Hearing this, the doting father king frantically signaled to a group of ministers, but they all ignored him.
A few of them looked at the sky, then at the ground, anywhere but at the old king.
The old king: "......"
...
Finally, for some reason, those ministers started arguing amongst themselves on the spot, each proposing who should lead the troops to repel the enemy.
The chattering voices gave Ming Li a headache. With a "bang," she placed the wine jar in her hand on the table in front of her and said expressionlessly, "Stop arguing! I'll go."
Several ministers: "......"
Hearing the woman's words, the ministers were silent for a moment. They recalled that Ming Li had indeed led troops before and had won battles. The ministers exchanged glances and then nodded in unison, "Then it's entrusted to the eldest princess..."
The old king: "......Wait, what about me??"
As soon as the old king spoke, he saw the ministers in front of him instantly turn their heads, their eyes fixed on him. The strange gaze made the old king's scalp tingle and goosebumps rise. "Why are you all staring at me like this?"
The ministers ignored the old king and turned to look at Ming Li beside them. "Eldest Princess, please rest assured, we will definitely keep a close eye on His Majesty the King!"
The old king: "......"
Ming Li: "......"
The next day, Ming Li left with several thousand soldiers.
Seeing this, a group of ministers breathed a sigh of relief. With the eldest princess taking action, there was a high probability that nothing would go wrong.
Thinking this, the ministers who saw her off returned. As soon as they got back, they froze. Wait! Where was their King?
The ministers searched the entire royal palace but couldn't find the old king's whereabouts. Not only the old king's, but also Da Hei's.
Instantly, the ministers thought of something, and their mouths twitched in unison. They hoped the eldest princess could protect His Majesty the King... Sigh...
Soon, Ming Li arrived at the border between the two warring nations with her men.
Seeing that it was Ming Li who had arrived, a group of soldiers frowned. One of the leaders stepped forward, saluted, and asked solemnly, "Your Highness Princess, it is very dangerous here. What are you doing here? You might get hurt, you should go back quickly."
Ming Li waved her hand and truthfully said, "Those generals all have their own affairs to attend to, and there is no suitable person in the court, so they asked me to come."
"Your Highness Princess, the battlefield is dangerous, this is not a child's play, you are precious and noble..."
Before the leader could finish speaking, Ming Li suddenly sensed something, and her mouth twitched as she interrupted, "I forgot to tell you, not only did I come, but your King also came."
A group of soldiers: "......?"
Just as the soldiers were looking bewildered, they suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past them. In the blink of an eye, a black figure stopped in front of them.
As everyone looked, they saw a large black dog with ten heads appearing before them, and sitting steadily on the back of the black dog was an old man holding a scepter.
Upon closer inspection, who else could this old man be but their King!
A group of soldiers: "......"
Meeting everyone's gaze, the old king subconsciously nodded, waved the scepter in his hand, and said very approachable, "Hello everyone."
A group of soldiers: "......"
Ming Li: "......"
