Ma Jin's words were particularly serious.

Even the late emperor and ancestors were brought up.

Moreover, everyone could hear that he was clearly forcing His Majesty to make a decision.

Jiang Li's face darkened as he pondered:

"Very good—as a subject to my master, it seems that General Ma Jin believes that I have no face to face my ancestors."

Ma Jin shuddered and quickly bent down, saying, "I acknowledge my guilt. Your Majesty, please forgive me—I absolutely did not mean that."

"Hmph. I will give you an explanation."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ma Jin's face became even uglier.

What has he done to deserve an explanation from Your Majesty?

Jiang Li waved her hand and took out a letter from her sleeve. She handed it to the eunuch next to her:

"This is the letter that Dao Nu sent back before the court session. My dear ministers, please take a good look at it. Especially, please give a good look to General Ma Jin."

The eunuch responded, took the letter respectfully, and took a few quick steps to present it to Ma Jin.

Ma Jin's face was solemn. He bowed and quickly took it and opened it.

The ministers nearby all came over, wanting to know what was written inside first.

【His Majesty】

Today, the diplomatic corps arrived at the border of Dagan and was ambushed by nearly two hundred experts from the Yuxu Palace. Their leaders were Chen Pu of the Yuxu Palace and Madam Cheng Qiuci of the Zhenguo Mansion. I led the Shadow Guards in a fierce resistance, while the Marquis of Guanjun led an army of forty thousand men to engage the Yuxu Palace.

The Champion Marquis's 40,000-strong army has already developed a military spirit. Although they are still inexperienced in combat, their fighting power is astonishing. I venture to speculate that within a month, the 40,000-strong army will be as powerful as any other large army.

After the battle, over 170 people from Yuxu Palace died. Among them, Cheng Qiuci, defeated by Guanjun Hou, committed suicide out of shame.

Since leaving Tiandu City, the Champion Marquis has been acting strangely. In a dangerous place, he received a blessing from the temple and has reached the sixth level of perfection. His 40,000 strong soldiers worship him as the Son of God and are extremely enthusiastic about him.

The Marquis of Guanjun has repeatedly defied your orders to reinforce his troops, while also acting as an ambassador. The road ahead is treacherous, and I, your humble servant, am unable to make a decision. I can only follow your Majesty's original order and continue to assist the Marquis of Guanjun.

[If there is a new decree, Your Majesty, please convey it immediately! This servant - Dao Nu.]

Not many words.

But the key message is clear.

Some old ministers even read it aloud while watching it.

When the court officials heard this, they were all shocked and started whispering to each other.

"What? Did I see that right? Champion Marquis has already reached the sixth level of perfection? What kind of cultivation speed is this?"

"Could it be that he is really the next person chosen by the Zongheng family?"

"How is that possible? Didn't he say a few days ago that he went to a village to recruit soldiers? It's only been a few days since they started recruiting soldiers? And he's already a strong army?"

"No, no, no, Cheng Qiuci from Zhenguo Mansion is dead? Wouldn't the Duke of Zhenguo be going crazy? This family is really making Dagan so restless."

"The Yuxu Palace is so bold. Do they really not take me seriously? They dare to assassinate anyone?"

"But this Lin Che, he's such a scoundrel. He actually attacked his own mother. Since ancient times, anyone who attacks their own parents has been considered a traitor and a heartless person!"

“Nonsense!!”

Just as several veteran officials were accusing Lin Che, a powerful voice drowned out everyone else.

The person who made the sound was Zhang Erhe, who was lying on a stretcher. He just rolled over and jumped up.

Looking at his face and the aura he exudes, how can he be said to be terminally ill or dying?

It's clearly as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger.

"You bunch of bastards, even at this point, you still dare to slander my sworn brother, Guan Junhou. I, Zhang Erhe, am the first one to disagree!!"

"You, you, didn't you say yesterday that you and the Champion Marquis were just casual acquaintances and not very familiar with each other? And, are you recovered from your illness?"

Zhang Erhe wiped the white foam from the corner of his mouth and flicked his sleeves.

He looked as if he was in so much pain.

"A gentleman's friendship is as light as water. My elder brother and I are just casual acquaintances. But that doesn't mean our feelings aren't deep. Also, I've been blessed by His Majesty and recovered from my illness. Is that not okay?"

Zhang Erhe rolled up his sleeves, pointed at the ministers, and angrily cursed:

"Did you see it? Did you see the letter from Lord Dao Nu? Tell me, who exactly intercepted and killed our Da Gan delegation?"

"Ma Jin, right? Qi Shenshen, right? Come on, come on. Stand aside. I just want to ask you one thing: who is trying to kill our delegation? Answer me!!"

Ma Jin quickly said, "No matter who intercepted the delegation, this has nothing to do with Lin Che disobeying the order and increasing his troops, intending to rebel!!"

"It doesn't matter? Of course you, with your pig-head, can't imagine that it matters. But I can't believe that a general like you would say such a foolish thing."

Zhang Erhe instantly took control of the entire place. He waved to everyone, attracting their attention, and then he said loudly:

"I'm going to ask you all, what is the first mission of the mission?"

"Of course, it means going to Yanyun Country smoothly and returning smoothly! Right?"

"My brother, my eldest brother Lin Che. As an ambassador, he anticipated the danger. He didn't ask the court for help, nor did he seek help from you. He went through untold hardships to find a way to protect the delegation. That was to recruit soldiers."

"Thank goodness for his foresight. Look, they're now being ambushed by powerful men from the Yuxu Palace. Fortunately, his 40,000-man army protected the delegation and saved our Dagan from losing face."

"Such an ambassador, such a champion marquis who is both civil and military, is actually being accused of treason by you, Ma Jin, Qi Shenshen, and you bunch of bastards. Are you all blind?"
