The Great Princess of the Warlord
chapter 21

Gong Sheng's Ri Yue troops decided to help the border villagers to recover the village after it was once ravaged by pirates. Although Gong Sheng had missed his wife a lot, but the people of this border village also needed him a lot.

Ri Yue's troops began to help build several houses that were once inhabited but were later destroyed and abandoned by their owners for fear of robbers. Gong Sheng also donated some food as well as money to the villagers at this border.

" Liancheng, you take care of the regent who does not deserve to be called the regent" said Gong Sheng..

" Good sir, but how do you know about the matter of the Regent who has done so unjustly? " tanya Liancheng who was immediately stared at sharply by Gong Sheng.

" Why are you quiet? " Gong Sheng instead asked in an ominous-sounding tone.

" The letter I sent to the palace will definitely reach his hands. I have sent many petitions and sirahs to the palace on this matter, sir. " replied Liancheng bowed.

" You should have sent that to my army. " Gong Sheng let out a long sigh.

Liancheng was silent for a moment, he cursed himself who could not even think about Ri Yue's army. That troop is a troop that can help the residents of this border village. Whatever it is, regret is too late.

Gong Sheng walked around the village closest to the border. He saw his troops and border troops working together to help residents make houses, some were planting rice, some were making ponds that could be used to raise fish.

Five years ago in this village a war broke out between Xili and Goryeo. When the army led by the 5th Prince won, a truce ensued. Thanks to the cleverness of the 5th prince at that time, Xili and Goryeo were finally able to work together for the first time.

There was a mutual relationship between the two dynasties. The trade between Xili and Goryeo was the beginning of a good relationship. Xili which has better crops and gardens in quality and more than the crops and gardens of Goryeo, barter with Goryeo who has the best money mining results from other Dynasties.

" Honor the Great Commander." a member of Ri Yue's army saluted Gong Sheng.

" Hem." Gong Sheng's right hand was raised to greet the members of his army.

" Is there a constraint? " ask Gong Sheng.

" We're short of material, commander. But the village chief said that he had ordered the material "the man replied as he reported.

" If there's anything you can't finish, you can tell me or your chairman. Understand right? " said Gong Sheng.

" Good commander." said the man.

" Your Majesty, this place is very shabby and dirty. Your beautiful clothes can get dirty because of this place. You better look from there, your majesty, " said an old man who came straight to Gong Sheng when he found out he was approaching.

" When I fight, I'm also dirty sir. There is no harm if my clothes are dirty, still washable" said Gong Sheng inferiorly.

" Then what noble wants to see our work from a place even closer." the old man offered.

" If it doesn't bother you, of course I want you. " Gong Sheng also joined in to get closer to the pond that was still being dug by the villagers along with the troops.

Gong Sheng suddenly felt excited to try what his troops were doing along with the villagers. Gong Sheng approached, then grabbed the hoe that happened to be left behind by its owner to rest.

" My lord, what are you doing? This was dirty work. "a man who was a member of Gong Sheng's army approached his commander and reprimanded Gong Sheng.

" What kind of work is not dirty? A commander like me also has a dirty job, especially if it is already on the battlefield. "said Gong Sheng who remains determined to do the job.

Sunlight that has begun to blister, really does not dampen the spirit of the population and also the soldiers. Gong Sheng was still spirit digging the ground even though the sweat soaked his entire body. Several times it appeared that sweat had fallen to the ground, because Gong Sheng was really hot.

A mother came and called everyone to enjoy lunch together. All the people who were busy with their own work, seemed to start putting their combat tools and walking closer to a place under a large shady tree. There are some food there.

" Your Majesty, forgive us for providing only potluck food. Truly we feel disrespectful to you, "the mothers bowed their heads not daring to look at Gong Sheng who was in front of her.

" Mistress, all that food if cooked sincerely will outdo even the most delicious cuisine. After all, I am not a picky person when it comes to food" Gong Sheng said, not wanting the villagers to be too distraught about him.

" Lord come here, this cuisine is really delicious with a different taste to the cuisine in the capital." cried Mingye. One of the team leaders of the Ri Yue troops led by Gong Sheng was famous for being very sensitive around. He knew that these villagers felt bad for preparing a meal that was far from proper for a prince like the 5th prince.

Gong Sheng walked over to Mingye, sitting next to his fighting partner. Gong Sheng picked up the cutlery and the bowl, Mingye picked up a side dish and vegetables for Gong Sheng. After tasting the dishes, Gong Sheng's smile flashed. This was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten.

" Thank you madam, this is so delicious. The most delicious food I have ever enjoyed "praise Gong Sheng.

Hearing Gong Sheng's words, the mothers who cooked all these lunch dishes clapped their hands. There was a pride of its own when it was praised by the 5th prince of Xili. These mothers are getting more and more excited to cook delicious dishes later tonight.

Gong Sheng greedily ate this lunch dish with the entire army as well as the villagers. There is no disgust or high-mindedness when gathering with people who are clearly under it very far.
