Hot and sour rice noodles and ham sausage
Zhang Fuyao.
Zhang Fuyao was dressed in black armor, with a slender figure and a heroic bearing.
Her features were beautiful and striking, with fiery red lips.
She rode her horse swiftly to the front of the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fuyao jumped off his horse, beaming with joy, and shouted:
"Father, the Sixth Prince!"
Marshal Zhang grinned from ear to ear: "You silly boy, why aren't you staying in the capital? What are you doing in Xia Kingdom?"
Zhang Fuyao said with a smile, "Father, I missed you!"
Marshal Zhang feigned anger: "I think you're thinking about the Sixth Prince, not me, aren't you?"
Zhang Fuyao said gracefully, "I missed the Sixth Prince and you, so I came here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fuyao's entourage dismounted one after another and bowed to Long Qian, Marshal Zhang, and the others.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fuyao suddenly saw Xu Zhixun next to Long Qian.
When Zhang Fuyao saw that Xu Zhixun was very beautiful, she immediately felt jealous.
Then, Zhang Fuyao looked at Xu Zhixun and spoke arrogantly:
"Who are you? Why don't you greet me when you see me?"
Xu Zhixun thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "I am the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. A fairy does not need to pay respects to mortals."
"How dare you!" Zhang Fuyao was furious and slapped Xu Zhixun hard across the face!
Caught off guard, Xu Zhixun screamed as her head was knocked to the side!
Upon seeing this, Xu Zhixun's two personal guards changed their expressions drastically and immediately protected Xu Zhixun behind them.
"Zhang Fuyao, are you crazy?" Long Qian was furious and slapped Zhang Fuyao hard across the face!
Zhang Fuyao let out a wail, and a handprint immediately appeared on her face.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Zhang Fuyao burst into tears, "Sixth Prince, why did you hit me?"
Long Qian was furious: "You hit Xu Zhixun first, why did you hit her?"
Zhang Fuyao cried and said, "She didn't greet me and even lied that she was the 'Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden'!"
"Oh dear, Miss, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Eunuch Yang hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"This Miss Xu is truly the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!"
“Yes, Second Miss, you’ve just arrived at the military camp, so you may not have heard of the ‘Time-Space Supermarket’ yet…” Yu Zan quickly smoothed things over.
"What time-space supermarket? What the hell is that?" Zhang Fuyao didn't listen to what Yu Zan was saying and loudly gave the order.
"Guards, drag Xu Zhixun away and beat her to death with sticks!"
Xu Zhixun: "..."
Upon seeing this, Long Qian was both shocked and furious, and immediately told Zhang Fuyao that Xu Zhixun was indeed a fairy.
However, Zhang Fuyao did not believe Long Qian's words.
She believed that Long Qian was bewitched by Xu Zhixun's beauty, which was why he was talking nonsense!
Therefore, Zhang Fuyao angrily complained to Marshal Zhang:
"Father, you must do justice for your daughter! You must execute Xu Zhixun!"
Marshal Zhang was extremely annoyed and hissed, "Stop messing around!"
"Miss Xu is indeed a fairy from heaven, you should apologize to her immediately!"
"No! I won't apologize, I hate Xu Zhixun!" Zhang Fuyao shouted.
Zhang Fuyao is Marshal Zhang's eldest daughter. She was spoiled by Marshal Zhang since childhood, so she is very willful and refuses to apologize to Xu Zhixun.
Marshal Zhang was furious with Zhang Fuyao, his incompetent teammate.
Marshal Zhang believed that regardless of whether Xu Zhixun was a real fairy or not, she possessed plenty of food and water, which could save the lives of 30,000 soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom.
Furthermore, Xu Zhixun is clearly here to help Long Qian seize the throne.
If Long Qian succeeds in seizing the throne, he will become the emperor, and Zhang Fuyao will likely become the empress.
However, Zhang Fuyao was too foolish and actually hit Xu Zhixun!
Thinking of this, Marshal Zhang was extremely disappointed and immediately rebuked Zhang Fuyao:
"Insolence! If you don't apologize to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, I will punish you according to family law and give you ten lashes!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fuyao burst into tears and had no choice but to apologize to Xu Zhixun:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you."
Xu Zhixun touched her swollen cheek and said angrily:
"You hit me hard, I don't accept your apology!"
"Oh dear, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!" Eunuch Yang quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Since you are a fairy from heaven, please be magnanimous and forgive the second young lady!"
Upon hearing this, everyone echoed his sentiments and begged Xu Zhixun to forgive Zhang Fuyao.
However, Xu Zhixun still refused to forgive Zhang Fuyao.
Long Qian pondered for a moment, then said softly to Xu Zhixun, "Don't be angry, I'll give you a peace buckle necklace!"
After saying that, he took a black braided rope necklace off his neck.
The pendant on the necklace is a Hetian jade safety buckle.
On the left side of the safety buckle, a pure silver carved dragon is coiled.
"This necklace is called 'Where there is a dragon, there is magic'."
Long Qian hung the safety buckle necklace around Xu Zhixun's neck.
"This necklace has been blessed by a high-ranking monk at Baima Temple. It is said to ward off disasters and bring good fortune."
Xu Zhixun was startled, and subconsciously looked down to examine the necklace closely—
The safety buckle is pure white and flawless, with a warm and smooth texture; one look and you know it is of considerable value.
