The princess has space, and her life turns around when she turns into a silly woman

Chapter 182 The Princess’s Meaning is the King’s Meaning

The old Duke did not have any objection, but was very supportive.

Of course, this is based on the premise that he has witnessed the power of Shangguan Qing's weapons, and the old Duke was very convinced.

"Okay, okay, I will submit this petition right away. This day will finally come for Murong Kingdom."

Murong Bai smiled slightly: "The most important thing right now is to reclaim Yanmen Pass as soon as possible. Other matters can be dealt with later."

Yu Shao frowned after hearing this, with a hint of worry in his tone: "But the enemy still has our prisoners of war. How can we solve this problem?"

He knew very well that these prisoners of war were particularly important to the army, and if they were not handled properly, it would have a negative impact on morale.

Shangguan Qing's lips curled up slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "That's easy to do. We can first use food to exchange for some of the prisoners. As for the rest... hehe, I naturally have a plan to deal with it. General Yu, just wait and see!"

Her voice was full of confidence, as if she had everything planned out, which made people believe it.

Yan Bei stood up excitedly, his face filled with anticipation and excitement: "Great! I will immediately organize the troops and set off for Yanmen Pass."

Yu Shao was equally excited. He slammed the table hard, his eyes gleaming. "I believe what the princess says is true. Every suggestion the princess makes will be verified. I will also immediately reorganize the army and prepare for the expedition!"

After saying this, he hurriedly left the tent.

Looking at the two people leaving, Shangguan Qing's smile became brighter.

She turned to look at the old Duke beside her and asked softly, "Old Duke, don't you have any questions?"

The old Duke stroked his beard, his eyes revealing a hint of doting: "Humph, you little girl, I know what I am doing. I have to go write a memorial now."

Shangguan Qing playfully shouted at the old Duke, "Hey, old man, don't forget to ask the Emperor for more men!"

The old Duke looked back at Shangguan Qing helplessly, his mouth twitching slightly: "Only a little girl like you dares to call me that."

However, his eyes were full of love and tolerance.

Shangguan Qing laughed triumphantly, hands on hips, "Hey, only an old man like you dares to call me a little girl, so we're even now, right?"

Murong Bai's mouth corners slightly raised, his face filled with a gentle smile. He gently rubbed Shangguan Qing'er's head, his eyes full of doting, and said softly: "Qing'er, let's go!"

At this moment, the army was fully prepared. Shangguan Qing provided the Western Xinjiang army with one day's food and fodder, and sent people to collect the corpses on the battlefield and send them to Yanmen Pass.

Shangguan Qing rode on the same horse with Murong Bai without hesitation and galloped towards Yanmen Pass.

At the same time, in the camp at Yanmen Pass, Nangong Yu had just arrived when he shouted, "Come here, bring Shangguan Xi to me."

Unexpectedly, the subordinates reported: "Prince, Shangguan Xi has escaped!"

Nangong Yu was immediately enraged and roared angrily, "Damn Shangguan Xi, it's true that it's hard to change one's nature. This traitor must have gone to Murong Bai again!"

Everyone was so frightened that they dared not say a word. Shangguan Xi angrily ordered, "Come here, bring all the prisoners of war from Murong Kingdom to the city wall!"

When Shangguan Qing arrived at the foot of the city, he saw rows of human targets standing on the city wall. They were all captured prisoners of war.

These prisoners of war were all thinly dressed, with haggard faces, a listless look, and chapped lips. It was obvious that they had not eaten or drunk water for a long time, and some were even shivering from the cold.

Shangguan Qing saw this scene and couldn't help but feel angry. "Murong Bai, haven't they eaten anything? How can they be so weak?"

Murong Bai also responded angrily, "That's right. Judging from their appearance, I'm afraid we haven't given them any food since we captured Yanmen Pass."

Shangguan Qing pointed angrily at Nangong Yu on the city wall and demanded, "Nangong Yu, don't you think you're being completely unscrupulous by doing this? How can you deny food to prisoners of war?"

Nangong Yu, however, didn't take it seriously. Instead, he burst into laughter. "Shangguan Qing, are you really stupid or just pretending? These are 50,000 prisoners of war! If we feed and water them well, won't they rebel?"

Shangguan Qing was suddenly speechless. He had to admit that what Nangong Yu said made sense.

But why this 50,000-strong army had fallen to this point was something Shangguan Qing couldn't figure out.

As if seeing through Shangguan Qing's thoughts, Nangong Yu raised a smug smile and took the initiative to explain: "Where is your traitor now? Ha, you actually dared to betray this prince? Don't you dare show up?"

Shangguan Qing tried hard to look calm, but his heart was in turmoil. Shangguan Xi was still in the Xijiang military camp yesterday, and Nangong Yu wanted him today. There must be a reason.

She tried to remain calm and replied, "Are you talking about Shangguan Xi? What does this have to do with me?"

Nangong Yu's eyes became gloomy and fierce, as if they were about to spit fire.

"He's truly an ungrateful idiot! How dare he betray me? Even if he escapes, so what? I demand you hand him over right now!"

Shangguan Qingxin finally understood that Shangguan Xi had escaped. Haha, it seems that he had underestimated him before.

But Shangguan Qing didn't want to argue with Nangong Yu any more, so he said directly: "Let's solve them one by one! Nangong Yu, aren't you short of food? Then let's change people first!"

Nangong Yu let out a shrill laugh: "Shangguan Qing, you have no say here! Ask Murong Bai to come over for the deal. I'm afraid you can't make the decision."

However, Murong Bai smiled slightly and responded easily: "What my princess means is what I mean."

Nangong Yu sneered and mocked: "I never thought that the regent of Murong Kingdom would listen to a woman."

Murong Bai nodded, his smile still bright: "So what? I am willing to do this, and there is no need for others to tell me what to do. Nangong Yu, I advise you to release him immediately."

Nangong Yu showed a hint of disdainful smile and asked provocatively: "What else can we do if we don't release him?"

Shangguan Qing was not angered by his provocation, but said coldly: "Are you going to let your soldiers starve?"

At this moment, a surprising scene happened.

The soldiers of Murong State actually began to set up camp. They moved quickly and in an orderly manner, showing their well-trained qualities.

The fire camp became even busier, with smoke rising up, accompanied by bursts of fragrance.

After a while, the aroma of fragrant rice porridge, hot steamed buns and meat wafted into the air.

The tempting aroma makes people salivate, especially for hungry soldiers, it is undoubtedly a great temptation.

What was even more outrageous was that a northeast wind came at this time, blowing the aroma of the food towards the Yanmen Pass tower.
