Mind Reading: Who understands? The emperor finally has a princess.

The general, who had been feeling proud just now, was now extremely panicked.

So he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a terrible headache and I'm taking a day off today!"

The emperor has a black line on his forehead!

Are they just playing house when they go to court?

The emperor waved his hand angrily, and the general trotted out of the hall.

Long Xianxian was stunned!

[This general is giving me a headache, isn't he? How can he run so fast? I hope he can catch up, or else he'll be chasing his wife to the crematorium!]

As soon as the Grand Marshal left the hall, he met the eldest prince who had returned from suppressing bandits.

The eldest prince saw the Grand Marshal and saluted hurriedly: "Master Grand Marshal, what are you doing..."

But the general just waved his hand and ran away anxiously.

The eldest prince was surprised: "What happened to the general? Why is he running so fast? But the general is still in good health despite his age!"

Then, the eldest prince entered the hall.

He knelt down and saluted: "Father, your son is back!"

Emperor: "Stand up!"

Although he already knew about the situation of the eldest prince's suppression of bandits, the emperor still asked, "How is the situation over there? Where is your fourth brother?"

The eldest prince felt extremely guilty. "Father, I have completely eradicated the banditry in that area, but... I haven't found my fourth brother. According to the bandit leader, he seems to have escaped!"

[Yes, the Fourth Prince did manage to escape, but unfortunately, he was kidnapped again. How unlucky the Fourth Prince was! He thought it was another romantic encounter, oops!]

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked!

The Fourth Prince has entered a den of thieves again?

If that's the case, why would the Fourth Prince run away? He might as well have followed the bandits!

The eldest prince was stunned. He never expected that his fourth brother was so stupid.

When the emperor heard this again, he was still angry!

"Your Highness, by eliminating the bandit problem, you are also benefiting the people. I will reward you with one thousand taels of gold!"

Nothing else?

The eldest prince knew that he had done nothing wrong in failing to rescue his fourth brother.

"Thank you, Father!"

[Wow, gold! Father is so kind to my eldest brother. I wonder how much one thousand taels of gold is. Is it as heavy as the big peach Father gave me?]

Long Xianxian had no idea at all, but the ministers below were shocked.

Golden peach?

Are these the golden peaches that southern Xinjiang presented as tribute to the emperor on his birthday last year?

That's worth ten thousand taels of gold!

The eldest prince was dumbfounded. Did his father give the golden longevity peach to his younger sister?

This is too biased!

Many of the princes were jealous.

The eldest prince didn't know yet, but some people living in the palace had already heard about the rewards given in Xianfu Palace yesterday.

The eldest prince returned to his seat and murmured, "Father really dotes on my younger sister!"

The prince next to him whispered, "Yes, there are not only golden longevity peaches, but also golden longevity trees, golden bathtubs and more than ten other treasures. Father gave them all to my younger sister."

The eldest prince was stunned. He looked at the little princess in the emperor's arms, and his fingers clenched unconsciously.

Father, what does this mean?

Long Xianxian was rummaging through the melon field, trying to see if there were any other fresh and interesting melons.

Naturally, Long Jingcheng still couldn't let go of his fourth son, even though it was a bit embarrassing.

He still sent someone to rescue his son.

Then the ministers began to discuss the matter.

The imperial examination is approaching and is the top priority at the moment.

The eldest prince didn't expect that the emperor would arrange for the second prince to be the chief examiner, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that the emperor intends to establish the second prince?

Recently, the imperial teacher has been getting very close to the second prince, which has made the eldest prince nervous.

Just when everyone was nervous, the guards came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, urgent assistance from the Northern Territory, eight hundred miles away!"

Emperor: "Pass it!"

The messenger came in and immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, a letter from General Hua Rong!"

Emperor: "Present it quickly!"

Godley hurried down to get the letter and then handed it to the emperor.

The emperor made room, placed the little princess on the dragon throne, and then took the letter.

"Your Majesty, the bandits in the Northern Territory are rampant and their evil intentions are unyielding. If they are not destroyed, they will surely return one day. As a general on the battlefield, I do not obey your orders. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. When the time comes to destroy the Northern Territory, I will leave this general to your disposal!"

