"However, just as you said, I still want to send someone to see for myself. I want to see with my own eyes that wicked bastard has committed such heinous crimes."
The emperor took a deep breath: "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have kept him alive to prevent future troubles."
He thought that no matter how bold the eldest prince was, he would not do such a rebellious thing, but he betrayed his father and his country and was going to become a sinner in the entire Daze Kingdom.
This is tantamount to slapping his father, the emperor, in the face.
There was also a sense of dejection about the emperor, thinking of his son whom he had doted on for many years, who now stood against him and all his subjects, seeking the benefit of another country.
The emperor felt both disheartened and ironic.
"Your Majesty need not worry, the wisdom of the Great Swamp Kingdom is inexhaustible," Qiao Lian'er said confidently.
The emperor's eyes showed a hint of appreciation: "Indeed, the Great Swamp Kingdom has many good ministers and fierce generals, as well as a mind like Lian'er. I have never had to worry about it."
The Qiao family army is the most hardworking, diligent, brave, and ambitious, with ever-changing formations and strong comprehension among its generals. They will surely become an invincible force in the Great Swamp Kingdom.
The pressure from the Da Nu Kingdom has forced the emperor to make strategic adjustments.
He considered for a moment and said, "I will allocate another 10,000 soldiers to you as your personal guard. Train them well. Who knows, the two countries might go to war again sometime in the future. What I need are useful soldiers. With the training intensity and requirements of the Qiao family army, I believe they will not disappoint me."
One intelligence report in exchange for ten thousand soldiers—it was well worth it for Qiao Lian'er.
"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations," she solemnly promised.
These 10,000 soldiers were originally stationed at a garrison in the outskirts of the capital. When the general committed a crime and was stripped of his post, the emperor handed them over directly to Qiao Lian'er.
Boss Qiao and his men were training the army when they saw a large army approaching from afar.
They immediately became alert.
"What's going on? Without orders from above, without permission or notification, how did these soldiers get here?" Da Meng pressed his hand on the sword at his waist.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. These are the 10,000 soldiers newly allocated to me by the Emperor. Our Qiao family army has gained another 10,000 troops." Qiao Lian'er walked out from the central army camp.
Upon hearing this news, the men of the Qiao family were overjoyed.
"Lian'er, is what you're saying true? Why would the Emperor suddenly make this decision?" Qiao Laoda asked.
"It is because the Da Nu Kingdom is intensifying its training, so His Majesty will further strengthen all the northern armies."
Once she said that, everyone understood.
"Now we need to conduct preliminary formation drills for them. Thank you all for your hard work."
Qiao Lian'er looked at the gradually darkening sky; she was about to head to Kachin again.
"Don't worry, Lian'er, the Qiao family army is a unified force. We will train them well," Qiao Laosan assured him.
“Yes, Lian’er, just go ahead and do your work. Don’t feel bad about it. You’re the one who’s truly working hard to support this family. This is what we should do. We’ll be there to support you,” Da Cheng said.
When Qiao Lian'er arrived in Kachin, it was around 5 a.m., and the sky was beginning to brighten.
A group of riders approached, not many in number, passing by on a mountain path in the distance. She glanced at them through her binoculars and saw that they were all carrying flags. The caravan in front was the Jiang family's, and behind them followed another family, a jade gambling family from another prefecture, surnamed Lu.
To be precise, it was an expedition team.
Two companies came at once, perfect.
