few days before thanking him for sending food?

The Crown Prince, who could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, was really too puzzled. After resting for a while, the advisors he sent out had already inquired about everything that had happened over the past few days. The Crown Prince felt very upset when he found out that not only did his third brother, who did not show off, did not cause any trouble during his first expedition, but he even won a battle.

“How’s Third Brother’s prestige in the army now?”

The advisor looked at his expression and mustered his courage. “The deputy generals follow the Third Prince’s lead.”

“Now, everyone in the army says that the Third Prince is General Xiao’s disciple. Yes, he’s the next victorious general…”

The Crown Prince’s expression was distorted as he kicked over the table with the food.

So, the soldiers were all stupid. They were easily won over after fighting with them a few times as if they were playing house?

After venting his anger, the Crown Prince looked at the food on the ground and felt hungry. He waved his hand. “Go and get that food again.” Unexpectedly, such a small matter in his opinion would actually be rejected. The servant who went to do something only returned with a frown after a long time. “Your Highness, the kitchen said that everyone can only eat a fixed amount of food for every meal during a special period. Your portion… has just been sent over.” The Crown Prince didn’t sleep well the entire night. He kept feeling that his good brother did it on purpose. Could it be that he was angry that he was delayed on the way? Hey, wait a minute. He was already five days late on purpose. Why did this 100,000-strong army still have food?

He found out after sending someone to ask, “Some kind-hearted people who don’t want to reveal their names voluntarily sent them over. It just so happened to resolve the urgent matter.”

The Crown Prince’s expression darkened. “Find out who it is.” He wanted to see who was meddling in his business.

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled again. The Crown Prince glared at his subordinates. Seeing that they were all deaf and mute, he turned to look at the door in satisfaction. It was probably time to deliver food, right?

Breakfast was steamed buns and porridge. The soldiers ate until they were full and comfortable. Especially after knowing that new food had been delivered, they were not worried about not eating the next meal when they saw the more viscous porridge.

Rong Yan had not eaten breakfast because of Xiaoxiao’s request and was drinking tea and chewing on her new test work.

Xiaoxiao asked expectantly, “How is it?”

This was the first time Rong Yan encountered difficulties in evaluating Xiaoxiao’s food. How should he put it? It was a biscuit, but it was too dry, too hard, and too firm. Although it tasted good, it was really far from Xiaoxiao’s previous works.

Seeing that he was frowning, Xiaoxiao stopped teasing him. “You just ate half a piece. Do you think you can still eat it now?”

How could he not eat it? Even if Xiaoxiao’s food tasted strange and difficult to swallow, he had to… Eh? Rong Yan, who just blurted out that he could eat it, touched his stomach strangely.

He had to admit that he had a picky mouth. He didn’t eat anything that didn t taste good. He didn’t eat anything that was too salty, too light, or too sweet. He didn’t like to eat when the weather was hot and he probably couldn’t be bothered to eat when it was cold. However, he had the best appetite in the morning. He had clearly only eaten a small piece of biscuit just now. Why did he feel full now?

Yun Er found it strange and tried it herself. “Eh? Why am I not hungry anymore?”

Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hands and swayed her two slender legs. “This is called compressed biscuits. Its disadvantage is that it’s dry and hard. Its advantage is that it’s convenient to eat and it can last..”
