"Would you still like to meet me..."

…

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

Xu Jinghuai, who was leaning over the desk, suddenly woke up from a short nap.

The eunuch said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the generals and counselors who will attack Maple Forest City are waiting outside the palace."

Xu Jinghuai rubbed his aching temples.

"Call them into the temple."

Next to the sand table in the main hall.

Military advisors and counselors all gave advice.

"Your Majesty has only recently ascended the throne, and Maple Forest City is filled with rebels. This journey is dangerous. Even if Your Majesty deems it appropriate, it is not appropriate for you to personally lead an expedition against Maple Forest City."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although Maple Forest City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is not an unsolvable mystery. I hereby request your permission to lead the army to attack Maple Forest City."

The person speaking at this time was Yan Yunshu's uncle, General Wenxuan Mingwen.

He had not participated in the battle with Hansha at the border due to illness, and had always felt regretful about it. Now that Fenglin City was being attacked, he had to bear the brunt of the fight and had no choice but to take on the responsibility.

Xu Jinghuai looked at Fenglin City in the center of the sand table with a frown on his face.

He thought about what he had promised his father.

He wanted to spare Xu Jingye's life and give him a decent ending, but swords and knives were merciless on the battlefield. If the soldiers were bloodthirsty, even he could not stop them.

What’s more, it’s General Wen.

He personally attacked Fenglin City, which was naturally the best outcome.

Even if it is dangerous, we will be able to resolve it quickly and maximize the guarantee of our promise to my father.

Can……

Now that his marriage to Yan Yunshu is imminent, the Ministry of Rites has not only completed all the preliminary preparations, but has even prepared the ceremony for the empress's enthronement.

How could he, at this moment, give up everything he had waited so long for and go out to fight again?

He pondered for a moment and nodded to Wen Xuanming.

"Then General Wen will lead the army to attack Maple Forest City."
