Jiang Wang saw Ling Hua pull out the Commander's Seal given by His Majesty and gasped.
He had not expected that His Majesty would actually give her the Commander's Seal for her trip to Caojun. He had been thinking that the Green Forest's detention of thirty grain transport ships was a significant matter, and His Majesty would certainly not take it lightly, but he had not anticipated that His Majesty would give Ling Hua the Commander's Seal.
He had thought that if Ling Hua came to him asking for troops without a secret imperial decree or a Tiger Talisman, it would put him in a difficult position. If he dispatched troops privately, no matter how big or small the issue became, as the Capital Commandant of Caojun, he was supposed to follow the orders of His Majesty and the Court, not Ling Hua's. If he listened to Ling Hua and moved the troops on his own, the emperor would definitely hold him accountable, and the consequences would be severe.
