The Northern Territory Army reported eight hundred miles and rushed back to Shendu. This time, for some unknown reason, they did not choose the wooden bird messenger from the Ministry of Works, but instead used the method of sending orders in the early years of Daliang.
The messengers passed by on horseback, passing by the inns on the way, changing horses without changing people, and rushed to Shendu one station after another. This was already an unlucky thing. Fortunately, even the Ministry of Industry had already developed a wooden bird messenger, and when they arrived,
At this moment, the post road in the Liang Dynasty was not abandoned. Instead, it had been used as a backup method to allow the military report from the north to be successfully delivered to the capital.
The messenger sent the news to the Ministry of War. After the Minister of War saw it, although he already knew the contents, he still rushed to the imperial city without stopping.
Half a day later, the entire streets and alleys of the divine capital knew the news.
The northern border army won a great victory, defeating the monster army of 200,000, and beheading the general Liu Xiang. .??.
This great victory can be said to be among the top three great victories of the Liang Dynasty in more than two hundred years. What is very interesting is that the leader of this great victory was none other than the academy girl Xie Nandu. The last one was considered to be among the top three.
The top three major victories were also led by Xie Nandu.
In other words, over the past two hundred years or so of the Liang Dynasty, famous generals have emerged in large numbers, like crucian carp crossing a river. However, most of the generals just struggled to maintain a defensive position in the face of the demon clan. Like that woman, in just a few years, there were
Winning two battles can be said to be the decisive battle that established her status in the military. It has never happened before.
In the Imperial Study Room, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the battle report in his hand, his face full of joy. The person waiting beside him was not the young eunuch Li Shou whose status was also rising, but the current master of the harem, the Princess of the East Palace, Wu Xinyue.
Wu Xinyue stretched out her hand to study the ink, looked at the young man who was taller not far away, and whispered, "Your Highness, there are no outsiders here, you can laugh if you want."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grinned when he heard this, but then quickly suppressed the corners of his mouth, turned around and looked at Wu Xinyue with some melancholy, "There is some trouble."
As soon as Wu Xinyue heard such words, she knew what His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to say. After smiling, she said considerately, "Your Highness doesn't know how to award the reward?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighed and said, "Yes, the two great victories are all due to my unprecedented military exploits in the Liang Dynasty. Based on these military exploits alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that she should be the general of the North immediately, but at her age
, can you convince the public?"
Wu Xinyue asked, "Are you worried about this? Are you not worried that her great achievements will shock the master? There will be no way to deal with it in the future?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head and said with a smile, "We are all one family. From now on, we will call you sister-in-law. Moreover, a woman that a man like my brother can like will definitely not be that kind of treacherous person. No matter how high his military exploits are, his authority is too heavy."
, it should be fine... It would be great if my brother could come and discuss it with me. He will make the decision with his words, so I don’t need to worry so much."
Speaking of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Wu Xinyue with some hope, who shook his head, "The Guardian has been in seclusion for a long time and has not yet come out. It seems that he will not be able to do so in a short time."
His Royal Highness suddenly had an idea and asked, "How about asking General Ning for his opinion?"
Wu Xinyue said helplessly, "Has His Highness forgotten what General Ning said before? He has already thought so. If His Highness asks this, General Ning must be following the trend, but this is obviously not a good time to change commanders. After all, the military newspaper said
I also said that although this big battle has been won, the demon clan will definitely raise troops next. This juncture is the most dangerous, so your highness should not act recklessly."
His Royal Highness the Prince nodded and said softly, "This is also true, but merit must be rewarded, otherwise the hearts of the soldiers will be chilled."<

Wu Xinyue didn't say anything. She just smiled when she looked at the Crown Prince in front of her. These days, she had been learning how to be a good Crown Princess and had some experience. The first one was that she could discuss and propose such important military matters.
You have your own opinions, but when making the final decision, you must remain silent and let the man in front of you make his own decision.
His Highness the Crown Prince glanced at Wu Xinyue and knew that the other party would not speak again. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Then let her be a deputy general in the general's mansion first. The control power should be given to General Ning. Regarding matters in the north,
They are more familiar with it in the first place, so let’s not get involved blindly.”
Things in the world are like this. They are difficult to say. The difficulty lies in the fact that laymen always like to point fingers at experts. But it is also very simple to say that laymen must keep silent about things and leave it to the experts.
Just do it.
Wu Xinyue smiled slightly and said sincerely, "Your Highness Shengming."

…
After the common people learned about the military report, they put up lanterns and streamers and rushed to tell each other. It was not the New Year season, but at this moment, every household in the capital city was hanging red lanterns.
He Liang also bought two red lanterns and hung them in front of the bamboo building. After hanging them, He Liang looked at them carefully for a moment and nodded frequently, feeling very festive.
However, after reading it, He Liang quickly continued to practice boxing in front of the bamboo building. Every word his master said was golden and wise. Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Don't slack off.
Sticking to something for a day or two is not considered a skill, but if you keep doing it for ten or twenty years, no matter how stupid you are, you will definitely achieve something.
He Liang was practicing boxing while thinking about these words, his eyes firm.
Soon after the punch was finished, He Liang was covered in sweat. He was about to continue punching again when two figures suddenly appeared not far away. One of them was a middle-aged man, who was Song Lian, the current commander of the city of gods.
As for the other one, he looked unfamiliar, his face was pale, his steps were slow, and he seemed to be seriously injured at first glance.
"Commander Song?"
Just as He Liang opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Song Lian, "Xiao He, your master hasn't left seclusion yet?"
He Liang shook his head and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Song Lian didn't answer him, but looked at the man beside him with an ugly expression.
The man knelt down with a plop and was about to speak loudly, but Song Lian pressed him on the shoulder and shook his head.
Now Chen Chao in the bamboo house doesn't know how far he has gone in seclusion. If something bad affects him, no one can say what the consequences will be.
The man closed his eyes and could only whisper in a low voice, "Master Guardian, I am a disciple of Wantian Palace. I was entrusted by the elder Li Yu of Lufang to come to the city of God to report to the Lord Guardian that I, the saint Zhu Xia of Wantian Palace, was killed.
Please protect me, sir, please come to my rescue."
His voice wasn't loud, and he didn't expect the guard in the bamboo building opposite to hear him when he spoke. But since he had traveled such a long way to get here, he had to bring his words with him.
After saying this, the man stared at the door of the bamboo building for a long time. In the end, he couldn't wait for the door to open. His eyes darkened and he was about to fall down.
Song Lian, with quick eyes and quick hands, supported him, but before he could raise his head, he heard a creak from the other side.
