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

Chen Shan's reaction made Nan Tu Rou uncomfortable, but she couldn't find a reason to refute him.

The Xia Kingdom's court does indeed have many problems, and no matter how much Nan Tu Rou tries to protect the current emperor, it has no effect.

The territory that had been painstakingly recovered, a vital frontier region, was handed over so easily.

Even if you win a battle, you still have to cede territory and pay reparations. In such a situation, anyone would be dissatisfied.

Not to mention Chen Shan.

Deficit Camp.

"Chen Shan, the court's decisions are indeed problematic, and the emperor is also problematic, but it's best not to say such things in the future."

"We're just soldiers; there's nothing we can do about this."

"If we anger the Southern Slaughter King's Mansion because of this, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain."

Xiao Zhen caught up with Chen Shan and immediately began to earnestly persuade him.

After hearing these words, Chen Shan was somewhat puzzled.

"Brother Xiao, isn't this King Nan Tu a king of a different surname? How come he has such a good relationship with the emperor?"

"I see that Nan Tu Rou is also defending him in every way. Every time the emperor is mentioned as a useless person, she defends him like a brainless fan."

"Shouldn't kings of different surnames be a thorn in the emperor's side?"

Chen Shan was quite puzzled.

If Xiao Ningning's matter hadn't been left unresolved, Wang Xiaoya and Chu Yiren would also still be in trouble.

He had absolutely no interest in a court with such a terrible reputation.

Seeing Chen Shan's curiosity, Xiao Zhen pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, I don't know the specifics either."

"Even before, I had never seen the emperor, nor had I ever seen a young lady."

"However, I have heard some rumors."

Upon hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Chen Shan also became curious.

"Rumors? What? Is there some strange rumor about the emperor?"

Xiao Zhen's eyes were thoughtful, somewhat unfocused.

"It is said that the current emperor is not a man, and her throne is not secure. The princes in the royal family are the emperor's siblings."

"Of course, this is just what I've heard; I don't know the specifics. I guess General Nan Tu knows."

As soon as Xiao Zhen said this, Chen Shan frowned.

Good heavens, the emperor was a woman?

What? Wu Zetian?

This was truly unexpected for Chen Shan.

"Whatever, there's no need to risk my life anymore, it's pointless."

"I'm on leave now. Please take good care of me in the barracks, Brother Xiao."

Chen Shan didn't bother to argue; the political situation in the Xia Kingdom was too complicated.

He didn't care about that. Anyway, he had already reached the rank of junior general. If he could find some opportunities and make some contributions, he could be promoted again.

Once he resolves the problems with the women in his family, Chen Shan will be able to relax.

Anyway, his real purpose was to develop his family.

Now that you have a woman and a family, you also need to take care of other aspects.

Barracks.

Chen Shan directly entrusted Xiao Zhen with the task of bestowing rewards and honors from the imperial court.

He returned to his room feeling relaxed.

"Husband, how was the harvest this time? Did you get a promotion?"

As Chen Shan approached, Xiao Ningning curiously stepped forward as well.

Along the way, Chen Shan's promotion was very fast. In just one year, he reached such a height, which is absolutely unique in Xia Kingdom!

"Yes, young general, it won't be easy to get promoted again in the future."

"Besides, this imperial court is pretty useless. Do you think I should just rebel?"

"This way, we can take the lead into the capital and avenge the Xiao family army."

Chen Shan spoke with great seriousness, which stunned Xiao Ningning.

The other girls were also completely bewildered.

Clearly, no one expected that Chen Shan, who had been perfectly fine before, would suddenly have such an idea.

"My lord, I'm afraid this won't work."

"The Xiao family army was already dealt with on charges of treason and collusion with the enemy. If you rebel to seek revenge, wouldn't that just confirm the charges?"

"Moreover, if such a large-scale rebellion were to occur in the Xia Kingdom, the other kingdoms would not stand idly by."

Chu Yiren quickly spoke up, clearly understanding the situation perfectly.

Hearing Chu Yiren say this, Chen Shan felt quite helpless.

"My lord, has the court made a decision that you dislike?"

Chu Yiren noticed Chen Shan's troubles and immediately asked him about them.

Chen Shan didn't hide anything and immediately told him what had happened.

When they learned that Beiyanshan was not only to be returned to the Qing Dynasty, but also to be compensated, the women's faces showed shock and anger.

In contrast, Mo Yiyao remained completely calm.

"What's so strange about that? Ever since the reforms in Xia Kingdom, with the change of emperor and the disappearance of the Xiao family army, it has always been like this."

"Although Xia is considered wealthy among the seven kingdoms, it is indeed very weak in the current situation of the seven kingdoms."

Mo Yiyao spoke frankly, leaving the other women silent.

After all, that's the truth.

The Tiannan Army today appears to be composed of several legions, but in reality, each legion has its own agenda.

They're not on the same page at all.

The military generals and civil officials were at odds, and the civil officials interfered too much, so the military generals and civil officials no longer had the strength they used to have.

"That's why I'm worried. I have no interest in serving a useless emperor."

"Since we're taking a break now, I'm planning to find a place to settle down. That way, we can start developing our business."

Chen Shan pondered for a moment and then shared his plans.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yiyao's eyes immediately darted around.

"Um, how about we go to Mexico?"

"Anyway, Mexico is relatively more relaxed."

Upon hearing Mo Yiyao's words, Chen Shan immediately glanced at her and said, "You little rascal, wasn't that your original intention?"

"Hehe, of course not."

"I've already said I'm leaving Mexico, so I have no interest in considering their opinions. It's up to you guys."

Mo Yiyao shrugged.

Since she has decided to marry Chen Shan, she will naturally prioritize Chen Shan's interests.

"We'll see."

"You should also get ready and see where it would be suitable to go, or if there's anywhere you'd like to go."

"The faction will go with us, so there's no need to worry about safety."

As Chen Shan's personal army, the Trapped Camp cannot be commanded by others.

Therefore, Chen Shan would inevitably have to bring the Trapped Camp.

"How about... we go to the capital? After all, it's not far."

Chu Yiren pondered for a moment before finally speaking.

For them, the capital city was a place of some concern and danger.

"Once we're in the capital, we won't need to go out as often, and my husband will have more opportunities to learn more about the city."

Seeing that Chu Yiren said this, the others had no objections, and Chen Shan immediately nodded.

"Alright, I'd like to see what's going on with this imperial court too."

"But I need to think about it. I'll ask Nan Tu Rou about it later."

Chen Shan made up his mind that the path of rebellion was not feasible and there was no need to consider it anymore.

Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to find another way; he had to keep his promise to them.

Chen Shan will not let them down.

"I will do whatever my husband says."
