Chapter 192 Decision
Su Chengnan smiled and shook his head. He looked around and pointed at Sun Liangyuan and Liuzi and said, "I just did my best. The credit should go to everyone! If it weren't for Brother Chen's assassination, Mr. Sun's transformation, and Liuzi and his brothers in the woodworking workshop working tirelessly, I would have no way to implement the idea."
Li Shanqi nodded and continued with a smile: "Indeed, everyone is great. But don't be too modest."
Su Chengnan felt strange and didn't know why Li Shanqi kept picking on her. She was not interested in such false reputation, and she felt from the bottom of her heart that today's victory was really due to the efforts of everyone.
But she has worked in the workplace before, and she couldn't let the boss's words fall on the ground in public, which would be too disrespectful to the other party.
Su Chengnan curled the corners of his mouth and used the safest move!
She stood up slowly, bowed to Li Shanqi and said, "After all, it's you! If you hadn't led the brothers of the Beiling Army to hold their ground and fight bloody battles, we wouldn't be able to sit here safely!"
Li Shanqi laughed happily, "Our brothers in the Beiling Army are all tough guys. We will never back down even a single step!"
Su Chengnan picked up the teacup and said, "Well said! Let me use tea instead of wine to toast the general!"
Lu Chaofeng raised his glass and echoed: "Cheers, General!"
Those who had cups held their cups, and those who didn't held their bowls, all responded in unison, pushing the atmosphere to its climax...
After a while.
Li Shanqi called Lu Chaofeng to his side, held his shoulder and sighed, looking as if he was troubled by something.
Seeing this, Su Chengnan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, guessing that it should be about reinforcements.
The Beiling Army suffered heavy losses after this battle and it was a narrow victory! Although they seized many horses and weapons from the enemy, they did not have enough soldiers and everything was in vain.
What we lack now is people, and they must be well-trained people!
But at this critical moment, who can come to support us?
Su Chengnan picked up the teacup and sipped it
While sipping her lips, her thoughts had already drifted away from here. She distracted herself and entered the space to communicate with Su Weimin.
"Dad, do you think Li Shanqi is trustworthy?"
“Trustworthy!”
"So compared to him and Lu Chaofeng, is Lu Chaofeng more trustworthy?"
When Su Weimin was alive, he naturally thought that Li Shanqi was more trustworthy. But now, as he walked along the way, although he did not directly observe the performance of Lu Chaofeng, after listening to Su Linhua's detailed explanation many times, he gradually changed his mind.
"What on earth do you want to say?!" He frowned.
"I... I don't think this is a solution. The people are living in poverty and the war continues. We won't be safe even if we go to Ningguta, so..."
"so?"
"Since the Queen Mother is in power and the King's uncle is all-powerful, why don't we... pull these people down and let more capable people take over!"
"You...you actually, how on earth could you say such outrageous words?!" Su Weimin was so shocked that even his voice trembled.
"Is it difficult to just say it like that?"
Su Chengnan didn't understand why he reacted like this. He clearly had the will in his hand and he knew that the emperor was not the bloodline of the previous emperor. Was there anything so hard to accept?
Su Weimin took a deep breath, covered his chest and relaxed, "Have you ever thought about how the emperor would deal with the will? Will the court make any plans? How will people in the world view the late emperor?! The royal dignity has become a laughing stock, what good will this do for Dayong?!"
"Of course, the competent ones will take the position! If you want to resist the enemy, you must first stabilize the country! At this time, the Queen Mother is still thinking about assassinating Lu Chaofeng. Shouldn't we meet the enemy together first?"
Su Weimin was choked with speech.
He was also very angry in his heart, but he thought of the late emperor, and... alas, he still couldn't bear to be cruel.
Su Chengnan took the will out of the cabinet, held it in his hand and said, "We can't wait any longer. After Mincheng falls, if Beiling falls as well, the entire northern defense line will be breached."
"Then it will be useful if you take out the will now?"
"Yes! Lu Chaofeng can use it to restore the royal bloodline to orthodoxy. No matter he or King Ningyuan, they are better than them!"
"Things are not as simple as you think!"
"But right now, do you have a better solution?"
The two looked at each other, staring at each other.
After a long time.
Su Weimin was defeated.
"Perhaps, you are right! Lu Chaofeng and his father are indeed more suitable candidates than this mother and son. The most important thing is that they understand the suffering of the people and can prevent the situation from deteriorating and spreading."
"Um."
"Do whatever you want! Just think it through and there's no need to tell me anymore..."
Su Weimin's shoulders drooped and he looked very depressed. He turned around and went to the field silently, picking up a hoe by himself.
Su Chengnan clenched the will tightly and left the space without staying for too long.
When she came back to her senses, Su Linhua beside her saw her hesitation, but she didn't ask anything. She just smiled and said, "Sister, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!"
"Even if it means risking your life?"
Su Linhua shook her head nonchalantly and said slowly: "If you hadn't been with me these days, I would have died a thousand and eight hundred times."
"You have also made a lot of contributions. I am not the only one who is responsible for everything. You are very important!"
"Well, I know I am important too, but no matter how important I am, I am not as important as you. So, do whatever you want. Even if you say you want to ascend the throne and become the queen, I will support you unconditionally."
Su Chengnan smiled: "Okay! Then I've decided..."
"Ah? You really want to be the queen?" Su Linhua was stunned.
"That's not impossible!" Su Chengnan joked, and the atmosphere became relaxed.
But who could have thought that the joke would come true, and she would actually ascend the throne, but...
With the support of Su Linhua, Su Chengnan stood up without hesitation and walked towards the direction where Lu Chaofeng and Li Shanqi were talking.
Seeing her coming, Lu Chaofeng gradually slowed down his speech and looked at her in confusion: "Why are you here?"
"I have something I want to discuss with you two."
"Niece, if you are not in a hurry, let's talk about it tomorrow! The prince and I have important matters." Li Shanqi's face was full of worry, and the smile he had at the banquet was gone.
Su Chengnan was not annoyed, but just walked a few steps forward, lowered his head, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear:
"I have a way to solve the current predicament of Yong State! General Li, please move and find a safe place before we talk."
"Oh?" He looked at Su Chengnan carefully.
But Su Chengnan just stood there calmly, letting his inquiring gaze linger on her. Lu Chaofeng next to her looked at her, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes widened.
A smile appeared on Su Chengnan's lips. She blinked at him, and the two of them communicated with each other tacitly.
Lu Chaofeng said, "Why don't we go into the tent first and listen to what Miss Su has to say. Who knows, maybe she can really help us out..."
"Well, let's go!"
