The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Gu Yan'an then turned to look at Su Jingchen and asked in a deep voice, "Is the blood letter of the hundred generals here, Brother Su?"

Su Jingchen shook his head: "We encountered an ambush that day. The blood letter is with my fourth brother. Ningning has sent someone to secretly escort Ayi to deliver the blood letter to the Imperial Capital. If nothing goes wrong on the way, it should be delivered soon. How is the prince doing?"

Gu Yan'an nodded slightly: "The Nanji people who colluded with Chen Xu have been secretly stopped by me, and Chen Xu hasn't found out yet. The Queen Mother will leave for Beijing in three days, and Chen Xu will definitely cause trouble before the Queen Mother leaves the East Territory. So within five days, Chen Xu will make a move."

"Five days? It will take four or five days to travel from the capital to the East Territory even if we ride at full speed. There is no time to mobilize troops. Where can we find troops that can compete with Chen Xu within five days? If we really allow Chen Xu and the Queen Mother to cause chaos in the East Territory at will, the people will suffer!" Su Jingchen frowned.

The Netherworld Guards in the hands of the Queen Mother could suppress Chen Xu for a while, but the chaos in the East Territory was originally planned by the Queen Mother and Chen Xu. If the Queen Mother really suppressed this matter, it would be the Queen Mother's wish, giving her a chance to keep the East Territory navy in her hands.

Given the Queen Mother's methods, it would be extremely difficult to take back the navy from the East Territory in the future.

"In addition to the Netherworld Guards, there is another army that can hold Chen Xu back." Su Jingning, who had been listening to their conversation, spoke up.

"Jizhou's subordinate troops." She looked at Gu Yan'an and said.

Gu Yan'an looked at her sideways with a smile in his eyes. She thought the same as he did.

Jizhou is closest to the Eastern Border and is a southern prefecture adjacent to the Eastern Border.

"Jizhou? But Jizhou's army has no more than 30,000 soldiers. How can they compete with Chen Xu?" Su Jingchen frowned.

Su Jingning smiled and shook his head: "If it were an ordinary 30,000 soldiers, they would definitely not be able to defeat them, but the commander of the Jizhou Army, Guan Hong, is a genius in using troops. The Jizhou Army he leads is much stronger than ordinary soldiers."

After Chen Xu died in the previous life, His Majesty handed over part of the military power of the East Territory to Guan Hong, the former governor of the Jizhou Army. Guan Hong was born in an aristocratic family, valued loyalty and trustworthiness, and had real talent. After that part of the East Territory navy came into his hands, it became a powerful army in the East Territory.

"Chen Xu is suspicious and cautious by nature. Only 30,000 soldiers are needed to scare him." Gu Yan'an looked at Su Jingchen and said in a deep voice.

He paused, and continued, "It's just that Guan Hong, the governor of Jizhou Army, is very cautious in his actions. If we want to ask him to send troops, Brother Su may have to go there in person."

"Okay, I'll leave at that time." Su Jingchen nodded in agreement.

"I have arranged for someone to wait outside and will send you out of the city tonight. Chen Xu doesn't dare to check on my people."

Su Jingchen nodded, then looked at Su Jingning, and said with apology in his eyes: "Ningning, you will go back with Lord Ye tomorrow. When I finish my business, I will go to Wandu Valley to pick you up."

Su Jingning could only nod and gently reminded: "Got it, brother, be careful on the road."

Su Jingchen was relieved to see that she didn't ask him to leave with her. He turned to look at Gu Yan'an and said, "There is no time to lose. I'd better leave as soon as possible."

Gu Yan'an called Mo You in, and then ordered: "Take my token and go with them to escort Brother Su out of the city first."

"Yes." Mo You responded.

Gu Yan'an said to Su Jingchen again: "After Brother Su mobilizes the troops, secretly withdraw some of them to Fenghai Town and join the people I arranged there. If Chen Xu wants to withdraw his troops from the coastal defense, stop his people."

Su Jingchen nodded in agreement.

Then he gave Su Jingning a few more instructions and hurriedly left with Mo You.

He must ask the Jizhou troops to come back within five days.

Su Jingning stood by the window, leaning forward slightly to watch Su Jingchen leave. He did not withdraw his gaze until his back disappeared, feeling vaguely uneasy.

