Zhu Lin whistled, summoning the giant eagle that had just been released back. The giant eagle resignedly carried the boy and rushed towards the people of the Great Silver Kingdom outside the city wall. Along the way, it also grabbed and killed several soldiers of the Great Silver Kingdom, venting its dissatisfaction with the boy on them.

"Ah!" Screams and cries of alarm mingled together, and the once orderly line was instantly thrown into disarray.

The white-clad youth stood on the eagle's back. As the giant eagle swept past Wanyan Xiong's side, he swiftly swung his sword and beheaded the man, then lifted him up with the sword.

Wanyan Muku simply turned around, and when he looked back, their sweaty body was a headless corpse, blood flowing all over the ground. The stench of blood was extremely stimulating to the nerves. Wanyan Muku came to his senses and let out a shrill roar.

He picked up the giant bow beside him, intending to shoot the giant eagle and the boy on its back, but before he could draw the bow, the giant eagle suddenly swooped down from the sky again. The soldiers of the Great Silver Kingdom only felt a blotting out of the sky when the giant eagle approached, and when the giant eagle flapped its wings and soared into the clouds again.

Their greatest warrior of the grasslands has become a headless corpse. Victory was in their grasp, and they had clearly won the battle, hadn't they?

In the blink of an eye, their king and first warrior were both killed, and their heads were taken away.

With the king gone, morale collapsed. The Great Silver soldiers who had poured into the city were still fighting, while the Great Silver army outside the city was in complete chaos, bewildered and at a loss. Many more were fleeing in all directions like headless flies.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhu Lin returned to the city tower with the heads of Wanyan Xiong and Wanyan Muku. He threw the two spheres to Luo Ling and said, "The king of the Great Silver Kingdom is dead. Let the soldiers of the Great Jin hold out a little longer and drive out the Great Silver people who have invaded the city. This battle should come to an end."

The soldiers, who had been despondent, were suddenly energized by the turn of events. With a final burst of strength, they drove away the soldiers of the Great Silver Kingdom who had stormed into the city and then closed the city gates.

The Jin soldiers, already at their last gasp, drove away the people of the Great Yin Kingdom. With a final burst of energy, 80% of the soldiers collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"What happened to them?" Xingxing was terrified, thinking that all those people were dead.

"Medical officer, get the medical officer here quickly!" Luo Ling shouted.

Soon, the military doctor arrived with his medicine box and examined the soldiers. When the silver-haired men attacked the city, they killed many people, including the military doctor. Now, only one military doctor survived. It was not easy for one person to take the pulses of all the unconscious soldiers.

Those who hadn't fainted, including Luo Ling, came to help. They checked the soldiers' pulses and breathing and found that most of them had only fainted, while only a few soldiers hadn't made it and had died.

After confirming the soldiers' condition, Luo Ling led his men to hang the heads of Wanyan Xiong and Wanyan Muku on the city wall as a show of force. With the loss of their two top leaders, the Great Silver Kingdom would certainly not dare to invade again in the short term, giving them some time to recover.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Luo Ling asked where the grain was. Xingxing pointed to the two large buckets of mixed grain pills beside her, looking innocent and clueless. "The grain is right here. There are more than three million grains here. Each person will be given fifteen grains, one grain a day. We'll eat them for half a month. The imperial court's grain should arrive after half a month."

Luo Ling: "?" Shocked! He was dumbfounded, incredulous, as if he'd seen a ghost. Was this a joke?

Could these two buckets of beans sustain an army of over 100,000 for half a month? In this battle, the Jin army suffered countless casualties, its numbers dwindling from 200,000 to just over 100,000.

Are you kidding me? This princess is unreliable; she's too young. Does she think she's playing house?

Watching Luo Ling's ever-changing expression, Xingxing chuckled, "General, don't doubt it, these really can fill your stomach. If you don't believe me, try one first."

As Xingxing spoke, she picked up a small brown bean and handed it to Luo Ling, urging him to eat it quickly, "What are you standing there for? Eat it now, aren't you hungry? You won't be hungry anymore if you eat it."

Luo Ling was indignant, his emotions agitated and complex. He was so angry that his whole body trembled, and his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't utter a single complete word.

"Just eat what I tell you to eat. Who are you trying to impress with that Sichuan opera face?" Zhu Lin couldn't stand a grown man being so fussy. As Luo Ling opened his mouth, he used his internal energy to flick a grain ball between his fingers into the other man's mouth.

With a flash, he stepped forward, raised his hand to close the other's lips, and then pinched the chin slightly, causing Luo Ling to swallow the mixed grain pill down his throat.

"You..." Luo Ling was about to curse, but a warm feeling suddenly surged in his stomach, his hunger gradually disappeared, and his spirits lifted.

These little soybeans have such miraculous effects? He must be so ignorant.

"It really is enough to fill you up!" Luo Ling exclaimed in astonishment.

Seeing this, the other deputy generals and adjutants came over and took a grain pill to try. After eating it, they soon realized the wonder of this little bean, and their eyes lit up, feeling very gratified.

"I won't say anything else. Quickly have the soldiers come and collect the mixed grain pills. These things are precious. They are made from a mixture of very rare spiritual herbs and mixed grains. They are priceless, you know? They are extremely hard to come by. Make sure that every soldier receives them." Xingxing rattled off a bunch of instructions.

"I understand, Princess. Rest assured, I, along with several lieutenants, will personally supervise the distribution of the grain pills. There will be no embezzlement or any pills being consumed all at once after receiving them," Luo Ling assured her repeatedly.

Next, Luo ordered all the high-ranking generals to personally supervise the distribution of the mixed grain pills and to require the soldiers who received them to take them immediately, so that there would be no shortage or omissions.

They didn't mind the trouble and insisted on sending it once a day. Xingxing followed their lead, since it wasn't her who was causing the trouble and fatigue.

That night, Luo Ling invited Xingxing and Zhu Lin into his tent and subtly probed them, trying to find out what the mixed grain pills were made of. He said they were practical and easy to carry, and if they could learn the secret recipe, the soldiers on the border would never have to worry about food shortages again.

Unfortunately, his plan was destined to fail. Zhu Lin remained calm and slowly said, "Grains are easy to obtain, but the main ingredient of this grain pill is not grain, but a spiritual herb. This kind of spiritual herb is only found on Immortal Mist Island and is extremely rare."

"It takes a hundred years for a single clump to grow. To alleviate the food shortage for the soldiers in the Northwest, my Immortal Mist Island has already given us all its spiritual herbs; we have no more left."

Luo Ling couldn't help but feel disappointed, knowing that this thing wouldn't be so easy to get his hands on. However, he wasn't a narrow-minded person, and he quickly figured it out. The name Xianwu Island sounded like a fairyland, and looking at this young master Zhu, he also had an ethereal aura, with a refined and otherworldly temperament, and his martial arts were unparalleled at such a young age.

Not to mention that he rode a giant eagle alone to take the heads of Wanyan Xiong and Wanyan Muku, the way he stuffed the mixed grain pills into his mouth was something that most people would find difficult to do.

It should be noted that Luo Ling was able to sit in the position of border commander because his martial arts and strategy were extraordinary. He was also incredibly strong and extremely alert. Ordinary people could not get close to him, let alone feed him beans.

This boy is truly remarkable; once he grows up, I fear no one in the world will be able to match him.

"With someone like Young Master Zhu assisting our Great Jin, I believe we will soon overcome our difficulties. Young Master Zhu is a man of great fortune, and the Great Jin Dynasty will surely benefit from his good fortune. It won't be long before our Great Jin enjoys peace and prosperity," Luo Ling said earnestly.
