The dog-tail grass ring on his finger, Su Jinpa thought it was ugly no matter how he looked at it.

Especially after Li Chen said it had this special meaning in the barbarian lands, Su Jinpa even more wanted to take it off.

Just looking at Li Chen's smile, his eyes were threateningly naked. Su Jinpa mumbled something but didn't have the courage to take off the ring in front of Li Chen.

"What brings you here today" Su Jinpa asked.

"Nice to see you."

Li Chen saw that Su Jinpa had given up on taking off the ring, and he walked forward contentedly with his hands behind his back.

"I was going to your house, but the servants at General's Mansion said you had gone to the Royal Hunting Ground early this morning, so I followed you here."

Su Jinpa tilted her head slightly and asked, "Aren't you always very busy In two days it's the day of the oath-taking departure, my father and brother are so busy that I can't even see them."

“Your brother is the commander of this battle. He has to personally handle all matters of troop deployment and arrangements, especially since it's his first time. Of course, he's going to be busy. As for your father, he certainly doesn't want the Su family's reputation ruined by your brother. Moreover, war isn't a child's play. If this battle is lost, countless people will suffer heavy consequences. Naturally, he has to make sure everything goes perfectly. It’s understandable that he can't be seen by others.”

Su Jinpa turned to Li Chen and said, "I heard that the Southern Bai Lian Jiao has recently started to revive. This sect, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and never dies, is already very mature and perfect. In the early stage, it would definitely not make a big fuss. When the news reached the capital, it means its scale is huge."

"The Southern regions are prosperous and have always been the granary of the nation. In recent years, the imperial court has been strained by natural disasters and has barely managed to survive on taxes from the south. If something were to go wrong in the south again, there would be real trouble."

There are several powerful vassal kings who guard the border. Each of them commands a large army and over the years has governed their fiefdoms like ironclad fortresses. Now that the world is in turmoil, if the imperial court's authority weakens and the national power declines, the strength of these local vassal kings will inevitably surge. As the disparity in power grows, so too will their ambition.

Su Jinpa's eyes seemed to sparkle. She looked at Li Chen and said solemnly, "Given the current national situation, it can be said that every move is crucial."

"Therefore, this battle cannot be lost."

Li Chen said slowly, "Whether it's the White Lotus Sect or the vassal kings, they are now like wolves with bared fangs. But the imperial court is a tiger reigning supreme. Even if a tiger is old, its majesty remains. No one knows whether this tiger has completely weakened and is heading towards death or will return to its youth. They can only test it again and again, observing continuously. If they find that the tiger is no longer capable, they will immediately pounce."

"But if they saw that this tiger still had the power to easily kill them, they wouldn't dare act recklessly."

Li Chen looked at Su Jinpa and said, "Why should I insist on sending troops to Xian Chao It's not that I am warlike, but rather than waiting for them to probe me with a time and method I have no psychological preparation for, it is better to take the initiative to show my strength, so that they temporarily restrain their inappropriate thoughts. At least let them understand that I..."

Li Chen nodded his nose at Su Jinpa and said seriously: "Be brave to fight, be willing to go all out."

“What about the White Lotus Sect It’s just a cult. For hundreds of years, they haven't accomplished anything. They are destined to be nothing but self-righteous vermin. What about the feudal lords Even if a single feudal lord is powerful, he can't possibly completely oppose the imperial court. But between feudal lords, it's difficult to unite. Who would dare to take the lead and face the wrath of the imperial court Who among them would step forward”y managed to secure the position of magistrate for Weihai.
