"After the New Year, a martial arts competition will be held, and the replacements will be selected based on the competition results."
As soon as Xiao Yanchu said this, Su Ruojin's eyes turned cold.
The rank of the generals in the Great Chu army varied depending on their location.
The area is small and not a very important garrison, so the generals are of lower rank. In a remote border area like Mohan, which is close to Beili, the generals are at least of the third rank or higher.
Even generals of the same rank received different treatment when they were transferred to different locations.
There's nothing wrong with rotating garrisons based on the results of a competition; it's only natural that those with greater abilities should be stationed in more important locations.
However, Su Wenzhou ran into trouble at this crucial moment, making it impossible for him to participate in the martial arts competition. In the end, he could only be transferred to an unimportant position.
So that's the purpose of coming to the king's aid.
Third Brother is one of the generals that Bei Li is quite wary of. Not allowing Third Brother to be stationed in Mo Han is a good thing for Bei Li.
However, before this matter was even announced, the Prince of Qin was able to find out and set up a plan in advance, which can only be described as the Prince of Qin's excellent information network.
As for where the information came from, it goes without saying.
If Xiao Chenyi and Yao Lan only mentioned the martial arts competition, that would be normal.
However, if the outcome of the martial arts competition is related to the change of garrison in the Great Chu, then revealing this inside story would lead to a different result.
If Qin Wang hadn't known this, why would he have sought out the Dark Alliance to attack Su Wenzhou?
No wonder it only took three months for Su Wenzhou to be unable to get out of bed.
Three months is enough to complete the border garrison rotation; by then, even if Su Wenzhou's leg recovers, it will be too late.
If the Dark Alliance were to kill Su Wenzhou or cripple his legs, not to mention how difficult that would be, the Dark Alliance might not be able to do it in a short time.
Even if it were possible, the murder or sudden maiming of a third-rank general of a country would not escape the notice of those with ulterior motives.
Qin Wang himself is still in the capital of Great Chu. If something is really discovered, he won't be able to get away.
But Su Wenzhou was only slightly injured and would recover in time, so naturally no one would hold a grudge about it.
It must be said that those who pledged allegiance to the emperor were quite cunning.
"Who do you think did it?" Xiao Yanchu suddenly asked.
What Su Ruojin could think of, he could naturally think of as well, but Xiao Yanchu was not sure who did it for the time being.
The original purpose of the martial arts competition was to select talents for the Great Chu, but if someone with ulterior motives intervenes in advance, it can naturally affect the outcome of the competition.
Su Ruojin lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat guilty and unable to look Xiao Yanchu in the eye.
Who did it?
She moved it.
She said she was bored and wanted to go hunting, which made Xing Yue even happier. Apart from Mu Yao, all her other brothers went hunting with her.
For Su Ruojin, it would be an easy task to startle Su Wenzhou's horse and then "accidentally" injure his foot during this process. The Su family would never have guessed that it was their own younger sister who did it.
Su Ruojin just wanted to see what Qin Wang was up to, but she didn't expect it to be for this reason.
Third Brother's foot injury looks serious, but it will be fine overnight once the poison is neutralized, and it won't have any impact at all.
Even if Xiao Yanchu wanted to investigate, it would be difficult to find anything about her actions.
However, she couldn't explain the truth behind it to Xiao Yanchu right now, so she could only laugh it off and say that everything would be discussed when the martial arts competition arrived.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the capital city was adorned with all kinds of lanterns, and the streets were crowded with people admiring them.
Deng Yi came to invite Su Muyao to watch the lanterns together. Muyao was initially embarrassed to go, but eventually, with encouragement from Madam Su, she went out.
Xing Yue went out with Su Yiting in a very open and honest manner. The Lantern Festival in Da Chu was very different from that in Yun Qi, which made her very curious.
