After leaving the space, the secret guards were so excited that they couldn't express it in words.

Su Chuan had a tense face, and seeing the light in everyone's eyes, he couldn't help but reach out and pull Song Jinxiu's sleeve.

Only she, An Yi, and two short girls of thirty-five and thirty-six were left outside. The master could try to make her disappear someday.

An Yi was also very depressed. Although he was fast and had a headache, he was following the scouts. In order to block the scouts' sight, when crossing the narrow gap, he kept sucking in his stomach, sticking to the mountain wall sideways, and crawling like a gecko.

He couldn't help but ask An Qi: "Did the master throw you here? Did you fly from the sky or come from underground?"

"puff"

An Qi couldn't help laughing. Heaven and earth? He could really imagine it.

The secret guards also laughed.

An Yi became even more depressed.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Hurry up and get going. I'll show you how to go up to the sky and into the earth when I have time.

Sharing her secrets with the secret guards also made Song Jinxiu feel happy.

Since the day these people recognized their master, they have been connected with her. They cannot have love, cannot get married and have children. All their actions, joys and sorrows are for her, the master.

This made Song Jinxiu feel a little guilty, as she lived in a society where everyone was free and equal. Now that she had shared her biggest secret, she felt relieved all of a sudden.

If they don't have love, then let yourself love them.

Suddenly, Song Jinxiu's mind became clear, and she had an epiphany while walking.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and kept walking.

The scouts were confused.

But the treasure-hunting rat Junjun, under the cover of the darkness before dawn, swaggered into the 18th Route Army camp.

The camp was quiet and brightly lit.

"Hehe, your brother and the others must be sleeping soundly. If I crawl into their bed, will they be scared and run out naked? Hahaha..."

Treasure-hunting rat Junjun mischievously imagined how to make a more exciting appearance after meeting Song Chunsheng and others.

However, as it walked, it found that the entire camp was empty except for the gatekeepers and patrolmen.

It looked at each tent one by one and found that they were all filled with wood.

Is the 18th Route Army afraid that the wood will get wet and there will be no firewood for cooking?

It looked at the twinkling stars in the sky. Doesn't it look like it's going to rain?

At dawn, the sky gradually turns white, birds begin to sing on the branches, and a new day is about to begin.

"Junjun, have you found my elder brother?" Song Jinxiu, who was traveling overnight, communicated with its spiritual consciousness.

As the scouts advanced, they beat the weeds on the roadside with sticks to prevent snakes.

If you travel at night, you have to follow the ridge, otherwise you will get lost.

Junjun was still a little confused about the situation in the 18th Route Army camp. He turned around in circles, but couldn't figure out what was going on there.

It put its hands behind its back and paced back and forth using only its hind paws. "This is so strange! It's like an empty city plan. Aside from the patrolling soldiers, nine out of ten tents are empty. What's even stranger is that there are no people living in the tents; they're filled with wood."

Empty? Filled with wood?

Song Jinxiu frowned and asked the scout, "How many troops are there in the 18th Route Army?"

The scout said, "In the past, the Baiyue people were quite obedient. The 18th Route Army mainly patrolled, with 5,000 men. However, we have fought several battles with the Baiyue people recently, and they have suffered several losses, so we sent out the elephant soldiers.

To counter the elephant soldiers, the general sent another 10,000 troops before Your Highness arrived, but casualties were inevitable, and we don't know how many are left now."

The scout said this, then suddenly thought of something and continued, "The general used to be stationed at Bobo Mountain. He personally led the troops to fight against the main force of the King of Southern Xinjiang. Later, the battle line stretched out, and the general retreated to the rear in order to control the overall situation."

Song Jinxiu glanced at the scout, who quickly replied, "Really? It was only after the Baiyue and Ai Lao people joined the battle that the general..."

Song Jinxiu frowned: "Why do you need to explain?"

The scout said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has gone to the battlefield, but our General is stationed in the rear. Some say that Her Royal Highness has a problem with the General, so she wants to inspect the situation in person so she can write a memorial to Your Majesty to complain."

Song Jinxiu was speechless.

She's only been here a few days? It's true that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are bound to be gossip.

Su Chuan was immediately displeased when he heard someone gossip about his master. He said coldly, "These people are just too bored. When did His Highness say he wanted to file a complaint?"

The scout lowered his head. Over the past few days, Her Royal Highness the Princess had been very easygoing and even personally grilled meat for him, so he had the courage to explain on behalf of the general.

This little guard was so cold. Her face looked even more serious under the moonlight, and her eyes seemed to kill people. The scout secretly glanced at Su Chuan and said weakly, "Your Highness is the military supervisor. Isn't he here to find fault?"

Song Jinxiu: ...

What do you mean she's here to find fault? Is it normal for a military supervisor to find fault?

Since ancient times, the phenomenon of discord between military supervisors and commanders has not been uncommon in history.

For example, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang appointed Bian Lingcheng as the military supervisor, who killed Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, causing the Anshi Rebellion, which could have ended early, to last for eight years.

Also, during the Yongxi Northern Expedition, a dispute arose between the military supervisor Wang Quan and the commander-in-chief Pan Mei and the deputy general Yang Ye. Wang Quan's insistence led to Yang Ye taking the risk of sending troops and eventually dying in battle.

Song Jinxiu didn't know much about the history of this place, but from the eyes of the scouts, she could see that the conflict between the military supervisor and the commander-in-chief was the same.

Song Jinxiu also understood that the conflict between the military supervisor and the commander-in-chief was mainly due to the special duties and powers of the military supervisor. The military supervisor was responsible for supervising the army and ensuring the generals' loyalty to the emperor.

This is because the military supervisors are mostly the emperor's confidants and have great power, including the power of life and death.

If he interferes with military command again... it will lead to tension and even confrontation between the military supervisor and the commander-in-chief.

Song Jinxiu is the military supervisor, and she will definitely intervene in the war in southern Xinjiang.

But Song Jinxiu knew her place, and she wouldn't dictate matters. She could offer suggestions on strategy, but as for military tactics, it was best to defer to General Wei's unified command.

For the sake of the Southern Xinjiang war, she could also obey the command of General Wei. Without conflict of interest, they could naturally live in peace.

So she climbed up while pulling at the green vines, explaining:

"At present, the battle in southern Xinjiang is not a war of advancement along a certain route, but a comprehensive defensive war that is blooming everywhere along the border."

With her coming, this war will no longer be just about defense, but about offense.

Song Jinxiu climbed up a big rock, turned around and pulled Su Chuan to follow, then continued:

"The general has been here for decades, and he knows this place like the back of his hand. So he can better grasp the overall situation from his position in the rear.

As a newcomer to the military, I should inspect the front lines and understand everything personally. Do you understand? This has nothing to do with the general, and don't worry, I won't complain to His Majesty.

What was she complaining about? If she had any problems, she could just solve them herself. She wasn't a powerless eunuch supervising the army. She was the eldest princess, with the Dragon and Tiger Battalion and Su Mo's 40,000-strong Su Family Army. Why would she need to write a memorial to complain to the emperor thousands of miles away?

While Song Jinxiu was moving quickly through the mountains and forests, she patiently explained that she had to convey her meaning through the scouts' mouths.

The war is approaching, and she doesn't want any rumors to spread about the discord between the military supervisor and the commander-in-chief. Unstable military morale is a big taboo.
