The cruel little princess

Whether we like it or not, war is coming.

At daybreak, the drums of war began to beat, and everyone in the barracks was ready for battle. Following General Shen's command, the army set out and advanced forward.

The same is true for the Qinglong Kingdom across the street.

Shen Youyou was unsure. After all, this was the first time the rescue team had been deployed, and she was worried about a situation they couldn't handle, so she wanted to follow along. But before she could even take a few steps out of the tent, she keenly sensed several more figures around her, some of them hidden in the darkness.

Shen Youyou paused, a bad feeling rising in her heart. Sure enough, the next second she heard a male voice: "Miss, your subordinates are here under the orders of the prince to protect your safety. Please do not leave the barracks. You can walk freely within the barracks."

"What does this mean?" Shen Youyou frowned and looked at the man kneeling on one knee in front of her, wondering what his secret number was.

"Miss, we are only following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us." The man lowered his head so that his expression could not be seen clearly, and answered in a calm voice.

Shen Youyou gritted her teeth after hearing this. Chu Huaijin was such a straight man! She had passively "thanked" him yesterday, but he was actually under house arrest... She had originally thought that only the soldiers going to the battlefield would go to the front line, and the wounded battalion would have to provide support in the rear. But unexpectedly, the wounded stayed behind, and the "battalion" also went with them...

The rescue team had all gone to the front lines, so what could she do by herself in the barracks? After much deliberation, she decided to go with them. "Is An Er here?" She felt that since she was more familiar with An Er, communication would be easier.

"Miss, An Er and the prince have gone to the battlefield." He replied with his head down.

"Then who among you has the final say?" Shen Youyou asked.

"Miss, this is An Nineteen." The secret guard replied in a serious tone.

"Then call An Nineteen, I have something to discuss with him." Shen Youyou said.

"Miss, there's no need to shout." The guard was still concise.

"Why? Is An Nineteen nearby?" Shen Youyou was a little confused.

"My lady, I am An Nineteen."

Shen Youyou: “…”

Shen Youyou looked at An Nineteen speechlessly. "Why didn't you just tell me you were Nineteen earlier? You had to go through so much trouble...why shouldn't I just come to you and tell you directly?"

Given the ineffective communication just now, Shen Youyou decided to make a quick decision. She pulled out a small paper bag from her waist. She raised the object in her hand, her lips curled up slightly, and asked with a half-smile, "Do you know what this is?"

An Nineteen was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said respectfully, "My lady, I don't know."

Shen Youyou proudly shook the paper bag in her hand and said with a smile, "This is Ecstasy Powder. I made it a few days ago. It's even stronger than Ma Fei Powder. Let's put it this way, a strong man only needs to inhale this little bit..." She pinched her little fingernail with her thumb, indicating the tiny amount, which was thinner than an ant's leg. "They'd be unconscious for most of the day! What do you think the effect is?" Speaking of her specialty, she stared at An Shijiu with shining eyes, eyes full of anticipation and pride.

"Miss, I don't know." An Nineteen looked at Shen Youyou with a bewildered look on his face, his heart full of puzzlement. Why did Miss Shen suddenly talk to him about the effects of the Ecstasy Powder instead of returning to her own tent? He really couldn't guess Miss Shen's intentions. Oh, if only Second Brother was here. He was so smart and clever, he would definitely understand what Miss Shen meant. What should I do now? Waiting online, it's very urgent...

At this moment, both Shen Youyou and An Nineteen missed An Er immensely. If An Er were here, he would definitely understand her thoughts.

Shen Youyou sighed helplessly and explained, "I mean, if you don't want me to go to the battlefield in person, then I will use the Ecstasy Powder to knock you all out and then go alone; or, you can choose to protect me and go to the battlefield together. However, we will not go to the front line, but just visit the wounded camp in the rear. I want to understand the operation of the ambulance team and the casualties. You should know my medical skills. It is no exaggeration to say that my medical skills are beyond the reach of even those imperial doctors. So, whether you want to be knocked down by me or go with me, it's up to you!" Shen Youyou deliberately pretended to be confident and said to An Shijiu.

