In recent years, Emperor Yong'an has also been on guard against the Jin and Liao kingdoms. The total military strength in the country is 600,000, of which 250,000 are stationed in the imperial city and 150,000 are used to set up checkpoints in other cities.

Another 200,000 troops are stationed at the border, and the army includes infantry, archers, musketeers, and concealed weapon units. They never slacken in their training, and the army's combat effectiveness is very strong.

In the first year after Liu Siping and Liu Si'an moved to the capital, Emperor Yong'an had many more secret guards protecting him.

Since they no longer needed the two of them to protect them closely, they went back to the border to join the army.

They didn't use Liu Sisi's identity to ask for any official positions. Instead, they started as soldiers and rose step by step to their current positions as vanguard generals.

In the past few days, the Tianlong Kingdom and the Jin-Liao Kingdom have already fought several rounds.

The Jin-Liao Kingdom had a large population, and its people were physically imposing and extremely powerful in battle.

Although the Tianlong Kingdom had fewer troops than the Jin and Liao Kingdoms, it had the advantage of advanced and superior weaponry, and after several rounds, it did not lose.

At this time, two of the vanguard generals of the Jin-Liao Kingdom had already been killed by the Liu brothers.

Seeing how brave his vanguard general was, Zhou Qing, the great general of the Tianlong Kingdom, immediately shouted loudly.

"Soldiers of the Tianlong Kingdom, the enemy's vanguard general is no match for our general. Kill them! Defeat the barbarians of the Jin Liao Kingdom and restore peace to our land."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers' morale soared, and in an instant, the two sides clashed in a chaotic battle.

The scouts at the border had been sending reports of the battle to the capital as early as the first chaotic battle between the armies.

The first scout has arrived today; Emperor Yong'an and Gu Lingchen have received news that the Jin-Liao Kingdom has launched a war.

Gu Lingchen knew that Liu Sisi had been worried about the war, so he went to see her immediately after court.

Liu Sisi was playing a game with her little nephew at the time! When she saw Gu Lingchen coming over with a not-so-good expression, she asked the Wang sisters to take Liu Mingzhe away.

Then he stood up, looked at Gu Lingchen, and asked...

"What's wrong?"

"The scouts report that the Jin-Liao Kingdom has 300,000 troops pressing on our border and is now engaged in battle with our army."

"We'll have to wait for the scouts to report the specifics," Gu Lingchen replied.

Liu Sisi clenched her fists. "It's finally here."

"I'm worried about my third and fourth brothers. Can I ask to go to the battlefield?"

"Sisi, the battlefield is not like a one-on-one fight; it's very dangerous. I'm afraid you'll get hurt if you go," Gu Lingchen replied urgently.

He just wanted to tell Liu Sisi about the situation, but he didn't expect her to want to go to the battlefield herself.

"The enemy's army now outnumbers ours by a full 100,000. His Majesty will definitely send troops to support us. Wherever the army is nearby, I will go with them."

After Liu Sisi finished speaking, she went straight to the palace to request an audience with Emperor Yong'an.

Gu Lingchen shook his head and followed, knowing he couldn't stop him either.

Inside the main hall, Liu Sisi bowed and addressed Emperor Yong'an.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Jin and Liao armies are pressing on our borders. If Your Majesty sends reinforcements, may I accompany the army on the expedition?"

“Anning, you actually want to go to the battlefield? Do you know that swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield? You could lose your life in an instant. Although you are highly skilled in martial arts, I am still afraid that you will lose your life due to a moment of carelessness.”

"This time, I will not allow it."

"Your Majesty, I possess great martial arts skills, but now that the country is in peril, I am willing to charge into battle alongside the soldiers. If I were to die for the country, it would be a worthy death."

"However, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you. I will certainly help the army drive out the Jin and Liao kingdoms. I beg Your Majesty to grant my request."

Liu Sisi's firm voice echoed in the hall, making Emperor Yong'an's blood boil.

She looked at Liu Sisi with eyes full of admiration.

"No woman has ever been on the battlefield in the Tianlong Kingdom before. You are the first to volunteer. If you go and achieve great merit, you will be the first person in the history of the Tianlong Kingdom to do so."

"Very well, then I grant your request. You may take my imperial decree and go to Xichuan City, the closest city to Mengcheng, to mobilize troops to reinforce the border."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness."

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Emperor Yong'an drafted an imperial edict, which Eunuch Luo then handed to her, and she withdrew.

When Gu Lingchen saw Liu Sisi come out with the imperial edict in her hand, he knew that his father had agreed.

"Sisi, I know I can't persuade you, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Sisi interrupted him.

"Shh, you are the Crown Prince. You can't get hurt. If something happens to you on the battlefield with me, even if I escape unscathed, His Majesty will take my head when I return, and the ministers will say I'm a femme fatale."

"I don't want to end up like that."

"Wait for me to come back. I will make Tianlong Kingdom the most peaceful country on this continent."

Liu Sisi returned to the princess's mansion and told her family about her upcoming mission to the battlefield.

She originally wanted to keep it a secret from her family, but the battlefield is truly ruthless, and she was actually a little worried that she might not come back. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to tell them.

Of course, Mrs. Wu was reluctant to part with it, but she also knew she couldn't stop it.

"Sisi, I know you are a child with your own opinions and plans. I will not stop you. I just hope that you will take good care of yourself and come back safely. When you see your third and fourth brothers, tell them to take care of themselves too."

Liu Dashi looked at his daughter and only said, "Dad will wait for you to come back."

Luo Bin filled Liu Sisi's room with all sorts of poisonous insects and poisons so she could carry them for self-defense.

"My dear disciple, your master is waiting for you to take care of him in his old age! You can't abandon your master."

"Yes, Father, Mother, and Master, don't worry, I will definitely come back." Liu Sisi reassured her family.

Liu Mingzhe grabbed Liu Sisi's clothes and said in his sweet, childish voice, "Auntie, where are you going? Can you come back quickly? I want Auntie to play games with me!"

Liu Sifu and his wife often have to go out to inspect the store, so they are often not at home. Xiao Mingzhe spends most of his time with his aunt and grandparents, so he is very dependent on Liu Sisi.

"Okay, Auntie promises you, I'll bring you some delicious sugar figurines when I come back, okay?" Liu Sisi replied, patting Liu Mingzhe's head.

Only Luo Ling'er from the Luo family objected, because she was worried that her younger sister would be in danger on the battlefield.

Luo Kuanlong, however, was very supportive, saying, "As expected of my daughter, I support you, but you should still be careful."

Xia Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears, but she didn't say anything to object. Instead, she took out the amulet she was carrying and gave it to Liu Sisi.

"Mother believes you will definitely not want to leave."

"Yes, I will."

After bidding farewell to her family, Liu Sisi took the imperial edict and rode out of the imperial city.

She has already mastered the second level of the Heavenly Sword technique, and the system has given her the ability to do anything with her consciousness in the space.

In other words, she can now use her consciousness to farm, harvest, and retrieve items remotely; her space has already stored tens of millions of kilograms of grain.

Fortunately, nothing inside the space spoiled, and the rice remained as it was when it was harvested.

She has used up quite a bit of the vast territory, spanning 108,000 li.

Even if the whole country is in drought, her food supply can save most of the people.
