"This humble general, Liu Bincheng, Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, pays respects to General Su!" "Paying respects to General Su!" "Paying respects to General Su!" From inside the camp, the soldiers present shouted in unison. Faced with such a welcome, Su Zhenting was not pleased; instead, his expression changed slightly. He immediately looked at Li Chen and said, "Your Highness..." "It's alright," Li Chen said calmly. "I don't take such divisive tricks seriously." Su Zhenting felt slightly relieved, then he shouted at Liu Bincheng, "Liu Bincheng, didn't you see His Highness the Crown Prince here?!" Liu Bincheng cupped his hands and said calmly, "This humble general only knows the descendant of the God of War, not any Crown Prince." "Besides, this humble general doesn't know the Crown Prince either. If you want this humble general to admit it, please have the Crown Prince show the Emperor's edict so we can verify it before this humble general dares to admit it." Li Chen laughed upon hearing this, but although he was laughing, the murderous intent in his eyes was boiling. "Liu Bincheng, do you think I'm here to your Imperial Guard's Northern Camp with the imperial edict appointing me?" Li Chen raised her voice, shouting, "Six years ago, I was appointed Crown Prince, and my father already proclaimed the edict to the world. You, a mere deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, dare to disown me? What, are you plotting a rebellion?"
