"Yes, Your Highness, please be merciful and go in quickly."

After sending the person there, Jiang Jiaoyun gave some instructions to the soldiers guarding outside and left.

A corner of the tent door was lifted from the inside. The previously bright eyes now looked like dead water without life. They looked at Jiang Jiaoyun's back as she left, not knowing what they were thinking.

When Jiang Jiaoyun returned to the commander-in-chief's tent, she saw His Highness standing silently in front of the sand table. She walked over quietly, not daring to disturb him.

"How old is this little girl?"

Minglang has lived in the palace since she was a child. The companions she grew up with were all carefully selected by her mother. Although she has not experienced the intrigues among the royal heirs, she has seen some of it.

You can tell from looking at that little girl that she didn't have a good life in the past.

"Your Highness, when the person was brought here, the messenger said she was eighteen, but the girl said she was thirteen."

Minglang's eyes fell on the sand table, and his fingertips casually walked across the sand table. After a long time, he spoke:

"Go find a military doctor who can tell her bone age and try her out."

For some reason, Minglang thought of the old kid imprisoned in the Qingyu Pavilion dungeon. The kid's face was dirty at that time. Apart from his black mouth, all that could be seen was the dust stuck in the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the grooves on his face.

After a trip to Qingyu Pavilion, Minglang's eyes were opened. Now he is suspicious before doing anything.

Thinking of this, Minglang suddenly chuckled. She and her mother really looked more and more alike.

"Xianqing specializes in this field. I will bring her over right away."

On the way west, Minglang witnessed the strengths of her study companions. Each of them went to Qingyu Pavilion to study in a different direction. Along the way, Minglang suspected that the Queen Mother had already thought of this day, so she arranged for them to go out to study a year in advance.

They are all useful on the battlefield. Her mother's foresight is enough for her to learn for a lifetime.

"Well, if we go with Qing, I feel we'll get results soon."

The two smiled at each other without saying a word, there was a tacit understanding between them.

After waiting for Jiang Jiaoyun to leave, Minglang continued to study the terrain on the sand table, planning where to attack from.

As Minglang expected, it didn't take long before Jiang Jiaoyun and Li Xianqing arrived.

"Your Highness."

Minglang turned around and looked at the two of them when he heard the voice. Li Xianqing was still holding her beautiful little medicine box in her hand.

"How is it? Did you find anything wrong?"

Li Xianqing nodded. "Your Highness's suspicion is correct. The girl's bones don't feel like those of a child. She looks at least thirty years old. I was worried that my skills weren't up to par, so I even asked a military doctor to feel her bones and find out her age. She's definitely at least thirty."

She really guessed it right. She sent a young-looking woman who was actually thirty years old to die.

His bright eyes narrowed dangerously, revealing murderous intent.

"Is the person under control?"

Jiang Jiaoyun nodded.

"Give him some muscle softening powder and keep him under guard."

It's still useful if you keep it, but if it comes to you, you must squeeze out every last bit of value before killing it.

Minglang summoned all the generals that night to discuss the siege. They were told to go to bed early and set out to attack the city before dawn.

Take advantage of the sunrise in the east to break through the enemy's city gate.

Minglang had just returned from a battle and was a little tired. She fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. In the middle of the night, she always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her.

Seeing this made her feel goosebumps. She suppressed her physical discomfort and sat up, only to see the puppy lying beside her bed, guarding her. Its eyes were so sleepy that it couldn't open them, but it was still trying hard to keep them open.

Just as the system was about to fall asleep, a hand touched its furry head.

"Ok?"

The system looked at Minglang with confused eyes. There was only a small oil lamp lit in the tent, and the light was very dim.

"Go to sleep if you're tired. I don't need you to watch over me like this."

Minglang remembered that every time he went to the Yangxin Palace, he saw the puppy either eating or sleeping, sleeping with its four legs facing up like a human.

Now he stays by her bedside and won't go to sleep even when he's so sleepy that he's shaking.

"There are soldiers on guard outside, so there's no need to be so cautious."

The system shook its head, hating Minglang for not understanding the dog's barking. It had a lot to say to Minglang, but Minglang couldn't understand.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The system held it in for a long time before letting out two whimpers. Minglang's heart melted when he heard them. It had been a long time since he had heard such a coquettish voice from a puppy.

I don’t know what time it is now. Minglang is a little tired from fighting these two days. He rubbed the puppy’s head and wanted to lie down and continue sleeping.

As soon as I lay down, I heard the whimpering sound of a military dog ​​outside.

The next second, the system became alert, all the sleepiness it had just felt was swept away, and it scanned the entire tent vigilantly.

"What happened to the puppy?"

Minglang was frightened by the puppy's appearance. He remembered the movements of the military dogs outside just now. They were all strictly trained and generally would not make any noise at night.

Minglang's sleepiness disappeared. He took out a dagger from under his pillow and listened carefully to the movements around him.

The system saw that Minglang had responded and nodded with satisfaction, but Minglang didn't see it.

I don’t know when the old kid will come, he has been guarding here until midnight.

If you don't come soon, Minglang will lead his troops to attack the city in half an hour at most.

At that time, we might run into the suicide squad sent by the other side.

The system still hopes that Minglang can take the initiative, so that the initiative is in its own hands and the battle will be fought more smoothly.

Minglang waited for a while, and when he heard no other movement, he put the dagger back under his pillow.

"Okay, go to bed first, we'll be leaving soon."

As soon as Minglang lay down, the system's big head came over and arched her hand, preventing her from continuing to sleep.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, especially when the puppy is so smart. Minglang completely lost his sleepiness after being teased by the puppy.

I sat up and tried to see what the puppy wanted to do.

This is the dog that the Queen Mother has raised since it was a baby. Even if it is a little naughty occasionally, it is just a minor fight. Normally, it is very well-behaved and docile.

As far as I can remember, I have never seen a puppy be so tactless.

The system touched Minglang's hand with its nose, and the moist touch made her more awake.

The good friend dog outside had already tipped it off, and it seemed that the old kid had already reached Minglang's tent.

It now needs to be fully alert to protect Minglang, as the new skin promised by the host is still waiting for it.

Success or failure depends on this.

The more the system thought about it, the more excited it became. It increased its five senses several times just to hear clearly what the old child was doing.

As soon as the system exited the value adjustment panel, it heard a rustling sound coming from the southwest corner.

I looked up at Minglang, and sure enough, Minglang had also discovered it.

The system wanted to say something, but just as it opened its mouth, Minglang pinched its mouthpiece.
