The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

Are you being very polite to the little guy?

Sikong Jin looked at the sable, seeing it wiggling its butt with an arrogant look, and immediately slapped its little head, saying in a low voice, "Still being so polite, look at you, so arrogant like an Alphard. Why do you look more and more like someone's personality? Could it be that Emperor Beizun has possessed you?"

"Let's go back to the manor first, it's quite cold outside."

Only then did Xing Fuhua smile happily, and then he mounted his horse.

After speaking, the group quickly rushed towards the commander's mansion.

……

Inside the study of Yukichi Ten in the Commander's Mansion, Sikong Jin immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Yukichi Ten, saying, "Sikong Jin greets Your Excellency!"

Sikong Jin held Prince Duan, who was honest, self-disciplined, upright, kind, and gentle, in high esteem. He was also her future father-in-law. She admired his calm, composed, and refined demeanor. In her eyes, he was a god-like figure, but unfortunately, he was too unattainable.

Sikong Jin couldn't help but glance at Xing Qitian again. However, in a daze, she felt that the sable on her shoulder seemed to look at her with a very strange gaze, and she immediately came back to her senses.

Dressed in a pure white robe, Xing Qitian stood up from his desk, a gentle and kind smile appearing on his handsome face. He walked around the desk towards Sikong Jin and said, "I was a little incredulous when I received Wu Ge's letter, but I didn't expect you to actually come."

"My lord, Ajin only arrived at Hangu Pass last night. When the soldiers came to report, I couldn't believe it at first. This guy has been missing for several months, and now he suddenly appears. It's quite surprising. My lord has even sent many secret guards to search for his whereabouts everywhere."

Ji Wuge, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but throw a resentful look at Sikong Jin. Seeing Sikong Jin touch his nose guiltily, he scolded in a low voice, "I'm talking to you! How many experts did the Emperor of Liao send to assassinate you, and you don't even know how to worry?"

"If worrying could make the Liao emperor abandon his assassination plot against me, I'd be willing to worry every single day," Sikong Jin replied helplessly.

Xingqi Tian smiled, pointed to the soft couch next to him, and walked straight over. "Sit down first. I have withdrawn those guards. I am relieved to know that you are alright."

Sikong Jin and Ji Wuge also sat down.

"I'm sure Wuge has already told you about the situation at Hangu Pass. All I can say is that we are about to face a protracted and fierce battle. The imperial edict ordering you to garrison Wangzhou is here. Take a look for yourself."

Xing Qitian handed the imperial edict to Sikong Jin, who casually took it, glanced at it, and then nodded, "This humble official understands."

"The Western Barbarians of the Great Liao are warlike. Xi Fenglie personally led his Eagle Army southward, cutting off the key passes between my Great Yong and Tian Sheng. They quickly dispatched troops, catching Tian Sheng off guard and causing them to lose the important border city of Ningzhou. At the same time, not far from my Hangu Pass, there are hundreds of thousands of troops under Ge Su. The situation is not optimistic." Xing Qitian's tone was somewhat heavy. He took a sip of tea before continuing, "Given this situation, our Great Yong and Tian Sheng may form a joint army to jointly confront the Liao army."

"Ningzhou City of Tiansheng has fallen?"

Sikong Jin looked at Xing Qitian with some surprise, and even Ji Wuge was taken aback when he heard the news.

Xingqi Tian nodded, took out a newspaper from his sleeve, and handed it to the two of them. Ji Wuge quickly reached out and took it, then opened it to take a look.

"I just received the urgent report from the Eight Hundred Express. Xi Fenglie first swept through the Jiangxi Fortress with whirlwind speed. Before anyone could react, he led his Eagle Division in a lightning attack on Ningzhou City. The Tiansheng garrison stationed in Ningzhou City surrendered without resistance for more than three hours. Tiansheng lost Ningzhou City somewhat unjustly. They had no idea when Xi Fenglie's army would arrive at the city gates. Who could have predicted that Xi Fenglie's southward march with 200,000 iron cavalry was actually divided into two groups? One group went directly to the Jiangxi Fortress, while the other group broke up the entire force and took secret mountain roads. No one knew when they would get around to the back of Ningzhou City."

"I have met Xi Fenglie. He is a good general, especially in terms of strategy and tactics. He is quite farsighted. The Eagle Division he commands is known as the Eagles of the Grasslands. It is probably the most fierce cavalry in the entire Fengyun. Previously, the Western Continent was in great chaos. There were more than a dozen nobles of all sizes entrenched in the grasslands. The ruling Liao royal family was the Western Barbarians. The Western Barbarians have always been known for their barbarity and warlike nature. They are a typical nomadic people. Almost every warrior is a master horseman. The previous Liao emperor used this Eagle Division to sweep through several noble tribes in the western part of the Western Continent in an extremely powerful manner. This laid the foundation for the strength of Liao today."

As Koki Ten spoke, his expression turned slightly somber.

Ji Wuge nodded. "Yes, I've heard my father mention this before. This Eagle Division is the elite force of the entire Liao Dynasty, with a total of over 200,000 men. 100,000 are under the command of Xi Fenglie, while the other 100,000 are under the command of the Liao Emperor himself. I didn't expect that he would give Xi Fenglie full authority to command them this time. This must be a great support for Xi Fenglie's southward campaign. And the more he does this, the more it shows that Xi Fenglie's purpose is not simple."

Is it really that amazing?

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Sikong Jin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, wondering to himself.

“Ajin, do you know that your father was killed by this Eagle Division? At that time, the leader of this Eagle Division was the famous general of the Liao Dynasty, Gesu, who was the number one fierce general of the Liao Dynasty.”

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin's chest sank, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and a sharp, cold light flashed in the depths of her pupils. Her delicate hand holding the imperial edict tightened abruptly.

"Even the Heavenly Saints are terrified of this Eagle Division. The Heavenly Saints have already dispatched 300,000 troops, led by the Fourth Prince Tuoba Kang, to the border, fearing that Xifeng Lie will tear open the Jiangxi Fortress and lead 200,000 iron cavalry to break through the Heavenly Saints' northwestern defense line. You know, once the northwestern pass of the Heavenly Saints is breached, the Heavenly Saints' situation will not be much better. Now that autumn has arrived, their 200,000 troops should naturally be preparing for the winter ahead."

"But I heard before that Tuoba Yu's army is currently stationed in Huaicheng, northeast of Tiansheng. After this incident, shouldn't Tiansheng have sent him directly to the Jiangxi fortress? Why go through all this trouble to transfer Tuoba Kang there?"

Ji Wuge asked with some confusion.
