The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

The urgent report arrived just in time.

In Qinghe County, someone actually led the people to repel the rebel army!

Indeed, every generation produces new talents!

I'm very curious which hero turned the tide?

The ministers attending the morning court were all very excited and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! Congratulations on the acquisition of such a capable general!"

The ministers guessed that the man who led the troops to repel the King of Huainan must be a brave warrior, a hero, a great man, who might one day be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the God of War, General Xin.

Emperor Jing of Qi laughed heartily.

After waiting for so long, we finally have some good news.

He looked out of the palace. The snow that had been falling for several days had finally stopped, and the sun had finally come out, sweeping away the gloom.

Emperor Jing of Qi received the urgent letter delivered from 800 li away and read it carefully from beginning to end.

The letter said that Miss Su from Gu's Restaurant led more than a thousand villagers and used simple wooden weapons to repel ten thousand soldiers of the King of Huainan.

It turns out that Miss Su not only knows how to grow flowers and make flower tea, but also how to lead troops into battle!

Emperor Qi Jing sighed deeply. It was a pity that she was a woman. He had originally planned to appoint her as a fifth-rank general, but he had to give up on that idea.

If women were to be appointed to official positions, the ministers would surely remonstrate against it even at the cost of their lives.

But this defeat of the rebels is undoubtedly great news. As long as one county can defeat the rebel army of the King of Huainan, the confidence of other cities will be boosted, and it is very likely that the current unfavorable situation can be reversed.

Prime Minister Feng knelt ramrod straight: "Your Majesty, the marriage alliance must be arranged as soon as possible..."

Emperor Qi Jing took the teapot from the eunuch Fu Gonggong, walked down the steps, and splashed a pot of hot tea on Prime Minister Feng's face.

"Hehehe, I'm not talking to you at all."

When Duke Anguo saw Emperor Qi Jing pour hot tea on Prime Minister Feng, he felt very pleased.

Now that His Majesty has clearly expressed his opposition to the marriage alliance, Zhaohua will no longer have to marry into the barbarian tribe.

Emperor Qi Jing pointed at Prime Minister Feng's nose and said, "That Miss Su didn't even have any weapons, yet she led just over a thousand villagers and repelled the King of Huainan's ten thousand elite troops. Prime Minister Feng, how dare you propose a marriage alliance!"

"Does our Great Qi Dynasty have no men left? Must we sacrifice women to buy peace!"

The letter stated that over a hundred soldiers from Qinghe County also participated in the battle, but Emperor Qi Jing automatically ignored those pitifully few soldiers.

Emperor Jing's words were like a storm in the hearts of his ministers.

They thought it was some powerful warrior who led the troops to repel the King of Huainan's army, but they didn't expect it to be a little girl.

This little girl is quite bold! She dared to fight against 10,000 elite rebel soldiers with only a little over a thousand villagers! And she even managed to drive the rebels away.

If there were more girls like this, the Prince of Huainan would be no threat, and the Qi dynasty would be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, our Great Qi is truly blessed with a wealth of talented individuals."

When Duke Anguo heard that it was Miss Su from Qinghe County, he was very surprised.

Good heavens! Miss Su actually repelled the elite troops of the King of Huainan! That's amazing!

His daughter has made a very impressive friend.

Prime Minister Feng was unconvinced. The girl surnamed Su must have had some incredible luck; she drove away the King of Huainan's army with just over a thousand villagers!

This news sounds very unreliable. Could it be that the enemy set a trap and deliberately retreated?

In Prime Minister Feng's mind, a marriage alliance was the best solution, as it would allow the Northern Barbarians to help send troops to suppress the King of Huainan.

At that time, how could we not destroy the King of Huainan!

Emperor Qi Jing was most worried about the people on the border. If the northern barbarians were to capture another city, another city would be massacred.

He looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and asked, "The Imperial Guards and newly conscripted soldiers together number 30,000. Which general do you recommend I send to lead these 30,000 troops to support the border?"

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Since the death of General Xin, the God of War, last year, the Great Qi Dynasty has been without any more generals.

As for whether that Miss Su is very capable, it is difficult to verify in one battle unless she can win battles again and again.

The more crucial issue is that she is a woman, and it is highly illogical to bestow an official title upon a woman.

If that woman were to become a general, the sky would probably fall, and many women would be deeply disturbed.

