"Isn't Prince De still there?" Qian Jiyun reminded him with a smile.
"Prince De…" Eldest Brother Yan wondered if he should curse aloud.
Prince De was a little cunning, but so what? Could they rely on Prince De to hold off thousands of troops and defend the southern border?
That was the southern border in question, and beyond it were the strongest enemies!
"Do you really think Prince De is reliable?" he asked.
"Prince De is unreliable, but don't we still have the 18 Stockaded Villages? Guarding the southern border is not a problem," Qian Jiyun said.
"The 18 Stockaded Villages?" Eldest Brother Yan could not help but roll his eyes.
Was Qian Jiyun expecting Prince De to subdue the 18 Stockaded Villages? Prince De would be better off guarding the southern border alone.
No one in the 18 Stockaded Villages would submit to the royal family. Otherwise, they would have been subdued long ago.
