I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Wenchang was startled and stood up suddenly, almost tripping over the fire.

"Your Highness, are you awake?" He scratched his head in panic, his eyes flickering, not daring to look directly into Su Luo's eyes.

Xing Hen was much calmer. He stood up and walked to Su Luo, handing him the water bag.

"Your Highness, you are awake. Drink some water to moisten your throat." His voice was still low, but with a hint of imperceptible concern.

Su Luo took the water bag and took a sip from his hand.

The cool water moistened her dry throat and made her feel much more comfortable.

She returned the water bag to Xinghen and her eyes fell on Wenchang again with a searching look.

"Wenchang, what did you ask Xinghen just now? I seemed to hear you discussing things at the border."

Seeing he couldn't escape, Wenchang had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness, I'm just curious. Why are you suddenly in such a hurry to go to the border?"

"We have been traveling day and night these past few days, with almost no rest. You are frail, and I am worried that you cannot bear it."

He carefully observed Su Luo's expression, afraid of angering her.

When Su Luo heard his words, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes.

She knew that although Wenchang usually talked a lot, he really cared about her.

"Are you worried about me?" she asked softly, her tone much softer.

"I dare not." Wenchang lowered his head quickly, but there was a hint of grievance in his voice.

"I am just..."

"Okay, I know you care about me." Su Luo interrupted him with a hint of smile in his tone.

"You want to know why I'm going to the border, right?"

Wenchang and Xinghen looked at each other and nodded.

They were indeed very curious as to why Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly made such a decision.

"Since you want to know, I will tell you." Su Luo smiled faintly and took out a letter from his arms.

"You'll know just by looking at this."

She handed the letter to Wenchang and motioned him to open it.

Wenchang took the letter with some doubts, carefully opened the seal and took out the letter inside.

By the light of the fire, he read carefully.

The handwriting on the letter was a little sloppy, but Wenchang could still make it out.

As he read deeper, his expression gradually became serious and his brows furrowed tightly.

Seeing this, Xing Hen, who was standing by, couldn't help but lean over to take a look.

After reading it, Wenchang was silent for a moment before handing the letter to Xinghen.

Xinghen took the letter and read it carefully.

His expression was more serious than Wenchang's, with a hint of shock and worry in his eyes.

After reading the letter, Xinghen also fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, but just looked at the letter in their hands silently, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Su Luo watched their reactions quietly without urging them.

She knew the contents of the letter were indeed difficult for them to accept.

After a long time, Wenchang slowly raised his head, his eyes slightly red.

"Your Highness..." His voice was a little choked, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Xinghen also raised his head and looked at Su Luo, his eyes full of questions and worries.

"Your Highness, what is written in this letter... is it true?" His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of trembling.

Su Luo took a deep breath and said slowly, "How could I possibly lie to you? If it weren't for the emergency, why would I sleep in the open air and travel through the night?"

She paused, her eyes revealing a resolute and decisive expression. "This letter was sent to me urgently from General Xiao, the border guard, over a distance of eight hundred miles. The Northern Desert Barbarians are gathering their forces and are ready to strike. A battle on the border is imminent!"

"However, someone in the court secretly obstructed the army and withheld military pay and rations, causing the soldiers at the border to be short of food and clothing, and their morale was low. General Xiao had no choice but to ask me for help."

Su Luo's voice was filled with worry. "I can provide the soldiers at the border with a few months' supply of food and fodder to alleviate their immediate needs. But for the long term, we need to start with the court and completely resolve the food supply issue. I'll find a way to get more food and fodder in the future."

Wenchang's blood boiled upon hearing this. He suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness cares about the world and the people. This is truly a blessing for our Daliang! I am willing to follow Your Highness until death, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xing Hen also knelt on one knee and said with a folded hand, "Your Highness is a benevolent and virtuous person. Xing Hen is willing to serve you with all his heart and soul, devoting himself to your service until his death!"

The two men shouted in unison, "Your Highness is wise and brave, a true role model for us! We will do our utmost to assist Your Highness and defend our country against foreign enemies!"

Su Luo looked at the two loyal servants in front of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that in this chaotic world, it was rare to have two such trustworthy people.

"Okay! I feel relieved with your words!" Su Luo's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence.

She stood up, glanced at the two of them, and said slowly: "However, there is still a difficult matter that needs to be resolved right now."

"Wenchang, please think of a solution. Although we can provide food and grass to the soldiers, we have no way to explain the source of these food and grass. I am still young, and I don't know whether General Xiao will believe me." Su Luo frowned. This was indeed a difficult problem.

Wenchang thought for a moment, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Your Highness, don't worry. Since you can't explain the source, there's no need to explain it."

He lowered his voice, leaned close to Su Luo and said, "Your Highness, think about it, if we deliver the food and fodder directly to the military camp but avoid telling us where it came from, wouldn't that make it even more mysterious?"

"General Xiao is a veteran of many battles and a man of vast experience. He must know that some things in this world defy common sense. The more he struggles to understand, the more he will respect you. When the time comes, your proposal for cooperation will be a natural outcome, won't it?"

Xinghen added, "Wenchang is absolutely right. Your Highness, all you need to do is demonstrate your ability and determination, and convince General Xiao that you can help him resolve the border crisis. He will naturally choose to cooperate with you."

Su Luo couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "Wenchang, you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. However, you do have a point. Warfare is all about deception. Sometimes, using both truth and falsehood can actually help achieve your goals."

"In that case, let's do as you say. After we arrive at the border town, Wenchang, you first find a remote but large enough warehouse to secretly store these grains and fodders." Su Luo ordered.

"I obey your command!" Wenchang responded immediately.

Su Luo looked at Xinghen again: "Xinghen, you are responsible for gathering information and understanding the situation in the border town, especially General Xiao's behavior and the attitudes of the generals in the army."

"I understand." Xinghen replied in a deep voice.

Su Luo nodded, his eyes showing a hint of fatigue, but more of a determination: "You all know that I have some... magical qualities. These food and grass were obtained by me using... special means."

She left it vague on purpose, leaving room for their imagination.

"After arranging the food and grass, we will go to the military camp to visit General Xiao. We will act according to the circumstances at that time." Su Luo said finally.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wenchang and Xinghen responded in unison, their voices full of confidence and expectation.

Under the night sky, the firelight flickered. The three figures were stretched out, as if foreshadowing that they were about to embark on a road full of challenges and unknowns.
