We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

barracks.

Zhou Tiancheng and Zheng Ye'er returned to their usual selves.

They were even more affectionate than usual.

Zheng Ye'er didn't take the Hu woman seriously at all; what angered her was that Zhou Tiancheng had demeaned himself too much.

As for innocence...

Are you kidding me?

Let alone Zhou Tiancheng being the crown prince, even among the sons of ordinary officials in the capital, which family doesn't have several maids, and which family hasn't tasted the pleasures of women before marriage?

In this godforsaken place called Daqian, rules are more important than purity; on the contrary, women don't value purity either.

The idea of ​​one person for life is common in poverty, but even the children of officials don't think that way.

Putting everything else aside, Zheng Ye'er knew very well that when her father, Zheng Rong, was in the Northern Frontier, he had quite a few affairs with his maids.

Expecting a powerful man to remain chaste is like expecting a tiger to only eat vegetables and not meat.

Therefore, Zheng Ye'er did not hesitate and did what she should do.

But Zheng Rong eventually found out about this and came to the military camp in person.

Zheng Ye'er had long forgotten about the Hu woman. At this moment, she was like a child who had gotten a perfect score, and she pulled Zheng Rong to see the troops she was leading.

"gather!"

At a command, a hundred people quickly assembled, arranged in order of height, standing ramrod straight.

Zheng Ye'er, with a proud expression, continued to give orders.

"stand at attention!"

"Right dress!"

The sound of light, hurried footsteps rang out, but disappeared at the same moment.

Look ahead!

After giving a few basic commands, Zheng Ye'er turned around to look at her biological father.

Zheng Rong stood at a distance, looking at the scene before her with a somewhat solemn expression.

These soldiers are somewhat unusual.

Although he had read the notes Xinhua had given him and was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked at this moment.

Zheng Rong understood better than anyone what execution capability meant for an army.

On the battlefield, if you have a general who can see through the battle situation, it will be easy for such a team to win!

"Father! How are the soldiers under my command?"

Zheng Ye'er ran over excitedly, looking at her father with anticipation.

Zheng Rong chuckled and patted her head.

"My daughter is old enough to be a general."

Zheng Ye'er's smile widened, and then she asked Zheng Rong about his purpose in coming.

Zheng Rong was somewhat curious.

"I heard the Crown Prince is having an affair with a barbarian woman. Aren't you angry?"

She was too embarrassed to say it, and her anger had subsided.

Of course, it's mainly because the Crown Prince is good at coaxing her; she falls for that.

She spoke with a touch of shyness.

"Who His Highness the Crown Prince is involved with is none of my business. I have no right to interfere."

Zheng Rong chuckled to herself.

Doesn't he know his own daughter?

If she hadn't developed feelings for him, why would Zheng Ye'er have followed him to this military camp?

Zheng Rong gave him some earnest advice.

"Ye'er, remember this: you are the daughter of the Duke of Protectorate, and you have no need to bow down to anyone."

"Even if the Crown Prince bullies you, you don't need to hide it. At worst, you can go back to your father's side. Your father has plenty of ways to protect you."

Zheng Ye'er blushed slightly, because Zheng Rong's words implied tacit approval of her affair with the Crown Prince.

She lowered her head, feeling both shy and nervous.

"But Father, His Majesty promised me to the Third Prince. If this happens, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty."

Zheng Rong was also somewhat heavy-hearted, but she still tried her best to comfort her daughter.

"It's alright, Father will speak to His Majesty about this personally."

"Alright, you go train the troops first, I'm going to see the Crown Prince."

Zheng Ye'er nodded obediently, and then added a sentence.

"This matter has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince, so please don't scold him."

Zheng Rong looked helpless.

The woman hasn't even been married yet, and the Crown Prince is already protecting her. Does he seem like such an unreasonable person?

Insulting the Crown Prince?

He didn't come here to scold the crown prince.

Upon entering the military camp, he naturally took the seat of honor.

When Zhou Tiancheng came in, he got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"I've had a batch of composite bows and armor-piercing spikes made; you should be able to use them on the day of the final battle."

Zhou Tiancheng was somewhat surprised.

"Isn't this against the rules?"

Zheng Rong glanced at him and chuckled softly.

"Your Highness is still too young. His Majesty tacitly approved the Third Prince's use of cavalry. Can you guess why?"

Zhou Tiancheng was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"Is it because of the drawings I made before?"

"Could these things come in handy in this final battle?"

It wasn't until this moment that Zhou Tiancheng realized what was happening.

Zhou Rui's tacit approval was not because he supported the Third Prince; on the contrary, he hoped that he, the fake Crown Prince, would show impressive results!

And the composite bow and armor-piercing spike are the best tools!

Zhou Tiancheng nodded slightly and bowed in thanks.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Zheng Rong nodded in agreement before continuing to inquire about Ms. Hu.

"I already asked around before I came. Li Hua's father, Li Tao, is a well-known horse trader in Rong State. You want warhorses, so you've made preparations in advance. Have you already subdued the Ten Ghosts of Fengcheng?"

Zhou Tiancheng felt somewhat embarrassed and recounted what had happened.

Zheng Rong sighed.

"Xiao Shi is a reasonable person. Although he is a bit arrogant, he is more pure-hearted than his older brothers. It's not surprising that he followed you."

"But it might be a bit difficult for you to win over the remaining nine people this way."

"Your biggest weakness is that, as the crown prince, it is inconvenient for you to intervene in border wars. If they follow you, there will be no battles to fight and no use for their skills, so naturally they will not be willing."

Zhou Tiancheng then understood why the remaining nine people were unwilling to follow him.

However, although he is the crown prince, he is a very special crown prince. If he wants to fight a war, it will be easy for him.

He thought about it carefully and quickly gave his answer.

"I'll go and beg my father to give me a place to train my troops. Then, won't those ten men finally have a chance to put their skills to use?"

"As for an excuse, I don't need to look for one. If we win the final battle, I will submit the new training methods of the general's camp and ask for a training ground for actual combat. My father should not refuse."

"In this way, I will have my own army. Even if I don't inherit the throne, the Third Prince won't be able to do anything to me in a short time."

Zheng Rong smiled with relief.

"It's best if you think that way. Also, I don't think Ye'er dislikes you that much, so you should speed things up on your end."

"The Emperor saw Ye'er at the military camp a few days ago and summoned me to the palace for questioning. Although I declined, this matter cannot be delayed indefinitely. Since you have this idea, you should think of a solution as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Zhou Tiancheng also became a little anxious.

Zheng Ye'er is the Crown Princess he has his eye on; she is his talisman!

If he were to be betrothed to someone else, Zhou Tiancheng would have nowhere to turn to cry!

He nodded vigorously.

"Once I win the championship, I will propose marriage directly to my father."

Zheng Rong stood up, satisfied, but just as he was about to leave, he remembered something else.

"I heard from Xinhua that you're short of money?"

"There's no need for such formalities. If you're short of money, our Duke's mansion still has some left, more than we can spend. It's useless to leave it there, so I can lend it to you."

Zhou Tiancheng blushed slightly.

He, the crown prince, is famously poor!
