Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Being your husband is your way out
The next day, Su Su woke up when Shen Rang and Hesheli and his group left.
Last night's 'storm' was really...too intense.
He deliberately did not wake Su Su up until he was about to leave.
"Are we about to set off?" Su Su looked at Chen Rang with sleepy eyes, supporting her sore body.
"That's right," Chen Rang stroked her hair lovingly and advised, "When I'm not around, you should control your temper."
Yuan Susu bit her lip and said stubbornly, "Do I have a bad temper? I'm obviously very well behaved."
Chen Rang chuckled and kissed her softly: "Then I'll leave. Just go ahead and do it. If it really comes to the point where it's too late to turn back..."
He paused and said, "My husband has left a way out for you."
Suddenly, these words made Susu's nose sore and her eyes moist.
Tears fell onto Shen Rang's palm, and the warm tears melted into his palm.
Yu Shu's urging voice came from outside the tent: "Master, it's getting late."
Yuan Susu hurriedly lifted the quilt to change clothes and went to see Chen Rang off.
Chen Rang stopped Su Su, raised his hand affectionately to wipe away Su Su's tears, and pinched the flesh on Su Su's cheek that he had worked so hard to grow.
"Don't send me off. It's too cold outside. Just wait for me to come back, Susu."
After Chen Rang left, Su Su suddenly felt a void in her heart.
In this vast Liangzhou, she seemed to have no one to rely on.
Seeing her prince so distraught, Aunt Jin comforted him, "Don't worry, your highness. You've seen Lord Shen's methods before. He won't make any mistakes."
Yuan Susu also suppressed her fear of facing Liangzhou Wei alone. She looked at herself in the mirror, and the light and shadow changed...
The bronze mirror reflected her very familiar face, but there was always a hint of strangeness in her eyebrows and eyes.
Yuan Susu was mesmerized as she watched, as if she could see the person in the bronze mirror suddenly raise his eyebrows and narrow his eyes, with majesty and ruthlessness slowly overflowing from his pupils.
The white fur of the fox fur surrounded her beautiful face, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
It is the determination to win, the ambition that cannot be concealed, and the thirst for power.
"Your Highness?" Aunt Jin called out suddenly.
Suddenly, Susu gasped and pulled herself out of the bronze mirror.
Aunt Jin asked with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Su Su waved her hands and shook her head. She just...
I just vaguely saw the woman who once stirred up bloody storms in the court and covered the sky with one hand.
When she looked into the mirror again, it was still her own face.
Guess... I was overthinking it.
Yuan Susu thought she was still adhering to the self-cultivation of an extra, and secretly scolded herself: This damn desire of mine to perform is so inappropriate and yet it is rising! !
Shen Rang and Su Su had talked about the Eagle Master.
Alejiang, a special soldier of the Eagle Division, has a life-and-death friendship with Hesheli, and he will fight to the death for Hesheli.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to persuade him to rebel.
So instead of intervening and arousing suspicion, it is better to strike at the target from a distance.
At present, Li Chongshan, a special agent of the Tiger Division in Liangzhou Wei, is the most arrogant. Hesheli is a strong opponent, and the Tiger Division is a little afraid of him.
But now that Hesheli has left, the Eagle Master has become the target of public criticism.
Yuan Susu doesn't need to do it herself, she just needs to add fuel to the fire at the right time.
Naturally, some people would try to find ways to break Hesheli's left and right arms.
What's more, even if Prince Anyang was still there, after rescuing him and returning to Liangzhou.
Given the prince's personality, would he be so willing to swallow humiliation?
I am afraid that when we have to raise an army to attack Shangjing, no one among the six tribes of Liangzhou Guard will be willing to continue fighting.
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to kill the Eagle Division Special Forces and recruit the remaining soldiers, and wait for the moment when the prince and Hesheli step into Liangzhou Guard.
They would then behead him on the spot and present his head to Your Majesty as a token of their loyalty.
That's just how human nature is.
In this world, people’s hearts are too cold.
Where does the so-called loyalty and righteousness come from?
All we have is the selfishness, greed, anger and ignorance of the world.
What's more, since King Anyang was seriously injured in the battle of Langqiao, he no longer went to the battlefield in person, but instead sat in the army and commanded the six departments.
The Crown Prince Yuanlin is just a young man who only cares about enjoying himself in the capital, so the Liangzhou Guard should be given to the most capable people.
This idea and the ambition of Li Chongshan and his party were restrained for many years.
Now that times have changed, they have finally seized this golden opportunity to turn things around.
Don't miss it!!
Yuan Susu waited in the tent for half a day, and as expected, she heard Li Chongshan and Alejiang arguing during dinner.
"Your Highness, our special forces invite you over."
The person who came was Li Chongshan's man.
After Yuan Susu agreed, she put on a cloak and walked out of the tent, followed by several Jinwu guards.
The night falls in Liangzhou later than in Shangjing. The north wind from the frontier lifts up the flags that make loud noises and flutters in the wind.
The Tiger Division soldiers who came to invite her left in a hurry.
Yuan Susu frowned slightly and said coldly, "Tsk."
Su Su walked slowly, feigning ignorance and even asking in a tone of accusation, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly come to me?"
The Jinwu Guards surrounded Susu and were extremely vigilant.
They saw Batulu coming towards them. They thought that those useless soldiers could not attract the "audience" that was necessary for this big show.
Baturu came to invite her personally, his tone showing inexplicable respect for her and even a hint of fear. He saluted and said, "Your Highness the Princess."
"Get up," Yuan Susu raised her hand to adjust her hair bun, "What's the matter?"
