Chapter 684: Heartfelt words
The porridge was so thin that you could almost see your reflection in it, making it really hard to swallow.
However, the rumbling of her stomach forced her to drink it.
"Nier, when can we finally have a full meal?" The princess sighed helplessly as she drank her porridge. "Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, people need to eat their fill to have the energy to work."
Ni'er was also starving, but she still comforted the princess, saying, "Don't worry, Princess. I will find a way."
Ni'er was so hungry that she licked the bottom of the bowl clean. It had been a long time since she had been so hungry.
"Let's go, let's go back and discuss it."
When the two returned to the tent, the princess was so hungry that she could not even stand, so she had to lie down on the bed.
"It would be great if we could catch the cook who cooks for the enemy and let him drug them." Seeing the princess like this, Ni'er couldn't help but feel distressed. Suddenly, she had an idea and said.
The princess thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea, but it's not easy to catch the cook. And we have to make him willingly give the drug to the enemy. We need to have a lot of evidence against him."
Nier slowly raised her fingers and tapped the edge of the bed rhythmically, as if she was thinking about something important.
"The key now is that we must not only successfully capture the person, but also prevent the enemy from noticing."
"However, if I can really catch him, I have a hundred ways to make him obey."
The princess' eyes lit up when she heard this, and she suggested, "How about we go to that cliff again? Maybe we can observe when the enemy cooks come out to work."
Ni'er thought this was a good idea. Since she had nothing else to do, she stood up from the bed without saying anything and said readily, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them struggled forward and finally arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Nier picked up the telescope and carefully observed the enemy's every move.
At this time, the enemy was preparing to cook lunch. The cooks were busy shuttling around the camp. Some were carrying baskets of vegetables, and some were carrying bags of rice. They were walking towards the river to wash the vegetables and rice.
Suddenly, Nier's attention was attracted by a special cook.
The cook walked with a limp and had a large birthmark on his face, which made him look a little different.
"That's him." Ni'er was secretly happy. She felt that this cook looked easier to deal with.
Seeing this, the princess looked at Nier in surprise and asked, "Have you come up with a solution?"
Nier nodded in agreement.
"Let's go back and discuss this matter with the general."
Nier stood up, patted her clothes, and returned to the camp.
The two men walked all the way to the outside of the general's tent, waiting for General Li to finish discussing things with the other generals.
Time passed minute by minute, and the two occasionally talked in low voices.
Finally, the discussion between General Li and other generals ended.
General Li walked into the tent, saw them at a glance, and hurried over.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." General Li said apologetically.
Seeing this, the princess hurried forward and said with a smile, "It's okay, we didn't wait long."
As she spoke, she gently pulled General Li, motioning him to take his seat.
General Li was obediently pushed by the princess and walked to the seat and sat down.
He looked at the princess and Nier and asked, "Do you have anything to discuss with me?"
"Indeed, this matter is of vital importance and requires careful consideration." The princess's eyes fell on Nier, wanting her to continue.
Nier took a deep breath, gathered herself, and then described her plan in detail: "The princess and I went to the cliff we were at last time, and we happened to find the enemy soldiers washing vegetables by the river."
"It was around noon, and there happened to be a dense forest not far from the river."
"I was wondering if I could cleverly use the terrain of this forest to set a trap and lure the enemy's cooks in."
"Once they're in the woods, I have a trick up my sleeve to poison their food without them realizing it."
However, after hearing Ni'er's plan, Prince Li shook his head without hesitation and flatly rejected it, saying, "Absolutely not! This move is too risky. That forest is enemy territory, and they will surely have set numerous traps, such as animal traps."
"What's more, you are all young girls. It is too dangerous to take such risks. You absolutely cannot go!"
Ni'er and the princess tried their best to persuade Prince Li, but no matter how earnest their words were, Prince Li remained unmoved and firmly disagreed with their request.
Helpless, the two had to return to their tent in disappointment.
As soon as she entered the tent, the princess plopped down on the bed like a deflated ball, pouting and mumbling, "Really? Why is this guy so stubborn? No matter how hard we try to persuade him, it won't work."
Ni'er could only comfort the princess softly, "Prince Li did this for our safety."
The princess touched her rumbling stomach and said pitifully, "But I'm so hungry and want a good meal."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Ni'er and excitedly suggested, "How about we sneak out without telling the general?"
When Ni'er heard this, she turned pale with fright and cold sweat broke out on her forehead like a flood.
She secretly groaned in her heart. Bringing the princess here was already a risk of losing her head. Now if she brought her near the enemy, her own life might really be in danger!
"This... this is absolutely not possible, Princess!" Ni'er's voice trembled.
Seeing Ni'er being so timid, the princess was immediately displeased. She curled her lips, revealing a look of dissatisfaction, and scolded, "What did you call me?"
Seeing this, Ni'er knew that her previous address had upset the princess, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Wanwan, this really can't be done. It's too dangerous."
The princess jumped down from her own bed and came to Nier's bed.
Reach out and hold Nier's arm.
"How could there be any danger with you here? You're so powerful and have so many magical powders. No matter what situation you encounter, you will definitely be able to get out of it easily."
A helpless smile appeared on Nier's lips.
"It's easier for me to get out alone, but if I have to bring others with me, it won't be that easy."
The princess was not frightened by Nier's words. She raised three fingers and said solemnly, "I swear, I will be very obedient and will never cause you any trouble. I promise!"
