"Haha, my father-in-law guessed right. I did know I would leave Beijing, either to Beiting or Heishui."

"As for the reason, I'm sure my father-in-law knows it even if I don't tell him."

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If I die in the imperial capital, I'm afraid it will be bad for some people's reputation."

"But if I died in Beiting or Heishui, I wouldn't have this worry..."

After Ning Quan finished speaking, Li Junchen was suddenly shocked.

He didn't expect that Ning Quan saw things so clearly.

Ning Quan was right. This was probably the main reason why he was exiled to Beiting this time.

It has only been thirty years since the fall of the previous dynasty, and many of the remaining forces of the previous dynasty are still stirring up trouble, trying to overthrow the rule of the new dynasty.

This is also the reason why Ning Quan has been bullied since childhood and has been assassinated many times.

Because everyone knew that Ning Quan must die.

Li Junchen was not sure what the emperor was thinking, but he might not want Ning Quan to live and bear the blame.

Then killing this son through Beiting is undoubtedly the best way.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so smart and see things so clearly."

"But since you knew, why did you insist on dragging me down with you, and even sacrifice my precious daughter?"

Li Junchen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Having gotten involved with Ning Quan, he is in trouble in his life and cannot even retire and return home.

"Father-in-law, I have already said that I am capable of protecting myself."

"The worst-case scenario is that I can't even stand in Beiting anymore. If that's the case, I'll just desert and take Wanyue with me."

"It's a good opportunity to escape." Ning Quan explained.

"So, you are determined?"

Li Junchen said seriously.

"That's right!" Ning Quan said firmly.

"Well, since you insist on doing this, then it's up to you."

Li Junchen sighed.

At this point, he can no longer care about so many things. He knows his daughter's temper best.

No matter how hard you try, she won't be able to stop herself from doing what she wants to do.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your help."

"Father-in-law, I have something to ask of you."

Seeing that Li Junchen agreed, Ning Quan was overjoyed and immediately spoke.

"What's the matter? Just tell me directly."

"Father-in-law, I know that my eldest brother-in-law is now serving in the Ministry of War. The emperor has decreed that I can have two hundred personal soldiers. I hope that my eldest brother-in-law can help me select some elite soldiers."

Ning Quan said with a smile.

How can Ning Quan go to Beiting without soldiers?

Although two hundred soldiers are not many, they are still a guarantee.

Ning Quan was considering that if he went directly to the Ministry of War, he would definitely be harassed like he was at the Ministry of Revenue.

Even if they get it, the Ministry of War will probably just give it to some old, weak and disabled soldiers to get the job done.

But it would be different if I asked my brother-in-law for help, since we are all family.

"Since we are family, this will definitely not be a problem. I will write a letter right away, and you can take it to the Ministry of War to find him."

"But with only two hundred elite soldiers, we can't protect you at all. It's even a question of whether we can reach Beiting."

"You should understand how many people want to kill you on this journey."

Li Junchen reminded.

"My father-in-law is right. I understand this. I will be very careful."

Ning Quan responded.

It is certain that there will be an assassination attempt on the way to Beiting, and Ning Quan had already considered this.

But Ning Quan was not afraid, because in addition to the two hundred personal soldiers he was about to receive, he also had two thousand cavalry in the space.

Although these two thousand cavalrymen are Ning Quan's trump card, they can only be used when absolutely necessary.

You can't keep hiding it until you're about to die.

"Dad, don't we have guards at home? Just give him more."

Li Wanyue spoke.

"Humph, it's true that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up. Now they are becoming outgoing."

"Of course I can give you more guards, but it's easier to avoid an open attack than a hidden one. What will you do if the other side sends an expert to assassinate you?"

Li Junchen snorted coldly.

"Then...what do you want us to do? You won't help?"

Li Wanyue pouted and said.

"Girl, I told you I won't help you. Look how anxious you are!"

Seeing this, Li Junchen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Wanyue, stop making trouble."

Ning Quan quickly pulled her hand and signaled her not to speak.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. Even if I encounter an assassination attempt by a master, it won't be a problem. I have the ability to deal with it."

Ning Quan said calmly.

Hearing this, Li Junchen looked at Ning Quan in confusion, not understanding where Ning Quan got the confidence from.

"Can you handle the assassination?" Li Junchen stared at Ning Quan.

"Of course, my son-in-law also has experts around him."

Ning Quan said confidently.

"Do you have any experts around you?"

Li Junchen said in surprise.

"Yes, my Lord Father-in-law, please look, isn't the master right in front of us?"

Ning Quan pointed at Zhang Fei and Lu Bu not far away and said with a smile.

"So that my father-in-law knows that they are both seventh-rank."

"Seventh...seventh rank?"

Hearing this, Li Junchen was stunned and almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

A seventh-rank master is not a cabbage. He is a general commanding any country.

Such a person is actually Ning Quan's subordinate?

How can it be?

"Yes, they are exactly the seventh rank." Ning Quan confirmed.

"Haha, Your Highness is hiding it well enough!"

"You can actually recruit a seventh-grade one! I'm really impressed!"

Li Junchen shook his head and smiled bitterly. Ning Quan really gave him too many surprises.

How could he know that Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were not of the seventh rank at all, but of the ninth rank.

He didn't even know that Ning Quan had seven ninth-grade subordinates.

"Father-in-law, I am just trying to protect myself." Ning Quan said modestly.

"Well, that's true."

"But even so, you still have to be careful on this trip to Beiting."

"Otherwise, if something happens to you, what will Wanyue do?" Li Junchen said earnestly.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will be careful." Ning Quan promised.

"Okay, I won't say any more to you. You must have a lot of things to prepare these days, so get busy."

"If you need any help, just tell me."

"And you, stop staring at me. You're my only daughter, so how can I just sit there and do nothing?"

"Do you need to tell me about the guards? I will naturally assign more to you to protect you."

After giving the instructions, Li Junchen spoke to Li Wanyue in a bad mood.

"Hehe, I know that daddy loves me the most!"

"Thank you, daddy."

Hearing this, Li Wanyue immediately smiled happily.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your help!"

Ning Quan also hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Sure enough, marrying Li Wanyue has many benefits.

With the support of the Li family, future development in Beiting will definitely be smoother.

"Hmph, you're the only one with a sweet mouth."

Li Junchen glared at his daughter.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I have some important stuff to take care of."

Li Junchen finally waved his hand.
