The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

After getting completely drunk last night, Sikong Jin didn't know how she got back to her room. After the drunkenness subsided, she only remembered that she seemed to have seen that scoundrel Di Beizun, and then the figure of Diao Ye kept swaying in front of her. As a result, she ended up sleeping under the table in her room all night, and it wasn't until the guards came in the morning to wake her up that they were able to wake her from her deep sleep.

Afterwards, Lord Sikong hurriedly washed up and ate breakfast as quickly as possible before heading straight to the military camp, where Mei Ruhua and others had already organized the soldiers for training.

Perhaps due to the climate, many soldiers in Sikong Jin's army suffered from acclimatization problems when they first arrived. Fortunately, Sikong Jin herself was skilled in medicine, and Tuoba Yu also sent a military doctor, which alleviated the situation.

Since that night, Sikong Jin and Tuoba Yu had become very busy and hadn't seen each other for several days. However, Sikong Jin always felt strange. She wondered if she had drunk something and talked nonsense in front of Tuoba Yu that night, because she noticed that Tuoba Yu looked at her strangely several times.

She had initially intended to test Tuoba Yu, but then worried that someone as perceptive as him would likely miss her probing, potentially making things even more complicated, so she abandoned the idea. However, she knew very well that she couldn't drink too much alcohol in the future; it would definitely lead to trouble!

The army had adapted for quite some time, and the fatigue from the long march had dissipated considerably. Meanwhile, north of the Jiangxi Fortress, news of Xi Fenglie's repeated victories continued to arrive. At the same time, the Tiansheng and Dayong courts began to send urgent letters urging the allied forces to move north and intercept Xi Fenglie's army from heading south.

That day, as Sikong Jin was inspecting the soldiers' training, Heishan, Tuoba Yu's personal bodyguard, suddenly arrived—

"Lord Sikong, His Highness the Third Prince requests your immediate presence at the Marshal's residence; there is an important matter!"

Heishan bowed slightly to Sikong Jin, who was standing with his hands behind his back.

Sikong Jin was surprised. She turned to look at Heishan and straightened her robes. "What important situation? Didn't we just go there today?"

"Your Highness is unaware of this, but judging from Your Highness's expression, something important must have happened. Lord Sikong, you should go and take a look as soon as possible."

Sikong Jin frowned, nodded, then mounted his horse and galloped swiftly towards Yingzhou City.

As soon as they entered the Marshal's Mansion, they saw several generals from Tian Sheng rushing over. Their expressions were all rather strange, and they looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. The soldiers who had been summoned had just learned that His Highness had lost his temper, as if he had received some news and was so angry that he almost overturned the table. So everyone became cautious and walked towards the council hall.

Inside the council hall, Tuoba Yu, still dressed in a light blue robe, sat in the main seat with a stern expression. His face was very unpleasant, his handsome brows were furrowed, and he was holding a newspaper in his hand. His gaze was gloomy, and his whole body was shrouded in a cold and gloomy aura.

"Your Highness, did you summon us here because there is news from the border?"

After a long silence, one of the veterans finally couldn't help but step forward and ask.

'Snapped! '

The old general had barely finished speaking when Tuoba Yu threw what he was holding over. Everyone only saw a blur flash past their eyes before the report in Tuoba Yu's hand disappeared.

Looking in the direction from which the afterimage flew down, we saw that the arc of the shadow landed precisely in someone's hand!

"Lord Sikong!"

The crowd couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

As Sikong Jin strode into the council hall, she saw something flying towards her. She caught it deftly and found it was a government report. She opened it and began to read.

After only a few glances, a hint of solemnity appeared on her delicate face. She looked up at Tuoba Yu in astonishment, her voice heavy, "General Zhao Wen led 50,000 troops to detour through the Jiangxi Gorge and ran into the Xifenglie Vanguard Army. After three hours of fierce fighting in the Jiangxi Gorge, the entire army was wiped out?"

"what!"

"How can this be!"

As expected, everyone was shocked when this news came out!

A few days ago, in order to thwart Xi Fenglie's plan to advance south, the Tiansheng court secretly dispatched an elite force to bypass the Jiangxi fortress and join forces with the soldiers of Yingzhou City to resist the Liao army. Unexpectedly, such a thing has happened.

"Isn't the marching route and the secret dispatch a secret of the imperial court? How could it be such a coincidence that we ran into Xi Fenglie's vanguard? Even we didn't know about this!"

"Yes, we just found out that General Zhao Wen has led his troops to reinforce us!"

"This is simply unbelievable. General Zhao Wen's 50,000 soldiers are almost all well-equipped elite troops. How could they possibly have..."

Everyone felt as if they were in a dream, and could hardly believe it was real—

What kind of unit is Xi Fenglie's Eagle Division? How could a single vanguard unit so easily wipe out their well-equipped 50,000-strong army?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel uneasy. They looked up at Tuoba Yu above and realized why His Highness looked so grim.

“There may be a traitor within your Tiansheng. If I’m not mistaken, Xifenglie’s vanguard must have been lying in ambush near the Jiangxi Gorge for some time. It’s close to the Malan Mountains. When I led my troops from Malan City to Yingzhou City, I passed through that area. The terrain there is perfect for an ambush. You’ve been careless!”

Sikong Jin frowned, closed the report, and casually handed it to a general next to him.

"Traitor?"

Tuoba Yu read a sentence, his face growing increasingly cold. "General Zhao Wen's secret detour to Yingzhou City was ordered directly by the Emperor. Very few people knew about it. Even Zhao Wen's troops, from the deputy general down, had no idea of ​​their destination. How did they leak the information?"

Originally, they planned to use this elite force to severely damage the right flank of Xifenglie and create a two-pronged attack. However, this incident has occurred. If word gets out, the morale of the army will inevitably plummet, and the impact will likely be extremely negative.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Yu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on—
