Jun Lanxin feigned reluctance, and Misha understood her intentions all too well. This old woman was unwilling to provide him with too many troops, wanting to reserve the majority to maintain the safety of the royal family. If Misha were to end up like Du Yi, not returning from his mission, wouldn't they have lost a significant troop force?
"Let's stick with what the Emperor suggested just now. Five thousand troops are enough! Quality is more important than quantity!" Misha gave a gentle smile, he did not want more troops after all. With more men, they would be a bigger target, more conspicuous, and word might get out before they even reached Minzhou. He planned to arrive in Minzhou without anyone noticing and catch Feng Qiqi by surprise with a sudden attack, he was sure she would be very, very shocked.
Misha's "understanding" left Jun Lanxin at a loss for words. "Fine! I'll grant it to you!" she finally agreed.