Batulu paused, glanced at the Tiger Division members and said, "Your Highness, it's good that I'm here. You can all go back first."
"Everyone's gone. If you have anything to say to the Special Agents, why don't you just speak directly to me?"
"Your Highness, Li Chongshan dug up the grain and fodder that the Eagle Division was responsible for last year and discovered that the accounts were not correct."
Yuan Susu chuckled lightly, her smile a little cold: "Last year's food and fodder are only arriving at the end of this year?"
"No wonder, it turns out Li Chongshan wanted me to be a witness."
However, Baturu came here specifically to explain the reason to him. Why?
Su Su stopped and looked up at Baturu: "Baturu."
"I am here." Batulu was more respectful to everyone than before.
Yuan Susu's eyes were emotionless, and her tone was calm as she asked, "Why did you deliberately send them away to tell me? What do you mean by that?"
Batulu pretended to be confused and replied, "I just think that Your Highness should know the inside story so that we can respond accordingly."
Su Su understood and just said thank you casually.
There was a fierce quarrel in Wang Jun's tent, but the moment Su Su stepped in, the sound suddenly stopped.
There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and the light of lightning drowned out the candlelight in the king's tent.
The carpet made of soft animal skins is extremely comfortable to walk on.
The high position was vacant, and Yuan Susu naturally sat on it.
The cloak was taken off, revealing a dark palace dress that echoed the undercurrent of light.
The outer robe is loose and the skirt hangs on the ground.
The clothes were covered with coiled dragon patterns embroidered with red gold thread.
The black sable fur around the collar made the extremely beautiful face look elegant and luxurious.
Behind him stood a row of tall and strong Jinwu guards.
This is a warning, a warning from the imperial power of the Great Zhou to everyone.
It was rumored throughout the world that the late emperor gave his personal guards to the eldest princess Yuan Jiyin, who was raised in the palm of his hand and pampered.
And each of the Jinwu Guards is a top-notch expert in the world, whether it is using swords, guns, sticks, or poisonous hidden weapons, they are the best in the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that he can defeat a hundred enemies alone!
"What happened? You are all outstanding heroes of Liangzhou Guard. How come you are making trouble in front of me right after Hesheli Teqin left?" Yuan Susu pretended to be ignorant and scolded angrily.
Alejiang stepped forward and was about to ask the princess to uphold justice. Now that the enemy was numerous and we were few, we naturally could not let Li Chongshan do whatever he wanted.
"Your Highness..." Alejiang had wheat-colored skin and a silver fox fur hat with a few eagle feathers inserted diagonally on his head.
He is quite handsome and looks about the same age as Chen Rang.
The harrier standing on his shoulder looked even bigger than Snowball.
He knelt and said, "Your Highness, I beg you to uphold justice for me! Li Chongshan, armed with forged account books from who knows where, is accusing me of embezzling military funds and wants to execute me on the spot! How can you sentence me to death based on one person's opinion when nothing has been done?"
Alejiang gritted his teeth and looked at the sullen-faced Li Chongshan beside him. "What's more...what's more, the prince hasn't returned yet. How can the Tiger Division Special Forces just do whatever they want to me?"
Li Chongshan is not old enough to be Susu's grandfather, he can even give birth to Alejiang.
So it was natural for him to kneel down to a little girl, and he couldn't let go of his face, after all...
It would be better to win over Li Chongshan so that he can use this knife to get rid of the Eagle Master as soon as possible.
Li Chongshan was about to kneel down with a stern face when Su Su suddenly leaned on a chair, rubbed her temples and said, "Everyone, get up! You're making so much noise that it's annoying me."
Li Chongshan looked at Yuan Susu calmly, and suddenly felt that this matter was a sure thing.
He ordered someone to present the account book, and the amount of military pay sent by the court did not match the actual amount paid.
"Li Teqin," Yuan Susu looked at him meaningfully and said, "It's inevitable that the imperial army's pay would be damaged along the way. How can the Eagle Division, who have made such great contributions in escorting the pay, use this insignificant mistake as an excuse?"
Yuan Susu casually flipped through it and asked, "Where did you get this account?"
Li Chongshan replied, "The Liangzhou Guards' Accounting Office noticed something amiss during the year-end audit, and I happened to be caught by them..."
He changed the subject and said sarcastically, "Alejiang actually did such a thing behind the scenes, right under the prince's nose."
Everyone present, except the Eagle Master, sighed.
After all, stealing military pay is a serious crime punishable by beheading.
"Okay!" Alejiang sneered coldly, "Since you're accusing me of stealing military pay, wouldn't I have known that the accounting office would be auditing the accounts at the end of the year? Would I have let this be exposed? Besides, they didn't find any problems last year, so why did they find them this year?"
"Because there is still more than half a month before the annual audit, maybe..." said Mr. Liu, the accountant.
"What a match made in heaven! I'm asking you to speak for me, just an accountant?" Su Su clapped her hands and chuckled. "Now that you don't have any concrete evidence, you want to convict me? I think even if Uncle Wang were here, he would definitely not allow it."
Yuan Susu had to show that she was impartial to no one in order to prevent Master Ying from becoming desperate, and she also took the opportunity to give Li Chongshan some advice.
"I'm tired. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Su Su stood up with dignity and her eyes swept over Li Chongshan.
The two looked at each other, and although he remained calm, he understood the eldest princess's intentions.
After Alejiang and his group left, only Li Chongshan and his party were left in the king's tent.
"Brother, the princess is clearly on Alejiang's side! She's even shown the evidence, yet she's still trying to defend him! Isn't it just because she's attracted to that boy's looks?!"
"Really?" Li Chongshan sneered, "I don't think so!"
