Chapter 476 Control!
In the backyard, Jiang Huijun had to deal with Ma San, who was sent by Liu Tan.
In the front yard, Li Shiyue was already kneeling on one knee, repeatedly pleading with Liu Tan, who was sitting at the head of the table, "I beg the General to grant my request!"
What are we fulfilling?
Wasn't this Jiang Huijun, who had lost her mind in the backyard before, using Li Shiyue's marriage to humiliate her?
Although Li Shiyue left the backyard in a relatively dignified manner, she was still quite angry.
No one could bear such humiliation as Jiang Huijun!
Li Shiyue strode from the backyard into the frontyard, and was let in directly by the guards outside the study.
After all, Li Shiyue's face still held some sway with the guards of the Prince's mansion.
Of course, the reason she could be allowed into the study was because Liu Tan had Ma San spread the word beforehand that she could be let in if she came.
As soon as Li Shiyue entered the study, she saw Liu Tan sitting at the head of the table, with his two personal guards, Zhao Da and Ma San, standing behind him.
Among the people sitting below Liu Tan, besides Zhou Yiran and several advisors from the Prince's residence, there were also General Liu, General Ma, and General Zhao from the army on the other side.
Li Shiyue stepped forward, first bowing to Liu Tan at the head of the table. After receiving a nod from Liu Tan, she suppressed her anger and found a place to sit down in a corner.
She had only been sitting down for a short while when she overheard Liu Tan discussing the Japanese pirates in Jian'an Prefecture with the others.
When it came to serious matters, the resentment she had been harboring in the backyard dissipated considerably.
However, there was still a bit of anger stuck in my throat.
Li Shiyue overheard Zhou Yiran analyzing: "Although the port in Jian'an Prefecture is a small port, if it falls into the hands of Japanese pirates, it could become a major threat..."
Zhou Yiran mentioned that Li Shiyue had led troops to this place before, but at that time, the Jian'an Prefecture already had its own garrison, and she was just leading people to investigate the mountain bandits.
Later, she simply handed over the information she had gathered about the Japanese pirates to them, and then returned with her own soldiers and the money she had collected from the investigation.
Hearing this, Li Shiyue suddenly had an idea. She felt that this was a good opportunity.
Li Shiyue's fingers tapped silently on the table unconsciously, the rhythm of the tapping synchronized with the thoughts gradually taking shape in her mind.
Suddenly, she stood up abruptly with a "bang," causing the chair to scrape against the ground with a screeching sound.
The commotion drew everyone's attention, including Liu Tan's.
She strode to the center, knelt on one knee, and looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"General, I am willing to go to Jian'an Prefecture to kill the bandits in October!"
Her voice echoed in the study, “As long as there is even one Japanese pirate in Jian’an Prefecture, I, Li Shiyue, will never return to Jinzhou! I beg the general’s permission!”
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Tan's eyes beneath his thick eyebrows.
He put down his teacup, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Li Shiyue, asking, "General Li, what's wrong with you?"
It's been so many years, how could Li Shiyue be someone who can't act?
The problem is simply that she needs to maintain a certain public image and she doesn't want to act.
Look how well she's acting right now!
At this moment, Li Shiyue was directly addressing someone who had been wronged but refused to speak out for the sake of the overall situation;
However, they had to request to go away from the center of power to a poor seaside place that none of the generals wanted to go.
Actually, it was her image as a loyal and virtuous general who fought against the Japanese pirates for the sake of General Liu Tan and Andong that was established, wasn't it?
Li Shiyue raised her head and bowed to Liu Tan with a look that said, "I have grievances, but I won't say them." She said, "General, although I am a woman, my heart is the same as other generals, wanting to do things for you!"
Just look at Li Shiyue, her eyes reddening but stubbornly refusing to let the tears fall, coupled with her deliberately lowered voice, yet her subtle thoughts that everyone could clearly hear.
Get it right!
Isn't Jiang Huijun trying to use Li Shiyue's female identity as a pretext?
So, Li Shiyue did the opposite and took the initiative to bring up her identity as a woman!
Instead of directly answering Liu Tan's question, Li Shiyue continued talking about her plan to go to Jian'an to kill the bandits.
After a brief pause, Li Shiyue subtly turned her face so that everyone present could see her "stubbornly tearful" eyes, before finally turning her gaze back to Liu Tan's face after scanning everyone present.
Li Shiyue, in a hoarse voice tinged with sobs, said to Liu Tan with unwavering conviction, “The place in Jian’an Prefecture where the Japanese pirates are active is not close to Jinzhou, and it is a remote seaport that is not as good as Sanshan Port.”
I have never been married, and I will never be married in the future!
Other generals all had families by their side, including wives, children, and elderly mothers at home;
Although I have my mother and brother at home, my older sister will definitely be able to take good care of my family!
This task of going to Jian'an to kill the bandits is the perfect job for me!
I hope the General will grant my request!
After Li Shiyue's performance, tell me, who wouldn't wonder why she suddenly acted this way?
It should be noted that when Li Shiyue first entered the garrison, he was made difficult by General Zhao;
She didn't shed a single tear even when facing the onslaught of the crowd on the training ground.
She came to the banquet this time because of her great contributions to the Turks. Why is she suddenly like this?
It's as if they've suffered a tremendous injustice?
Why should a great hero in the Turkic Khaganate be wronged?
Who dares?
Given this, who wouldn't have some doubts?
Everyone needs to think more!
The study was completely silent.
The lid of General Zhao's teacup landed on the table with a "clink," breaking the silence.
Liu Tan's gaze lingered on Li Shiyue's face for a long time. He suddenly turned to his personal guard beside him and whispered, "Ma San, go to the backyard and ask Madam if anything happened while General Li was there."
Li Shiyue felt a tightness in her chest, but she didn't show it on her face.
She knew her performance had worked, arousing Liu Tan's suspicion, which was exactly what she wanted.
Thus, Liu Tan sent Ma San to the backyard to question Jiang Huijun about what had happened in the backyard before Li Shiyue entered the study.
After Ma San left, Zhou Yiran coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence: "General, Jian'an Prefecture does indeed need a capable general."
The garrison there has probably already made contact with the Japanese pirates, so we really need our own people to go and keep them in check.
General Li had once led troops there to investigate banditry, was familiar with the local terrain, and had also fought against Japanese pirates at Sanshan Port...
Liu Tan raised his hand to stop Zhou Yiran from speaking, then turned to look at Li Shiyue, who was still kneeling on one knee: "General Li, are you really determined to go?"
"I am willing to share the General's burdens!" Li Shiyue replied in a firm and powerful voice.
Liu Tan nodded slowly: "Very well! Then this general will grant your request!"
You and General Liu have made such a great contribution to the Turkic cause this time!
Since you volunteered to go to Jian'an to kill the bandits, I will add another thousand new soldiers to your existing thousand soldiers!
You have ten days to prepare. You will depart in ten days and must arrive in Jian'an before the New Year!
Li Shiyue clenched his right fist and pounded it on his left chest: "Thank you, General!"
