Qi Yu'an chuckled and said, "Oh right, Prince Ning is doomed, and Prince Liao is now entrenched in the Liaozhou area. Shangzhou City and Jingji Province will also be a tough nut to crack. But we still have to think about who to support to ascend the throne after we capture Shengjing."

Qi Yuning heard their words and was impressed by their courage, but she felt the strength in her hand tighten. She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Ze.
