Shen Ruoxi saw all of this.
She only knew that the border was a cold and bitter place, but she didn't know that the situation was so bad that even the Luo family army stationed on the border couldn't get enough food, and her father had to sell his personal belongings to subsidize the military camp.
Fortunately, she distributed all the things given to her by the people to the military camp last time, so at least the soldiers could have a full meal.
Shen Ruoxi looked at the half piece of crispy candy in her hand, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Wasn't this something his father exchanged for a meal just to make her happy?
"Dad." Shen Ruoxi shook the reins, drove the horse forward and called out.
Seeing his precious daughter and Pei Yaozhou appear here at the same time, General Luo was also surprised: "Why are you here? This is a battlefield, how dangerous!"
Shen Ruoxi smiled and said, "With daddy here, I'm not afraid."
Hearing his precious daughter say this, Luo Xuan immediately became proud and slapped his armor on his chest. "Of course, don't you see who your father is? As long as you tell me your father's name, no one within a hundred miles will dare to invade!"
Having said that, Luo Xuan thought of what had just happened and sighed again.
"But what's the use? I can't do anything about these scoundrels who just rob and run. I've let down the people of Beiyang Village who placed their trust in me."
The captain beside him sneered, "This is the umpteenth time. It's all in vain, wasting so much manpower and resources. I think we shouldn't even come. We can't catch up with the barbarian cavalry. We'd better rest up and give them a fight!"
"Captain Xu, you are confused!" General Luo shouted angrily.
"Isn't what my subordinates said right? We haven't succeeded in sieging them once, so why waste our energy on this kind of thing?"
"It's not just me, even the brothers below are suspicious. Are you doing this time and again just to make trouble for no reason and to show off?"
General Luo looked at the men he brought with him, and saw that all of his brothers had pale faces and kept their heads down in silence, which shocked him.
"You don't believe what I say either? Do you think I brought you here to torment you and do it on purpose for others to see?" Luo Xuan asked in a calm voice.
No one answered for a long while.
At this moment, Shen Ruoxi's voice broke the silence at the moment.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you don't come today?"
Captain Xu twitched his lip. "What consequences could there be? The worst that could happen is this. Could it be that the princess, who has never been on a battlefield, has any insightful opinions?"
When General Luo saw Captain Xu speaking rudely to his precious daughter, he was afraid that his daughter would suffer, so he was about to step forward to protect her, but was stopped by Pei Yaozhou.
"Captain Xu has a very vicious tongue. Ruoxi can't win an argument with him. Your Majesty, please don't stop me!" Luo Xuan said as he was about to push Pei Yaozhou away.
But Pei Yaozhou spoke again: "I believe Ruoxi."
General Luo's desire to win was immediately aroused!
Could it be that this yellow-haired brat thinks he understands Ruoxi better than his father?
While thinking, Shen Ruoxi spoke again, her tone teasing: "Captain Xu has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, but he doesn't know as much as me, who has never been on the battlefield. I am also very surprised."
Captain Xu jumped up immediately: "What do you mean by that?"
Shen Ruoxi said calmly, "The reason the Barbarian Cavalry left after looting is because they were sure that my father would bring people to surround us after hearing the news. If we confronted him head-on, we would definitely lose."
"Think about it carefully. If they find out that my father won't bring anyone with him, what will they do?"
When Shen Ruoxi said this, anyone with a bit of common sense would understand what she meant.
A little girl from Beiyang Village raised her hand and replied, "If the barbarians knew General Luo wouldn't be coming, they would become even more rampant, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities. Our village would be destroyed!"
Shen Ruoxi smiled and patted the girl's head, then looked at Captain Xu: "A child understands this truth, but you don't understand it?"
Captain Xu was actually rendered speechless by Shen Ruoxi's words.
Luo Xuan's eyes filled with tears: "Ruoxi is right, this is exactly what Dad meant!"
"Ruoxi, hearing you say this makes me feel at ease. Even if I'm gone, I believe you can still lead the Luo family army to defend the Great Yan Kingdom!"
Shen Ruoxi smiled and looked at Luo Xuan: "Dad, as long as I am here, you will definitely live a long life."
Captain Xu was so angry when he saw this scene that his teeth were itching.
He rolled his eyes and spoke again, "Everyone says nice things, but the reality is that our brothers are starving and underfed. How can they possibly have the energy to travel back and forth like this?"
"So, according to you, knowing that the villagers of Beiyang Village are in danger, you can just watch them die without helping them?" Shen Ruoxi asked back.
Captain Xu choked and said, "Chen Ruoxi, you are just making up your mind. If you have the ability, you can come up with a permanent solution so that the barbarian cavalry will never dare to invade Beiyang Village again."
“What if I say I have a way?” Shen Ruoxi raised her eyebrows.
Captain Xu laughed as if he had heard a joke. "A problem that has troubled Beiyang Village and even the Great Yan Kingdom for hundreds of years, you little girl, can solve it?"
"Okay, if you can really do it, I will obey you from now on! But if you can't, then stay in your boudoir and embroider, and don't interfere in military affairs from now on!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Shen Ruoxi agreed immediately without hesitation.
…
Before Shen Ruoxi returned to the camp with her father, the news of her bet with Captain Xu had already spread throughout the camp and even the city, becoming a hot topic of conversation among soldiers and civilians.
Some people even started a bet on who would win this round between Shen Ruoxi and Captain Xu.
Although the people in the city were not rich, they took out what they could afford and joined the gambling game.
Doctor Zhou also heard about this incident when he came back from Linzhen Medicine. Seeing that everyone was going to the side where Captain Xu was betting on winning, he was so angry that his face turned red.
He randomly pulled a villager over and said, "Listen to me and choose the princess. You will definitely win!"
The villagers glanced at Doctor Zhou warily. "The princess is a good person, but she has no experience leading troops in battle. How can she compare to Captain Xu? Doctor Zhou, are you trying to drag me down with you so you can get a bigger share?"
Doctor Zhou laughed angrily: "I'm helping you, just wait!"
After saying that, Doctor Zhou went to bet on the side that Shen Ruoxi would win, and put down a piece of silver.
The piece of silver lying alone on the table looked quite funny.
Everyone laughed when they saw this: "Doctor Zhou, even if you love to do good things, you can't do it this way!"
Doctor Zhou gritted his teeth, and as if to prove himself, he reluctantly placed another piece of silver on the table.
"Okay, if you don't listen to me, don't blame me for not taking you with me when I get rich!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
"Doctor Zhou, you're such a nice person!"
