“Isn’t Prince De still there?” Qian Jiyun reminded him with a smile.

“Prince De…” Eldest Brother Yan wondered if he should curse aloud.

Prince De was a little cunning, but so what? Could they rely on Prince De to hold off thousands of troops and defend the southern border?

That was the southern border in question, and beyond it were the strongest enemies!

“Do you really think Prince De is reliable?” he asked.

“Prince De is unreliable, but don’t we still have the 18 Stockaded Villages? Guarding the southern border is not a problem,” Qian Jiyun said.

“The 18 Stockaded Villages?” Eldest Brother Yan could not help but roll his eyes.

Was Qian Jiyun expecting Prince De to subdue the 18 Stockaded Villages? Prince De would be better off guarding the southern border alone.

No one in the 18 Stockaded Villages would submit to the royal family. Otherwise, they would have been subdued long ago.

“Are you intending to rely on Prince De to subdue the 18 Stockaded Villages, or are you sending someone to do it secretly?”

He did not think Prince De was capable of this. As for Qian Jiyun, if he really wanted to go… That was probably impossible, right?

“Are you confident?”

Before Qian Jiyun could speak, Eldest Brother Yan interrupted him, “If it were any other army, it would be fine, but dealing with the 18 Stockaded Villages is tricky. Jiyun, maybe you should consider another approach.

“The Shu Bei army is in my hands, and the southern border is still in your hands. Half of the capital’s military forces are in our hands. We can still give it a try. We don’t need to control the eastern border.”

“Ha!” Qian Jiyun touched his forehead and chuckled. “Big Brother, I might not have mentioned this to you, but Prince An Yang is Jiuyue’s adoptive father.” “Huh?” Eldest Brother Yan was stunned.

He had heard that Prince An Yang, An Tu, had no children. Hence, he had always thought that no one would dare pretend to be Prince An Yang’s descendant to take over the 18 Stockaded Villages.

Everyone who wanted to go was afraid they would not be able to return. “You mean Sister-in-Law is… related to Prince An Yang?”

He wondered if he had misheard or if Qian Jiyun had misspoken. An Jiuyue was An Tu’s adopted daughter?

“I heard from Father that Prince An Yang has a blank imperial edict that allows him to choose a trusted successor. Is that in Sister-in-Law’s possession?”

“Mhm.” Qian Jiyun nodded at him. “Jiuyue is the new Prince An Yang. I’ve read the imperial edict. So can we discuss our next steps now?”

“Then what are we waiting for? Come, let’s discuss quickly.”

Eldest Brother Yan pressed his palms together and rubbed them vigorously as he sat beside Qian Jiyun.

“I’ve waited long enough. You don’t know how overwhelming recent events have been. They’ve given me massive headaches.”

He could wait, but could the victims of the disasters afford to? More importantly, it was not just the eastern border; there were many disasters throughout the country.

The Emperor did not care, so what else could he do? If his father was not the ruler, he would have…

Forget it. These were all meaningless thoughts. He had to settle the matter at hand first.

“Let me tell you something. I sent people to the eastern border, but there’s too much chaos. I’m afraid foreign enemies will strike soon. If possible, the Zhan Yun Army has to withdraw from the southern border as soon as possible..”
