Chapter 36 Taking Charge of the Military Flag



After settling everyone in, Xiao Zhixing was finally able to catch his breath.

Once inside her simple tent, Bai Mei helped her quickly wipe herself down, and she turned over and fell asleep instantly, entering a deep sleep.

Perhaps knowing she was tired, even the comments in the live stream became softer, even though they knew she couldn't see them.

[Sobbing, my heart aches. The princess is only 15 years old. Only at this moment do we realize that she is still a little girl who hasn't reached adulthood! The days to come... sigh, just thinking about it...]

[That's how all big shots are; you won't even notice their age or appearance, you'll only be awestruck by their power.]

[Aaaaaah, but I still have to swoon! The princess is so handsome, the princess is so beautiful! I'd bang my head against a wall for her!!]

[Digging a net from the ground, yet another classic example. Sigh, I'm tired of studying. It's been twenty years since I graduated, and I never thought I'd have to review all the idioms and allusions again!]

[Hey, hey, didn't you guys notice? That scoundrel Qi has promoted the princess to general! It's a historic moment!]

[Hmph, of course we saw it, but no official imperial decree has been issued. We'll pay our respects to General Yuansheng later!]

[Speaking of which, Xiao Long is already dead. What exactly does the princess plan to do next? I'm so confused.]

[The princess plans ten steps ahead for every one she takes; we mortals should just sit back and wait for her scheme.]

Xiao Zhixing only slept for half an hour.

She pretended to be unconscious, and her consciousness entered the 186-point system space, where she saw Xiao Long's corpse lying inside again.

Several orbs of white light appeared and began to swirl around Xiao Long. The curious subsystem, observing quietly, was shocked:

"Holy crap, he...he's alive?!"

The head on the neck was clearly severed, but there was still a pulse.

Xiao Zhixing snorted, "The blood is just circulating slowly, but the person is indeed dead."

His soul was shattered by Bai Feng; how could he possibly survive?

She needs his blood to keep circulating so that his body remains alive, and she can arrange his death however she wants in the future.

Then, searching through the secret medicines left by Xiao Yan, and based on Xiao Long's memory, they found a bottle of "White Dream," a secret medicine from the Northern Barbarians that had been lost. They poured it directly on Xiao Long's body, and the medicine miraculously seeped into his skin.

Tsk, we should make proper arrangements for this poisoner; we can't let him go to waste.

The 186-point system watched the expert's actions without daring to utter a sound. The expert must be plotting against someone again. To be able to make such thorough use of a corpse, he is indeed a ruthless person.

"Princess!"

Upon hearing the shout, Xiao Zhixing regained consciousness and sat up.

Bai Mei and Mo Mei rushed in and knelt down in front of the bed with a thud, their faces pale.

Bai Mei panicked and cried out, “Princess, the flames of war have been ignited in the northwest, the northern border is in turmoil, and there’s more, there’s urgent news from the south: the Prince is seriously injured and unconscious, his life hangs in the balance!”

Xiao Zhixing took a deep breath, and his mind immediately cleared.

He gestured to them to help him change his clothes and style his hair.

"The one defending the northern frontier is the renowned General Mu Liangyi. Xining Pass is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the surrounding area is full of steep mountains and dangerous peaks. We are not afraid. I believe he can hold them off. Once the news of the great victory over the northern barbarians at Guixiong Pass reaches the north, the northern frontier will have to reconsider."

She remained silent for a few moments, quickly put on her armor, walked out of the inner room, and looked at Xiao Bei, who was already waiting anxiously in the outer room.

"Uncle Bei, pass on my order: raise the military flag! From this day forward, the flag of the Xiao family army will temporarily be under the command of this princess!"

The north wind howled, and spring was sure to come. Suddenly, a unified, thunderous shout rang out outside the tent: "Greetings, Young General!!"

Both the Imperial Guards and the Southern Jiangsu Army followed the Prince's Palace guards in paying their respects.

Xiao's army is like the Southern Jiangsu army of the Yin Dynasty.

He was the absolute pillar of the Great Prosperous Dynasty, and his reputation was illustrious.

As long as the Xiao family's military flag stands, the Xiao family's military spirit will live on forever.

At this critical moment, surrounded by enemies on all sides, Xiao Yuanshan fell.

The Xiao family army must have someone in charge, and Xiao Zhixing, Xiao Yuanshan's only daughter and a rising star general who defeated the Northern Barbarians, is the best candidate.

Even if Zhao Yunqi came, he would have to agree to her arrangements. At this time, it was essential to stabilize the morale of the entire army.

Even if most people may not be so convinced of her, this banner must be there.

【Ahhhh, Young General! Greetings, Young General!!】

[Aww! Young General! Our one and only Young General in four thousand years! We pay our respects to the Young General!]

"Young General, will you marry me? I will die with regrets if I cannot marry you!"

[Finally, he's a young general! Ahhh, I'm going to set off some space cannon fireworks!!]

"Young General, I want to be your wife!"

Bai Su: "Please, don't be so crazy, the princess is a woman!"

Shut up, you're just a tool!

"Details?" Xiao Zhixing asked Xiao Bei for more information.

"The Southern Barbarians are cunning. They set fire to the mountain, forcing the prince and his men to jump into the river, while the people who were supposed to go to the left flank to provide support and coordination were nowhere to be found."

"The prince was attacked again in the water and almost lost his life, but his brothers risked their lives to save him."

"We just discovered that the prince has been poisoned and is unconscious."

With tears welling in his eyes, Xiao Bei gritted his teeth and replied, "The poison is some kind of lost art from the Southern Barbarians. Fortunately, Physician Yang was by the Prince's side and found a way to stop the spread of the poison. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

No further details are available.

"The deputy general is Feng Lizhen?" Xiao Zhixing pondered.

"Yes, he is the second son of the Feng family."

This is interesting. The two sides were related by marriage before, so it was understandable that Xiao Yuanshan appointed the other party as his deputy general.

She didn't believe Feng Lizhen was innocent, especially since the marriage had just been dissolved.

During the Great Sheng Dynasty, the commander-in-chief held the greatest power during wartime, followed by the deputy commanders, who also wielded considerable power.
