Chapter 179 The imperial edict has arrived
How could such a disabled person have such qualities?
Why should he be taken care of by her?
"Your Majesty..."
"Let's go!"
In the end, Murong Chen did not go to Chen Wanruo's yard, and left Chen Mansion with Ye Yi.
However, to their surprise.
As soon as the two entered Prince Zhan's mansion, they unexpectedly saw the back of Eunuch Li walking into the mansion with the imperial edict in his hand.
"Eunuch Li!" Ye Yi called out softly.
When he saw this back figure, Murong Chen himself had an ominous premonition.
Especially when he saw the imperial edict in his hand, his narrow brows immediately frowned.
After hearing Ye Yi's voice, Eunuch Li quickly turned around and walked towards Murong Chen.
"Your Highness, I was just about to send someone to call you back to listen to my orders," Eunuch Li said respectfully.
"Now that the king is back, recite it!" Murong Chen said lightly.
Eunuch Li didn't take it to heart.
If someone else said something like this, it would definitely not work.
But if this person is War King Murong Chen, then there will be no problem.
Because the emperor had said a long time ago that Prince Zhan could be exempted from the kneeling ceremony due to his leg disease.
So, when seeing Murong Chen's indifferent look at this time, Eunuch Li didn't say anything.
He opened the imperial edict and shouted:
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that the border is in danger, and the Yiman country has invaded the border of our Great Jin. The safety of our Great Jin depends on a line. I cannot bear to see the people suffer from the war, so I have decided to order the War King Murong Chen to lead the army to go out immediately to ensure the peace of the people on the border of our Great Jin. This imperial decree directly appoints the great general, the War King Murong Chen, as the Grand Marshal of the Expedition, and he will lead the army to go out from now on. I hope the Grand Marshal will perform his duties conscientiously, be brave and good at fighting, and make sure to quell the hidden dangers of the Yiman Tatars as soon as possible and return triumphantly. I know that the War King is both wise and brave, and has rich battlefield experience, and he will not disappoint me. Teng specially grants a Shangfang sword and a Ferghana horse. The sword can be used to kill first and then report, to show my trust in him. This time, I hope that all the soldiers will work together, fight bravely, and ensure the peace of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. When we return with a great victory, I will reward them according to their merits. This is my decree!"
"Your Majesty, please accept my order!"
Looking at Murong Chen's dark face, Eunuch Li spoke cautiously in a low voice.
He knew that nothing good would come of him issuing this imperial decree.
Especially when facing Murong Chen, you need a strong heart.
Taking the imperial edict from Eunuch Li, Murong Chen said directly: "Goodbye!"
Eunuch Li: “…” But he didn’t dare to complain.

At the same time, in the Marquis of Anding’s Mansion.
Sun Bizhi also knew about the imperial edict.
For no other reason than that if Murong Chen went on an expedition, he would definitely have to go along with him.
"That's too much. It's obvious that they want the prince to..."
"Shut up!"
Before Sun Bizhi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Marquis Sun Jianzhu.
Su Danqing, who was standing by, also said quickly: "Son, be careful of what you say!"
In the eyes of outsiders, their Anding Marquis Mansion is extremely glorious.
But in fact, only they themselves know that these are just superficial.
Because of the relationship with Prince Zhan, their Anding Marquis Mansion has long been tied to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
The reason why the emperor did not take action against their mansion was because he could not find any fault with them.
If Sun Bizhi's words at this moment were heard by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Father, don't worry. We may not lose this battle." Sun Bizhi said after calming down.
"How can we fight without soldiers and food? The imperial edict did not say how many soldiers to give. It is obvious that he will not give the prince a single soldier."
Old Marquis Sun Jianzhu said in a deep voice.
He never dreamed that things would turn out like this.
They are obviously brothers, why are their destinies so different?
Just saying this, Su Danqing was still preparing things for Sun Bizhi to use for the expedition.
"Mother need not prepare, son..."
"Talk less. We are about to go to war, and don't say anything unlucky!" Su Danqing interrupted Sun Bizhi directly.
When she said this, her eyes were already red.
She knew that her son would most likely never come back and that something dangerous would happen to him.
But that's his fate.
Everyone envies them for being born into a marquisate, but they don’t know how much they lost for this title.
If she had a choice, she would rather marry into an ordinary family and live an ordinary life.
"Mom, I'll be fine. Haven't I been through this for so many years?"
"Can it be the same? Can it be the same this time?" Su Danqing said, wiping his eyes.
When they went to war in the past, they were doing so on behalf of the Jin Dynasty.
And now?
That's simply throwing her life away, how can she be at ease?
Can she feel at ease?
She only has this one son. If something happens to him, what will happen to this huge mansion?
"Brother..." Sun Biyi, who came in hurriedly, looked at Sun Bizhi and called out reluctantly.
But after this, she didn't know what else she could say.
"Take good care of father and mother!" Sun Bizhi whispered to Sun Biyi.
He himself knew that this battle would most likely be a one-way trip.
Just thinking about how guilty she was towards her parents, Sun Bizhi felt a strong sense of helplessness in her heart.
"Brother, I will, take care!" Sun Biyi said firmly.

At the same time, at the Battle Palace.
After receiving the imperial edict, Murong Chen immediately dressed and went to the military camp.
He himself did not expect it to be so sudden, considering that he had been talking to her at Chen's house in the morning.
This sudden separation.
For a moment, Murong Chen hated himself again. Why didn't he be more patient at that time?
This might make her feel happy.
This farewell may be forever.
But it’s better this way, at least I didn’t give her hope.
In this way, even if she died in battle, she could still live happily.
Thinking of this, Murong Chen smiled bitterly again, pushed the wheelchair directly towards the carriage.
