As they worked, they envisioned a better life in the future. They believed that under the guidance of the goddess, this canyon would undergo earth-shaking changes.

As time goes by, the construction of the road is gradually coming to an end. The protective nets are erected closely on both sides of the road, providing solid protection for pedestrians. The cement road surface is flat and smooth, like a broad road leading to happiness.

The workers' efforts were rewarded, and they looked at the results they had built with their own hands, and their hearts were filled with pride and satisfaction. This difficult construction process not only allowed them to learn new skills, but also gave them confidence in the future.

Soon, this road will welcome more people to witness the prosperity and development of the canyon. All of this is inseparable from the hard work of everyone and the careful guidance of the goddess.

An Chen and Xu Zhen divided the people in the space into three groups and assigned them to three border defense camps. Before this, they had received the news sent by the prince and had already made corresponding arrangements. When these people arrived, they were able to properly accommodate everyone who came.

The personnel handover went very smoothly. In just one day, the three border defense camps completed all the handover tasks. The last stop was the Northern Frontier Defense Camp. The other brothers were busy with their own things, leaving An Jie alone. Time flies, and a month passes in a flash. At this moment, he deeply felt that he was fooled by An Chen, because An Chen asked him to lead the team to explore for oil, but he could not find any trace of oil mines. In the past month, he and his men have traveled to every corner of Northern Xinjiang, but in the end, they found nothing.

Now, he watched the ten secret guards and Chen Xu flying freely in the sky on a helicopter with An Chen and Xu Zhen, and his heart was filled with extreme envy!

"Achen, you are so infuriating! I came here from thousands of miles away to escape my marriage, but in the end, you treated me as free labor and left me alone to have fun!" Anjie accused angrily.

An Chen retorted innocently, "We are all sensible people, so let's not beat around the bush. When you came to me, you just wanted to help me. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of you, I'm giving it all to you! Why don't you appreciate it?"

Hearing this, An Jie was furious. He said angrily: "How can there be such a person as you? You take advantage of others and still act like a good boy!"

"Then tell me, what have you done in the past month?" An Chen asked curiously.

"What else can I do? I have to take people around to look for oil every day! Look at my legs, they are almost broken from running!" Anjie complained while rubbing his calves.

An Chen laughed disapprovingly: "Haha, what you said is funny. You don't walk on your own legs, so even if your legs are thin, they are just the horse's legs. Besides, don't we all run outside all day long?"

"You...you are simply making far-fetched arguments! How can we be the same?" Angel was so angry that he was incoherent.

"What's the difference? It's just that you ride a horse and we take a plane!" An Chen continued to tease.

"Ah! An Chen, you've really gone too far! I've had enough, I want to go back to the capital!" An Jie couldn't bear it anymore and finally exploded.

Seeing that he was really anxious, An Chen lowered his posture and said softly, "Okay, I know you've had a hard time these past few months. Now that Chen Xu has been sent back, let him stay here with you."

"Humph! No way, I want to go back to Beijing."

"That's fine. Anyway, there's nothing particularly important happening in the barracks right now. If you want to go back, go back. Let Chen Xu stay here to guard."

Hearing this, An Jie suddenly became alert and didn't even care about being angry. He repeatedly confirmed with the other party: "What you just said is serious, are you really going to let me return to Beijing?"

"A manly man, once he says something, it's hard to follow him!"

"Great! I'll start packing now. When are you going to leave? I'll go with you."

"It's getting late. Let's get some rest tonight and make a decision based on the specific situation tomorrow."

"Okay, but we have to make it clear in advance. You must take me with you tomorrow. You can't sneak away like you did last time."

"Don't worry, I've never broken my promise. You were so busy losing your temper that you didn't notice that there was one more person on our side."

At this moment, An Jie began to carefully observe the group of people who came with him, and indeed found an extra woman in the crowd. This woman had been standing silently at the end of the team. Because the tall and mighty secret guards in front of her completely blocked her, he did not notice her presence just now.

An Jie stared at the woman for a long time, and felt that her face looked familiar. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he secretly wondered, "Could this woman be Ah Xu's sister, Chen Jing?"

Chen Jing saw An Jie looking at her, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Your servant Chen Jing pays respect to the Crown Prince."

An Jie quickly extended his hand to support her, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and said happily: "Girls really change a lot when they grow up! I almost didn't recognize you after not seeing you for a few years. By the way, since you can now appear in front of everyone openly, does it mean that the things that troubled you and your sister before have been properly dealt with?"

Hearing An Jie's question, Chen Jing did not answer, but turned to look at her brother Chen Xu. Chen Xu took over the conversation and said, "We have already met mother. I believe you have also heard about the things that happened in the capital. Now these things are no longer a big threat to us. Now, my sister has followed the princess and will become a capable assistant to her in the future."

An Jie was envious again. He asked Xu Zhen with expectation, "Sister-in-law, I was not able to attend your wedding. It's such a pity! I heard that the capital was very lively that day. I even asked my father to give all my belongings to you as a gift. Now I am penniless and have nowhere to go after returning to the capital. But you are my sister-in-law, so I can only follow you from now on."

Before Xu Zhen could answer, An Chen jumped out and objected: "You are just dreaming! We will return your things intact and even give you some more. But you want to follow my wife? Don't dream!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. However, An Jie didn't care what An Chen said. He just looked at Xu Zhen with pitiful eyes.

