Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

Zhang San lazily remarked from the side, "Enemy situation? What enemy situation? Don't shout nonsense."

"The lieutenant said that starting a fire and cooking doesn't count, the other party eating doesn't count, and cleaning up the pots and pans doesn't count either. If you keep shouting nonsense, don't drag me into the scolding later."

"No!" Li Si exclaimed anxiously as he looked around. "This time it's a real enemy situation! General Zheng is almost at war with the other side!"

"What?!?!"

Zhang San was startled, snatched the telescope, and took a closer look.

"My goodness, it really is General Zheng! We're still keeping the peace sign up, so why is General Zheng out of the city fighting? Does the commander-in-chief even know about this?"

Li Si anxiously said from the side, "Whether you know it or not, you have to report it to the deputy general! This isn't a meal; this is a real enemy situation!"

Zhang San frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, we can't report it."

"I believe it was General Zheng who initiated the attack on the enemy. This was our initiative, not an enemy attack."

"General Zheng must be acting on the commander-in-chief's orders. Let's just wait and see."

Yesterday's events serve as a lesson.

Reporting enemy intelligence is something that must be done with utmost care.

Otherwise, he might lose the right to use the telescope that he had finally obtained.

He really wanted to watch the food across from him, and he wanted to watch it every day.

Li Si: "..."

What you said seems to make sense, but something feels off.

"Nothing's wrong," Zhang San waved his hand. "Stay calm, observe the situation, don't make a scene. Wasn't yesterday's lesson enough?"

Li Si: "...Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhang San was satisfied, and he stared intently at the telescope.

Zheng Quan's figure can be clearly seen through the telescope.

Zheng Quan and his team have already confronted the Black Hawk Guards.

"You old emperor, bring out that traitor Zhou Wentong! I want to fight him!" Zheng Quan shouted fiercely.

Today his goal is clear: first and foremost, to capture the traitors and bring them back to Pingkou City for the commander-in-chief to deal with.

The emperor, holding his bowl, ate while glancing at Shen Qing: "Madam Shen, hurry up and finish this quickly, so as not to delay everyone's meal."

He hadn't even finished his congee with preserved egg and lean pork when this mood-ruining thing came up.

Zhou Wentong anxiously reminded him, "Your Majesty, Zheng Quan possesses immense strength; we mustn't let Lady Shen take such a risk!"

"Madam Shen is a master of martial arts, she just didn't attack you. She dealt with that bald guy in no time, there's no need to worry." The emperor took another sip of porridge, not worried at all, but rather leisurely.

Zhou Wentong became even more anxious. Yesterday, he noticed that Madam Shen possessed lightness skills, but Zheng Quan was truly born with superhuman strength and wielded a long spear with unparalleled skill. Very few people could escape from Zheng Quan's grasp.

"Madam Shen, don't take the risk, I'll go instead," Zhou Wentong hurriedly said.

Although he was no match for Zheng Quan, he decided to bite the bullet and give it a try so as not to put Shen Qing at risk.

Shen Qing glanced at the bald man opposite him and calmly said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

At least let the bald man have a bowl of porridge first. Besides, the bald man brought a group of men out of the city this time. If each of them has a bowl, wouldn't she be able to win over many more soldiers?

Shen Qing stared at the opposite side, as if he could see his mission progress bar constantly moving forward.

"Hurry up, you old emperor, you coward, Zhou Wentong, you shameless bastard, come out here and let grandpa chop off your head!!" Zheng Quan's anger continued to rise, and his desire to fight grew stronger and stronger.

Shen Qing put down the large ladle used for scooping rice, used his lightness skill, and arrived in front of Zheng Quan in a few moments.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Quan burst into laughter: "What's a cook doing out here?!"

"Is there no one left in Da'an?"

Zheng Quan smiled, and the group of soldiers behind him laughed as well.

"Hahaha, Da'an is definitely out of people."

"To actually send a cook to fight General Zheng is simply courting death."

"That's hilarious!!"

"..."

Just then, he suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind rushing towards him.

Before I could even understand what was happening, a sharp pain shot through my cheek.

It's very hot.

Zheng Quan's eyes widened, and when he looked again, Shen Qing was still standing there, calm and composed, as if she hadn't been the one who had hit him.

"General Zheng, your face..."

"Why is your face so swollen...?"

Zheng Quan realized this too late.

He was hit; he was actually hit by a woman.

What a disgrace! If he doesn't take revenge today, how will he establish his authority in the army in the future?

"I'm so angry, so angry—"

"I don't hit women, but you, cook, have really gone too far. Today I'm going to..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Snapped--

The other face was swollen too.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"You cook, you're asking for it! You forced me to do this, I'm going to beat a woman today..." Zheng Quan dismounted and immediately charged towards Shen Qing.

Shen Qing quickened her pace.

With a few cracking sounds, Zheng Quan, that big, strong man, fell to the ground.

The whole thing seemed to happen in an instant, giving everyone no chance to react.

Zhou Wentong's eyes widened, and his mouth gaped open, big enough to fit an egg.

Wait, when did Madam Shen become so amazing?

He remembered that when they were in Ping'an County, Madam Shen was just a cook. When did she learn such amazing skills?

That level of skill must have taken at least ten or twenty years to master, right?

I really want to learn...

Zheng Quan, his face dark and teeth clenched, lay on the ground and said defiantly, "You, you, you wouldn't happen to be that legendary demoness, would you?"

"Sorcery, it must be sorcery!"

"If you're so capable, then have a fair and square match with me!"

Shen Qing chuckled softly: "Of course it's not sorcery, it's just that you're too weak."

Zheng Quan was strong and brave, but compared to her unparalleled martial arts skills, he was nothing.

"General Zheng has been defeated! Defeated!"

"Run! Run away quickly!"

"General Zheng has been defeated, let's run!"

The soldiers behind Zheng Quan only realized what was happening at that moment, and they all abandoned their armor and fled for their lives towards the city gate of Pingkou.

"Stop!" Shen Qing said coldly, and the next moment, she appeared directly in front of the group of soldiers.

"Whoever runs will die!"

Her voice was extremely calm, as if she was certain that these soldiers would not dare to flee.

Just kidding, these soldiers are part of her mission progress, it wouldn't be fun if they ran away.
