In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

"Xiaoya, I will seek justice for your father. They were persecuted by the gentry of Yangzhou. When I have the opportunity to go to Yangzhou, I will deal with them."

Seeing Wang Xiaoya's reddened eyes, Chen Shan raised his hand and pinched Wang Xiaoya's cheek, gently comforting her.

"Husband... I... I actually think this is enough, at least Father is still alive."

"It's best to avoid provoking those aristocratic gentlemen; I don't want my husband to..."

Before Wang Xiaoya could finish speaking, Chen Shan interrupted her.

"You can't talk nonsense like that anymore."

"I have an inescapable responsibility for your affairs."

"You just live your good lives, do what you want, make our family bigger, and give me a few children soon, that's all."

"As for the rest, I will handle it."

Chen Shan spoke in a serious tone, and when he mentioned having children, the women blushed.

They had been following Chen Shan for quite some time, and had participated in the activities every single time, but there had been no progress.

The girls didn't usually say anything, but they were secretly thinking about it.

Liu Ruyu, in particular, cared deeply about continuing the Chen family line.

"My lord, we can't accomplish this on our own."

Mo Yiyao joked, while Chen Shan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"That's true, why don't you all come at me together tonight?"

"I'll try skimming the surface; maybe it'll work. After all, mimicking the laws of nature might be effective!"

Upon hearing Chen Shan's words, the others immediately blushed.

Xiao Ningning blushed and said irritably, "Husband, a quick peck is very short. You're not planning to just shiver over the few of us, are you?"

"No way, no way? Husband, are you already past your prime?"

Xiao Ningning made a joke, which made the others chuckle.

Chen Shan rolled his eyes: "So, you dare to make fun of me?"

"I'm going to drag you into this tonight for a pile driving session!"

Chen Shan pretended to be fierce, pinched Xiao Ningning's cheek, and slapped her cheek with one hand, making Xiao Ningning blush.

After a period of playful banter, Liu Ruyu began preparing dinner.

In the outer city, Chen Shan's family lived a peaceful life.

However, news of what happened at the Five Military Commands had already reached the imperial court.

The imperial city, the imperial palace.

The Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, Chen Shan is indeed a remarkable person. The Prince's judgment is correct. If this man can enter the court, he will be of great use."

"Moreover, this person doesn't seem to care about status or power, so we can make good use of him."

Inside the imperial study, a woman dressed in a dragon robe, with graceful bearing and stunning beauty, stood dignified and majestic—none other than the current emperor!

The person reporting to her was none other than the Third Prince, Huang Song!

The prince, who appeared unambitious to outsiders, was actually displaying remarkable shrewdness at this moment.

Hearing Huangfu Song's words, the Empress seemed to be deep in thought.

"Uncle Wang's judgment is certainly not wrong, but the situation in the court is constantly changing, and even Uncle Wang can't do anything about it, so what difference will one more person make?"

The empress sighed. As emperor, she was constantly hampered by her courtiers and powerless to exercise her power.

She even had to make concessions on many things, which made her daughter feel powerless.

"Sister, Uncle has no choice, but let's give it a try. What if that guy can do it?"

"Anyway, all we need to do is create chaos in the imperial court; as for other issues, there's no need to worry."

"After so many years of preparation, can't we even win over a prime minister?"

Huangfu Song spoke with a sense of excitement.

"You think it's too easy. You should have been the emperor in the first place, but you insisted on pushing it onto me."

"Let's follow Uncle Wang's arrangements for now. We'll see if it works. We still can't confirm the identity of the person who conspired with him."

"You also need to be careful."

Listening to the Empress's nagging, Huangfu Song kept waving his hands: "Sister, you are my own sister, you have known what kind of person I am since we were little."

"Since this person is involved anyway, let's give it a try."

The two had already discussed and agreed on some important matters in their conversation.

The political situation in the capital of the Xia Kingdom also became unpredictable.

Huangfu Song had just delivered the message when Kong Qingque had already spoken to the Kong family about it beforehand.

It was then passed down through the Kong family to prime ministers and other officials.

Both sides are discussing the matter and have come up with their own solutions.

In the following days, Chen Shan went to the Five Military Governor's Mansion every day, just like he clocked in for work in his previous life.

It wasn't about discussing military strategy; it was about discussing various military affairs, such as military ranks and systems, recruitment, and so on.

Chen Shan wasn't really interested in participating, but since the Southern King had asked him to do something, he had no choice but to share his thoughts and opinions.

This greatly surprised Qingque.

They were very curious about Chen Shan's abilities.

Leaving the Governor's Mansion for another day, Chen Shan stretched his body. It had been a few days since he had gone to work, but he had regained his old feeling.

I almost considered giving up.

"General Chen, please wait."

Chen Shan had just stepped out of the Governor's Mansion when Qing Que called out to him from behind.

"Hmm? Is something the matter, Miss Kong?"

Chen Shan turned his head and looked at the eldest daughter of the Kong family.

After a few days of getting to know her, Chen Shan realized that this woman was indeed intelligent and skilled in military matters.

Although he lacked the battlefield experience of Nan Tu Rou and mostly relied on theoretical knowledge, his expertise in this area was quite remarkable.

Moreover, her talent is indeed remarkable. Although she cannot compare with Xu Sijing, who specializes in literature, she is definitely an outstanding person.

"General Chen, I've heard a lot from you these past few days. General Chen's talent is truly admirable."

"I would like to invite General Chen to a simple meal today."

"There is also someone who wants to get to know General Chen."

Kong Qingque's words were direct, but it was obvious to everyone that she had ulterior motives.

Chen Shan raised an eyebrow, showing no fear.

He now possesses the combined strength of nine bulls and two tigers, plus the power of six stones, and has long since reached the level of innate divine strength.

In this capital city, no one can rival him.

Even if the opponent resorts to underhanded tactics, Chen Shan can overcome them with sheer force.

In any case, the situation in the capital is not important to him.

If you can't achieve your goal, then just flip the table!

Chen Shan is capable of doing that.

"Oh? That's rare. I'm just a junior general, yet so many people are interested in me."

"That's not easy. Since you've invited me, I'd be impolite to refuse."

Chen Shan did not refuse. Since the other party had already extended an invitation, there was no need to avoid him. The purpose of his being arranged to come here was to cause trouble.

The wolf had feigned sleep, luring the enemy deep into its territory, but Chen Shan chose to go alone.

"please."

Kong Qingque smiled and led the way. Over the past few days, she had indeed developed a good impression of Chen Shan, or rather, admired him.

In Chen Shan's case, the favorability rating was raised to 40.

Chen Shan wouldn't refuse just for the sake of goodwill, and he also wanted to know who wanted to see him.
