As Chu Yan heard these two sentences, his face completely fell.
Bad, this woman is here right now.
Before Chu Yan could even leave the house, Shi Qingxue had already arrived.
The close scrutiny in his eyes was already filled with endless murderous intent.
"General Chu may not know that what I hate most in my life is people like you. Simple-minded, unable to judge the situation, and a traitor who betrays his own people!"
Chu Yan had initially planned to greet each other in a friendly manner and shake hands, but he hadn't expected that before he could even open his mouth, Shi Qingxue would start scolding him madly.
No matter how good Chu Yan's temper was, he still got angry and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Then he threw up his sleeves.
"Marshal Shi, I'm still calmly addressing you as Marshal because I respect you. Don't you understand your situation? Do you believe I'll tie you up right now?"
Shi Qingxue had not expected his retort to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment, and the anger on her face grew even more intense.
"Chu Yan! Now is the time to fight together against the Great Qi army. Do you dare to kidnap me and try?"
"The Qi army is marching south, and not only are you raising your own troops to rebel at this critical moment, you're even planning a civil war? Do you think the Qi army's march south will benefit you? A mere 100,000 rebels are nothing to Qi. Even if you truly don't care about the safety of your country, would you allow the Qi army to capture the capital and put your eldest brother in danger?"
She said this in a serious and solemn manner.
Chu Yan was still angry at first, but in the end he was convinced by Shi Qingxue's determination to take charge.
After all, to be honest, the reason he rebelled was all because of his eldest brother's idea, and he was also very clear in his heart that the Qi army was heading south.
If we don't join forces to deal with the Qi army first, no matter how big our territory is, it will be useless.
"Alright, this general doesn't want to discuss this. If you're here to resist the Qi army, we'd better talk first."
Chu Yan waved his hand, and his attitude suddenly changed. He even called himself "General", which surprised Shi Qingxue, who was originally thinking about whether he should beat him up first to make him surrender.
It's really amazing. This bastard Chu Yan actually wants to join forces with me to fight against the Qi army?
Could it be because of the Lord Tianguan in the capital?
She naturally knew that the two brothers had a very good relationship. Now that Chu Yan was rebelling, she was probably worried that if she went too far, her eldest brother would become a hostage in the capital.
Thinking of this, Shi Qingxue felt relieved.
It's good to just talk about this matter. Her current goal is to hope that the 100,000-strong army can avoid internal strife for the time being.
"It's me who doesn't understand."
Shi Qingxue looked at Chu Yan in front of her for a long time, looking puzzled. "You actually have intentions to expose it to the outside world? Is this true?"
Something's not right! Something's not right.
If she hadn't learned that Chu Yan had already put on the dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne, she would even suspect that Chu Yan was pretending.
Chu Yan felt a little scared when she looked at him, but in order to prevent any misunderstanding, he decided to tell the truth of the matter first.
"This general knows that we need unity both inside and outside the country as we face a massive army. As for raising an army to establish our own regime, it's actually just a ploy of my elder brother. Even though I'm nominally the rebel emperor, I will still send troops to fight against the Qi army."
"A plan from Lord Chu?" Shi Qingxue was a little confused, not quite understanding. "What do you mean?"
Once Chu Yan started talking, he naturally had no intention of keeping silent. He immediately explained the cause and purpose of the matter in full.
Until Shi Qingxue seemed to be stunned and shocked.
In the end, she couldn't help but confirm, "Why does this sound so ridiculous to me? Are you sure you're not trying to trick me?"
Chu Yan was unhappy and retorted, "Do you think that if I really wanted to rebel sincerely, I would have to do these empty tricks to fool you?"
"That's true..." Shi Qingxue nodded involuntarily, "You really wouldn't be so foolish."
Chu Yan: “???”
Harsh words can hurt people as much as a chill in June. Even though it’s only March now, there’s no need to say that, right?
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chu Yan's gloomy face:
"How about this, if you respectfully call me Grand Marshal again, I will believe that you are doing this to earn the respect of your soldiers."
Chu Yan: “???”
What kind of thing is this?
Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, ok?
Being a proud person, he was not willing to accept such humiliation. Although he should call the other person "Grand Marshal" according to his status, it was different to say it yourself and to be asked to do so.
After all, he still holds the title of emperor, with an army of 100,000 and five states under his command. He is not the king of any mountain.
Chu Yan was not convinced:
"I've declared myself emperor, or at least a rebel leader. Why should I address you as Grand Marshal?"
"Haha, if you don't shout, then you're lying, and I won't listen to your arguments."
Shi Qingxue didn't give him any face at all.
Forcing Chu Yan to call him that was, on the one hand, to satisfy his own vanity, and on the other hand, it was indeed a suspicion of testing the truthfulness of Chu Yan's words.
If Chu Yan really wanted to call himself the Grand Marshal, then at least he would have leadership in this rebel camp.
In the future when fighting against the Qi army, Chu Yan was younger than him, so it would be much easier for him as the commander-in-chief to command them.
"General, just don't listen then. When the Qi army marches south, don't blame me for being ruthless."
