Su Qianqian rode the white tiger out of the city, followed by a large brown bear.

This guy was jumping around so much, making a huge commotion.

"Silly bear, you're making too much noise, it's inconvenient to take you along."

When the upright brown bear heard its owner complaining, it immediately lay down on the ground with its rear end in the air, behaving as obediently as a kitten, determined to compete with the white tiger to see who could be quieter.

But Su Qianqian still put the big brown bear into her spatial storage.

The white tiger was intelligent and saw that the brown bear had been scolded by its owner, so it walked even more quietly.

You absolutely mustn't be disliked by your master, or you won't be able to drink the spiritual spring water.

Su Qianqian was dressed in all black, as black as the night. Before setting off, she had dyed the white tiger into a black tiger, so she could hide her figure in the night.

But the brown bear is even more impressive; it dyed itself black.

Su Qianqian rode the "Big Black Tiger" to the enemy camp and hid behind a big tree to observe the enemy's situation.

It was already quite late, and most of the enemy troops were asleep.

There were over a hundred tents in the enemy camp, most of which were dark inside, with only a few tents still lit.

There were dozens of campfires outside the tent, illuminating the night. Hundreds of soldiers were patrolling and keeping watch, and the defense was very tight, so it was not a good time to make a move yet.

In the latter half of the night, all the tent lights went out, and the patrolling soldiers were drowsy, making it the perfect time to take action.

Relying on the white tiger's keen sense of smell, Su Qianqian headed straight for the military food warehouse.

A gust of wind blew by, and the two soldiers standing guard outside the granary suddenly woke up.

Strange, it seemed like something had just passed by them, but when they looked around, they couldn't see anything.

The two lifted the curtain of the granary and found it quiet and uneventful, so it must have been an illusion.

After the two guards left the tent, Su Qianqian stood up from behind the sacks full of grain.

She immediately moved all the food into the space.

Having more food means she can support more troops.

Li Xuanji brought 10,000 soldiers, and they needed a lot of food every day, so he brought tens of thousands of catties of grain.

There are quite a few, which is very satisfying.

Su Qianqian then sneaked into the weapons warehouse and started collecting weapons.

They've all been saved in my space.

They collected over a thousand spears, over two thousand broadswords, and several hundred sets of armor—all valuable items that could be used to arm their troops.

The imperial law stipulates that private individuals are not allowed to forge or sell weapons, but we didn't spend any money, so the law can't touch us.

Finally, Su Qianqian set fire to the enemy's camp.

This has finally woken up the enemy.

When General Mu came out, he saw Su Qianqian riding away on a dark, blurry figure.

"Fire arrows! Fire arrows quickly! That girl is fleeing to the west. Don't let her get away!"

The white tiger used all its strength to escape, determined not to let its master get hurt, otherwise it would never be able to eat the braised meat made by its master again.

Su Qianqian released Xiong Hanhan.

Most of the arrows fired by the enemy were blocked by Xiong Hanhan.

The bear got shot in the butt and is about to cry. Master, you actually made me shield the white tiger from an arrow! Actually, I, the bear, can also be a mount.

After the fire was extinguished, Li Xuanji and General Mu discovered that the food and spare weapons were gone.

Li Xuanji and General Mu stared at each other, both wide awake.

Despair was evident in both of their eyes.

Almost all the weapons were stolen.

It was clearly just a little girl who came. How could one person possibly move so many supplies?

It's really unbelievable; running into that girl is never a good thing.

We've run out of food; if we stay here any longer, we'll starve.

But he couldn't return to Huainan, otherwise he might be executed by the King of Huainan.

Li Xuanji sighed, "That little girl is terrifying! She single-handedly raided a military camp of tens of thousands of men at night, as if she were in an empty place."

General Mu was also very annoyed. He felt that the little girl was born to be his nemesis. He was already highly regarded by his soldiers for using a four-stone crossbow, but when he saw the little girl shoot the king beast, she used a five-stone bow. It was truly terrifying!

General Mu suggested, "Why don't we go to Cao County? Cao County has a smaller population than Qinghe County. If we go there and plunder some food and money, we can help our soldiers survive. Taking Cao County will also be a way of giving an account to the King of Huainan."

Li Xuanji nodded; this was the only option now.

He still can't believe that a little girl could have driven him to such a desperate situation!

When the guards at the west gate of Qinghe County discovered that Miss Su had returned, they opened the gate and let her in.

