Princess Anfu saw his expression and quickly said, "Is there something wrong? Sixth Brother is also anxious to make a contribution. None of my brothers are easy to deal with. They are all eyeing the position of Crown Prince. Sixth Brother also wants to make a contribution as soon as possible. "
Chu Li slowly nodded.
Princess Anfu said, "He is already successful in political affairs and has gained the recognition of the Chancellors. However, he still lacks some experience in military affairs and has not gained the support of the Chancellors. That's why he wants to complete it this time."
Chu Li said, "What does the Emperor think?"
"My Imperial Father thinks that with the cooperation of the two countries this time, we will have a ninety percent chance of defeating Da Ning, so he did not object," Princess Anfu said.
Chu Li shook his head.
Princess Anfu said, "Is there any change? I'll go to Sixth Brother's side. At least I can protect his life. "
She was getting stronger and more confident. Even if there were thousands of troops, she could come and go as she pleased.
Chu Li said, "I'll go myself."
"Master, you can't do it." Princess Anfu shook her head and said, "Now they are all trying to impeach you. If you really go to the battlefield, they will go crazy and stop you at all costs."
Chu Li smiled, "Let the Emperor think about it."
"Will Imperial Father agree?" Princess Anfu tilted her head and looked at him.
Chu Li said, "Then let His Majesty decide."
—
"Let me decide?" Zhao Yancheng paced in front of the throne with his hands behind his back.
He walked a few steps up the stairs, then went down the stairs and wandered around the basilica.
Gu Yuanhe stood at the side with his hands by his side as if he was invisible.
Princess Anfu nodded and said, "Imperial Father, Master said that Sixth Brother will be in danger. Otherwise, Master would not personally go and ignore the opposition and hostility of the Chancellors."
"Sigh …" Zhao Yancheng sighed and said, "Then he did not say anything else?"
"No," Princess Anfu said, "He only said it was not appropriate. Then he said he would personally follow Sixth Brother."
Zhao Yancheng continued to pace.
Princess Anfu said, "If Master wants to follow, then let him. He won't harm us. As for the Chancellors, they have nothing better to do. They don't care about so many important matters and they just want to make things difficult for Master!"
"In their eyes, chasing Master away is the most important thing." Zhao Yancheng sneered.
"Could it be that Imperial Father is indulging them like this?" Princess Anfu said discontentedly, "If this continues, Master's reputation will really be finished!"
Everyone's mouth could melt gold. If they kept slandering him like this and did not refute, the world would take it seriously. The name of the demonic monk would spread and the good people would also become bad people. Master only had one mouth, so no matter what, he would not be able to clear his name.
Zhao Yancheng said, "Let them jump around a bit more happily."
Princess An Fu snorted, "Then does Imperial Father agree or not?"
"… Let the master follow us in secret," Zhao Yancheng stopped and said slowly.
Princess Anfu asked in surprise, "Why are you following us in the dark?"
Zhao Yancheng said, "Don't let your sixth brother know."
Princess Anfu frowned, "Are you afraid that Master will get involved in this matter?"
"This is good for everyone," Zhao Yancheng said.
Even though he was grateful to Chu Li and valued him, he wouldn't let Chu Li affect the imperial power of Dayu because of this. Because Chu Li was too powerful and influential, he had to be careful.
He had built the Ruyi Temple for this reason. It was close to the Imperial Palace while maintaining its independence.
Princess Anfu frowned and shook her head. She disapproved, but did not refute.
"I'll ask Master," Princess Anfu said.
"The master will agree," Zhao Yancheng said, "You can follow your sixth brother and broaden your knowledge."
"Okay," Princess Anfu nodded excitedly.
She had always been curious about the matter of the battle formation. Finally, she had the chance to see it.
Back at the Ruyi Temple, she told Chu Li about Zhao Yancheng's words. Chu Li agreed. This was the best way to accumulate more merits and less karma. The best way to accumulate merits was to fight in the battle formation.
On the morning of the third day, Princess Anfu and her group of nine left the capital and headed for the border between Dayu and Kun. It would take them ten days to reach there.
On the evening of the second day, under the setting sun, a knight caught up with them and presented a golden box sealed with wax to Zhao Zhengli. Then, he fell to the ground and fainted.
Zhao Zhengli took the golden box, removed the wax seal, and opened it. There was a letter and an imperial edict inside. He took out the letter and read it. His face darkened and he passed it to Princess Anfu beside him.
Princess Anfu quickly scanned it and passed it to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was heroic and full of killing intent. He glanced at the letter and snorted, "Great Shuo!"
Princess Anfu said, "Sixth brother, what does the imperial edict say?"
"Take charge of the Southwest Barracks!" Zhao Zhengli said helplessly, "We can't go to Kun. Little sister, we have to speed up. There is no leader there. The later we go, the more dangerous it will be."
Princess Anfu snorted, "Did someone leak the news? They intercepted us one step ahead and broke the alliance with Kun. What a good move! "
"It should be Ning Wan," Zhao Zhengli said, "He acts ruthlessly and is inextricably linked to Great Shuo."
"Your Highness, we have to be careful." The middle-aged man handed the letter back and said, "With Ning Wan's methods, I'm afraid he will intercept Your Highness. The Southwest Barracks is in danger!"
"Little sister is here!" Zhao Zhengli said.
He had full confidence in Princess Anfu. No matter how strong the interception was, they could break through.
"Then let's go quickly," Princess Anfu said.
They turned their horses around and changed from east to west, heading straight for the Southwest Barracks. They rode for three days in one go. Along the way, there were constantly riders coming to meet them and deliver the latest news.
The Southwest Great General had been assassinated, and the Southwest Barracks was leaderless. The marshals were not convinced, and it was difficult to work together. No one could deploy the troops, so they could only defend their positions and passively take a beating.
Without the Great General's orders, the armies could not move. The entire Southwest Barracks was in danger and could be defeated by the allied forces of Great Shuo and Great Ning at any time.
The nine of them were racing against time, trying to rush to the Southwest Barracks before they were defeated. Using the title of Crown Prince and the imperial edict, he was already the Southwest Great General and could use the seal to mobilize troops.
But the longer they arrived, the more the situation worsened. Even if they could mobilize troops, they were afraid that even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice.
In the evening, they were bathed in the sunset glow and galloped without the slightest thought of stopping. Even though the eight of them were tired and ashen-faced, only Princess Anfu was still full of energy. The dust on her face could not hide her spirit.
Finally, at midnight, they stopped. The moonlight was like water, and the surroundings seemed to be covered in snow.
Princess Anfu burrowed into a forest and called out softly, "Master! Master! "
Chu Li appeared in front of her without a sound.
"Master!" Princess Anfu went forward and said in a low voice, "Help Sixth Brother quickly go to the Southwest Barracks. If you're a step late, I'm afraid the Southwest Barracks will be completely finished. The entire Southwest defense line will be broken, and I don't know how many innocent people will die!"
Chu Li pondered.
Princess Anfu said, "It's not that Father doesn't want to send someone else, but the Southwest Barracks has always been arrogant. They have always been killing each other and only obey the Great General. Once the Great General dies, only Father can suppress them. Father can't personally lead the army, so we can only let Sixth Brother try. If this continues, I'm afraid that Sixth Brother will be powerless to turn the situation around!"
"… Alright." Chu Li slowly nodded. "I'll bring you there immediately."
Princess Anfu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master!"
