The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 404 Belief and Disbelief

As if guessing his thoughts, He Wuyang suddenly said, "Grandfather, the capital city is very different now than before! You will be happy when you see it."

They will surely admire His Highness just as much as he does.

General He snorted softly, "I hope so, but if I find out you're lying to me..."

"That grandson should offer his head as an apology!"

General He: That's not necessary.

He couldn't be bothered to look at his nonchalant demeanor: "After Your Highness rests for a few days, we will return to the capital together."

Zheng Xun touched his nose: "Well, I didn't come to pick you up."

"Is there anything else important? No rush, you can leave after you've finished taking care of it."

"No, I'm not going back to Beijing."

"what!"

General He even used his inner strength, letting out a loud, surprised roar that made everyone else cover their ears.

Zheng Xun nodded somewhat absentmindedly.

"No, that won't do! A wise person doesn't stand under a crumbling wall..."

“Grandfather,” He Wuyang stopped his grandfather, who seemed somewhat deranged, “you seem to have some misunderstanding about His Highness’s strength. For His Highness, the Brown Kingdom is not a dangerous wall.”

General He was not convinced and even felt that his grandson was a fanatical believer who had been brainwashed.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he was so blindly confident in His Highness.

He Wuyang understood his thoughts and could only patiently reassure him: "You can rest assured, His Highness is highly skilled in martial arts, he will definitely be fine."

"Highly skilled in martial arts? Is your grandfather's martial arts skill lacking?"

"Well, compared to Your Highness, your martial arts skills are indeed nothing."

General He dismissed it as nonsense and continued, "The people of the Brown Kingdom are ruthless and unscrupulous, especially Qi Yongji. Your Highness, this is not something that martial arts can control. Their tricks are impossible to defend against!"

That's what makes Qi Yongji so difficult to deal with.

Others who are rulers or generals must always pay attention to their reputation.

Qi Yongji was not particular.

He only needs to put on a facade, and people will believe he's a good person and flock to do things for him.

He never worries about losing people's hearts, so naturally he doesn't need to be timid or hesitant.

If you don't care about morality, there are many more paths you can take.

People in the capital always care about their reputation. Can Your Highness, who is used to such an environment, really deal with the methods of the Brown Kingdom?

He Wuyang innocently spread his hands towards Zheng Xun, indicating that he couldn't persuade him.

Zheng Xun looked at Wei Yanxing.

Wei Yanxing shook his fan.

He knew he couldn't do without him.

He cleared his throat: "General, there's no need to worry. Our princess is a little deity in the Great Yong. No one in the Great Yong can escape her eyes."

General He stared at him for a while, his disapproval growing stronger: "Your Highness, your subordinate has gone mad. How can you let a madman stay by your side?"

Wei Yanxing's fan seemed to be rusted and could no longer be waved.

Yu Rong chuckled.

Wei Yanxing said irritably, "You still have the nerve to gloat? If you're so capable, then you do it!"

"I'll go then!" Yu Rong stepped forward. "General He, even if you don't understand His Highness, don't you understand the Emperor and those old foxes in the capital? They don't object at all to His Highness leaving the capital. Aren't you surprised?"

General He thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

“Those old fogies probably think that since Her Highness is a woman, they would be hoping something happens to her.”

The smile on Yu Rong's face instantly vanished.

Wei Yanxing sneered arrogantly, "You're no good either."

Yu Rong retorted, not to be outdone: "Then at least I'm a little better than you."

At this moment, Lü Mengying spoke up: "The old general can see for himself."

"What do you think? A martial arts contest?"

"No, no, no," Wei Yanxing shook his head, saying mysteriously, "Our Highness doesn't engage in martial arts. If she were to make a move, it would be fatal!"

Yu Rong objected: "You can't say that! Saying that someone has to kill someone with a single move makes our prince seem so heartless! Besides, how can someone who can't even control their own power be considered powerful?"

The conversation between the two drifted further and further away, and General He's suspicions deepened.

Zheng Xun rubbed his forehead.

No wonder General He didn't believe her.

After Wei Yanxing and the others caused such a commotion, she was starting to doubt her own abilities.

General He turned to Lü Mengying, who seemed the most reliable, and asked, "What do you think?"

"do not know."

General He: ...

Wei Yanxing burst out laughing.

General He is still too young; there are some truths he cannot understand.

It's obvious, what kind of normal person can hang out with them?

He Wuyang spoke up for Lü Mengying, saying, "Grandfather, she really didn't know about this."

General He glanced at him sideways: "So you know?"

“I don’t know, but I have a way,” He Wuyang winked mysteriously, then said loudly, “Your Highness must not have eaten well on the way. It’s almost noon, and I have already asked Steward He to prepare a meal. Your Highness can try the food from Liaozhou first.”

Unlike the meticulous and refined style of food in the capital, the cuisine of Liaozhou is prepared in a rather bold and unrestrained manner.

The table was laden with meat dishes, the strong aroma of spices mingling with the fragrance of meat, a flavor completely different from that of Beijing.

This kind of food suited Zheng Xun's taste quite well.

It's high in calories, which can quickly replenish her superpowers, and it tastes pretty good too.

The moment General He saw Zheng Xun's eating habits, his goodwill towards Zheng Xun skyrocketed!

Zheng Xun ate so fast that General He couldn't help but pick up the serving chopsticks to serve her food.

Zheng Xun ate whatever was offered to him, accepting everything without hesitation and enjoying it immensely.

After the meal was finished, General He beamed and said, "You really don't seem like someone who grew up in the wealthy capital. The way you eat is quite like Wu Yu when he was little. You need to eat more. Martial artists aren't afraid of getting fat. You need to grow as tall and strong as Wu Yu. Don't believe that weak and frail thing. If you're tall and strong, even without martial arts skills, you'll have plenty of strength, and no one can bully you."

He was clearly in the mood for conversation, and his gaze toward Zheng Xun was filled with affection.

Zheng Xun's expression was quite subtle.

She never imagined that winning over General He's heart would be so simple—all it took was food.

She nodded seriously: "Yes, it's good to have strength. With strength comes confidence."

General He smiled broadly: "Good child, are you full? If you're still hungry, I'll have someone bring you some more."

Zheng Xun quickly refused, "That's enough, that's enough."

If you keep eating, it will never end.

At this moment, He Wuyang suddenly sighed.

General He looked over and asked, "Starting to be picky about food again?"

He Wuyang: ...

He stopped being a picky eater a long time ago.

He ignored his grandfather and said the words he had prepared: "I don't know how things are going in Haiyang County."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light screen lit up in time.

General He looked at this novel contraption, his eyes slowly widening.

He Wuyang was a little nervous.

My grandfather is getting old, and I don't know if he can handle this kind of shock.

"Hey, what's this? It's really interesting!"

He Wuyang: ...

Well, he's worrying unnecessarily.
