Junior sister took first place again

After arriving on the other side, Ning Jiasheng and the shadow guards sneaked along the river bank like ghosts for several hours, cleverly avoiding the border patrols of Daxia, and now stopped in a dense reed marsh.

As long as they climb over the mountain ahead and walk another thirty miles, they will reach Qingyang County, the closest county to Daxia.

Qingyang County was a thriving, shining pearl on the border. At this time, the area had not yet been ravaged by the flames of war. If Ning Jiasheng and his companions could successfully enter, they would be considered to have penetrated deep into Daxia territory.

From last night till now, more than ten hours had already passed, and everyone had been traveling as if on a taut bowstring. Qi Sha and the others were fine, and Ning Jiasheng's physical strength could still hold on.

But she clearly felt that without her spiritual power, she felt like she had lost a vital weapon. At this moment, the stomachache continued to attack her like a demon, and the burning sensation in her stomach raged like a flame, constantly reminding her that it was time to eat.

Ning Jiasheng couldn't help but frown: "...

This body has been pampered since childhood, and Princess Zhaohua actually has a small appetite, with a limited amount of food for each meal. But once she misses a meal, her stomach will protest mercilessly.

From last night until now, Ning Jiasheng had only drunk a few sips of water on the road, which was not enough to meet the needs of his body.

Even the time to chew dry food was so tight, and Ning Jiasheng was really worried that she would accidentally choke to death when eating on the road with such a delicate body like a princess.

Ning Jiasheng raised his hand and shouted, "Stop."

Then, as light as a swallow, she leaped up a small slope and gazed at the remote village in the distance. She lowered her voice and gave orders to everyone, "We won't encounter patrolling troops here. Eat something here first. Qi Sha, follow me into the city. The rest of you, proceed according to the plan."

Qi Sha was surprised and called out his original name again: "Your Highness! You...this..."

Qi Sha was nearly driven mad by Ning Jiasheng's constant change of heart. The plan His Highness had previously agreed upon with her was completely different. She had clearly promised to leave some people around to protect her.

But along the way, more than a dozen people have been sent away, and now there are only six people left around him, and His Highness actually wants to continue sending people away!

Qi Sha knew His Highness was now a man of his word, and because of this, she regretted not knocking Ning Jiasheng unconscious and bringing him back to the capital. Even if she would be punished by His Majesty and would incur His Highness's dislike, it was still ten times better than for His Highness to go deep into the enemy camp alone like this!

Ning Jiasheng turned around and saw Qi Sha with a grief-stricken expression.

She was probably the only one who could force the cold shadow guard to show such a vivid expression.

Ning Jiasheng chuckled, she jumped down lightly, patted Qi Sha's shoulder, and did not explain much.

The next moment, she took out a mysterious object from her sleeve and lit it. A bunch of transparent fireworks flew high into the sky like an elf, then exploded like a flash in the pan, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it were an illusion.

Everyone looked at this miraculous scene in confusion, and Ning Jiasheng simply said four words calmly: "Don't worry."

Then she clapped her hands nonchalantly and walked over to the fire to check if the fish they had grilled was cooked through.

Qi Sha looked at the mysterious fireworks and Ning Jiasheng's confident expression. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

The other shadow guards looked at each other, quickly finished their meal, silently saluted Ning Jiasheng, and then dispersed like ghosts, running in different directions of Daxia.

Ning Jiasheng nodded with satisfaction and continued to sit there leisurely grilling fish. She even warmly invited Qi Sha, who had been standing, to sit down and eat. She looked so relaxed, as if she was not in danger, but just enjoying the scenery.

Qi Sha wanted to verify whether his guess was correct. After thanking Ning Jiasheng, he sat quietly aside and waited.

No one knew that the moment the fireworks in Ning Jiasheng's hands soared into the sky, whether it was Daxia, Ningguo, or even the small vassal states around the two countries, those people who had been waiting patiently finally welcomed their new master.

The institution, secretly passed down for years, suddenly felt revitalized and began to operate at high speed. The entire world was quietly enveloped by an invisible net.

The legend about the military token in Ningguo was not groundless, but the actual situation was somewhat different from the legend.

From the powerful and influential to the common people, all the forces closest to this place are gathering towards Ning Jiasheng in the most covert and rapid manner.

At the same time, Ningguo border.

Ji Tang opened her eyes and immediately recognized her own tent. She stared at the ceiling, her eyes flickering as she pondered something.

After a long while, Ji Tang suddenly chuckled and got out of bed, "What a Ning Yuan! What a Xue!"

Hearing the noise, the secret guard who was temporarily taking over the maid's position prepared to go in and serve, but before he could salute, he heard Ji Tang standing by the bed say coldly:

"Everyone nearby, come in and check where Ning Yuan and Ning Zhao are and what they are doing. Report to them one by one later."

The secret guard wanted to inform the general that he knew the young lady was here and send her back. However, Ji Tang's aura and expression were so frightening that she didn't dare to speak.

After a silent salute, she responded and quickly ran out to pass on the message.

There were more than 20 secret guards guarding the tent. When they heard Ji Tang's order, they immediately slipped into the tent and waited for instructions.

Ji Tang looked at the people in front of him, stood with his hands behind his back, and paced slowly in the tent.

Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, the leading secret guard spoke first, telling Ji Tang what the previous secret guard had not said: "Miss, the general sent a message saying that you don't need to pay attention to Princess Zhaohua and the Fourth Prince, and you should return to the capital as soon as possible."

Ji Tang refused decisively without even turning his head: "No! Tell him that I will return to Beijing after I kill Ning Yuan."

Previously, Ji Tang had not known that there were other people present in the illusion, so she had always followed her heart. Now that she knew there were outsiders, she had to get rid of them first to avoid any complications.

Ji Tang’s idea was very simple. She would get rid of the man named Xue, then capture Ning Zhao and find a way to get the mysterious metal. Then she might know how to break the illusion.
