653 277: If you're heartless, I'll be unrighteous_2

Duke Zheng's mouth twitched, that old cunning and treacherous Wang Yanxiu!

He knew that in the end, he would still be the one to wrap things up.

Since Prime Minister Wang had already spoken, Duke Zheng certainly could not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if we send reinforcements, who will command the three armies? Although I am willing to share your worries, my old illness has relapsed, and I am afraid I may not be able to embark on a long expedition. My life is not worth much, but I am afraid of delaying your Majesty's grand plan."

With Duke Zheng's words out, the court couldn't help but be filled with discussion, especially among the civilian officials who still thought that this time the commander would be Duke Zheng. After all, it was him last time, and this time they guessed it would still be him.
