The soldiers of the Princess's Mansion were always swift and resolute in their response to Xie Xuan's orders. In a short while, Xie Xuan had made all the arrangements and was ready to set off.

Although there are only a hundred cavalrymen, they are full of momentum and seem to be well-disciplined. There will be no problem in sending them directly to the battlefield to fight.

Shen He couldn't help but praise it when he saw it:

"Pretty!"

Su Fengyi and Shen Quan went to the door to see everyone off. Su Fengyi first gave Xie Xuan the note for food and military pay, and then instructed:

"Xie Xuan, I wish you to spread your wings like an eagle, accomplish unparalleled feats, and soar into the sky from now on.

But if something unexpected happens, nothing else matters, everything else can be abandoned, only life is the most important, I just hope you return safely."

Xie Xuan had followed the princess six years ago and had a family to care for. This was the first time he had traveled far away from home. Hearing what the princess said, he was filled with emotion. In the end, all he could say was just one sentence:

"Yes, I humbly obey my orders."

Shen He was almost choked by what he heard. How come no one cared about him when he went out? He felt a little jealous and envious, and he pouted three times in a row:

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, go out to fight, Your Highness, please say something auspicious, what could possibly go wrong? I'm here, how can I let anything happen to him?

I'll protect him, Your Highness, you can just relax.

I promise to return it to you intact, without losing even a hair of Mr. Xie's."

Okay, Xie Xuan is six years older than Shen He, so Shen He can be considered the older brother.

Shen He's seniority was always so erratic, Su Fengyi was not going to care about it, just ignored it, handed him a package and said:

"The same goes for the young general. I hope the general can defeat the northern barbarians and return safely."

Shen He took it curiously and opened it. A scent of flowers and fruits hit him. In the bag given to him by the eldest princess was actually a bag of fructose, which were red, green and round. They were probably made by Gui Chef.

Seeing that it was candy, Shen He smiled so hard that his ears were almost stretched, but he still said with disdain:

"I'm not a child, bring me a bag of candy when you go out."

Although he said so, his actions were decisive. He picked two of the biggest, reddest, and roundest ones and ate them on the spot.

Mm, cherry flavor, so sweet and delicious!

Shen He was so happy to have candy to eat. With candy in his mouth, he asked Shen Quan in a slurred voice:

"Pot, what do you want to tell me?"

Shen Quan couldn't bear to see his useless look, so he replied:

"We're just going out to fight a war, why are you wasting time? Get out of here now."

Shen He smiled and put the bag of candy close to his body, then waved his hand and shouted incoherently:

"Elbow, eat hair!"

Shen He had two candies in his mouth. Although his words were unclear, his movements were agile. He jumped onto the horse, waved with his back to the crowd, and rode away in a leisurely manner.

Xie Xuan bowed to Su Fengyi and took everyone to chase after Shen He.

In a flash, the door was cleared.

The reason why Su Fengyi was in a hurry to send Shen He away was that she wanted to attack the little prince of Beilu before he could react.

On the other hand, the purpose was to create a time difference to prevent Qiao Gui from doing anything weird or conducting a loyalty test to force the Shen family to surrender.

Send Shen He away first. Shen Quan cannot leave. Even if something happens and Qiao Gui wants to send the Shen family to do something, the Shen family will be powerless.

Apart from cheering for the factory owner, praising his might, and expressing loyalty verbally, there is nothing else that can be done.

……

Su Fengyi and Qiao Gui made an appointment for You hour, but Captain Zhu arrived just after Shen hour.

In order to show closeness, Su Fengyi specially entertained Captain Zhu in the inner study room, wanting to ask about the Liu family's situation.

Captain Zhu was sent by the factory manager to surround Liu's mansion and capture Liu An, which was originally an easy task.

Firstly, Liu An was a weak civil official with little fighting ability and could be tied up with just a rope. Secondly, the factory manager's decision to arrest Liu An was sudden, and unless someone tipped off Liu An, he would not be able to escape without preparation.

As a result, Captain Zhu came to visit with a dusty face. When he saw Su Fengyi, Captain Zhu said dejectedly:

"Your Highness, I have not done my job well. Liu An has escaped. I am afraid I cannot pass the 9,000-year-old test.

If anything happens to me, could Your Highness please look after my innocent wife and daughter at home for my loyalty?"

Su Fengyi also did not expect Liu An to be able to escape, so she asked him:

"Did Liu An run away on the spot, or in advance?"

Captain Zhu really didn't know the difference between the two, so he asked:

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness. What difference can there be? Didn't they all run away?

When I left, the Liu Mansion was deserted, and Liu An had already fled."

No matter how he ran away, it was all because Captain Zhu had failed to do his job well. There was no way to argue for it. Besides, the factory manager was not the kind of tolerant person who would listen to arguments and explanations.

Su Fengyi smiled and said:

"If Liu An escaped ahead of time, it must be someone from the East Factory who tipped him off. That would be your fault, Captain Zhu, for not keeping a strict control over your subordinates.

But Captain Zhu, think about it again, is it really so? Wasn't Liu An running away right under your nose?

How could a weak scholar like him have such great abilities to escape unscathed from the siege of the Eastern Depot? There must be someone helping him. You saw it with your own eyes, right?

"Captain Zhu, did you see clearly who saved him?"

Captain Zhu could tell that the princess was trying to help him break the impasse. Although he still hadn't figured out how to break the impasse, he stood up excitedly and followed the princess' words:

"Yes, yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The person who saved him must be a Northern Barbarian!"

This way it can be fulfilled!

In this case, it is certain that Liu An fled for fear of punishment!

Captain Zhu was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to the princess on the spot:

"Your Highness, thank you for your kindness! I will do it right away!"

Su Fengyi stopped Zhu Qianhu who wanted to run away:

"Think about it carefully, Captain. Apart from this, did you hear anything else Liu An and the northern barbarian were talking about?"

This isn't the end? There's more?!

Zhu Qianhu had never met anyone, so how could he make up something out of nothing? He looked at Su Fengyi eagerly:

"Yes, yes, yes..."

What’s going on? Captain Zhu couldn’t figure out a story and was almost crying.

Su Fengyi comforted:

"Don't worry, Captain Zhu. If you think about it more, you will remember it eventually. For example, could it be that the little prince of the Northern Tartars has sent 50,000 cavalrymen to Xuanfu and will arrive in Xinghe within ten days?"

Such important military intelligence cannot be made up.

Zhu Qianhu was stunned:

"Your Highness, are you serious?"

Su Fengyi answered simply: "It's absolutely true."

This matter was so huge that Captain Zhu couldn't believe it:

"How come there is no news about such a big event? Even the Ministry of War has no news?"

Su Fengyi smiled and said:

"The Ministry of War didn't know, but Captain Zhu knew. Doesn't this just show how capable Captain Zhu and the East Factory are?

In front of the factory master, Captain Zhu has made contributions, and in front of the emperor, the East Factory has made contributions, isn't that just right?"

Captain Zhu really knelt down to Su Fengyi this time:

"With such a great contribution, how can I be worthy of such a gift from Your Highness?"

Su Fengyi personally helped Zhu Qianhu up and replied sincerely:

"Captain Zhu, why should you be so polite? I never mistreat my own people.

Captain Zhu is loyal to me, and since I have promised to ensure that Captain Zhu will be rich and prosperous and rise to higher positions, I will naturally keep my word and do what I say. "
