After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

Speaking of this, Su Xiaoxi paused.

As soon as these words came out, bursts of discussion broke out in the originally quiet hall.

Obviously they were all confused by Su Xiaoxi's words.

"Pfft... Hahaha..." Immediately, a voice that couldn't help but laugh came out.

What followed was a burst of laughter.

Su Xiaoxi frowned slightly, wondering what happened to these ministers, who stared at her as if they had seen a ghost.

"Ahem..." Cheng Shubai, who had been silent all this time, coughed twice.

Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.

"The princess is a golden tree, how can you laugh at her?" Cheng Shubai reprimanded her seriously, with a deep voice.

Hearing this, several timid ministers below were so frightened that they knelt down to plead guilty, for fear of offending the princess.

"The First Assistant taught you a lesson very well. We are ignorant. Please forgive me, Princess!" Other ministers echoed, fearing that Su Xiaoxi would be angry.

"Since you know, why don't you retreat quickly?" Cheng Shubai glared at the ministers.

Upon hearing this, the ministers ran out of the hall as if they had been granted amnesty.

Seeing this, the corners of Su Xiaoxi's lips curved.

"You all, stand down!" Cheng Shubai pointed at some guards standing nearby and ordered.

"Yes!"

After the guards saluted respectfully, they left in a hurry.

After the guards walked away, Cheng Shubai raised his head and looked at Su Xiaoxi, "Madam, are you doing this deliberately to make them afraid of you?"

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxi raised a faint smile on her lips, and then nodded: "Uh-huh."

Cheng Shubai laughed, "This method works very well."

But he didn't want his wife to be in danger again.

"Master Chief Assistant, aren't you afraid that I will get into trouble?" Su Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Cheng Shubai, her beautiful phoenix eyes shining with a shrewd light.

Hearing this, Cheng Shubai was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "My wife is my husband's wife, and I am willing to protect you."

This sentence was very useful to Su Xiaoxi.

Although she doesn't want to get married now, it doesn't mean she can't consider it.

"Actually, I can handle this matter myself." Although she has no power to mobilize troops, she will not sit still and wait for death.

She will never forget that this is Dachu.

"Madam, could it be that in your heart, your husband and I are so incompetent that I can't even protect my own wife?"

Su Xiaoxi's words obviously angered someone.

"Uh..." Su Xiaoxi was embarrassed, it seemed that she didn't mean what she just said.

"I mean...I have my own way..."

In the end, Su Xiaoxi decided to be more honest, so as not to have this man keep grabbing her for lectures.

Sure enough, after saying this, Cheng Shubai did not hold on to the topic, but changed the topic, "I summoned you all to come here today to discuss the matter of food and grass."

Once the food and grass issue is resolved, then the war will begin.

This battle will begin sooner or later.

"We are well prepared for the food and grass matter." Su Xiaoxi said, "The food and grass are supplied by the army, and we are responsible for defending the city."

"But princess, our city defense can't resist the attack of Beirong's [-] soldiers and horses." At this time, an old minister stood up from the crowd and spoke.

As soon as his words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

"Although we, the Ning Dynasty, do not have enough troops, we will never surrender and ask for mercy."

"That's right, I, the Ning Dynasty, cannot be humiliated!"

……

The ministers were very angry and wanted to kill all the dog thieves in the enemy country.

However, Su Xiaoxi did not respond to the ministers' indignation.

After all, she didn't understand things like war.

"Princess, do you have any clever ideas?" Suddenly, a minister looked at Su Xiaoxi and asked, his eyes full of expectation.

Su Xiaoxi looked at the minister with deep and dark eyes.

This minister is not a fool. He should be able to hear the deeper meaning of what she just said, but he still asked himself.

This shows that his IQ is here, but his emotional intelligence...

"I didn't." Su Xiaoxi admitted frankly, not feeling ashamed because of it.

In Su Xiaoxi's dictionary, the word "retreat" never existed.

"Alas~" Upon hearing this, the minister who spoke just now sighed heavily, then shook his head and said no more.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Cheng Shubai asked.

This time, Su Xiaoxi found that several ministers were hesitant to speak, but they did not dare to speak.

Cheng Shubai glanced at them, and then his eyes fell on Su Xiaoxi again, "Madam, do you have any suggestions?"

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Su Xiaoxi, with strong expectations in their eyes.

"I think..." Su Xiaoxi was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"I would like to report to you, Lord Chief Assistant, I will report something later."

The speaker was a young and strong man of 25 or [-] years old, wearing armor and looking majestic.

Cheng Shubai frowned slightly and looked at the soldier displeased.

"Which battalion are you from?" Cheng Shubai asked.

"The last general is Zhang Yong, the captain of the escort team of Nanyang County Prince's Palace." The strong man answered with clasped fists.

When Cheng Shubai heard this, his expression changed slightly.

Nanyang County Prince's Mansion?Isn't that Nangong Yuze's fiefdom?

"What's the matter?" Cheng Shubai asked in a deep voice.

"The general was assassinated in the woods last night. Fortunately, the emperor's sister-in-law saved his life, otherwise..."

With that said, Zhang Yong lifted up his robe, knelt on one knee in front of Su Xiaoxi, cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you, Mrs. Huang, for saving your life."

"It's just a little effort. Besides, General Zhang is also protecting me." Su Xiaoxi said modestly.

"No matter what, the general's life was saved by the emperor's wife." Zhang Yong still insisted.

Looking at Zhang Yong, Su Xiaoxi felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She had experienced this feeling with other soldiers before, and that was——

sincere!

"I don't need anyone to repay me, and I won't accept anyone's thanks." Su Xiaoxi refused bluntly, "You'd better go ahead and get busy. You can think about the issue of food and grass later."

"Yes! I will leave at the end." After Zhang Yong finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but frown, looking at Zhang Yong's retreating back.

I always feel that the back figure is a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

"Ms. sir, who is this Zhang Yong? He looks very powerful." Su Xiaoxi turned to look at Cheng Shubai and asked.

"His father was a hussar general of the Daning Dynasty." Cheng Shubai answered.

Cavalry General?No wonder!

No wonder Zhang Yong's back looks so familiar. He turns out to be his father's subordinate.

Seeing Zhang Yong leaving, Su Xiaoxi no longer thought so much.

In the Beirong Kingdom, a woman was beating a child with a whip. The scene was extremely bloody and violent.

"Auntie Huang, why are you bullying your nephew?" The woman's face was covered by black gauze, and only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed.
