"No way! You've already done a great job, activating the protective formations in three places in one go." Little Mirror saw Fang Ruotang was discouraged and immediately tried to comfort her.
"Really?" Fang Ruotang froze, waiting for the little mirror's answer.
[Seriously, if it were the Crown Prince and his men, they wouldn't be able to open a single one.]
"They're so bad at cooking?" Fang Ruotang grinned, looking smug.
[Exactly! Compared to adults, they're nothing. Otherwise, why would adults always look down on them? They're just too weak!]
Little Mirror was completely unrestrained. Since he wouldn't be working for the six masters anymore, he could say whatever he wanted, even things he shouldn't. With connections above him, what was he afraid of?
Fang Ruotang chuckled twice and called out to the Crown Prince and Huo Zhige.
Little Mirror tensed up instantly. Would the adults want to sell him?
Given that adults are straightforward and can't keep secrets, it's quite possible!
Fortunately, the adults didn't mention these things, so he was able to disappear perfectly.
[Crown Prince, Zhige, what are you doing?]
[I didn't do anything. I just heard from a palace servant that you've entered the palace. Why didn't you come to see me?] The Crown Prince raised his hand, signaling the palace ministers to pause their reports.
The ministers looked puzzled as the crown prince, who had been standing there perfectly fine, suddenly changed his demeanor, a faint smile playing on his lips, seemingly lost in thought.
【I'm busy! I just activated the protective array. The Tianyi Sect, the Imperial Palace, and the Prime Minister's Residence will be safe from demonic attacks. Remember to inform the Emperor. In case of emergency, the Imperial Palace can be used as a temporary shelter. I've already given the order to the Tianyi Sect that children under twelve years old can enter.】
Fang Ruotang didn't mean she didn't want to save everyone, but she felt that the demons who had just entered their world were the vanguard, meaning they were the weakest. If adults didn't dare to face them at this point, they would have no chance of survival later.
"Our sixth son is amazing! He saved so many people all by himself. I will make sure this matter is carried out properly, and it will also ease the people's fears." The Crown Prince spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child.
Compared to face-to-face verbal communication, the prince found that this kind of mental dialogue was much easier to express.
【Hahaha, right! I think I'm pretty awesome too.】 Fang Ruotang happily flopped onto the bed, her little feet dangling in the air.
Huo Shangge quickly stopped his soldiers from reporting.
"Have something to eat and a cup of tea. I'll be right back in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
"good."
Seeing Huo Zhige's urgency, the subordinate, though not understanding what he was in such a hurry for, obediently agreed, since his matter wasn't urgent; it was just a task Huo Zhige had assigned him.
"We are so fortunate to have you in our Great Yong Dynasty," Huo Zhige's voice rang out.
Fang Ruotang did something and was praised by the two men. She couldn't hide the proud expression on her face. Even though the two men couldn't see it, they could feel it and laughed along with her.
"By the way, I'm planning to go to the West Mountain camp tomorrow to draw a guardian formation. That place is huge. Based on my experience drawing formations today, I can probably only draw one in a day." Fang Ruotang said with a hint of worry.
But with the monsters attacking, local armies will definitely be the main force.
She didn't want the soldiers to return to camp in fear and unable to rest properly after shedding blood and sweat at the front lines, so she was determined to do this.
"You've worked hard. I'll go with you tomorrow." The Crown Prince felt sorry for him, but he didn't object.
As a military officer, Huo Zhige was even less likely to object, but he was very reluctant to part with her.
It's okay, take your time. If one day isn't enough, try two. Take care of your health and do what you can. This isn't just your responsibility.
【I know! But I can't slow down. I plan to set off early the day after tomorrow to explore the surrounding areas and try to expand the scope by drawing more protective formations.】
Fang Ruotang had her own plan. Firstly, doing this kind of thing would help her soul repair, and secondly, it could give some hope to people who were panicking.
"Alright, I'll go with you the day after tomorrow." The Crown Prince frowned, his mind preoccupied with unresolved matters at court; time was running out.
Huo Zhige was in a similar situation and should also go with him.
[If you're going out together, you don't need to come with me tomorrow. I'll have Shishi and Fifth Sister-in-law accompany me. You two should hurry up and settle things in Shangjing. We don't want Shangjing to be overrun by demons while we're out saving the world; that would be a joke.]
At least in Fang Ruotang's view, Beijing was their base of operations.
"Alright!" The prince paused for a moment, then agreed.
Huo Zhige thought that if the Crown Prince didn't go and it was just him alone, wouldn't that be a good thing? But when he thought of his subordinates who were waiting for him, his face fell.
[Sweetie, I'm going out the day after tomorrow, and I have a lot of things to arrange, so I probably won't be able to come with you tomorrow. If you need anything, please contact us immediately, okay?]
Fang Ruotang smiled sweetly and waved habitually, even though the two of them couldn't see her.
【I know! Just focus on what you're doing and don't worry about me. Actually, you can stay in the capital too.】 Anyway, she has Xiao Jingzi to keep her company.
Fang Ruotang's suggestion instantly made the two men tense.
She can, but they can't.
After cutting off contact, Fang Ruotang contacted three other men through the communication jade and told them about her decision. As for Ye Wuxia, she would wait until he returned home that evening and tell him in person.
The six of them have been so busy these past few days that they've barely slept an hour or two a day, all because they know that Fang Ruotang is about to leave Beijing.
