Li Ruo was shocked by this pig like voice. She squinted her eyes and humphed. "Do you look down on women?" Be careful when she lets them peel the layer.

"You haven't eaten, have you?" Liruo crossed her arms over her chest and spoke with a cold tone. This didn't match with her weak appearance at all.

Everyone was confused and looked at each other.

"With such little strength, you haven't eaten? Are you even qualified to be called a soldier? "

Liruo's face was full of ridicule and her words were merciless. The one hundred men's faces and ears were flushed red.

Whether they were soldiers or not, it was not up to her to criticize them like a little girl. Back then when they went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, who knew where she would drink her milk?

These words not only made the ninety-nine soldiers feel that it was ear-piercing, but even Yu Yang, who was standing behind Li Ruo, and the man who had just discovered them looked displeased.

"You're not convinced?" Liru sneered.

"What's your name?" Li Ruo asked as she pointed at the 18-year-old boy who had dropped his weapon.

"Reporting to the princess, this little one is Da Zhuang!" The young soldier who was called out curled his lips in dissatisfaction and lazily answered as he slowly took a step forward.

Liruo's face turned cold. 'Damn it, is this the military training of ancient times?'

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She lifted her leg and kicked Dazhuang. When Dazhuang was caught off guard, he fell to the ground and golden stars appeared before his eyes.

The people behind her were all furious. How could this person be so rude? He beat her without saying a word. They were sent by the emperor to protect her, not to let her have fun.

"How can you hit someone?" Dazhuang stood up and rubbed his butt as he complained.

"Pah!" With another kick, Dazhuang, who had yet to stand firm, was kicked to the ground. An older man in the crowd slightly nodded his head. He silently watched.

"Even if you are a princess, you shouldn't treat us like this. We are soldiers, not slaves. You have no right to treat us like this!" The crowd was thoroughly enraged.

Lirael only found it funny. Who could tell her that this was the special training of the ancient soldiers?

"You, come out!" Li Ruo was not easily angered, and she was too lazy to waste words with them. She pointed at the middle-aged man in the crowd and shouted.

The man was taken aback for a moment before he smiled. He hadn't seen the little princess looking at him earlier, but she hadn't thought about it. Did she even understand what he meant?

Cheng Ziheng took a few steps forward and nodded his head, feeling more and more that this little princess was not simple.

"You tell them why this princess is doing this!"

Cheng Ziheng smiled in understanding, "Since everyone doesn't understand why the princess suddenly became angry, then I'll tell everyone!"

"Old Man Cheng, you can't invert right and wrong just because she's a princess."

Cheng Ziheng smiled, "In your hearts, am I the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?"

Everyone immediately shook their heads, "Of course not."

If it was anyone else, they would still believe it. But as for Cheng Ziheng, he had always been a man of his word. Everyone was very clear on this point.

"Since that's the case, why don't you all listen to my explanation first?"

After waiting for everyone's agreement, Cheng Ziheng spoke again.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. I'm just going to ask Dazhuang a few questions!"

"What do you want to ask, Old Man Cheng?" Dazhuang was still immersed in his own grievances, but because the one who asked was Cheng Ziheng, his attitude was slightly better.

Normally, Cheng Ziheng didn't talk much, but he was always the most considerate. He was usually willing to help others, and because he was older, everyone respected him. This was also the reason why Li Ruo chose him.

"Dazhuang, tell me, what is the duty of a soldier?"

"Be loyal to your country, fight valiantly, be serious in military discipline, be fair in rewards and penalties, and place importance on your family!" Little Zhuang opened his mouth and started speaking.

"Then what is our mission?"

"Protect the princess and listen to her every arrangement. There will be no doubts, no resistance, no questions …" The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became. As he finished, he lowered his head.

"Alright, I'm done asking my questions!" Cheng Ziheng turned around and reported to Li Ruo. Li Ruo nodded her head in praise. She thought she would need some time, she did not expect him to solve the problem. He was indeed a talented person.

After hearing these words, even the two people behind Li Ruo slightly lowered their heads in guilt.

Perhaps, before this, they still had the same doubts in their hearts.

From the beginning to the end, only Cheng Ziheng remembered what the emperor had said before he left. Moreover, he had always kept it in mind.

"Thank you!" He had only done what he should do, that was all. The little princess' sharp eyes had not only noticed his peculiarity, but now even thanked him, and for a moment she was at a loss as to what to do.

"Ha ha!" Liru smiled, wanting to laugh. This man was really thick-skinned.

"Little Zhuang, this princess can tell you now too, except just now … "Right, what's your name?" Lirael cleared her throat. Just as he was about to praise him, he realized that he didn't even know what Cheng Ziheng's name was.

"Cheng Ziheng!" Liru nodded. It was indeed very silent.

"Other than the two points that Cheng Ziheng mentioned just now, this princess has hit you because you've stirred up everyone's bad mood. You'll be punished for that!" This, of course, referred to the matter of Little Zhuang dropping her weapon when she was on the tree.

"Secondly, when I call you to speak, you actually refuse to answer on behalf of me. This is disrespecting me. Thirdly, as a soldier, no matter where you are, you should always be on your guard!"

At this point, Liru revealed a mocking expression. "Logically speaking, you are a trained soldier, and I am only a weak girl. You should not have been kicked by me, and you should have been prepared for the second time!"
