Xiao Yuanshan gestured to Ying Da, "Give it to her."
Eagle paused slightly, then brought over a black jade box, opened it, and took out a red leopard talisman from inside with both hands.
He then presented it to "Dr. Xue" with both hands.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
"Dr. Xue" laughed, took the medicine and stuffed it into his arms, "The red medicine can completely cure the poison, but this poison is very potent. Your body is almost ruined. It's a miracle you're still alive. You should enjoy your old age in peace."
He dropped the antidote and was about to turn and leave.
Xiao Yuanshan asked urgently, "Miracle Doctor! Do you know...where is she?"
"Divine Doctor Xue" didn't even turn his head, seemingly knowing who he was asking about, and said irritably:
"I am ashamed to mention a man who abandoned his young daughter."
"I am not her person either, I only acknowledge Xing'er as my grandson!"
"She's still alive, isn't she?" Xiao Yuanshan asked anxiously.
"I don't know! She's dead, that's all! Mentioning her is bad luck."
The receding voices were filled with disgust, dissatisfaction, and even anger.
Clearly, this mysterious Doctor Xue, who appeared out of nowhere, dotes on the young master, to the point that he deeply resents Xiao Yan.
Yang Jueming sighed and hurriedly forced the antidote down Xiao Yuanshan's throat. "Your Highness, you mustn't think too much right now; you need to rest and recover."
Luo Ercai also said, "The princess is a master strategist and must still be alive. Now that the young master is by your side, let's take it slow."
Xiao Yuanshan closed his eyes and said in a rough voice, "I know, but why is she even avoiding me?"
He felt uneasy. Had the princess started to become wary of him?
After a brief moment of silence, he hurriedly said, "Quickly, tell me everything about my precious son, down to the smallest detail."
Ying Da acted as a storyteller.
The other three wisely withdrew to avoid disturbing their ears later.
"Qingluan is indeed her child, hehe, hehe, now she is my daughter too!"
Marshal Xiao chuckled to himself, his face full of pride, just like the expression on "Dr. Xue's" face just now.
Eagle was unsurprised. "Your Highness, now that the young master has stepped into the limelight, are you at ease?"
After all, she's just a girl under 15 years old, and no one can feel at ease having such a large team in charge.
Xiao Yuanshan snapped out of his daze, his eyes gleaming. "My son is only of marriageable age, yet he managed to drive the Northern Barbarians back and nearly kill Xiao Kui. I can't even compare to him. Heh, I'm very relieved."
He started to gloat again, "Just you wait and see, Xiao Jiajun and Su Nanjun are both in her hands, haha, there's going to be a good show."
Twenty years, twenty years—
How could he not understand that no one would believe that a little girl like her could control two powerful armies?
They were all waiting for the two armies to be completely defeated by the bear den she led, so that they could take their place.
Hmph, he has inexplicable confidence in his daughter. Just wait and see, some people will be embarrassed.
Eagle remained deeply worried.
The prince has a fatherly filter; even if the young master farts, it smells sweet to him.
I just hope that the young master can really hold on.
"Alright, submit a memorial to His Majesty. From today onwards, the Xiao Family Army's Leopard Tally shall be completely passed on to Qingluan. I'm going to get some rest now."
He was tired.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhixing returned to Guixiong New City.
She carefully put away the red leopard tally, then waited for the emperor to issue a formal decree before spending some more time subduing the Xiao family army.
With both armies in our grasp, anything is possible.
As for how to subdue them, nothing is more suitable than war.
She gazed at the Ghostly Pass.
While the Northern Barbarians are still weak, shouldn't she take more trips to the grasslands? It would be a good opportunity to build rapport with the Xiao family army.
I wonder if Guna, guarding a lonely city, will be able to get a good night's sleep?
The next day, Xiao Yuanshan's memorial arrived before Zhao Yunqi.
"He's awake?" Zhao Yunqi turned to ask Fulu, "Has the imperial physician come to treat him?"
Fu Lu bowed. "I went there early this morning. I was summoned by the Prince's Palace. The Prince of Zhenguo's poison has indeed been cured, but his health is damaged, and he can no longer overwork himself."
Zhao Yunqi looked at the memorial, pondered for a while, and then wrote "Approved" in red ink.
The Emperor System asked, "Does Xiao Yuanshan really trust Xiao Qingluan to entrust his troops to her?"
Zhao Yunqi's expression remained calm. "Isn't this exactly what I wanted? Do you really think she can unite the two armies?"
The Emperor System scoffed, "Even if you give a brute ten years, he still won't be able to lead two armies well."
Fighting a war is different from leading and building an army. You see, a fierce general who charges into battle will always be a fierce general, but only a person who can manage and govern a large army can become a commander.
Even Xiao Yan couldn't do that back then.
If a group of soldiers is incompetent and its commander is incapable, the fighting capacity of the army will gradually decrease, eventually leading to its disintegration.
How should we manage an army?
Xiao Zhixing is also considering this issue.
She was once a leader of a team, a special forces leader in peacetime, known as the Crimson Phoenix.
Now we face new challenges.
The Southern Jiangsu Army numbered 50,000, the Xiao Family Army numbered 100,000, and there were 30,000 new recruits—such a massive force.
Honestly, there's pressure, but even more motivation.
After sitting at her desk for a long time, she finally picked up her pen and wrote three words: Cohesion!
Times and circumstances are different, and many things cannot be copied directly, but the great team of our motherland has already given her the answer.
The ideas passed down from generation to generation eventually become a powerful force of cohesion and faith.
Looking at the scene before us, the Southern Jiangsu Army has already formed a strong cohesion—they are fighting for the former Yin Dynasty and for Xiao Yan.
The cohesion of Xiao's army is based on following Xiao Yuanshan and the brand of Xiao's army.
Other families and armies are no different.
This sense of cohesion is fleeting and highly individualistic.
If the leader has a problem or the family falls into ruin and there is no successor, the team will also disappear.