Miss Su was still riding the dark, grizzly beast, followed by a large, dark brown bear.

But the big brown bear, with many arrows stuck in its rump, looked like a giant hedgehog, yet it was quite happy. No wonder Miss Su named this guy Xiong Hanhan (Humble Bear), it really was silly.

Moreover, the way this bear walks is different from before it left the city; now it lies on the ground and walks very carefully.

Su Qianqian returned to the backyard of Gu's restaurant and saw Xiangming waiting in the yard.

Xiangming was relieved to find that the injured person was Xiong Hanhan, not the girl.

Bears are tough and resilient, so ordinary arrows cannot cause them any real harm.

"The girl is back. I'll go get some hot water right now."

"Xiangming, I love you."

Xiangming blushed.

Su Qianqian removed the arrow from Xiong Hanhan's body, used the spiritual spring water in her space to wash Xiong Hanhan's wounds, and then simply washed up and went to sleep.

Because I went to bed late, I didn't wake up until noon the next day.

Master Zhang, acting as a strategist, personally came to report the latest situation: "Miss Su, the enemy has withdrawn, and our Qinghe County is safe."

Su Qianqian nodded. Qinghe County was safe, but those nearly 10,000 troops would most likely set their sights on weaker small counties.

"Master Zhang, which is the smallest and weakest county town near Qinghe County?"

"Miss Su, this is Cao County."

"Have someone keep an eye on the situation near Cao County and report back immediately."

"receive."

In the capital, Emperor Qi Jing lost his temper during the morning court session.

Now, with the Imperial Guard and newly recruited soldiers numbering nearly 30,000, he wanted to personally lead an expedition to the border to fight against the northern barbarians, but this was opposed by all the ministers.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't! The border is dangerous!"

"Your Majesty, it would be better to cede territory and pay reparations to the Northern Barbarians than to have more cities suffer. This is for the sake of the people."

Emperor Qi Jing was so angry that his hands trembled. Listen to what his ministers were saying, making the cession of territory and payment of reparations sound so noble, claiming it was for the sake of the people.

Prime Minister Feng was even more direct. Holding his jade tablet, he knelt in the Xuanwu Hall and suggested, "Your Majesty, why not send the princess there for a marriage alliance to forge a bond between our two countries? This is what the Great Chu Dynasty did more than three hundred years ago."

Emperor Qi Jing was so angry that he slammed his fist heavily on the dragon throne.

The dragon throne was made of gold, and it was completely undamaged after taking a punch from Emperor Qi Jing.

Emperor Qi Jing gritted his teeth and said, "I am not a foolish ruler. I do not need to sacrifice women to achieve peace. Besides, I have no princesses."

Prime Minister Feng remained kneeling in the center of the hall, saying, "Your Majesty, the Great Chu Dynasty did not marry off a real princess, but instead bestowed another princess upon them."

Before Emperor Qi Jing could speak, the ministers began discussing the selection of a successor.

After careful consideration, everyone realized that Princess Zhaohua of the Duke of Anguo's mansion was of a very suitable age and already held the status of a princess, so it was reasonable to bestow upon her the title of princess.

Duke Anguo was almost driven to his death by anger.

When he got home, he immediately told his wife and daughter about the infuriating incident.

Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaohua took the initiative to say, "I have enjoyed the wealth and glory that comes with being a princess, so naturally I have to pay a price. Father, Mother, I am willing to go for a marriage alliance. As long as it can bring peace, it is worth it."

Princess Zhaohua spoke of righteousness, but she was still aggrieved in her heart.

I went back to my room and cried all night; my eyes were swollen like peaches.

The next day, Prime Minister Feng brought up the matter of a marriage alliance again in court.

"Your Majesty, the situation is currently turbulent, and the Prince of Huainan is advancing with unstoppable momentum. We should first deal with external threats and then pacify internal affairs in order to preserve the foundation of the Great Qi Dynasty, which has lasted for hundreds of years. Please send someone to the Northern Barbarian King's court to discuss the matter of the princess's marriage."

The ministers had even chosen who to send for the peace talks.

Suddenly, an urgent report arrived, covering an area of ​​800 li (approximately 400 kilometers).

Report: The army of the King of Huainan suffered heavy losses in Qinghe County.

A smile finally appeared on Emperor Qi Jing's face, which had been gloomy and sullen for several days.
