The next morning, Ye Yunzi was half-coaxed and half-dragged by Shen Siyan to the emperor's palace while she was still asleep.

At breakfast time, Ye Yunzi was alone facing a table full of delicious food, but she found the food tasteless. The two bosses had already gone into the study, leaving her yawning alone.

As soon as the emperor sat down, he threw an urgent letter in front of Shen Siyan. Shen Siyan glanced at it and saw that the letter contained news that Jiufeng Country had invaded the border Kandan. He looked indifferent and responded in a cold tone: "I don't care about this matter!"

The emperor had anticipated this, and he sat in the chair with a lazy posture but exuding royal nobility.

"This country is your father's life's work. Can you bear to watch it disappear bit by bit after his death?"

When talking about his father, Shen Siyan's eyes flickered slightly, but the emperor obviously underestimated him.

Shen Siyan raised a faint smile and sat on the chair in a rude manner: "Do you think you can convince me like this? My father guarded it for his entire life, but he couldn't keep it in the end. It seems that the soldiers under your command are not that strong."

The emperor's eyes gradually turned cold, and he looked directly at Shen Siyan: "Then what do you want? The border is your father's world. As the son of General Shen, you can boost morale by taking action."

Shen Siyan raised his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor, his tone full of casualness and laxity: "So? I have to go?"

The emperor glanced at Shen Siyan and said through his teeth: "So what do you mean?"

"Simple, stop trying to hit on her, that's my condition."

The emperor sneered after hearing this, his eyes full of disdain: "You don't even have the courage to compete with me? You use this to threaten me, what kind of hero are you?"

Shen Siyan held the teacup, his eyes seemingly wandering nonchalantly around the rim of the cup. His calmness made the emperor grit his teeth even more.

The emperor had just ascended the throne and was unable to handle many things. There were many opponents who wanted to pull him off the throne, and he dared not entrust anyone except Shen Siyan to guard such a critical position on the frontier.

The emperor suddenly had an idea, and he leaned back in his chair leisurely, saying, "There are still things left by your father on the border. Can you really bear to let them fall into the hands of the Jiufeng people?"

Shen Siyan's handsome face was suddenly covered with gloom. His father had spent his entire life guarding the frontier, fighting wits and courage with the Jiufeng Kingdom. If the relics were taken away by them, it would be a great shame and humiliation. Shen Siyan would never allow such a thing to happen.

Shen Siyan stared at the emperor fiercely for a long time before he slowly said, "I promise you, but Ye Yunzi has to go with me!"

Looking at the compromising Shen Siyan, a gleam of success flashed in the emperor's eyes.

As soon as Shen Siyan left the house, he took Ye Yunzi's hand and left in a hurry. The emperor looked at the empty dining table, feeling it was deserted, and ordered someone to clean it up.

After returning to the residence, Ye Yunzi saw that Shen Siyan had a stern face and frowned. She wanted to ask but didn't dare to, for fear of touching off Shen Siyan's powder keg.

Shen Siyan gently embraced Ye Yunzi in his arms, sniffing the reassuring scent on her body, and slowly said, "We are going to the border in a few days. Are you willing to go with me?"

Ye Yunzi nodded, snuggled in his arms, and listened to the strong heartbeat.

Two days later, Shen Siyan wore armor and led Ye Yunzi out. Ye Yunzi prepared several sets of tights for herself to move in, as long robes with large sleeves were not practical for such occasions.

When the two arrived at the court, the emperor was already sitting on the dragon throne. Upon seeing them coming, he said in a deep voice:

"Now, the Jiufeng Kingdom has invaded our country's Kandan border, intending to encroach on our territory. I now appoint Shen Siyan as the chief commander, Feng Xiangyu as the deputy commander, and Ye Yunzi as the military advisor, and lead 300,000 troops to the border to defend our homeland."

The eunuch presented the commander's seal at the right time, and Shen Siyan took it expressionlessly. The group then moved to the city wall.

Ye Yunzi looked down at the huge crowd below, feeling as if a stone was pressing down on her heart. She had never expected that she would suddenly become a female military strategist.

The emperor stood on the top of the city wall, and his calm voice resounded in all directions: "Today, General Shen led his people to defend our territory. Jiufeng dared to covet our Ranqi Dynasty. We swear to defeat it, recover the lost territory, and demonstrate the majesty of our dynasty."

His words were as gentle as a spring breeze, and his firmness and confidence were evident in his words. Even Ye Yunzi felt confident after hearing them, and felt that victory was already in her grasp.

"Recover the lost territory and enhance our national prestige. A mere Jiufeng, don't even think about getting away with it!"

I don't know who started shouting it first, but this passionate slogan quickly spread throughout the city, and the spark of patriotism quietly took root in everyone's heart.

After the ceremony, Shen Siyan rode a white horse slowly out of the city, Feng Xiangyu on the left, and Ye Yunzi in white on the right. The group galloped to Bianying City.

Seeing the Nine Phoenix Flag flying over Kandan, Shen Siyan said in a calm voice: "Pass on the order. The troops will camp in Bianying City. Another 100,000 troops will be stationed on the plain 15 kilometers away from Kandan. Within a quarter of an hour, I want a detailed topographic map and intelligence on the enemy's generals."

The order was loud and clear and could not be challenged, so everyone had no choice but to obey.

Shen Siyan stared at the unfolded topographic map. In front of him was a vast desert, and Kandan was the pearl in the oasis.

Ye Yunzi changed into a tight combat uniform and tied her long hair into a neat ponytail, looking capable and smart.

Shen Siyan raised his eyes, Ye Yunzi's new outfit made his throat tighten, and his heart felt inexplicably hot. He looked at Ye Yunzi with a gloomy expression. An indescribable fire rose in his belly. He couldn't help but lower his head to capture those tempting red lips.

After some tenderness, Shen Siyan stared at Ye Yunzi with a fiery gaze, the fire of desire in his belly intensified, and he asked coldly: "Who allowed you to wear this?"

Ye Yunzi felt extremely comfortable in this outfit, as if she had regained the lightness she had when performing missions, no longer constrained by complicated clothing.

She was concentrating on the map and didn't notice Shen Siyan's forbearing expression: "That's good. Do you want me to wear a skirt to the battlefield and hold everyone back? This is not my style."

Although Ye Yunzi's words made sense, Shen Siyan refused to buy it and gritted his teeth and said, "Change it back. You can only wear it like this when you need it!"

Ye Yunzi ignored Shen Siyan's subtle expression, pointed at Kandan, and said bluntly: "We must fight quickly and take Kandan, there is plenty of water there. If we delay for too long, not only will morale drop to the bottom, but the brothers will also become thirsty."

Shen Siyan nodded silently, with a hint of approval in his eyes. Hey, this little girl also has her own way of marching and fighting?

He leisurely held Ye Yunzi on his knees, and played with the hair by her ears with his fingertips. "I never knew my wife is a hidden military expert, huh?"

The ending tone was long and magnetic, with a gentleness that made Ye Yunzi feel itchy inside.

Ye Yunzi's body softened and she collapsed in his arms, muttering to herself: This guy is such a troublesome goblin!

Shen Siyan looked at the blood-red sunset in the sky, a smile appeared on his lips, "Madam, do you think we will be safe tonight?"
