C360 Letter

Xie Qingrong laughed and shook her head helplessly. However, she did not put this matter to heart and continued to patrol the next area.

However, the place that she was going to inspect would be controlled by General Lin An, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

As expected, once they reached there, the soldiers were brimming with energy and vigor. Even though the cold wind was blowing, they still held on to their positions. Even General Lin An was constantly patrolling and arranging manpower.

Seeing Xie Qingrong coming over, General Lin An revealed a rare smile, and said with extreme satisfaction: "I admire the great princess' fame from her battle."

This praise was from the bottom of his heart. After all, Xie Qingrong was just a mere female, but she was able to reach such a degree.

Xie Qingrong didn't display any arrogance at Lin An's praises, she only smiled slightly and said: "General Lin is also growing stronger and stronger. If these soldiers didn't have General Lin's training, they wouldn't have been able to do such a thing."

"However …" As he spoke to here, he paused, "Although Army of Chu is temporarily evacuating from outside the Jiang Zhou City, there will always be a time for them to attack. "After all …"

With that, he stopped talking. Xie Qingrong looked at Jiang Zhou City behind him. Although the battle was imminent, the citizens of Jiang Zhou City were still doing what they were doing, as if they were not affected by the battle at all.

Xie Qingrong clenched her fists. She could not gamble with the millions of commoners behind her.

Lin An obviously understood Xie Qingrong's words, as the hand holding the sword gradually retracted.

The overcast sky finally completely darkened as night gradually fell. There was not a single star in the night, and it was so lonely that it was cold and detached.

However, the oil lamp in the camp was burning brighter and brighter, reflecting all of the files that Xuanyuan Chen was looking through seriously.

Lin Mu brought Shen Haoxuan to Xuanyuan Chen's tent, seeing that he was serious and quiet, Shen Haoxuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quietly sat together with Lin Mu on a chair, in order to not disturb Xuanyuan Chen.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Chen finally put down the scroll in his hand, rubbed his swollen head, and asked: "Haoxuan, how are the preparations for the food and clothes?"

Shen Haoxuan then reported: "Reporting to Your Highness, all the supplies have been prepared. All of them have been sent to the customs, and we can arrive at the military camp tomorrow morning."

Xuanyuan Chen nodded, he was never worried about Shen Haoxuan's efficiency.

"Did you encounter anything amiss along the way?" Xuanyuan Chen continued to ask.

Shen Haoxuan thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "I didn't find anything wrong with it, but when I was collecting the food, I discovered that the wealthy merchants were secretly storing the food. "I think they are planning to make a huge fortune in the war. Once the war starts, food is essential, and once the price is too high, it might not be as simple as it is now."

Speaking till here, Shen Haoxuan's heart was a little worried, but he still endured it and did not let it go, relying entirely on Xuanyuan Chen's decision.

Xuanyuan Chen's eyes darkened as he laughed coldly, "From the very beginning, I had already guessed that this would happen, which is why you had asked me to prepare the food early. However, even if the price is too high, what can they do in front of the absolute imperial power? "

She pursed her lips, then asked Lin Mu about the situation of the reinforcements: "Lin Mu, how long will it take for the reinforcements deployed from the capital to reach the Jiang Prefecture?" Xie Qingrong had always been a thorn in her heart ever since Xie Qingrong had helped him guard the Jiang Prefecture.

Lin Mu replied, "We will reach the Jiang Prefecture in about fifteen days. After all, the Jiang Prefecture was close to the border of the Chu Country. However, I heard that the one leading the group is General Li. With him here, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. "

Although General Li Yuanshan is a bit old, but his military capabilities are obvious to all, and he has a lot of experience, so he is good at planning.

Xuanyuan Chen frowned. Even though General Li Yuanshan was leading the team, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that something unexpected would happen.

"How many reinforcements has the capital sent?" Xuanyuan Chen asked.

Lin Mu was a bit hesitant, and didn't know how to speak to stop Xuanyuan Chen from angering up. Xuanyuan Chen, seeing that Lin Mu had dawdled for a long time, couldn't help but frown and ask: "What's wrong?"

Lin Mu closed his eyes and quickly replied: "Fifty thousand."

"Foolish!" Xuanyuan Chen shouted in anger.

"Cough, cough."

"Cough, cough."

Xuanyuan Chen was so angry that he could not help but cough. He clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, the anger in his heart bubbling up.

As an important fortress at the border of the Jiang Zhou City and herself, even if Xie Qingrong was lucky enough to defeat the fifty thousand Army of Chu s led by Ye Jiaze, it would still be fine.

Adding General Li's reinforcement of fifty thousand, the entire border guard of Jiang Zhou City only had fifty to sixty thousand men. Once the Army of Chu went south and went all out to attack the Jiang Zhou City, how could the fifty thousand army possibly fight against the Chu Country's Lions?

"Is this an imperial father's personal decree? Could it be that royal father had become muddle-headed? How could such a crucial moment … "How?" Xuanyuan Chen clenched his fists and said somewhat helplessly.

He hated himself for being so powerless, if it was A Rong … What if A Rong died in Jiang Prefecture?

Once he had this thought, Xuanyuan Chen was unable to hold back the worry and panic in his heart.

Lin Mu pursed his lips, and comforted: "Your Highness, the crown prince's wife has her own destiny, she will definitely be able to endure it. Furthermore, it is not the last moment yet, so how could Your Highness act rashly? "

Xuanyuan Chen rubbed his aching head, slowly calming down the anger, worry, panic, and other emotions in his heart.

He let out a breath slowly and said, "I hope so."

The three of them discussed for a while, Lin Mu and Shen Haoxuan could see the exhaustion on Xuanyuan Chen's face, and just as they were about to leave, they heard Xuanyuan Chen calling out to them.

"Wait a little longer, I still have some things I haven't instructed you two to do."

Xuanyuan Chen said, "Lin Mu has been paying more attention to Wu Huan's situation these few days, I'm afraid that they will be raiding the city in the next few days."

On the battlefield, blades and swords had no eyes, but he was still unable to put Xie Qingrong there peacefully. Now that Shen Haoxuan was back, it just so happened that there was an extra person to take care of him.

He had wanted to go personally, but the Mo Bei couldn't leave him.

After they had received Xuanyuan Chen's orders, Shen Haoxuan and Lin Mu took the initiative to leave.

Xuanyuan Chen twisted the wick in the oil lamp, took the letter in his hand and gently stroked it, then opened the letter with a smile on his face.

This was a letter that Xie Qingrong spent a lot of time and effort to write to Xuanyuan Chen in order to make him feel at ease.

It only spoke a few words, yet told all the layout and movements she did within the Jiang Zhou City, without missing a single word, to Xuanyuan Chen.

Xuanyuan Chen laughed and neatly folded the letter before putting it back into the letter. He thought for a bit, then clipped the letter into the pages of his book to prevent it from any damage.

This was the first letter A Rong had written to him, so she naturally had to properly preserve it.
