Soon it was getting late.
That very night, pigs and sheep were slaughtered in the city, and bonfires were lit.
This is a scene that only happens during the Chinese New Year.
The soldiers sang and danced merrily, celebrating this complete victory.
Su Muyao stood on the city wall, watching the lively scene below.
Long Yuan stood next to Su Muyao, whose face was flushed red from the firelight below.
The two smiled at each other and walked down together.
When the soldiers saw the young princess and the crown prince approaching, they all warmly stood up and made way for them.
The lieutenant even tore off a golden-brown roasted lamb leg for Su Muyao and handed it to her.
"Princess, please try this. It's a local specialty."
Su Muyao took it, said "thank you," and then put it in her mouth.
"No, no, I'm just a mortal, how could I possibly deserve a word of thanks from an immortal? Haha."
After the deputy general finished speaking, he scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
Immediately afterwards, the general next to him handed another leg of lamb to Long Yuan.
Su Muyao almost spat out the mutton she had just eaten.
It was the serious yet slightly goofy expression on the face of the deputy general in front of him.
And if I remember correctly, he had just torn apart a leg of lamb, and his hands, still greasy, reached for his head.
The other soldiers nodded vigorously in their hearts.
In their view, the rumors were credible; the young princess was a deity descended to earth, otherwise how could those divine artifacts be explained?
Furthermore, with the spread of misinformation, by the time it reached them, the young princess was said to be a celestial being descended to earth, unprecedented and unparalleled.
The emperor witnessed the little princess's extraordinary abilities firsthand, which is why he appointed her as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Dynasty.
And he proclaimed to the world that the young princess was a lucky star for the great dynasty.
Meanwhile, far away in the Great Dynasty, Shadow One began boasting to his secret guards about how insignificant the houses on the ground looked from the sky.
That person was as small as an ant.
And how those soft, fluffy white clouds drifted around the airplane.
And how did that little princess conjure up one hot roasted chicken after another from her sleeves!
All the guards were astonished, and they regretted that this cushy job had fallen to Shadow One.
Shadow One kept boasting about how beautiful the scenery in the sky was.
The guards were filled with envy, their eyes sparkling, and everyone wanted to experience it for themselves.
In their minds, only gods and immortals could ascend to heaven.
This is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
But they dared not approach the young princess casually, for they were afraid of her swift and decisive methods.
Now we're afraid of angering the young princess and incurring some divine punishment!
After all, where would the little princess find so much free time to take them to heaven?
At this point, they could only envy Shadow One.
...
Nanhuacheng is celebrating its resounding victory!
The remaining Japanese soldiers' commander hurriedly rode his horse into a forest.
He put his finger to his mouth and whistled a strange whistle. Soon, a pure white carrier pigeon flew over.
Trembling, he wrote down today's military situation and the matter of divine punishment on a piece of paper and tied it to the carrier pigeon's leg.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after the carrier pigeon had flown far away.
Now he truly believes that the great dynasty has gods descending and gods protecting it.
After all, I saw all of this with my own eyes.
Thinking about it now still makes me quite scared.
The punishment from the gods is truly terrifying.
In the past, old people often said that there were gods, and that if you angered the gods, you would be punished by the gods.
Meanwhile, the Japanese emperor, far away in the mountains, received a message from a carrier pigeon.
After reading it, I jumped out of bed in a fit of rage.
I had already gone to bed when someone came to report that the carrier pigeons had returned.
After he finished reading the letter, his spiky ponytail bounced up and down on his head with his angry movements.
Luckily, no one was around at the moment, otherwise they would have been amused by the Emperor's comical appearance and burst out laughing.
He had sent all his soldiers with the intention of taking over the great dynasty in one fell swoop.
The other side was able to win a great victory without losing a single soldier.
Could what the letter describes truly be divine punishment?
But that's just a rumor, how could it possibly be true?
The Japanese general didn't receive a reply from His Majesty the Emperor until dawn.
The letter stated that they had already asked the neighboring Heavenly Kingdom to come and cooperate in destroying the Great Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Early in the morning, Long Yuan took Su Muyao for a stroll around the city.
Long Yuan took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and handed them to Su Muyao.
"Thank you, Yao Yao. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Su Muyao noticed that there were 50-yuan notes among the stack of silver notes, indicating that the Crown Prince was short of money.
"No need for silver notes, I am also a part of the Great Dynasty."
Seeing that Su Muyao refused, Long Yuan took the silver note back.
He paused, then said half-jokingly, "Since Yao Yao is unwilling to accept the silver notes, then this prince has no way to repay her, so I can only offer myself in marriage."
Wow, he actually said he'd give himself to her.
Su Muyao waved her hand and quickly snatched the stack of silver notes from Long Yuan's hand.
He folded it up and threw it into his sleeve.
"After thinking about it, I think silver notes are more appropriate."
Su Muyao was genuinely afraid that if the Crown Prince became stubborn and insisted on offering himself to her, it would be troublesome.
If the crown prince were to marry her, the emperor would surely devour him.
Long Yuan watched Su Muyao's series of actions with amusement.
Are you that afraid I'll become attached to you?
"No, it's just that if I, this princess, were to take you in as my son-in-law, do you think your father would just chop me up?"
Long Yuan had felt a little disappointed, but his eyes lit up instantly when he heard what Su Muyao said.
"No, he can't change my decision."
Seeing Long Yuan's appearance, Su Muyao quickly changed the subject.
"I heard there's a hot spring less than a few dozen miles from here. Why don't we go check it out after lunch?"
Long Yuan nodded.
After lunch.
Su Muyao asked the people in the city for directions before taking Long Yuan by plane.
After about half an hour of flying, we were surprised to see a large, dark army in the distance, deep in the mountains.
We are heading towards Nanhuacheng.
After exchanging a glance with Long Yuan, Su Muyao quickly looked for a suitable place to land, intending to land first.
After landing, the two took out binoculars and looked at the dark mass of troops in front of them.
Through the binoculars, all I could see was a large group of short people with distinctive Mediterranean-style haircuts, braids, and black short-sleeved shirts and shorts.
These Japanese soldiers are all here.
"Yaoyao, look behind you quickly."
Su Muyao quickly raised her binoculars and looked back, only to find that there were soldiers from another country there.
It seems this is a merger of two countries, aiming to seize control of the great dynasty in one fell swoop.
What Su Muyao was thinking was that since they had run into each other, they might as well settle things here.
People don't care about their space being exposed now.
Even if you expose yourself, you can say that this is a treasure left by your master.
Just tell him any medium.
With a wave of his hand, he stored the plane that had fallen behind back into the space.
Just as Su Muyao was taking out a large number of grenades from her spatial storage and preparing to throw them, Long Yuan suddenly called out to her.
"Yaoyao, wait a moment."
