Prince Yang Lu smiled at his wife and waved his hand, asking his servants to prepare a horse. At the very least, he had to know what kind of work that he needed to do while his older brother headed to the battlefield.
At the back, Princess Mu Fei Xin watched her husband walked away, her fingers clenched into a fist. She was worried about him.
Being part of the Imperial Family is not easy.
Even when they were doing nothing, there will be things that were thrown to their faces and asked them to do. She hoped that nothing bad will happen.

<Shangguan Yu's Residence>
Shangguan Yu looked at the Imperial Edict in his hand and silently wondered whether the Emperor's head was kicked by donkey or something. As a prince with different surname, it could be said that he was married into the Imperial Family.
Normally, he would have little to no power. Even now, his position in the ministry was fairly low.
People were only giving him face because of his status as the Imperial Family's son in law.
"How interesting."
Playing with the Imperial Edict for a while, Shangguan Yu sighed. Now that he was asked to help, how could he back down? First of all, he had to interact with Prince Yang Lu and then discuss their work together.
…
In the palace, the two princes finally met with each other. It was not their first time seeing each other, but after Shangguan Yu's marriage, it was indeed the first time. After all, the two of them would not bother with each other if it was unnecessary.
"Imperial Younger Brother, shall we go inside?" Prince Yang Lu asked first.
Shangguan Yu's lips twitched a bit when he heard the address. Because of his age, he was technically their younger brother, so they called him with didi (A/N: didi meant younger brother while gege meant older brother).
Even though he was not much younger than Prince Yang Lu, it was still the truth that he was younger by a few months.
"I was not used with this matter, so I have to ask Imperial Older Brother to help."
"I'm not used with it either." Prince Yang Lu showed a harmless smile. "There will be other officials who come to help us. We can ask for their advices."
"Yes." Shangguan Yu nodded.
The two of them fell silent and then decided to just go and head over to do their work. Internally, both of them were silently scolding Emperor Yang Zhou for throwing such an important matter on their lap.
Didn't he know that they didn't know the work at all?
But even if they have a lot of complaints, neither dared to show it on their faces and did the work that they had to do.
When the two princes walked inside, Prime Minister Lan also arrived in the palace and looked at the grand palace in front of him helplessly. He received the order and nearly chocked on his food.
Who would have thought that the Heaven favor them so much?
But even then, it wouldn't be easy to wage war against Zhang Xu Kingdom.
There were a lot of things that required preparation and so on. As the person pointed to take care of the matter in the palace regarding other matter aside from war, Prime Minister Lan knew that he had a lot of work on his table.
"Song Chuan, help me to bring the work inside," Prime Minister Lan gave his order and walked inside briskly.
Song Chuan, who was called to work just when he was enjoying his wife's care, looked at Prime Minister Lan with black face. He had been longing for this winter break because he could snuggle with his wife all day long.
For this, he even sent his son to study and not disturb the two of them.
Who would have thought that an earthquake happened in Zhang Xu Kingdom and he was called for work?
He felt miserable.
But what could he do but to acknowledge that he had more work to do?
"Yes, Prime Minister Lan." Song Chuan cupped his fist.
Prime Minister Lan didn't seem to listen to his words as he had already entered the palace. His steps left mark on the snowy ground.
Song Chuan looked at Prime Minister Lan's back and silently made his way to the office to fetch the relevant work. When Long Qian Xing got back later, he will ask for a raise in his position. With his work so far, he should have long been promoted.
If not for that stinky Long Qian Xing's request to have him keep a low profile, he would have long showed more of his capabilities.

<Frontline, Three Point Cities, Feng Ao Kuai's location>
As the relevant personnel, Feng Ao Kuai received news that he would be deployed for war very quickly. In fact, he had already guessed as much from the moment he felt the earth shook and the tremor was bigger in Zhang Xu Kingdom.
andasnovel.com The source of this earthquake was from Zhang Xu Kingdom.
As the kingdom that had been at odds with Zhang Xu Kingdom for a long time, would it be possible for Fei Yang Kingdom to stay silent?
Unless they were idiots, there was no possibility such thing happened.
"There will be three fronts, huh?" Feng Ao Kuai looked at the scroll handed to him. The news there were encrypted, but he could crack them very quickly.
Three fronts led by three different generals.
Five generals would be deployed for this war and one Great General named Great General Wei.
The other generals were at the other frontline and had to defend against others, so it was impossible to call for them. Anyway, there will be chance to collaborate with them in the future.
"General Wei and General Cao will be at the northwest frontline while we're from three point cities with General Xing and General Chi leading." Feng Ao Kuai looked at the name and chuckled. "I guess she will come here too."
Since Long Qian Xing is here, it was estimated that Nan Hua will also come here. If the two of them were to collaborate openly, Feng Ao Kuai wondered what could they actually achieve.
