Chapter 161 Facing a Formidable Enemy

Upon hearing these words, Du Chenzhi knew it was all over!

True, he held the Military Token of Jiangnan Road in his hand, but deploying troops was a major military affair, and any slip-up was more than a minor City Lord like him could bear!

Men blinded by love, indeed, were utterly unreasonable!

While Du Chenzhi thought so, he couldn't help but struggle a bit more, hence he spoke again with a flattering and cautious demeanor, "Your Highness, why don't you take this Military Token away?"

After all, it was prepared by your Imperial Grandfather; it's a hot potato for a Civil Official like me to hold on to, improper in name and speech, not to mention the unnecessary risks. Early or late, I have to hand it over, and the sooner the better!
