The border was won with great victory, and the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield had not yet completely dissipated, but Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan immediately began to arrange subsequent matters.

In order to reassure the emperor and the people of the capital as soon as possible, they decided to send a fast messenger immediately to deliver the victory news to the emperor.

Zhao Gang flew back early to deliver a letter to the emperor.

After arriving in the capital, we headed straight to the imperial palace.

At this time, the emperor was discussing important matters with his ministers in the court. When he heard that the messenger wanted to see him, he was startled and hurriedly summoned him into the palace.

Zhao Gang could not hide his excitement and knelt down to present the victory news.

The emperor took it, started reading, and his smile grew wider as he read aloud: "With wisdom and courage, our army skillfully used new weapons to defeat the enemy. The enemy threw away their armor and fled in panic. The border is now safe!"

The ministers knelt down one after another, shouting: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, congratulations to our dynasty for its great victory!"

For a moment, there was jubilation in the court.

The emperor immediately ordered the preparation of a grand ceremony to welcome the triumphant soldiers.

Here, Wang Meng received the order to fly the plane, which roared through the sky and quickly found 깊녊's marching army.

The plane slowly landed in the open space in front of the army. The huge roar attracted the soldiers to stop one after another, and they looked at the huge object that fell from the sky with curiosity and surprise.

General Li frowned and walked forward with a puzzled look on his face. After seeing Wang Meng coming down from the plane, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't this Wang Meng, the princess's subordinate?

How did you come?

Why did you fly the plane here? What happened?

We are rushing to the border to fight. ”

General Li and Bai Linglong had dealt with each other in the past, so he naturally recognized Wang Meng and the plane that belonged exclusively to the princess.

Wang Meng stood up straight, saluted General Li, and said loudly: "General Li, the princess and the King of Zhennan sent me here.

General, please don't go any further, lead the army back to Beijing immediately! ”

When General Li heard this, he became even more confused, and asked with wide eyes, "Return to Beijing?

What's going on?

We haven't reached the border yet and the war hasn't started yet, so why should we return to Beijing? ”

Wang Meng couldn't help but smile triumphantly and announced excitedly: "General, the battle is over!

The princess and the prince led the brothers on the border to a great victory. The enemy was defeated and fled in embarrassment! ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding soldiers exploded instantly.

"What?

Is the war over?

This is the first day since leaving Beijing! ”

“Is this true?

Win so soon? ”

The soldiers whispered to each other, their faces filled with surprise and disbelief.

General Li was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and asked quickly, "What...what is going on?

How come it's so fast? ”

Wang Meng patiently explained: "General, the princess took out powerful thermal weapons. Once those weapons were used, the enemy had no chance of fighting back.

The prince and his brothers on the border worked in perfect harmony and quickly defeated the enemy! ”

Soldier Xiaohui couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, I was thinking about showing off my skills on the battlefield, but I didn't expect the battle to be over!

If I had known I was at home, I would have slept in a few more days. ”

As he spoke, he slapped his thigh exaggeratedly.

The soldier Xiaodong jumped up excitedly and almost threw away the spear in his hand: "This is great, we can go back without fighting!

I heard that the princess is an expert in thermal weapons. This time I really learned a lot!

I have to go back and give my little nephew a good blow. ”

Soldier Xiaoqiang came over curiously and asked, "So are we going back to the capital right now?

You must be exhausted walking all the way back. ”

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Yes, General, the prince and princess asked me to inform you to have the army return to the capital immediately."

After hearing this, General Li was delighted and ordered loudly: "Good!

In this case, everyone obey my order and the army will return! ”

The soldiers cheered and their originally tired steps became brisk, and they returned to the capital in a mighty manner.

Wang Meng boarded the plane again and went ahead to report to Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan.

Bai Linglong, Nangong Yan and several generals boarded the plane and flew towards the capital.

The plane was flying smoothly at high altitude. Bai Linglong looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, feeling deeply moved.

This victory was hard-won, not only due to the advantage of weapons, but also the unity of all soldiers.

Nangong Yan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and whispered, "This victory is entirely due to the princess's ingenious ideas and the bravery of the soldiers.

Next, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with in the capital. ”

Bai Linglong nodded in agreement, with a firm look in her eyes:

"In the future, border defense and people's livelihood must be properly arranged, and we cannot relax for a moment."

In the capital, the news of victory spread quickly like a spring breeze throughout the streets and alleys.

When the people learned that the army had returned victoriously, they flocked to the streets to welcome the return of the heroes.

At the city gate, there was an old man with gray hair, wearing a coarse linen shirt that had turned white from washing.

Leaning on a cane, he excitedly said to the people next to him: "I heard that our army won a great victory. The princess and the Prince of Zhennan are really amazing!

We can continue to live in peace. ”

As he spoke, all the wrinkles on his face turned into a flower.

A middle-aged woman nearby, wearing a plain blue cloth and a square scarf on her head, quickly agreed: "Yes!

Thanks to them, we can live a peaceful life in the future.

I don't know how much spoils they will bring back this time.

Maybe, some of it can be distributed to ordinary people to improve their lives. ”

His eyes were full of anticipation.