"Sixth Prince, you can't give the safety buckle necklace to Xu Zhixun!" Zhang Fuyao was so angry she almost vomited blood.
"Because that necklace was a talisman given to you by the Empress!"
Long Qian said coldly, "If you hadn't attacked the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, I wouldn't have used the safety buckle necklace to apologize to her."
Xu Zhixun nodded in agreement: "That's right, Second Miss, this is all your fault!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fuyao burst into tears and made a scene, disagreeing with Long Qian giving the safety buckle necklace to Xu Zhixun.
However, Long Qian ignored Zhang Fuyao and instead looked at Xu Zhixun:
"Zhi Xun, let me show you around the military camp!"
Xu Zhixun finally calmed down and said with a smile, "Okay!"
So, the group began to tour the Dragon Army's camp.
There were many tents in the military camp, and red flags were flying everywhere.
Because the red flag is the national flag and military flag of the Dragon Kingdom.
Xu Zhixun followed Long Qian and visited one tent after another.
Half an hour later, the group entered a huge tent.
In the very center of the tent, rows of black armor and shields were displayed.
On the left and right sides of the armor, there were many weapon racks.
On the weapon rack, there were all sorts of ancient weapons—
Knife, spear, gun, halberd, sword, long staff, axe, meteor hammer...
"Zhi Xun, this is the armory of the Dragon Army," Long Qian said with a smile as he introduced it to Xu Zhi Xun.
"Oh, I see." Xu Zhixun walked to the weapon rack on the right and carefully examined the row of weapons.
"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, what weapons do the heavenly soldiers and generals use in your Heavenly Court?" Marshal Zhang asked curiously.
Xu Zhixun thought for a moment, then smiled slightly:
"The weapons of our heavenly soldiers and generals are far more advanced than those of mortals."
"Is that so? Please tell me in detail, Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, what exactly are the weapons in the Heavenly Court?"
Marshal Zhang's resolute face revealed a respectful expression.
Xu Zhixun looked at Long Qian: "Long Qian, is the highest-ranking general in the Dragon Kingdom's army Marshal Zhang?"
Long Qian smiled and said, "Yes, so you can tell Marshal Zhang whatever you're thinking."
Xu Zhixun thought for a moment and said to Marshal Zhang:
"The weapons in our Heavenly Court are called 'weapons'."
"Weapons come in many types, including pistols, fighter jets, cannons, tanks, atomic bombs, and so on."
Marshal Zhang was skeptical and asked Xu Zhixun to explain in detail.
So, Xu Zhixun talked to Marshal Zhang, Long Qian, and others about modern weapons.
Everyone was stunned and half-believing.
Long Qian showed great interest in modern weapons:
"Zhi Xun, could you sell me some of the weapons from the Heavenly Court?"
Xu Zhixun said awkwardly, "Our Heavenly Court has very strict regulations on the management of weapons."
"Ordinary gods have no chance to come into contact with powerful weapons."
"I can sell you some weapons, but they're all ordinary weapons."
"However, even the most ordinary weapons in Heaven are still more powerful than those in the mortal world."
"Really? That's great!" Long Qian laughed loudly. "What kind of weapon do you want to sell me?"
“I…” Xu Zhixun pondered deeply.
"I can sell you pepper spray and a bulletproof vest. These two items are very effective for self-defense."
"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, please tell us, what is pepper spray? What is a bulletproof vest?" Marshal Zhang asked impatiently.
So, Xu Zhixun explained the meaning of pepper spray and bulletproof vest to everyone.
Then, a guard came to inform Long Qian that it was time for dinner.
Therefore, the group left the armory and went to another tent to have their dinner.
Currently, the Xia Kingdom is suffering from a severe drought.
However, since Xu Zhixun was a "fairy," Marshal Zhang specially prepared a very sumptuous dinner for her.
A bowl of hot and sour noodles, and a sausage.
Xu Zhixun was both amused and exasperated: "Marshal Zhang, this... this is the hot and sour noodles and sausages I sold to the Sixth Prince, right?"
Marshal Zhang looked ashamed.
"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, I am truly sorry, but this meal is the best I could find!"
Long Qian sighed, "Zhi Xun, there has been a drought recently, and more than 600 soldiers in the Long Army have already starved to death!"
"Tonight's dinner is rather meager, with neither delicacies nor rich food."
"However, I assure you, once the war is over and we return to Dragon Kingdom, I will treat you to the most luxurious dinner ever!"
Xu Zhixun was both amused and exasperated: "Hey, you're making a really big promise!"
"Alright then, I'll be waiting for you to treat me to some delicacies."
And so, the group chatted and ate dinner.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Zhixun noticed that among everyone, only she and Long Qian each had a sausage in their hot and sour noodles.
Marshal Zhang, General Zhao, and others only had hot and sour noodles in their bowls, no ham sausages!
Zhang Fuyao also noticed this, so she protested loudly:
"Dad, I want to eat a sausage!"
"Why does Xu Zhixun have sausages, but I don't?"
Marshal Zhang's face darkened: "Don't be ridiculous. Many soldiers don't have any food to eat. We're already lucky to be able to have hot and sour noodles!"
"Yes, Second Miss, please bear with it!" Eunuch Yang stood behind Long Qian and earnestly advised Zhang Fuyao.
