Chapter 275 How to Defeat Marshal Zhou

Su Yue, who was a little confused at the moment, was so shocked by Gu Qingzhi's words that her eyes widened. She pushed Shangguan Nanxing away at a very fast speed and hid behind him.

"It's all your fault!" Su Yue's face turned red, even her exposed neck was flushed.

She simply stretched out her right hand and twisted Shangguan Nanxing's waist with a rather complaining look.

Shangguan Nanxing felt pain, but there was a smile on his face.

"General Gu has woken up early." Shangguan Nanxing met Gu Qingzhi's gaze on the bed with a calm expression.

Ever since he saw Yue'er here, he thought that General Gu should be fine. However, when he was talking to Yue'er just now, he really forgot that there was still someone here.

"I've been awake all the time. Please forgive me, I really can't stand it anymore." Gu Qingzhi lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and bowed respectfully to Shangguan Nanxing.

Su Yue, who was standing behind Shangguan Nanxing, was so embarrassed when she heard her uncle say that that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"I'm glad that General Gu has woken up. I happen to have some important matters to discuss with the general." Shangguan Nanxing sensed Su Yue's emotions behind him, and looked directly at Gu Qingzhi with a stern face and changed the subject.

"Third Prince, what's the important matter?" Seeing Shangguan Nanxing's serious expression, Gu Qingzhi no longer continued the topic that made Su Yue want to disappear on the spot.

"General Gu, look." Shangguan Nanxing took out the imperial edict and handed it to him.

When Gu Qingzhi saw the bright yellow cloth in the third prince's hand, he naturally recognized that it was an imperial edict, so he knelt on the ground and took the imperial edict with both hands.

When he finished reading, his brows were furrowed.

"The emperor actually wants us to find an opportunity to kill Marshal Zhou?" Gu Qingzhi spoke the contents of the imperial edict in a very low voice. Naturally, he was afraid that there might be eavesdroppers.

"Indeed, I guess what Father meant is that we should be more covert. After all, Marshal Zhou has a huge influence at the border, and even Father would not dare to act rashly."

Shangguan Nanxing took back the imperial edict and looked at Gu Qingzhi as he expressed his guess.

"Indeed, Marshal Zhou is no different from a local tyrant in this border area. In addition, he is addicted to eating, drinking and having fun all day long. He is not even a shadow of his youth."

After hearing what Shangguan Nanxing said, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help but speak out in anger.

Marshal Zhou was loyal and courageous when he was young, and fought for Dongyou at all costs, which is how he climbed to the position of marshal. However, he was later immersed in power and sex for many years, which corrupted his character.

Or maybe it could be said that Marshal Zhou had a bad character to begin with, and that was why he was tempted by the temptation and gradually magnified his inner desires.

"General Gu is right." Shangguan Nanxing nodded slightly. He had heard a lot of bad rumors about Marshal Zhou not only in this life, but also in his previous life.

"I wonder what the Third Prince has in mind?" Gu Qingzhi looked at Shangguan Nanxing with a cautious expression.

Marshal Zhou has many loyal subordinates. If he acts rashly and fails to hit the target, there will be endless troubles. Even if he hits the target, it will not be easy to clean up the mess left behind.

Su Yue listened to their conversation for a while, and her previous blush faded a lot. Out of boredom, she walked to the table and prepared to pour a glass of water.

"If there is a major war during this period, we will find a way to kill Marshal Zhou on the battlefield!" Shangguan Nanxing said this, and a fierce murderous intent suddenly emanated from his body.

"But if there is no war, wouldn't Marshal Zhou..." Gu Qingzhi replied worriedly after hearing Shangguan Nanxing's words.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be one." Shangguan Nanxing didn't care much and replied directly, but suddenly he heard the sound of something hitting the teacup.

Shangguan Nanxing turned around and saw Su Yue holding the kettle, looking at him with suspicion. The sound just now should be the sound of the teapot and the teacup colliding.

So he quickly added: "Even if there is no such thing, I will find a way to start a fight. After all, we have been confronting the Mo Kingdom for too long, and there have been too many small fights. There will always be a winner."

After hearing Shangguan Nanxing's words, Su Yue's doubts did not diminish. She gently put down the teapot, not caring about the water stains on the table.

Why had he been so sure that a war would break out?

Moreover, the method he proposed was surprisingly similar to the one that Marshal Zhou used to die on the battlefield in his previous life.

Is this really a coincidence?

"Yuer, did you bring the aromatherapy we made together before?" Shangguan Nanxing sensed Su Yue's suspicion, so he unintentionally changed the subject.

"Yes, I brought it. I am well prepared for my trip to the border this time." Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing and suppressed the thoughts in her heart. Maybe she was really overthinking.

"That's good, Yue'er, I've brought Qin with me too, and we'll have to join forces to deal with Marshal Zhou."

Shangguan Nanxing walked up to Su Yue and told her his plan.

"You want to..." Su Yue looked into Shangguan Nanxing's eyes and was stunned, as if she had guessed something.

"Yes, this is the only way to be safe." Shangguan Nanxing seemed to know what she had guessed and responded directly to her words.

"Third Prince, Marshal Zhou sent someone to say that the welcoming banquet is ready." At this time, Ruofeng was outside notifying loudly.

"This prince will be there right away, Yue'er, come with me." Shangguan Nanxing responded and asked Su Yue.

"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing after hearing this.

"What's wrong with that? I'm just saying it's a reward for your hard work in taking care of General Gu. Okay, let's go." Shangguan Nanxing looked as if it was a matter of course and left with Su Yue.

Gu Qingzhi looked at the two people leaving, turned around and lay down on the bed again, looking as if he had never woken up.

"Third Prince, you are here. The food here is getting cold." When Marshal Zhou saw the Third Prince coming, he put on a big smile.

Seeing Su Yue following behind him, he quickly suppressed his smile and gave her a cold look.

When Su Yue saw Marshal Zhou's expression, she pretended to shrink back in fear, then gave him a look that said, "Don't worry, I'm not lying." But in her heart, she was amazed at how quickly Marshal Zhou changed his expression.

Marshal Zhou was relieved when he saw Su Yue's expression and realized that what Su Yue had been doing these days was indeed to his liking.

"Marshal Zhou, this young doctor has done a great job in taking care of General Gu. Is it okay for me to bring him here? Also, the granary at this border was burned. I thought it would be very difficult, but I didn't expect that there were so many chickens, ducks, fish and meat."

Shangguan Nanxing walked to the table, quickly glanced at the food on the table, and finished speaking.

"Since the Third Prince is here in person, we can't be too shabby. Since he has already asked for it, there will naturally be no problem." Marshal Zhou was unsure of the meaning of Shangguan Nanxing's words, so he replied with a smile.

"Yeah." Shangguan Nanxing didn't say much after listening to it. He just nodded lightly and his expression relaxed a lot.

In fact, Shangguan Nanxing also knew that some things should be left alone, and now was not the time to fall out.

"Third Prince, please sit down..." Marshal Zhou saw that Shangguan Nanxing's expression had eased and thought that what he said had worked, so he ran to the top and pulled out a chair for Shangguan Nanxing to sit down.

"Marshal Zhou, although General Yang was at fault for the burning of the granary, General Gu has been in a coma and many things have been placed on General Yang's shoulders. It is understandable that he was negligent for a while. Besides, General Yang has reflected on it. Let's invite General Yang to the welcoming banquet."

Shangguan Nanxing looked at the chair pulled out by Marshal Zhou, and was not in a hurry to sit on it. Instead, he mentioned General Yang.
