Before entering the tent to sleep.
Su Che added more firewood to the bonfire.
Let it burn a little longer.
In nature, wild beasts were afraid of fire because they could not conquer it.
However, humans, who were also evolved from animals, could use fire reasonably.
Su Che wasn't afraid of these beasts.
For example, he had fought tigers before.
He was mainly worried that if a beast came, it would scare Wenren Muyue.
Although Su Che was a general, he was a brave warrior on the battlefield, a god of war who could fight against hundreds of enemies!
In the court, he was also decisive in killing. He would never show mercy to those corrupt officials and treacherous officials.
With a raise of his hand and a slash of his knife, he was a corrupt official's head.
But when he became gentle, he did not hesitate.
It was just that ordinary people did not have the fortune to enjoy it.
……
After Su Che entered the tent, he soon fell asleep.
Even though they felt like they were escaping.
However, this did not affect his sleep.
On the other hand, Zhao Yinman and the ministers of Chu weren't having such a comfortable time.
Many people could not sleep at night.
For example, Prime Minister Li Yu.
He originally thought that after getting rid of Su Che, the biggest threat, the imperial court would be his.
But now he knew.
Su Che's departure had such a huge impact on Chu.
He went to the army to inspect.
However, the General Xiao Xun, who was in charge of the city guards, did not buy it.
Her attitude towards him was also extremely cold.
He felt like he was just short of beating him out of the military camp with a stick.
One had to know that Li Yu was the current Prime Minister, the head of all officials!
And this city's Xiao Xun was only a Rank Three.
She dared to be arrogant towards him.
This made Li Yu extremely angry.
Xiao Xun used to have Su Che as his backing.
Indeed, she could not put him, the prime minister, in her eyes.
But now, Su Che was gone.
Logically speaking, Xiao Xun should have understood the situation.
However, he did not follow Li Yu's plan.
Originally, Li Yu had wanted to capture Xiao Xun, and at that time, he would casually charge him with a crime, demote him to an ordinary soldier, and send him to the border to be cannon fodder.
However, just as he was about to do so, his subordinate ran over and told him.
Just now.
The Divine Martial General Chai Jin and the Defender General Shen Lang had already led the army back to the Imperial City. They were on their way to the palace to meet the Emperor.
Hearing this news, Li Yu was shocked.
Immediately, he gave up on the idea of dealing with Xiao Xun.
There was no other reason.
Chai Jin and Shen Lang were Su Che's trusted aides.
Both of them were second-rank generals.
Moreover, from their titles, it could be seen that they were the pillars of the Chu army.
Li Yu had predicted that they would return because of Su Che, but she didn't expect them to come so quickly.
"Bastard, these people really only have Su Che in their eyes. They don't even care about His Majesty.”
Looking at Xiao Xun's cold face, Li Yu could only swallow his anger.
He realized that he had underestimated their loyalty to Su Che.
Li Yu originally thought that after Su Che's downfall, no matter how dissatisfied these people were, they would draw a clear line with him and protect themselves.
It was said that when a couple was in trouble, they would fly away.
Not to mention brotherhood.
In the face of benefits and life and death, what did brotherhood mean?
However, who would have thought…
Not only did Chai Jin, Shen Lang, and the others not do that, but they also wanted to seek justice for Su Che.
Fortunately, Li Yu had thought of a countermeasure beforehand.
Otherwise, with Su Che's prestige in the military, this matter would be difficult to handle.
"Has the Protector Duke not returned yet?"
After leaving the military camp, Li Yu asked in a deep voice with a dark face.
"Lord Zhao is still on his way back. He should be able to arrive tonight.”
The subordinate quickly replied.
"Yes."
Hearing this news, Li Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
No matter how much he disliked Su Che, it couldn't change the fact that Su Che's power and prestige in Chu was unmatched.
Therefore, after taking down Su Che, it would take some effort to calm the situation down.
The Duke Protector, Zhao Mengfu, was the most crucial part of Li Yu's plan.
Zhao Mengfu could definitely be considered a famous general.
In his early years, he worked under Su Che's father, Su Jing, and was famous for his bravery.
After Su Jing died in battle, Zhao Mengfu followed Su Che to battle in the south and north. He was a brave general who could take the head of an enemy general in an army of ten thousand horses.
Zhao Mengfu had outstanding military achievements, so when he returned with Su Che, he was also conferred the title of Duke Protector by the empress.
From the words 'Duke Protector', it could be seen that the empress valued him greatly.
One of the most important reasons for this was that Zhao Mengfu had the blood of the royal family flowing in his veins.
She was also a member of the Zhao family like the empress.
This was also why Zhao Mengfu had such a deep relationship with the Su family, and he was Su Che's sworn brother. However, he was still useful to the empress at this time.
Li Yu placed all his hopes on Zhao Mengfu.
After all, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation if Su Che's accident didn't involve a powerful figure.
No matter how one looked at it, Zhao Mengfu was the best choice.
