In the imperial study in the palace.
Jiang Ziyu was reviewing the memorials with Jiang Xiu standing at his side. As he looked at the memorials that Jiang Ziyu had reviewed, a White-robed Guard came in and presented a secret letter.
Jiang Xiu took it and handed it to Jiang Ziyu.
Jiang Ziyu opened the letter and his expression darkened. He said, "Continue with the investigation."
"Yes!"
The White-robed Guard left.
Jiang Xiu was curious about what was written in the secret letter. Jiang Ziyu noticed his gaze and handed the letter to him. After he read it, his face turned pale and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
His hands were trembling. He looked at Jiang Ziyu and asked in a trembling voice, "Father… do we really have a chance of winning if Great Jing were to face against nine dynasties?"
Jiang Ziyu asked expressionlessly, "Do you think you have no chance of winning? If you were the emperor, what would you do now?"
