Ch. 141Dai Mubai Forced onto the Battlefield
Dai Mubai was forced to the front lines under Dai Weisi’s orders, where his defensive plans were dismissed and he was threatened with blame if the war went badly. After Zhu Zhuqing asked whether he trusted her, the story left their next move unresolved.
- Zhu Zhuqing read the decree ordering Dai Mubai to the front lines and recognized it as a trap that would give Dai Weisi credit for victory and make Mubai a scapegoat for defeat.
- Royal Guards used Zhu Zhuqing as leverage, forcing Dai Mubai to agree to go to the front lines with her and plead for them to be spared.
- At the battlefield, Dai Mubai’s deputy commander rejected his defensive plans, while hidden guards prevented him from challenging the decision.
- Dai Mubai returned to Zhu Zhuqing, exhausted and worried that defeat would bring his death, and she asked whether he trusted her.
