After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Susu straightened his expression and said seriously, "Since you already know my identity, I won't hide it from you. I am indeed the Crown Princess. You also heard what General Xiao said just now. Do you know what to do?"

Chen Hu was stunned for a long time, and didn't seem to know what to do.

She was helpless and spread her hands: "Have you ever seen a crown princess with unkempt hair, hungry, and living in a woodshed?"

Chen Hu finally understood, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes! I will go and arrange a room and food for the Crown Princess!"

Nian Susu nodded with satisfaction and walked forward a few steps, ready to pick up Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhi. Suddenly she thought of something, so she stopped and turned back to warn, "By the way, don't reveal my identity to anyone. Just call me Miss Nian in front of outsiders."

"Yes."

On the third day after Nian Susu arrived in Qingshan City, the Northern Wei army launched an attack on Qingshan City. Because they thought that the people in the city were all old, weak, sick and disabled and had no ability to resist, they sent 5,000 people with long swords to attack the city gate head-on.

Unexpectedly, before they got close, the city gates opened wide, and well-trained soldiers in armor holding swords swarmed out, killing them without leaving a single piece of armor. They fled in panic, and almost all 5,000 people died outside the gate of Qingshan City.

Although it was only a small-scale attack, the leader was the main general of the Northern Wei army, Nangong Haoya. He led the charge to kill Liuli and boost the morale of the Northern Wei army, but he didn't expect to end up fleeing in embarrassment.

There were 5,000 people when they left, but only 200 were left when they came back. They protected Nangong Haoya in the middle and returned to the camp.

Major General Dongfang Xuying, who was waiting for the victory report, froze when he saw Nangong Haoya storm into his tent in anger.

He stared at Nangong Haoya, who was wrapped in anger, and stammered, "Commander, what...what's going on?"

Nangong Haoya took three steps forward without saying anything, grabbed his collar, and punched him twice in the face.

Dongfang Xuying was stunned and his eyes were dazed, but his body reacted subconsciously and raised his hand. Nangong Haoya became even angrier, let go of his hand, took a step back, and kicked him in the chest.

Dongfang Xuying flew out and hit the table with a "bang". The table broke into pieces and she lay on the ground, holding her chest in pain.

"Commander-in-chief, what happened?" Dongfang Xuying had a line of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still did not forget to ask about the main business.

There was a commotion outside the tent. Dongfang Xuying felt that something was wrong and looked at Nangong Haoya with a guilty look.

"Humph! You still have the nerve to ask me!"

"Didn't you deal with that Liuli prince and make him promise not to send troops to support us?"

"Why are there so many soldiers hiding in Qingshan City? They killed all 5,000 of our elite soldiers!"

Nangong Haoya's forehead was bulging with veins, and he clenched his fists again. The first battle ended in failure, how could he face his own soldiers! It was said that they would break through Yanmen Pass and go straight to Shengjing without any obstacles, but they stumbled in Qingshan City. Nangong Haoya's anger was enough to burn the entire camp.

He had no place to vent his accumulated resentment, so he directed it at Dongfang Xuying.

Dongfang Xuying was also surprised. Qingshan City was heavily guarded?

But the information Qin Zehai gave him was that he hid Liuli's last 50,000 elite soldiers in Liangcheng. As long as they broke through Qingshan City and took a detour through Liangcheng, they would not engage in a head-on confrontation.

Could it be that Qin Zehai had deceived him? Had he set up an ambush in Qingshan City in advance to catch them off guard?

When Dongfang Xuying thought of this possibility, her anger rose rapidly.

But he knew Qin Zehai's ambition. He might turn against them and break the agreement with the Northern Wei, but he would never help Emperor Liuli fight the Northern Wei.

Because his goal was to use the Northern Wei to eliminate all obstacles that would prevent him from ascending the throne.

Therefore, the person in Qingshan City is most likely not Qin Zehai.

Dongfang Xuying wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, supported herself on the ground and stood up, looking at Nangong Haoya calmly, "Commander-in-chief, I don't think things are as simple as we thought."

“I’m sure Qin Zehai won’t help Liuli defend the city.”

Nangong Haoya gradually calmed down, and after reason prevailed, he thought of many different things.

He and Xiao Jianting had fought head-on many times. The fighting style of the Liuli army was completely different from the army from Qingshan City that fought back against them today. Moreover, when he fled back to the camp, he looked back at the city wall and seemed to see a familiar person, but he could not see it clearly and could not make a conclusion.

If it really is that person, then they are in danger...

Nangong Haoya's face was solemn. Dongfang Xuying thought he had thought of something and asked anxiously, "Captain, have you guessed who is leading the troops in Qingshan City?"

Nangong Haoya pondered for a moment and shook his head, "First, find a way to get in touch with that Liuli Prince and test his attitude to see if you can get any useful information."

Dongfang Xuying obeyed the order.

Nangong Haoya waved his sleeves and left.

Castle Peak.

General Xiao held a celebration banquet in his temporary residence to celebrate their victory and also to give the soldiers who had been working hard and dormant for more than a month a chance to enjoy some meat.

Nian Susu sat opposite Chen Hu. From the corner of her eye, she saw Chen Hu stealing glances at her from time to time. His eyes were very different from before, and it seemed that he was still brooding over that incident.

Chen Yong slapped Chen Hu on the thigh and whispered, "Brother! Even if the Crown Princess is as beautiful as a fairy, you can't peek at her like this! She's the Crown Prince's person!"

Chen Yong was really afraid that his elder brother would do something stupid.

But he could understand Chen Hu very well, because Nian Susu had taken off her refugee makeup and dressed up simply. Now her every move was elegant, and she was so beautiful that people were breathtaking and couldn't take their eyes off her.

The two girls around Nian Susu were not bad looking, but their temperament was a little lacking. They looked around cautiously and timidly, not as confident as Nian Susu.

Chen Hu clicked his tongue and shouted angrily, "What are you thinking about!"

"I was just wondering...why did the Crown Princess follow the Crown Prince to Liangcheng?"

"Besides... isn't it too dangerous to let three girls run around in the war?"

"That day when the Crown Princess stopped me at the city gate, I swung my sword and almost...almost hurt her!"

Chen Hu now feels scared when he talks about it and breaks out in a cold sweat.

Chen Yong frowned, "I don't know, I'll ask Brother Xiao when the time comes."

"Go away." Chen Hu nudged his arm, and his disgusted expression showed that he did not agree with this plan.

The celebration banquet was not large in scale. Except for two deputy generals and three staff officers, no one else was invited.

It was said to be a celebration banquet, but in fact it was an occasion to discuss subsequent strategies to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Nian Susu, Xiaozhi and Xiaoning did not understand military affairs, so they did not participate and just focused on working hard.