These officials' private residences are probably not peaceful either. If women can become officials, which woman would be willing to stay in the mansion to serve men and carry on the family line?

Prime Minister Feng: "Your Majesty, the matter of leading troops to support the border is of utmost importance. Please allow us to discuss it in detail."

Emperor Qi Jing snorted, flicked his bright yellow sleeves, and left.

In his hoarse voice, Eunuch Fu shouted, "Dismiss the court!"

Duke Anguo was finally relieved and returned to his residence to share the latest news.

"Miss Su won a battle and repelled the army of the Prince of Huainan, so His Majesty completely rejected the proposal of a marriage alliance."

Princess Zhaohua wept with joy.

I really hope that I can be as brave as that Miss Su and protect the people of this area.

She had corresponded with Miss Su many times, but unfortunately she had never met Miss Su in person, and she really, really wanted to meet her.

The Duchess clasped her hands together and said, "This time, we are once again grateful to Miss Su from Gu's family. Miss Su is our lucky star. She has saved us from so many calamities. We must thank Miss Su properly."

Duke Anguo nodded; he also felt he should express his gratitude properly.

"The situation in Qinghe County is unstable right now, so it's not convenient to send anything there. Zhaohua, didn't you say that Miss Su just opened Gu's Tea House? Why don't you send the gifts there? They should be able to contact Miss Su."

In the Gu's Teahouse in the capital, Xu Ruoxian and Gu Ying, who had just received a letter from Qinghe County, never stopped smiling.

Xu Ruoxuan was filled with pride. "Second sister-in-law, I told you long ago, don't worry, Miss Su is no ordinary person."

Leading over a thousand farmers to defeat more than ten thousand elite soldiers—this is something no one could have done, but Miss Su accomplished it.

Xu Ruoxuan grew up in the General of the Cavalry's mansion and was skilled in martial arts. She especially wanted to return to Qinghe County to fight alongside Miss Su.

Zhang, the Imperial Academy's Chancellor, was also concerned about the war. When he learned that someone had finally repelled the rebel army of the Prince of Huainan, he was overjoyed and decided to be generous and invite the Grand Master of Ceremonies to the teahouse for tea and snacks.

As the two stepped into Gu's Tea House, the storyteller was recounting the heroic deeds of Miss Su from Qinghe County in resisting the enemy army—

"The female general, riding a great white tiger, shot and killed General Wang, the beast-taming genius under the command of the King of Huainan, with a single arrow. The enemy army fled in terror at the mere mention of her name..."

The storyteller's clappers clanged rhythmically, "Left Azure Dragon, Right White Tiger, Above Vermilion Bird, Below Black Tortoise, the Great White Tiger is one of the Four Divine Beasts, yet it is as docile as a kitten in front of Miss Su..."

The customers in the teahouse listened with great interest. As citizens of the Great Qi, who wouldn't worry about the country? Naturally, they were happy and excited to hear the news of Qinghe County's victory.

Therefore, all the guests remembered one person, and that was the great heroine of the time, Miss Su from Qinghe County.

The Grand Master of Ceremonies and the Grand Master of the Imperial Sacrifices heard the storyteller's words clearly. They exchanged a glance, both looking surprised.

It turns out that the female general's mount was a white tiger. How amazing!

A young girl leading a disorganized group of farmers to defeat ten times the number of elite rebel soldiers is simply a myth!

The chief priest stood in front of the counter and praised Xu Ruofeng, "Manager Xu, the young ladies of your Qinghe County are truly remarkable! There are genius painters and female generals."

Xu Ruofeng nodded, "The female general is a genius painter, and also the owner of our Gu Ji restaurant."

The Grand Master stood there dumbfounded. What? It was the same person!

The female general is actually the owner of Gu's Teahouse!

This young lady is not only good at business, but also a genius painter! She also knows how to lead troops into battle and can even defeat a large number of enemies with a small force. She makes us weak scholars feel ashamed of ourselves.

If the Imperial Academy could accept women, he would definitely recruit that Miss Su through a special program.

I really want to see if that Miss Su has three heads and six arms.

As the top administrator of the Imperial Academy, the Grand Master of Ceremonies immediately made a surprising decision: all students must emulate Miss Su and cultivate both literary and martial arts skills.

"Chancellor Zhang, go and find a master with high martial arts skills. Starting tomorrow, have that master teach the students martial arts. Studying is important, but learning martial arts to protect our country is also very important."
