"Dragon Guard? You didn't really send the Dragon Guard to keep an eye on Miss Sang, did you?"
Qin Mu Hui instinctively took a sip of tea to mask his slight embarrassment. "I was just curious, and Miss Sang's methods..."
Qi Xiaomian chuckled teasingly, "What? Did the Dragon Guard fail?"
Qin Mu Hui looked exasperated. "It's not that! Once they went in, it was like entering a maze; they couldn't find their way out of that tiny courtyard all night."
When dawn broke, a path appeared that led directly to the Small Tavern at the back. Miss Sang even prepared breakfast for everyone and specifically packed a portion for them to take back to me in the palace.
"Did you eat it?"
"Of course."
"You really dare to eat anything."
"If I had no courage or judgment, this chair I'm sitting on wouldn't belong to me anymore."
"I once thought about recruiting her, but as her abilities became more apparent, I dismissed that idea. If you could marry her and make her one of us, that would be best."
Qi Xiaomian couldn't help but roll his eyes at how much the emperor overthought things. He returned to the previous topic. "On Black General's side, did the Dragon Guard gain anything?"
During the inspection period, they happened to witness the entire Ice Crossing Battle. Everyone says that this battle was Zhou Yunjin's rise to fame.
But the reality is that it was Black General who skillfully utilized the icy conditions to guide the entire battle. Zhou Yunjin has relied on Black General's military prowess more than once or twice, and with the Zhou family's influence and reputation, he has even gained equal standing with you.
Qi Xiaomian chose to speak frankly. "Zhou Yunjin does have some talent as a commander."
Qin Mu Hui commented, "His strengths lie in management and winning people's hearts. However, when it comes to battlefield combat, he still falls short. If he can continue to receive Black General's support, I would feel more at ease handing over the Northern Expeditionary Army to him in the future."
"But this fool can't seem to grasp things at critical moments!"
"Do they see me as just a rigid Emperor who can't adapt?!"
"So what if he's a demon? I've suspected Black General of being one for a long time. But once I determined that he posed no threat to our Great Jing Dynasty, I withdrew the Dragon Guard early and even appointed him as a general with an increasing salary based on merit—never once delaying payment."
Now that things have escalated, it won't take long for tales of the Northern Expeditionary Army's chaotic pursuit and attacks on comrades to spread throughout every corner of the Great Jing Dynasty and even reach other countries. It's truly embarrassing!
Qi Xiaomian nervously rubbed his nose; just hours ago, he had discussed with Sang Qingxiao about intervening in public opinion.
Qin Mu Hui continued, "Do you think Black General will retaliate against the Northern Expeditionary Army because of this incident or against our Great Jing Dynasty?"
"No. From what I gathered during their conversation outside the Suburbs of the Capital, Black General doesn't seem to hold a grudge against the Northern Expeditionary Army. After all, aside from Zhou Yunjin and Su Mengmeng, others were unaware that they were pursuing Black General. As they say, ignorance is no crime. In fact, Black General even invited the Warriors for drinks afterward."
"Then is there still a chance for Black General to continue fighting for our dynasty?"
She was already Miss Sang's Spirit Familiar.
Qin Mu Hui slammed the table in frustration, feeling that things were going awry. Without the Black General, the Great Jing Dynasty had lost a key general! Zhou Yunjin's actions had disrupted our military control arrangements!
"Your Majesty need not be angry. The Court is not without strategists; we can simply transfer someone from another region," a voice suggested.
"That will still take time to adjust," Qin Mu Hui replied.
