Chapter 167: Things That Can Bring Happiness

By the afternoon, the heavy rain had subsided.

Without the threat of the Great Wilderness Night, it could be said to have come just right, all the fires in the city were extinguished, and the smoke that had risen for a day and a night was finally suppressed.

The princess thought that a fierce battle awaited her, but the intelligence brought back by the reconnaissance team from the front line was a big surprise. Seeing that the battle situation was not right, the invincible gunboat was hit by the black fog when it set sail and withdrew, and half of its hull collapsed, and at this time it had been pushed by the current to the shore of the estuary.

There was no sign of enemy activity around the ship, and considering the stormy and bad night, it was likely that the surviving sailors of the Dongsheng Kingdom had abandoned their ships and fled.

After that, the north and east of the city were thoroughly searched to prevent any enemies from hiding in the houses. At the same time, some residents were allowed to enter the city one after another to reduce the pressure on the supply of camps.

Ning Wanjun naturally did not forget the initiator of all this-the Wang family. Although this family is not the direct murderer who caused the Jinxia City catastrophe, it is in some ways more hateful than the murderer.

She handed over the investigation of the Wang family to Xu Sanzhong and Father-in-law Li to be responsible.

Of course, she originally wanted Xia Fan to be in charge of this matter, but the other party rejected the proposal.

Two days later.

"Can I move?"

"Please hold on a little longer. Qiu Yue wrapped the bandage around her arm twice, and finally fixed it on the princess's back, "Okay, will you try to shadow and not affect your activities?"

Ning Wanjun turned her arms in a circle, took two deep breaths, "Chest...... It felt a little tighter. ”

"Ah, that's okay, I know the size of Your Highness best. Qiu Yue clapped her hands and said, "Tie it tightly so that it won't pull the wound on your shoulder." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I have come to see you. Mo Yun pushed open the door of the dormitory, saw Ning Wanjun naked, and hurriedly retreated, "Uh...... I didn't know you were changing the bandages. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's a common thing in the military. Ning Wanjun said disapprerovitically, "You come in and talk." ”

Mo Yun hesitated, and eventually curiosity took over. She re-entered the room, pretending to look around, but the corner of her eye remained on the princess.

It was the first time she had seen the princess unwrap her clothes—her chest and left shoulder were tightly wrapped, while her right shoulder and abdomen were exposed. There is no trace of fat on Ning Wanjun's flat lower abdomen, and the lines on both sides of the navel are evenly unfolded, connected to the ribs. The shoulders look round and fair, and the half-clavicle is slightly slanted, which completely sets off the curve of the neck, making it look delicate and exquisite. It's hard to imagine that such a petite body can burst out with unimaginable power, even if it gallops on the battlefield, it will not fall behind at all.

"A wound on the shoulder...... Are you feeling better?"

"It wasn't a fatal wound in the first place? Ning Wanjun said lightly.

"It's not that simple," Qiu Yue retorted. If this wound is put on the servant's body, he may not have to rest in bed for a month. If it is put on Sister Mo Yun-"

"Alright. Mo Yun will not go to the battlefield, how can you assume so. ”

"The maid just wants to remind His Highness that even if you are a person who is emotional, there is a limit to the injuries you can bear. And...... It's far from being unhindered, right?" You see...... Bleeding again. ”

"Your Highness...... Ning Wanjun?" Mo Yun frowned, "Do you have to rush to the front by yourself?" I don't know much about military formations, but after reading the history books, no royal family will take the lead in the charge when they go on a campaign, right?"

"So none of them really controls an army. "Ning Wanjun smiled?" How do you think I managed to get so many soldiers willing to follow me in such a short period of time?"

Without waiting for Mo Yun to speak, she continued, "It's actually very simple, first, I can lead them to victory, and second, I will be rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes." The most trusted thing for soldiers is never the emperor or the minister who sits in the temple, but the general who can fight with them and achieve victory. Maybe one day in the future, I don't have to do everything to be sure, and then I'll be qualified to think about that. But at least for now, I have to make sure I can keep winning before I have a chance to take down an enemy who is far superior to me. ”

Mo Yun opened his mouth, but finally failed to say a word of dissuasion. She certainly hoped that the other party would be safe, but she also knew in her heart that losing the battle in the name of safety would only put the princess in a more dangerous situation.

After all, the road she was going to take was a thorny one.

Mo Yun silently made up his mind that he must improve the various designs of the Trap Beast as soon as possible, and put mass manufacturing on the agenda as soon as possible.

The potential of the Trap Beast in Jinxia City's First Battle has been undoubtedly demonstrated—she believes that once such equipment can be equipped with hundreds of people, no, even a dozen people, it can greatly improve the princess's chances of victory.

"By the way, where is Xia Fan?" Ning Wanjun put on a loose robe, and then tightened his belt, "He doesn't seem to have come to see me in the past two days." ”

"This ...... Actually, there is. Qiu Yue hurriedly explained—if it had been before, she wished the princess didn't know about it, "He came to the dormitory the night after the end of the war, but at that time you had just finished taking the medicine and fell asleep, so he didn't stay long. Right now...... He must be in the villa too. ”

"Did you come at night...... He really doesn't pick the time. Ning Wanjun chuckled, "Well, I just have something I want to ask him." ”

"Let him come and see you?" Qiu Yue immediately replied.

Ning Wanjun thought for a moment, "No need, I've been holding back for two days, so let's go out for a walk." ”

Walking to the gate of the side courtyard, the princess waved her hand, signaling that the guards did not need to report, and walked into the courtyard alone.

Two days later, there was no trace of heavy rain in the villa, and the sun was shining outside, and there was a warm feeling on the body.

Xia Fan was lying on the bench with his eyes closed and resting, but his head was not resting on a pillow, but on the fox demon's legs. Li seemed to let him do the same, holding a book in both hands and flipping through it.

There was obviously something wrong with this scene, but it made Ning Wanjun feel an inexplicable sense of tranquility and harmony.

Seeing the arrival of the princess, Li Xian bowed his head slightly, then put down the book and patted Xia Fan's head.

The latter rolled over, "Okay, you can rely on it for as long as you want after it's safe." ”

"That being said, are you sure you want to do the same in front of the princess?"

Xia Fan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. After glancing at Ning Wanjun, he pretended to be casual and looked at the sky, "The weather is really good today." ”

Ning Wanjun was amused, what kind of cover-up method is this, it is too perfunctory!

Probably in the entire Jinxia City, he is the only one who dares to come so nonsense.

That's right, it's nonsense, not disrespect.

Because he didn't mean to do it, this state was the norm for him.

"It's really good. Ning Wanjun shrugged, and then was reminded by the stinging pain in his shoulder that the injury had not healed yet, "You obviously have time to bask in the sun here, why don't you go and check the Wang family? I can't reward you with an official position, and I can't give you a knighthood, and the raid is the biggest reward I can give at the moment." ”

Filling one's own pocketbag while copying the seal is a default rule for all parties.

"Plagiarism has to be picky, and there is a limit to what can be taken away, unless it is a professional, it can't bring happiness to people, so I still don't mix this kind of thing. Xia Fan stood up, "Is there something wrong with Your Highness looking for me?"

Silver can't bring happiness, but leaning on the fox demon's leg can? Ning Wanjun couldn't understand this preference.

She decided to ignore the other party's explanation, "Well, Wang Qingzhi is dead. ”
