We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

First of all, it must be stated that Tuoba Dao looked down on scholars.

But when he saw Zhou Tiancheng, he inexplicably felt completely suppressed.

His strength is not reflected in his physique or physical power, but in a kind of aura.

It was this very temperament that made Tuoba Dao put away his cynical ambition.

It's very likely because he saw a lot of things.

He saw a tall man who was extremely respectful when facing Zhou Tiancheng; that was Su Xiu.

He also saw a familiar young soldier with a sword at his waist, chatting and laughing with Zhou Tiancheng, but there was also a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. That was Xinhua.

Tuoba Dao was confident that he could fight Su Xiu, and on the battlefield, he might not be any worse than Xinhua.

Yet, the person he had to be wary of showed genuine respect for Zhou Tiancheng.

At that moment, Tuoba Dao felt a sense of awe towards Zhou Tiancheng.

At this moment, Tuoba Dao was somewhat frightened when faced with Zhou Tiancheng's question.

He didn't mention Tuoba Zheng's matter; instead, he immediately began to defend himself.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I once flirted with His Majesty, but it was not out of lust. I simply wanted to put pressure on His Majesty and take the throne of Northern Xia. Unfortunately, I failed."

Zhou Tiancheng was taken aback, stopped what he was doing, and carefully examined the Northern Xia general in front of him.

Why are you telling me this?

Tuoba Dao was somewhat embarrassed.

"After all, His Majesty is carrying His Highness's child. If I don't speak up today, I'll never have the chance to say anything again."

Zhou Tiancheng laughed heartily and finally stood up.

"I thought you were just a simple-minded brute, but it seems you're quite interesting."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Come with me."

Tuoba Dao breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind Zhou Tiancheng.

"Where does Your Highness wish to go?"

Zhou Tiancheng turned around and glanced at him.

"Where else can we go?"

"Since you're willing to come to Daqian in person to apologize, doesn't that represent some of the attitude of Beixia?"

"Of course I will show you the strength of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"There is still hope for Northern Xia. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not necessary for the country to perish."

At this point, Zhou Tiancheng sighed.

"In retrospect, it is you Northern Xia who are more cunning. You sent your own emperor as a pawn, and with a honey trap, you forced me to flee from the capital to the northern frontier. I even had to rack my brains to find a way out for you."

"The child hasn't even been born yet, and he's already slept off several strands of his father's hair. When he's born, I'll want to give him a good beating first."

Speaking of this, Zhou Tiancheng was clearly a little depressed.

Tuoba Dao was taken aback.

Is there any hope for Northern Xia?

Why did they join the Daqian dynasty?

They believed that Northern Xia had no chance, and they even wanted to join the Great Qian Dynasty as a whole, enter the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty, and use the cities of the Great Qian Dynasty as defenses.

The cost, however, is that they may have to sacrifice some of their military and political power, and they will also be subject to supervision in the northern border region.

But now, the Crown Prince of Daqian is saying that there is hope for Northern Xia?

Tuoba Dao found it hard to believe!

He asked a question, his voice trembling.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Zhou Tiancheng sighed.

"For the sake of my own children, I cannot watch your Northern Xia perish."

"If Northern Xia can still exist, even if I can't become the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty in the future, I can still become the retired emperor of Northern Xia."

Tuoba Dao took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Tiancheng, and immediately spoke.

"Then I will be the sharpest blade in your hand!"

Zhou Tiancheng was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

He had been in Daqian for so long, and he had never experienced a situation where heroes from all over the world would bow down and worship him.

This is the first time.

But I must say, it felt pretty good.

"You little brat, you're so sensible!"

Tuoba Dao nodded seriously.

"There are many talented people in the world, and I know that. My talent is not top-notch. Now that I can't be the emperor of Northern Xia, I should at least be the most powerful general in the world."

"Su Xiu is tall and strong. I have fought him on the battlefield, and I acknowledge his combat prowess."

"Xinhua has faced off against me before, and I acknowledge his leadership abilities."

"Their respect for Your Highness is genuine, which shows that Your Highness's abilities are worthy of their trust and following. What reason do I have to refuse?"

Tuoba Dao knew very well that if he wanted to surrender, he had to show his sincerity.

He spoke his mind frankly, his face open and honest, hoping that the Crown Prince would be less suspicious of him.

Zhou Tiancheng glanced at him in surprise, then smiled and nodded.

"You're quite honest."

"Alright, enough nonsense, come with me to the National Protection Army."

"By the way, didn't quite a few people from Northern Xia come here? Go and call them to go and check on the National Protection Army."

"Speaking of which, the National Protection Army now has a total of 80,000 men, which is quite rare to see them all gathered together. It's a pity that several thousand died in battle recently, leaving more than 70,000 men. If you have any ideas, you can bring your troops to join us."

Tuoba Dao immediately understood that this was Zhou Tiancheng expressing his stance to him.

Similarly, he will become Zhou Tiancheng's spokesperson in Beixia!

In other words, with him protecting Tuoba Zheng, the court officials of Northern Xia would have to think twice.

By the time he summoned his men and brought them to Zhou Tiancheng, Zhou Tiancheng had already been waiting for a while.

Upon seeing the group approach, Zhou Tiancheng waved to Tuoba Dao, signaling him to follow him. They then entered the Protectorate Army's camp together.

At this hour, the National Protection Army should have been training.

However, because the envoy from Northern Xia had arrived, and the news had been sent in advance, this day was set aside specifically for the National Protection Army's military parade.

Those who watched the event together included Tuoba Dao and several other Northern Xia people, as well as Lin Tong and other high-ranking generals from the Northern Frontier, and representatives of some military officers from the Northern Frontier.

Because after today, the National Protection Army will send instructors to various armies to conduct training, and this military parade is also a reference answer to tell the soldiers under its command what training should look like!

Therefore, not only were Tuoba Dao and his men curious, but even some of the generals were also curious.

Just how powerful was the National Protection Army?

The answer came out quickly.

Everyone took their seats.

The first to emerge was the First Battalion of the First Army Corps.

The one leading the team was none other than Xiao Shi.

"The reconnaissance battalion issues a question to General Lin, Commander of the Northern Frontier Military Commission!"

"The reconnaissance battalion sends its greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty! His Highness is awesome!"

Accompanied by Xiao Shiyi's angry roar, all five hundred soldiers of the battalion roared in unison.

Zhou Tiancheng, who was drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of tea.

Who taught it?

Damn it, they've even used the word "awesome"?

Zhou Tiancheng swore that he had only used that word in private with Xinhua and Xiao Shi!

But at the moment.

No one paid any attention to Zhou Tiancheng; everyone was staring at the reconnaissance battalion in front of them, their faces filled with shock.

Is this the National Protection Army?

Why were they so shocked?

Because everyone was dressed in very neat clothes and armor, and all their steps were in unison, as if they were all walking in one step. Even the height at which they raised their hands and feet was the same!

What terrified them most were the warhorses!

The warhorses moved in unison!

This level of execution, unity, and even the warhorses are all included!
