After roughly discussing the war between the two countries, the Zhao envoy rushed to Flying Dragon City.
The ministers had finally recovered from their excitement.
The State of Zhao looked down on the State of Chu from the bottom of their hearts. The only reason they sent an envoy to the State of Chu was for Su Guan, the Prince Consort.
The so-called alliance was just the wishful thinking of the Chu Country. A large country like the Chu Country had a vast territory and did not lack an ally like the Chu Country.
Su Manor.
In the quiet pavilion in the middle of the lake, Jiang Yanwan stared blankly at the lotus leaves floating on the surface of the lake. For some reason, uneasiness welled up in her heart.
" Your Majesty, you…" Xiao Wan 'er stood beside him and stared at the side profile of the Emperor's noble and cold face.
At the court meeting, His Majesty lost his composure.
This was the only time His Majesty had lost his composure since he ascended the throne!
"In ancient times, only extraordinary talents could achieve great things. I just don't want General Su to leave the Chu Country.”
Jiang Yanwan opened her red lips and explained coldly.
"Yes." Xiao Wan 'er nodded her delicate chin. She did not believe it at all.
His Majesty is avoiding the important and dallying with the trivial. Why did you say in public that I did not agree to General Su's marriage?
Thinking back to her previous intention to sacrifice herself for the country and marry Su Guan to win over this talent, she was also severely opposed by the Emperor.
Could it be…
Xiao Wan 'er's almond-shaped eyes were filled with shock.
His Majesty likes Young Master Su?
The Emperor, who was born proud and cold, would like a man?
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yanwan stared at her coldly, her gaze a little unnatural.
" No..." After spending so much time together, Xiao Wan 'er quickly noticed the Emperor's nervousness and quickly changed the topic.
"What if Young Master Su is persuaded by Emissary Zhao?”
Jiang Yanwan stood up and took small steps in the pavilion. The night breeze blew her black hair, and her thick eyelashes fluttered slightly.
The Emperor was silent. Xiao Wan 'er also lowered her eyes and lowered her eyebrows. Her eyes were gloomy.
Becoming the Prince Consort of the State of Zhao would give him a chance to fight for the Central Plains and become famous.
Who would be willing to stay in the weak Chu Country?
"Bring me a brush and ink." Jiang Yanwan said softly.
Xiao Wan 'er was stunned. She took a piece of paper from the piano table.
Jiang Yanwan stood quietly and hesitated for a long time, repeatedly choosing her words.
It couldn't be too abrupt, but it also had to express the meaning of urging him to stay.
Xiao Wan 'er didn't blink. She wanted to see what His Majesty wanted to say.
His Majesty, who had great talent and strategy, could easily review any complicated government memorials. In the face of internal rebellions, he could also calmly draft an edict.
But now, he had hesitated for a full fifteen minutes.
Jiang Yanwan held the pen and wrote a few elegant and powerful words:
"I still want to eat your dishes."
Her expression returned to its usual cold and aloof look." Send someone to send it over immediately.”
"Yes, sir." Xiao Wan 'er's expression was strange.
……
Canglan City, City Lord's Mansion.
"Immediately send troops to attack Flying Dragon City."
The man in white was expressionless as he looked down at Shangguan Rusong, who was kneeling on the ground.
Shangguan Rusong's expression trembled. He struggled to move his lips, but he dared not say what he wanted to say.
They were obviously cannon fodder!
The 10,000 surrendered soldiers he led would probably all be buried in the Flying Dragon Ancient City.
Su Eoliao was still so cruel and cold-blooded!
"Give him the antidote." Bai Yi looked at the guard beside him.
The guard took out ten black pills and threw them to Shangguan Rusong.
Shangguan Rusong felt as if he had found a treasure and quickly put it in his arms.
On the first day of surrender, Su E'Liao had given him poison, which would take effect every morning. His abdominal pain was so unbearable that it felt like it was being torn apart. Only by taking the antidote regularly could he relieve the pain.
He firmly believed that if he dared to rebel with the surrendered soldiers, he would definitely be tortured to death by the poison, which was more unbearable than being cut into pieces.
"I will take my leave." Shangguan Rusong adjusted his mood and his expression became serious.
He knew that his reputation in the Great Zhou was rotten to the core. If he returned, he would be criticized by thousands of people. He might as well work hard in Chu.
However, facing the famous Li Zheng Rong, he had no chance of winning.
Looking at the man's back as he left, Su Guan ordered the guard,"
"The 3,000 elites of Chu will follow behind the army and act as supervisors.”
With the nature of these captives, once they were defeated, they would surrender to Li Zheng Rong.
Su Guan wouldn't give them such a chance. Whoever dared to escape would be killed by the inspectors behind them.
"Understood!" The guard obeyed the order and left.
"General Su, the envoy of Zhao has come to visit.”The guards outside the manor reported that a dignified official was walking over with steady steps.
He first stared at Su Guan and nodded in satisfaction.
"General Su is graceful and handsome.”
Su Guan's eyes were calm as he said casually,"
"Emissary Zhao? What can I do for you?"
The emissary smiled and did not say anything. He took out a scroll from his sleeve. On the horizontal axis was a nine-clawed golden dragon, which was extremely noble.
"This is His Majesty's personal letter!" He faced the north and cupped his hands respectfully.
Su Guan took it and looked at it. His expression did not change as he asked lightly,"
"Prince Consort? The Ghost Kingdom's princess is willing to marry into the Chu Kingdom?”
Emissary Zhao was shocked, but he immediately denied,"
"Impossible!"
"The son-in-law is the live-in son-in-law. When General Su goes to Bianjing City, His Majesty will give him a mansion with fertile land and three thousand servants.”
What kind of joke is this? The reason why His Majesty took you in as his son-in-law is because he admires your talent. He wants you to have a grand plan in Zhao. How can he allow you to continue staying in Chu?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Su Guan refused with a smile.
If the princess was willing to marry him, he could accept it.
However, he was already familiar with Chu. He would go to the Qinhuai River to listen to music and chat with the noble and arrogant empress. This kind of life made him very satisfied.
He was unwilling to step out of this comfort zone.
It was impossible for him to go to Zhao.
" You..." Emissary Zhao's expression turned ugly. He had never expected the other party to reject him.
What a great blessing it was to become the emperor's son-in-law. What a great honor it was to be admired by His Majesty!
However, this person was arrogant and didn't know what was good for him.
"The Nine Prefectures is very big. The real hero stage is in the Central Plains, in the north!”
Emissary Zhao coldly reminded.
The Chu and Zhou countries were ultimately small scale battles. Such a battle of tens of thousands of soldiers was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the northern heroes. The northern countries often had 200,000 soldiers, or even 500,000!!
"Send the guests out."
Sensing the other party's incompetent rage, Su Guan said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful palace maid walked in and whispered,
"General Su, His Majesty's decree."
With that, he handed over the paper.
"Humph!" Emissary Zhao waved his sleeves and left.
Su Guan unfolded the paper and first noticed the dense ink drops. It seemed that the Emperor had thought for a long time before writing this sentence.
The following words made him chuckle.
This tsundere empress seemed a little cute?
"Your Majesty, I will." Su Guan looked at the palace maids.
The palace maid pecked her head and did not stay any longer to report back.
Su Guan's eyes were solemn as he folded the paper and put it in the drawer.
In the darkest part of his life, it was Jiang Yanwan who pulled him out of the abyss.
