Apart from the granary, there were probably nothing else in the military camp. Those soldiers likely didn't even have a single piece of bread on them.

The only exception was the eldest prince, who seemed to have been here for some time. I don't know why, as a prince, he didn't stay in the royal court but ran to the border.

Could it be that the Northern Barbarians have some plans?

Seeing that Lin Yue's condition was bad, they wanted to take advantage of his illness and kill him?

After thinking it over, Shen Xingmian felt that this was the most likely possibility.

Seeing the huge chaos in Lin Yue, some people started to have their own ideas, especially the Northern Di, who had always been kept in check by my grandfather's troops.

Upon hearing that their grandfather had been exiled and they needed to send news, how could they not take action?

If they really wanted to make a move, they should have done it sooner. They've already come all the way to the northern border and built up a large army before they even started preparing to attack.

Isn't this efficiency a bit too low?

Or is it that the Northern Barbarians also have many internal problems and simply couldn't attend to this side before?

If that's the case, it's easy to understand. Compared to attacking other countries, resolving the more pressing conflicts on one's own side is definitely more important.

These are all just her guesses and shouldn't be taken seriously. But whatever the reason, the result is that the Northern Di had long missed the best time to attack.

If he had just stayed out of trouble, that would have been fine, but now that he's caught my attention, he's on his own.

Once the weapons and armor are ready, and all the arrangements for spring planting are made, I will be a completely free person without any worries.

At that time, she could go not only to the capital of Lin Yue and the royal court of Bei Di, but also to Nan Yuan.

The sky's the limit, hehe.

Shen Xingmian did not return directly to the military camp, but instead found a secluded corner and returned to her spatial dimension.

After fussing around for a while, she felt that someone in the family should be awake. She checked around and found that her grandfather had indeed gotten up.

She landed outside the tent and quietly called out "Grandpa." Shen Zhiheng rushed out without even putting on his coat.

Based on his understanding of his precious daughter, she would never come to call him so early unless there was a reason.

Shen Xingmian briefly recounted her nighttime experiences to her grandfather, then tentatively asked, "Grandpa, this eldest prince of Beidi doesn't seem like a good person at all. Can we just kill him?"

Shen Xingmian didn't understand, but Shen Zhiheng had dealt with the Northern Di many times and knew a lot about their basic information.

"It's best not to do it for now. This eldest prince is a notorious troublemaker. With him around, the Northern Di royal court is always in chaos. If we just kill him, it would be like solving a huge problem for them. It's not worth it."

Holy crap, thank goodness I didn't just go for it.

Shen Xingmian felt somewhat fortunate.

"He was exiled to the border, probably because he caused some trouble that delayed the Northern Di's military advance, and that's why he was punished."

However, his maternal clan is very powerful, and it's estimated that it won't be long before they can get him back.

Shen Zhiheng added.

"So once he goes back, the Northern Di will continue to fall into internal chaos and won't have time to come and cause us trouble for the time being, right?"

Shen Xingmian felt that a period of peace was not bad, as it would allow her to make more preparations.

Shen Zhiheng nodded and said, "That's true."

"Grandpa, should I take away some of their grain, leaving only enough for them to survive and return home? Maybe then they'll realize they can't win and will hurry back."

"Alright, anyway, with me and your uncle in charge, even if they want to fight to the death, they'll have to have the guts."

Shen Xingmian: Wow, Grandpa is so awesome!

but……

"By the way, Grandpa, their sleeping potion seems to be very potent. Let's see if we can take it all away. If they keep it, it might cause big trouble later."

Shen Zhiheng immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, if it weren't for Guaibao, we would have fallen into their trap this time!"

Every one of those soldiers was important, important to Grandpa, and even more important to their families. Thanks to Mianmian for saving their lives, Grandpa thanks you on their behalf.

Shen Xingmian felt a little embarrassed by what was said, so she quickly changed the subject: "Then, Grandpa, I'll collect the grain first, and then we'll go to the First Prince's camp to look for that sleeping potion and see if we can make a replica when we get back."

"good."

Shen Xingmian went back into the granary and took away most of the remaining grain. Although he felt that the brown rice and brown flour were not very tasty, he could still make do with what others had given him.

hey-hey.

Then, she led her grandfather past the guards and slipped into the eldest prince's tent. To her surprise, there were two women lying on the large bed.

I was so focused on listening to them talk, and the small hole I burned in restricted my view that I couldn't see what was happening on the other side of the bed.

Now that we've come in, we realize that this eldest prince is incredibly absurd. He even brought two women to the military camp!

If she were one of his lowly soldiers, she would absolutely hate this damned class system.

They come here to risk their lives, while the rulers come to enjoy themselves and give them a whole host of difficult tasks.

Destroy it!

A candle was lit in the tent, making it somewhat dim, but they were used to the darkness outside and could see most of the way from inside.

Shen Zhiheng approached the bed with light steps, reached under the eldest prince's neck, and with a forceful pull, the prince's head obediently tilted to the side.

If her grandfather hadn't said that this person couldn't be killed for the time being, she would have thought he was dead.

Shen Zhiheng repeated the same method on the two women before nodding in satisfaction: "Alright, let's start looking."
