Bai Mowan's words echoed throughout the grand hall.
Xiao Jinxing's eyes were cold.
"My father guarded the border for many years for the peace and stability of the Daxuan Kingdom. Even a month before his death, he remained stationed at Gujiang City. My father knew well that only his presence at the border could use his authority to deter foreign invaders and prevent the outbreak of war! Even though the war with Beimu Country was a great victory, countless warriors shed their blood on the battlefield, and the city was filled with bones! If it weren't for the Emperor's command for my father to return, he would have steadfastly stayed there until death, dying in a foreign land!" Bai Mowan spoke with righteous indignation.
She looked at Xiao Jinxing's distant back, her heart's discontent growing stronger.