A young man, wearing shorts and with muscular arms, waved his arms excitedly and said, "I also heard that the princess used some magical hot weapons to beat the enemy to a pulp. Those weapons must be extremely powerful!"

If I had one, I would be able to scare away all the bad guys. ”

“I really hope to meet them soon and thank these heroes in person!”

A little girl with two pigtails and a floral dress blinked her bright eyes and said expectantly.

As the plane slowly landed, the people's cheers suddenly rang out, one wave after another like a surging tide.

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan stepped off the plane. They saw a jubilant scene in front of them. People knelt down to pay homage, and shouted:

"Princess, how old you are!

The Prince of Zhennan is getting older and older! ”

Bai Linglong said quickly: "Everyone, please stand up quickly. This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. It is all the soldiers who fought hard and shed blood that brought us this victory."

An old lady walked forward with unsteady and trembling steps, holding a basket full of fruits in her hand. There were red apples and yellow pears in the basket.

She held Bai Linglong's hand with her calloused hands and said, "Princess, these are fruits that I grew myself.

You must try it. Thanks to you and the prince, we have peace today.

You are the great benefactors of us ordinary people. ”

Bai Linglong took the basket and said with emotion: "Thank you, grandma, I accept your kindness.

This victory belongs to everyone, and it is our common goal to protect our homeland. ”

In the crowd, a naughty little boy, wearing a worn but clean shirt, asked loudly: "Princess, are those thermal weapons really that powerful?

Is it like a magic weapon from the gods? ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

Bai Linglong smiled and replied: "Those weapons are not magic weapons of the gods, but they are the crystallization of our wisdom and are sharp tools to protect our country.

As long as we unite as one, we can overcome any difficulties. ”

Amidst the laughter and joy, Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan, surrounded by the common people, went to the palace to report.

Inside the magnificent palace, the emperor sat high on the dragon throne with a gratified smile on his face: "Bai Linglong, Nangong Yan, you have made great achievements this time, I will reward you well!"

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.

Bai Linglong said respectfully: "Father, this is the result of the bloody battles of the soldiers. Linglong dare not complain."

Nangong Yan, the Prince of Zhennan, cupped his hands and said, "Father, all the soldiers are devoted to the country. This is the victory. I am only doing my part."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so modest. If it weren't for your good command and clever use of unusual tactics, this war would not have gone so smoothly.

Tell me, what kind of reward do you want? ”

Bai Linglong thought for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Father, although the border is peaceful now, the people have suffered from the war and their lives are difficult.

Linglong boldly requests that Your Majesty allocate some silver to provide relief to the people living in the border areas and help them rebuild their homes. ”

Nangong Yan immediately said, "Father, I second your motion.

In addition, border defense cannot be neglected, and it is necessary to send more troops and strengthen fortifications. ”

Bai Linglong's eyes lit up, and she continued, "Father, I have another plan.

I have a magical thing in my hand called cement, which is very useful in repairing city walls and building roads.

The city walls built with cement are much stronger and more durable than ordinary brick and stone walls.

돗After solidification, it is as hard as stone. It can not only resist erosion from wind and rain, but also withstand stronger attacks.

Even if the enemy attacked the city with heavy weapons such as catapults, it would be difficult to cause damage to them.

Moreover, cement construction is convenient, which can greatly shorten the construction period and save manpower and materials.

We can use it to repair the border walls and make the defense more solid. ”

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes were full of curiosity and admiration: "Oh?

Is there such a magical thing?

Does this cement really have such miraculous effects? ”

Bai Linglong nodded confidently: "Father, it is absolutely true.

Not only that, cement is also excellent for road construction.

In the past, most roads were dirt roads, which were dusty on sunny days and muddy and difficult to travel on rainy days.

Roads paved with cement are flat and solid, making them more convenient for vehicles and people to travel. They can also promote trade between different regions and prosper the economy. ”

Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Works stepped forward, frowned slightly and said: "Although what the princess said is good, I have never heard of this cement. Is the method of making it complicated?

Will the cost be too high? ”

Bai Linglong smiled and explained: "Mr. Zhang, the raw materials for cement are common and easy to find, I have mastered the production method, and the cost is within an acceptable range.

As long as it is arranged reasonably, it will bring many benefits to the country without increasing too much expenditure. ”

The emperor stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!

In that case, I agree.

Silver was allocated to help the people, additional troops were sent to garrison the border, and at the same time the cement was used to repair city walls and build roads.

Bai Linglong, Nangong Yan, this matter will be handed over to you to supervise, and make sure it is done well! ”

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan knelt down and accepted the order: "Your sons and ministers obey your orders!"

After leaving the palace, Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan did not return to the palace, but went to the military camp.

The soldiers saw him and saluted in unison.

"No need to be polite."

Bai Linglong said, "Everyone has worked hard this time. Take a good rest for a few days, but don't relax. Be prepared to deal with danger at any time."

At this time, General Zhang stepped forward and said worriedly: "Princess, Prince Zhennan, although we have won this time, the Canglang Kingdom will not give up, we must make plans early.

In my opinion, they may secretly gather troops and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. We must strengthen our reconnaissance and keep an eye on their movements. ”
