The old Duke was very surprised to hear this, and he also agreed with Murong Bai's analysis.

"I didn't expect the prince and princess to have done so much. That's right, since the Western Frontier has already attacked here, they will definitely not give up easily. There won't be another chance, and they are now strong and powerful, and we are in urgent need of recuperation. They will definitely take this opportunity to attack us."

Yu Shao was very surprised to hear this. "Great! We must take this opportunity to reclaim Yanmen Pass. They think we have no food left. They will definitely not let this opportunity go. Please make arrangements, Your Highness."

Unexpectedly, Murong Bai shook his head and said, "The commander this time is the old Duke. He will naturally make appropriate arrangements and there will be no unexpected situations. They will fight us hungry tomorrow morning, and after tonight's ordeal, their morale will inevitably be low, making victory impossible."

Yan Bei laughed excitedly after hearing this: "Haha, there's actually such a thing! The prince's moves are truly extraordinary, truly amazing."

The old Duke also seemed particularly excited: "I can't wait to know what happened."

Murong Bai held Shangguan Qing's hand tightly and said with a smile, "All this is thanks to Qing'er. Everyone, have a good rest, recharge your energy, and prepare for tomorrow's battle."

Everyone knew that Shangguan Qing must have some unknown secrets, but they would not delve into it.

At this moment, excited discussions could be heard outside the tent: "We've got food and fodder! Miss Shangguan brought us so many good things. How much silver must it have cost? General Shangguan has truly had a wonderful daughter."

Someone was a little dissatisfied and muttered, "It's all for the Shangguan family to atone for their sins."

"Whoever talks such nonsense, I must teach him a lesson."

When Yan Bei heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to rush out to argue with the people outside.

Shangguan Qing quickly pulled him back and said softly, "Uncle Yanbei, there's no need to be like this. Justice is in the hearts of the people. Father didn't do it, so naturally, it won't be blamed on him."

Yan Bei sighed helplessly and stopped.

Everyone listened quietly to the noise outside the tent.

At this time, another person shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? General Shangguan is not that kind of person. Don't you know how the general treats us? Look at that young General Shangguan, how can he be a member of the Shangguan family? It's clear that he appeared out of nowhere."

Shangguan Qing couldn't help but smile faintly when he heard this, and said to himself, "He's right. But now is not the time to worry about these things. Save Daddy, and everything will come to light."

At this time, outside the tent, many soldiers were talking at once: "I believe in the character of General Shangguan, and I will not allow anyone to smear the Shangguan family."

"Yes, General Shangguan has always been loyal. How could he have a nephew who betrayed his country?"

"I also believe in General Shangguan."

"I also believe in General Shangguan."

"We all believe it. We support Miss Shangguan."

Everyone expressed their trust and support for the Shangguan family, and their confidence was further strengthened after seeing the abundant supplies.

"Wow, there's so much meat! How long has it been since we last had meat?"

A soldier shouted excitedly.

"Look, what's that over there? I heard it's some very delicious pickled vegetables. My God, we're so lucky to have pickled vegetables. How much salt must be wasted?"

Another soldier said in surprise.

At this time, an old soldier came over and explained: "What do you know? Miss Shangguan bought a lot of refined salt for the barracks. Let me tell you, it's refined salt, not coarse salt."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

"Oh my god, there's also refined salt. Isn't that something only the royal family and nobles can eat?"

Someone questioned.

"What do you know? I heard that Miss Shangguan has found a way to purify refined salt. From now on, ordinary people will be able to eat refined salt."

The veteran said proudly.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cheer, and their gratitude to the Shangguan family became even deeper.

These supplies not only satisfied their appetites, but also made them feel the Shangguan family's care and love for them.

Shangguan Qing also won their admiration and respect.

"Oh my god, is this true? Miss Shangguan is indeed the daughter of General Shangguan."

"I told you, Shangguan Xi doesn't look like a child from the Shangguan family at all. Maybe it's just a surname."

Shangguan Qing smiled helplessly. The only people who knew these details were her own people. She felt inexplicably moved again.

Everyone was very excited. Murong Bai was afraid that Shangguan Qing's secret would be revealed, so he hurriedly said, "We will keep as much of today's events secret as possible. The grain at Yanmen Pass will be placed inside the pass. We will tell the old Duke directly where it is when the time comes."

The old Duke naturally knew Murong Bai's concerns and said repeatedly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, nothing will happen. We will keep it secret."

Murong Bai agreed very much, "Okay, then everyone should have a good rest tonight and wait for the battle tomorrow!"

Everyone responded and quickly retreated.

At this time, outside Yanmen Pass, in the Western Frontier military camp, Nangong Yu looked at Shangguan Xi's miserable appearance and finally stopped.

He didn't expect Shangguan Xi to be so tenacious and not give in even under such torture.

"Huh, Shangguan Xi, you really make me look at you in a new light."

Nangong Yu sneered.

Shangguan Xi raised his head, his eyes filled with stubbornness and unyielding spirit. "Prince, it really wasn't me. I really don't know."

Nangong Yu looked at Shangguan Xi's miserable appearance and smiled smugly.

"Shangguan Xi, tell me where Murong Bai has transported the grain and fodder. I will treat you as before. Once we reach the Murong Empire's imperial city, I will let you manage it, okay?"

Shangguan Xi was already on his deathbed. He lowered his head and said weakly, "Prince, I really don't know. He must have framed us. He's the one who's trying to sow discord between us."

Nangong Yu frowned and sighed softly, "Shangguan Xi, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this is too unbelievable."

Shangguan Xi lowered his brows and eyes, which were full of ruthlessness. He slowly clenched his hands and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Prince, think about it, the night we attacked Jiahe Pass, wasn't Murong Bai a divine soldier sent down from the sky? We had no information beforehand, so he must have some secret, perhaps a treasure."

Nangong Yu's eyes lit up instantly. He thought carefully about what happened that day and began to ask people to tell him what happened that night.

"Your Highness, we had already broken into the city and killed many Murong soldiers. Victory was almost in sight, but suddenly, a large number of Murong soldiers appeared from behind. They were wearing armor and wielding sharp weapons. They attacked us like ghosts, and Murong Bai rushed in front. We were completely unable to resist and could only retreat step by step. Finally, we had to retreat."

A general recalled.
