Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Late at night in Qincheng, the soldiers guarding the city looked up at the night sky, watching the stars twinkling, and felt the chill.

The weather is getting colder, but the military salaries and winter clothes from the court have not yet been distributed.

They were so cold that they huddled together and kept rubbing their hands to keep warm.

The silent night is long and hard to endure.

A soldier guarding the city took out a bottle of wine from his arms, took a sip, and then handed it to his companion, "Ergou, come, have a sip of wine to warm your body."

Ergou was very happy, "Thank you, brother Jun, it's so comfortable to have a drink on a cold winter night."

After drinking the strong liquor, my whole body felt hot.

Ergou returned the bottle and looked at him, "Brother Jun, aren't you cold wearing so little?"

Jun lifted up the corner of his shirt, revealing his underwear, and showed off proudly, "It's not cold, your sister-in-law gave me this woolen underwear, it's warm enough."

Ergou touched it and found it soft and warm. His eyes turned red with envy.

"Isn't this the Northwest Army's unique woolen underwear? How did sister-in-law get it?"

The quantity of woolen underwear is small and it is only supplied to the Northwest Army. It is not yet sold on the market.

Jun Ge smiled and said, "My brother-in-law is serving in the Northwest Army. This is a holiday gift from my brother-in-law."

This was more valuable than sending food. He was so happy that he couldn't wait to show it off to his friends.

When the others heard this, they gathered around.

"Wow, it's really warm. I heard that this is very valuable. Only the Princess of Jingning County would be willing to buy such a good thing for her subordinates."

"I'm so envious. I heard that the treatment of the Northwest Army is very good. Is it true?"

Brother Jun said with a smile, "All I know is that they give out eight sets of clothes throughout the year, two white flour buns and four vegetable cakes for each meal, a variety of soups to drink, and a meat dish for lunch."

This is definitely filling.

Ergou's eyes lit up, "Meat dishes?"

Others couldn't help themselves, "Eight sets of clothes? That's too much, we only have two sets a year!"

Jun Ge was also envious. They were both soldiers, but the treatment was very different. "Yes, after autumn, I often drink mutton soup, which is enough to keep me full."

Everyone was drooling as they listened. They ate black-faced steamed buns every day, and they were limited to three, so they could never get full.

Not to mention meat, vegetables and clothes, forget it, the salary has not been paid for half a year.

Jun Ge said with great relish, "It is said that every soldier will be given two boiled eggs to celebrate his birthday. This is an extra subsidy paid by the Princess of Jingning herself."

Everyone cried with envy, "Does everyone have one?"

"Yes, it's the happiest day of the year for them."

"The master of Jingning County is so kind. I am willing to risk my life for such a person."

"Alas, comparing yourself to others makes you angry. I don't ask for eggs, I just want to have a full meal."

"It would be great if our commander was the Princess of Jingning County. Alas, what kind of person is our superior? He only knows how to ask for benefits. If we don't give them, he will make things difficult for us."

It is very important to follow the right person. The commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army is the Princess of Jingning County, who lives a life like a god.

Unlike them, who suffer every day, the superior officer just lets them endure it.

However, those corrupt officials eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, their women wear gold and silver jewelry, and they have a group of slaves.

A clear cough sounded, "Ahem."

Everyone looked back suddenly and were shocked. A tall man appeared out of nowhere and looked at them coldly.

Jun's face turned pale with fear. Did they hear everything? They were just envious, they had no other thoughts! Right! They didn't intend to betray me!

He mustered up the courage to ask, "Commander Chen, why are you here?"

Lieutenant General Chen was a man of real ability, but he was aloof and did not know how to flatter others, so he was not given any important responsibilities. He had to do all the hard and tiring work, including the late-night patrols.

Admiral Chen frowned slightly, "Watch closely, don't be lazy."

"Yes." Jun Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the matter was over.

Brigadier General Chen turned around and walked to the other side, sighing silently in his heart, it was the Ning family army again.

Suddenly, he stopped and listened, then bent down and put his ear to the ground to listen carefully.

"Da da da." It was the sound of horse hooves, and there were quite a few of them.

"Oh no, it's an enemy attack, everyone be alert."

Everyone was shocked and said, "Hurry up and warn the police."

Amid the billowing dust and smoke, a mighty army appeared before our eyes, getting closer and closer. The cavalry galloped, their spears as sharp as frost, their armor strong and their swords sharp, with an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.

The soldiers guarding the city trembled with fear, broke out in cold sweats, and ran back to sound the alarm.

Jun suddenly said loudly, "Wait a minute, what's written on that flag?"

Brigadier General Chen stared at it in amazement. There was a big word "Ning" written on the flag.

"It's the Ning family army!" Why are they here? Who is the leader?

The army gradually moved forward, with the commander's flag flying high.

"Who are you? Tell me your name. What do you want to do here so late at night?"

The crowd gathered around a woman who was riding a horse. The woman was wearing a hooded cloak. She lifted the hood to reveal a white face and said loudly, "I am the commander of the Northwest Army, Ning Zhiwei. I am ordered by the emperor to go to the capital to defend the king. Please open the city gate quickly and let us pass through to the capital."

There was an uproar at the scene. She was the famous Commander Ning? She actually brought her troops here in person!

Brigadier General Chen stared at her, but it was too dark to see clearly.

He didn't dare to let anyone in rashly.

"Commander Ning, according to the rules of our dynasty, a curfew is imposed at night and the army cannot enter or leave the city late at night."

The General who Conquers the West just passed by here a few days ago on his way back to the capital to serve the king. Unexpectedly, the Ning family army also received the call.

It can be seen that the situation in the capital has reached its worst point. When will this chaotic era of separatism end? If it continues like this, the people will soon die.

Who can end this chaos?

"So, I can't let you in."

Ning Zhiwei was not angry, "Who are you?"

Lieutenant General Chen was silent for a while, "The local garrison commander, Chen Jiaqi."

Ning Zhiwei raised his voice and said, "Commander Chen, it was you who didn't let us enter the city. If this delays the court's important affairs, the responsibility will be all yours."

This responsibility was too great. Admiral Chen felt nervous. "Commander Ning, I will go to the prefect to report this matter. Please wait."

He left in a hurry and didn't come back for a long time.

The soldiers defending the city were no longer afraid. They stared curiously at the Ning family army, which was said to be very powerful in fighting. They didn't have three heads and six arms.

Ergou looked at me for a long time with sparkling eyes, and suddenly said, "Commander Ning, I want to surrender to you, will you accept me?"

Everyone looked over at once, traitor! You are the only one who can do this, you are the only one who has a mouth, right? It seems that they are not brave enough.

Ergou was very nervous and swallowed his saliva, "Coach Ning, I just admire your style, it's definitely not for a meat meal."

Everyone: ...Get lost! If you hadn't said the last sentence, I would have believed it.
