The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 22

Currently Xie Hongyi had 200 points on his account. Xie Hongyi calculated that if the points were made into money, then he had about 50 dollars. If he wanted to exchange a few more items, Xie Hongyi would have to think twice. He had to refrain from being flabbergasted, otherwise his points would run out and could not be exchanged in times of emergency.

It's like you're working, and after you finish it, you'll be paid. After you get your wages at the beginning of the month, then you will spend that money with anything so that there is little left when the time is near the end of the month, making it as if you are miserable. In the situation that Xie Hongyi was in, it was clear that the system was the boss. The boss is a little shitty. After finishing with his thoughts, Xie Hongyi gazed towards the small table in the corner of the room. There sat a man who was writing something. His face looks serious.

After the two were silent for a while, Huang Long then broke the silence by asking Xie Hongyi. "The thing you used to write, why is it different from ink?

Xie Hongyi grimaced in heart. It turned out that curiosity was what made Huang Long paced in front of Xie Hongyi's tent and made the woman unable to sleep. Xie Hongyi did not know what to react to, he finally let Huang Long in. "Your Majesty, come in. I'll explain it inside."

Huang Long felt a little astonished after Xie Hongyi finished explaining. Turns out there are things that can be used to write without grinding ink like a brush? Huang Long tried that. Like a child who had been given a new toy, Huang Long was engrossed in the thing in his hand.

Huang Long pretended not to know Xie Hongyi was staring at him. He passionately writes using a pen on paper. This thing turns out to be easier to use than a brush, and the writing is also quite good. If he were to use this thing to replace the brush taking care of the documents, the results would definitely be faster.

The first time he saw Xie Hongyi using a stationery, he felt strange. But when he saw that it did not need to be ground, he was curious. Because of that curiosity, he subconsciously stepped foot into Xie Hongyi's tent. Once he got there, Huang Long was confused by the words to be delivered and he instead paced in front of Xie Hongyi's tent.

Xie Hongyi who was sitting on the bed was still staring at Huang Long. For a long time he felt sleepy and could not bear to yawn. "Your Majesty, I'll sleep. Your Majesty must not bring that thing because I will use it again. If Your Majesty still wants to play it, please but Your Majesty must play it here." After he said that, Xie Hongyi laid himself on the bed and immediately fell asleep.

Huang Long replied with a mutter, then glanced towards Xie Hongyi. Xie Hongyi's face in his sleep looked tired, and he did not want to disturb him. The man also wrote something back.

The people inside the barracks were awakened with a fragrant aroma of appetizing inputs. Some people even drooled. They were curious and immediately found out the origin of the source of this fragrant aroma. In the kitchen tent, Xie Hongyi finally finished cooking. He looked at the food before him with satisfaction. Hearing the voices on the outside of his tent, Xie Hongyi turned his head and found several soldiers who were expressing themselves like starving puppies. "Eat. This is a gift to your healing. Take it easy, I did not poison this food." Xie Hongyi said as he shared his cooking.

The soldiers stared at each other. After making a decision with eyes on each other, they then grabbed the chopsticks and began to taste. The eyes of all the soldiers widened. They never eat such good food. The breakfast quickly ran out, and they asked again. Xie Hongyi could only comply by returning to share it.

At this moment, Huang Long came with General Jiang. They are also curious about the fragrant smell that smells, making their stomachs hungry. When Xie Hongyi saw the two of them, he allowed the two of them to taste as well.

Sensing that someone was staring at him, Xie Hongyi turned to look for him. Everyone was busy with their food. Xie Hongyi did not manage to find anything. He shrugged his shoulders and did not care anymore.

By noon, General Mo, who was in charge of overseeing the northern troops from the front lines, had returned. He then went towards Huang Long's tent to report on the situation at the frontline. "There is currently no movement of any of their troops" General Mo reported as he met Huang Long face-to-face.

Huang Long who was sitting on a chair replied. "Stay close to them, and be more careful to guard both inside the barracks or the headquarters outside. We don't know when they're gonna start attacking."

General Mo obeyed and said. "This servant understands Your Majesty."

General Jiang who had been standing there silently, suddenly made a sound. "Your Majesty, General Mo, it's time we discuss the strategy against the northern army. As His Majesty said, we do not know when they will start attacking. At least we should be prepared before that happens." he suggested.

Huang Long and General Mo agreed, then General Jiang took out a piece of dried animal skin that depicted a map. "The main army of the main kingdom is here" General Jiang said as he pointed to one of the symbols on the map. "And we have our troops here, just below their base. Part of the Northern Army's base is desert. If we attack first, then we will be at a loss because I heard that the desert is full of quicksand. Our troops will definitely be trapped and the Northern army will easily defeat us."

"So what General Jiang means, we have to fish for the northern army to move first so we can fight without getting stuck in the sand?" guess General Mo.

General Jiang corrected General Mo's guess. General Mo then said back. "True, we also have to make a move as soon as possible, because I heard that the Northern kingdom will increase the number of their troops in two days."

Then Huang Long remembered something. "But now the soldiers are in their recovery period. Should we keep attacking?"

The three are then in doubt. Suddenly the sound of the tent opened up and Xie Hongyi entered with a slightly dark face, as if a cloud covered his entire face.
