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

"The Great Zhou suddenly withdrew its troops from the border of the Yuezhi Kingdom, leaving only 100,000 troops stationed near the border. Moreover, most of the garrison troops previously stationed on the border of the Dayong Kingdom were also withdrawn to Guanzhong. It is said that the Crown Prince of the Northern Empire had been fighting for many years and his troops were exhausted. He planned to rest and recuperate for two years to catch his breath. Tiansheng was worried that there was a trap, so he dared not withdraw his troops easily and could only observe the movements of the Great Zhou in secret."

"It sounds like a storm is brewing. I heard that recently, the army under Gosu launched a major sweep on the border of our Great Yong. My lord, are we just going to wait for them to come to our doorstep before we fight back?"

Sikong Jin hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Of course we cannot sit idly by and wait for death, but now is not the best time for our army to send troops. With our strength alone, it will probably not be easy to face the Great Liao. Forming an alliance with Tian Sheng is the best way."

Xingqi Tian frowned and gently set down his teacup. "You should all understand the current situation. One move affects everything. We need to face not only the Liao Dynasty, but also Tiansheng. Only by bringing them into the picture will the pressure we face be less. If our army has sufficient supplies, I would agree to defend rather than attack!"

"My lord, perhaps this was the purpose of the marriage alliance between Tiansheng and my Dayong? Although Tiansheng is not weak, they naturally need to make more plans when faced with the valiant army of Da Liao. However, my lord, if we really organize a joint army, His Majesty..."

“I was just about to submit a memorial to the throne. I can rest assured that your father is with the Zhongzhou Society.”

Allied forces?

It seems that this is the only way. But is Xifenglie's Eagle Master really as powerful as the legends say?

They didn't really clash last time on the northwestern border. Could it be that, as Xi Fenglie said before, they will meet again on the battlefield this time?

Sikong Jin was somewhat looking forward to such an opponent; when they clashed before, she felt like she had met her match!

The study fell silent for a moment, the atmosphere subtly somber. Sikong Jin lowered his head and sipped his tea, a faint, eerie light flickering in his deep pupils.

In a daze, she could already hear the thunderous roar of iron cavalry from the Western Continent, like the fierce winds of the west.

"Ajin, what are your plans?"

After a while, Ji Wuge suddenly looked at Sikong Jin and asked.

Sikong Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, then waved the imperial edict in her hand, shrugged, and said, "What plans could I possibly have? I'll just follow the instructions on the edict. However, the edict doesn't seem to specify where I'm supposed to go. Why do I feel like I'm just going with the flow?"

Upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Xingqi Tianjun's handsome face. His deep, ocean-like eyes swept over Sikong Jin, and his gentle voice came, "You and the soldiers of your Wangzhou Xingdao originally belonged to my Hangu Wangzhou Second Army Corps. When I, along with the Zhongzhou Military Intelligence Bureau and the Emperor, won you over, I naturally had my own plans. However, isn't this exactly what you wanted? Don't you want to leave the capital? If it weren't for the famine and riots on the northwest border, you would probably still be trapped in the capital. No matter how much I plead, I'm afraid the Emperor wouldn't release you easily."

“My lord, I don’t quite understand His Majesty’s intentions. You see, Ajin and Princess Jiu’s wedding is imminent, and Ajin will soon be Princess Jiu’s husband. Why would His Majesty send Ajin to us as your son-in-law? I’ve always thought that His Majesty should transfer Ajin to the northern or northwestern border to try and divide us. But now, I don’t quite understand His Majesty’s intentions, my lord.”

After thinking for a moment, Ji Wuge finally voiced his question.

Upon hearing this, Xing Qitian paused, subconsciously raising his eyes to glance at Sikong Jin beside him, and said with a half-smile, "Where is Ajin? What do you think the Emperor's purpose is? Explain it to Wuge."

As he listened, Sikong Jin closed the imperial edict, placed it beside him, picked up his tea, took a sip, and said, "Actually, I also want to hear what you have to say. I had some doubts at first, just like Brother Ji, but after thinking about it carefully, I think I know the reason why the Emperor did this. But I want to see if you agree with my opinion."

Koki Ten smiled and nodded, put down his teacup, straightened his sleeves, paused for a moment, and then said, "It's actually very simple. Has Muge noticed which forces the soldiers that Ajin brought this time belong to?"

"The Four Banners Army of the Sikong Mansion, ah, the army originally commanded by the Grand Commander Sikong. After the Grand Commander Sikong's death, the military power of the Four Banners Army fell into the hands of Sikong Rui. When I learned that the Emperor had used the suppression of the rebellion to take back a portion of the military power to Ajin, I was quite happy for Ajin at the time, especially since she had directly taken back tens of thousands of elite soldiers. I reckon Sikong Rui must have been so angry he was about to vomit blood."

Ji Wuge thought for a moment and then replied happily.

"Since you know it's the Sikong family's army, can't you see the problem? I now control the royal army. Although the royal army, like your three major families, is organized under the Central State Military Command, that's just the organization. The royal army has always maintained its integrity. Besides, do you think Sikong Shu would willingly let me command this elite force of the Four Banners Army? Hangu Pass has always been guarded by the royal army. Don't you understand?"

Kosaki Ten's tone suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Hearing this explanation, Ji Wuge finally understood and nodded happily. "I understand. The Emperor is subtly creating trouble for us. He probably wants to plant a hidden pawn among us. Although the Four Banners Army were originally loyal to Commander-in-Chief Sikong, Ajin is not Commander-in-Chief Sikong. Most of them are truly loyal to the Sikong family. As long as Sikong Shu raises his arm, chaos may break out within the Four Banners Army. At that time..."

"He wants to use the Sikong Mansion to restrain me, so, Ajin, you are a very precious pawn. But it is precisely because of this that you have a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. You must make this army a force that you truly control, and make them absolutely obedient to you. Only in this way will no one be able to take away your military power in the future. Do you understand?"

As she spoke, Yukichi Ten suddenly seemed to remember something and sighed with a touch of melancholy, "If your father had done the same, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Ajin, the road ahead is arduous and full of bloodshed. I hope you won't follow in your father's footsteps."
