Chapter 95 - 67 Breakthrough!
A gentle female voice came through, chuckling:
"It’s rare to see you so spirited, Erlang."
The girl with the dragon and phoenix aura raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Of course, it’s because I’ve met a remarkable talent of this world, just like coming across a rare flower. I always wish to take them under my command and into my possession. Speaking of which, it was indeed your second older brother who found such a person for me while he was outside."
"It was truly right to snatch you from my eldest brother’s hands to be in my Duke Mansion back then!"
The girl grinding ink blushed slightly, speaking softly, "Second Miss is just talking nonsense."
The young lady grinned and said, "Anyway, I need to act as a man outside, and I need your help to cover for me. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Wugou, continue grinding the ink. I’m going to find my elder brother and father. There’s a change in the world, and we cannot let go of such a good opportunity."
She adjusted her robe, wearing a white round-necked robe embroidered with large peony decorations in gold threads. The artisan made a crown with gold wire, and her phoenix eyes with a vertical crimson mark on her forehead looked spirited as she walked upright, her right hand pressing on the hilt of her sword.
Her father and elder brother were discussing important matters.
After the girl entered, she put forward her suggestion, barely mentioning the need for a fierce general to lead a small squad of elite cavalry to battle when she was interrupted. The current Duke Longxi frowned slightly and sighed, "Family and state affairs are serious matters, stop being foolish."
The young lady paused, took half a step forward, and pointed to the geographical map, "Currently, Tuyuhun is taking advantage of the Southern Dynasty’s defensive change to march southward. The Western Regions are vast, but it’s a vast area lacking sufficiently fertile land. With the Western Regions’ complex terrain, facing the heavy cavalry from the north, the Turkic, they lack depth. Whether for self-preservation or accumulating strength, they will certainly devour Chen Country’s territory. Now, with Ying Country and the Turkic facing off in the north and the Dangxiang people lying low, they will not give up such a tempting opportunity, Father. The chance is right before us."
The Duke rebuked, "Nonsense! Do you think that we do not understand family and state affairs as well as a child like you?"
