There is no best in literature, so it is extremely difficult for writers to compete with each other, as no one is willing to admit defeat.

But there is no second to none in martial arts. If one wants to compare who is more powerful among military generals, all one has to do is take out the heads chopped off the battlefield and put them in a row for comparison, and the result will be clear at a glance.

Whoever dares to disobey will be openly ridiculed by the generals.

If you don't accept it, why don't you chop one off and try? Why can't you chop it off? Why are you so shameless?

So General Shen threw the head of the little prince of the Northern Tartars on the commander-in-chief's table. The eldest princess was the one who made the greatest contribution to the great victory in Xuanfu.

Kill the enemy commander and you will get 1,000 taels of silver.

Kill three enemy generals, each of whom will receive 100 taels of silver, for a total of 300 taels of silver.

If one hundred enemy soldiers were killed, ten taels of silver would be given for each of them, for a total of one thousand taels of silver.

This standard was set by Taizu himself. It is legal, compliant, and reasonable. Anyone who has made military achievements can receive this money.

Taizu personally led the army to war six times in those days, and each time he received military merit silver from the military. He received it in a fair and honest manner, and no one dared to complain.

Therefore, according to Su Fengyi's military merit this time, the total military merit silver was 2,300 taels of silver. It was clear and obvious, and everyone was convinced and no one dared to object.

The governor's exchange ticket is a certificate of military merit. After the military department has verified and allocated the silver, the governor can collect the silver with the exchange ticket.

Since even an eight-year-old girl in Xuanfu knew that a human head was worth ten taels of silver, it was obvious that this rule and standard was known to everyone in Xuanfu.

In this case, if she did not accept it, it would be against the rules. So Su Fengyi accepted the ticket openly in front of everyone.

This is the first time that Su Fengyi has earned money with her own abilities, apart from her status as the eldest princess and the prince's salary she enjoys. She deserves to receive it.

Shen Quan returned to Xuanfu and ignored everything else. He was not even in a hurry to find the emperor. The most important thing was to confirm the eldest princess' military achievements.

Now that the important matter was settled, Shen Quan sent someone to find General Yan and asked him to come to the meeting hall in the military camp to discuss the matter.

When they arrived at the meeting hall of the military camp, while waiting for General Yan, Su Fengyi saw that General Shen did not even ask the servants to serve him, but did everything himself, just like a magician. In just a quarter of an hour, he had brewed the tea and arranged the snacks.

Even warm water for washing her face, a towel for wiping her face, and even scented soap for washing her hands were prepared.

Seeing General Shen's smooth and silky movements, Su Fengyi thought to herself that General Shen was nine years older than the Shen family's Major General. He was both an elder brother and a father to the elder brother. It was obvious that he had been raising children for so many years and had developed these skills.

Sure enough, General Shen explained:

“My brother loves desserts, so the military chef usually prepares snacks.

The army is simple, with mostly crude items, hastily prepared, unlike your Highness's princess's mansion, which is fully equipped.

Your Highness, please be patient for a moment. After I have finished explaining to General Yan how to find the emperor, I will take you to rest. What do you think?"

Since it was General Shen's good intention, Su Fengyi smiled and said:

"General Shen is very thoughtful. Thank you for your help."

……

Great victory at Xuanfu, great victory at Qingbiankou, it is almost evening now, and General Yan is arranging a celebration banquet for tonight.

After every battle, there is a celebration banquet, which can be attended by generals of the rank of centurion and above, and ordinary soldiers will also have good wine and meat in the evening.

At the celebration banquet, General Shen will reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have committed crimes in front of everyone. Only by being fair and just, with clear rewards and punishments, can we enforce strict military discipline and establish prestige.

Xuanfu had not fought such a large-scale battle for a long time, so General Yan treated the celebration banquet as a serious event.

If you want to hold a good celebration banquet, the food must be good. When Shen Quan sent people to find General Yan, General Yan was personally tying up a fat pig and slaughtering it with everyone.

