Quickly wear a life of peace

Dongfang Ye said nothing. He closed his eyes and thought silently for a while. He then wrote an imperial edict of praise and encouragement and sent it to the border town.

When the generals in the border town heard the contents of the imperial edict, they all frowned.

Just praise, no reward?

They didn't believe it and frowned at the official who delivered the imperial edict, wondering if he had been corrupted by someone.

The first thought in everyone's mind was that they were jealous of the rewards and had embezzled them.

After all, they have experienced this kind of thing many times.

I just didn't expect that someone would dare to covet even the princess's things?

Duoduo knew it in her heart. How many emperors would not think too much about it? She didn't care about any reward.

What we need to consider now is how to attack the next city?

Ever since I captured two cities, the Northern Yan Kingdom has become much more obedient and has not made any small moves recently.

According to spies, the upper echelons of the Northern Yan Kingdom are now arguing fiercely and attacking each other for their own interests.

Let Duoduo get a lot of information about the Northern Yan Kingdom.

As for those captives, although they also wanted to take them back, Duoduo asked for too high a ransom, ten taels per person. For so many people, they really couldn't bear to spend so much money.

Logically speaking, ten taels per person is really not expensive. An ordinary adult in the pawnshop can be sold for ten taels, not to mention that these are all soldiers.

The key point is that there are too many people. How can those in higher positions be willing to pay out so much money at one time?

Even if they were redeemed, they would not be their own slaves. They were just a bunch of untouchables and were not worth all the effort they had to pay.

Duoduo asked the civilians who were guarding the prisoners to tell the incident, and the civilians laughed at them in front of them every day.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you. You left your families behind and risked your lives to fight for your emperor, but she wasn't even willing to spend ten taels of silver on you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this your filial and loyal emperor?"

"Hahahaha... In the past you thought our lives were worth less than paper, but now you are even worse than us. Your emperor is not even willing to pay you ten taels of silver."

"That's right, do you know how much money I have made from the Sixth Princess in recent days? Hahahaha, in less than a month, I have earned two taels, hahahaha..."

Only five days passed for those captives who were constantly stimulated, from initial disbelief, to later crying, then gritting their teeth, and finally to numbness.

Afterwards, many people expressed their desire to defect and join the Dongwu Kingdom, and some were even willing to be vanguards (cannon fodder) to attack the Beiyan Kingdom.

Such news was quickly spread by the guards, making more captives willing to turn against their own side and attack the Northern Yan Kingdom.

Duoduo agreed "reluctantly", and thus these prisoners became the main force in the subsequent siege.

For those who performed well and made contributions, Duoduo removed their titles of captives and allowed them to stay here as craftsmen and receive daily wages.

They also promised that once they conquered their hometowns in the future, they would be set free and allowed to return home and reunite with their families.

As the news spread, more and more prisoners joined the vanguard.

With a vanguard that was familiar with the military deployment and the new weapons in Duoduo's hands, they launched a frontal attack and still managed to recapture the lost third city.

Just when Duoduo and the others began to plan for the next battle, Lin Ze came to report that they were running low on food.

Duoduo just found it funny. The schemes in the palace finally affected the border. "How long will the remaining food and fodder last?"

Lin Ze replied, "Less than ten days."

What Lin Ze didn't say was that it was only with the food and fodder that Duoduo had snatched from the enemy that they were able to hold out for so long.

Although Duoduo ate with the soldiers, she had her own space. Whatever she wanted to eat, she had it in her space, so she really didn't notice that the porridge the soldiers ate was becoming thinner and thinner.

At this moment, he couldn't help but frowned, "Do you know what's going on?"

Lin Ze still lowered his head, "I sent people to pick him up, but they didn't find anyone."

This batch of food and fodder should have arrived at the right time, but there is no sign of it yet?

Now that the princesses above have grown up, the court should have been in chaos.

Duoduo decided to go back and give them a warning so that these people would not treat military combat as a joke.

They rode at full speed all the way, and only met the people escorting the food and fodder when they were halfway through the journey.

The leader of this team knew Duoduo, so he simply put the food and supplies into Duoduo's team and planned to go back.

"It turned out to be the Sixth Princess. What a coincidence! I am in a hurry to return to the capital to report. I would like to trouble the Sixth Princess to bring back the food and fodder."

With just a glance from Duoduo, the guards immediately surrounded everyone.

Duoduo didn't say any more nonsense and asked people to open the food bags and check them one by one.

Sure enough, there were problems with these grains. Not only had some of them been soaked in water, some were moldy, and there was a lot of sand mixed in.

Everyone who saw this changed their expressions. Duoduo was so angry that she laughed. "How dare you plot against me! I'm afraid you have all forgotten what kind of personality I have."

After saying this, he ordered his men to tie up the escort officer and others and bring them back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Xuanyunduo neither went home nor entered the palace. Instead, he took the grain and escort officers directly to the house of the Minister of Revenue.

He ordered his men to break down the door of the mansion and bring all the people from the Minister of Revenue's family to the street.

Coincidentally, the Minister of Revenue did not report to work today.

Duoduo picked her up and threw her in the middle of the street, and asked the guards to push her children and grandchildren to her front. "Old thing, I won't waste time with you. You know what I want to ask. Tell me the truth. If your answer does not satisfy me, you will be exterminated in the Shangshu Mansion today!"

The Minister of Revenue certainly knew the reason, but she didn't believe Duoduo would dare to really do it, "Sixth Princess, what are you doing? I am an official appointed by the court, how can you be so unreasonable?"

Duoduo whipped her eldest granddaughter with a whip, and the person being beaten screamed, "Speak or not?"

The Minister of Revenue was furious. This was the successor she had carefully trained! "Sixth Princess, you are going too far!"

Duoduo pulled out a knife and cut off the man's hand. "Will you tell me or not?"

The man fainted from the pain, and the Minister of Revenue's eyes turned red. "Sixth Princess, you are disrespectful of the law. I will go to the Emperor to sue you!"

Duoduo chopped off her eldest granddaughter's head with a knife, and then pointed at the second granddaughter and asked, "Will you tell me or not?"

The Minister of Revenue still wanted to struggle, "Sixth Princess, I really don't know what you want to ask?"

Duoduo chopped off the second granddaughter's head again, and pointed the knife at the youngest third granddaughter, "Tell me or not?"

The Minister of Revenue did not dare to gamble again this time. "Tell me, tell me, I beg the Sixth Princess to show mercy!"

Duoduo nodded and said, "If your answer does not satisfy me, you know the result!"

The Minister of Revenue closed his eyes and fell to the ground dejectedly.
