The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing shook his head helplessly, propping his head with one hand, and said slowly: "There are too many things to worry about! I used to be free and unrestrained, and I was used to living a carefree life. Who would have thought that now that I have ascended the throne, I would be restricted everywhere, and countless eyes would be watching my every move. Even if I am not careful in my words and deeds, I may be criticized. Moreover, there are many national affairs, and the political affairs are piled up like a mountain, which I can't count. I am really tired!"

"You are the only one in all dynasties who has been canonized as the King of Shuiyong by the people. The people wholeheartedly support you and respect you, the emperor, as a god! You should relax." Sha Guanghan said sincerely.

However, Wan Lianxing frowned, his worry evident in his expression. He continued, "Since I was named the King of Shuiyong, I have not slept well for a single day. The situation is urgent now. The Southern Yan Kingdom is eyeing me covetously in front of me, and the Dalang Kingdom is ready to make a move in the back. They are attacking me from both sides, and I will be trapped in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides."

Upon hearing this, Sha Guanghan hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, comforting him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As the saying goes, when an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth. There are two generals in front of us who will obey your orders and follow your heart. Even if the war is tight in the front, we, the father and son of the Sha family, are there to resist for you in the back. You can rest assured."

Wan Lianxing nodded slightly, showing a look of relief on his face, but soon regained his seriousness and asked, "With you, the father and son of the Sha family, I naturally feel more at ease. But this time, the Great Lang Kingdom has sent a full 30,000 troops to deal with me. The enemy and our forces are so different. I wonder how you plan to deal with this tough battle?"

Sha Guanghan said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. Although the 30,000 enemy troops seem to be numerous and powerful, they are not to be feared in my humble opinion. Think about the powerful crossbows in our army. Such weapons are so powerful that they can achieve the effect of using only a small amount of force to move a large amount of force."

Wan Lianxing had been leading troops in battles for more than a year. He knew how powerful their weapons were, but this time they were outnumbered, so it was hard to say who would win or lose. He had just ascended the throne, so he could only win and not lose, so he asked the father and son of the Sha family, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, to leave Duanlu Forest. Wan Lianxing pondered for a moment, still a little worried, and asked, "Do we have a good chance of winning this battle?"

Sha Guanghan said with a firm look: "If the emperor does not trust me, I can issue a military order. If I cannot win this battle, you can chop off my head."

Wan Lianxing said: "I am not a person who kills people indiscriminately and without reason. Over the years, I have never killed a single one of my subordinates. The reason why I am so cautious about this matter is that I just don't want you to suffer a defeat on your first trip."

"I, Sha, have been blessed with the emperor's protection, and I have no way to repay him. Now that the emperor can use me, I, Sha, am willing to go through fire and water, risk my life, and sacrifice my life for the emperor. As long as the emperor dares to use my father and son, even if the Sha family fights to the last drop of blood, we will definitely block the Dalang Kingdom from entering the country!"

Hearing these passionate words, Wan Lianxing could not help but nod slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face. He waved his hand and announced loudly: "Okay! Since you are so loyal and willing to serve me, I will appoint you as the general today to lead the entire army. At the same time, I will appoint your son Sha Yueteng as the deputy general to assist you. Immediately prepare the army and prepare to attack Dalang!"

Before he finished speaking, Sha Guanghan hurriedly took his son to kneel on the ground again, kowtowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace. Long live the emperor!" Seeing this, Wan Lianxing hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and helped the father and son up from the ground.

Sha Guanghan, who had just stood up, couldn't wait to ask, "Your Majesty, where is the army of Dalang Kingdom now?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Dalang's army will reach the border of Fengying in two days."

When Sha Guanghan heard the urgency, he said, "Your Majesty, I must set out immediately and make arrangements in advance."

Wan Lianxing pulled Sha Guanghan and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Let's talk before we go."

Sha Guanghan suddenly laughed again: "I really have something to tell the emperor. My wife gave birth, the baby is more than half a year old."

"Really? Congratulations then?"

Sha Guanghan said: "I have to congratulate the emperor?"

"Why do you say that?"

"It's a daughter, and she's going to marry your nephew. You won't deny it, will you?"

"How can you not recognize him? How is the child?"

"How could my child, Sha Guanghan, be wrong? You are just as clever as I am."

Wan Lianxing was afraid to hear people say that the child looked like Sha Guanghan. If a girl looked like Sha Guanghan, she would not be pretty. If she was gruff and loud, she would be even worse.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Sha Guanghan went to make arrangements, so Wan Lianxing had no choice but to let him go. With Sha Guanghan out of the mountain, Wan Lianxing's heart was half relieved. Because Sha Guanghan had experienced many battles and was good at deployment and formation, this was also the main reason why Sha Guanghan had been able to defend Songchun Pass for so many years.

Shang Xi looked at her messy dressing table and quickly called for the servants.

After a while, a maid ran in hurriedly and asked respectfully, "Young Madam, what do you want?"

Shang Xi pointed at the dressing table and said, "Can you help me take a look? My dressing table looks like it has been robbed for several days in a row. It's so messy that I can't even find my rouge."

The maid bowed her head and explained: "Young Madam, please calm down. We servants have always been clean and would never dare to touch your things."

Shang Xi glared at her and said angrily, "When did I say that you guys are dirty? I'm just curious, who turned this place upside down like this? Even if you wanted to turn it over, you couldn't be so rough, right? You should have been gentle at least! Look at this powder, it's all over the place!"

The maid replied with a look of grievance: "Young Madam, how dare we, the servants, say anything?"

Shang Xi heard this and realized that the girl knew who did it but didn't dare to say it. So she deliberately put on a stern face and acted unhappy. She had to find out who this person was today: "Why don't you dare to say anything? Who touched my things and I'm not allowed to ask? Isn't it a waste of these good things to go through so much trouble?"

The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and whispered tremblingly: "Madam, this matter... is really hard to say."

Shang Xi put her hands on her hips and raised her voice to command, "Tell me what I want to hear!"

The maid hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Madam, if I tell you, please don't say it was me who told you."
