The princess was also very satisfied with Shuo Rui's arrangements.

"Then let's do as Lord Shuo said, and wait until he has made military achievements before asking the King to arrange an official position for him."

"Your Highness!" the Grand Master of Ceremonies rushed in and said.

"I don't think that even if Kangcheng had one more chip master, it wouldn't necessarily turn the tide of the battle. Such talent should be hired directly and placed in a position where he can best utilize his abilities."

That old bastard is really vicious!

If I leave, Shuo Rui will just go back to the way things were before.

After what happened to me, it will probably be even worse than before.

Damn it! There's no shortage of treacherous officials who harm those who do real work, no matter where they are.

Unfortunately, this treacherous minister still holds real power, and the country is on the verge of collapse.

Her Highness is indeed considering it, but I said:

"No one should accept a green hat without merit! I think I should first prove myself!"

Shuo Rui visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Grand Master of Ceremonies turned pale upon hearing this; I had essentially cut off my own path to wealth and power.

“Mr. Zheng! You don’t value your life as much as other masters do.”

"If everyone cherishes their lives, the country will perish. You want to be a slave of a conquered nation? I don't want that!"

"you!"

Princess: "Mr. Zheng is right! Every citizen has a responsibility for the prosperity of the nation."

But some so-called masters, relying on their abilities, completely disregard the state of the nation; such people ultimately face a lonely end.

To me, it sounds like this princess doesn't think much of the Grand Master of Ceremonies either.

The Grand Master of Ceremonies rolled his eyes:

"Mr. Zheng! Why don't you stay here for a drink? You can keep the princess company."

"No need, the Grand Master of Ceremonies here arranges tables according to the gifts given, I don't have the money to pay for a seat here."

"General! Let's go!"

"Alright!" Shuo Rui and I left the hall together, leaving the Grand Master of Ceremonies there gritting his teeth.

Her Highness snorted coldly: "The Grand Master's method of determining position by price is truly eye-opening."

Look at the people in this hall! Aside from the wealthy, probably only corrupt officials are left.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Master immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Her Highness stood up and went directly into the courtyard.

We had just sat down when Her Highness the Princess sat down next to me.

Shuo Dai and Shuo Zi quickly stood up, but before they could even greet her, the princess waved her hand and said, "Sit down, sit down!"

The two sisters had no choice but to nod and sit down.

"Shuo Dai!"

"Yes!" Shuo Dai tried to stand up, but the princess pressed her hand down again: "Sit down, sit down! Oh my! You're getting more and more beautiful, no wonder you can attract the master."

At this point, Her Highness the Princess looked at me and said, "It's rare that Mr. Zheng is not only strong but also so handsome."

Shuo Dai blushed as she was told this.

Shuo Rui picked up the wine and poured a cup for the princess:

"Your Highness is too kind. It is truly all fate. If Mr. Zheng had seen Your Highness first, I'm afraid Shuo Dai would not have had a chance."

"Oh? Hehe... Mr. Zheng, would you be interested in me?"

"It's hard to say! I judge people not only by their looks, but also by their hearts. If they treat me badly, even a fairy descending to earth wouldn't help me."

Fortunately! Miss Shuo is quite nice to me.

Shuo Rui felt a pang of guilt; he hadn't been so polite to me.

“Mr. Zheng! I was a bit rash at first, but when it comes to making friends, I’m honest with you. I promise you that from now on… well, just watch my actions.”

"Pfft!" Her Highness burst out laughing:

"It seems that there is still a small misunderstanding between Lord Marquis and Mr. Zheng."

I smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Come on, Mr. Zheng! Let's get to know each other again, Jingnan!"

I reached out my hand and shook hers.

Jingnan didn't immediately let go, but instead flipped her hand over:

"Mr. Zheng's fingers are so long and delicate. Shuo Dai is so lucky in the future."

What does good or bad fortune have to do with your fingers?

"Mr. Zheng, you haven't done any heavy work before, have you?"

"I don't know! I can't remember what I used to do."

However, I was quite diligent in the mountains. My adoptive father liked to collect scraps and often repaired machine wreckage.

I helped fix quite a few things, but my hand is still like this.

I said, and then pulled my hand back.

Shuo Rui: "By fusing with the blood of the core machine, all bodily functions will change, and reaching the master level is a qualitative leap."

Look at me, I've been on the battlefield all year round, but I don't look weathered at all."

Jingnan ignored Shuorui and continued to say to me, "Mr. Zheng! I am not only a princess, but also in charge of the intelligence department of Dan Kingdom. Please don't be angry when I say something."

"What a coincidence! The Si Kingdom attacked Kangcheng, and Mr. Zheng just happened to appear. And, even more coincidentally, he got involved with the daughter of our border general."

"Does Your Highness suspect I am from that side?"

I'm afraid that not only Jingnan is suspicious of me now, but Shuorui's whole family has changed their expressions.

“That’s possible!” Jingnan stared intently at me, not even blinking.

"The princess's abilities must not be very good. If I were you, I would also have to weigh the situation carefully."

If I were from the Kingdom of Si, with my abilities, would you still be able to see me today?

I buried General Shuo on the way. If I still want to achieve great merit, then I'll agree to go to the royal court and kill an even bigger one.

Am I right, General?

"Yes, yes!" Shuo Rui felt ashamed.

Jingnan was taken aback: "Even the Marquis is no match for Mr. Zheng?"

"Yes! Mr. Zheng is much better than me."

Jingnan looked me over again: "My lord! What do you think of Su Lao from our royal court compared to him?"

Shuo Rui: "It's hard to say!"

Jingnan was even more surprised.

I don't know who this Su Lao is, but judging from their expressions, he must be a very powerful person.

Jingnan thought for a moment and said, "My lord! I think I should go back with you."
