But Chu Yi never mentioned Mu Ci. Did he think Mu Ci could not reach this position, or... was Chu Yi obviously biased?

"Mu Ci?"

Chu Yi was surprised that Chen Tang would remember this spy chief. After thinking about it, he commented:

"She's... quite loyal and capable, but... she lacks the ambition to be a commander."

Xiao Ling: “…”

As if noticing her disapproval, Chu Yi smiled and rubbed her cheek slightly.

"Don't underestimate her because she's so highly regarded by the young emperor. That's because there's really no one else who can replace her as the commander. But what I said is true."

"In terms of ability, Commander Mu is indeed inferior to Zizhuo. Let me tell you something. If you think about it carefully, you will understand."

Finally, Chu Yi decided to tell Chen Tang what happened at the city gate today.

He was talking about when Chu Yan blocked the way at the city gate, and Mu Ci and Shi Qingxue went out and had slightly different attitudes towards their third brother.

Xiao Ling was stunned by what he heard, and then he continued to savor it until the very end. He seemed to understand something.

But she also understood that the reason why Mu Ci was hesitant was sometimes because he was thinking more about himself.

According to the Chu thief's unbelievable words, if Mu Ci had really tried to capture Chu Yan and punish him, the Chu thief would probably have launched a mutiny by now.

Chu Yi looked at her expression and felt helpless. "After saying so much, are you still angry?"

"No, I'm much better," Xiao Ling quickly smiled.

"If Lord Li is truly a corrupt official, then it's up to you. I won't have any worries."
