Caleb and the Cursed Kitchen Chapter 67

The palace's luxurious carriage was running very steadily on the official road, and there was almost no shaking on the road.

The man in front of me was leaning against the wall of the carriage, with one knee slightly bent and the other foot hanging naturally, with a rare look of relaxation, like a lazy beast after a full meal, exuding a dangerous charm.

"This trip to the north to suppress bandits is not just to suppress ordinary mountain bandits, but to suppress the bandit army of Beiyou State, which is connected to the northern border of our dynasty. They have colluded with local bandits in the northern border and have been harassing towns in the northern border for several years. This has become a chronic problem."

"The imperial power has limited deterrence on the border areas. The border guards in the north are lazy and neglect their duties. They only care about protecting themselves. The soldiers are not under the command of the generals. No one can properly command the border troops in the north."
