In Guo Xin's opinion, this is a multiple-choice question, but in Ning Chen's opinion, this is not a multiple-choice question at all.

This is a required question.

"Of course I have to say this, everything must be reported truthfully."

Guo Xin hesitated for a moment and said, "But if I write it truthfully, I'm afraid there will be some critical voices in the DPRK."

After hearing Guo Xin's words, Ning Chen's face turned serious and he said in a critical tone: "Master Guo, it's very inappropriate for you to have such thoughts.

We cannot hide part of the facts just because we are afraid of being criticized or making suggestions.

Mr. Guo, I naturally know what you are worried about.

But has Mr. Guo ever thought about it because we concealed some of the facts?

As a result, the court misjudged this battle, and the support that was supposed to come did not come.

The food and fodder that should have started immediately did not start immediately.

In this way, it may be ourselves who are eventually attacked.

Mr. Guo, what do you think?"

After hearing what Ning Chen said, Guo Xin immediately bowed his head and said: "I have learned a lesson from you. I will write a successful report now. I will definitely report the matter to the court exactly as it is."

Ning Chen nodded and said: "Go ahead. After writing the victory report, deliver it with a blue bird. Don't waste the opportunity."

"Yes, I'll do my humble job now."

It is true that the opportunity cannot be wasted. After all, Ning Chen does not have much time left before this settlement.

If this is done step by step and the message is delivered quickly.

When the news reached Fengjing, everything was settled on my side.

Without those civil servants in Fengjing providing him with [needy] points, how could Ning Chen make a lot of money?

While Guo Xin sent another good news to Fengjing, Princess Lizhu was also writing a letter home.

Princess Lizhu didn't even take care of Lupo's matter.

Because this is an internal matter of Baijia City, Princess Lizhu cannot cross the line and report it to her family.

But Princess Lizhu still wants to say something about Yu Bai and Ning Chen's willingness to go to war with Yu Bai in order to protect himself.

Soon Princess Lizhu wrote a letter home, and then Princess Lizhu made a trick, and a blue bird appeared in Princess Lizhu's hand.

He gave the bluebird the letter from home and then the bluebird flew away with fluttering wings.

At the same time, Guo Xin's blue bird also flew out of Baijia City.

It's just that the directions of the two bluebirds are different.

After Guo Xin left, Ning Chen was not idle either.

Ning Chen sent a message and invited Yun Xuanzi to come to Baijia Academy.

I asked Yun Xuanzi to come over, mainly because I wanted to discuss some matters concerning the city's defense in the future.

All the defense formations in Baijia City were arranged by Yun Xuanzi.

After this battle, Yun Xuanzi naturally knew what was lacking.

By the way, Ning Chen also mentioned two small loopholes that he discovered and saw if Yun Xuanzi could improve them.

After Ning Chen and Yun Xuanzi discussed some improvement plans, Fang Xiong also came back with supplies.

Looking at the supply convoy that stretched for more than ten miles, Ning Chen finally felt relaxed.

In addition to discussing the improvement of city defense with Yun Xuanzi just now, Ning Chen also asked about the consumption situation of city defense.

The consumption is really shocking.

After today's battle, Ning Chen's nearly 200,000 taels of silver supplies were directly burned in the city defense formation.

If you add in the expenditure on artillery shells, plus the pay and pensions for the officers and soldiers, Ning Chen would have lost more than 600,000 taels in this battle.

This is just one battle, if the scale of every subsequent battle is this huge.

Even though Ning Chen was as rich as anyone in his country, he couldn't resist such consumption.

However, seeing this fully loaded convoy of supplies stretching for more than ten miles, Ning Chen knew that he would make a profit from this battle.

All the supplies from these three demon kingdoms, plus the supplies from the Tiger Clan and Yu Yuan, were shipped here in advance and stored up.

It can definitely make up for all of Ning Chen's consumption, and it's also guaranteed to make Ning Chen a huge profit.

"As expected, war is the fastest way to get rich." Ning Chen murmured.

After the items were seized and shipped back, Guo Xin immediately arranged for people to count, classify, and uniformly load them into the warehouse.

After three days of busy work, Guo Xin finally took a clear inventory of these supplies.

Guo Xin came to Ning Chen with a list of supplies and asked Ning Chen to look at the supplies in person.

After Ning Chen scanned it quickly, he took one last look at the total calculated by Guo Xin.

The total number of these supplies is the amount after Guo Xin converted all the supplies into silver according to the market price.

The total is two million three hundred and twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and sixty-one taels.

This gain is almost four times what Ning Chen spent.

Such a multiple of harvest still makes Ning Chen very satisfied.

He handed the list to Guo Xin and immediately said to Guo Xin: "Show it to Taoist Priest Yun Xuanzi and see if there is anything in it that can be used by the city defense formation.

You take Taoist Master Yun Xuanzi directly to the warehouse and bring it up.

Make good records of incoming and outgoing supplies. Now every supply must be used wisely."

"Yes, I know this from my humble position."

Ning Chen can still trust Guo Xin when doing things.

What's more, with the strength and ability he has shown, Guo Xin doesn't have the guts to make any fuss about this issue.

While Ning Chen was taking inventory of his trophies, Guo Xin sent a message to the imperial court's Qingniao, which had already successfully arrived in Fengjing and into Wu Zhao's hands.

Wu Zhao looked at the good news sent to him by Guo Xin. For such a record, Wu Zhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Especially the Italian cannon mentioned by Guo Xin in the victory report, Wu Zhao was really tempted by this new weapon.

If these Italian cannons could be equipped with some for all the cities in the four northern states.

The defense and attack levels of the four northern states will be greatly improved.

"Banban will print this good news into a palace newspaper and send it to all states and counties immediately." Wu Zhao handed the good news to Sun Banban and said.

Sun Banban received the good news and immediately responded: "Yes."

"Banban, do you think everyone will react to this good news if I announce it to the court tomorrow?" Wu Zhao suddenly asked Sun Banban.

With the previous lessons learned, Sun Banban did not dare not answer: "This is a good news, and it is a real victory.

When such a great victory is announced, it is natural that the whole court should celebrate it.

And this time, the champion really showed the majesty of our Wu Dynasty.

At the same time, it also makes some people with evil intentions become more honest.

After all, everyone knows that Uncle Champion is your Majesty’s confidant.”

Wu Zhaoxing's eyes flickered: "It's precisely because they all know that Ning Chen is my confidant.

Therefore, the attack on Ning Chen tomorrow morning will only be more intense."

Sun Banban said in confusion: "Your Majesty, this is obviously a great victory.

It has been a long time since our Wu Dynasty had such a great victory.

Since Emperor Wu, this battle with Uncle Champion was the greatest victory our Wu Dynasty had against the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.

Even if they have opinions about His Majesty and Uncle Champion.

We can’t ignore the fact of this great victory, right?”

Wu Zhao said: "It is precisely because this is a great victory that more people will feel uncomfortable."

"Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't understand." Sun Banban said in confusion.

Wu Zhao did not explain to Sun Banban, but said: "You will know tomorrow."

Just as Wu Zhao finished speaking, another blue bird flew in.

Sun Banban glanced at the blue bird and said to Wu Zhao: "Your Majesty, this should be the mark of Prince Teng."

Wu Zhao nodded and said: "It should be the seal of Prince Teng."

"Your Majesty, I will check it first and then take it to Your Majesty," Sun Banban said.

Wu Zhao nodded.

After Sun Banban checked it, he determined that there was no problem.