After reading it, the emperor's hand trembled slightly.

He was so angry that he stood up.

What a good general who is away from the court and does not obey the king's orders!

Does Hua Rong want to rebel?

When the ministers saw this, they immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Everyone knew what had happened by looking at the emperor's expression. The Grand Marshal had previously reminded His Majesty that there was only one capital left in the Northern Territory, so peace talks were possible.

Obviously, General Hua Rong wanted to destroy the Northern Territory directly.

This is an unprecedented achievement!

The emperor would be helpless against him if he returned to the capital and refused to hand over his military power...

Long Xianxian saw that her father was angry and stretched her neck to look over.

Why is the emperor angry?

"666, what was written in that expedited letter that traveled eight hundred miles? Why is Father so angry?"

666 repeated the contents of the letter.

Long Xianxian was puzzled: "I think Hua Rong did nothing wrong. He was already at the doorstep, so why didn't he fight back?"

666: "The court wants peace in exchange for more tribute. Peace talks would maximize their benefits at this time, but it's not realistic. The people in the Northern Territory are extremely vicious and cruel, and that place is inherently cold. They came south because they were attracted by Dayong's wealth. If we don't destroy them, they will definitely come back!"

Long Xianxian: "That General Hua Rong is so ruthless that he even disobeyed my father. But he will definitely be suspected by my father. 666, is there any news about General Hua Rong?"

Long Xianxian wanted to see if Hua Rong had any leverage. If her father knew about it, it would be easier for him to control Hua Rong.

666 scratched his head and said, "Host, you haven't met General Hua Rong, so you can't unlock him, but I can show you what he's doing now!"

The scroll opened, and heavy snow fell all over the sky.

The entire northern region was desolate.

In the valley, a group of people were huddled together. If you didn't look carefully, you could see that the snow around them was full of people.

In the distance is the capital of the Northern Territory, and the city walls are now filled with soldiers from the Northern Territory.

Into the big tent in the valley, a man dressed as a scholar came in.

"General, His Majesty has already issued six golden orders to withdraw the troops. If you don't return, I'm afraid the relationship between the emperor and his subjects will..."

"Military Advisor, I know, but the capital of the Northern Territory is right before our eyes. My father and brothers were killed by the Northern Territory's cavalry. Over the past hundreds of years, countless Dayong soldiers have perished in the Northern Territory. If they still harbor evil intentions, they will return."

"I knew Your Majesty would do this, but this is my only chance, and I came with the determination to die. I will never return to the court unless I can conquer the Northern Territory."

The military advisor sighed, "Since the general is determined, we will follow him to the death!"

Hua Rong looked at the sky and saw that a blizzard was about to come.

"We don't know when the food and supplies will arrive. We can't wait. It will be dark in an hour. We must launch the attack!"

Military Advisor: "Yes! The secret sentry just sent a message that the people who infiltrated the enemy camp have found the granary."

Hua Rong: "Great! Light the fire as a signal. Once the food and supplies over there start burning, we'll attack!"

The sky gradually darkened, and the entire Northern Territory was shrouded in darkness.

The wind howled and a blizzard came.

The soldiers rolled in the snow and merged into one with the vast snow.

At this moment, a huge fire suddenly broke out in the southwest of the capital of the Northern Territory.

With the help of the strong wind, it quickly spread to most of the city.

Hua Rong rode a white warhorse, holding a silver spear and shouting, "Soldiers, follow me into the enemy city and capture the King of the Northern Territory alive. I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver and grant you the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

The soldiers were filled with passion and immediately followed Hua Rong to attack the capital of the Northern Territory!

The sounds of killing echoed throughout the entire Northern Territory.

When Long Xianxian saw this, her blood boiled.

Kill! Kill! Kill! General Hua Rong, you're doing great! Kill! We'll soon take the Northern Territory's capital, keep going!

Long Xianxian couldn't help but cheer for Dayong's army!

But the emperor and his ministers were shocked!

General Hua Rong attacked the city?

At this moment, the emperor also became nervous.
