Seeing this, I don’t want to say anything.
He has now severed his ties with the emperor, and the Qiu family is behind him.
But the only admirable thing is that his subordinates are very loyal to him, even to the point where they cannot do without him.
It is not so easy to make this general retire.
"Brother, I'm a little worried about your situation. After all, I can't start a big war right now. If the emperor notices me, both sides will be doomed."
"And now that one side has been defeated, we are afraid. We can only wait until the next war to capture the city. Brother, you must learn to be patient."
"Chu Zhan has been patient for nearly twenty years. He doesn't know how long he will have to endure before he can finally take this place. The emperor's power is increasing rapidly, and I'm afraid that in the end no one will dare to challenge his long-held throne."
He also thought that the rebels were a mob and there was no need for him to get involved.
But seeing the Eastern Wu troops facing off, he felt a glimmer of hope. But he hadn't expected the mob to remain like this. In the end, they scattered like birds and beasts, and now not even a single person could be found. The tens of thousands of troops that had been assembled had vanished without a trace. It was truly tragic and lamentable.
They are indeed a ragtag group, and their death is not a pity.
But Li Jian's group of soldiers are different. He is a talented person who has been through rigorous training. Before he met him, he was a famous soldier.
He had produced many famous generals, and it was great to have him by your side to instruct you on drills, which was much better than leading the troops blindly.
He was naturally thinking this in his mind, but Li Jian frowned.
"In that case, when do you plan to go back to my sister?"
"We are currently discussing his way of governing the country, so why are we bringing up a bunch of women in our spare time?"
Her womanly kindness was also one of the reasons why she committed the crime against him.
"My sister said she misses you when she can't see you, so when can you go back to see her? If you don't take care of her now, this girl will go crazy! Now we know that you are the only one who can persuade her."
If she is fine, you can go over and persuade her. As for this matter, I am mainly worried that the timing is not right for you to do it. If you mess around now, he will just destroy your family.
"So, big brother, do you agree?"
"How can I not agree to my brother's request? So when will you hurry back to the Qiu Mansion?"
"Right away."
He rode back to the Qiu Mansion at top speed. When the people in the mansion saw him, they pointed at Qiu Chenqing's room in a hurry as if they had seen their savior.
"Young Master, I'm relying on you to save my young lady now. Please help persuade her not to sleep in the house all the time!"
No matter what I asked her, she wouldn't say anything and just kept calling your name.
It's like being possessed by a demon.
He goes to sleep after eating and eats again after waking up, or even closes his eyes and disappears all day long. This is probably not a good sign.
"Didn't you ask the doctor to come and check it out?"
"The Master and the Madam had already invited a doctor to examine the case on the first day of the incident. As for the imperial physician, he is a member of the palace, so how could we afford to borrow him?"
Chu Zhan froze. He had made a rash mistake and said that.
So he quietly pushed open the door. He had never entered a woman's boudoir before. Qiu Chenqing had a very good sleeping posture. She slept with her clothes on and he didn't know what she was dreaming about. She slept soundly.
But the sleep is very light.
So much so that she noticed something unusual happening when the door creaked. She frowned and picked up a vase, which happened to fall under his feet. The broken porcelain pieces burst into pieces one after another with a crackling sound.
"Didn't I just say that I don't want to see anyone right now? Didn't you understand or what? Get out of here!"
He had never seen such a radical and fierce woman.
Before, she was the kind of person who ignored him but was not so violent and cruel. He didn't dare to think about what she had been through in these days. He saw that the curtains of her bed were suddenly pulled tightly. She didn't get up, but reached out and pulled the curtains apart.
"Why, do you want me to find someone to expel you?"
The shadow at the head of the bed still lingered. She covered her face with her hands, feeling extremely sad. Her face was no longer as smooth as before, but was replaced by endless red marks, covering the entire face like a performer.
“Chen Qing, what’s wrong with you?”
Qiu Chenqing was stunned when he heard the voice. He wanted to look back, but he kept thinking of the red marks all over his face. He couldn't accept it anymore and started to make a fuss.
"Get out of here! Don't show up in front of me!"
She spoke aggressively, and you could tell from her voice how impatient this woman was.
He also thought of the way that woman had acted aggressively towards him before. He thought she was very cute at that time and did not hate her at this moment.
"Turn around, I won't hate you."
She spoke in a muffled voice, still covering her face, wrapped the quilt tightly around her, and had no intention of turning back to see anyone.
"You're a good liar. When you see me, you'll be disgusted beyond measure!"
After hearing this, he probably understood. I wonder if someone has attacked this rich young lady, otherwise he would have used his black veiled hat to cover himself before. Why is he staying at home motionless now?
He went out to inquire about the situation.
At this time, Qiu Chenqing, who was lying in the room, felt a chill in his heart.
She knew that he would look down on her. Before, she had such a stunning beauty that people came to ask for her hand in marriage, and now the news of her appearance spread throughout the city, and not only that, everyone looked down on her.
She brought shame to the glorious Qiu family.

"What did you say?"
The maid was so anxious that she almost knelt down. Chu Zhan's expression was not very good at this time. Seeing the maid's frightened expression, he became even more troubled.
"Don't be so nervous. Tell me what happened first."
How could this maid be so timid? He had never seen such a timid maid in the Qiqiu Mansion. However, Qiu Chenqing had explained before that she treated this maid as a sister, so it was good for her to be a little timid. After all, she was the one who protected her outside, and anyone who dared to bully her would be afraid of death.
"My young lady and I were out, and something went wrong. Someone maliciously removed my hat. The woman was a rival to my young lady in the academy, and she had already graduated many years ago. To spread the word, and to prove that my young lady's appearance was indeed disfigured, they even made a bet."
"And now, my young lady's title of young genius has been forgotten. Now when people mention my young lady, they are referring to the ugly girl Qiu Chenqing from the Qiu Mansion."
"Indeed?"
"Stop talking!"
The two spoke at the same time, and at this time she didn't care about wearing a hat, and hurried out, pushing Chu Zhan's body out of the courtyard gate.
"Don't ask. I'm no longer of any value now that my face is ruined."
