The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

Several veterans immediately led the soldiers to check the granary.

"It's not just this one bag of grain!" Fucha Xiangming said dismissively. "Li Yan just checked, and apart from the top few bags, most of the grain in the granary is soaked in water!"

“She first took the grain to deceive us, and after we lowered our guard, she made us eat the grain that had been soaked in water.”

"At that time, all troops will lose their fighting capacity without anyone noticing!"

Fucha Xiangming's cold gaze fell on Zhai Rongyu, and he said, "Her sorcery is superb. She and Nan Sang are working together to gain everyone's trust. Her intentions behind this are definitely not simple!"

"Perhaps what she's after is the entire Dragon Flame!"

"In my opinion, she is a spy sent by Nan Sang!"

"Don't let her fool you!"

Just then, the veterans who had gone to check the grain returned, panting, and reported, "General Lu! The granary is indeed full of grain that has been soaked in water!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

General Lu clenched his fist, still refusing to believe it.

Someone must be blind and trying to frame Princess Yongning!

Anyone who dares to cause trouble under his nose will be killed by him if he finds out!

Everyone turned to look at Zhai Rongyu, and seeing her calm and composed demeanor, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Whom should we believe?"

"General Fucha's words are not without reason. What if she really is a spy sent by Nansang?"

"But she's so powerful, why would she use this method against us..."

Li Yan exchanged a glance with Fucha Xiangming and whispered in the crowd, "Maybe she's not that capable at all. The fact that the Nansang troops only shot arrows after running so far might be because they had already conspired with her to put on a show for us, which is why we believed her claim of being a goddess."

"Wouldn't that make everyone lower their guard against her even more?"

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, many of the soldiers changed their attitude towards Zhai Rongyu, and their gazes towards her became somewhat unfriendly.

"Nansang is cunning and treacherous; we must be wary of him!"

Only General Lu, with an upright demeanor, snorted, "No matter what, I believe in the County Princess!"

He didn't believe these speculations.

He only believes what he sees with his own eyes!

The truth is that the county magistrate of Yongning sent grain, and the soldiers had no problem with the first meal. But after they went out to fight a battle, the grain turned out to be defective!

Isn't it obvious that someone is framing me?

Besides, it's an undeniable fact that the County Magistrate of Yongning used his magic to save everyone!

Zhai Rongyu's gaze swept over everyone present, finally landing on Fucha Xiangming's face.

"Since General Fucha suspects that I was responsible for soaking the grain in water, let's go to the granary together and take a look."

She took a step and walked calmly toward the granary.

Her red cloak swayed gently with her steps, giving off an inexplicable sense of composure. The soldiers followed her with some skepticism.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Fucha Xiangming's eyes flashed with a sinister light.

Could it be... that this woman has some other tricks up her sleeve?

Thinking of this, Fucha Xiangming quickly followed and entered the granary together.

Zhai Rong opened each grain sack to check, and when she saw that they were all filled with waterlogged grain, her expression turned cold.

[This Fucha Xiangming, in order to frame me, disregarded the lives of all the soldiers in Guanling City.]

How can such a petty person be fit to be a general?

Seeing her pale face, Fucha Xiangming felt a surge of pleasure.

It seems that the Princess of Yongning County is only putting on a show of composure.

Now that all the food has been lost, he doesn't believe she can prove herself!

He sneered and said, "Princess Yongning, you saw it too, all this grain is soaked in water! You have to give the soldiers an explanation!"

Li Yan chimed in at the opportune moment: "That's right! They owe us an explanation!"

"We will never tolerate traitors from Nansang!"

The Longyan Army immediately erupted into chaos, automatically splitting into two factions.

General Lu pushed his way to the front of the crowd and said to Fucha Xiangming, "You keep saying that the county princess is a spy, what evidence do you have? The county princess brought an imperial edict with her!"

Fucha Xiangming glanced at him coldly, "Imperial edict? This demoness has boundless magical power, what difficulty could she possibly have in forging an imperial edict?"

Forgery?

Was this imperial edict a forgery?

The soldiers who suspected Zhai Rongyu immediately started chattering.

"So, the county magistrate's order for us to leave Guanling City to support General Zhai was really a scheme against us!"

"Once Guanling City's troops are all gone, Nansang will be able to take advantage of the situation and invade!"

"That must be it!"

"What a brilliant scheme you've devised! You vixen! What else do you have to say?"

They raised their eyebrows in condemnation of Zhai Rongyu.

The soldiers on the other side who supported Zhai Rongyu also shouted, "All of what you've said is just speculation!"

"What proof do you have?!"

For a time, the two sides were arguing fiercely.

Zhai Rongyu pinched the bridge of his nose and raised his voice, saying, "Everyone, please hear me out."

The soldiers continued to argue and shout.

She grabbed General Lu's meteor hammer and slammed it to the ground with a deafening bang, startling everyone.

The soldiers immediately fell silent and turned to look at her.

Zhai Rongyu then picked up a bag of grain and poured out the top half of the waterlogged grain. "Look at the grain at the bottom of this bag, it's still dry."

"This means the water was poured in later."

General Lu rushed to the remaining grains, rummaging through them with his large hands, and exclaimed excitedly, "It is indeed as the princess said!"

"The water hasn't even reached the bottom yet, it's not even halfway there, so it's clear that it was splashed on us after we entered the military camp!"

"Moreover, this person acted hastily, otherwise all the grain would have been flooded."

The young soldier also spoke up with a sense of justice: "The county magistrate has been hanging around right under our noses since she arrived, and she hasn't acted alone at all!"

"It couldn't possibly have been her!"

"Someone must have sneaked into the grain warehouse and poured water on her to frame her!"

After hearing this, the soldiers found it reasonable and switched sides, turning to support Zhai Rongyu.

Fucha Xiangming's face suddenly darkened.

He glared at Li Yan fiercely.

idiot!

You can't even handle this simple thing!

Li Yan lowered his head somewhat guiltily.

Zhai Rong noticed their subtle movements and understood what was going on.

She tilted her head, a mischievous smile flashing in her bright eyes, and suddenly said to Fucha Xiangming, "General Fucha, I forgot to tell you, when we were transporting grain, I came to the granary with everyone and scattered some things near the grain."

Fucha Xiangming's heart skipped a beat.

thing? what?

Li Yan was also a little nervous.

Zhai Rong's clear voice flowed like ripples on water, "After the soldiers took the first bag of grain, they sealed off the granary. Anyone who came in afterward would have my special powder on their feet."

"The perpetrator poured water on every bag of grain, so he must have lingered in the granary for a long time."

"I reckon my powder is covering the soles of your feet right now."

"This powder is colorless and odorless. Once it gets on your skin, it cannot be washed off. However, it turns blue when it comes into contact with water."

She looked at everyone with a calm and composed expression.

"If everyone takes off their shoes, the person whose shoe soles turn blue when wet is the culprit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fucha Xiangming and Li Yan's expressions froze instantly.
