Chapter 221 A Power Not to Be Underestimated
Perhaps to some extent, Zhao Haoxuan does love me more deeply than I do!
However, Wang Xinyao has always been an extremely rational person.
Ever since she was betrayed by her trusted boss, no matter what the situation, she would always leave a way out for herself just in case.
This is also the case even when facing the man she deeply loves.
This style of behavior may also be due to the two completely different times and backgrounds they live in!
"Brother Zhao, let's go to Taier Mountain first to find out about the situation on General Xu Ping's side. Do you think it's okay?" Wang Xinyao's voice broke the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Hearing this, Zhao Haoxuan nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Xinyao, let's set off immediately without further delay!"
Taier Mountain stands majestically and its terrain is dangerous. It can be said that "one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot break through."
The mountain is surrounded by natural barriers. If you are not familiar with the local terrain, you will never imagine that a huge army of up to 20 people is secretly stationed in these seemingly peaceful mountains!
At this moment, the two people were hurriedly walking along the winding and rugged mountain road, with no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery on both sides of the road.
After a quick journey, we finally reached the top of the mountain.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and greetings to Madam!" Xu Ping led a group of generals and soldiers and bowed to Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao.
These people looked solemn and their movements were standardized, showing that they were well-trained.
It turns out that this army is currently Zhao Haoxuan's trump card.
The reason why they have such strong cohesion and loyalty is not only because of Xu Ping's outstanding leadership.
It’s not just because Wang Xinyao often gives soldiers precious elixirs to improve their strength.
More importantly, Zhao Haoxuan’s extremely noble status made everyone feel awe and conviction.
Even those bandits who were later subdued are now loyal and devoted to Zhao Haoxuan.
Zhao Haoxuan smiled, waved his hand proudly, and said loudly: "Soldiers, thank you for your hard work. Please stand up quickly!"
His voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the mountains like a bell.
Upon hearing Zhao Haoxuan's words, the army responded with a loud voice: "It's not hard for us. It is our great honor to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The passionate shouts resounded through the sky, shaking the entire mountain forest.
Once upon a time, a large number of these soldiers lived a wandering and homeless life.
Many of them lived in fear all day long, suffering from hunger and pain.
However, since following Zhao Haoxuan, they have found a sense of belonging and lived a stable and orderly life.
Therefore, everyone is grateful and willing to go through fire and water for it.
Now, not only do they have enough to eat and sleep well, but their family members at home have also been accommodated.
More importantly, they have transformed from ordinary people to practitioners, which also means that they can live longer!
Even if one day in the future they have to sacrifice their lives heroically for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they don't have to worry about what will happen after they die.
Because they know that their loved ones will be properly cared for and protected.
This way, they can throw themselves into the battle without any worries!
Wang Xinyao stood quietly in place, her eyes slowly sweeping over the rows of neat and orderly soldiers in front of her, her heart filled with emotion.
At this time, Zhao Haoxuan walked forward and gently helped Xu Ping, who was kneeling beside him, to his feet.
He smiled and asked with concern, "General Xu, how is the military situation these days?"
Xu Ping quickly stood up and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, all is well in the army. Ever since the brothers took the elixir Madam gave them, their strength has greatly improved. Now they are all full of energy and their morale is high!"
Hearing this, Wang Xinyao smiled slightly and used her mind to take out many large bags from the space.
The bag was filled with round and smooth pills that exuded a faint fragrance.
She pointed to the bags piled on the ground and said, "This is a new batch of Spirit Gathering Pills I recently refined. Their efficacy is even stronger than before."
"General Xu, please allocate the training to each of the brothers according to their different levels of cultivation."
Xu Ping bowed deeply and said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam, for your generous gift! I will fulfill my mission and lead my soldiers to bravely defeat the enemy in return for your kindness, Madam and Your Highness!"
As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers present shouted in unison: "Thank you, Madam!"
The voice was like a thunder, resounding through the sky, filled with endless gratitude.
Every resolute face is filled with deep respect and love for Wang Xinyao.
Xu Ping led Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan into the room, only to find that the interior was decorated simply and elegantly.
At this time, Aunt Xu came over with a smile on her face, holding two cups of steaming hot tea in her hands, and said softly, "Your Highness, Madam, please have some tea!"
Ever since Xu Ping settled in Taier Mountain, Aunt Xu also came to the mountain.
This Aunt Xu is by no means an ordinary woman. She is a heroine with an important responsibility, specifically responsible for training the women who were previously imprisoned in the mountains.
After her careful training, these women have now become a force that cannot be underestimated.
Zhao Haoxuan sat down steadily and looked at Xu Ping seriously.
He solemnly ordered, "General Xu, I will be returning to the capital in at most two weeks. During this time, this team will remain under your command. You must remain vigilant and await my orders at all times!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhao Haoxuan.
He answered in a resounding voice, "Yes, Your Highness! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
At this moment, Zhuge Quan, who was sitting next to him, could no longer contain his inner anxiety.
He stood up suddenly, clasped his hands together, and asked, "Your Highness, when you return to the capital, would you consider sending troops to support General Chen?"
"My subordinates' strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently. I have always wanted to return to my hometown as soon as possible to kill those Japanese soldiers who dared to invade our border and avenge the national hatred and family feud!" When Zhuge Quan said this, his face was full of excitement.
Zhao Haoxuan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Zhuge Quan with firm eyes.
He said slowly, "Don't worry, Military Advisor Zhuge, we won't keep you waiting too long for this opportunity!"
Wang Xinyao said with a sweet smile, "Military Advisor Zhuge, you must work harder on your training these days. When you go into battle, you must kill as many Japanese devils as possible!"
Hearing this, Zhuge Quan couldn't help but look a little surprised.
But in the blink of an eye, he burst into laughter: "Madam, you are absolutely right. Those Japanese are indeed like ghosts. Calling them 'little devils' is really the most appropriate!"
