    It was rare for Shen Qiu to say that. Shen Xin frowned and asked, “Jiaojiao, what are you trying to say?”


    “Since the Shen army is no longer ours, let’s abandon it. How about giving up?” Shen Miao said.


    “Jiaojiao!” Luo Xueyan stopped her. Suddenly, she felt that her tone was too harsh, so she quickly softened. “The Shen army was nurtured by your father alone. There are countless trusted aides among them. How can it be easy to give up? They’re all ourrades on the battlefield. This… is impossible.”


    “Then what are your ns, Father?” Shen Miao asked, “Are you going to endure it like this? If you endure it, you might be able to wait for a good opportunity, but if someone tries to bring you down, you won’t even be able to fight back.”


    Shen Xin stared at Shen Miao, as if he couldn’t recognize his daughter. He asked thoughtfully, “Jiaojiao, what do you think we should do?”


    Shen Miao’s eyes were shockingly bright. “Father, if you can nurture one army, why can’t you nurture another one?”


    Shen Xin was stunned at first, then heughed out loud and stroked Shen Miao’s head, as if what Shen Miao said made him happy. He said, “You are indeed still a young girl. Where are the soldiers needed to form an army?” At the end of his sentence, there was a hint of sadness in his voice.


    The Shen army was like a child raised by Shen Xin. How could he exin the pain of losing his child?


    Shen Miao smiled faintly. “Then, what about the Luo family?”


    Shen Xin’s smile disappeared. Luo Xueyan and Shen Qiu thought of something at the same time and their gazes immediatelynded on Shen Miao.


    Shen Miao said slowly, “Doesn’t grandfather still have a group of soldiers under hismand? Although they can’tpare to the Shen army as of now, if you train them well, they might be the next Shen army.”


    The Luo family was also a military family, but they were declining day by day. It was true that they had soldiers under them, butter, when Shen Xin was stationed in the northwest, the soldiers of the Luo family in Spring City retired as they weren’t needed. Over the years, they were no different from ordinary people.


    “That won’t do.” The Shen family had been loyal to the emperor and patriotic for so many years. It was their instinct to serve the emperor. Shen Miao’s words could even be considered treacherous. Raising soldiers in a ce that the emperor did not know…” Luo Xueyan said, “Jiaojiao, this is not a joking matter.” She did not know how to exin to Shen Miao how much the royal family hated generals who had soldiers. How could a little girl like Shen Miao understand?


    Shen Qiu, who was very quiet, said, “Sister, do you want to rece the Shen army with the Luo army?”


    “It’s not really a recement.” Shen Miao smiled. “It’s just that Father is a general after all. He can’t have no soldier by his side. He naturally has to have followers. In that case, what’s so bad about using the Luo army? With the Luo army, Father can protect us all.”


    Luo Xueyan felt that what Shen Miao said today was really unbelievable. When she looked up, she saw Shen Xin frowning, as if he was seriously thinking about Shen Miao’s words.


    Shen Xin looked at Shen Miao and deliberately asked, “Jiaojiao, you’re right, but the Luo army is far away in Spring City. How are we going to get there?”


    “That will depend on you.” Shen Miao smiled at him. “Perhaps you can give it a try and tell His Majesty that you want to retreat to the northwest and volunteer to guard Spring City.”


    Shen Xin and the other two were stunned again.


    Spring City was a small city at the northwest border, thousands of miles away from the capital. If Shen Xin really made this request, everyone would think that this mighty general was disheartened because he lost his military power and wanted to escape far away. As for his reputation as the mighty general, it would slowly be wiped off by time.


    Shen Xin widened his eyes. “This is a retreat. No!”


    “Father, what are you afraid of? The retreat is for the sake of advancing.” Shen Miao did not back down at all. For the first time, her eyes, which had always been calm and clear, looked like they were provocative. “Are you afraid of not being able to recover from the setback, afraid of retreating again and again and having no way to retreat, or are you afraid that time will pass quickly and you won’t be able to bring the Shen family back to its former glory?”


    These questions made Shen Xin’s heart tighten. Not only Shen Xin, but Luo Xueyan and Shen Qiu were also stunned. Shen Xin stared at Shen Miao. He suddenly realized that this delicate and soft-looking daughter seemed to have inherited the tenacity and boldness in his bones.


    “Besides.” Shen Miao chuckled. “In two years, His Majesty will definitely summon Father back to the capital. The day you are summoned back to the capital will be the day you win back the glory that is yours.”
