Shang Shaoyan shook his head: "There was no mistake. I was just thinking that the Shang army has been stationed in the Northwest for many years. If I take them to fight in other places, I don't know if they can adapt."
Mo Xing frowned. He hadn't heard Shang Shaoyan mention this before: "Where is the county princess planning to take us? Not to Shengjing?"
Shang Shaoyan glanced at Mo Xing, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Deputy General Mo, do you know that the unification of the Central Plains is an inevitable trend, but what is the point if I obtain a Central Plains riddled with holes? We must first unite against external forces—such as the restless Baiyue people in Yunnan, and the ruthless Japanese pirates in the East China Sea."
Mo Xing asked with some surprise, "Baiyue people? Japanese pirates?"
He paused, then clicked his tongue and said, "Southern Yunnan has a lot of miasma and a hot and humid climate, so I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to adapt well; not to mention the East China Sea, that's a naval battle, and many soldiers have never even seen the sea in their lives."
Shang Shaoyan nodded casually: "Yes...that's why I sent General Zhennan to Yunnan. As for the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea, we'll have to discuss that later."
Mo Xing: "...?"
He suspected he was hallucinating.
Mo Xing asked somewhat absentmindedly, "General Zhennan, that name sounds familiar."
Shang Shaoyan smiled and reminded him, "It's that female general. On the eve of the late emperor's intention to appoint her as the General Who Guards the South, she suffered a defeat, her appearance was disfigured, and then she married the Emperor Chen."
Mo Xing was even more dazed: "Yes, it's her."
Seeing Mo Xing's silly expression, Shang Shaoyan couldn't help but laugh: "Deputy General Mo, snap out of it."
Mo Xing came to his senses and looked at Shang Shaoyan with the eyes of someone looking at a monster: "Princess, don't tell me you sent Consort Zhao to Yunnan."
Shang Shaoyan shrugged, somewhat helplessly: "I've told you several times already. I only sent the General of Zhennan to Yunnan. As for the Consort Zhao you mentioned... she's probably already buried."
Mo Xing wasn't stupid; upon hearing this, he suddenly realized—only if Consort Zhao had passed away could General Zhennan have appeared in Yunnan.
Wait, something's not right.
He looked at Shang Shaoyan, his eyes practically blazing with fire: "Princess, how did you do that? You can even summon General Zhennan, so could you also summon...that person?"
Shang Shaoyan smiled and tucked his wind-blown hair behind his ear, lowering his eyes as he said, "Of course not."
Mo Xing breathed a sigh of relief; he knew the county princess wasn't that terrifying.
Then, in the next second, he took another breath.
