A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

In the imperial study, Emperor Kang Ren looked at Murong Xuanyi and asked, "Are there any new developments in the southwest recently?"

Murong Xuanyi's face was calm and he answered respectfully, "Reporting to the emperor, there is no definite news yet. Li Yongjun is extremely cunning and scheming. He is really not easy to deal with."

"Father," Murong Xuanyi continued, "Once Li Yongjun is eliminated, I'm afraid the Southwest Army will be out of control. Right now, we don't know exactly how many people in the entire Southwest Army have already joined Li Yongjun."

Emperor Kang Ren frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "This is indeed a problem. If the southwest area cannot be properly handled, I am afraid it will cause greater unrest."

Murong Xuanyi thought for a moment, and then said, "I have sent people to secretly find out the distribution of Li Yongjun's forces in the Southwest Army. At the same time, I suggest that the Southwest find a strong general to take over to reassure the army."

Emperor Kang Ren nodded and agreed, "That's great. But it's hard to find the right person in such a short time."

"Have you considered the candidate?"

Murong Xuanyi hesitated for a moment, as if pondering over the answer in his mind. "I don't have a definite candidate in mind yet, but I think the situation in the southwest is complicated. The generals we choose must not only be brave and good at fighting, but also have prestige and wisdom to keep the situation under control."

Emperor Kang Ren thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "You are right. I have thought about it and feel that Yanshu is quite suitable. What do you think?"

Murong Xuanyi raised the corner of his mouth and a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered, "Yanshu is indeed a rare military talent. If he goes, things in the southwest may turn around. But, he may not be willing to go. After all, the Northwest Army is the place he has been thinking about. After all, that is where his father's life's work is. It is also the place where Yanshu himself grew up." As he spoke, he secretly observed Emperor Kang Ren's expression.

Emperor Kang Ren sighed softly, and seemed to be touched by Murong Xuanyi's words. "Xuanyi, I know Yanshu's feelings towards the Northwest Army. But the southwest is also my great land, and I cannot afford to lose it. How about this, I promise him that as long as he solves the crisis in the southwest, I will allow him to return to the Northwest Army."

After a short pause, Emperor Kang Ren continued, "But then again, Yanshu's mother is old, and as a son, he should be filial. Therefore, he must get married and start a family as soon as possible, and marry a wife to take care of his mother. In this way, he can serve the country without any worries."

After hearing this, Murong Xuanyi was secretly surprised. He had expected that his father would not give in easily, and it turned out that he was waiting here. Princess Dunchun was his sister, so his father would not embarrass her, but it was hard to say about others. In other words, as long as Yanshu had the slightest intention of rebellion in the northwest, his wife and even his wife's family might become hostages. Murong Xuanyi was naturally well aware of the interests involved.

This move was really clever, as it gave Yanshu a chance to serve the country while also keeping him in check. He looked up at Emperor Kang Ren, and saw that his eyes were firm, as if he had already known everything.

"Your Majesty is wise. I will discuss this matter with Yanshu right away. I believe that for the sake of the Northwest Army and his father's legacy, he will agree to go to the southwest." Murong Xuanyi said respectfully.

Emperor Kang Ren hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Well, go ahead, let him come to see me, I want to talk to him about this matter in person. I want to see what tricks Li Yongjun can come up with."

Murong Xuanyi took the order and left, but he was thinking about how to tell Yanshu the news. He knew that Yanshu had a strong temper, and once he knew that he was being used as a constraint, he would probably be dissatisfied. But he also understood that Yanshu was a man who understood the greater good, and for the sake of the overall situation, he should compromise.

Walking out of the hall, Murong Xuanyi stood facing the wind, his eyes deep. He recalled the friendship with Yanshu in the past, and a pang of sadness rose in his heart.

When Murong Xuanyi arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he happened to see Princess Dunchun nagging at Song Yanshu, "Look at you, you are almost thirty years old, but you train soldiers all day long, and you don't care about starting a family. Do you really want the Song family's bloodline to end... Instead of worrying about it, I might as well go with your father, so that I can just ignore it."

Song Yanshu was dressed in military uniform, looking very heroic, but he was also somewhat helpless after hearing his mother's words. "Mother, please don't worry about it anymore. I'm busy serving the court. Besides, a good man has ambitions to travel far and wide. To start a family, you have to meet the right person. How can you settle down in such a hurry?"

Princess Dunchun snorted when she heard this, "I think you are just delaying on purpose. You don't want to get married and you want to make the Song family extinct."

Murong Xuanyi listened to the mother and son's quarrel and laughed in his heart. He coughed lightly and interrupted their conversation, "Yanshu, I have something urgent to discuss with you."

When Song Yanshu saw that it was Murong Xuanyi, he asked sternly, "Xuanyi, what's so urgent?"

Murong Xuanyi looked at Princess Dunchun and hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It's about the southwest. Father intends to let you go to the southwest, and promised that as long as you resolve the crisis in the southwest, he will allow you to return to the Northwest Army."

Upon hearing this, Song Yanshu immediately asked happily, "Really?"

Murong Xuanyi nodded, "It's absolutely true, but..."

"But what?" Seeing Murong Xuanyi hesitate to speak, Song Yanshu couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.

Murong Xuanyi sighed and continued, "But father also has a condition. He hopes that you can get married and start a family as soon as possible, and marry a wife to take care of your aunt. In this way, you can serve the country without any worries."

Song Yanshu's expression suddenly became complicated. He knew that this was the emperor's restraint on him, but he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He didn't want to get married and wouldn't get married. His heart had already been firmly occupied by Xiaoying, so how could he accommodate other women?

Song Yanshu was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Murong Xuanyi firmly, "Xuanyi, I agree to go to the southwest. But I hope to be able to decide on my own regarding marriage."

"Yanshu, I'm not the only one urging you now. The emperor is also urging you. This is an imperial order and it's difficult to disobey." Princess Dunchun was standing aside, her face full of joy.

"Mother, let me decide my marriage myself." Song Yanshu insisted.

Princess Dunchun wanted to say something, but Murong Xuanyi quickly said, "Yanshu, your father wants you to go to the palace to meet the emperor immediately." After saying that, he gave him a look.

Song Yanshu understood and said, "Mother, I have to change my clothes and go to the palace." After that, he went back to the room. A moment later, the two of them left the Duke's Mansion together.

Princess Dunchun looked at the two people's backs as they left, but she didn't care. She already had a plan in mind. She quickly asked the nanny in charge of the mansion for a list of the noble ladies in the capital. She was determined to choose a good marriage for her Shuer.
