Chapter 179: Mobilizing the Entire Force
The reason they were able to stand here unharmed was entirely thanks to the golden whip that Jin Cancan was holding.
The soldiers on guard looked at each other, at a loss for what to do, and could only send someone to fetch the general.
They recognized the golden whip, but could the second-in-command mentioned by these bandits really be the beautiful young girl that the general and the young general cherished?
This is ridiculous.
There were quite a few people watching the commotion at the entrance, so Yuan Siyin calmly said, "Make way," and the crowd immediately parted to make way.
Jin Cancan's eyes lit up immediately: "Sister Jin!"
After a moment of uproar, the crowd fell silent.
Sister Jin?
Could it be that their general is actually the real second-in-command behind the scenes?
But isn't that even more absurd?
Yuan Siyin suddenly felt like laughing when she thought of something.
It's quite a coincidence that she's talking about this now; she never intended to damage her father's reputation.
Yuan Jin paused, looking at her little darling with some suspicion: "Was that you?"
Yuan Siyin nodded, suppressing a laugh: "They are friends, not enemies, Father need not worry."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and pinched Jin Cancan's chubby cheek: "Why did you bring so many people? You were only allowed to escort a few carts of honeysuckle, not to send out your entire force."
Jin Cancan warily grabbed her hand, braced herself against her back, and pulled her behind her. Then, not to be outdone, she shouted at Yuan Jin, "One hand for the goods, we've brought what you wanted, and we're taking the person with us!"
In fact, his small frame didn't even reach Yuan Siyin's waist, and his voice was quite childish. Apart from reciting his special lines correctly, he had absolutely nothing to do with bandits.
Fatty Wang chimed in, "Exactly! They're shameless! They kidnapped our second-in-command without a word, they have no martial ethics!"
Yuan Siyin went up and hit him on the back of the head with a dull thud that struck everyone's hearts.
"It's obvious from this that you're just spouting nonsense. I merely sent someone to deliver the golden whip as a token, how did it become that I was tied up? Hmm?"
Fatty Wang's smile froze, and he swallowed hard, rubbing his bald head. "Ah? So, the second-in-command is..."
"This is the daughter of our General Yuan, the Princess of Leping, personally bestowed by the current Emperor."
Si Fangming guessed that Yuan Siyin had once again outmaneuvered the other party, and immediately stepped forward to offer a friendly reminder.
Well, he just wanted to see how other people would react after being fooled.
How could he be the only one who failed?
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang slapped his thigh excitedly and turned to Liu Mazi, saying with great enthusiasm, "Look at that, look at that! Second-in-command is really capable, managing to snag a princess so quickly..."
He was stunned for a moment, then felt his legs go weak.
"Liu Mazi..."
"How?"
He pinched his thigh, trembling, and asked, "What did he just say?"
"Princess, Princess of Leping, bestowed this title by His Majesty himself."
Liu Mazi was momentarily stunned, and subconsciously repeated it.
Jin Cancan, puzzled, looked up at Yuan Siyin and asked, "Sister Jin, what is a princess?"
Yuan Siyin frowned: "It's nothing important, just an empty title."
Si Fangming was already clutching his stomach and laughing. Yuan Jin glanced around and, with a strong voice, dismissed everyone, "Alright, stop making a scene here and go to the training ground!"
Fortunately, the army was disciplined, and the general's word was law, so everyone disappeared with remarkable speed.
