"Your Majesty... This absolutely must not happen!"
After the envoy from the Shenwu Guild had left, Shen Qi was the first to voice his opposition.
Chen Qing looked at Shen Qi, seeing him this resolutely opposed for the first time; the man usually preferred to consider all sides of a matter.
Shen Qi continued, "Their name holds no legitimacy. Your Majesty, you have been officially conferred by the Imperial Court as a Vassal King. It's the Northern Demons who have truly invaded; the Northern Territory suffered the death and injury of tens of billions, countless Northern men perished at the serpents' mouths, avenging their blood is the duty of the Human Race. At this time, if the Emperor launches a spring campaign, whether to reclaim the territory or avenge the men from the Northern Territory, it would be justified. But if we send troops, do you understand the consequences, Your Majesty?"
Chen Qing stroked his chin in silence; this was indeed a serious issue!
