Princess Chaoyang roasted some cakes by the fire and tried to eat some. No matter how sore her throat was, it was better than being hungry. When people are extremely hungry, they don't care whether the food tastes good or not, as long as they have something to eat, it's fine.

Hearing some noise in the distance, Gu Dingbei stood up. Seeing his appearance, Li Sizhou, who was left behind, also stood up quickly.

"Who is it?" Li Si's hand reached for the hilt of the knife.

"It's us!! We are back!" Wang Er shouted loudly.

Gu Dingbei quickly came to Shen Lianxin and asked with his eyes. Shen Lianxin gave him a reassuring look, and then he felt relieved.

Seeing Wang Er coming back pushing the cart, Li Si and Zhou Wu happily went to greet him.

"You bought so many supplies, that's great. Do you have anything to eat?" As he said this, he was about to reach into the car.

Wang Er slapped his hand away, "Go away! This was bought by Madam Gu."

"All hers?"

Shen Lianxin quickly took out 10 meat buns from the car and gave them to Li Si.

"Here, I brought you some hot buns. Eat them quickly."

Li Si scratched his head embarrassedly, "Oh! Thank you, ma'am!"

Li Si and Zhou Wu were very happy to have meat buns and went back to eat them immediately. They were much more delicious than the cold and hard pancakes.

Zhang San and Wang Er shook their heads, saying they had never seen the food before.

Shen Lianxin took the cart and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang Er, for helping to push the cart. This is for you."

Shen Lianxin took out a set of tents, handed them to them, briefly explained how to use them, and gave them some meat and buns. The two then left happily.

Gu Dingbei took the car and pushed it to their side. July and a few girls surrounded them.

"lady!!"

"Madam, you are back!!"

Shen Lianxin quickly gave the little girls one or two meat buns, "Hurry, eat while it's hot."

The girls happily took it, "Thank you, Madam!!"

Shen Lianxin handed the buns to Princess Chaoyang. Princess Chaoyang originally wanted to say thank you, but then she thought that these were all exchanged for her gold hairpin, so they should be thanking her.

So, he took the bun with confidence and even a bit of pride.

Shen Lianxin was speechless, and Gu Dingbei also ate a few.

Then, following Shen Lianxin's instructions, Gu Dingbei and several little girls began to set up the tent.

Because the tent is very cleverly designed, it is easy to set up even though it has a large space.

Soon the small houses were built.

The little girls clapped their hands excitedly, "This is great, I've never seen this before."

“It’s like a tiny mobile home.”

"This is amazing, too. It's just amazing."

Princess Chaoyang had seen countless treasures, but this was something she had never seen before. She was also curious about it.

"What is this? How much silver is it? Where did you buy it?"

Shen Lianxin smiled and replied, "This is called a tent, 50 taels of silver each. I bought it from a Westerner I met. It's a novelty item. It may be rare in our Great Ying Dynasty."

When everyone heard this, they were very surprised. "50 taels? That's so expensive. You can build a stone house with that much money!"

“So precious!!”

When the girls heard the price, they hesitated and did not dare to go in, for fear of damaging the tent.

Shen Lianxin laughed, "No matter how valuable something is, it is for people to use. It is valuable only when it is used. Otherwise, it is just a decoration and worthless. Come in and take a look."

Shen Lianxin called out, and several maids came chattering into the tent. Princess Chaoyang also followed them in. It was truly magical.

The inside of the tent was much warmer because it was blocked by the wind.

"That's great. We can sleep in a tent today instead of sleeping in the wild."

Everyone was very happy, and Gu Dingbei quickly set up the other two tents.

Seeing that the three small tents were already set up, Wang Er came over and smiled bitterly, "General, we brothers don't know how to use this new thing. We fiddled with it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to set it up. Can you do it?"

Before he could finish, Gu Dingbei walked over and helped set up the tent. Li Si, Zhou Wu and others hurried over to see how it was done.

"Oh, you have to be the general. Smart! Unlike us, we are clumsy and can't make a good match."

Faced with the flattery of Wang Er and others, Gu Dingbei remained silent and didn't even look at them.

The tents were divided up, with Shen Lianxin and Gu Dingbei sleeping in one, the four little girls sleeping in one, and July and Princess Chaoyang sleeping in another.

When July and Princess Chaoyang entered a tent, Princess Chaoyang was unwilling and disgusted. She had never slept with a servant before, especially in such a small space.

July was also uncomfortable. Although the princess was in poverty, she was still a princess, and her former majesty was still in her mind.

"Well, I'm going to squeeze in with Haruka and the others."

With that, July hurried out and went into Chunxiang and the others' tent.

Shen Lianxin secretly laid a layer of foam mat under their tent to prevent moisture and cold.

The girls understood what he meant and covered their mouths and laughed non-stop. They didn't want to say anything.

After settling down, Shen Lianxin returned to her tent.

I bought a double bed directly from the Space Mall, equipped with a large Simmons mattress and a warm four-piece set.

Gu Dingbei looked at all this and smiled knowingly. The tent was big enough and it wasn't crowded for five of them to sleep.

In this small private space, Shen Lianxin can finally sleep peacefully.

Gu Dingbei stood up and said, "Lianxin, you have a good rest. I will go to keep watch."

Although Zhang San and his colleagues would take turns to keep watch, Gu Dingbei, who came from a military background, was still worried and wanted to keep watch himself.

Shen Lianxin felt sorry for him and said, "Let's go later in the night."

Gu Dingbei shook his head. He couldn't trust these officials.

Seeing Gu Dingbei leave, Shen Lianxin placed a set of tables and chairs in the tent, placed a set of teapots on them, boiled hot water with a gas stove, brewed tea, and placed some snacks.

In this way, Gu Dingbei can drink hot tea after coming back from night watch.

Things are finally getting better.

On the eighth day of exile, the battle situation in the northern border finally reported back to Kyoto.

The Zhenbei Army turned the tables again and defeated the Hu Meng Army. They even drove the Hu Meng Army 100 miles out of the border in one go.

Gu Nancheng was still strong and brave, and he killed General Hu Meng with one sword, laying the foundation for a great victory in the northern border.

Gu Ding, along with Gu Chengxin and Gu Chengan, returned to provide support, and the two armies of Zhenbei joined forces. The Hu people no longer had any chance and withdrew from the territory of Ying Dynasty with regret.

At the same time, the news that General Dingbei’s mansion had been confiscated and exiled also spread to the northern border.

"This is too much, how can this be justified!!" Gu Dinglian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Father, let me lead the army back to Kyoto and rescue my eldest brother and his wife!!"

"I'm going too! I want to save my elder brother and his wife too!" Gu Dingze also expressed his desire to go.

Gu Nancheng's face turned black, "I shed my blood on the battlefield, but the old emperor treats me like this!"

Gu Nancheng smashed the table beside him with one punch.

"Your Majesty, let's fight back and rescue the general!!"

"My Lord, kill them back!"

"Your Majesty!!"

The soldiers were outraged.
