"I can help you, but you have to tell me your plan first, otherwise it's off the table."

A hint of difficulty appeared on Chen Zhennan's face. He sighed softly, as if he were having a fierce internal struggle.

"Do you really need to know the plan?" he finally asked, his voice tinged with helplessness.

“Of course!” Song Yunyang nodded without hesitation.

"Then it's a deal."

Chen Zhennan gave a heavy "hmm," as if he had made a great decision, and slowly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Song Yunyang.

Song Yunyang took the paper, her eyes gleaming. After a careful look, she suddenly rolled her eyes.

"The army entered the pass and headed straight for the capital. They split into two routes: one to keep watch on the various warlords, and the other to surround the capital and trap Zhou Xiang."

Song Yunyang was stunned, her face showing disbelief.

"That's all? You call this a plan? I thought you had some brilliant idea. Shouldn't this be the most basic approach?"

Seeing this, Chen Zhennan couldn't help but chuckle and say, "You can't go back on your word, Song Yunyang, you can't renege on your promise!"

Song Yunyang was immediately infected by his humor and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What a scoundrel Chen Zhennan! He even tricked me! I'm not marrying him!"

"ah?"

Chen Zhennan stood up with a forced smile and hurriedly pulled Song Yunyang to sit down next to him.

"No way? You're angry already? The great cause is about to be accomplished. If you don't get married now, there are plenty of people eyeing the Empress's position."

"Who cares?" Song Yunyang raised her head, her face full of arrogance.

Seeing this, Chen Zhennan quickly put on a sly smile.

"If you don't marry me, who else can you marry? Besides, we'll be husband and wife soon. This isn't playing around; this is the fun between husband and wife."

Song Yunyang scoffed, then her expression returned to normal.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Chen Zhennan also put away his playful expression and said in a low voice, "I want you to take the troops of Da Yan to the interior and transfer Wang Lei to the capital for the final major reshuffle."
