My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Ah, Your Highness, you've come to the Martyrs' Shrine of our Great Hua!"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression showed obvious surprise upon hearing Helian Mingchuan's words: "And those shrines enshrine the soldiers who died in battle for our Great Hua!"

"You, a prince of Beiyu, insist on going in to offer sacrifices... isn't that inappropriate?"

"..."

Helian Mingchuan's lips twitched slightly, and his gaze towards Jiang Xiaobai was filled with a desire to kill him on the spot.

Damn it!

Just now, Jiang Xiaobai used ten thousand cannons to coerce him into going.

Now, turning around, it's as if he insisted on going to the Martyrs' Shrine, and Jiang Xiaobai couldn't stop him no matter what he did.

But when Helian Mingchuan's gaze swept over the eighteen still-smoking cannons, the words he was about to say were forcibly swallowed back, and he forced a smile, saying, "Pretty good!"

"Oh, isn't this putting Your Highness in a difficult position?"

Jiang Xiaobai frowned and said, "You should know that I, the young master, have never liked to force people to do things against their will!"

"Your Highness, please don't force yourself if you're unwilling!"

"No pressure!"

Helian Mingchuan gritted his teeth and said, "Not at all!"

"Well, since His Highness insists, then... this prince can't very well stop him!"

Jiang Xiaobai sighed, nodded reluctantly, and then looked in the direction of the Qi delegation.

The members of the Qi delegation changed their expressions upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai's gaze.

"Let's go!"

Before Jiang Xiaobai could speak, the leading elder quickly said, "The soldiers in the Martyrs' Shrine gave their lives for your Great Hua, and they deserve our respect!"

"Yes, we'll go too!"

"Young Master Jiang, rest assured, we have absolutely no intention of causing you any trouble!"

The members of the Qi delegation nodded in unison, their attitudes more sincere than the last.

This scene made Zhang Xinnian secretly happy.

Tang Ningshuang looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a somewhat incredulous expression.

Jiang Xiaobai actually kept his bet!

Li Bingzhang stood beside him, his expression also filled with amazement.

He could see everything clearly along the way.

Jiang Xiaobai first led the delegations from both countries into the military camp and generously allowed them to tour the facilities.

After the two delegations believed they had seen through Jiang's army, they brought out the eighteen cannons, which silenced the delegations.

The man was killed, but neither the Northern Yu nor the Qi state dared to pursue the matter.

The military might reached its peak after the appearance of the eighteen cannons.

Today, the two delegations also visit the Martyrs' Shrine.

This visit by the two delegations to China can be considered a complete and utter defeat!

Most importantly, Jiang Xiaobai had already begun the construction of these eighteen cannons as soon as the two countries' delegations arrived in Beijing.

These steps, one after another, are all connected.

Even as the Prime Minister of the Great Hua Dynasty, he had no choice but to submit at this moment.

That kid's scheming is ruthless!

Jiang Jingcheng stood to the side, listening to the two delegations taking the initiative to go to the Martyrs' Shrine, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face either.

At this moment, Jiang Jingcheng nudged Li Bingzhang with his shoulder, his face full of pride, and said, "See? My son is amazing, isn't he!"

"nonsense!"

Li Bingzhang glanced at Jiang Jingcheng indifferently and said, "How could my son-in-law not be formidable?"

At this point, Li Bingzhang paused, then added, "Moreover, he's the son-in-law who married into my Prime Minister's household!"

"Li Bingzhang, don't push your luck!"

Jiang Jingcheng's smile vanished instantly, and he glared at Li Bingzhang, saying, "Weren't the terms agreed upon last time?"

"After their marriage, their first child bore the surname Jiang, so although it was nominally a case of the man marrying into the woman's family, it wasn't entirely true!!"

"Hmph, I don't remember!"

Li Bingzhang shifted his gaze to the side.

"You son of a bitch, believe me or not, I'll kill you!"

Jiang Jingcheng was immediately enraged, and his hand reached towards his waist.

"Give it a try!"

Li Bingzhang turned his head and looked coldly at Jiang Jingcheng, showing no fear whatsoever.

The two glared at each other, and just as they were about to start arguing again, Jiang Xiaobai noticed the commotion.

With a helpless smile, Jiang Xiaobai turned around, looked at the 30,000 soldiers on the training ground, and proclaimed loudly, "Gentlemen, our border soldiers, who died on the battlefield, their bodies wrapped in horsehide, their heroic spirits will live on forever!"

"Since the delegations from both countries have requested to visit the Martyrs' Shrine to pay their respects, then I, the Crown Prince, will take them there!"

"By the way, tell them that every inch of our great land was defended by our martyrs with their lives!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the previously quiet military formation suddenly became restless.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Thirty thousand soldiers shouted in unison, their voices rising higher and higher, echoing throughout the entire military camp.

As Jiang Jingcheng listened, the anger on his face slowly subsided, and his gaze returned to Jiang Xiaobai, flashing with admiration.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, this brat's influence among the 30,000 soldiers in the capital was probably no less than that of his father.

However, Jiang Jingcheng felt mostly gratified.

The sons of the Jiang family deserve such prestige!

"Everyone, let's go to the Martyrs' Shrine!!"

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he took Li Zhiwei's hand and led the way out of the martial arts arena.

Li Zhiwei followed beside Jiang Xiaobai, secretly glancing at him; her eyes were filled with a strange light.

Holding Jiang Xiaobai's hand right now, she felt inexplicably safe and secure.

It seems that as long as this man is by her side, she has nothing to fear, no matter what she faces.

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince!"

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince!"

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince!"

The voices of 30,000 soldiers rang out once more, sending shivers down the spines of the delegations from both countries.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingcheng's expression became somewhat unnatural.

When they left earlier, they all shouted "Respectfully seeing off the Marquis!"

Now that Jiang Xiaobai is gone, these guys are actually calling him "Young Master," and they're all getting more and more excited.

Sigh, who can he turn to for justice?

Seeing Jiang Jingcheng's jealous expression, Li Bingzhang burst into laughter and walked past him with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Jingcheng's face darkened, and he could only let out a heavy snort before following after him.

But the more Jiang Jingcheng acted this way, the happier Li Bingzhang became.

Soon, the group returned to the carriage outside the military camp.

Even from such a distance, the shouts of the 30,000 soldiers in the training ground could still be heard clearly.

Jiang Xiaobai led the way onto the carriage.

After Helian Zhaoyue and the others got in, the carriage slowly started moving, heading towards the Shrine of Heroes.

The carriage was quiet for a moment. Jiang Xiaobai's lips curled up as he looked at Helian Zhaoyue: "Your Highness, how's your strength?"

"What do you mean?"

Helian Zhaoyue frowned and looked at Jiang Xiaobai warily.

"Oh, it's nothing!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and tapped his leg, saying earnestly, "I just came to the military camp, and my legs are a little sore!"

"Could you give me a massage?"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Helian Zhaoyue and said, "However, don't worry, this young master has never liked to force people to do things against their will!"

"If you don't want to, I absolutely will not force you!!"

"Then I won't hit it!"

Helian Zhaoyue spoke coldly, without the slightest hesitation.

"Oh, then I'll build 100,000 cannons!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "No, build 1.6 million gates, two for each person, one in each hand, and do nothing else but listen to the sound..."

"Jiang! Xiao! Bai!"
