Not to mention these old subjects were shocked, even the palace maids and eunuchs who had been standing on the upper floor all this while became even more tense when they heard these words. Were these really their own people?
All of them pricked up their ears, afraid that they would hear wrongly …
"…"
Everyone had the same question in their hearts: Why were there so many soldiers gathered outside the Shan Nation?
"The heavens are helping us. The rain has just ended and there is no moon. Those are the people that I asked the crown prince to arrange. There are a thousand torches hanging on the trees in each of the three sides."
Those who were running on the road were the soldiers. They were all soldiers from the four residences, and on each side … If the Crown Prince could borrow all the men, he would only have ten thousand men, which was very far from the fifty thousand men of the enemy army!
"…"
Everyone was stunned. Was this how they play with the army?
Torch?
Tree?
Everyone's brains were running out. They had no idea what was going on. How did she turn more than ten thousand people into so many people?
"Then, what about the sound of horses' hooves?"
"The sound of the horse's hooves is only 500 meters away from the city. If you increase the pace to run around the city, you would not be able to calculate the exact number of horse's hooves, because the ground is wet." The sound of the horse's hooves is only 500 meters away from the city.
"The heavens are helping us today. That's why we are able to achieve such a result. If it was any other weather, it would be a waste!"
"…"
"Wait, this old official wants to think …"
Everyone began to feel dizzy when they heard this. They didn't know what was going on at all. There were only people and horses nearby, so how could there be no people in the distance? Just a tree?
However, it looked like they were closing in on the capital. Even now, they were still moving …
Please, they really don't understand!
"Wh-what is this?!" Recruitment? "
"This move is called Suspicion Formations!" Dongfang Ning laughed in a rare manner. These people were really adorable. Each one of them had a dumb look on their faces due to their desire for knowledge. It was too pleasing.
"Forgotten array formations?"
"Yes, a lie is a lie, a lie is a lie, a lie is a lie." Yes, a lie is a lie, a lie is a lie, a lie is a lie.
This kind of visual observation had never appeared in the ancient times. Even those who were familiar with the situation in the palace would not be able to confirm it, and as the main culprit of the invasion, they would be even more suspicious and would not dare to act rashly.
That was why she dared to say that as long as the crown prince was obedient, the war would not start.
"But those people who are holding the torches are always moving forward …" "Princess, quickly tell us what happened …"
Sure enough, looking at the torches in the distance, it was as if there were people leaving the mountain through the forest. Those people were constantly moving forward, and there were even more and more groups of people coming closer and closer to the capital. If there were only a thousand of them, why hadn't they finished their journey in an hour?
"That's when the torch is passed on. People can stay still, or they can exchange fire with each other …" "It was the torch at the back that passed to the front. The torch in the tree didn't move. It passed to the front and continued to circulate from the back. This is called 'Double Cycle'."
"Plus those people squatting down all at once …" Do you understand? "
"Oh …" He still didn't seem to understand. He would definitely give it a try when he had the chance in the future.
They did not understand the simple way of running a horse signal, so Dongfang Ning had no choice but to ask the Intelligent Brain. After knowing that the enemy had retreated, she planned to return to her residence.
"The enemies outside the city have already retreated, send a message: The people of the crown prince are to immediately go to the West City's encampment to settle some matters, gather people to search the entire city to search for the people. Those of unknown origin have all been chased out of the city or killed, or brought back here, if you all know how to do it, I won't say much more, my mother is waiting for me at home anxiously, I want to go home!"
"…"
"The people on top of the city gate tower, continue to stand until dawn before withdrawing to prevent them from reviving and fighting to the death. Remember, people must be searched using guards, martial arts cannot deter the enemy …"
"Rest in peace, this, this is it?" The emperor didn't really want to release him. Had he really completed such a huge matter?
"It's okay, believe me, come find me at my house if you have anything to do, go back. Those officials who live outside the palace can announce that they are entering the palace, and those who capture them will be locked up without questioning them. If you are afraid, send your army here, search everywhere, and you will be absolutely safe."
"Ning'er, the people of Shan Nation will remember you for today's matter."
"No, let's not talk about this for now. I'm intoxicated, I'm tired. Let's go home!"
"Un, let's go home!" Drunken Wine had a gentle smile on his face as he hurried to follow behind Dongfang Ning. Hearing the word "go home", his heart warmed up for no reason. That's right, their home!
From evening on, he was as silent as the rest of the group. He thought to himself: Where did this girl come from?
No matter how much the Emperor didn't want Dongfang Ning to leave, he didn't dare to stop her. This woman would be like a god in the Shan Nation from now on.
Everyone slowly walked down the stairs with different thoughts. However, they couldn't not hear Dongfang Ning's words today. She was truly magical …
They are all treasures and are very useful to me. When we use them to refine medicine, there will be a lot of wild beasts in the depths of the Beast Garden, so we can keep them, don't kill them, order the people to reorganize them, and try to make sure that they are compatible with human beings. Although the intelligence of the animals are not as good as humans, they are still intelligent beasts.
When they reached downstairs, Dongfang Ning explained the way Beast Garden was handled before leaving with Nameless Old Man and Drunken Wine. It was already midnight and she wanted to return home urgently.
The few officials with the highest authority in the Shan Nation personally escorted her out of the palace. Watching her figure grow further and further away, they finally ordered people to gather all the officials in the middle of the night. They had many things to discuss, and the officials outside the palace probably didn't know that the Shan Nation and capital had almost fallen into enemy hands.
Dongfang Ning would not care about the matters in the palace since she had to deal with them today.
To her, it was as if she had completed a mission and there was nothing to be surprised about.
"Aren't you tired? "Why don't you go back by car?"
Drunk and confused, why would Dongfang Ning refuse to ride in a carriage? Was it really okay for a woman to appear on the streets in the middle of the night?
In addition, her calf was still injured, but look at her. She ran up and down as if she didn't feel any pain. After leaving the palace gate, she was like a bird released from its cage, bouncing and jumping happily …
"Every time I finish a mission, I feel like I've been revived. I really like this feeling of relaxation …"
"Mission?"
"Oh, casually said …"
"…"
It's a classic saying, as long as the people have food and drink, they won't worry about anything else. But she is just a commoner now, and the princess is only a title, although her status is noble, but she doesn't need to worry about national affairs. Dongfang Ning has placed herself in the position of a commoner, it has nothing to do with me, she can just ignore it as much as possible.
Therefore, he could relax a little, but this kind of life wouldn't last for too long. As the saying goes, the more capable you are, the more effort you put in. Sometimes, being too strong wasn't a good thing, as it was difficult to get a short and peaceful life.
