Xu Zining took two steps forward with his eyes wide open, his hands sweating with anxiety.

Seeing that Zhao Chang was only injured, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, this guy is not really crazy!

"If you dare to say another word, my sword will not just grate your throat, but pierce through it directly!!"

The man's voice was calm, yet it sent a chill through Zhao Chang's heart. It was like a demon crawling out of hell, staring intently at him, trying to drag him down into hell.

Seeing that Zhao Chang finally behaved himself, Shen Chuan retracted his sword.

"I won't kill you now because I want you to see with your own eyes how Baili Moqing was defeated by me. But today, I will remember your provocation and humiliation of me!"

Zhao Chang's face turned pale and he wanted to resist, but when he saw the black gold sword in his hand, his restlessness instantly cooled down.

"Send this prince-general who wants to seize power to the stables and keep him under close watch. Let him also taste the 'delicious food' that I once had!"

Zhao Chang raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily, "I am the Crown Prince's General! Shen Chuan, how dare you abuse me like this!!"

"Abuse?" Shen Chuan frowned, her eyes flashing with fierce light. She once again placed the sword on Zhao Chang's neck. "Didn't you treat me like this before? Why, now, I'm just giving you the same way in return, and you can't accept it?"

"take away!!"

At Shen Chuan's command, the two soldiers mercilessly escorted Zhao Chang out. No matter how he yelled, they ignored him.

Xu Zining finally breathed a sigh of relief. Standing at the door of the tent, he saw a servant following Zhao Chang in a panic, and a trace of worry flashed through his heart.

"If you treat Zhao Chang this way, Prince, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble."

Shen Chuan put away his sword, a trace of contempt between his brows, "This Shen Wen finally did one thing right. Now that I have the imperial edict to go to war, I can mobilize the troops again with justification."

"Once I take back Beisha City, I will return to the palace with my achievements. Let alone Shen Wen, I just want to sit on the throne of the crown prince, so what?" Shen Chuan flicked his black robe and sat back in his chair in a domineering manner.

Worry and uneasiness appeared between Xu Zining's brows. He always felt that this expedition was not a good time.

Besides, Baili Moqing is not someone easy to deal with.

"Are you so sure you can reclaim Beisha City?" Xu Zining paused, then spoke tentatively, "Actually, it's better not to have Beisha City. It's a ruined city after all. It's been gone for over a decade, and it's no longer what it used to be. Why bother with Beisha City?"

Shen Chuan turned to look at him, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across her eyes. "Is it that city I want? What I want is a victory! It's fame! I thought you understood me."

Xu Zining felt bitter. How could he not understand? "It's just that Baili Moqing is not easy to deal with! He might be able to see through your plan. I'm afraid..."

I'm just afraid that he will be frustrated.

"Even if you see through me, so what? It's not like I haven't made two preparations." Shen Chuan stood up and looked at him. "Could it be that in your heart, I am so inferior to Baili Moqing?"

Xu Zining didn't say anything.

The main reason was that Baili Moqing cast too great a shadow on him, and he had a natural fear of Baili Moqing.

Perhaps, it was because Baili Moqing was too legendary.

Just as Xu Zining was thinking, he heard his cold voice, "Throw everything on the bed out and burn it!"

The next day, the news that the Northern Di army of 100,000 soldiers was on the march instantly swept across Tianqi.

Emperor Wenqi was furious and sent the National Defense Army with 500,000 elite troops to Chenzhou and Lancheng to fight.

At this time, a name once again entered the public's field of vision, "God of War, Baili Moqing."

The news of Baili Moqing's appearance in Beisha City swept the imperial city early in the morning. The King of Dongli, who had been silent for four years, suddenly became the hottest topic in Kyoto again.

"I heard that King Dongli was poisoned and is now a cripple!"

"How is that possible?! I just heard today that a few days ago, when the Northern Di army invaded Beisha City, it was King Dongli who intervened and single-handedly repelled nearly a hundred Northern Di cavalrymen!"

"My news is the real thing! It is said that it was the Chengfeng Army that repelled the enemy, not King Dongli. King Dongli only showed up once."

"Ah? Wasn't Baili Moqing stripped of his throne and exiled to the north? How could he still command the Chengfeng Army to repel the enemy?"

"You don't know this, right? The Chengfeng Army is the personal guard of King Dongli! Not only are they the elite among the elites of the Tianqi Army, but they only take orders from King Dongli! Now, they are led by General Bei!"

"But, the capital of Dongli has been exiled. How dare His Majesty the Emperor keep the Chengfeng Army in Beisha City?"

"Because the Third Pass General is Zhen Li."

"The General Zhenli who broke through the three major passes of the Northern Di in one day?"

"Yes! That's him!"

"Zhenli, Nanqi, Beiji, and Xizhu were the four vanguard generals of the former King Dongli. In the battle that defeated the Northern Di and recaptured Beisha City, these four generals were truly remarkable! They are the four most valiant generals in Tianqi today! They only take orders from one man! That is King Dongli!"

"King Dongli committed such a grievous crime back then, yet he was only stripped of his throne and exiled. Do you think our Emperor didn't want to kill him? It was only because of the tenacious defense of these four generals that King Dongli was able to survive!"

"It's a pity that the four most elite warriors are now falling apart."

"But when it came to the Dongli King incident, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was wrongly accused. How could it have been handled so quickly then?"

"Isn't it obvious? The emperor is afraid!"

A group of people gathered in a corner of the teahouse, whispering about the "forbidden things" of the past. Fortunately, the cheers of the audience drowned out their voices, which put their worries at ease.

At this moment, a woman in a water-green dress approached from the nearby tea table, offering her beef dish with a gentle and polite smile. "Hey brothers, where is the Third Pass General Zhenli you just mentioned now?"

The group of people who were talking looked at the girl who came over with strange expressions, their faces uncertain.

"drive!"

At the north gate of Qijing, a woman in a water-green dress rode away on a red horse.

A sentence kept echoing in her mind.

"He's in the National Defense Army. He should have already set out for the north."

"Dongli, after four years, I finally found you!"

The woman had a sword tied to her horse's back, and her pretty face showed a hint of joy and excitement. Her fluctuating heartbeat was like her aqua-green silk dress, fluttering in the strong wind, unable to calm down.

At this time, in the Biluo Garden of Beisha City, Nanqi was reporting the letter from Xizhu to Baili Moqing.

"Zhenli is here, bringing the remaining 90,000 Chengfeng soldiers!" He picked up the letter and his face flushed slightly with excitement.

Bei Ji, standing aside, frowned. "At this critical moment, what is the emperor's intention in sending Zhenli and Chengfeng Army?"

He knew clearly how important the prince was to the Chengfeng Army.

"Could it be that His Majesty wants to accept the prince again?" Bei Ji guessed, with some excitement in his eyes.

If this is true, then this time, I really have to thank Shen Chuan!

Baili Moqing was holding a book in his hand. He had taken off his cloak and was only wearing a thick crescent-shaped white cotton robe. The black cross collar was embroidered with several dark auspicious clouds and very delicate and complex patterns.

Under Shu He's treatment, he was no longer so sensitive to cold.

He stared at the book, but sneered in his heart.

Looking up, his gaze fell on the front yard, beneath the crabapple tree. A woman in a pale white silk dress outlined her figure to perfection. Her long black hair flowed down like a waterfall, transforming her otherwise ordinary features into something delicate and captivating.

She seems different.
