The shock Wang Hai had experienced in his entire life was not as great as in the past few days.

This group of civil servants completely overturned all of Wang Hai's stereotypes. Originally, when marching and fighting, people either walked or rode horses, and the only people who could use carriages were those who carried food and supplies and drove the carriages.

Now that a group of civil servants have suddenly arrived, Wang Hai really can't get so many carriages together.

He came here to discuss this matter with Lord Xiao. What he didn't expect was that Lord Xiao didn't even frown and said it was okay and they could just follow behind and walk slowly.

The only requirement for the trip was that Wang Hai send a few soldiers to help them carry the memorials.

Wang Hai never dreamed that the adults would actually want him to carry these documents weighing dozens of kilograms and march with the heavy load.

Even though Wang Hai said he could send someone to help carry the things, the adults just needed to travel light.

However, Lord Xiao said that those who were old and unable to carry the load could have someone help them, and the other ministers should be responsible for their own paperwork.

At first, Wang Hai thought that the ministers would definitely have objections to Lord Xiao's proposal, but he didn't expect that the ministers all looked as if it was a matter of course.

When the ministers followed Yao Chuguang to escape, the memorials and documents were initially carried by soldiers. However, they disappeared while running, or they were lost while running.

I don’t know if Yao Chuguang had the ability to predict the future, but when Lord Xiao reported that the memorial was lost, Yao Chuguang took out a dozen blank memorials.

Xiao Ge Lao still hasn't forgotten it. Yao Chuguang smiled and placed the memorial in his hand, saying, "It's okay! I brought a blank memorial. If you lose your ministers' inner garments later, they can also be written on. As long as they are stamped with the imperial seal, even a piece of rag can be turned into an imperial edict."

From that day on, memorials became the lifeblood of the ministers, and they had to be protected even when they were asleep.

The conditions are better now, but what if the army is attacked and the memorials and documents are lost?

That heartless guy won't say anything excusable, he will just ask you why you didn't rewrite it after you lost it.

At that time, Lord Xiao suspected that Yao Chuguang had deliberately lost the memorial, but he had no evidence.

If I recite the memorials for others, who knows if Yao Chuguang will send people to cause trouble? That kind of unscrupulous thing has done a lot of times.

At noon, Wang Hai specially asked the cook to prepare a good meal for the ministers, which ended up delaying the meal for some time.

When it was lunchtime, Lord Xiao did not send anyone to ask, and Wang Hai thought that the ministers were so busy that they forgot the time.

When Wang Hai and the cook brought the food over, it was definitely an unforgettable scene.

Lord Xiao and the ministers held bowls and chopsticks, some of them mixed in with the ordinary soldiers, lined up to get their meals, and then squatted on the ground and started eating without any scruples.

At that moment, Wang Hai's throat seemed to be blocked, sour and astringent.

Damn it, how come this group of people are so down-to-earth that I feel like I’m the abnormal one.

Wang Hai was at a loss as to what to do as he carried the dishes. He seemed to have done something wrong, but he didn't know what to do.

Suddenly I felt someone patting my shoulder, and when I turned around I saw it was Yan Mingzhe.

The sudden appearance of Xiao Ge Lao and his group to get food naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers.

But in the military camp, as long as it is time for meals, everyone can come and get food without any division or anything.

Although all the cooks who served the meals felt it was strange, they did not say anything and served meals to Lord Xiao and the ministers.

A soldier bravely approached Elder Xiao and asked, "Are you migrant workers?"

Xiao Ge Lao paused while eating, turned to look at the soldier and said, "No! I am a first-rank minister of the current dynasty."

The soldier's eyes widened as he said, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why lie to me? If you were an official, I would be the commander-in-chief."

Lord Xiao did not explain and just lowered his head to continue eating.

Yan Mingzhe walked over to Elder Xiao with the food in his hand and squatted down, saying, "Mr. Xiao, would you like some more dishes?"

After taking a look, Xiao Ge Lao took it and picked up a piece of meat for himself, then handed it to the soldier who had been staring at him eagerly and said, "Share it with everyone."

The soldier immediately took it with a smile, picked up a large chopstick for himself, and then handed the bowl to the person next to him and said, "Now I believe you are a high-ranking official."

Elder Xiao was not annoyed but asked seriously, "Why?"

The soldier took a big bite of meat with satisfaction and said, "Because only high-ranking officials who are used to eating meat would be willing to share the meat."

Elder Xiao smiled, a rare smile, and said, "There will be in the future."

The soldier suddenly thought of something and asked, "Since you are an official, have you ever seen the empress?"

Elder Xiao nodded to indicate that he had seen her. The soldier immediately asked excitedly, "Is it true that the Empress is as beautiful as a fairy?"

Elder Xiao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is gifted with intelligence and foresight, a rare talent in the world, but his appearance..."

The unfinished words made people imagine more. The soldier immediately understood what Lord Xiao said. He only praised the brain and not the appearance, which meant that he was ugly.

The soldier's filter was shattered to pieces. Come to think of it, no matter how ugly the emperor was, no one would dare to say he was ugly.

Speaking of this, Wang Hai also became interested and asked, "Mr. Xiao, why don't you tell us about the Battle of Liuli River?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers around pricked up their ears. They had only heard of this battle.

I know that Your Majesty is very powerful. He was able to escape the encirclement of 200,000 enemy troops with only 10,000 soldiers.

As for how he escaped, no one can really explain it.

Elder Xiao was too embarrassed to refuse as so many eyes were staring at him, so he just told the story.

It is said that storytelling depends on the scholar. As a scholar among scholars, Xiao Ge Lao can make even an ordinary walk into a story with ups and downs.

What's more, he was talking about his own personal experience, and the story was full of ups and downs and was very touching.

Wang Hai was so stunned by what he heard that his thighs were swollen from slapping each other but he still couldn't think of a good word. He felt that any praise he gave would belittle the battle.

Finally, Yan Mingzhe sighed: "Your Majesty is truly a master of military strategy."

Wang Hai echoed, "He's a god indeed! This is the level of a god descending to earth. He went back and forth on a river four times, and the Western Border Army couldn't even find them. It's incredible."

If Yan Mingzhe felt at first that leaving His Majesty alone to guard the border was a bit risky, he now realized that it was due to his narrow vision.

Your Majesty alone can defeat thousands of troops.

Elder Xiao looked up at the crowd that had gathered around him, and said with a smile, "That's the end of the story. Let's go!"

Although everyone was still enjoying the lecture, they knew it was over for the day and had to disperse.

Fu Hongxuan and Li Yinhan were standing in an inconspicuous corner. They had come to see if Lord Xiao needed anything.

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early so that you can hear a good story.

Fu Hongxuan left without disturbing anyone just like he came. Li Yinhan thought about it and followed Fu Hongxuan.
