Chapter 405 I am the King’s Uncle

"Please forgive me, I am also frightened by recent events."

Marquis Chenyang sat on the side and laughed: "For the sake of me and the Wang family, please don't argue with my daughter."

He apologized, but his expression was condescending.

Among the people present, Marquis Chenyang and the Wang family were almost tied to the same boat.

Lu Xiangrou is that rope.

The Qi Xuanhou Mansion represented by the Queen is powerful on the outside but weak on the inside.

The remaining ministers are all a bunch of fence-sitters.

"The Imperial City cannot be in chaos. Before the Xie family army enters the capital, we must establish an orderly order and unite more families. This will determine our future destiny."

The Queen glanced coldly at the Marquis of Chenyang, not paying attention to Lu Xiangrou for the time being: "What are your thoughts on the current plan?"

This Marquis Chenyang has become wild at heart.

In front of her, he actually called himself "this Marquis", and no longer took her seriously.

Immediately, a minister beside the queen spoke up to praise her: "Your Majesty's meaning is what we all mean."

Marquis Chenyang cursed the flatterer inwardly, but then heard the Queen say in a cold voice: "Marquis Chenyang, do you have any ideas? If so, please tell me."

"Of course not."

Marquis Chenyang laughed heartily: "Of course we all follow the Queen's lead."

"We will discuss this matter at the Marquis of Chenyang's residence today. This clearly shows your attitude. Very good. I will remember the Marquis's contribution."

The Queen glanced at Marquis Chenyang and Lu Xiangrou calmly, then straightened her back. "Since that's the case, follow my orders and send out 100,000 troops to conduct a preliminary test. These 100,000..."

Everyone looked at each other.

"This... Queen, isn't a hundred thousand troops too few?

I heard that the Savage Army has fought from the border to this point without losing a single soldier."

One hundred thousand troops are indeed too few.

"Let's test it first. One hundred thousand troops is not a small number."

The Queen glanced at them coldly: "There are 300,000 soldiers in the imperial city. Are you going to take all 300,000? Is that still a test?"

Now, everyone was speechless.

That makes sense.

The Queen looked away from the man who had spoken.

These old guys respectfully called her queen on the surface, but when it came to making decisions, they still looked down on her because she was a woman.

Once the rebellion is quelled and stabilized, none of these people can stay.

"In that case, I wonder who the Queen is going to send to lead the troops?"

When Marquis Chenyang mentioned this matter, all the ministers in the field subconsciously lowered their heads, fearing that they would be called out.

The queen snorted coldly.

A bunch of idiots.

He is a coward who just hides his head in the critical moment.

If any of these people had half the ability of Xie Jingci, she would be able to sit firmly on this throne.

It's a pity that she has a lot of ambitions, but she is a girl and has no talented people under her.

The Queen cast a cold gaze on Marquis Chenyang: "Does the Marquis have any plans?"

Marquis Chenyang was stunned, not understanding how he was suddenly involved.

He coughed lightly and acted honestly: "As subjects, we naturally follow orders."

"Okay then."

The queen's eyes flashed: "In that case, the matter of sending out troops for testing will be left to the Marquis."

Aren't you following her orders?

She wanted to see if this old man could continue to pretend.

But the Marquis of Chenyang didn't show any sign of panic. He laughed and stood up: "The Queen has given an order, and we will obey it."

Everyone present was in an uproar.

He actually agreed to this, he would be willing to die

"In that case, we will wait for news from the Marquis in the capital."

The queen gave him a meaningful look, then stood up and led her people back to the palace.

The others no longer had the will to continue, so they exchanged a few polite words and left.

After the others had gone far away, Madam Lu came out from the corner and said worriedly, "My Lord, those people are all ruthless. They only have 100,000 troops. Do we really want to go?"

"Since you've agreed, of course you have to go."

Marquis Chenyang had a gloomy smile on his face: "However, she only said that people from the Marquis' Mansion would go. When did she ever say that I, the Marquis, would go in person?"

He waved his hand to signal not to worry: "Send anyone over. Also, send someone else to deliver the letter to those people just now, except for those who are already on the side of Qi Xuanhou Mansion and Qi Xuanhou Mansion."

"yes."

"etc."

Marquis Chenyang's expression was uncertain: "This matter is of great importance. I don't trust anyone. Wait till tonight and you will deliver the letter in person."

There are not many people left in the Chenyang Marquis Mansion, so we must be more careful in our actions.

Mrs. Lu was terrified and said, "Yes."

She didn't know what Marquis Chenyang wanted to do, but she didn't dare to ask too much.

As night fell, there were almost no people on the streets of the imperial city.

Most of the people who gathered at Chenyang Marquis' Mansion during the day have gathered again at this moment.

Marquis Chen Yang smiled and said, "You all know why I came here again now."

"Please tell me clearly, my Lord."

The ministers already had various speculations in their minds.

Marquis Chenyang wore a determined smile on his face. "Everyone should be aware that the troops are led by my daughter and son-in-law. Based on this alone, my Marquis Chenyang Mansion is invincible."

Not many people knew about the discord between Lu Wanyin and the Chenyang Marquisate.

Marquis Chenyang intended to take this opportunity to build up momentum for himself.

These words really frightened the group of people who didn't understand what was going on: "What the Marquis means is..."

Marquis Chenyang smiled slightly and said, “During this expedition, if we encounter anyone from my daughter and son-in-law, we will definitely send a message.

Do you really think that a disorganized army of 300,000 can stop them?"

Everyone looked at each other.

How could they possibly stop it?

If these people didn't have some grudge against Xie Jingci, they would have surrendered like others long ago.

Many people were moved.

Who wants to die when they can live?

"Um... Lord, how confident are you that you can convince Xie Jingci?"

"It doesn't matter whether I can persuade them or not. My identity is here. Do they dare to kill my father?

Everyone in the world knows how much Xie Jingci dotes on my daughter."

After these words were spoken, many people felt relieved.

That's true.

“Everyone, when the barbarian army enters the city, I will be the king’s uncle.

If you all follow me now, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss in the future."

Marquis Chenyang laughed triumphantly, and his sharp voice gave everyone a chill.

But he had Lu Wanyin as his trump card, so no one dared to show any displeasure. They all responded, "Our lives and fortunes depend entirely on you, Lord Marquis."

Marquis Chen Yang was full of energy and said, "Hahahaha, no problem, no problem."

He never thought that Lu Wanyin would kill him.

If they wanted to kill him, they would have killed him long ago when they had such a good opportunity.

Since they wanted to ascend the throne, they did not dare to bear the stigma of patricide.

When the ministers returned from the Marquis of Chenyang's Mansion, they were still wondering whether it was reliable to rely on the Marquis of Chenyang's Mansion.

At this time, someone came to deliver a message.

"The Empress has ordered that you all enter the palace to discuss important matters."
