(Thanks to reader Banni Yusheng il for becoming this book's newest top supporter—may you reign over the martial world for ten thousand generations. I should add several bonus chapters, but readers in the group know a pipe at home is leaking, and I'm arguing with the developer. For now, I can only add one chapter to celebrate... Coming right up...) Li Yun was delighted. He said to Tang Changsheng, "The Marquisate of He is indeed still in turmoil. Heavenly Master, please hold Hechuan City and accept the surrender of the rebels. I'm willing to lead the troops straight to Baozhi City."
Tang Changsheng naturally knew Li Yun meant well. War was dangerous, after all, and Hechuan City could already be considered the rear.
But Tang Changsheng was hardly afraid of a little danger. He shook his head and said calmly, "Since I'm overseeing the army here, I won't retreat a single step. But rest assured, General, I won't interfere with your command!"
Li Yun looked moved at once. Powerful as the Xian'an Imperial Guards were, they had long been subject to army supervisors. Eunuchs were often sent to oversee them and curb the authority of their generals.
As a result, despite their strength, the Xian'an Imperial Guards had lost more battles than they had won under those eunuchs' reckless direction.
Hearing Tang Changsheng say outright that he would not interfere with his command, Li Yun felt deeply grateful.
"I also want to see you take Baozhi City with my own eyes, General!" Tang Changsheng said encouragingly.
Faced with a superior who let him act freely, Li Yun truly felt he would die for someone who understood him. He gritted his teeth. "Rest assured, Heavenly Master. Barring any mishaps, you'll be able to enter Baozhi City at daybreak tomorrow!"
