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

Chen Shan wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat down and even leisurely sipped his tea.

This gesture left the Right Attendant and the others somewhat bewildered, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only turn their gaze to Huangfu Yueling.

"You may leave now."

Huangfu Yueling spoke, and this time she did not lower her voice; her voice was light and clear.

The three bowed respectfully before leaving the hall.

Chen Shan was also surprised to see this.

This woman's status seems to be higher than expected.

I just don't know how much influence she carries in the capital.

"It seems Miss Huangfu has quite a background. Several officials from the Ministry of War have to bow and scrape before you."

Chen Shan asked slowly and deliberately.

Huangfu Yueling went straight up and sat down opposite Chen Shan.

"General Chen is a straightforward and outspoken man, truly worthy of being a soldier who grew up on the frontier."

"I am Huangfu Yueling. Huangfu is the imperial surname."

Huangfu Yueling's two simple sentences revealed her noble status.

What kind of person could someone be with the surname Guo?

He must be a member of the royal family!

"Are you a princess?"

Chen Shan looked him up and down, never expecting that the first person to approach him would be the princess.

This seems like a rather large leap.

After all, Chen Shan was only a junior general, and there were many military officers with such a position in the Xia Kingdom, especially in the capital.

There are dozens of soldiers in the city defense force responsible for the city's defense.

He was truly surprised that the princess would come to him directly.

"That's right, I am the ninth princess of the Xia Kingdom, and can be considered the current emperor's sister."

"General Chen, now that I have been frank, what are your thoughts on what I said earlier?"

As Huangfu Yueling spoke, her beautiful eyes fell on Chen Shan, as if waiting for his reply.

Huangfu Yueling hadn't expected Chen Shan to be so clever, nor had she expected him to be so bold.

Not only did she show no humility towards the people from the Ministry of War, but even after learning that she was a princess, she did not stand up to pay her respects, nor did she show any fear or awe.

He is extraordinary.

Chen Shan sipped his tea slowly, his eyes scanning the area up and down.

"Ninth Princess, what do you want by coming to the Ministry of War to demand someone, a princess like yourself?"

"Judging from your appearance, you even know how to dress as a man, so you don't seem like a fool."

"Besides, you should know my background. Who are you targeting by coming after me? The King of Southern Slaughter? Or the Emperor?"

Chen Shan remained direct.

He gave a brief overview in just a few words.

This caused a ripple to appear on Huangfu Yueling's originally calm face.

She hadn't expected Chen Shan to see things so clearly.

It really surprised her.

"You really are a surprise."

"However, I will not tell you my purpose for now. I do need someone to serve as the commander of my residence. General Chen, are you interested?"

Even though Chen Shan's intelligence surprised Huangfu Yueling, she remained quite composed.

And their considerations were quite straightforward. After all, the purpose of this visit was to win them over, so there was no need to say more.

"No interest. I'm here for a break, and besides, you don't seem to be of any value."

"Well, she just has a very curvaceous figure."

Chen Shan stroked his chin, scrutinizing her, and his words made Huangfu Yueling's heart skip a beat.

This guy! He's really bold!

She was a princess, and his words were clearly flirting with her! How dare he do that?

"You...you don't know I'm a princess!"

"What you just said is enough to kill you, you good-for-nothing!"

Huangfu Yueling looked somewhat displeased; Chen Shan's audacity had exceeded her expectations.

But when she thought about the other party's achievements and abilities in the army, Huangfu Yueling felt conflicted.

Winning over someone like that would only benefit her!

But if they become enemies, that would be troublesome.

"So what?"

"Even if you are the emperor, it makes no difference to me. Although I am a young general, everything I have achieved is earned by myself. I don't owe the royal family anything."

Chen Shan stood up, his face calm.

This is indeed the feudal era, but it is they who are feudal, what does it have to do with me?

The only thing Chen Shan liked about this era was that he could have multiple wives.

That's the only advantage.

"you!"

"Chen Shan! I came here personally to win you over, yet you are so ungrateful. Could it be that you have already pledged allegiance to the Southern Slaughter King?"

Seeing Chen Shan's arrogant attitude, Huangfu Yueling stood up in anger.

The angry stomping of his feet caused his chest to ripple, which was quite captivating.

Chen Shan looked at the other person, a smile playing on his lips: "The Ninth Princess and I have just met, and she came all this way specifically for me. You wouldn't happen to like me, would you?"

"However, I have quite a few beautiful wives at home. If Ninth Master doesn't mind, it's not impossible for him to marry down."

"As for what you call serving others, I only serve myself."

Chen Shan joked as he walked outside.

Actually, what he said wasn't wrong.

Because Chen Shan and Nan Tu Wang had a cooperative relationship.

Given Chen Shan's personality, it's impossible for him to actually become someone's henchman.

The imperial court rewards those who have rendered meritorious service, and in return, they are sent to fight wars. This is a transaction, or you could say they are working for someone else.

As for the concept of hierarchy?

Chen Shan didn't care much; as long as his fist was bigger, that was enough.

Upon hearing Chen Shan's words, Huangfu Yueling's face flushed red, and she glared fiercely at Chen Shan, but she couldn't utter a word.

In all these years, Chen Shan is the first person who has ever dared to speak to her like this!

Not only that, but he also teased me repeatedly!

Absolutely despicable!

"You, you just wait!"

Huangfu Yueling watched Chen Shan leave with a huff, and could only helplessly utter some harsh words.

Unfortunately, Chen Shan didn't even respond.

Outside the Ministry of War.

Chen Shan looked relaxed; this trip hadn't been a complete waste.

Chen Shan's intuition told him that Huangfu Yueling definitely had some kind of unspeakable secret.

There are indeed many things hidden in this vast capital city.

"grown ups!"

"Someone just came to deliver a message."

As soon as Chen Shan came out, the soldiers who had been sent into battle stepped forward.

"Send a message? Go ahead."

"The visitor claimed to be from the Kong family and a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, saying he wanted to invite you, sir, to come over."

Hearing this, Chen Shan raised an eyebrow.

The Kong family? The Kong Qingzhi family?

However, they did not know the real reason for Kong Qingzhi's death.

The fact that they're inviting me at this time probably means they have other plans.

"No, I'm not interested."

Chen Shan waved his hand, preparing to lead them back, when unexpectedly a beautiful figure walked over from the front.

She wore a dark red dress, as vibrant as blood, and her figure was tall and curvaceous.

However, her gait was more like that of a dragon or a tiger, lacking the reserved and demure manner of a woman.

"Chen Shan, come with me."

The person who came was none other than Nan Tu Rou, who had removed his armor.

It must be said that she looks very beautiful and unique in her new outfit.

"I was really popular today."

"General, shouldn't I address you as Princess here?"
