Prince Yan's Mansion.
Yan Batian sat upright on the chair, not even raising his eyelids, and said calmly:
"I really didn't expect that, Lao Zhao!"
"This second brother of mine is truly brave! I really underestimated him. He actually dared to openly rebel!"
Zhao Huaizhen was beaming, his face radiant with joy as he exclaimed, "Your Highness!"
"The opportunity we have been waiting for has come!"
"Your Majesty, please immediately raise your troops and march into the capital in the name of defending the king!"
Yan Batian shook his head: "No rush, let's wait and see what happens."
Zhao Huaizhen was very puzzled and quickly persuaded him, "Your Highness! Opportunities are fleeting and will never come back again!"
"This is a golden opportunity. Your Majesty, please do not hesitate any longer!"
"Time waits for no man! Rise up the army!"
Yan Batian waved his hand and said, "Old Zhao, the purpose of life is to steal a little time to relax."
"My niece was truly unruly before. Seeing that the Great Zhou was about to be destroyed by her, I finally made up my mind."
"It seems that she is still a decent person these days, and has some of the demeanor of a wise ruler."
"Why would this king involve himself in such troubles?"
Zhao Huaizhen's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Your Highness..."
"We just need to wait for the King of Qin and the guards protecting Jingzhou City to fight to a draw, and then our great cause will be within our grasp!!!"
Yan Batian slowly stood up, turned around leisurely, stood with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Old Zhao, that's not necessary."
"Second brother can't cause any trouble."
"Even if I go, I will join forces with my second brother."
"The best outcome would be a loss for all three parties, and it would also benefit outsiders for nothing."
"I will just guard the border for the Yan family and look after the Great Zhou."
"Why do things that would make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy?"
"Why do you say that, Your Highness?" Zhao Huaizhen asked, very puzzled.
Yan Cetian patted Zhao Huaizhen's shoulder and smiled proudly: "Old Zhao, you are too deep into the game!"
"Why not, like me, step outside the chess game and take a look at what has happened in the past month!"
“I believe you will feel differently.”
Then, he turned around and whispered in Zhao Huaizhen's ear, smiling slightly, "Don't look at her recent absurd behavior, she actually has a lot of reason!"
"This niece of mine has a master behind her!"
"Hahaha--"
Yan Batian left the study with a loud laugh, leaving Zhao Huaizhen alone in the wind.
…
That night.
Imperial Palace.
Yan Jiaoran intertwined her fingers, resting her cheeks on the backs of her soft and tender hands, daydreaming.
A month ago.
She is still facing a precarious situation where her life is uncertain.
Unexpectedly, after only four exchanges, the chaotic state affairs were resolved.
The situation is very good and prosperous.
This guy is pretty good.
However, I have to work harder and not go to him for everything.
Otherwise, he will be laughed to death!
Let this bastard see my strength!
Sudden!
Murong Yanran's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, urgent news from eight hundred miles away!"
"Bring it in and read it."
Yan Jiaoran's eyes flashed, thinking it must be good news?
Unexpectedly, Yu She was so brave. He set out in the afternoon and had good news in the evening!
He is a brave general!
However, Murong Yanran's expression was very ugly.
Yan Jiaoran was startled and asked hurriedly, "Yanran, what happened? Tell me quickly!"
Murong Yanran said softly, "General Yu's army was attacked less than fifty miles outside Jingzhou City."
"All the logistical supplies were burned..."
"What!" Yan Jiaoran's expression changed drastically, and she said coldly: "What kind of waste is this Yu She!"
"Good-for-nothing!"
"A bunch of useless people!"
"Before the army moves, the food and supplies must go first!"
"Leading an army of 10,000, only to have their food and supplies burned not long after they'd gone far?"
Perhaps she had vented her anger, she pondered for a moment and then said:
"Can you find out who did it?"
"The army is heading out, and my second uncle won't be able to take action in time. There must be a traitor in the court!"
Her delicate face was already covered with frost.
A pair of slender white hands tightly grasped the edge of the couch.
Murong Yanran bit her lip and sighed, "Master Jia has already gone to investigate, but I'm afraid he won't find any results..."
Yan Jiaoran held her forehead and said speechlessly: "Let Yu She lead the people back."
"Shameful idiot!"
Murong Yanran said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't withdraw..."
"What's the meaning?"
Yan Jiaoran raised her eyebrows.
Murong Yanran smiled bitterly and said, "General Yu is eager to fight. He led his elite cavalry on a rapid march of 150 miles in three hours."
"By the time we received the news that the logistics supplies had been burned, we had already encountered Hua Zijian's troops."
"The two sides fought for half an hour, and news arrived that the rear baggage train had been destroyed."
"The army's morale was immediately shaken. General Yu was killed on the spot by Hua Zijian, and the soldiers fled in all directions."
"County governors in various places are relying on their strong cities to resist..."
Yan Jiaoran: “…”
Forget it, this army has nothing to do with her anyway.
It's not hers, and it doesn't cost her money.
If it is damaged, then it is damaged.
The son doesn't feel sorry when he sells his grandfather's land.
If you die, you die. If you lose, you lose.
Just think of it as saving me money.
It's not a big deal.
Seeing that His Majesty remained silent, Murong Yanran reminded him, "Your Majesty, how should the court deal with the King of Qin's army now?"
