It was already late, so Baili Tang only asked Meng Fang to find the generals and tell them to each send a hundred elite soldiers to destroy the bandits' food supplies. As for the matter of Chao Man'er and the other two, he would not tell them for the time being, as only the three of them knew about it.

At this moment, Meng Fang was conveying the emperor's orders to various generals.

Some have already raised questions, some even calling out Meng Fang's name: "Meng Fang, what do you mean? Do you realize that by doing this, you are undoubtedly sending us to our deaths?"

"Meng Fang, Meng Fang, even if you are a favorite of His Majesty, you can't be so sinister, right? We and your Meng family army have always kept our distance from each other. Why bother?"

"General Meng, I've heard that you, General Meng, are always capable of fighting ten enemies with one. Your five thousand soldiers are more than enough to wipe out the tens of thousands of villains on that hilltop."

"Hahaha!"

This group of people were talking back and forth, which made Meng Fang very angry. He naturally came here in accordance with the imperial order, but he did not expect these people to expose their wolfish intentions without any concealment.

He was so angry!

Although, Meng Fang had thought in his heart that this would be the situation!

Only Ye Hongxue and Lin Jiahao listened to their banter quietly, as if they were watching a play.

Meng Fang sneered: "So, generals, are you all trying to disobey the order?"

"How can we dare to disobey your order?"

"We have always been respectful to His Majesty. General Meng, please do not gossip about His Majesty."

How could there be any respect in these words?!

Just as Meng Fang was about to lose his temper, Ye Hongxue spoke up, "General Meng, please go back. If His Majesty doesn't summon us and personally give us orders, it will be hard for us to believe what you say."

"That's right. There's not even an imperial decree. How can anyone believe what you just said?"

"Alright." Even though Meng Fang wanted to kill everyone except Ye Hongxue, he still had to endure it. Because these people might join the bandit camp at any time, and the forces behind them would also rebel.

The current situation in Jing State is too delicate.

Meng Fang took a few steps away, and Ye Hongxue caught up with him. Ye Hongxue smiled and said, "General Meng, it's been three years since we last met. How have you been lately?"

"If you think it's good, then it's good. If you think it's bad, then it's bad." Meng Fang said in a somewhat cold tone, as if he was angry.

The reason why Meng Fang has not gotten married yet is related to this woman!

"General Meng, Hongxue knows you hate me... Hongxue won't beat around the bush with you. I heard that General Meng developed a crossbow?"

"Confidential." Meng Fang said only two words and disappeared into the night.

Ye Hongxue raised her lips and said, "Secret?" But it soon became a secret. She immediately went to find someone who could help her—Chao Man'er.

In the early years, when they were in the capital, she had a very good relationship with Chao Man'er. Chao Hong and his daughter were able to escape from the capital at that time, thanks to the secret help of her Ye family.

At this moment, Chao Man'er was in a daze. Seeing Ye Hongxue coming to find her, she ran over excitedly: "Sister Ye, Man'er missed you so much!!"

"The slug from back then has grown up..."

After the two exchanged greetings, Ye Hongxue directly stated the purpose of his visit.

Chao Man'er frowned. "Only Meng Fang and Baili Tang's first-class guards have this thing. No one else has ever seen it. But it's really powerful! Of course, my father and I were almost assassinated by the assassins from Tiansha Tower..."

"Even you can't do anything? His Majesty is your uncle after all..." Ye Hongxue didn't quite believe what Chao Man'er said.

"Royal uncle? Now, all he has eyes for is that peasant girl. He has completely forgotten my aunt who has passed away. What's more, I can't even get close to her now." The more Chao Man'er spoke, the angrier she became.

"Hi……"

The two chatted for a while and then parted ways.

Meng Fang returned to Baili Tang and reported what had just happened. He was still furious about what had just happened. With a powerful enemy before him, these people, who were paid by His Majesty, not only refused to share His Majesty's concerns, but their words were full of disrespect and rebellious intent, obvious to everyone.

Baili Tang, however, was very open-minded. He believed that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. "General Meng, just wait. Soon, I will make them cry! Tomorrow, gather everyone. It's time for me to meet them."

…

The next day, the sky was overcast in the morning.

Tens of thousands of people formed a big circle, it was quite spectacular!

Many people were finally able to see their emperor.

Their Majesty.

Seems to be thinner.

The skin has also become a lot darker.

It seemed a little different. There was some indescribable charm.

As usual, Baili Tang was still wearing luxurious casual clothes. Since arriving in this world, he had never worn a dragon robe.

All the way north, soldiers from all over the country were leading the way. With so many people and so many things going on, they naturally couldn't see Baili Tang.

After Meng was released last night, Baili Tang did not ask Zhang Dongzheng to come over to discuss things. Zhang Dongzheng was not suitable for doing some things that offended people, just like what Baili Tang was going to do next.

If Zhang Dongzheng were to do it, he would definitely become the target of public criticism!

In the future, you won’t even know how you died!

Baili Tang walked to the center, with Meng Fang and several first-class guards guarding him. Behind these people, there were also "eyes" watching. No one could tell if an assassin would sneak in.

Baili Tang asked everyone loudly: "What are the clothes for?"

Only the Royal Legion replied: "Cover yourself to keep warm!"

The others may appear quiet on the surface, but they must be sneering in their hearts.

Baili Tang asked again: "Where is the house?"

“Anju!!”

Baili Tang asked again: "Where's the food?"

"To fill the stomach!" Liang Erhu and others answered again.

Baili Tang quickly searched the knowledge base in his mind and pulled out a passage written by Han Feizi from another world:

"An ancient saying goes: 'Everything has its proper place, every talent has its application. When each is in its proper place, there is no need for interference from superiors and subordinates. Let a rooster watch the night, a raccoon catch a mouse. If they all use their abilities, the superior will have nothing to worry about. If the superior has his strengths, things will not be done properly. If one is proud of his abilities, he will be deceived by his subordinates. If one is eloquent and loves life, his subordinates will be used according to their abilities. If the superiors and subordinates are easily manipulated, the country will not be governed."

The general meaning is: If things have their proper uses, they can be used and displayed, and each one is in its proper place, then the ruler can rule without intervention. Let the rooster crow at dawn, let the cat catch mice, if they can all display their talents in this way, then the ruler can rule without intervention...

In short, it means everyone should do their own thing, perform their own duties, and fulfill their own responsibilities!!

Downstairs, Xiao Jiao couldn't help but quietly ask Ye Hongxue, "General, I'm afraid this article was written by Master Zhang again? I didn't expect someone could even recite it."

Ye Hongxue chuckled and said nothing.

By chance, Baili Tang saw what Ye Hongxue and Xiao Jiao were doing, and walked over to them, questioning them: "Are you questioning me?"

There is actually a female general, quite interesting!

Ye Hongxue said very respectfully: "Your Majesty, I dare not do that!"

"Then tell me, what are the duties of a general?"

"Lead troops to fight and defend the country!" Ye Hongxue answered very loudly!

"Aren't you ashamed?"
