Ms. Doctor Divine

1303 Fights

Zhou Huaijin showed some expression on his face.

He had predicted that he would be arranged to defend Xinzhou. The Saint Divine Land had lost many counties since Jiayu Pass was lost, and obviously, it was because the Saint Divine Land was not strong enough to defend themselves against the North Qi Land.

Zhou Huailing had not obtained anything after spending so much time at the border. It was already lucky for him to have come back safe and sound. Obviously, they did not keep Xinzhou either, so when the Officer of the Ministry of Architecture made this suggestion… He could tell that he was being pushed into a trap.

Zhou Huaijin met the King’s eyes and showed no expression.

He understood that he was falling into a trap, but he was willing to go to Xinzhou.

General Liu had woken up, but he was badly injured and he could not possibly go to the battlefield, nor was he going to be allowed to go to the battlefield either.

Almost all the military officers were at the border, and there was no one who was capable of taking over the position.

Under this circumstance, he would definitely go to the border. He cared about the civilians from Feng County and Ning County, and he hoped that he could keep Xinzhou so that the civilians could suffer less.

When wars happened, the civilians suffered the most.

Zhou Huaijin sighed and nodded. “I will take it.”

Hearing what Zhou Huaijin responded, the King showed no surprise. He nodded briefly.

He was going there no matter what his response was, but he was smart enough to follow orders, so trouble could be saved, or so the King believed.

Since Zhou Huaijin had already accepted the mission, he had nothing else to worry about. He asked Zhou Huaijin to bring some forces to Xinzhou and that would be all.

The King was still not very focused upon the border, despite the war happening between two countries, so soon the session came to an end.

After that, the King decided to check the position of the tombs just to see when the door to enchantment could be opened.

The officers and ministers at the court were dismissed as well.

Zhou Huaijin had no expression on his face as he walked outside.

Seeing Zhou Huaijin leaving, Zhou Huailing caught up with him and showed a strange smile. “Now you have gotten your errand too, Eighth Brother, and it is for the border! Father truly cares about you. Behave well, and you may get some more errands to do in the future.”

“…”

“But the North Qi is very ferocious, and Xinzhou is not very easy to guard. Eighth Brother, you have never seen the cruelty of war, so watch out.”

Zhou Huailing showed an ironic smile. He wondered whether his brother would be able to make it home, let alone being able to establish some achievements!

Zhou Huaijin turned to Zhou Huailing expressionlessly, seeing that Zhou Huailing was wearing a very strange smile, he squinted.

The Crown Prince of the country did not care about the civilians and the safety of the border, he only cared about how he could bring down his brothers…
