You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately.
These elite soldiers in front of them are naturally much stronger than ordinary soldiers. In terms of individual combat, one against ten is definitely not bragging.
But if they were put on the battlefield, would they be able to defeat one against a hundred in a multi-person battle?
Ning Feng thought it would be better to tell him that the sun would set from the east today and let him accept it.
But that's what happened, but the words can't be said directly.
You must know that these elite soldiers in front of you are not the children of ordinary people or military families. Most of them are illegitimate children or descendants of powerful families. Even if they are well-trained, they are inevitably a bit arrogant due to their background.
Before I can lead this group of people, if I criticize them first, wouldn't that be equivalent to causing trouble for myself?
"Princess Xian, this official is just a school official for the Jinling Martial Arts Examination, not an old general."
Ning Feng really didn't know how to change the topic, so he could only start with himself.
Zhou Jingxian may not have understood it before, but now she understands the human nature and sophistication involved.
She smiled apologetically at Ning Feng: "Colonel Ning is right, I am not very strict in what I say and do."
After a pause, she gestured towards Ning Feng again to a thousand elite soldiers.
"From now on, Colonel Ning will be my deputy, responsible for dispatching you. His orders are my orders. Do you understand?"
"understood!"
The thousands of elite soldiers shouted loudly, but their eyes showed no respect at all.
Good thing.
Zhou Jingxian saw that Ning Feng had dealt with the problem very tactfully just now, so she didn't have any worries at all.
When General Ning went to war on the battlefield, there were countless people following him.
After the fall, brothers still recognized this old general as a natural-born general, and it was easy to lead these thousands of elite soldiers.
General Ning would take charge of ordinary disputes, and she could trust him.
And she only needs to use the title of third-grade princess to frighten the foreign nobles and royal families and deal with the fights caused between them.
You don’t have to do everything yourself.
Pick up those things that only you can do and do them first, and leave the rest to those who are capable of solving them.
This is also the skill she learned from Mr. Ning.
"Vice General Ning."
"The general is here!"
Ning Feng responded subconsciously.
When he realized that he was no longer the deputy general in charge of the army guarding the pass, and the person calling him was not the current majesty, he felt a little dazed when he looked at Princess Xian, whose facial features were very similar to his majesty back then.
Didn't you agree not to call him Old General?
This really upset him.
"Vice-General Ning is temporarily appointed by this princess, so that everyone can know your current position in the capital, Colonel Ning."
Zhou Jingxian explained and talked about the issues she was concerned about.
"Mr. Ning has been writing to you recently, telling you the specific date of his arrival in the capital?"
Have it?
Ning Feng shook his head.
Before he could answer, he said that he had learned the news of his beloved grandson's departure from Princess Xian. The steward of the Princess's Mansion hurried over holding a letter with a happy face.
"Old General Ning, a letter from Jinling!"
Is there a letter from my dear grandson?
Ning Feng almost greeted him in public.
When he realized that soldiers were being trained at this time, he held back.
Just as he was about to ask Princess Xian to take custody of it temporarily, a fiery red shadow rushed over beside him.
"Vice-General Ning, how about I help you open it and read it to you?"
"..."
Ning Feng couldn't refuse this reason that made him feel very considerate.
But asking Princess Xian to read family letters for him?
If word gets out, I'm afraid it will be said that he disregards the royal dignity.
"Princess, please open it first, I... will talk about it later."
"Okay, Lieutenant General Ning, you go ahead and take it apart first."
Zhou Jingxian would not be polite to others.
After getting permission, she opened the envelope carefully, and when she saw the familiar handwriting on it, a happy smile filled her face.
Especially when she saw the banknotes inside, she smiled even more happily.
Mr. Ning is worried that he will have no place to live. Please ask General Ning to rent a courtyard near the imperial city to stay?
How is it possible to rent a courtyard close to the imperial city without waiting for a fourth-grade or above official to demolish it?
"Princess Xian's Mansion is right on the street of the Imperial City. Isn't it more suitable than those courtyards? There is no need to pay rent. I happen to be responsible for guarding the students, and the safest place in the capital is Princess Xian's Mansion."
Zhou Jingxian muttered quietly.
In fact, she had planned this for a long time.
But before Grandpa Huang made the appointment, she was still thinking about what reasons she should find to convince General Ning.
Now that I have an appointment, I will go to ask Grandpa Huang for orders after the meeting tomorrow.
Anyway, Princess Xian is so big, let alone Mr. Ning, even the entire Ning family will not be too crowded.
Ning Feng, who was sorting and selecting various military units, suddenly felt a chill on his back.
While he was free, he quietly looked at where Princess Xian was standing.
Um?
Where are people?
I saw Zhou Jingxian had already walked away, still shouting: "Everyone cleans regularly every day recently, a small sweep a day, and a big sweep every three days. Don't forget to do it."
"Are there any distinguished guests coming to the Princess's Mansion?"
Ning Feng was talking to himself when he saw Princess Xian coming back after giving orders to her servants.
Hurry up and complete the task at hand, so that you can see what is written in the good grandson's letter as soon as possible.
…
More than 150 miles west of Yumen Pass.
It's late autumn, and the scenery outside Yumen Pass is still lush and green.
Especially where there is a city wall, it is surrounded by green mountains and green waters. Due to the prosperous business transactions and busy traffic, after dark, it presents a lively scene under the glow of red lights.
The students from the missions from various countries in the northwest were envious and jealous when they saw this scene.
Their country's territory is only more than a hundred miles away from Yumen Pass, but only during the handover between Qin and Xia, a large number of people will move to the river bank to plant and collect fruits.
As early as a month ago, when the weather had just turned cold, they quickly took the fruits they had worked hard to harvest in the past six months and returned to the plains farther northwest for the winter, in order to prevent the wind and sand outside Yumen Pass from drowning the fruits they had worked hard to harvest. , and the tribesmen were drowned in the wind and sand of the northwest.
However, the people of Daxing were able to rely on their innate architectural talents and the thick and tall city walls to withstand disasters from nature.
With such a gap, there are many voices in their country who want to occupy the place where Daxing has city buildings so that their hard-working tribesmen can have a safe haven.
It is precisely because of this that they formed an alliance with Beidi and challenged Daxing!
"Let's stop in this small town tonight."
Just when people's eyes were all focused on those exquisite and cheap handicrafts, a clear and clear voice sounded like the autumn wind.
The carriage that was advancing slowly stopped immediately.
The people in the mission let out cheers and rushed towards the nearby wine shops and inns.
When the noise outside gradually subsided, the car curtain was opened by the people in the car, revealing a white jade-like arm.
Then, a young man who was less than twenty years old, with white hair and wearing exquisite white and yellow silk woven clothes, raised his head and looked towards the distant east.
"We will reach Yumen Pass after walking for two more days. This pass that has blocked the Beidi people for hundreds of years will eventually be opened by me, the Beidi Imperial Master."