"This..." An Shijiu was at a loss for a moment. He wanted to reject Miss Shen's proposal, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Miss Shen said made a lot of sense! If they were all knocked unconscious, wouldn't it be more dangerous for Miss Shen to go alone? But if Miss Shen couldn't knock them down at once... and the prince also said that he would keep an eye on the battle situation at all times. If the battle situation was not good, he would immediately force Miss Shen to return to the capital. Special cases require special treatment, so they must always be with Miss Shen. Oh, it's so tangled! Why is it that it's not my second brother who is with Miss Shen, but me? ! Isn't this a problem for myself? !

Just when An Shijiu was about to scratch his head, at a loss, Shen Youyou spoke in time, "How about this, since you don't know whether you agree or not, then we'll just leave it to fate!"

"Miss, I don't know how to interpret God's will..." An Shijiu looked up at the sky. The weather was clear. How could he interpret it?

...

"Wait." Shen Youyou returned to the tent and dressed herself up again, tying her hair into a bun and donning a neat, masculine outfit. She then took two copper coins and smeared the backs of the coins with the same glue Chuntao used to make shoe soles, gluing them firmly together. This way, no matter how she tossed them, they would always land right side up. Shen Youyou took the coins and walked out of the tent.

Shen Youyou quickly flashed the copper coin in front of An Shijiu's eyes and explained, "This copper coin has text on the front and a moon pattern on the back. I will toss it up. If it lands with the front side facing up, it means your prince agrees to let me go with him. If it lands with the tail side facing up, it means your prince does not allow me to go. Then I will wait for their news in the military camp. What do you think? Let's leave the decision to fate."

After hearing this, An Shijiu's eyes lit up, and he thought this method was quite good. Even if the prince blamed him in the future, he could report it truthfully. After all, this was decided by God! So he quickly responded, "My lady, this is a great plan!"

Shen Youyou secretly chuckled inwardly, thinking: You little brat, you want to compete with me in a battle of wits and courage? You know, when I played this kind of game before, the whole battalion of new recruits could only beg for mercy and admit defeat! How could you, these straight men who don't know how to adapt, possibly be my opponent!

Shen Youyou picked up the coin and quickly threw it into the air. The coin fell and a small cloud of dust flew up. Shen Youyou pretended to glance at it casually, "Ah? It's facing up. I think we just said that if it's facing up, then let's go for it, right?"

"Miss, if the front side is facing upwards, it means God has ordered me to go with you." After saying that, he whistled, calling out the brothers hiding in the dark, and asked them to go and prepare the horses. Together they followed Miss Shen to the front line.

Shen Youyou quickly picked up the copper coin and put it into her sleeve pocket, trying not to let anyone else see any clues...

An Twenty-Eight obeyed the order and went to prepare his horse. Then the rest of the secret guards also emerged from the shadows, no longer hiding their figures, and all followed Shen Youyou to the battlefield! Suddenly, there were more than sixty people, one person per horse, and it looked like a mighty team.

They rode out of the military camp quickly, and before they had run five or six miles, they saw a dozen horses galloping in front of them. The people on the horses were wearing armor of their own country's soldiers. Their faces looked bloody and their armor was also covered with scars. Shen Youyou and his group immediately reined in their horses and were about to step forward to ask if they needed help when they saw the man in the front quickly glanced at Shen Youyou and the people behind him, "Brothers, please make way! Our deputy general is seriously injured, and the general ordered us to come and pick up the young lady to save her life!" After that, he quickly squeezed his legs and rode away.

Shen Youyou was just about to ask: Which lieutenant commander was injured? And how seriously? Before she could even ask, they galloped off. Their hooves kicked up a cloud of dust, bringing with them the smell of blood and... um? Tung oil?

Not good! Shen Youyou said anxiously, "Hurry up and catch up with them! They are not from our camp! They also brought tung oil!"
