Chapter 971 Whoever Takes It Is Idiot
Zheng Shicheng saw the two of them coming together and said quickly, "This news just reached northern Hubei this morning. It is said that the team delivering the imperial edict is already on the way."
At this time, Xu Yang came in with an ugly face and whispered to Sheng Ze: "Master, our people just sent us a message..."
The information from the Shadow Guard Division was more comprehensive, even mentioning that the cause of the incident was most likely the Imperial Master Yang Chaofan.
Sheng Ze's heart sank. It was his negligence.
At that time, when Yang Chaofan said that Shen Qingqian was a goddess, he was already alert in his heart, but then he lost his memory and did not think about it for the time being. Who knew that Sheng Zhan would take the lead and issue the imperial decree.
The existence of Shengze has not been made public to the world. In the eyes of ordinary people, Ezhou is the territory of Dajin. Liang Cheng and Zheng Shicheng must obey the court's orders. As exiles, the Shen family cannot refuse Sheng Zhan's orders.
"Girl, you must not accept this imperial edict!" Liang Cheng looked at Shen Qingqian, fearing that she was too young to be deceived by an imperial edict that came to vindicate the Shen family.
Shen Qingqian's eyebrows jumped, "Whoever answers is an idiot!"
Sure enough, Yang Chaofan's word "goddess" at that time did cause some sequelae.
If Sheng Zhan only vindicated the Shen family and gave Shen Xiao the title, she would not have thought of Yang Chaofan. Now that he directly made her a concubine, she saw through their calculations at a glance.
The abacus beads have already jumped onto her face. If Shen Qingqian still accepts the order, wouldn't she be a complete fool?
"But now this imperial edict is known to the whole world. If we openly disobey it, I'm afraid..." Zheng Shicheng frowned.
Previously, when the imperial court attacked them, they could fight back as self-protection when they were caught off guard. But now that they are attacked so openly, it is difficult to deal with them.
Sheng Ze suddenly spoke up, "Sheng Zhan made this matter known to the world, simply to force us to accept the order, and at the same time, to prevent the person delivering the order from getting hurt."
"Master is right. If that's the case, we still have another way to go." Xuyang said with a firm look in his eyes.
Liang Cheng looked at him and said, "You want them to not be able to reach northern Hubei?"
"That's right, just let the team stay on the road. It's not difficult to do that in today's weather." Xuyang nodded.
Sheng Ze also nodded and said, "That's right. This way no one can find fault with it, and we can use this time to prepare for the attack on Chenzhou. As long as the war starts, we don't have to pay attention to Sheng Zhan's imperial edict."
Seeing that they were talking so clearly, Shen Qingqian said weakly, "Actually, we still have another way."
Everyone looked at her, and Sheng Ze asked, "Sixth sister, do you have any other ideas?"
"I think Sheng Zhan must have thought that we would keep them on the road, so they must have made preparations, so we probably won't be able to delay them for long." Shen Qingqian pondered.
After a pause, he continued, "In this case, we need a backup plan. I suggest using the method of using someone else as a substitute."
"Li Dai Tao Jiang" Sheng Ze pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly shining, "What a Li Dai Tao Jiang!"
He and Shen Qingqian already had some tacit understanding, and knew that the "Li Dai Tao Jiang" she was talking about didn't mean finding someone to replace the Shen family to receive the imperial edict back to the capital, but rather replacing the entire team that delivered the imperial edict!
Sheng Ze explained his understanding and then looked at Shen Qingqian.
"Yes, maybe we can catch them off guard." Shen Qingqian curled his lips, and a hint of cunning flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Sheng Zhan actually wanted her to enter the harem, so how could she not give him a big gift?
