The Princess’s Inner Thoughts Were Overheard by Her Emperor Father

King of Zhou and King of Chu were both shocked.

Yuan Army's spies had already reached Jing Country?

And Xiao Yunzhou had predicted it? No, it wasn't Xiao Yunzhou, it must be a master from Jing Country!

Soon, King of Zhou and King of Chu saw that the soldiers appearing inside and outside the city gates were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, looking dispirited, with many missing arms and legs.

The two kings were dumbfounded.

This Xiao Yunzhou was truly cunning, knowing that the Yuan Army had sent spies, he deliberately put on a show for the Yuan King!

King Zhou Ling was sweating profusely, thankful that he had stopped in time and hadn't opposed Jing Country.

Xiao Yunzhou was indeed a deep and scheming old fox!

[Oh, without my imperial father, this year's Oscar for Best Actor is not worth watching.]

[Well, well, this is a strategy to make the Yuan Army lower their guard. I've certainly grown smarter~]

Xiao Chuchu's praise came swiftly.

Xiao Yunzhou looked pleased, finally turning to King Zhou Ling beside him, "Brother Zhou, could I ask you to delay spreading the news about Princess Ronghua and Yuan Kai's capture?"

King Zhou Ling was startled, "Alright."

If they wanted the Yuan King to lower his guard, naturally they couldn't let them know what had happened in Jing Country.

"Then, Brother Zhou, I'll bid you farewell here," Xiao Yunzhou parted ways with King Zhou Ling.

Three days later, when the Yuan King received news that King Zhou Ling had refused to let Yuan pass through, he was furious. He immediately mobilized his troops, entering Jing from the side of Sheng Country.

Even though the Duke of National Defense opposed it, the Yuan King still insisted, "Spies have reported that Jing Country's military strength is sparse, their defenses are lax, their soldiers old and their horses weak. If not destroyed by Yuan, they will fall to another country's hands."

"I am merely following heaven's will!"

Early the next day, 100,000 Yuan troops set out.

On the third day, King Zhou Ling received news from his spies that 100,000 Yuan troops were marching swiftly towards Jing Country from the right side of Sheng Country.

King Zhou Ling hurriedly sent a message to Jing Country, regretting not bringing Princess Ronghua back to his country. After some thought, he immediately ordered the Crown Prince of Zhou to lead 10,000 troops to aid Jing Country from the rear.

On the same day, Princess Yunwu, who had received a secret letter from the King of Chu, used the Tiger Token to dispatch 20,000 Chu troops to assist Jing Country. Sanda, the Khan of Wu Yun Country, sent 5,000 cavalry to help.

At dusk on the sixth day, the Yuan Army reached the border of Jing Country. The Crown Prince of Zhou, King of Chu, and Xiao Yunzhou stood together on the city wall to observe.

According to the message, 100,000 Yuan troops were at the border, but now the Crown Prince of Zhou and King of Chu saw Xiao Yunzhou as calm as Mount Tai, his face composed.

They both began to truly admire Xiao Yunzhou.

However, only Xiao Yunzhou himself knew that he wasn't calm, but listening to the fairy's thoughts!

[Oh, is it going to break out into war so quickly? Is this for real? I thought my butterfly effect would bring changes, but instead, it seems to have brought forward the crisis that would have hit Jing Country three years later.]

[Even now, it doesn't feel real to me.]

Xiao Chuchu, carried on Xiao Yunzhou's back, only her large grape-like eyes visible, looked somewhat panicked.

[Am I going to become a princess of a fallen country!?]

[Could it be that I didn't die from that cold before, only to die here?]

[Heavens, I thought I could grow up, and when I could speak, teach the kitchen's Chief Liao how to make hamburgers and fries, eat spicy snail noodles...]

[I could even teach the Hanlin Academy what real manga is... but now, is this baby's life in danger?]

[Wait, we now have repeating firearms, improved cannons, and first-class war horses from Wu Yun Country, cavalry...]

[Let me calculate, our current latest battle strength difference—]

Xiao Chuchu didn't want to see soldiers die, nor did she want to die herself!

Xiao Yunzhou listened to his daughter's thoughts with increasing heartache and urgency.

He also wanted to know the current military strength difference between Yuan and Jing.

But Xiao Chuchu was suddenly interrupted.

"Report—"

"The Divine Machine Camp's repeating firearm cavalry unit, dispatched 1,000 men, killed 13,000 enemies outside Yushan Pass, the remaining Yuan Army fled in defeat."

"The repeating firearm cavalry unit, one man wounded!"

[Huh?]

[Holy crap! The Yuan Army... ran away?]

[Is it over?]

Xiao Chuchu was stunned.

Equally stunned were the Crown Prince of Zhou and King of Chu.

It was too fast, far too fast!

Their reinforcements hadn't even joined the battle!

The Yuan Army was already gone?

"Killed 13,000 enemies, over 80,000 fled in defeat, excellent, excellent!" Xiao Yunzhou was overjoyed, "The Divine Machine Camp shall submit a memorial for rewards, I will grant great rewards!"

The Crown Prince of Zhou and King of Chu were jolted back to reality by Xiao Yunzhou's voice.

After a moment's thought, they understood.

Jing Country had known in advance when the Yuan Army would arrive and their marching route through necessary terrain. The Jing troops were in a state of prepared defense.

Meanwhile, the Yuan Army had been marching continuously for six or seven days and was already exhausted.

Add to that the fact that the Jing troops had previously feigned being old, weak, sick, and disabled, causing the Yuan Army to greatly lower their guard. They never imagined that before they could even set up camp to rest, they would be caught off guard by the Jing troops!

[Wow, the Crown Prince of Zhou's admiration for Jing Country instantly reached 100%.]

[Crown Prince of Zhou automatically added to the elite handbook.]

[The system says I completed 100% progress in one go, and will reward me with another skill.]

Xiao Yunzhou: "...!"

Pleasant surprises always come so quickly!

[Oh, the skill 'Celestial Dream Entry'?]

As soon as Xiao Yunzhou heard the name of this celestial method, he almost got goosebumps.

His little princess was truly a fairy!

He had only ever read about the legend of celestial beings entering dreams in miscellaneous records.

Now it had actually come true!

Xiao Yunzhou turned his head to look at his daughter's rosy little face, as if he were looking at a celestial being. He didn't even dare to blink.

['Celestial Dream Entry' allows me to transform into a celestial being and provide guidance through dreams to individuals up to a thousand miles away.]

[The less guarded the person is against me, and the more they believe in gods and ghosts, the higher the probability that they will be influenced by my dream entry.]

Xiao Chuchu blinked, as if she had received a new toy.

Her system, while sometimes mischievous, was still very useful at critical moments.

She immediately prepared to try it out.

[Let's see whose dream I can enter now~]

[Oh, I see King Zhou Ling's queen, sleeping so early?]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes widened.

Xiao Chuchu scrolled down a bit more, [Hmm, a bit further, there's a pale golden figure, the Duke of National Defense!]

[Even further, there's a purple figure, oh, Queen Yuan?]

[Holy cow, I see the Yuan King!]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes bulged.

Impressive!

His little princess couldn't even ride a horse yet, couldn't reach Yuan State, but she could already 'converse' with these people.

[Oh my, I need to think about who to talk to.]

[It's so troublesome, who to choose, it's really going to kill me with this decision paralysis.]

Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched. Even celestial beings have many troubles.

If only he could have the painful dilemma of choosing whose dream to enter.

Finally, as the night grew darker, Xiao Chuchu finished her deliberation and directly pointed her soft, chubby little finger at the name 'Yuan King'!
