Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Several lieutenants of Prince Haldir argued non-stop, "I think it's fake, don't believe it."

"Abu was fighting for his last breath and died before he could finish his words. It's hard to say whether this information is true or false."

"I think it's true, no problem. If it were me, I would also deploy the defense in this way. Look at this position, and this position, they are all very sophisticated layouts. This ability is far above that of other generals. If there is no accident, this deployment was made by the Princess of Jingning County herself."

"Second Prince, what do you think?"

Prince Halder stared at the defense map again and again, with countless thoughts running through his mind.

He asked himself, if he were to deploy the defense, he wouldn't be able to do it so meticulously.

"It should be from Ning Zhiwei's hand."

The deputy general was overjoyed, "Is that true? Great, we can break this plan in advance."

The Second Prince felt uneasy. Ning Zhiwei's thoughts were too complicated and unpredictable. "Let me think about it again."

Several deputy generals were so anxious that they jumped up and down. "Second Prince, don't hesitate any longer. The king has urged us again and again and is very dissatisfied with our progress."

"If you don't win the first prize and earn enough chips for the future succession, it will be difficult in the future."

The second prince looked extremely unhappy, as if his face was sinking into water. He only had one chance.

This time he tried every possible means to grab the position of commander-in-chief, and he was determined to break through the northwestern border, capture the Ning family, make great contributions, and accumulate enough prestige.

But in the first battle, he was blocked by Ning Zhiwei and could not take a single step forward.

He urgently needs a big win to restore everyone's confidence in him.

Now, the person who delivered the information is dead. It is really hard to judge. His opponent is the extremely powerful Ning Zhiwei.

He hesitated for a long time and did not dare to believe it completely. He launched night attacks every night to disrupt the morale of the Ning family army.

However, after a few days, the Ning family army was in high spirits, waiting for the opportunity to tire themselves out, and took turns guarding the city.

On the contrary, their own troops were extremely tired and lacked energy during the day.

The subordinate hurried over and said, "Second Prince, the king sent a letter saying that if we can't take Licheng within three days, then..."

The second prince's expression changed, "What?"

The subordinate said cautiously, "Dismiss him from his post, investigate, and replace him with a new commander."

The second prince was so angry that his mouth was crooked. What did the people behind him know?

Only those who fought on the front lines knew how tough this bone was to chew. Ning Zhiwei's defense was watertight and full of tricks, and no one could cross the line.

Is it that he doesn't want to win?

He was just waiting, waiting for definite news.

No, the wait has finally come, "The spy is back."

The spy was brought before the Second Prince, his eyes sparkling, "Reporting to the Second Prince, there is indeed a small path over there on Chess Mountain that can lead directly to the back of Li City."

The deputy general was overjoyed. The news was correct. There was indeed an unknown path in the mountains that led directly to the rear of Li City, catching them off guard.

The deputy generals were delighted, "Second Prince, it's true, don't waste time, hurry up."

The second prince's eyes were filled with joy, and he decisively ordered, "Rest well tonight, eat and drink well, and the army will set out tomorrow. Leave one team behind to cook as usual to provide cover."

"Yes."

Ning Zhiwei patrolled the city defenses tirelessly every day. The Ning family army under her command had strict military discipline and was not allowed to harass the civilians, so the civilians were not afraid of the soldiers all over the city.

Although the enemy is approaching, the people still have to do what they are supposed to do. They still have to eat. With the Princess of Jingning County in person, nothing serious will happen.

She looked around and found everything was in order.

She also went to check on the orphanage. Since Liu Feifei took over, the orphanage has been cleaned very well and every child has been washed clean. It is no longer dirty.

At this moment, a group of children are washing wool, and another group of children are using special techniques to remove the smell and drying it in the sun.

A group of children were combing wool, and another group of children were busy sitting on a clean blanket.

Many of the furniture and items confiscated from the brothel were sent to the orphanage.

Ning Zhiwei watched them use two needles to pick up a dime and quickly weave it into a piece of woolen fabric.

Liu Feifei was busy ordering the kids around. When she turned around, she saw Ning Zhiwei standing at the door. She immediately picked up a finished product and stood up. "Jingning County Lady, you've come just in time. Come and take a look at this finished product."

Ning Zhiwei took the finished product and touched it. It was soft and warm to the touch. It was not fine enough, but it was enough for the soldiers to wear.

"Very good. This woolen sweater is suitable for wearing under a cotton coat. It is close-fitting and warm."

This was the task that Liu Feifei took the initiative to fight for, to prepare woolen clothes for the 100,000 soldiers for the winter. The workload was quite large, and it was distributed to poor people to do so that they could also make some income.

"Kids, are you tired?"

The children are of different ages, the oldest is fourteen years old and will leave when they turn fifteen.

"We are not tired, County Lady. We will earn money to buy rice and flour."

Liu Feifei quickly explained, "County Lady, I didn't abuse them. I divided them into different groups according to their age, strength and ability, and asked them to do things within their ability. Although they were not paid, they had white flour steamed buns for every meal. I tried to give each of them a woolen coat and a thick cotton coat this year, and all the quilts were replaced with new ones."

In the midst of a war, there were too many places to spend money, so the money allocated by the government could only allow the orphans to eat half their fill.

She thought, since she was just sitting there doing nothing, she might as well take on a job to keep everyone busy. This would not only improve the environment, but she could also learn a skill so that she could gain a foothold in the future.

Ning Zhiwei nodded. "You've done a good job of teaching people how to fish instead of giving them the fish."

Let children do things within their ability, have a common goal, and work together. This will reduce a lot of friction and also help them develop good living habits and correct outlook on life.

Liu Feifei's eyebrows curved, "County Princess, you..."

Xia Sheng hurried in, "My Lord, there is news."

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him, then turned to look at Liu Feifei, "Work hard, and go find Shengxia if you encounter any problems."

"Ok."

Ning Zhiwei turned and left. Liu Feifei looked at her receding figure and sighed softly. She had to work harder.

Xia Sheng said softly, "My lord, the fish has been hooked."

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly, Prince Hadir, no matter how cunning you are as a fox, you will eventually fall into my trap.

On Qizi Mountain, on the winding and steep plank road, a group of soldiers walked with difficulty, one step deep and one step shallow, feeling tired and hungry.

Prince Halder was walking in the middle, feeling nervous for some reason.

"stop."

Everyone stopped and the deputy general asked curiously, "Second Prince, what's wrong?"

Prince Haldir frowned, "I have a very bad feeling. Let's take a break for now and let me think about it."

Go back? Or keep going? He was in a difficult struggle...
