Chapter 224 Speculation



“I have a suggestion,” Cao Ya looked at Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao blinked and pointed at herself: “Sister Cao doesn’t think that I am omnipotent and can help persuade them to surrender, right?”

It's okay to let her charge with an AK47.

She is absolutely not capable of talking or making excuses.

Cao Ya chuckled.

“I know Sister Shen is good at other things, not persuading surrender.”

“However, Sister Shen has something that can allow the army to enter the city and cross the border smoothly.”

Shen Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague impression.

"You mean, the card given by the Queen Mother?"

"Can you help me?"

She thought the Queen Mother's card was a way to ask for a reward from her.

In feudal times, the Queen Mother was generally not allowed to rule the country, unless the emperor was young, then she could rule the country from behind the curtain. When she reached a certain age, she had to return the power.

If they still controlled the government, the emperor and the empress dowager would fight with each other.

Suddenly, an idea came to Shen Zhaozhao's mind.

Yes, the Queen Mother was not in the palace but in Panfeng Villa. She had inexplicably contracted leprosy and asked the underlings of Xianyuan Village to spread the message that the Emperor was willing to blow up the upstream barrier lake in order to destroy the Xianyuan Village.

Doesn’t this just prove that the emperor and the empress dowager have started fighting?

Cao Ya confirmed Shen Zhaozhao's guess: "Sister Shen just needs to take out the Queen Mother's card from Panfeng Villa and just say that the Queen Mother should be transferred."

"They don't recognize cities, and they don't even recognize the emperor, they only recognize the empress dowager."

The sun gradually set in the west, and the army was moving much faster than the exile group they had sent to Mobei.

Within two days, they arrived at the city gate of Youyun County.

Shen Zhaozhao was just about to take out the sign to ensure the army's smooth entry into the city, but he never expected that Guan Pingle in front of him would walk smoothly into the city gate.

Shen Zhaozhao put the hand holding the card back.

After saying something to Zhan Nanxing, he stepped forward and came to Guan Pingle.

Guan Pingle rode on the horse, looking heroic and high-spirited.

"General Guan, why don't the soldiers at the city gate need to mobilize the army?" Zhan Jianzhi first asked the question in Shen Zhaozhao's mind.

Guan Pingle waved his hand and said, "Hey, other towns may have a hard time, but Youyun County will definitely not stop us!"

Shen Zhaozhao blinked.

Guan Pingle couldn't help but slap her on the back when he saw her confused expression, almost knocking her off the horse.

"Sixth sister, you are stupid."

"Do you remember who our second brother is?"

Shen Zhaozhao clapped his hands.

Well, my network is too wide and I forgot about Magistrate Zhang!

Perhaps he had received the news long ago, and Zhang Tian was waiting in the street outside the city gate.

As the army passed through the border, people with the surname of 땡 were driven back home, and the streets were empty.

Guan Pingle and Zhan Jianzhi dismounted from their horses and clasped their fists towards Zhang Tian.

Shen Zhaozhao rode on his horse, looking at the county governor whom he had not seen for a year. The scene of the confrontation with him in the post station was still vivid in his mind.

Zhang Tian also politely returned the gift.

Shen Zhaozhao tutted and licked his back teeth. He was not used to seeing the county governor being so polite.

"I have already told me that you will be passing through my county, and I have arranged a place to camp in the city. General Guan and General Zhan can just take their troops to rest," Zhang Tian said with a smile on his face. The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were so deep that they could kill a mosquito, and he was very flattering.

"My county governor's mansion has prepared some light wine, please be kind enough to enjoy it."

"You are too polite, Magistrate Zhang. You are Brother Wenzhu's relative, so you are my relative!" Guan Pingle spoke in a gruff voice, "How can a son come home and ask his parents to prepare wine for him?"

Shen Zhaozhao had goosebumps all over the floor.

My understanding of Brother 눁 has deepened.

Although Brother 눁 looks like a rough guy who likes to chop off people's heads, he is actually very meticulous.

This is because County Magistrate Zhang is a man who would not do anything without profit. Tai Fengyu finally disappeared in Youyun County. As his jurisdiction was gone, he could not report to the emperor.

Moreover, Zhang Wenzhu is his only one, and has completely stood on the side of Guan Pingle and the Zhan family. He has also opened a gold mine and brought many benefits to Zhang Tian.

Zhang Tian naturally swept away all the past grudges and held Guan Pingle's hand with an affectionate look as if his son's brother was his own son.

Shen Zhaozhao was amazed by what he saw.

Naturally, he did not attend the banquet at the county magistrate's mansion. Drinking would cause delays in work, and Guan Pingle knew this even though he loved wine.

The army set up camp at the place arranged by Zhang Tian and left early the next morning.

Zhang Tian came in person to see him off again.

"I wish Brother Guan and General Zhan a triumphant return. When the time comes, please be sure to come to the banquet hosted by Zhang."

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Guan Pingle clasped his fist towards Zhang Tianyi, pulled the reins, and rode out.

The army followed closely behind.

The largest city closest to Mobei, Youyun County, was defeated without a fight, and the next few towns were naturally unable to resist.

The army marched straight to Yongping Prefecture.

The city gate was wide open. Zhao Pingsheng had been waiting outside the gate. When he saw the army approaching, he jumped up and waved from afar.

Guan Pingle rode forward on his horse and jumped down.

Gave Zhao Pingsheng a big hug.

"Pingsheng, Xu hasn't been seen for a long time, and he has become the prefect." General Zhan sighed. Back then, when he came to invite Elder Zhao to come out of retirement, Zhao Pingsheng was just a child.

"Old General." Zhao Pingsheng greeted the three brothers of the Zhan family, his eyes fell on Shen Zhaozhao, and he called out with a smile: "Sixth sister."

Shen Zhaozhao was numb!

He is just afraid that the world will not be in chaos!

Zhan Nanxing didn't even know that she and Zhao Pingsheng had another kind of relationship. When she called her "Sixth Sister", the peach blossom eyes looked at her with some suspicion.

"Lord Zhao was just shouting along with General Guan," Shen Zhaozhao replied with an awkward smile.

Zhan Nanxing lowered his eyes, with some guesses in his mind.

By the time the army entered the city and settled down, the night was gradually deepening.

In the tent, Zhan Nanxing, who had kept his eyes closed, quietly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at Shen Zhaozhao beside him.

"Zhao Zhao?"

He didn't lower his voice.

Shen Zhaozhao had no reaction.

Zhan Nanxing looked at her silently. It was the nth time that she seemed to be asleep, but he called her but she did not respond.

This time, he reached out and pushed Shen Zhaozhao.

Still no reaction. If her chest hadn't been rising and falling slightly, she would have looked more like a dead person.

Zhan Nanxing propped himself up and just watched.

As soon as Shen Zhaozhao exited the space, he felt someone staring at him and immediately opened his eyes.

I met those peach blossom eyes.

"Husband." She yawned sleepily and put her arms around Zhan Nanxing's neck. "We have to get up early and march tomorrow. Why are you staring at me instead of sleeping?"

Zhan Nanxing hooked a strand of her hair and told her what he had guessed.

"Zhao Zhao, did your soul leave your body just now?"
