Chapter 356 - 354 Duge’s Strategic Layout_1
Linyang City.
Luo Shuang sat in the chief seat.
A gathering of people.
Cao Lin looked down at the map, his stick pointing to a location on it, "Princess, Imperial Master, Lin Qing’s army of three hundred thousand is resting in Luan Ridge and is expected to reach Linyang City in five days. I believe Lin Qing will divide his forces into three routes, with two attacking Linjiang and Jiangbei respectively, and the main force moving against Linyang. Once we divide our troops, we will surely be unable to look after both ends.
Even if we assemble our forces in one place, we do not have sufficient strength to resist Lin Qing’s three hundred thousand troops. After all, we must dispatch at least fifty thousand soldiers to guard East Ridge Pass to prevent the Qingwu Country from seizing the opportunity to attack and creating a pincer attack with Lin Qing..."
"General Cao is familiar with Chongming Country, do you know how many Grandmasters there are in Lin Qing’s army?" Luo Shuang asked.
Under Duge’s stern guidance, she had shed her childishness and begun to show the makings of a queen, at least in front of others.
When alone with Duge, however, she occasionally made mistakes for Duge to ’hammer’ his traits.
That day, when Huangfu Yue returned from Linjiang and told her that Duge had not awakened any skills, she took the matter to heart, making mistakes in various ways to have Duge’s Hit King Whip strike her as often as possible.
She even hinted several times to Duge that the Imperial Master could use water torture on her, just as he had done with Huangfu Yue.

To actually use the Seven-Hole Touch on the princess would be an outright act of insubordination, and his loyal traits would soon be completely depleted. Therefore, facing the princess who was actively offering herself, all he could do was say, "Princess, please conduct yourself with dignity."
However.
