Moreover, he didn't believe that the person in front of him could be so calm and collected. If he were calm and collected, he wouldn't have been willing to be a wise man of the Di Rong.

Sure enough, his next question was about the descendants of the Yan Tuo family.

"Where is my nephew now? I wish to see him."

"In Baicheng, a thousand miles away, it seems you cannot meet him now. However, we can help you deal with your enemies."

Shen Jinchen felt that his words were sincere, and if he still didn't agree, then he didn't need this person anymore.

"What does the Prime Minister want me to do?"

At this moment, the white-haired old man had nothing more to say. If it was possible to revitalize the Yan Tuo family, he, as an old man, could do his best with his remaining strength.

"Sir, you are a man of great wisdom. The Imperial Academy needs a good teacher to benefit all the students in the world, and you are the best candidate. So I, Shen, staged this whole thing. Originally, I wanted to convince you through the war outside Yumen Pass, but now that's no longer necessary. I can only resort to threats and manipulation."

Shen Jinchen smiled at Yan Tuojue and answered quite frankly. The more some people beat around the bush with him, the less sincere they seem.

He felt that when facing Yan Tuojue, he had to play it straight.

"So it's about teaching and nurturing people. Prime Minister Shen truly cares about the world. I'll accept it, but I have two requests. I hope Prime Minister Shen can give me a promise."

Yan Tuojue glanced at the young man sitting opposite him with surprise, and then readily agreed.

"Pu Yusai will certainly be killed in his true colors. Your descendant from the Yan Tuo family will soon be going to the capital to take up a post in the Ministry of Rites. Is this answer satisfactory, sir?"

Shen Jinchen knew what the other party's conditions were, so he revealed his decision without the other party having to say anything.

"Satisfied! But I have one question: what would have happened if I hadn't surrendered today?"

Yan Tuojue squinted at Shen Jinchen, wanting to test him again.

“Park Yu-seok will die too, but I will definitely eliminate you and your nephew.”

Shen Jinchen chuckled, picked up the tea in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and then answered the question quite frankly.

"He is indeed a powerful leader. No wonder he has taken control of the Da Yan court in just a few years. I have to admire him."

"Since you have surrendered, I will offer you a great gift. I hope that after Prime Minister Shen breaks through the Di Rong royal court, he will spare the king's life. No matter what his purpose is, he is ultimately the savior of my Yan Tuo family."

After Yan Tuo felt he had found the answer, he also picked up his teacup, finished the tea in front of him, and laughed loudly. After that, he began to treat Shen Jinchen differently.

"Then it would be impolite of us to refuse. Sir, what do you think our next move should be in attacking the royal court?"

Shen Jinchen admired Yan Tuojue's pragmatism and moved on to the next topic of discussion.

"The only truly capable fighter among the Di Rong is Geshu Kuang. Once we subdue him, storming the royal court will be a piece of cake. You must kill him first!"

Yan Tuojue knew very well that if Ge Shukuang were still alive, they would probably have a very difficult time fighting him, because that person was indeed very strong, to the point that others could only look up to him.

"There's no need to worry about that anymore. We just received news that Geshu Kuang was already under the walls of Haicheng when he was unexpectedly beheaded."

Shen Jinchen thought for a moment and realized that the wise man was imprisoned and unaware of the situation at the front, so he gave him a proper explanation.

"Hahaha... It seems you are the people's choice. Di Rong's expedition this time has no advantage in terms of timing, location, or popular support! If Ge Shu Kuang is dead, then I have nothing to say. No matter how Shen Xiang fights, it will be a great victory."

Yan Tuojue never expected that such a big change would happen on Di Rong's side in just one day.

It seems even the heavens are on this Prime Minister Chen's side!

Even if he doesn't surrender, the Di Rong will still be defeated.

"Where is the royal court of the Di Rong? I intend to resolve this matter quickly!"

Shen Jinchen never expected Lu Duling to be so foolish as to get involved in a war for the sake of a relationship, and even lose her life in the process.

However, Shen Jinchen only cared about where the royal court was, because only by ending the war quickly could he free up his hands to go find Cen Xi.

"I will draw a map, please wait a moment, Mr. Chen."

Seeing that Shen Jinchen was indeed anxious, Yan Tuo agreed to draw a map for him.

"Fengqin, bring the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and ask the gentleman to paint immediately."

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Shen Jinchen immediately instructed Feng Qin to carry out the task.

"yes!"

After receiving a signal from him, Feng Qin quickly prepared the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After obtaining the tools to draw, Yan Tuojue quickly drew a map and handed it to Shen Jinchen.

"Take good care of the master and stay by his side at all times. If you fail to do this well, I will personally arrange for your Zhuzhu to marry someone else after I return to the capital."

After receiving the map, Shen Jinchen gave Feng Qin a cold look and, for the first time, settled accounts with him for losing Cen Xi.

"Yes! Your subordinate will stay by your side at all times. If this matter is not handled well, your subordinate will have no face to see you again, and will take his own life."

Feng Qin wiped the sweat from her forehead and responded respectfully.

"I hope I'll hear good news when I get back."

After saying this, Shen Jinchen left the camp alone, rode a horse, and headed towards Haicheng.

Bai Ze didn't expect that after only two hours, the princess's husband would personally come to Haicheng.

Moreover, upon arrival, he immediately issued orders.

"Bai Ze, bring your five thousand men and come with me."

"Where is she going? Her Highness the Princess said she was coming to Haicheng, but I haven't seen her yet. What happened to her?"

Bai Ze had long since decided that he belonged to Cen Xi, so he was somewhat reluctant to accept Shen Jinchen's transfer, and he was also a little worried because he hadn't seen them come together.

“Ah Xi, there are other things to deal with. Bai Ze, you are a soldier, and soldiers should obey orders. Although you are his people, we are husband and wife. You should recognize the situation.”

Shen Jinchen looked at Bai Ze with an inscrutable expression. Although his tone was emotionless, everyone knew that he was angered.

"Yes! Bai Ze has overstepped his bounds. Everyone, listen to my command and quickly organize the troops to accompany the Prime Minister on the expedition."

Bai Ze was suddenly given a warning and quickly realized his place. He knelt down on one knee to apologize and then gave instructions to his subordinates.

Shen Jinchen was not particularly pleased with the other party's compromise; on the contrary, he became even more suspicious of Bai Ze.

Cen Xi is quite something; her ability to attract attention is something he can only dream of. In just a few days, she has already won over this pretty boy.

That was the best revenge; I sent him a jar of fine vinegar.

However, the people she trained were indeed suitable for assaults, and there were no suitable replacements in the three armies at the moment. Even if Shen Jinchen was extremely jealous, he had no choice but to use Bai Ze.

Only by ending the war quickly can we find that woman and settle the score.