Upon hearing that there was an important matter, General Yan, who received the letter, immediately dropped the fat pig and ran to the meeting hall as fast as he could.

General Yan had just run to the door of the meeting hall. When he saw what was happening inside, he grabbed the door frame, stopped himself, and turned around to run.

What was going on? Was he dazzled? Why did he see General Shen holding a towel and helping the princess wash her face?

Considering that the eldest princess had a very bad reputation in this regard, even General Yan who was stationed in Xinghe had heard a lot about it. General Yan couldn't help but wonder if there was something going on between these two people.

If it were in the past, General Shen would have given himself to the eldest princess, General Yan would have felt angry and humiliated.

But today, after seeing the eldest princess’ heroic figure killing the enemy, which was even braver than Taizu’s bravery back then, General Yan thought, hey, it’s not impossible.

It's a rare opportunity for General Shen to have a chance to blossom. No matter how you look at it, he and the eldest princess are a perfect match made in heaven. It can be said that they are a very good match.

In this atmosphere, General Yan believed that he had to be a decent person and did not dare to ruin General Shen's good deeds, so he quietly stepped back and tried to pretend that he had never been there.

Important matters, what could be more important than this?

Even if there is something extremely important now, he cannot go in.

General Yan wanted to leave, but General Shen saw him first:

"Old Yan, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in."

General Yan then came in reluctantly and said:

"What's the important matter? I'm busy slaughtering pigs.

I won't bother you, and you won't bother me, okay?"

Su Fengyi took a towel and wiped her face. She saw General Shen leading General Yan to the map and pointed at the river leading to Jimingyi from Qingbiankou:

"The emperor is missing. You lead 500 people and divide them into 20 teams. Go along this route and search for him separately to bring him back."

General Yan was even more unhappy:

"Is this your priority? Go find someone else. I'm busy killing pigs. They can't do it without me. Others can't hold the pigs down. The pigs can run away. What are you going to eat tonight?"

General Yan was really reluctant to go. If the Emperor came out during a war, General Yan would fight to the death, even if he was the only one left, to protect the Emperor's safety with his last breath. He would never let the Emperor get into trouble in his hands.

But the emperor just ran out to play on his own. There was a war going on right then and there. It would have been fine if he didn't help, but he was also causing more trouble, so General Yan didn't want to get involved.

Because of the previous imprisonment of General Shen, General Yan himself had some complaints about the emperor.

Previously, General Shen’s deputy general, Deputy General Zheng, left the camp with his personal soldiers and came to find General Yan. He bluntly stated that the emperor was unkind and that treacherous officials were in power, and invited General Yan to go with them. General Yan almost followed Deputy General Zheng.

The emperor favors corrupt eunuchs and his position is unstable. Even the two ministers appointed by the previous emperor did not have a good ending. General Yan saw it and was disheartened.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. General Yan no longer had any reverence for the emperor in his heart. He wished he could die out there. How could he be willing to waste this wonderful evening and miss the celebration banquet for the emperor?

At this time, General Shen said again:

"The princess' maids and guards are all loyal people. In order to protect the emperor, they are all stranded outside. Their lives are uncertain. If there are any of the remaining northern barbarians who have escaped by chance, if we meet them, I'm afraid..."

Su Fengyi also stepped forward:

"Since General Yan has important matters to attend to, how can I force him? Why don't you lend me five hundred men and I can go and look for him myself?"

what?

General Yan thought, that won’t do, the eldest princess and General Shen are so affectionate here, the atmosphere is just right, it’s not easy for General Shen to have his wish come true, he must make it happen, what if the eldest princess runs away.

So General Yan immediately said:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I am willing to serve you. I will arrange it right away."

Before General Yan left, he glanced at General Shen silently, and the look in his eyes meant:

"Old Shen, I'll help you up to this point. The rest is up to you."
