The afternoon was quiet and the sun was blazing.
The waterside pavilion was comfortable and quiet. The empress and Xiao Wan 'er enjoyed the scenery by the lotus pond.
After waiting for a long time, Su Guan finally arrived. He brought a bowl of soft braised pork and green taro pastries.
Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly. She had never eaten fat meat, but Su Guan had been busy for so long that she had to eat.
"I'll have a taste."
She was expressionless as she picked up the smallest piece of fat. It was not as greasy as she had imagined. It was very tasty and the texture was very soft.
"How is it?" Su Guan asked expectantly. This was his specialty dish.
"It's just so-so." Jiang Yanwan's eyes twitched slightly.
Tsundere Queen, stop eating if you can…
Su Guan complained in his heart and picked up his own food. In fact, he liked it when the other party came to freeload.
After all, there were two more pairs of chopsticks. However, Empress Jiang was the number one beauty in Nine Regions. She was really a feast for the eyes.
"Delicious." Xiao Wan 'er's delicate nose slightly nodded. She was not stingy with her words of praise.
Jiang Yanwan's eyes were cold. She suddenly felt that Wan 'er was very redundant. She was considering whether to bring her along in the future.
At this moment, an Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Su Residence stood respectfully in the garden, not daring to approach.
"Excuse me for a moment." Su Guan stood up and walked over.
Without him, Xiao Wan 'er couldn't be bothered to be reserved and put a few pieces of red braised pork into her bowl.
Jiang Yanwan was still eating elegantly. This was her innate nobility.
"Supreme One, someone wants to see you."
The Embroidered Uniform Guards respectfully said in the garden, looking at Bi Wei behind them.
Bi Wei was travel-worn, his hair was scattered, and his head was lowered.
"Speak." Su Guan looked down at him calmly.
"His Majesty has a letter for Young Master Su." Bi Wei felt like he had been pardoned and quickly handed over the note.
Su Guan took it, opened it, and smiled silently."
"Chop him up."
Bi Wei turned pale with fright and screamed crazily for mercy.
"Young Master Su, I have been loyal to you for eight years. How can you be so heartless?”
Boom!
Caught off guard, the Embroidered Uniform Guards threw a punch and flipped him to the ground. Then, they dragged him out like a dead dog.
The commotion here disturbed the waterside pavilion. Xiao Wan 'er stood up and said gently,
"What happened?"
Su Guan was silent for a while before he walked over and handed her the note.
Xiao Wan 'er subconsciously felt a sense of foreboding after reading it. Her jade-like cheeks were solemn as she stared at Su Guan.
Jiang Yanwan noticed the contents of the note, but she remained calm and asked,"
"Will you assassinate me?"
"I won't." Su Guan sat down calmly.
He clearly understood that Wu Mingyue's beauty was overshadowed by Empress Jiang's beauty.
Sometimes, he even suspected that Wu Mingyue was out of her mind. She was immersed in her own spiritual world and thought that she was a god of the Nine Provinces.
How could she make such an absurd request?
Jiang Yanwan said calmly,"
"This Great Zhou Empress seems to be very confident in herself?”
"Who knows?" Su Guan smiled.
Betrayal was like a brand. Time would fade the impact of it, but the pain at that time was deeply engraved in his heart.
He only knew revenge.
He would never be able to turn back.
He had to trample Wu Mingyue under his feet.
As if she could read his mind, Jiang Yanwan retracted her gaze and said coldly,"
"I promise you that I will send troops today to recover Canglan City!”
Her heart was not as calm as it seemed.
In fact, she was jealous too. She was jealous that Wu Mingyue, a useless and ridiculous woman, could have Su Guan for eight years without cherishing him!
"After taking down Canglan City, will you leave Chu?”
Jiang Yanwan looked at him calmly, her graceful eyes filled with undetectable nervousness and hesitation.
Xiao Wan 'er couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"I won't." Su Guan shook his head.
Although his tone was casual, it was filled with determination.
Jiang Yanwan didn't say anything else, as if she had finished a long-standing worry. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said in a low voice,
"The dishes are delicious."
……
The next day in court.
The ministers lined up, and the atmosphere was solemn.
The sound of light footsteps could be heard as a group of maids escorted Empress Jiang into the palace.
The ministers saluted and said in unison,"Welcome, Your Majesty."”
"Rise."
Jiang Yanwan sat down on the throne, her flawless cheeks serious. She said in a deep voice,"
"I want to announce something. After much consideration, I have decided to send troops to recover Canglan City!”
Silence!
The court was silent.
The ministers were excited. They had been waiting for this edict for a long time, and it had finally arrived.
Losing Canglan City was a humiliation for every citizen of Chu. When they thought of being occupied and ruled by Zhou Country, the officials hated it to the point of going crazy. After they died, they were too ashamed to face their ancestors!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers were in high spirits, and almost no one objected.
But the next moment, the atmosphere changed.
"Su Guan will lead the army."
A cold and dignified voice sounded from the throne.
Boom!
It was as if a huge rock had fallen into the bottom of the lake, setting off a huge wave, one wave after another.
The ministers 'bodies stiffened, and they stood motionless like statues. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Crazy!
Absolutely preposterous!
"Your Majesty, don't joke about military affairs.”
Prime Minister Zhang Taiyue was the first to step forward. He, who had always been as calm as a mountain, had a rare look of panic on his face.
Was Su Guan talented?
There was no doubt that the song " Immortal of Linjiang " had spread throughout the land of the Nine Prefectures.
Su Guan's martial arts were also unquestionable.
But that was a war!
A layman who didn't know any military strategy actually participated in a war with tens of thousands of people?
This was simply nonsense!
