When everyone saw that the masters of their cavalry camp had lost to a little girl, they thought it was too embarrassing and were eager to try.

After a series of exchanges, Song Jinfang actually won seven or eight games in a row.

"dong dong dong"

The drums of war began to beat.

Sparring in military camps is common, but when the war drums are beaten, it means you've met your equal.

More and more people came, and Song Jinfang played seven or eight games in a row without changing his expression or breathing heavily.

Everyone had to take it seriously.

Although the cavalrymen were willing to give in, after all, they did not dare to be cruel to a girl, especially the eldest princess's younger sister.

But if the little girl didn't have some real skills, she wouldn't be able to defeat these battle-hardened veterans, right?

Su Mo and Song Jinxiu have no time to join in the fun here.

The troops will rest here for one night and will reach the southern Xinjiang border in one go tomorrow.

As soon as Song Jinxiu arrived at the camp, she stuffed the kerosene refining method and lantern manufacturing drawings that she had drawn in advance into a bamboo tube soaked in oil wax, sealed it, and asked Su Mo to send a military express to present it to the emperor.

Then she hid in the tent, actually in the space, to harvest herbs and refine as many common medicines as possible in case of emergency.

An Yi and Su Chuan were guarding the door, and thirty-six guards were guarding the surrounding area, preventing anyone from approaching.

Su Mo arranged for someone to deliver a military courier, and along with the military courier, he also submitted a memorial requesting the emperor to grant the marriage.

Although his relationship with Song Jinxiu had been approved by Song Jinxiu's parents and they were in love with each other, he had always planned to ask for imperial decree to grant their marriage upon his return to the capital.

Isn't this an unexpected incident?

The little girl's status upgrade caught him off guard.

The development of the war in southern Xinjiang made him miss the opportunity to ask for permission in person.

Now he really couldn't wait any longer, especially the longer he spent with Song Jinxiu, the more he wanted to settle their relationship as soon as possible.

Without the emperor's imperial decree granting the marriage, Su Mo always felt that their relationship was secretive and not legitimate.

He wanted to stand by her side openly, protect her, care for her, and obey her willingly.

He wrote in the memorial: Uncle, my nephew has reached the age of twenty and is old enough to get married. I have admired Princess Kangle for a long time and would rather marry you than anyone else. Unfortunately, I am alone and helpless, so I kneel down and beg you to come to my house and propose marriage.

After the death of their parents, children are called "Gu Lu". What he meant was that I am an orphan now and I have no choice but to ask my uncle to propose marriage.

After arranging the military express, he also arranged for the troops to go to the front line to gather information, and also made some records based on the maps brought by the scouts.

This was Song Jinxiu's request. The maps of Cangwu were rather general, and were made by the cartographers based on their previous experience. There was no scale, and it only marked the number of steps to the east, south, west and north.

People are of different heights, so naturally their steps are big and small. One or two steps won't make much mistake, but what about thousands or tens of thousands of steps?

Therefore, Song Jinxiu unified the proportional ruler and also introduced the unit "meter".

Each scout was given a folding ruler so that they could become familiar with the length of "meter" and then draw the map in units of "meter".

As they marched along the way, a standardized map of the terrain along the way was drawn.

After listening to the scouts' report, Su Mo handed the maps they drew to a specialist to connect them.

Wherever the army went, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. I don't know what the situation is like in southern Xinjiang.

Therefore, he sent out wave after wave of scouts to the front line, so as to determine the location of General Dingguo Wei Qiliang and the army in the shortest possible time.

In this way, they can choose the shortest route, report as soon as possible, and wait for dispatch.

The sound of "boom boom boom" war drums and laughter came in waves.

Su Chuan's face was tense and expressionless, but his ears were perked up and his eyes glanced towards the arena from time to time.

An Yi smiled and said, "It's fine as long as we are here to guard it. If you want to watch the fun, go ahead. If the Second Miss can't defeat her, you will take over and don't embarrass our master."

Su Chuan shook her head. The master only brought her a maid, and the thirty-six guards were all men. If she left, what would happen if the master needed her help with something private?

Because they were in the camp, Song Jinxiu could also hear everything in the space.

After hearing the conversation between An Yi and Su Chuan, she flashed out of the space and said to Su Chuan, "Go and keep an eye on the Second Miss. Don't let her get carried away by being so focused on the limelight. You should know that these cavalrymen are all giving in to her!"

"Yes"

Su Chuan agreed, turned around with a stern face and walked away, but his steps were a little quicker.

An Yi shook his head and laughed: No matter how mature you pretend to be, you are still just a child.

Song Jinxiu's space was filled with supplies, and the harvested herbs could only be piled in a corner.

Fortunately, the space has a fresh-keeping function, so there is no need to worry about these things rotting.

After the bonfire was lit, the military camp finally quieted down. The fatigue of marching thousands of miles made everyone fall asleep quickly.

A bright moon hung in the night sky, looking down at the young and resolute faces of the soldiers as they slept. It also peeked into the restless heart of the young general.

Su Mo came to wander outside Song Jinxiu's tent again.

The girl had made an appointment with him to transfer his inner strength to her tonight. But when the agreed time came, why didn't she come out yet?

You know, once they go to the battlefield, they will not be so free. Today will be their most comfortable night before going to the battlefield.

He wandered in the summer night breeze, but even the cool wind could not blow away the restlessness in his heart.

Waiting is always long, especially waiting for one's sweetheart, which makes him feel like the days are passing by like years.

What a foolish sister-in-law! Why did she chase him all the way to southern Xinjiang? And why did she insist on sharing a tent with her sister? It made him feel embarrassed to try to catch someone in the little girl's tent recently.

Su Chuan and Song Jinfang had already fallen asleep in Song Jinxiu's tent. The two little girls were exhausted from a day of forced marching and excitedly competing with the soldiers. As soon as they lay down, they began to snore softly.

The thirty-six guards were also divided into two shifts to take turns and rest.

Su Mo wandered at the door of the tent, looking anxiously.

Seeing his master spinning like a top, Su Kuichong winked at An: What are you doing, Princess?

An Yi: Our master is of course busy with military and national affairs.

Su Qi: But our master has been waiting for a long time.

An Yi: What does it have to do with me?

Song Jinxiu collected the herbs and left the space. As soon as she left the tent, she saw Su Mo's surprised eyes.

When Su Mo saw Song Jinxiu, he hurried forward and held her hand, put one hand to his lips and said "hush" softly, and then the two of them entered Su Mo's military tent next door like thieves.

Song Jinxiu had never been in love before, and this secretive way of dating made her feel sweet and nervous.

The two were practicing in the tent, while the treasure-hunting rat Junjun was busy making nutrient solution with a soy milk maker in the space.

Silent all night.

The next day, according to reports from scouts, the fighting on the front lines was fierce, and the border was occasionally harassed by civilian forces from southern Xinjiang.

Su Mo ordered the entire army to speed up, and finally at midnight, he met General Dingguo Wei Qiliang who was waiting for them in the camp.

Song Jinxiu was supervising the army as the eldest princess, and was serving the emperor.

After the emperor and his ministers exchanged greetings, Song Jinxiu was allowed to sit in the main seat.

Wei Qiliang had already received the imperial edict regarding Song Jinxiu's arrival, so he was not surprised at all.
