Ning Xu, who was patrolling around the military camp, was soon surrounded by troops dispatched by Ning Che.
Ning Xi'er explained in detail the arrangements Xie Zhun had made upon her return to the desolate realm...
Even though the Ning family are the Ning family, with Ning Xi'er around, whether they acknowledge it or not, they are all in the same boat.
Even if Ning Che and Ning Xu didn't want to go down this path...
But this was no longer a choice they could make.
Ning Che stood up and paced back and forth inside the tent...
In terms of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, Ning Xu's beliefs were not as strong as his elder brother Ning Che's...
They risked their lives here, only to have the imperial court cut off their food supplies...
The state of Jin is in turmoil. Knowing full well that recalling the elder brother to the capital or replacing him with a different general at this juncture would only result in surrendering a valuable city...
Your Highness, I will spare no effort.
His ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion; no one could shake his position. Yet, he still regarded the lives of the border people and soldiers as worthless...
He, Ning Xu, and the lives of the thousands of soldiers around him, could give up, as long as they died a worthy death!
But it's not in the hands of our own people!
Still in such a frustrating way!
Since the ruler does not cherish his subjects, then they will support a ruler who is worthy of their protection!
They supported the army and loved the people, but in the end, all they wanted was for the people of the world to live in peace and prosperity!
Crown Prince...
As expected, this post is a testament to the power of gratitude; I can't express my thanks enough...
Moreover, he learned from his sister that if the current ruler and his son hadn't taken action, the throne would have belonged to Prince Cheng, Xie Zhun!
He is the rightful heir!
Thinking these things through was not difficult for Ning Che.
Ning Xi'er is skilled at flattery and manipulative speech...
But Ning Xi'er didn't want her older brother to constantly feel guilty and unable to cope with himself in the future...
Holding her second brother's hand, she waited patiently to the side.
"General..."
A soldier's report brought Ning Che back to his senses.
Ning Che walked to the tent entrance and asked loudly, "What is it?"
The soldier reported that villagers had gathered at the entrance to the military camp, and the village chief was trying to persuade them to return...
Ning Che lowered his head, sighed, and walked back.
Ning Che knew perfectly well why the villagers had gathered.
A few days ago, the villagers were fleeing the famine, but Ning Xi'er stopped them and left them several days' worth of food...
Seeing that there was no food left in the house and the villagers had disappeared, the village chief did not want to put pressure on Ning Che.
No matter which path the elder brother chooses, at least these refugees can be settled down for now.
Ning Xi'er did not make the decision on her own, but waited for her elder brother's arrangement.
"Let's go, let's talk to the village chief first..."
Thinking of the villagers, Ning Che did not hesitate for long.
Ning Che personally summoned the village chief.
The villagers worried that the village chief's appeal wasn't urgent enough and wanted to join in...
However, since it was a military camp, the remaining villagers were kept outside, but they did not disperse.
Ning Che directly told the village chief his suggestion that those who had fled the famine should go to Pingyuan and eventually be settled in the wasteland to work.
The village chief's face darkened. Wherever they fled famine, they went...
However, deep down, he still harbored a sliver of hope...
Ning Che personally helped the village chief to sit down and comforted him, "My sister went to collect grain a few days ago..."
The village chief's eyes lit up instantly.
"This grain should be enough for you to reach Pingyuan County..."
In addition, my sister has already managed to contact Pingyuan, and someone there will help you settle in...
Although this grain is enough for you to live on in the village for a while, but...
It's really not safe...
Although Ning Che didn't say it explicitly in the last sentence, the village chief knew that it was truly remarkable that General Ning was willing to be so frank...
Moreover, they were preparing food and arranging accommodations...
What else are they worried about?
The village chief stood up, preparing to kneel before Ning Che and Ning Xi'er...
Ning Xi'er and Ning Che rushed forward at the same time and helped the old village chief up.
The village chief silently shed tears, "I know I've caused General Ning and Miss Ning so much trouble, but saying this is all too easy..."
What's truly rare are those who think of us and make arrangements for us...
We appreciate your kindness and thank you all for your hard work...
The imperial court is too far away from us. But because of you all, we will return as soon as the war is over...
Even if it means guarding the border for the rest of our lives, we will always remember the court's kindness and have no regrets!
Ning Che smiled and exchanged a glance with Ning Xu, but his face and mouth were filled with bitterness.
"Be quick!"
Ning Che did not want to waste time. Ning Xi'er had been gone for three days, and the Jin Kingdom was making frequent moves, with villagers gathering outside the camp...
Ning Che didn't want anything to go wrong, so he asked Ning Xu to accompany Ning Xi'er to the village to make arrangements for her departure.
Ning Xu immediately went out and selected twenty soldiers.
Before leaving the tent, the village chief insisted on kneeling down, and Ning Che couldn't stop him...
"I represent not only myself, but also the entire village!"
After we leave, we hope the general and his soldiers will take care of themselves. We await news of your triumphant return!
Ning Che cherished it dearly, "Definitely!"
