Lin Kai remained silent.

A princess sent to marry a foreign ruler, and a eunuch carrying the imperial decree, traveled from the capital, thousands of miles away, passing through the territories of two military governors, and all went unharmed...

Lin Kai had previously doubted what kind of powerful figure this Emperor of Dali was.

Looking at it now, I realize that I, the military governor, was no different!

His expression shifted several times.

"Then let's go quickly."

Lin Kai waved his hand, then squeezed his legs together slightly.

...

Upon seeing the Thirteenth Princess, Lin Kai admitted one thing.

The royal family has such good genes; this thirteenth princess named Li Yuanqing looks like a potential femme fatale.

That alluring figure, that youthful face and enormous breasts, that noble air…

With such a pretty face, she must cry very loudly, right?

Lin Kai was a little conflicted.

Ultimately, deciding whether to eliminate the princess directly for the system reward, or to first use the princess to control the emperor and then eliminate her when she becomes worthless, is a difficult choice.

Lin Kai, still conflicted, was pondering.

"Is this the young general Father Emperor spoke of?"

Li Yuanqing also stared wide-eyed, her gaze sweeping over Lin Kai.

Why is he different from the other generals?

Why doesn't he wear rouge or powder on his face? Why is his armor dark red instead of bright silver?

And when he cupped his hands to me, he didn't use the delicate pinky gesture... How strange...

Just as the two were staring at each other, each lost in thought, they realized what was going on.

"General Lin, receive the imperial decree!"

A high-pitched, hoarse voice rang out from the side.

Hearing the voice, Lin Kai, snapping out of his daze, turned around.

Looking at the eunuch in the python robe in his line of sight, and watching the eunuch take out the imperial edict from his robes, Lin Kai's lips twitched.

After glancing at Li Yuanqing.

"Your Majesty, I obey..."

With a sigh, Lin Kai knelt on one knee and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Well, let's see how it goes. After all, this world is a bit strange. What if it's not what I think it is?

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: General Lin Kai, as..."

As the imperial edict was unfurled, the eunuch's expression turned serious.

Lin Kai was quite serious at first.

After all, one can glean a lot from small details; an imperial edict can reveal quite a bit.

But listen.

"...It is rumored that Gu Youcheng's son is violent by nature and once broke the leg of the son of the military governor of Kunnan Prefecture."

"When General Wang Lin arrived in Jiangnan Province, he gave Gu Youcheng's son many instructions, after all, the princess..."

Lin Kai frowned.

What the hell? A merchant's son broke the leg of a military governor's son?

"During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the military governor of Dingzhou rebelled. In order to ensure peace in the country, Gu Youcheng resolutely decided to provide provisions for the court's 40 troops to support the court's expedition..."

"Whenever I think of this, I feel ashamed and I feel that Dali owes Gu Youcheng a lot."

"Therefore, I hope that if General Lin arrives in Jiangnan Province and Gu Youcheng's son does anything wrong, I request that the General..."

Lin Kai: Can I swear?

...

Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Lin Kai's face turned completely dark.

But seeing Li Yuanqing kneeling beside him, Lin Kai's mood improved.

After all, there's a walking, talking superhuman with superhuman strength here...

After an incense stick has burned.

Outside the gate of the Lin residence.

"Hmm? Princess, are you going to check out the garrison?"

Turning to look at Li Yuanqing beside him, Lin Kai was somewhat curious.

"That's right, General! I grew up in the capital and have never seen what a military garrison is like!"

"My father said that the people in the garrison are the pillars of the Great Li!"

Li Yuanqing nodded frantically, her face full of anticipation as she finished speaking.

However, Lin Kai felt something was off.

But after thinking about it...

"Since the princess has said so, I will obey."

Lin Kai clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and walked towards his horse.

As Lin Kai approached the horse, he prepared to mount it.

"By the way, General Lin, may I ask you a question?"

Li Yuanqing's questioning voice came from behind.

"?"

Lin Kai stopped moving and turned his head.

"Does General Lin not wear makeup because he wants to be different?"

Meeting Lin Kai's gaze, Li Yuanqing's eyes widened, and she spoke with a look of curiosity.

Lin Kai: ?

