top."Was it the prince who sent you, or Zhao Xuanji" Ning Wang asked coldly."As an official appointed by the imperial court, I naturally came here following the emperor's orders." Zhou Ping'an replied...Chapter 1424: Military and Politics

Su Pingbei may just lack political experience, he is not stupid.

After noticing Li Chen's unusual silence, Su Pingbei immediately realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed not to want him to carry out this mission.

After a slight purse of her lips, Su Ping bowed to Li Chen with sincerity and said, "Please grant your grace, Your Highness."

Li Chen ignored Su Pingbei and instead turned to Wu QIngcang, asking, "Is there no one else more suitable than Yueyaguan"

Wu Qingcang made no attempt to hide or conceal it.

He replied respectfully, “The passes of Yueya are filled with talented people. There are brave and skilled warriors, those adept at strategy, and even some who excel in both.”

"But regardless of their ability or social standing, all the people from top to bottom in Yueya Pass are united in their determination. They consider it an honor to serve the country and your Highness."

"Only this mission, it's of great importance, requires a commander with extremely strong comprehensive abilities. Only General Su Pingbei is the most suitable candidate."

To sum up, the point is that this matter can't be done by anyone other than Su Pingbei.

To Wu Qingcang's words, Li Chen remained noncommittal.

He turned to Su Pingbei and asked, "Is this your own idea too"

Su Pingbei hastily replied, "This subordinate also wishes to go."

When Wu Shuai put forward this plan, all the people from Yueya Pass to its surrounding areas were united and determined. Many generals were eager to go there. But I also think that only I am the most suitable candidate.

"My lord, the highest honor for a soldier is to die in their armor."

"To die for one's country is not a terrible thing."

"Although Pingbei is of little talent, he also knows that this is the time when the court needs capable people. Pingbei is willing to contribute his meager strength to help Your Highness pacify the Liao army."

Li Chen frowned slightly at Su Pingbei and said, "Do you know that besides your identity as a soldier, you have another, more important identity"

"Got it!" Su Pingbei answered decisively.

He looked at Li Chen with piercing eyes and said, "But in my heart, a soldier's identity is the most important."

"I was born into a military family. Everyone knows I'm the grandson of the God of War, Su Zhen's son, but no one has ever said that the grandson of the God of War, Su Zhen's son, is me, Su Pingbei."

“I want to prove myself, and I even more want to make a name for myself!”

"Not for power, not for office, I just want to do something solid and meaningful."

Having said all that, Su Ping knelt down before Li Chen with a thud. He spoke sincerely: “Ping Bei is still young and inexperienced, there are certainly many things I haven’t considered carefully. But Ping Bei doesn’t have time to think about those anymore. Your Highness, please forgive me this once, and grant me this request.”

Su Pingbei had put his words in that way, and although Li Chen still felt it wasn't a good choice, he couldn't force Su Pingbei to go back.

In that case, Su Pingbei's life would probably be ruined.

No matter what, a Su Pingbei who dares to fight, kill and go all out is always better than a decadent, gaming-obsessed descendant of the God of War.

"That's all then." Li Chen said calmly. "Since it's your own choice, this palace won't stop you, but you have to remember, your life isn't just your own affair, it's also connected to many people and things, so you must come back alive."

Upon hearing Li Chen's words, Su Pingbei beamed with joy. He hurriedly said: "This subordinate thanks Your Highness. This subordinate will definitely keep Your Highness's words in mind!"Chapter 1415: On the Eve of the Final Battle
