Seeing the Luo family army coming, the villagers of Beiyang Village reluctantly let Shen Ruoxi go.
The village chief wiped the tears from his face excitedly and stepped forward to kneel down and pay homage to General Luo.
"Thank you, General Luo and the Princess, for everything you have done for Beiyang Village. On behalf of the villagers of Beiyang Village, I bow to you in gratitude."
Luo Xuan immediately stepped forward and helped the village chief up: "There's no need to thank me. This was not my idea. To be honest, even I don't know how my precious daughter managed all this."
"Princess, how did you do it?" Captain Xu hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward with a red face to ask, his voice no longer as full of energy as before.
Shen Ruoxi smiled and said, "Captain Xu, are you willing to accept defeat?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Xu's face flushed all the way to his neck. He held on to his last bit of stubbornness and said, "Before I recognize your victory, I have to make sure you didn't cheat."
Shen Ruoxi nodded: "Captain Xu is a strict person, no wonder you are so sharp-tongued, my father is still willing to keep you by his side."
Captain Xu glanced at Luo Xuan and muttered quietly, "That's because I'm a combat genius!"
"You're a genius at fighting, why don't you guess how I drove away the barbarian cavalry?" Shen Ruoxi raised an eyebrow.
Captain Xu was so anxious that his head was smoking. He was really curious about how Shen Ruoxi solved this problem that had troubled him for years in just a few days.
"If you are willing to tell me, I will give you the title of combat genius, how about it?" Captain Xu gritted his teeth.
The smile on Shen Ruoxi's lips deepened: "That's not necessary. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Just Dad and Captain Xu, you two come with me."
Captain Xu looked suspicious: "So mysterious?"
Having said that, he still couldn't control his feet and followed.
Shen Ruoxi led the two of them towards a solitary mountain at the border of Beiyang Village and the barbarian territory. Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, Captain Xu narrowed his eyes.
Facing the wind and sand, Captain Xu still recognized the familiar figures on the top of the mountain.
"It's the Luo Family Army! Great, General Luo, you kept saying you wouldn't abandon the lives of the people and soldiers for your daughter, but in the end, you still cheated!!"
Luo Xuan was also puzzled. "That's impossible! Any mobilization of the Luo Family Army requires a tiger talisman, which I personally review and affix my private seal to. I don't remember ever agreeing to such a mobilization!"
Captain Xu was half-believing and half-doubting: "General Luo, are you and your daughter trying to team up to trick me?"
After saying that, he shouted towards the top of the mountain: "The Luo family soldiers on the mountain, listen to my orders, get down the mountain immediately, otherwise you will be punished by military law!"
Captain Xu shouted three times, but no one obeyed his order and they still stood on the top of the mountain.
"Are they rebelling?" Captain Xu said angrily.
Shen Ruoxi still smiled faintly: "Captain Xu, don't worry, just follow me and keep going forward."
Captain Xu pointed at Shen Ruoxi: "I will trust you one last time!"
When they reached a narrow path some distance from the hillside, Shen Ruoxi stopped and said, "This is it."
She raised a red flag in her hand, and at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the top of a mountain not far away.
"What is that thing? What is the Luo family army doing up there?" Captain Xu looked towards the top of the mountain vigilantly.
Countless pieces of rubble rolled down from the top of the mountain, blocking the road ahead of them.
Captain Xu stared at the scene in amazement. "So, you used rolling stones to repel the barbarian cavalry?"
Shen Ruoxi nodded: "Yes, but not entirely. Captain Xu, please follow me up the mountain to find out."
Captain Xu's eyes when he looked at Shen Ruoxi had changed at this moment.
It is indeed a good idea to stop the barbarian cavalry on the narrow path. It is not easy for a little girl to think of this.
At this moment, Shen Ruoxi in his eyes was no longer the young lady who knew nothing but loved to give orders as he had imagined. Instead, he regarded her as a teachable junior.
"Princess, your method is indeed sound, but there is still a problem. If the barbarian cavalry makes a feint to the east and attacks in the west, the Luo family army may lose the entire battle because you have taken away this army."
"Captain Xu, didn't my father tell me that I don't have the tiger talisman or my father's personal seal? I can't take anyone from the Luo family army with me, so the problem you're talking about doesn't exist at all."
Shen Ruoxi spoke in a clear voice.
As the words fell, everyone had just reached the top of the mountain where the rolling stone fell.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." General Luo almost let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered his mouth.
There were no Luo Family Army on this hilltop. There were only a dozen or so scarecrows wearing Luo Family Army uniforms and several villagers from Beiyang Village led by Pei Yaozhou.
Captain Xu rushed directly to the scarecrows and pinched them hard with his hands before he was sure that these were not real people, let alone the Luo family army.
"They're actually using the wind and sand to create the illusion that the Luo family army is guarding the mountaintop. So that's how it is! It's actually like this!!"
Captain Xu was surprised and astonished. For so many years, he had racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution, but Shen Ruoxi thought of it!
"Your Majesty, why are you here? If you are discovered and captured by the northern barbarians, I will be blamed for it!" Luo Xuan lowered his voice and spoke beside Pei Yaozhou.
Although this man had cheated away his precious daughter, he was the emperor after all, and he couldn't just ignore it!
Pei Yaozhou, however, didn't care at all, and his eyes remained on Shen Ruoxi. He said slowly, "I trust Ruoxi's judgment."
Luo Xuan:?
Is this emperor pig who has been eating his cabbage provoking him again? It's as if he doesn't trust his precious daughter!
"Are you tired? Are you hungry? I saw some wild sand foxes on this mountain. How about I catch one and bring it back for you as a snack?" Pei Yaozhou looked at Shen Ruoxi with eyes full of doting.
Luo Xuan:? ?
His precious daughter would never be deceived by such sweet words.
Shen Ruoxi smiled and nodded: “Okay, so to speak, I am indeed a little hungry.”
"Okay, then you wait here for me. I'll be back soon. It's a good opportunity for me to try out the things left to me in my past life memories." Pei Yaozhou blinked at Shen Ruoxi.
Luo Xuan: ???
Could it be that his precious daughter is in love?
Wait, why did the word "love brain" appear in his mind!
Just as General Luo was struggling with himself, Captain Xu walked up to Shen Ruoxi.
He looked at Shen Ruoxi with admiration, then bowed deeply and said, "My Lord, I admit defeat. From now on, you are my master!"
Shen Ruoxi smiled and helped the man up: "Captain Xu is knowledgeable and experienced. Ruoxi just won by luck this time. There will be places where I need to ask Captain Xu for advice in the future. There is really no need to call him master."
Captain Xu blushed instantly. He felt that his heart was not as broad as a woman's. He was afraid that he would never be able to repay the favor he owed her in this lifetime.
Thinking of this, Captain Xu suddenly remembered something.
"The princess is looking for someone with a water drop birthmark on his arm?"