His lips twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath.

"This is a private matter for me, and I cannot answer it. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

He spoke expressionlessly, then turned around.

Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles... Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles... I'll endure it...

...

Lin Kai and Li Yuanqing walked out of Liaocheng.

"General Lin, why have you been so taciturn throughout the journey?"

Li Yuanqing lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, poked out her cute head, and tilted her head to look at Lin Kai.

Hearing this, Lin Kai curled his lip.

Why do you think that is?

Honestly, if I hadn't been unsure what to do, someone like you would have already...

"Not again..."

Seeing that Lin Kai only glanced at her sideways before turning away, Li Yuanqing's cheeks puffed out.

"Just like Brother Gu Qian, always acting like the world owes him eight million..."

Clenching her fist, Li Yuanqing punched the carved railing beside her and muttered a complaint.

I heard that whispered comment.

"Gu Qian? Gu Youcheng's son? How is he?"

Lin Kai immediately became interested.

The richest man in Jiangnan must meet the requirements for conquering cities and seizing territories, right?

How could I miss this opportunity to gather intelligence on the enemy?

"Hmm? General Lin is interested?"

When Lin Kai turned his head and looked at her with interest, Li Yuanqing was taken aback.

But I didn't think too much about it.

"Brother Gu Qian is a tall, handsome man, not only his lips..."

"Princess, I only wish to know about Gu Qian's character and temperament."

"General Lin, are you perhaps jealous of Gu Qian's good looks?"

"..."

"But speaking of Brother Gu Qian's temperament... there's something that left a deep impression on me."

"What is it?"

"Six months ago, at a banquet hosted by the military governor of Kunnan Prefecture, the governor's son refused to give up his seat, so Brother Gu Qian broke his leg without saying a word! That was incredibly domineering!"

"..."

"Later, the military governor of Kunnan Prefecture was terrified and immediately knelt before the Gu residence, begging for forgiveness..."

"..."

"General Lin, what kind of look is that? Uncle Gu is the richest man in Jiangnan Province, with countless business associations under his name. He's incredibly wealthy, almost like a country. Do you know how many military governors want to get on his good side?"

"..."

Seeing Li Yuanqing's slightly dissatisfied expression, Lin Kai fell into deep thought.

What I'm saying is, is it possible to just rob someone?

Having soldiers and power at your disposal, you're all smiles and flattery towards a businessman, huh...

Lin Kai turned his head away and ignored him.

"General Lin, what kind of attitude is this?"

"Are you looking down on Brother Gu Qian?"

"Apologize to Brother Gu Qian right now, immediately!"

Li Yuanqing's phoenix eyes widened instantly, and she spoke with a murderous look on her face.

"..."

Lin Kai choked for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

After a mental struggle lasting several minutes, he forcibly suppressed the urge to draw his sword.

"I am guilty, I should not have..."

Turning his head, Lin Kai forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, Li Yuan was publicly ridiculed, Zhu Yuanzhang once begged for food... I endured it all...

...

After a cup of tea.

Inside a military camp on the outskirts of Liaocheng.

"General Lin, I misjudged you!"

"Soldiers are human beings too. What do you take them for?"

"Running one kilometer with a five-pound weight on your back, drawing a bow 30 times a day, and swinging a sword 30 times a day—is that something a human could do?"

"Aren't you abusing soldiers?"

Li Yuanqing looked at Lin Kai and roared hysterically.

He paused after saying that.

"These soldiers are born of mothers too; they have parents. General Lin, don't you feel any remorse for mistreating them like this?"

Stomping her foot, Li Yuanqing pointed to a patrol officer next to her and spoke loudly.

"..."

Hearing these angry words and seeing the fierce look on her pretty face in his line of sight, Lin Kai remained silent for a moment.

First, these are the military regulations and training methods you set.

Second, you call this childish drill torture? Hmm?

"No, I can't take it anymore..."

"Keeping this woman around will only cause trouble sooner or later!"

After gritting his teeth, Lin Kai made a decision.

He reached his right hand towards his waist and grasped the hilt of his sword.

"Your Highness is right. Perhaps after we return to the Lin residence, I can slowly seek your advice from you?"
