However, despite his efforts to focus on the memorials, King Lin's mind remained unsettled.

The suppressed anger surged like an undercurrent, constantly assaulting his reason.

He gritted his teeth, his fingers unconsciously drawing lines on the memorial.

It was as if he wanted to pour all the resentment in his heart onto this thin piece of paper.

After a long while, Junlin finally put down his pen, raised his head, and looked out at the night sky.

The moonlight was as clear as water, but it could not dispel the gloom in his heart.

He sighed softly, his voice tinged with helplessness and weariness: "When will this world return to peace?"

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Junlin raised his head alertly, his gaze sweeping towards the doorway like lightning.

A moment later, the door was gently pushed open, and a guard dressed in black strode in, kneeling on one knee.

He whispered, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!"

Jun Lin frowned and said in a deep voice, "Speak!"

The guard raised his head, his expression grave:

"According to reports from scouts, there is unusual activity on the border. The Qi army seems to be gathering and may launch an attack soon."

Jun Lin was startled, and his previous annoyance vanished instantly.

He stood up abruptly, his eyes blazing: "Northern Qi? Why are they making their move now?"

The guard said:

"It is said that the new king of Northern Qi is ambitious and wants to take advantage of the internal strife in our dynasty to annex the territory of our Great Xia in one fell swoop."

Jun Lin sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"Internal strife? Hmph, do they think our Great Xia is without capable men?"

"Pass down the order to have the border garrison on high alert, and at the same time mobilize nearby troops."

"I want to see reinforcements assembled at the border within three days!"

"Yes!" The guard accepted the order and left, his footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

Junlin sat back down at the table, his gaze once again falling on the memorials.

However, at this moment, he had already made up his mind.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on the night sky outside the window, and murmured to himself:

"Jun Jiuxiao, I will take back what you owe me with my own hands."

"And the land of Dongjing will never fall into chaos!"

He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and cleared his mind of all distractions.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was as hard as steel.

As he sat quietly on the bed, his gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping over everything in the room, his chilling aura inspired awe in those around him.

Now, Chu Xingchi, the eldest son of the Zhennan General's Mansion, and Chu Xingyi, the second son, are both married and have started their own families.

They are young and promising, with superb martial arts skills, and it is the perfect time for them to serve the country.

The borders of Dongjing Kingdom are frequently embroiled in war, with flames of conflict raging across the land. The people are living in dire straits and desperately need brave soldiers to step forward and defend the peace of the nation.

The three members of the Chu family, father and sons, are all pillars of the Dongjing Kingdom. It is time for them to go to the battlefield and make greater contributions to the Dongjing Kingdom.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, his majestic gaze sweeping across the court.

He waved his hand slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Guards, draft an imperial edict ordering General Chu Huaizhong of the Zhennan General's Mansion and his two sons, Chu Xingchi and Chu Xingyi, to immediately proceed to the border battlefield, obey the commander's orders, and serve the Dongjing Kingdom."

Although his voice was not loud, it was like a great bell, making everyone in the court feel awe.

Before long, a eunuch rode swiftly to the Zhennan General's Mansion to deliver the imperial edict.

Holding the imperial edict, he galloped along, his horse's hooves striking the ground like a torrential downpour, raising a trail of dust.

Upon seeing the imperial edict from afar, the guards of the General of Zhennan's mansion hurriedly opened the gates and respectfully received the decree.

The eunuch dismounted, strode into the mansion, and shouted, "By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees—"