In her previous life, she was accustomed to the indifference of the world. The people that her Su family had protected with their lives, after the entire Su family was unjustly killed, all they got in return was a ridiculous "You deserved it!"

Therefore, in her new life, she didn't care about anyone's life or death except her family. But her brother was different from her. The Su family's ancestral teachings were to protect the country and the people. Everyone in the Su family took it as their responsibility to protect the country and the people. They would not sit idly by and watch the people suffer from the war without being moved.

"Don't worry, my people will protect your brother." Gu Yan'an stood beside her, saw the worry in her eyes, and spoke to comfort her.

Su Jing tilted his head to look at him, hiding the worry in his eyes, and smiled at him: "My eldest brother is the young commander of the Su family army, he doesn't need your people to protect him."

There was arrogance in her soft voice.

Gu Yan'an looked at the arrogant girl with a bright smile, and there was tenderness in his eyes. His fierce and terrifying aura softened a little. He chuckled, leaned down slightly and looked at her closely, his eyes were gentle and deep, as if he wanted to see her in his eyes.

Su Jingning felt embarrassed when he looked at her, and turned away her eyes slightly, thinking of the shock and chill he felt when he first saw her today. He must have been angry at her for not telling him about coming to the East Territory.

She asked cautiously, "I didn't tell you that I came to the East Territory. Are you angry today?"

Gu Yan'an didn't expect her to ask this suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly and reached out to rub her drooping head:

"Su Jingning, I won't be angry with you."

He had experienced the most painful betrayal and extreme loneliness in the world. The world's prosperity and endless noise could not stay in his heart.

She is the only one in his world, so he will never hurt her or leave her.

Su Jingning looked at the smile on his lips. The blood mole at the corner of his eye made him even more charming. His face was noble and he was extremely proud.

With such looks, he will attract so many romantic interests!

Today, Shen Zhiyi wanted to stick her eyes on him. It seemed that she had not learned her lesson yet and still dared to covet her man.

Thinking about it, a chill seeped into his brows. Suddenly, he looked at Gu Yan'an and said softly:

"Blue men are the root of trouble!"

"What did you say?" Gu Yan'an turned around and sat down, supporting his head with one hand, looking at her with some amusement.

"I say you are really a disaster caused by a beautiful woman. Shen Zhiyi has hidden here, but he is still obsessed with you!" Su Jingning glared at him and said unhappily.

Seeing her angry look, Gu Yanan felt it was funny. He said in a clear voice with a smile: "Don't worry, even if I am a male friend who brings disaster, I am only your male friend. I will not bring disaster to others."

Su Jingning saw that he was not doing anything serious, so he was too lazy to continue to care about him. He prepared to go out to see if his senior sister had returned.

Ashi's voice was heard outside the door:

"Seventh Miss."

Su Jingning walked over and opened the door: "Ashi?"

Ah Shi stood outside the door respectfully. When she saw her son opening the door, she bowed slightly to him and said:

"Seventh Miss, the Valley Master wants you to come over."

Su Jingning turned around and glanced at Gu Yan'an who was still sitting on the chair, and suddenly remembered that he had not told her about his relationship with Wan Du Valley.

"I'll go over there first and explain it to you when I come back."

Ah Shi raised her head slightly and saw that there was a man in the Seventh Girl's room. She had seen that man during the day. The Southern Territory Governor treated him with caution and courtesy. He had a noble and elegant appearance, and a cold and murderous aura that kept strangers away.

There was a flash of vigilance in A Shi's eyes. Why was he in Seventh Girl's room?

Gu Yan'an glanced coldly at Ah Shi and Su Jingning who were looking at him, and nodded slowly. The coldness in his eyes frightened Ah Shi so much that she immediately lowered her head.

Seeing him nod, Su Jingning followed A Shi out.

After she left, Gu Yan'an thought of the bloody mandala embroidered on the corner of Ah Shi's face towel, and a hint of thought flashed across his eyes.

Blood Mandala, that poison girl is the guardian of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. Even though the Ten Thousand Poison Valley is in the Eastern Territory, even Chen Xu doesn't dare to provoke it easily. What is Ningning's relationship with them?
