"When are we leaving" Li Chen asked.

"The last general intends to prepare for a day today and set off tomorrow." Su Pingbei replied.

Li Chen nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you go down to prepare. You don't have to stay by my side. I have Wu Qingcang here, so I don't need you to wait on me. Make sure you are well prepared, it's always good."

Su Pingbei let out an "en" and was about to turn away when, as if remembering something, he turned back and said, "Your Highness, this humble servant has one more request."

"Just get to the point, don't beat around the bush." Li Chen frowned.

Su Pingbei scratched his head and said, "Before we depart, your Highness could come and give our brothers a pep talk. If they knew that your Highness personally saw them off, their morale would undoubtedly skyrocket."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen did not refuse.

He nodded and said, "Alright, when you are ready, have someone inform this palace, and I will definitely come."

Su Ping smiled, gave Li Chen a bow, and then turned and walked away.

After Su Ping left, Li Chen simply didn't go back to the carriage.

He instructed the convoy to follow at a distance, while he and Wu Qingsang set off on foot towards Yuéyáguān.

Wu Qingscang rode on horseback, following behind Li Chen. He was about a body length behind him.

Wu Qingcang didn't speak, just waited for Li Chen to speak first.

"You asked Su Ping to go north to carry out this mission. It's not a good thing for you," Li Chen said without making Wu Qingcang wait long, walking ahead with his hands behind his back and speaking calmly in the breeze.

Wu Qingcang raised an eyebrow slightly and replied, "Judging from the current situation, General Su is indeed the most suitable candidate. He..."

Li Chen raised a hand, interrupting Wu Qingcang's words, and said, "In terms of military strategy, you are indeed a better choice than I am. This area is your strength, and I won't question your command."

But politically, if you ask Su Pingbei to do this, it will cause you a lot of trouble.

"Your Highness, are you referring to General Su," Wu Qingcang pointed towards the direction of the capital city and asked.

Chuckling lightly, Li Chen said, "Su Zhen'ting is not such a petty and overprotective person. He probably wouldn't mind."

Even if Su Pingbei died on the battlefield, it would be Su Pingbei's own fate. Su Zhen'ting still has that awareness.

"But the problem is..."

"At this point, Li Chen stopped and turned to face Wu Qingcang, saying: 'Did Su Pingbei choose to go of his own free will, or was he coerced by someone The nature and meaning are completely different. You should be clear on this.'"

Faced with Li Chen's gaze, which seemed to pierce through his very soul, Wu Qingshang instinctively turned his head away, unable to meet Li Chen's eyes.

After a pause, and with a slight adjustment to his wording, Wu Qingscang insisted: "As the commander of Yueya Pass at present, any choice I make, any order I issue, is for the purpose of winning this battle. There are no other ulterior motives."

"This palace didn't say you had any ulterior motives."

Li Chen's gaze and tone softened. He turned back to continue walking forward, saying: "But people's hearts are hidden in their bellies. This palace understands, and Su Zhen Ting also understands, but others won't necessarily understand."

If it were an ordinary situation, that would be fine. But if someone emerged within the military who could rival Su Zhen Ting in power, then those around Su Zhen Ting would naturally band together to oppose this person. After all, there is only one share of power. If it is taken by one person, the rest have much less left. of energy, and even a true immortal wouldn't be able to save him."Closing the book, Gong Huiyu continued, “Even among Earth Immortals, there are levels of strength.
