"Such is the situation akin to trapping a turtle in a jar, slowly advancing, in ten years if fast, in thirty if slow, the borders of Great Qin will inevitably expand onto the grasslands. With such a skilled warrior of Jianghu and also the defending general who is the descendant of an imperial court's famous general, the Western Regions will become calmer day by day."
At this moment, Li Yuankai has already reacted, saying:
"For a frontier official to be at odds with the emperor's relatives is a major taboo in the court..."
Shangguan Hong responded:
"Indeed."
"Besides, His Majesty is the brother of Thousand-Year Prince, and the Thousand-Year Prince grew up in Heaven Capital City in his youth, managing the East Sea for decades, having old ties with many dignitaries in the Capital City, known as a hero or schemer in Jianghu. Once entering the Imperial Court, he follows its rules, as if a thousand locks holds him steady, preventing reckless moves."
