Li Chen's expression gradually became serious, he nodded to Su Pingbei and said, "However, if this palace wants to win, someone else wants this palace to lose. So the real difficulty of this battle is not on the battlefield, but in the unseen undercurrents surging, within the court."

Only your status and family background can minimize this difficulty to the greatest extent.

But no matter what, starting from your departure, pressures and difficulties will come one after another.

"This palace wants to help you, but after all, most departments in the court still listen to the cabinet. So this palace can be very honest with you and tell you that many things you can only rely on yourself. Don't even mention this palace, even your father is unable to help you in many aspects."

"Now you're like a target the imperial court has pushed out, facing not only the desperate counterattacks of the Japanese pirates but also hidden daggers from within the court itself."

"So don't you dare think this is a gilded opportunity. If we lose this battle, your personal losses will be small, but the Su family's reputation will vanish like snow in the sun."

Li Chen's words made Su Pingbei's face very interesting.

Before, Su Zhen'ting had mentioned some things to him, but he hadn't spoken as cruelly and realistically as Li Chen did. It seemed that Su Zhen'ting didn't intend to let Su Pingbei come into contact with too many conspiracies and schemes, while Li Chen's words revealed the essence of the whole thing.

"Rest assured, Your Highness. Pingbei will do his utmost!"

Su Ping cupped his hands and said seriously.

He nodded and said, “It’s good to have this spirit. At least you haven’t disgraced the reputation of the War God. However, how skilled you truly are will only be known in battle.”

After finishing his words, Li Chen pushed himself up from the armrest with both hands and said, "Where is your father"

"At this time, you should be in the study. Does your Highness want to see Father I shall call him over." Su Pingbei replied.

"No need, I'll go there myself."

Waving his hand, Li Chen walked towards the study with his hands behind his back.

That bearing, it seemed as if he were intimately familiar with the General's Mansion, almost as though it were his own backyard.

Watching Li Chen stroll away leisurely, Su Pingbei sighed and said to Su Jinping, “Little sister, do you think His Highness is scaring me”

Su Jinpa said coldly, "The reality may be even more serious than this. You really think this is a pie falling from the sky But it's just as well, haven't you always wanted to prove yourself Here's your chance."

Su Pingbei twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I want to prove myself, but I don't want to go to my death. When you say that, I suddenly remembered a piece of gossip I heard before. It is said that when His Highness mentioned sending troops to the Xian Dynasty, none of the generals in the court dared to speak up."

"Now that the military clans are in decline, the generals who can still stand in the court under such circumstances, each one's ancestor wasn't a great general. These are the real old soldiers, each one more cunning than the last."

They immediately saw that this job was not a good one to take. It looked like a fat pig, but once you took a bite, it turned into a hedgehog, only you are so naive.

Su Jinpa obviously hadn't forgotten the grudge from their recent argument, and her words were naturally not polite.

"So what"

Su Pingbei came with a huff, gritting his teeth and saying: "Back then, my grandfather had no ancestors who were high officials to help him. He was just a junior commander, but he led over eighty men into the enemy ranks and killed the Liao general. From that battle onwards, he became famous. Even in his nine deaths and lives, my grandfather managed to find wealth and honor. Why can't I, Su Pingbei, do the same"
