"What reward does Xie Junshi want?"

Murong Yan felt that with Bai Jin's current achievements, even if she was made the Crown Princess, those old-fashioned people in the court should not have any major objections.

However, Bai Jin just wanted to end it all quickly. Although going to the battlefield did satisfy her wish, she also didn't want to watch the people suffer.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask for your help."

"Oh? Tell me."

"The Southern Kingdom was defeated in this battle. Not only did they suffer heavy losses in their military strength, but their morale was also crushed. At this time, if the Great Zhou could pursue the victory, it would surely win."

"Therefore, I, Commander Xie, have discussed with you and decided to adjust our forces within three months and attack the Southern Kingdom directly."

Xie Bochen was stunned. When did his second sister discuss this with him? Did he lose his memory?

However, although the incident happened very suddenly, what the second sister said made sense. If they let the Southern Kingdom recover, it would be much more difficult for them to win.

"Your Majesty, I think so too."

But Murong Yan didn't think so.

There was a certain amount of luck in being able to achieve a complete victory this time. If we pursue the victory, Da Zhou would probably lose more baggage and troops. It would be better to let Dong Yue come first and they can still provide support from the rear.

"I think we should discuss this matter with Emperor Dongyue before making a decision."

Bai Jin interrupted him directly, "Your Majesty, when we parted, Emperor Dongyue had already agreed with your idea."

Bo Chen nodded and said, "Indeed, Your Majesty."

Murong Yan was embarrassed but also a little angry. Did the Xie family become too powerful and no longer obey the rules? They even secretly conspired with the Emperor of Dongyue to plan the next battle. They really didn't take him, the emperor, seriously, did they?

But thinking about the war against the south, he still had to rely on these two people, so he suppressed his anger.

"I will consider this matter and make a decision later."

Bo Chen sighed softly, he knew that the emperor would not agree so easily.

But Bai Jin was determined to fight head-on. This dog emperor didn't care about the safety of the people at all. He only thought about his own interests and was afraid of spending more money.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter should not be delayed any further. As far as I know, as long as the Southern Kingdom does not surrender, the threat to the Great Zhou will not decrease."

"Besides, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and urgently needs achievements to win the hearts of the people and secure your throne. If you miss the opportunity, I'm afraid some people far away will be eager to make a move."

Of course, she was referring to the fifth prince who was expelled from the capital. This kid is not an easy person to deal with. If he knew the whole thing, wouldn't he think of revenge and fight for the throne?

Murong Yan gave her a sidelong glance. How dare this person threaten him so blatantly?

But after he calmed down, he had to admit that she had a point.

The governing talents of my grandfather and father are obvious to all, and it is also true that my abilities are not as good as theirs, but no one else can say this.

"It seems that Military Advisor Xie has a lot of ideas. Do I have to listen to you from now on?"

"I dare not. I just hope that the emperor can keep his throne, so that the Xie family can be prosperous. Therefore, the Xie family will spare no effort to consider the emperor."

After hearing this, Murong Yan felt much more balanced. It turned out that she was considering the interests of himself and the Xie family. Now he could understand why she was so anxious.

"I see. I have wrongly accused you two. But the Southern Kingdom relies mainly on waterways, and not many people in the Great Zhou are familiar with water. Has Military Advisor Xie ever thought about how to solve this problem?"

"Your Majesty, the Great Zhou is full of talented people. It is not difficult to find some soldiers who are familiar with water. Moreover, the Great Zhou and Dongyue have joined forces and mainly attack from the mountain roads. The water route is only to divert the enemy's attention."

Seeing how determined she was, Murong Yan's hesitation was reduced by half, but his anxious character still prevented him from making up his mind.

What if Dongyue turns against them halfway, then wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

Bai Jin saw how conflicted he was. If the other person wasn't an emperor, she would have wanted to speak sweet words to him.

"Your Majesty, think about it. If the Great Zhou is slow to act and Dongyue takes the lead in attacking, who should be credited with the Southern Kingdom's surrender?"

"I think the Emperor of Dongyue would not be so kind as to attribute most of the credit to the Great Zhou, right? By then, the Southern Kingdom will fear Dongyue, not the Great Zhou. The situation of the Great Zhou will be even more dangerous."

Murong Yan came to his senses instantly. Yes, that was the truth. This credit must not be taken away by others.

"Military Advisor Xie is indeed very thoughtful. In this case, I agree. Commander Xie and Military Advisor Xie should make preparations early. I will let General Zheng assist you to conquer the Southern Kingdom and bring peace to the people."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Bai Chen and Bai Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the palace, Bo Chen carefully reminded her, "Second sister, you are too impulsive. If you offend the emperor, won't everything mother has done go to waste?"

"I am only stating the facts. This is a critical moment, and the Emperor wants to hear honest advice, not flattery."

"Okay." If anyone else, it would have to be his second sister, who is fearless.

When Bai Jin went to the palace, she wore men's clothes, mainly because she thought it was convenient. She got up late and had no time to do it.

However, on her way back, she noticed that others were looking at her differently.

Many men and women gave her strange looks, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She wanted to find a mask to cover herself.

These people not only watched, but also whispered beside.

"Eh? This is Xie's daughter, Military Advisor Xie, right? She's so pretty."

"Yes, I heard that she is very powerful on the battlefield, much stronger than most men. The point is that she is not married yet."

Many men are also eager to make a move, "I really want to know what kind of man can be worthy of such a powerful woman."

Even Bai Chen, who was standing next to Bai Jin, was slightly inferior to him.

He turned his gaze towards his second sister and looked at her carefully. To be honest, if his second sister was a man, he would definitely be a gigolo.

He was even a little jealous. After all, he was a commander, but he had no advantage over his sister.

But on second thought, he felt it was a pity. After the war, his second sister would leave. He wondered if the emperor and the people would feel regretful.

But if she goes to Dongyue, her mother will protect her second sister, and she will be much freer and safer than staying here.

Bai Jin saw him staring at him and said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's so creepy."

"Second sister, you are joking. Look around. Am I the only one looking at you? It's obvious that a lot of people are looking at you."

"Oh, I don't know what they are looking at."

Bai Jin had no choice but to lower his head and walked much faster.

If she had known this, she would have asked Aunt Wen to make her two extremely ugly human skin masks before she left, just to see who would dare to look at them.

Three months later.

Da Zhou and Dong Yue secretly agreed on a date for the raid and found a compromise location to meet up.
