Chapter 284 Hypnotizing Marshal Zhou
In the marshal's tent, Marshal Zhou was half-lying on a chair comfortably, smelling the faint fragrance.
"Ruofeng, stand outside the door and don't let anyone in." Shangguan Nanxing said, and glanced coldly at the soldier standing at the marshal's door.
"Does the Third Prince have anything important to say?" The Marshal's confidant heard the Third Prince speak like this and asked hurriedly.
"Can't we go find the Marshal if we have nothing to do? Ruofeng, keep an eye on them and don't let them come in and disturb the Marshal and I."
Shangguan Nanxing glanced at the man with deep displeasure.
"Of course you can find the Marshal. Let me pass the message." The confidant laughed and wanted to go in, but Shangguan Nanxing got there first.
"You are so careful, how can I harm your Marshal? I am in this tent. If there is anything, you can hear it if the Marshal shouts."
After Shangguan Nanxing finished speaking, he glanced at the confidant and walked in with Su Yue.
"Just wait here. Is the life of my Third Prince less important than the life of the Marshal? None of us have gone in."
Ruofeng saw that these confidants were still hesitant, so he spoke up to stop them.
When those close confidants heard Ruofeng say this, they felt a little relieved.
After all, the marshal has led troops in battles for many years, and the third prince is just a sickly prince. If something happens, it will be the third prince's fault.
"Why is the Third Prince here?" Marshal Zhou heard some noise at the door, looked up and saw Shangguan Nanxing walking in holding a guqin.
"This prince has nothing to do here, and he wants to discuss music with the Marshal." Shangguan Nanxing answered Marshal Zhou casually and put the guqin on the table.
"Your Highness the Third Prince is joking. I am just a rough man and I don't understand what music is." Marshal Zhou was not sure what Shangguan Nanxing was trying to do. He looked at Shangguan Nanxing's actions and replied directly.
"No problem. Let's listen. The one who has seen the most in this military camp is definitely the Marshal. This prince doesn't have any big requests. I'm just itching to do something. When the time comes, just listen and let me know whether it sounds good or not."
After Shangguan Nanxing placed the guqin, he used a little internal force and started playing.
"Is that so? Then I'll listen to it." Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Marshal Zhou sat up straighter and listened. It sounded like just an ordinary song, so he felt relieved.
"Marshal Zhou?" The song was only halfway through when Shangguan Nanxing noticed that Marshal Zhou's eyes were becoming increasingly blurry and sleepy, so he called out softly.
However, Marshal Zhou did not reply to him.
"Yuer, you can come in." Shangguan Nanxing stroked the piano and called softly.
Su Yue, who had been standing at the door, finally walked in. When their eyes met, Shangguan Nanxing nodded slightly.
"Marshal Zhou, who asked you to kill General Gu?" Su Yue asked softly in a bewitching voice.
During this period, Shangguan Nanxing has been improving this music score. It is no exaggeration to say that, let alone the Marshal, even Su Yue cannot escape Shangguan Nanxing's hypnosis as long as Shangguan Nanxing is willing.
"It's the second prince." Marshal Zhou said subconsciously with a confused look in his eyes.
After listening to this, Su Yue looked up at Shangguan Nanxing. This answer was not surprising.
"What else did the second prince say?" Su Yue continued to ask, while Shangguan Nanxing was playing the piano at the side without distraction.
"He also wants me to keep the third prince at the border forever." Although Marshal Zhou's face changed, he still said it under Shangguan Nanxing's powerful internal strength.
Shangguan Nanxing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Marshal Zhou.
"Why should we keep the third prince? Did the second prince do something in Dongyou?" Su Yue frowned, and suddenly felt an ominous feeling.
"Second Prince, the abdication was successful." As Marshal Zhou finished speaking, Shangguan Nanxing's piano sound trembled, but he tried hard to keep it steady.
"Forcing the emperor to abdicate? What about the emperor?" Su Yue immediately said what she cared about most. In the previous life, Shangguan Nanfeng forced the emperor to abdicate, but he directly killed his father.
"I'm not sure. It's not mentioned in the letter." Marshal Zhou answered truthfully.
"Where is the letter?" Su Yue's face was gloomy. She really wanted to know the situation in Dongyou.
"Over there." Marshal Zhou raised his hand blankly and pointed not far away.
Su Yue followed the direction of the finger and got two letters. After reading them, her face became completely gloomy.
"Yuer, how is it?" Shangguan Nanxing has been confused since he heard the word "forcing abdication". After all, his father in the previous life... he hurriedly asked.
"The letter doesn't go into detail, but it's definitely not optimistic." Su Yue looked at Shangguan Nanxing, worried.
"How do you plan to keep the third prince at the border forever?" Su Yue turned her head and looked at Marshal Zhou again.
"I'll let the deputy marshal go..." Marshal Zhou then laid out his plan in detail.
"Killing with a borrowed knife?" Shangguan Nanxing murmured, then looked at Su Yue.
“Yuer, we can also use this knife to keep him here forever.” Shangguan Nanxing said this, and his aura suddenly became fierce, filled with murderous intent.
"Well, since Marshal Zhou has already paved the way for a dead end, let him go on his own."
Su Yue nodded slightly, and then said worriedly: "I don't know about Dongyou."
"Yuer, there is someone here who can go to Dongyou to solve the dilemma." Shangguan Nanxing looked at Su Yue and spoke softly.
"Are you talking about my third uncle?" Su Yue was stunned at first, then reacted quickly.
"Yes, when the time comes, let General Gu bring back a wave of reinforcements under the cover of night." Shangguan Nanxing stated his plan.
"No, Nanxing, we can let our third uncle go back now." Su Yue interrupted Shangguan Nanxing, a calculation flashed quickly in her eyes.
"How to do it?" Shangguan Nanxing was stunned, but he didn't understand.
"The deputy commander went to lure the enemy, right? Let's send a large force over there. Then Third Uncle can blend in with them, and we can head straight to Dongyou after we leave the military camp."
After Su Yue expressed her thoughts, she looked at Shangguan Nanxing.
"Well, since he wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, then we don't mind letting the knife come faster. How can a small team of deputy commanders be enough!"
After Shangguan Nanxing finished speaking, he placed his hands on the piano to stop the sound.
Just as Marshal Zhou was about to regain consciousness, Su Yue quickly gave him a few injections at the back of his head.
Marshal Zhou fell into a complete sleep.
"Alas, this prince was careless and actually found a marshal who doesn't understand music. The man fell asleep before the song was even finished. Forget it, I'd better go find General Yang."
As soon as Shangguan Nanxing walked out of the tent, he spoke very loudly, with a tone full of regret, and then walked towards General Yang's tent.
The soldiers, who had been paying attention to the marshal's movements, looked at each other suspiciously, then walked in quickly.
They saw Marshal Zhou sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. They panicked and were about to go forward, but they heard the familiar snoring of the Marshal.
They looked at each other and finally felt relieved.
It seems that the marshal really fell asleep listening to the piano.
