Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss
Chapter 17 The General's Little Darling
Upon hearing Ji Xiaosong's words, Xiao Shen couldn't help but smile indulgently, gently flicking her nose as he said, "Madam is intelligent, but rest assured, our spies have already ascertained the approximate location of the Qi King's provisions, and we will act as soon as the time is right."
Ji Xiaosong's eyes lit up, and she continued, "Husband, I also heard that the King of Qi's armory is located in a very secluded valley. The terrain there is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But I know a small path that can go around to the back of the valley."
Before Xiao Shen could reply, Ji Xiaosong pushed him aside, walked to the wooden table, picked up a piece of scrap paper, and began to draw.
Ji Xiaosong looked focused, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the pen in her hand moved quickly across the scrap paper.
She carefully described the location of the path, which meandered through several dense forests and piles of rocks.
She marked potential obstacles and terrain features to be aware of along the path, and also indicated several suitable ambush locations.
After finishing the drawing, Ji Xiaosong gently put down her brush. Fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, but her eyes were full of excitement and anticipation. She handed the draft paper to Xiao Shen and said, "Husband, look, this is the situation of that path."
Xiao Shen took the draft paper, examined it carefully, and his face first showed surprise, then a hint of doubt appeared. He looked up at Ji Xiaosong and asked, "Madam, how did you know about such a confidential matter?"
Careless!
Ji Xiaosong paused slightly, her eyes flickered, and then she composed herself and said, "Husband, on my way to the North, the caravan took this route to avoid bandits. I noticed something was wrong at the time, so I secretly investigated."
Hearing Ji Xiaosong's words, Xiao Shen felt heartbroken and pulled her into his arms, saying softly, "Madam, your journey has been far too dangerous."
Ji Xiaosong leaned against Xiao Shen's chest and said softly, "I am willing to do things for my husband. Take this to the Crown Prince and formulate a strategy as soon as possible."
Xiao Shen released Ji Xiaosong and said solemnly, "Madam, rest here and do not take any more risks."
After saying that, he carefully folded the drawing by Ji Xiaosong and put it in his bosom, then turned and strode away from the tent.
As soon as he left the tent, Xiao Shen summoned two trusted guards and solemnly instructed them: "You two guard outside the tent and make sure to protect the lady's safety. Without my order, the lady must not leave the tent even a step."
The two guards replied in unison, "Yes, General!"
Xiao Shen glanced back at the tent again, still feeling uneasy, before quickly walking towards the main tent.
His young wife is still too naive.
Reaching the North safely was already extremely dangerous, and the information provided last night was even more perilous.
If others were to find out that she also knew about Qi Wang's secret affairs, the Crown Prince and others would surely become suspicious.
He was fearless, but he didn't want the Ji family to be suspected because of this.
Therefore, this matter must not be known to the Crown Prince and others under any circumstances.
After that, his young wife should also avoid appearing in front of these people to avoid arousing suspicion.
Upon arriving at the main camp, Xiao Shen dispatched scouts to investigate the valley. In less than half a day, the scouts returned to report.
The scout bowed and said, "General, the valley is indeed as you predicted, and the path does exist. However, there are Prince Qi's sentries along the way, so we must proceed with caution."
Xiao Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Summon all the generals; this matter requires careful consideration."
Before long, the generals gathered in the main tent. Xiao Shen informed them of the situation, and they began to discuss it animatedly.
One of the generals said, "Why don't we launch a surprise attack at night and catch them off guard?"
Another general shook his head and said, "No, there are too many sentries. Taking action rashly might expose us."
Xiao Shen's gaze was firm as he said, "We can first send someone to take care of the sentries, and then send elite troops to infiltrate through that path. With this inside and outside cooperation, we will surely win."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Xiao Shen immediately gave the order to make arrangements, and everything was ready.
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
Xiao Shen personally led his elite troops along the path he had deduced, successfully eliminating the sentries and quietly infiltrating the valley.
Inside the valley, the King of Qi's soldiers were completely unprepared.
At Xiao Shen's command, the soldiers descended like tigers from the mountain, slaughtering the Qi King's troops and causing them to abandon their armor and weapons.
Ultimately, Xiao Shen successfully seized the Qi King's armory, adding a crucial advantage to his efforts in suppressing the rebellion.
Ji Xiaosong waited anxiously in her tent until Xiao Shen returned, at which point her heart finally settled down.
Xiao Shen walked into the tent, looking exhausted, and Ji Xiaosong immediately went to greet him.
"My husband, you're finally back!" Ji Xiaosong's eyes were full of concern and joy.
"Madam, I have successfully completed my mission; the armory has been captured."
Ji Xiaosong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I've been worried about you."
"I am sorry to have troubled you, Madam. This success is also thanks to the clues you provided."
"Why talk about such things between husband and wife? It's just that we don't know how long this war will last."
Xiao Shen picked up Ji Xiaosong, walked to the edge of the bed and slowly sat down, letting Ji Xiaosong sit steadily in his arms.
He held her tightly, resting his chin gently on the top of her head, and said softly, "Don't worry, my lady. The Crown Prince and I will try to make peace with the Prince of Qi after his setback. After all, we are all subjects of Chen Kingdom, and we do not wish for a major war to break out."
Ji Xiaosong tilted his head slightly and said, "If that's the case, it would be best. But will the King of Qi agree to make peace so easily?"
"Madam, do not worry. King Qi's armory has been seized, and his strength has been greatly diminished. He will surely weigh the pros and cons."
Xiao Shen gently patted Ji Xiaosong's back, then softly combed the stray hairs on her forehead with his fingers, his eyes full of tenderness and comfort.
"What if peace talks fail?"
Xiao Shen's gaze sharpened, and he said firmly, "If we cannot make peace, then I will protect you and do everything in my power to keep this place peaceful."
Ji Xiaosong wrapped her arms around Xiao Shen's neck and said, "Husband, no matter what, I will face it with you."
"With your words of encouragement, my wife, I will certainly live up to your expectations." Xiao Shen was deeply moved and kissed Ji Xiaosong on the forehead.
The two embraced for a moment, and Xiao Shen continued, "Madam, please rest. You've had a hard time these past few days."
"What is my weariness compared to yours? You bear the safety of the people of Chen Kingdom on your shoulders, working tirelessly day and night. There is not much I can do, I only wish you peace and well-being."
Xiao Shen was deeply moved by Ji Xiaosong's words.
He gently released Ji Xiaosong and said, "Madam, please rest first. I will go and discuss the follow-up matters with the Crown Prince. In addition, I have informed the Ji family and the Tian family about your trip to the North, so as not to worry them."
Ji Xiaosong nodded obediently: "Thank you, my husband. Please be careful in everything you do."
Xiao Shen got up, placed Ji Xiaosong on the couch, and then left.
Upon leaving the tent, Xiao Shen's expression instantly turned serious, and he walked steadily toward the Crown Prince's tent.
Upon arriving outside the Crown Prince's tent, Xiao Shen announced his arrival and, after receiving permission, entered the tent.
Upon seeing Xiao Shen, the Crown Prince hurriedly asked, "General Xiao, have you come with a new idea this time?"
Xiao Shen bowed and said, "Your Highness, in my humble opinion, we need to make several more preparations regarding the peace talks with Prince Qi."
"Oh? What brilliant idea does General Xiao have?"
