Chu Yiren's honesty gave Chen Shan a completely new understanding of his wife.

She was the prime minister's illegitimate daughter, and also a tool used by the prime minister to manipulate power.

Such a crucial link has now become his wife. If this were to be exposed in the capital, one can imagine that he would definitely become the prime minister's enemy!

Chen Shan finally understood why Chu Yiren, who was usually so clever and witty like a little Zhuge Liang, also harbored secrets.

Revealing this identity too early would certainly not be beneficial for Chen Shan.

"My lady, you are the prime minister's daughter. Could it be that someone in your family is plotting against you? Hasn't the prime minister come looking for you?"

Chen Shan was somewhat curious.

That's the prime minister.

He was the head of the civil officials in the Xia state and could be considered the absolute leader of Confucianism in the Xia state.

The fact that a civil official in the Xia state was given military power was most likely the work of the prime minister!

"He must have looked for it, but his family situation is complicated, so it wasn't that easy."

"My lord, if you go to the capital in the future, I'm afraid I..."

At this point, Chu Yiren lowered her eyes, unsure of what to say next.

Seeing this, Chen Shan chuckled and reached out to pinch Chu Yiren's cheek.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're my wife, how could I abandon you?"

"If you were satisfied with your father's arrangements, you wouldn't have been framed and left without any resistance."

"With me here, no one can make things difficult for you."

Chen Shan's words were so straightforward that they left Chu Yiren stunned.

She knew Chen Shan's capabilities, that he was talented and had a promising future.

That's precisely why she's even more worried, and why she feels even more pressure.

She didn't want to burden Chen Shan with her own affairs.

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it. I didn't go to the capital for promotion or titles. Besides, with the Southern Slaughter King around, even if I'm exposed now, no one will dare to do anything."

Chen Shan grinned. Being able to get involved with the Southern Slaughter King was a pretty good step for him.

At least in the capital, they wouldn't be without a place to stay.

If we can take down Nan Tu Rou, the situation will only get better.

"King of the Southern Slaughter...you probably have your eye on Nan Tu Rou."

Chu Yiren's first words immediately made Chen Shan feel awkward.

"Ahem, do you think I, your husband, am the kind of person who gets lustful at first sight?"

Chen Shan looked very serious, while Chu Yiren couldn't help but laugh.

Despite the jokes, Chen Shan's attitude reassured Chu Yiren even more.

Chen Shan wasn't just talking; he was actually doing it.

They constantly went to the battlefield to fight, risking their lives to earn military merits and continuously improve their skills.

Perhaps, as Chen Shan said, things would be different if we went to the capital.

[Chu Yiren's favorability +5]

[Chu Yiren's Favorability: 100 (Unwavering Loyalty)]

[Chu Yiren's favorability has reached 100%, host receives a big gift pack!]

The system notification sounded, and Chen Shan was startled. He hadn't expected that Chu Yiren's favorability rating would increase so much after she opened up.

But it's all good, Chen Shan is really looking forward to this big gift package.

Now that we are about to conquer the Northern Yanshan Mountains, we are worried about not having a suitable method. We just don't know what the big gift package will contain.

"My lord, if you need anything for this campaign, I might be able to help you contact that master craftsman."

Chu Yiren's words immediately made Chen Shan temporarily abandon his idea of ​​checking the gift package.

"That master craftsman from the Mo Kingdom? Yiren, do you know him?"

Chen Shan was curious.

As the prime minister's illegitimate daughter, Chu Yiren was indeed highly regarded by the prime minister, who used her as a tool to consolidate power through marriage. The prime minister must have put a lot of thought into it.

He not only knew great Confucian scholars like Xu Sijing, but also master craftsmen from the Mo Kingdom.

"I've had contact with them before, and I actually envy them quite a bit, whether it's Mr. Xu or her, at least they can do what they want to do."

Chu Yiren was like a caged bird, with nothing she could do on her own.

"It's okay, you can do whatever you want from now on."

"However, even if this master craftsman comes, he won't tell us about the city's design, will he?"

"Mexico, they seem to be very conservative and stick to their old ways. Would they really be willing to help us?"

Although Chen Shan didn't know much about the Mo Kingdom, he guessed that there were also Hundred Schools of Thought among the seven kingdoms, and the Mo Kingdom corresponded to the Mo School.

The Mohists primarily support the weak and maintain balance. Adhering to established rules, they would never help the side that initiates war.

"Well... I can't say for sure, what if?"

Chu Yiren wasn't very confident about this, since she had never tried anything like it before.

"Forget it, let's not bother. They might turn around and investigate us instead, which would be a loss for us."

Chen Shan wouldn't take any risks if he wasn't sure of the other party's stance.

"Yiren, you go back and rest first. I'll go and make arrangements for the soldiers."

Chen Shan didn't continue the conversation; he was already quite impatient and wanted to see what the big gift package contained.

Back to the barracks.

Chen Shan immediately opened the gift package!

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired 800 elite soldiers! They have been automatically deployed!]

"Dig a hole?"

"I knew the gift package they gave Red Hare last time was something special, but I didn't expect them to give it to the Trapped Camp directly."

Chen Shan's eyes burned with determination. This elite battalion was a fierce and fearless force, their resolve to fight to the death.

He is an absolute fierce general who charges into battle!

The system's automatic allocation allows these elite troops to be brought under Chen Shan's command in a reasonable manner.

"Chen Shan, someone from outside the city has come to visit, saying they've come to seek refuge with you."

Just as Chen Shan was pondering how the system would be delivered, Xiao Zhen's voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shan hurriedly went out.

"Looking for me? Come on, let's go see."

Chen Shan roughly guessed that the system was behind it, and immediately led Xiao Zhen toward the gate of Mochi City.

At the city gate.

Outside the city, eight hundred soldiers, armed with swords and shields, were all clad in blue armor and wearing beast masks, demonstrating their excellent weaponry!

Moreover, the chilling aura emanating from each of them was exceptionally astonishing, and could be felt even from a distance.

The leading general was extraordinary, exuding a fierce aura, with his eyes seemingly gleaming with bloodlust!

And this man was Gao Shun, a general of the Trapped Camp!

As Chen Shan stepped out, Gao Shun immediately led eight hundred soldiers to pay their respects.

"This humble general, Gao Shun, along with the elite troops of the Vanguard Camp, pays his respects to our lord!"

The sound rang out, drawing the attention of the soldiers stationed in Mochi City.

Xiao Zhen was even more surprised. He never expected that someone would come to seek refuge with him.

What's even more puzzling is that this army looks absolutely elite. When did such an army appear in the Xia Kingdom?

"Very good, Gao Shun, bring your men and come with me into the city."

Chen Shan looked at the Trapped Camp and felt a surge of joy.

Don't underestimate the power of just eight hundred soldiers; these eight hundred elite troops are quite formidable.

The special forces soldiers he trained in his deficit camp were no match for these elite troops!

"Chen Shan, what's the situation with this Trapped Camp? Do you know them before?"

Xiao Zhen looked curious, and Chen Shan casually replied, "Well, I met him when I was a hunter. We got along well, and I happen to have the authority to recruit soldiers, so this comes in handy."
