Shen Ruojing.”??”
Could it be that even Yan Zixuan thought she was overly cautious?
Shen Ruojing took a deep breath.
Luo Yan, who was next to her, couldn’t help but come over and ask, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”
Shen Ruojing sneered, “What can we do? Just let them be!”
Although the mushrooms might have mutated and carried some toxicity from the surrounding mushrooms, it should not be too severe. Besides, she had brought antidotes with her, so it wouldn’t be a problem even if they were poisoned.
Moreover, maybe the mushrooms were really fine?
With this in mind, Shen Ruojing decided to leave them alone.
The group squatted next to the pot of boiling mushrooms, staring at them. They couldn’t help but drool.
At this moment, the scout sent by Yan Zixuan to gather information on the other two teams returned.
As soon as he returned, he was immediately surrounded. “How is it? Are the other two teams indeed searching the South and the East? Did they find anything?”
The scout took two sips of water to catch his breath before saying, “No way, I saw Luo Jian from the Luo family heading south for a while before returning to our parachute landing site, where he told his soldiers to rest well. I suspect he plans to wait for our two teams to find the flag and then snatch it!”
“What?” Yan Zixuan snorted coldly, “That’s outrageous! Luo Jian looks gentle, but he’s full of cunning. What military education did he receive abroad? I think he just went to become more devious!”
After complaining for a while, Yan Zixuan couldn’t help but look at the scout. “Keep following them.”
The scout immediately nodded. “Yes.”
He then looked behind Yan Zixuan and sniffed. “What are you eating? It smells so good!”
Although they had eaten a full meal before setting off, they had been trekking through mountains and rivers for seven or eight hours. The scout had walked even more than they had, so he was starving.
Seeing the boiling mushrooms, his eyes lit up. “Can I have a bowl of mushroom soup before I go?”
As soon as he said that, Yan Zixuan slapped him on the head. “Get going! Eat your compressed biscuits! Even if the entire army has no food, the scouts won’t be short of it!”
The scout stuck out his tongue. Knowing that he couldn’t wait for the mushroom soup to be ready, he turned to leave.
But just as he turned around, his comrade stopped him. “Wait.”
The scout looked back and saw the man glance at Shen Ruojing. He then sneered and asked, “Is there any problem with the Luo family army’s equipment?”
The scout shook his head immediately. “No problem.”
The man looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “See? How could there be a problem with the supplies issued by the military? If there were any problems, Prince Jing Yi wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility!”
There were generals from all three armies here!
The soldier didn’t say anything about the last part.
Shen Ruojing asked another question, “Are their water bottles okay?”
The scout scratched his head and continued, “They’re all fine. I saw them sitting there drinking water.”
Could it be that there really was no problem since they could sit down and drink water?
For a moment, Shen Ruojing wondered if she was overthinking.
However, she felt that according to Jing Yi’s tactics, it was unlikely that he would do something unnecessary…
Shen Ruojing couldn’t figure it out and let the scout go.
As soon as the scout left, the soldier sarcastically said, “Actually, General Ji is right. Women like to rely on their intuition to make decisions. Look at it now, there’s nothing wrong! That’s why it’s better for men to be soldiers. They think less and live less stressed!”
Luo Yan couldn’t help but retort, “Even if Princess made a wrong judgment this time, she did it for your own good. It’s never wrong to be more cautious!”
The man laughed immediately. “Then maybe the Princess should think less. We’ve survived countless battles, while you female soldiers know very little. Just say less, like with this mushroom soup…”
The soldier walked over to the pot of mushrooms, scooped out a bowl, and took a sip directly. “It’s incredibly delicious! Female soldiers, are you sure you don’t want some?”
Luo Yan.”!”
She glared at him angrily and then returned to Shen Ruojing’s side.
Shen Ruojing patted her hand, indicating that she shouldn’t bother with these people.
Seeing that Luo Yan didn’t say anything anymore, the soldier simply drank the rest of the mushroom soup in big gulps. After finishing, he said, “Alright, brothers, did you see? I’m perfectly fine! There’s nothing wrong with these mushrooms. Princess, stop talking nonsense!”
He tested the soup with his own body, and the other soldiers who were originally worried also relaxed.
“Alright, alright, the mushroom soup is ready. Everyone, line up and come drink it.”
So, a group of soldiers lined up to get their soup.
Yan Zixuan also went over and started lining up.
The soldier who had drunk the soup couldn’t help but look arrogantly at the row of female soldiers and laugh. “You girls are just not as straightforward as men. Why should women be soldiers? You’re not even brave enough to drink mushroom soup, too timid! You should be doing things like knitting sweaters… Hey, why would you bring yarn to the island?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was serving soup suddenly froze, turning their heads incredulously to look at him..
