Lu Yan grasped her restless hand.
He said with a half-smile:
"When did I agree to release them?"
Chen Qingwan's smile froze, and the resentment in her eyes deepened.
"Are you... are you playing me?"
Looking at her like this, Lu Yan chuckled inwardly. This woman's face changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
He said, feigning seriousness:
"Miss Chen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
When have I ever tricked you?
"I only said I would consider it, but I didn't promise to definitely release them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingwan became anxious.
She suddenly stood up, pointed at Lu Yan's nose, and cursed:
"You! You treacherous scoundrel! You..."
"stop!"
Lu Yan interrupted her.
He rubbed his temples and said helplessly:
"Miss Chen, could you please not be so agitated? I haven't finished speaking yet."
Chen Qingwan glared at him angrily, waiting for him to continue.
Lu Yan coughed lightly and said:
"I won't release them, but I will send troops to rescue the people of the capital."
Chen Qingwan was stunned, then looked at Lu Yan with eyes full of surprise.
"Really? You're really going to send troops?"
Lu Yan nodded.
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
To him, the lives and deaths of the common people in the capital were nothing more than the fate of ants.
He was never a compassionate saint, nor did he have any interest in playing the role of a savior.
He simply hated being threatened; it felt like having a fishbone stuck in his throat.
It made him feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, making him restless and uneasy.
Ultimately, what he wanted was never absolute power.
It's not about being admired by thousands, but about a tranquil peace where no one can disturb you.
A freedom to do whatever you want and make a fortune quietly.
He has always adhered to the principle of "developing stealthily and avoiding recklessness".
They secretly amassed strength, waiting for the Da Tong Dynasty, this wrecked ship, to sink on its own.
Then he can retire gracefully and live a carefree life. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Ironically, those guys completely ruined his plans and put him in the spotlight.
He was like a monkey forced to wear a crown, compelled to accept the attention of the crowd.
This made him feel extremely annoyed and anxious.
His original plan was to wait for the right opportunity and develop covertly.
Wait for the right moment to strike, and strike with deadly precision.
This has undoubtedly increased his risks and disrupted his rhythm.
He cursed inwardly: These idiots.
He's like a young person who's worked hard to save money to buy a house, only to see the price of houses about to drop.
But then I was told that I had to hand over the house early. How frustrating is that!
He took a deep breath, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
Since they insist on disrupting his peace, then he shouldn't blame them for being impolite.
He decided to give the Northern Xiang Kingdom and Java a harsh lesson.
Let them know that there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed, and some people that cannot be messed with.
He wanted to use swift and decisive measures to deter the wicked and make an example of them.
This also serves as a warning to those "loyal ministers" of the Great Tong Dynasty, to make them understand.
What does it mean that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast?
He wanted to see who would dare to mess with him next!
When Chen Qingwan saw that Lu Yan had agreed to send troops, a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.
"Lord Lu, you are such a good person."
Lu Yan's lips twitched. A friend card?
He doesn't want to be a good person.
He got up, walked to his desk, picked up his pen, and began to write a letter.
Chen Qingwan stood to the side, watching him quietly.
Lu Yan wrote two letters, one to Lu Fei, instructing him to prepare the musket regiment and be ready to deploy at any time;
Another letter was sent to Li Kui, instructing him to lead his Big Sword Team to the capital to provide support.
...
At the drill ground of Shannan Prefecture, Lu Fei was leading the musketeer regiment in drills.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The deafening gunfire echoed through the sky.
Lu Yan stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers training below, a look of satisfaction on his face.
He personally trained this musketeer regiment, and they were extremely powerful in combat.
"Sir, you wanted to see me?"
Lu Fei ran up to Lu Yan and saluted.
Lu Yan nodded and handed him the letter.
"Take a look at this."
Lu Fei took the letter, opened it, and his expression immediately changed.
"My lord, are you going to send out troops?"
Lu Yan hummed in agreement.
"The Northern Xiang Kingdom and the Java Kingdom have joined forces to attack the capital. I cannot stand idly by."
Lu Fei said in a deep voice, "My lord, this humble general is willing to serve you with utmost loyalty!"
Lu Yan patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, I believe you."
"Sir, when shall we depart?"
"Once Li Kui's big sword team arrives, we'll set off together."
"yes!"
...
As night fell, Shannan Prefecture became even more bustling.
Inside Lu Yan's government office, a sumptuous banquet was laid out on the tables, filling the air with delicious aromas.
Chen Qingwan stood by the window, looking at the lively scene below, and turned to Lu Yan to ask:
When do we set off?
Lu Yan slowly picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth and savored it, saying:
"What's the panic! We're all just people who eat rice, and even those who eat rice are superior to others!"
"You need to be well-fed to have the strength to take them down!"
Chen Qingwan thought it made sense, so she walked to the table and sat down.
Without any hesitation, he picked up his chopsticks and began to devour the food.
Looking at her like this, Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh:
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
Chen Qingwan's mouth was full of food, and she said indistinctly:
