"Princess, we can't hold on for much longer."

"Wait a little longer."

A group of people with disheveled hair and tattered clothes. Their slender jade fingers used to be stained with nail polish and wore rings, but now their ten nails have been worn flat, and their delicate fingers are covered with ropes. They roughly drew a map on the sand. Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips that were dry enough to bleed: "Those thieves from Yan State are determined to fight me to the end. We must not give back the secret medicine we stole with great difficulty!"

"Someone is coming."

The sentry shouted in a low voice, and everyone immediately packed up their things, wiped off the traces on the ground, and at a gesture from Jiang Ruohua, evacuated in the planned direction!

The race against time cannot afford any mistakes. For this moment, they have been planning the action for almost a year. After being separated from the main force, Jiang Ruohua and this group of scattered people accidentally fell into the enemy's lair.

Everyone was prepared to fight hard, and if it didn't work, they thought about sending Jiang Ruohua out first.

But the enemy would naturally not let them succeed. Jiang Ruohua decided to stay here temporarily. Her identity was special, and the enemy was determined to use her to deal with her father.

With her understanding of her father, this trick would naturally not work. Her father would not give up his duties for her.

But she wanted to make the thieves believe that she could control her father.

A bold plan was conceived in her mind. Facing the enemy's eager eyes, she calmly began to quietly arrange her plan. In the enemy camp, she became a little girl who only knew how to show off, and a villain who would do anything to survive. In the enemy's ruthless ridicule, all her actions looked like a trapped beast, and her wings were easily broken. She could only lie on the ground and struggle hard, and she became a laughing stock.

She was tied up and beaten, and was used to severely dampen the morale of the captured army.

The captured soldiers were trembling with anger. Jiang Ruohua endured the pain in her body and did not speak. She believed that someone in the army must understand what she meant. After living together day and night for several years, she and the soldiers had their own unique tacit understanding.

She could not become a hostage to capture her father, but she could not sit and wait for death. If she committed suicide to protect her own ridiculous reputation, wouldn't it be her incompetence? Now

that she has come to the battlefield, she swears to earn fame and honor!

Her ancestors endured humiliation and endured hardships. She, Jiang Ruohua, has never been a delicate girl. She can do this kind of thing. As long as she can bring victory to the Great Qi Dynasty, there is nothing she can't give up!

She deliberately pretended to be incompetent and ignorant, allowing people to bully and insult her. She forgot all the bad words after hearing them. This was a skill she had learned from her master long ago. She also spoke hard and harsh words at the right time, making the enemy believe little by little that her father would give up everything for her. The

captured soldiers did not get angry because of the humiliation. Although many people almost thought they had followed the wrong person and were full of disappointment and anger, fortunately there were some calmer ones among them. They immediately expressed their thoughts when the enemy was drinking and relaxing at night.

After several years of getting along, they actually knew Jiang Ruohua's strength, loyalty, and wisdom.

How could she be such a person who would give in easily?

Everything abnormal must be caused by something. Everyone gradually calmed down, kept calm and waited patiently. Finally, after several months, they received the news from Jiang Ruohua.

The enemy was arrogant and believed Jiang Ruohua's acting over the past few months. They believed that the beatings and kicks were enough to wear down a person's will and make her spit out everything.

It was also this arrogance that allowed Jiang Ruohua to quietly get a lot of news.

For example, her father was commanding the army according to the marching plan she had set before.

This also gave Jiang Ruohua more confidence and improved her plan better.

The enemy was cunning. Although her plan was gradually being perfected and implemented, it was not smooth sailing. Every step of success cost countless lives. Everyone was ready to die for the sake of victory.

They stole intelligence and risked their lives to pass it out. Everyone was trying their best to endure the pain of losing their brothers who had been with them day and night, just for the moment of victory.

"Next!"

Jiang Ruohua threw the secret medicine in her hand to someone. Looking at the endless stream of pursuers behind her, she ran in another direction alone!

The enemy believed without hesitation that she was taking the secret medicine to find the main force, and a large number of people followed her!

The stolen horses fell down exhausted after running into the valley of strange rocks. Jiang Ruohua rolled on the ground for a few times, gritted her teeth and stood up to continue moving forward. The army kept approaching and gradually found something wrong.

A pair of scissors brushed past Jiang Ruohua's ear, and blood fell on the yellow sand. She reached out to cover her ears, and continued to run deeper, not daring to stop for a moment!

It's almost there, it's almost there!

The valley was in chaos, like a natural maze. When she reached a dead end, the enemy's sarcasm was also close at hand!

"Jiang Ruohua, you can't run away!"

Several arrows had already shot at her feet, and she was also exhausted.

The eldest prince of Yan State laughed wildly with a lewd look on his face: "Little bastard, I will repay you a hundredfold for the humiliation you suffered in the past!"

Jiang Ruohua leaned against the strange rock and chuckled: "You couldn't do it in the past, and you can't do it today. Even if I die, the iron hoofs of the Daqi Dynasty will definitely flatten this place!"

As if reflecting these words, arrows mixed with falling rocks rolled down from the strange rocky mountain. The hills on both sides were full of Daqi Dynasty soldiers, and the enemy army without the secret medicine was demoralized. They were beaten to the point of throwing away their armor and weapons, and fled in panic without any discipline.

They endured humiliation and stole intelligence and secret medicine, and designed a plan to lure the enemy into a desperate situation. The Daqi Dynasty caught a turtle in a jar, annihilated the enemy army, and won a great victory!

Jiang Ruohua smiled, watching the arrogant eldest prince die under the arrows, and sat down against the strange rock with some exhaustion.

She did it.

She really did it.

Great, they won this battle!

When she woke up again, she had returned to the camp. Her father's eyes were red, and the emotions that had been suppressed for so long were finally released at this time.

"Dad almost thought he would never see you again."

Father and daughter hugged each other, Jiang Ruohua's eyes were red, but she pretended to be relaxed and said: "If I end up dying on the battlefield, I won't be ashamed of my origin."

Several veterans on the side wanted to relax the atmosphere, so they said: "How could it be possible? Princess has made a great contribution this time. We followed your plan all the way forward, and you led people to infiltrate the enemy camp to cooperate with us. This time, we were able to chew this hard bone so smoothly. It is definitely a first-class contribution!"

Everyone had their own opinions, but most of them were filled with joy of victory. The news of the great victory soon reached the capital, and

everyone's worries were put at ease.

The territories of several countries were incorporated into the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the remaining people who could make decisions and speak out had to temporarily serve as managers and return to the capital with the army.

When Jiang Ruohua came back, she looked very different from before. She was calm on horseback, not the heroic girl, but a general returning from the battlefield.

After everyone returned to the capital to report on their duties, the eunuch next to Luo Fengming took out an imperial edict from the secret compartment and looked at Luo Fengming.

This imperial edict had been stored for several years and was a little dusty, but it was a will left by the previous emperor.

There was only one thing written on it, which was to establish a queen for the next emperor, and the person who was chosen was Jiang Ruohua.

The late emperor was very smart. He saw from the beginning that Jiang Ruohua was no ordinary woman. He guessed that the Jiang family might prosper again because of this woman, so he left this edict early, using the most honorable status in the world to help his son control these powerful ministers.

This imperial edict was waiting to be read out as soon as Jiang Ruohua came back.

Luo Fengming had changed a lot from the past. He looked more mature and more like an emperor. This imperial edict brought his thoughts back to that night several years ago.

When he saw Jiang Ruohua again, she had indeed changed a lot, or it could be said that this was her truest appearance.

If he sent someone to read the edict, everything would be ruined.

"Let's destroy it."

He did not follow his father's wishes and keep Jiang Ruohua by his side.

Instead, he made an exception and let Jiang Ruohua, as a woman, be granted a military officer position and let her inherit the family title. This was the first time in the history of the Great Qi Dynasty. It looked absurd, but no one dared to say anything.

It was Jiang Ruohua who stood up when no one dared to resist the enemy, and it was also Jiang Ruohua who led the soldiers to a great victory. She deserved the title, and even the dirtiest words seemed weak and powerless. These self-proclaimed noble ministers were not willing to lose their integrity, and they dared not speak.

After getting rid of her fatigue and recovering from her injuries, Jiang Ruohua went to see her old friends after a long absence. Xie Shuyan's eldest child had already started to learn to read and could recite the poems he had just learned from his teacher in front of everyone. They were still as close as when they were classmates, but after they got married, they had very little time to see each other.

Halfway through the gathering, Princess Shangyang whispered, "Since you are not here, I have actually gotten together with them less. Although I am happy to see them, I feel like I can't talk to them anymore."

"That's not strange." Jiang Ruohua actually felt the same way. "We are walking on two different paths. We have different contacts, so we naturally have less to say. But I think... no matter what, as long as we live well, that's enough."

"That's true." Princess Shangyang nodded. "They are all loving with their husbands, and have both sons and daughters. They are pretty happy. Although there is less to say, it is enough for everyone to still care about each other as before."

The group talked mostly about old things. As they were talking, Liu Xiyun seemed to remember something important and mentioned to Jiang Ruhua: "Do you still remember your third cousin?"

"Jiang Ruoting?"

Jiang Ruhua felt a little unfamiliar after not mentioning her for many years. Since she entered the palace, Jiang Ruhua no longer paid attention to her, and now she didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

"Yeah." This was considered an old friend of everyone. Unfortunately, after recognizing Jiang Ruoting's true face, the sisters cut off contact with her. Liu Xiyun said, "I originally thought that she should have died long ago after being tortured in the palace. As a result, I entered the palace and heard my aunt talk about it. I found out that she was stubborn. After being bullied like that, she still dreamed of taking revenge on you one day."

"She has been waiting for our emperor to ascend the throne, but she still tried to get close to the emperor and wanted to be the new emperor's concubine."

Jiang Ruohua smiled after hearing this. Today, she and Jiang Ruoting are worlds apart. Such an action that is doomed to fail will no longer make her feel as happy as when she took revenge on the third room.

It turns out that it is already a thing of the past.

"Then what?" However, she couldn't dampen her sisters' interest, so she continued to ask.

"She really overestimated her own abilities. The emperor also saw how she got on the dragon bed of the previous emperor. How could she be fooled like this? It was because he was concerned that she was not the granddaughter of Mr. Jiang that he allowed her to see her family again before she died."

Mr. Jiang was reluctant to come at first. Who would admit that he had such a shameful granddaughter?

Not only that, the other children of the third branch of the Jiang family also disliked her very much. In the end, it was the young master of the third branch, Jiang Ruoting's frail and sickly brother, who went to see her.

Jiang Ruoting called her brother to save her, asking him to consider the sibling relationship, but she didn't expect that her behavior had already brought shame to the Jiang family, and her brother was no longer the frail and sickly brother. He had been taught very well by her husband in the past few years, and the bad habits brought to him by the third room had long been corrected.

"It was my father and mother who did the wrong thing, but my sister was still stubborn and stubborn. My eldest sister didn't get angry with us, which was already her generosity. Now the Jiang family can be like this, and I and other half-brothers and sisters can have today, all because of my eldest sister's hard work. I don't understand, when did my eldest sister offend you? Why did my sister have to take something that didn't belong to you?"

Such a speech completely made Jiang Ruoting despair, and she was hanged in the cold palace with a white silk.

Jiang Ruhua laughed after hearing this, and it seemed that the rest of the brothers and sisters were living well now.

Not long after, she received a long-awaited letter from her foreign family.

It was a letter from Zhao Yuexi. After a quick glance, she could sense her changes between the lines. Compared to

her previous timidity, she seemed to speak more confidently. The Wen family members talked about Zhao Yuexi with a smile, saying that at first, it was hard to believe that she could do things well because she was so timid. But they didn't expect that she would really make a name for herself later. She smiled gently and looked like a good child now.

The letter included greetings and relationship with Jiang Ruohua, as well as her own situation. Zhao Yuexi found someone she could entrust her life to, and now they run several shops together and live a happy life.

Jiang Ruohua also smiled and wrote back to her, saying that she had returned safely from the border and won a great victory.

The previous dynasty was busy with how to divide these countries and how to take over these people. The ministers began to worry about this. After all, the lives inside and outside the pass were two completely different lives. How to make the remaining people stop causing trouble became the top priority.

At the celebration banquet, Jiang Ruohua saw Luo Yu again.

For some reason, she felt that there were some changes on his face.

The two of them walked to a quiet place unknowingly, and their hands were gently held together.

Luo Yu's palms were full of sweat, and he looked very nervous.

Jiang Ruohua smiled and teased him that he was nervous.

Luo Yu pursed his face and asked her if she felt that her appearance had changed.

Jiang Ruohua nodded, but at this moment she could no longer hear what he said in his heart, so she didn't understand why.

"Actually... I thought that since you have to keep looking at Luo Zhengyu's face, and I guessed that you would always think of the things in the first life, I used some of my unique methods to make me look more like myself now... Hehe... It's just that I'm not as good-looking as Luo Zhengyu."

He looked a little mediocre, but Jiang Ruohua didn't care about that. Appearance has never been the most important thing.

And the most important thing, both of them have already obtained it.

Luo Fengming watched from a distance in the back, and then went back without any incident, and took the opportunity to mention the beauty pageant to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother was naturally happy, and immediately ordered people to prepare.

However, the resettlement of the people from the previous countries was still a headache. Due to different habits, many things were difficult to carry out. Moreover, the people of these small countries were accustomed to their previous lives, and most of them believed that the strong were respected. Compared with the officials sent to the local area, they were more willing to listen to the words of the soldiers who had led troops to fight.

As for who had made the greatest contribution in this war...

Luo Fengming was more far-sighted than his father, and had more trust in loyal and righteous ministers.

For the first time in the creation of the world, Jiang Ruohua was canonized as king. During her lifetime, she would manage the land and people she conquered, and help these people better adapt to the life of the Great Qi Dynasty.

The court officials dared not to raise any objections, but they could not help but ask the emperor to consider giving Jiang Ruohua a marriage and consider the selection of the princess to ensure her loyalty.

"I have already decided on this."

After going to the fiefdom, the news of the sudden death of Prince Ying came from the capital.

At the same time, a man appeared in the fiefdom who made Prince Huijing feel good.
