"Dare to force my Master. Who do you think you are?" Ling Shijiu said coldly.
When Yao Zhi saw something gleaming in Ling Shijiu's hand, she quickly said, "Shijiu, don't be rude in front of the Madam."
Hearing the warning, Ling Shijiu stopped and put away his weapon. He cupped his fists and bowed before returning to his previous spot.

"Madam, now that you have witnessed the power of this weapon, do you think it can help the White Tiger Army solve the crisis?"
"Of course. With this weapon, not to mention reclaiming the northeast city, we might even be able to expand the territory," Xue Ya'er nodded.
"Let's not talk about expanding the territory first. With how rotten the current royal family is, even if we successfully expand the territory, there is no way for us to defend it."
After a war, the imperial court needs to stabilize the newly taken areas to avoid riots.
