Chapter 573: Can’t Afford Any Trouble

Starting from the next day, people from Ziguo and Chouguo said hello to Ning Xi and left first. Senior officials from other countries also began to leave one after another, including senior officials from Yinguo.

In addition to Ziguo and Chouguo, many descendants of the Twelve Kingdoms' families who followed stayed in Xia City and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the army of earning contribution points.

The soldiers and dudes of the Ning Family Army soon felt the pressure of competition. While they kept scolding those people for being shameless, they also accelerated the pace of grabbing tasks and improving themselves.

Immediately afterwards, many people from the border areas of the Three Kingdoms fled to Xiacheng or nearby villages and towns, and gradually the atmosphere in Xiacheng began to become tense.

The city lord's mansion half a month later.

Ning Xi and Jing Yi were sitting together drinking tea when Shi Jin hurried in from outside.

"Master, the two countries have officially declared war on the Yin Kingdom today. The army has already marched to the border of the Yin Kingdom. The Royal Forest Army and the Li Family Army have also arrived at the border defense line to prepare for war."

Then Shi Jing handed Ning Xi a copy of the latest battle report.

Ning Xi read the battle report and said, "The two armies are quite fast."

This time, the Yulin Army and the Li Family Army were the main forces, with the Ning Family Army as the auxiliary. However, the emperor appointed Jing Han, Li Zefei and Ning Xi as commanders-in-chief of the three armies, each commanding an army.

If there is a problem or a major war decision, two of the three people need to pass it.

Such a decree was opposed by many ministers. Most people only supported one person as the commander-in-chief and the other two as assistants. Among them, Li Zefei was the most vocal, but the emperor strongly opposed and insisted on his decision.

"The legions of both countries have marched to the border. If they don't hurry up, they will be dealt with by military law and drowned in the spit of the people."

Jing Yi paused and said to Ning Xi: "Xi'er, this time my father asked the Ning family army to assist, not because he doesn't want you to intervene in the war, but because he wants you to preserve your strength."

His father's love and protection for Ning Xi was also well-intentioned, but he didn't feel jealous, instead he was very pleased.

Ning Xi's eyes were filled with warmth, "I know!"

If you want to marginalize or get rid of the Ning Family Army, then it is most suitable to let the Ning Family Army become the first marching army to serve as cannon fodder, and it is impossible to appoint her as one of the commanders.

"In addition to resisting the two countries this time, you also have to be careful about fighting for power." Jing Yi thought for a while before reminding him.

Ning Xi nodded: "Well, Li Zefei is a smart man. I believe he will not do anything mindless. The main reason is that he is afraid that the eldest prince will have a brain attack."

Jing Yi laughed. Only Ning Xi dared to say that to the eldest prince, "This is what I'm worried about."

In this war, all three of their princes were assigned to guard the border, and the emperor gave them a good opportunity to prove themselves and make meritorious deeds.

The eldest prince has several new staff behind him, and he is afraid that he will be in trouble if he gets involved with spies from the enemy country or encounters someone who is not clear-headed and provokes him to do something stupid.

The Third Prince's men did not take charge of the military this time, but it was uncertain whether they would do anything to gain credit.

Ning Xi smiled nonchalantly: "Don't worry, cousin, the eldest prince and the third prince can't make any trouble with me. At worst, I'll give them a beating first!"

"..." Several people twitched their mouths. Ning Xi really liked to beat people up if they disagreed with her, and the prince did the same. He was really brave.

I wonder if the eldest prince and the third prince would be so angry that they would vomit blood if they knew what Ning Xi was thinking.

"I can rest assured that you will do things." Jing Yi expressed his trust in Ning Xi.

For him, the limelight in this fight for power is small, and winning by driving the two countries away from the border is more important.