Seeing him like this, Xu Zhen couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Of course it's no problem, I just happen to be short of manpower. But you are a dignified prince, I'm afraid you don't want to do all those things running around. And I don't accept idle people around me. If you feel wronged by then, it will be too late."

An Jie patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I can endure such hardship as practicing martial arts, so other things are even easier for me!"

An Chen looked at him with disdain and said teasingly, "When you go back, aren't you afraid that your father will force you to get married and have children?"

An Jie replied nonchalantly, "My father once wrote me a letter in which he praised you all the time and asked me to follow your example and find a capable and talented wife in the future. Hehe, in that case, I will definitely listen to my father's teachings! It's just that there is only one goddess in the world, my sister-in-law. Even if my father wants to force me, he can't find another goddess!"

An Chen glared at him and said unhappily, "You only know how to talk nonsense with your father and play these word games. If anything goes wrong when you return to the capital, don't blame me for not reminding you, and don't complain and regret it!"

"Brother, don't worry. I am a gentleman after all, and I will never regret it! However, there are some things we still need to make clear. I must follow my sister-in-law!"

An Chen was immediately displeased when he heard this. He frowned and said, "How can that be? You are a man of great stature, a prince of a royal family, how can you stick to my wife like a follower all day long? How can that be acceptable!"

Xu Zhen rarely saw An Chen act like a child, like an old hen protecting food. She felt sweet in her heart. It was so good to be loved and cared for by others all the time!

An Jie looked at Xu Zhen, as if asking for help. He raised his hands and swore a vicious oath to show his loyalty: "I, An Jie, only want to work with the Goddess Sister-in-law. If I have any second thoughts, let the heaven punish me. Heaven will punish me--"

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by An Chen. An Chen said to him helplessly: "You have a sharp vision. You specifically choose the strongest people to cooperate with. You have completely ignored our brotherhood for so many years."

As soon as An Jie heard it, he knew that An Chen had agreed. He ran over excitedly and hugged An Chen, saying, "Thank you, brother, you are so kind!"

An Chen pushed him away with a look of disgust and warned: "Just do your job well. If you make any trouble, I will never let you go!"

"Brother, are you thinking too much? My sister-in-law is a goddess from a foreign land. What kind of trouble can I cause? Besides, I want to experience more treasures from the divine world. How could I offend my sister-in-law, the goddess?"

"You're just like your sister. Almost everything you say is accurate."

"Of course! We are siblings!" The two smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

As they were talking, someone's stomach growled. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet air, and everyone realized that it was already dark. An Chen was about to ask someone to serve the food, but An Jie raised his hand to stop him.

"Brother, we have been busy for a whole month. Although we haven't found oil, we have put in a lot of effort. We finally got the goddess here, so we have to change the taste and improve the food!"

"Didn't you ask them to prepare dinner?" An Chen asked with a frown.

"Hehe, yes, everyone is looking forward to having a good meal!" Angel scratched his head and laughed.

Xu Zhen looked helpless, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Look at what time it is now? Everyone must be starving..."

Anjie explained sheepishly: "The light is so bright that I can't feel the passage of time at all. I thought it was still daylight outside."

An Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So it's our fault? We provided you with such a bright light?"

An Jie realized that he had said the wrong thing, and lowered his head in shame and remained silent. Xu Zhen stood up and said to everyone, "This is not a big deal, everyone doesn't need to be too nervous. Let's go, let's fill the soldiers' stomachs first."

Then, they walked out of the tent together. The lights installed high above emitted bright light, illuminating the entire military camp as bright as day. The soldiers lined up in neat rows, their eyes revealing pity and expectation, waiting quietly.

Xu Zhen felt distressed and helpless. She said to the soldiers earnestly, "When you encounter problems in the future, you must send someone to report. You are the ones who suffer from waiting like this! Each of your time is extremely precious. Please remember that if a similar situation occurs again, you must report it first. Regardless of whether the superior approves or not, at least you can get a clear answer. It is meaningless to keep waiting blindly like this, which will only waste your energy and time. Soldiers should respect their superiors, but they must not be afraid of them. We have worked together for many years and should be as close as brothers to each other. Whether it is official or private, as long as there is a problem, we can discuss and solve it together. As the saying goes, 'three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang'."

Many soldiers present were deeply moved, and their hearts were filled with emotion and admiration. Every time the goddess appeared, she would bring them new understanding and feelings. Although she is now a princess, she has no airs at all, and always puts the soldiers in an important position in her heart. She not only pays attention to the problems faced by the soldiers, but also sincerely wants to help them solve their difficulties.

Xu Zhen looked at the group of loyal and tenacious soldiers in front of him, his heart full of emotion. He said loudly: "Dear brothers, you have all worked hard in the past month! According to the old rules, everyone can order whatever they like! Is it still the old three things? Barbecue, big white steamed buns with delicious broth?"

At this time, a soldier raised his hand high and answered loudly: "Princess, we don't know what other food is more delicious, but we think the unique aroma of barbecue is unforgettable!"

Xu Zhen responded with a smile: "Don't worry, once our living conditions improve, you will be able to eat delicious barbecue at any time. And not only barbecue, there will be many more delicious foods waiting for you!" Her words made the soldiers have a vision and confidence in a better life in the future.
