Two Worlds City.

A giant eagle possessed by a spirit came roaring from the distant sky.

On the top of the city wall, the Shadow Guard saluted the knife slave beside him, Lin Che said:

"Chief, Lord. Sorry for the long wait. My spirit will be back soon."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. Just don't fall down again." Lin Che smiled, looking relaxed and contented.

However, the knife slave next to him was a little nervous and felt extremely heavy-hearted.

She completely lost the bet with Lin Che.

Since arriving in the village, she had sent messages to His Majesty time and time again, but His Majesty only replied once, asking her to continue protecting Lin Che, and then there was no further order.

It’s true.

On the third day after the encounter between the Shenji Camp and the Zhenyuan Army, the imperial edict finally arrived.

No matter what His Majesty's will is, it means she has lost.

The giant eagle came roaring, circled half a circle above the city, swooped down and landed on the outstretched arm of the Shadow Guard.

"Lord Sword Slave."

The Shadow Guard quickly untied the small bamboo tube tied to the giant eagle's feet and handed it over respectfully.

After Dao Nu took it, he opened it quickly without hesitation.

There were two pieces of paper inside. Although they were rolled up, one could tell at a glance that they were expensive items that only the royal family could afford.

Dao Nu quickly opened the first one, glanced at it quickly, and then handed it directly to Lin Che:

"His Majesty has ordered us to stay in Liangjie City for half a month to rest and wait for General Wen Hong to arrive."

Lin Che frowned, took it and looked at it. There was nothing too formal on it.

It was not made clear why General Wen Hong was sent here.

However, since the person sent was Wen Hong, Lin Che did not need to worry. After all, everyone in the court knew that General Wen Hong was his close friend.

However, Lin Che was a little confused. What exactly did His Majesty want to do?

Such a big thing happened, 30,000 Zhenyuan soldiers were slaughtered, and Your Majesty didn't do anything?

Dao Nu opened the second piece of letter paper, glanced at it, and handed it to Lin Che.

"This is for you, too."

Lin Che took it and saw that it was actually a reply letter from Jiang Li.

The last time he was in the desert, he wrote a letter to His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to add the lines before and after "The smoke rises straight in the desert, the sun sets over the long river."

The poem is a good one, but it only has this one line. Since Lord Lin has such a deep affection for the desert and possesses such a strong army, why not recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? I will grant you this vast desert as a fiefdom.

Just simple words, nothing more.

It seems like a pie in the sky. He is going to conquer the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and he still needs your Majesty to grant him a fief?

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun all belong to me.

But judging from the "strong soldiers and horses", His Majesty does not seem to have expressed much thought.

What on earth is she thinking?

At this moment, Lin Che more or less felt a sense of "the will of heaven is unpredictable".

But I still want him to stay here.

That's impossible.

Now that he had angered Lin Pojun, would the Zhenyuan Army not come and seek revenge on him? Only a fool would stay here and wait to be beaten.

How do you want to fight? Where do you want to fight? It's all up to me.

I waited all these days just for the bet.

"Master Dao Nu. Haha, you won't deny our bet, right?"

Dao Nu was also very quick. He touched his waist and took off something that looked like a cow horn.

"Of course I accept the loss. I'll leave all the food and supplies inside to you for safekeeping."

"That's great! Is this your Hidden Sky Bag or Hidden Sky Horn? Or why not just give it to me..."

Dao Nu rolled his eyes at him, his expression clearly saying: You are dreaming!

“Where do we dump the supplies?”

"Just the inner city."

Then, the two of them went to the training ground in the inner city.

It was not difficult to pour out the supplies. Dao Nu poured all the supplies out, and Lin Che used his Cangtian Bag to collect them directly.

Because they are all warriors, even heavy supplies can be easily stored in the Cangtian Bag.

It only took half a day to completely deal with it.

"Hahaha. Lord Dao Nu is indeed a straightforward person. By the way, we can't just sit there and wait while we're stationed in the city. While I have time, I'll lead the troops out to suppress the bandits and give them some good training."

Dao Nu's expression changed, as if he understood what Lin Che was going to do.

She hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Then, be careful!"

"rest assured--"

Lin Che laughed heartily, waved his hand, and left with his guards. When they reached the stairs at the top of the city wall, he turned back and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Master Daonu."

Dao Nu did not respond, but just sighed deeply.

Not long after, the city was shaken, and the Shenji Camp began to move...

Dao Nu was on the top of the city wall, watching the Shenjiying army riding on war horses and leading a long team forward in the distance.

The shadow guard next to him whispered a reminder:

"Chief, shouldn't we follow him? What if, he, he doesn't come back?"

Dao Nu smiled bitterly and whispered:

"He was a hostage for ten years and made tremendous contributions to Dagan. He just wanted to live, and I shouldn't have stopped him—"

Dao Nu didn’t say the second half of the sentence: I can’t stop him either.

Your Majesty, I am unable to complete the task you have assigned me.

This delegation could no longer reach the Kingdom of Yanyun.

…

Tiandu City.

In the imperial study, Jiang Li, dressed in the imperial robe and looking extremely majestic, was quietly listening to Qian Fazheng's report.

"It's now certain that Lin Che possesses not only an astonishing talent in cultivation, but also in leading troops..."
