"I grew accustomed to it with time," Chang Geng said quietly. "Last time, when I went to the Eastern Sea rebel army nest with yifu, that was truly a frightening situation. At that time, there were only a few of us being a burden around him, no one knew when the Navy would arrive, and there was no telling whether they could receive the news we sent out along the way. But even so, yifu was still talking and laughing like normal, then retreated safely in the end. At that time, I had understood one thing."

Shen Yi: "What?"

Chang Geng: "Fear is unreasonable."

Shen Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "Of course, everyone knows that fear is unreasonable, but it is like being hungry at a certain time and being cold when not wearing enough clothes. It is a natural reaction of the body. How can one restrain the natural reactions of their body?"

Chang Geng’s face showed a not so obvious smile: “It is possible.”

Shen Yi was startled, he suddenly had some kind inexplicable intuition, feeling that Chang Geng's words of 'it is possible' seemed to hide a much deeper meaning.

Chang Geng: "I believe that as long as you are willing, there is nothing in the world that can defeat you, including this mortal flesh.”

This sentence, although it sounded quite unremarkable, with Chang Geng’s attitude and firm tone, his determination created a strange enchantment, which made people become involuntarily convinced.

Shen Yi: "Your Royal Highness, last time you and Marshal were trapped in the Eastern Sea, there were dozens of Lin Yuan Pavilion masters around you. It can be said that both sides had assisted one another. But it is different this time. We only have one Officer Sun who only insists on implementing the Drumming Order, Inspector Kuai who doesn't harbor any good intentions, and that Fu Zhi Cheng who will soon march up the mountain - he has thousands of troops in his hand. Isn’t it much more dangerous than the last situation? Your Highness is not worried?”

Chang Geng calmly smiled and said: "I’m not worried. When I saw the battle flag of the Black Iron Camp in the attic, I instantly felt that there were three thousand Black Cavalries hidden in the Southwest mountain forest. I couldn't help but feel steady.”

Shen Yi was taken aback, then let out a bitter smile. He was breaking a sweat in Gu Yun's stead. Their family's little prince was not at all simple, he truly was a descendant of the dragon.

Chang Geng: "Didn't you know, General Shen? My yifu may not want to protect Fu Zhi Cheng wholeheartedly."

Shen Yi：“……”

This he did not know!
