Zhenbei Marquis naturally knew that the people in the Inner City were unsettled, with unrest and disorder everywhere, and incidents of burning, killing, and looting occurring at every turn. However, all the court's energy was focused on the fighting in the Outer City, so it had not strictly managed the Inner City.
After Ning Xiaochuan brought it up, he began taking it seriously as well.
Actually, if he had to choose, how could Zhenbei Marquis truly want to charge into battle? If he could remain in the Inner City to suppress the rioters, he would naturally face far less danger to his life.
"But this is the Prince's order..." Zhenbei Marquis still hesitated.
Ning Xiaochuan knew that Zhenbei Marquis still had reservations, so he continued, "I now order, in my capacity as the Grand Commander of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion, that Zhenbei Marquis remain in the Inner City and suppress those traitors who dare disrupt the hearts of the people in the Imperial City. If you cannot maintain peace in the Inner City, you will be dealt with under military law."
"This subordinate receives the order." Zhenbei Marquis was secretly delighted, which was why he willingly referred to himself as "this subordinate" before Ning Xiaochuan.
The Grand Commander of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion ordered me to remain in the Inner City. It wasn't that I wanted to stay in the Imperial City myself. Even if Peacock Bright King investigates this later, he can't blame me. Zhenbei Marquis thought this to himself.
Ning Xiaochuan intended to move the members of Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion out of the Imperial City, so he naturally could not let Zhenbei Marquis accompany him. He could only send him away.
However, the Inner City's public order truly did need to be managed.
