"Yang Wuce, heed my command!" Bai Qingyan's eyes were steadfast. "You and General Liu Hong, along with twenty thousand soldiers, will make your way through Puwen City, Longyang City, Youhua City, Tianlan Mountain, and Yushan Pass, to reach the Capital City. You are strictly forbidden to enforce child conscription! Any violation... will be executed without mercy!"
"I accept the order!" Yang Wuce responded loudly, clasping his fists.
Bai Qingyan turned to the silent, tight-lipped Liu Hong. "General Liu, do you have any questions?"
Liu Hong... Bai Qingyan did not wish to oppose him, so she let him see for himself what the Emperor had done... to see if this Emperor was worth his loyalty unto death, hoping Liu Hong would awaken.
Liu Hong trembled all over, knowing that the tide had turned in Bai Qingyan's favor.
