"Minister Yang, I'm afraid they think you intend to monopolize all the credit for pacifying the Demon Realm,"
he said to Yang Jing with a wry smile.
"We've only advanced seven li, and they're already scheming against each other, fighting for merit and personal gain. What a bunch of vermin."
Yang Jing's face was full of disdain. He hadn't expected the three Capital City Commanders to be so short-sighted.
He had, of course, seen through their intentions. If they combined their forces and advanced together, the four of them would simply be following his orders, earning them only a bit of credit for their hard work.
