Xiao Shenghe's answer pleased Yelu Shenxuan very much.

He immediately wrote the order and directly granted Xiao Shenghe the power to control the troops at Yueya Pass at any time on the order. Afterward, Yelu Shenxuan handed the order to Xiao Shenghe.

"I like capable people, as long as you have enough ability, there will be a place for you by my side."

Ye Lu Shen Xuan's statement was akin to a political pledge.

A politician's mouth is dirtier than a prostitute's body, able to deceive anyone. However, as the crown prince-in-waiting, Yelu Shenxuan's words are golden decrees, absolute truth. He would never speak without meaning it. Anything he utters will surely come to pass.

Both Yelü Shenxuan's character and his position dictated that he had to be stingy with promises, because once a promise was made, it had to be kept.

Xiao Shenghe obviously understood the weight of this political promise. He excitedly took the order and said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely not disappoint you."

"I don't care what you say, I only care about what you do."

Yelü Shenxuan patted Xiao Shenghe's shoulder heavily and said, "Go do your thing, I'll wait for your good news."

Xiao Sheng He Zheng nodded solemnly, stepping out of the tent. He clenched the order in his hand, took a deep breath, and knew that his future success depended on this one moment.

Everything in the world always has a trade-off.

He dared to put forward the suspicion of an insider, knowing that if it wasn't accepted by Yelü Shenxuan, he would offend a large number of high-ranking officers within the camp, those whose status and rank far surpassed his own. The consequences for him would be being sidelined, or even worse, sent to the battlefield to be killed.

Luckily, Yelü Shenxuan accepted it. He bet right, so he was rewarded with this order.

And this order, while a reward, is also a double-edged sword.

This was a bigger gamble. If he succeeded, he would have everything: fame, fortune, and power. But if he failed, although Yelü Shenxuan didn't say it, Xiao Sheng knew his own fate wouldn't be kind.

Without Yelü Shenxuan's protection, those he had offended with that "traitor" remark just now could still attack him.

Therefore, Xiao Sheng knew he could only succeed and was not allowed to fail.

Xiao Sheng would not dare to delay, after leaving the camp he immediately led his troops straight to Yueya Pass.

And just as he was racing toward Yuemenguan, Yuan Shidao had already found the camp of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders.

Although the camp was heavily guarded with soldiers patrolling everywhere, this posed no problem for Yuan Shidao.

Under the cover of darkness, Yuan Shidao stealthily infiltrated the military camp.

At this moment, Prince Ning is reading in his central army tent.

Although the King Ning held a high position of power, he was not actually a man of extravagant tastes. Aside from leading troops into battle and reading books, he had no other hobbies.

In this regard, King Ning was indeed far superior to the vast majority of officials in the court.

"A thousand mountains are black until you leave the seabed, and when you reach mid-heaven, ten thousand countries shine."

Having read those two lines, King Ning put down his book and walked to the window of his tent. He looked at a crescent moon hanging in the sky, faintly visible. In its dim light, only snowflakes were falling one by one.

The lonely King Ning sighed, "At this hour, the mountains are shrouded in darkness. When will the dawn break and bring light to all nations"

The current situation, and the uncertainty of the future, only made King Ning feel agitated. A surge of emotion welled up within him, an urge to express his feelings. So he turned around, picked up his pen, and wrote down a line.

Through countless battles, you shall ascend to the pinnacle and bring about an era of everlasting peace!"uldn't be impossible.Facing Zhao Xuanji, he really didn't dare.A person's name, a tree's shadow.Zhao Xuanji controlled the government for over ten years.
