"He's a princess. He's here to marry her, not to be her chef." Although Hua Ruge said this, there was no awkwardness left in his heart.

"I got her to cook for you, she's been lifted." Tuoba Rui said unconcerned.

Hua Ruge suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for the young lady.

"Tuoba Rui, do you want me to cook for you?" she asked.

Tuoba Rui held her hand and said without even thinking, "I can't bear for you to cook."

If he was willing, he wouldn't have to learn to do it himself.

Hua Ruge looked at his serious face and laughed, "You will spoil me."

"I do."

Tuoba Rui said as he used one hand to support the back of her head and leaned forward to kiss her.

Hua Ruge hooked her arms around his neck, closed her eyes, and started entangling him.

From that day onwards, Hua Ruge became busy, because her territory's Rebellion had been defeated and they had started to retreat. She had to busy with the general's land recovery so that this land and people that had experienced war before could once again be revived.

When the Rebellion failed, and the citizens heard that the Battle King was brutal, they trembled in fear, afraid that they would lose their lives.

Hua Ruge led his troops and stepped onto this land. The first thing he did was to search for corrupt officials and the various city lords.

This made the hearts of the people panic even more. They felt that Hua Ruge was an even more ruthless person.

The second thing Hua Ruge did was to use the money that he got from the family raider to give pension to the soldiers who died in battle.

Slap a sweet jujube, this was a hint to the common people, only by following her can they live a good life.

After killing everyone, she personally selected officials to serve in each of the large cities. They were strict, disciplined, and severely punished those who didn't abide by the law, so that these people wouldn't act rashly.

In just ten days, the people of the forty-three cities had already become obedient. Of course, it would still take some time for them to return to their families.

The next step was to recruit more troops. She needed at least two hundred thousand people to consolidate the defenses at the border, so that they could defend the border with Cang Lan.

However, they had just gone through a war and had suffered countless casualties in their prime years. It would be difficult for them to recruit any more soldiers, so they could only take it slowly.

Fortunately, the Cang Lan did not intend to invade again.

Tuoba Rui presided over the cities in the west that were occupied by Hua Shengxiong, and set up new guards to prevent the Loi from invading again.

had long planned for this. With Arthur dead, the position of the strongest leader of the Loi was vacated. This discordant clan quickly fell into internal strife, and it was unlikely for them to invade again soon.

It was already beyond Tuoba Rui's authority to directly transfer officials, but most of the officials chose to obey, and the citizens supported it.

After all, the reason why these places could still maintain peace was because of Tuoba Rui's protection.

From then on, a third of Da Zheng's territory was in the control of Hua Ruge and Tuoba Rui.

The two of them were busy during the day and slept in the same room at night. However, they moved to the Battle King Manor from the military camp to Qingzhou City.

The negotiations with the Cang Lan had also been set aside. Mu Zixi stayed in the Duke Palaces every day, but he could not even meet Tuoba Rui face to face.

Hua Ruge was the only one who did not complete the conscription, she handed the mission over to Lei Tao, and came back early to discuss the methods of conscription with Tuoba Rui.

Just as she reached the door of the study, she saw Mu Zixi carrying a food box. Her maid was talking to the guard in front of Tuoba Rui's door.

When the Princess of Cang Lan saw her, she frowned and said, "Battle King is busy right now, I won't see you."

"No guests? What is the princess doing here? " Hua Ruge walked up and asked with a smile.

Mu Zixi raised the food case in his hand and said: "I am here to deliver the food to Battle King, and I will be the legal and proper wife of Battle King, so of course I have the qualifications to enter."

The meaning behind his words was to mock Hua Ruge for being unreasonable.

Hua Ruge was too lazy to argue with her, he knew that he shouldn't get too entangled with the Cang Lan, so he said: "Then, Princess, please."

"At least you're sensible." Mu Zixi said as he walked forward.

The guard did not receive the order and continued to block her entry.

Mu Zixi glowered at him and said: "How dare you."

Hua Ruge nodded to the guard, and other than Tuoba Rui's orders, the guard only listened to Hua Ruge, and only looked at Hua Ruge's signal to move out of the way.

Mu Zixi did not know about all this, he only thought that he had used his aura to scare the guard, and that he had raised his chin even higher when he walked in.

Hua Ruge did not want to delay the time and followed along.

Mu Zixi walked to the door and knocked, then turned to see Hua Ruge frowning: "What are you doing here?"

"There are some things I want to discuss with Battle King. After I'm done, I'll leave." Hua Ruge said without changing his expression.

"She really is a fox girl." Mu Zixi snorted.

Hearing a knock on the door, Tuoba Rui opened his mouth: "Come in."

Mu Zixi tidied up his appearance, and then pushed open the door and revealed a smiling face.

Seeing her, Tuoba Rui thought that the guards could go home, but his expression did not change, and said: "Why is the princess here?"

"I came to deliver some food for His Highness, and I also made a few snacks, so that His Highness can taste if you like." Mu Zixi walked forward and said.

It was not easy to know that Battle King liked her and knew how to cook, so she naturally wanted to perform.

"Sorry for the trouble, Princess. Put it down." Tuoba Rui's expression was indeed filled with appreciation.

Seeing that his expression had eased up, Mu Zixi was about to step forward, and cross a distance of three feet before him.

Tuoba Rui's gaze suddenly turned cold.

Mu Zixi was so frightened by him that she quivered, thinking that he would kill all the women within three feet of her, and would retreat before she could even land on the ground.

Tuoba Rui's expression eased a bit, but Mu Zixi had a face full of disappointment.

Why should that woman be able to do it?

Hua Ruge heard nothing and walked in.

"How did Xiao Ge find the time to come back today?" Seeing that, Tuoba Rui smiled.

"I want to talk to you about something. I saw the princess at the door, so I came with her." Hua Ruge sat on the lower seat and casually said.

Tuoba Rui now knew how Mu Zixi had entered.

"You're really warm-hearted." Tuoba Rui said as he walked forward.

Seeing Tuoba Rui approaching, Mu Zixi quickly took a few steps back to keep his distance.1

"Princess, please go back." Tuoba Rui said directly.

Mu Zixi paused and said: "The terms of the peace talks have yet to be determined, Your Highness has been busy these few days with official matters and the envoys did not disturb you. I wonder when Your Highness will be free, this country wishes to settle the agreement as soon as possible."

"This King will send messengers when I have time. Princess should rest well. If you want anything, just tell me." Tuoba Rui said indifferently.

Mu Zixi could only nod his head and say reluctantly: "Then I'll come back another day."
