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

A few days later, in the border town.

On the dusty official road, an inconspicuous carriage slowly approached.

Wenchang drove the carriage, and Xinghen rode a horse, guarding on both sides of the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Su Luo closed his eyes and rested.

After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the border town.

The border town was the first line of defense of the Daliang Dynasty against the invasion of the barbarians in the northern desert.

There are heavy troops stationed here all year round, the city walls are high and the security is strict.

However, the border town at this time was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

There were few pedestrians on the streets and most of the shops were closed. Occasionally, a few pedestrians walked by, but they were in a hurry and had sad faces.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if a war was about to break out.

Following Su Luo's instructions, Wenchang found an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

This warehouse was originally used to store grain, but due to disrepair, it has been abandoned for a long time.

The warehouse was large enough to accommodate all the food and supplies that Su Luo brought.

Moreover, the location is remote and not easy to be discovered.

Wenchang and Xinghen moved bags of food into the warehouse and stacked them neatly.

Su Luo stood at the door of the warehouse, observing the surrounding environment.

She found that there was a small path near the warehouse that led directly out of the city.

This gave her a bold idea.

By the time all the food and supplies were stored, it was already dark.

Wenchang and Xinghen returned to Su Luo and waited for her next instructions.

"Xinghen, what information did you get?" Su Luo asked.

Xing Hen stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, I have already found out everything. General Xiao is upright and strict in his military discipline, and he is deeply loved by his soldiers."

"However, due to the court's withholding of military pay and rations, morale among the army has plummeted, and the soldiers are full of complaints. General Xiao is deeply concerned about this, but he has no solution."

"Also, I've heard that several generals in the army seem dissatisfied with General Xiao and are secretly colluding with certain forces within the court."

After hearing this, Su Luo frowned.

The situation was more complicated than she imagined.

"It seems that we must meet General Xiao as soon as possible and explain our purpose." Su Luo said.

"But, Your Highness, how can we meet General Xiao? The military camp is heavily guarded, and it may be difficult for us to get in." Wenchang said with some concern.

Su Luo smiled slightly and said, "How difficult is that? We can explore the military camp at night. With our martial arts skills, we shouldn't be discovered."

The night was as dark as ink, and the military camp in the border town was shrouded in silence.

The occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers further highlighted the darkness of the night.

The three of them blended into the night like ghosts, moving silently between the tents.

Their movements were light and swift, avoiding all patrolling soldiers and heading straight for the commander-in-chief's tent in the center of the camp.

Su Luo stood outside the tent and signaled Xing Hen to stay outside on guard. He then took Wen Chang with him, gently lifted the tent curtain, and walked in.

The tent was brightly lit.

A middle-aged general in armor was sitting at a desk, flipping through a military book in the candlelight.

He was tall and strong, with a resolute face, and his brows revealed the majesty of a veteran on the battlefield.

This is the general guarding the border, Xiao Yi.

The sudden appearance of Su Luo and Wen Chang did not surprise him.

He slowly put down the military book in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the two uninvited guests in front of him with sharp eyes.

A young man about ten years old, dressed in luxurious clothes and with extraordinary bearing.

The other one was obviously dressed as a servant, standing behind the boy with a vigilant look.

The attire of the two men clearly showed that they were from the capital.

Moreover, Xiao Yi did not feel any hostility from them.

"I wonder what important matter has brought you here so late at night?" Xiao Yi's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of inquiry.

Wenchang stepped forward, bowed, and said, "As expected of General Xiao, his martial arts skills are truly profound. We both tried our best to conceal our presence, but we were still discovered by the general."

He paused and continued, "I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. I hope the general will forgive me."

Su Luo didn't say anything, but took out a token from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yi.

The token is carved entirely from white jade and is engraved with a lifelike phoenix, which emits a faint glow under the candlelight.

This is the symbol of the royal family, representing Su Luo's identity - Princess Wanning.

Xiao Yi took the token and looked at it carefully.

Although he was stationed at the border all year round, he was still very familiar with the royal token.

After confirming the authenticity of the token, Xiao Yi's expression suddenly became serious.

He immediately stood up, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said in a loud voice: "General Xiao Yi pays respect to Her Royal Highness Princess Wan Ning!"

Su Luo stepped forward, helped Xiao Yi up, and said softly, "General Xiao, please stand up. This is not the imperial palace, so there is no need to be polite."

Xiao Yi stood up, but his expression remained respectful. "I wonder if Your Highness the Princess has come here so late at night, but does Your Majesty have a secret order for me?"

He was filled with doubts.

According to common sense, the princess should not appear in this war-torn border.

What's more, he entered the military camp quietly in the middle of the night.

The only explanation is that the emperor has a secret mission to give to Xiao Yi.

Wenchang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty didn't know that you had come to the border."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he was stunned.

Isn’t it the emperor’s will?

So why did this little princess come to the border after such a long journey?

Judging from her appearance, it doesn't seem like she came to the border for a visit on a whim.

"General Xiao, let's cut to the chase." Seeing Xiao Yi's puzzled expression, Wenchang got straight to the point. "Your Highness has received news that the soldiers at the border are starving and suffering."

"So, Her Royal Highness has collected a batch of food and fodder herself and has already transported it to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city. General Xiao can send someone to count and check the receipt."

After hearing this, Xiao Yi was so surprised that he was speechless.

He never expected that Princess Wan Ning came to the border just to deliver food and fodder to the soldiers!

This is simply a timely help!

You know, the soldiers at the border have not had a full meal for a long time.

The imperial court withheld military pay and food, leading to low morale and widespread resentment among the soldiers.

Xiao Yi was worried about this, but he had no idea what to do.

He wrote to the court many times, requesting the allocation of food and fodder, but all his requests fell on deaf ears and there was no response.

Now, Princess Wan Ning actually delivered food and supplies in person, which made Xiao Yi very moved.

"Your Highness..." Xiao Yi's voice was a little choked, "You are truly... truly the savior of our soldiers at the border!"

Su Luo smiled slightly and said, "General Xiao, you are too kind. As a princess, I should share the worries of the people and consider the soldiers."

"Although the quantity of these provisions is small, I hope they can alleviate our urgent needs."
