Song Sanniang and Gong Yichen were in the same room, not disturbing each other. Suddenly, a burst of dense explosions was heard in the distance. Song Sanniang knew that the White Tiger Kingdom had fallen into a trap and was probably just eliminating the enemies who were unwilling to surrender.
Gong Yichen gradually tightened his grip on the military book, hoping that everything would go well for his sister and that she would return safely.
Both of them were staring at the entrance of the tent in a daze. When Gongyi Qingjun entered, this was the scene he saw.
When Song Sanniang saw that the person coming was Gongyi Qingjun, a happy smile appeared on her face. She had just watched the live broadcast directly from 108 and knew that the enemy had not even touched Gongyi Qingjun, but when she saw her, she couldn't help but be happy for her safe return.
"Your Highness, what is the situation?"
Gong Yichen, who was standing by, carefully looked the elder sister up and down, and felt relieved after confirming that she was not injured. Judging from the elder sister's expression, he estimated that the White Tiger Kingdom's assault team had been captured.
He did not do what Song Sanniang did and directly pulled Gongyi Qingjun up and down to check if she was injured. He and his sister had to keep their distance, as being too close would have a bad influence on them.
Gong Yichen's eyes darkened as he thought of some rumors he had heard in the army before.
Gongyi Qingjun waved her hands to indicate that she was not injured, dodged Song Sanniang's hands that were trying to check her body, warned them with her eyes, and told them the situation at the scene in detail.
At the end, she subconsciously analyzed the possible actions of the remaining troops of the White Tiger Kingdom.
"Shu Xiangming led the raid on Lixi City this time. He brought most of the elite troops from the White Tiger Nation with him. Their camp must be empty now. This is a good time to attack, but..."
The more Gongyi Qingjun spoke, the more excited she became. However, at the very end, she seemed to be thinking about something and stopped.
"It's a pity that the gunpowder we prepared earlier has been almost used up. Otherwise, we would have rushed over now and caught him off guard."
After listening to her entire speech, Song Sanniang said softly, "Why not?"
The two men looked into each other's eyes, and for a moment, the tent fell into silence.
Soon, Gongyi Qingjun broke the slightly solemn atmosphere, and a wild smile appeared on her face.
Yes, before there was gunpowder, they were at a disadvantage, but she was able to defeat the White Tiger Kingdom. Now they are just back to their original equipment. Besides, Shu Xiangming is in her hands now. The White Tiger Kingdom’s army is leaderless, but she actually retreated.
Gong Yichen originally wanted to step forward to ease the atmosphere between the two, but now it seems that he is no longer needed.
"Sanniang is right. I am the one who has gone crazy." Gongyi Qingjun's mind was working rapidly. Within a few breaths, he had thought of the next plan in his mind.
He hurriedly thanked Song Sanniang, told Gong Yichen to listen to Song Sanniang, and then hurriedly left the tent.
When Song Sanniang heard that she had entrusted someone to her again, she could only watch the heroine disappear before her eyes.
Song Sanniang: Erkang’s hand.
Soon they heard the sound of horse hooves gradually disappearing, and Gong Yi Qingjun set off with his men. At this moment, Song Sanniang and Gong Yichen stood at the door of the tent, watching Gong Yi Qingjun go away.
After she could no longer see anyone, Song Sanniang put down the tent in her hand.
Gong Yichen saw Song Sanniang frowning and guessed that she was probably worried about her sister. He moved his lips and finally spoke a word of comfort.
"The Azure Dragon Nation was weak before. When we first arrived at Lixi City, the White Tiger Nation had already entered Lixi City. If it had been just a little bit, our Azure Dragon Nation would not be in the situation it is now."
"It was His Highness who led us to defeat the strong with the weak, and drove the White Tiger Nation out of the city. Given the White Tiger Nation's current situation, I believe His Highness will definitely return victorious."
As Gong Yichen spoke, two blushes appeared on his face.
"I also believe in Your Highness." After all, she will be the empress who unifies the continent in the future.
"It's late at night and you're not feeling well. Go in and rest. Just call me if you need anything." Song Sanniang persuaded him to rest, while she sat on a stool and kept watch.
Gong Yichen was lying on the bed, wrapped tightly in his clothes, leaving only half of his face exposed. His back was facing the screen, but his eyes were fixed on the projection on the wall.
Song Sanniang lowered her head. She was watching Gongyi Qingjun's live broadcast with 108. The White Tiger Kingdom was stationed 10 miles away from Lixi City, and they still had to hurry on their way.
108 is now inactive. It finds that the host has no intention of doing the fourth mission. However, the male protagonist is right in front of it, so maybe the host has his own plans.
Song Sanniang did have her own plans. In the previous world, she married young and then had children and raised them.
The conditions in this world are so good, it's just right for her to have fun.
Besides, the heroine needs her for the great cause of unification, so let's put aside our feelings...
Gongyi Qingjun withdrew her troops back to the camp the next night, and she also captured the second prince of the White Tiger Kingdom.
Song Sanniang took a few glances at the peacock tied to the pillar, with its mouth blocked and still restless, and quickly lost interest and looked away.
What she didn't notice was that Gong Yichen's heart tightened when he saw her 'staring at' Gongsun Wenyan seriously, but he immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her quickly look away.
Followed Gongyi Qingjun into the tent.
All the female generals below were beaming with joy.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness."
Song Sanniang acted as a mascot and listened to them discuss what to do next, whether to continue to fight against the White Tiger Kingdom and recover the three lost cities, or to rest for a few days and wait for instructions from the capital.
For this reason, they split into two factions.
The conservatives felt that the victory was hard-won, so it would be better to rest and wait for the Queen's will.
The other group felt that their momentum had weakened after the first one and was finally exhausted. Now that their morale was high, it was the right time to fight back.
Both sides have their own reasons.
Although Gongyi Qingjun tried his best to hide his joy at this victory, he couldn't help showing it. However, when he heard the quarreling below, his good mood faded.
"Alright! We're going to fight back, but not now."
"Our army is running low on food and there's no news of replenishment. If we rashly send troops to attack the city, we'll be dead if the food doesn't arrive." After Gongyi Qingjun finished speaking, several female generals who went with her to raid the city couldn't help but complain.
"Damn it, it's all the fault of those bastards from the White Tiger Nation who burned the food and fodder. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry about this! Sigh." "Yeah, they'd rather burn it than let us get it."...
"So now we can only wait until we have enough food and supplies before we can start the next counterattack."
After everyone left, only Song Sanniang, Gong Yichen and the other two were left in the tent. Gong Yichen said solemnly, "Your Highness, we cannot rely solely on the food and fodder being sent from the rear."
The two siblings looked at each other, and Gongyi Qingjun understood her brother's doubts because she thought the same way.
"I understand. I plan to arrange for trustworthy people to go to the southern counties to purchase food."
The several counties in the south are probably blessed with unique natural conditions. Since ancient times, they have been known as the granary of Qinglong Kingdom. It is only there that food and fodder can be collected for the army.
