Wearing a book, hooking him up

"The Queen wants to cooperate with me, what does she need me to do?"

Lan Fei raised her head slightly and wiped away her tears hastily, with a hint of anxiety in her red and swollen eyes.

When Su Jingyao saw that she had given in, a relaxed smile suddenly appeared on her face.

His eyes reveal confidence and determination.

"Princess Saihan, now you are asking me to let your family go. Princess Saihan should think about what is worth trading with me."

Su Jingyao folded her hands in front of her, spoke in a calm tone, and her expression was full of majesty.

"Although I have never hurt you, I was the one who saved Ye Shi, and it was Ye Shi who almost killed you. Can you really let go of the past and let me go, and even let my mother and brother go?"

Lan Fei's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of anxiety and suspicion.

She was forced to come and marry because Canglang's lover Erdan was controlled by his brother.

At the beginning, her brother said that as long as she worked hard as a Canglang spy in Junguo, he would take her back after Canglang conquered Junguo, and would personally arrange a marriage between her and Erdan.

The Canglang people do not care as much about whether a woman gets married as the monarch does, and it is even possible for a son to inherit his father's wife.

But now it is obvious that Junguo has already known her intention of coming to Junguo. So is the news that she thought was easily conveyed before true or false?

If Junguo had set a trap for Canglang early on, would Canglang still have a chance of winning?

Lan Fei's hands unconsciously grabbed the grass fluff on the ground, her fingers turned white from the force, and her expression seemed a little dazed.

"I've said, as long as you can give me enough benefits, nothing is impossible."

Su Jingyao leaned forward slightly and moved closer to Lan Fei, still with a smile on her face, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"Besides, isn't this palace alive and well?"

Su Jingyao stood up, gently adjusted her sleeves with both hands, and laughed crisply, as if everything was under her control.

Concubine Lan frowned and lowered her head, her eyes full of thought and her gaze flickering.

Junguo took the initiative to attack Canglang, and must have been sure of victory.

My brother's original plan was to use Yuehui Kingdom to consume Jun Kingdom's military strength, but now Jun Kingdom obviously has sufficient military strength.

The army is so vast and powerful, and the chances of the Canglang winning are as slim as a drop of water in the desert.

The elder brother has killed Erdan, but what about the mother and younger brother?

Even her brother wrote a letter to kill her...

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Lan Fei's eyes, as if to pierce through the anger and pain in her heart.

But...cooperating with the monarch is no different from seeking the skin of a tiger.

She twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, and felt hesitant.

What should she do?

Su Jingyao saw that Concubine Lan was lost in thought, obviously thinking and struggling, so she did not urge her and just stood there leisurely.

With his hands folded leisurely in front of him, he looked calm and waited with peaceful eyes for her to figure things out.

"I need a guarantee."

Concubine Lan raised her head, her eyes were firm and her tone was unquestionable.

Su Jingyao chuckled, with a hint of contempt in her laughter.

"Princess Lan, you have to know that it is you who is begging me now, not me begging you. Even without you, the kingdom will win. If you surrender to me, perhaps the casualties of the Canglang people will not be so serious."

She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of majesty.

"Otherwise, swords have no eyes. Your brother is also a warrior of Canglang. He might die on the battlefield someday."

Su Jingyao had read a collection of customs about Canglang before and knew that the terrain of Canglang was dangerous.

Although Jun Zechen should be familiar with this kind of terrain, if they had the topographic map provided by the Canglang Royal Family, they would definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

What's more, Jun Zechen also took her brother with him. If anything happened to her brother, she wouldn't know how to explain to her father and mother.

Since there is a ready-made Canglang Princess in the palace, make full use of her.

"Okay, I don't want to waste any more time talking to you. I want the topographic map of Canglang."

Su Jingyao stared straight at Lan Fei with a serious expression.

Canglang's topographic map?

Concubine Lan did know that she was the princess of Canglang and Erdan was one of the best warriors of Canglang. She had accompanied Erdan to various fortresses of Canglang.

Concubine Lan's face was full of struggle, and she was fighting fiercely in her heart.

She was still struggling with the question of whether she really wanted to commit treason.

Does she really want to be a traitor?

But it was Canglang who abandoned her first...

My brother also killed Erdan...

She was not betraying, she just wanted to save her mother and brother.

Lan Fei's body trembled slightly, and her eyes were sometimes firm and sometimes confused.

-

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Su Jingyao left the dark and damp cell of the Ministry of Punishment.

Her originally straight back seemed to relax at this moment, and there was a barely perceptible sense of relief on her face.

Su Jingyao, who originally wanted to see Ye for the last time, now felt physically and mentally exhausted.

She turned slightly and looked at Xilu beside her.

"Xilu, please deliver the poisoned wine to Ye. I am tired and will go back to rest."

After saying that, she gently raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, with fatigue in her eyes.

"This time, we must make sure that Ye drinks this fatal wine."

Su Jingyao's voice was slightly low, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely do it properly."

Xilu quickly bent down to answer, his face full of respect and caution.

When Jun Zechen was not in the palace, Su Jingyao lived an especially happy life.

The women in the harem were not very mischievous, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Every day, she would either stroll around the garden to check on the stars’ homework, or play with the twins with a loving face.

Or he might sit at the table and handle some trivial matters in the six palaces in an orderly manner.

This kind of leisurely and comfortable life made her feel more relaxed.

Half a month later, Su Jingyao finally got Lan Fei's topographic map.

The artist who drew the topographic map was from Jun Zechen's army, specializing in drawing topographic maps.

The Kingdom of Qishi Canglang does have a topographic map, but it is incomplete, and Su Jingyao needs Concubine Lan to fill in these incomplete parts.

Because it is precisely these inconspicuous places that are the key to victory.

Su Jingyao examined it carefully and immediately sent someone to deliver the topographic map to Jun Zechen in the form of an urgent secret report.

I hope it's useful to him.

Thousands of miles away in the Canglang Country, Jun Zechen has been unstoppable over the past month.

The twelve cities of Lizhou of Canglang Kingdom have been successfully captured.

Lizhou is the weakest urban area in Canglang Kingdom and became Jun Zechen's primary target.

If you want to attack the imperial city of Canglang Kingdom directly, you need to pass through Qingzhou and Yuzhou.

Both of these places are the most prosperous and powerful places in Canglang Kingdom, with complex and varied terrain and landforms.

Strange peaks and steep mountains rise into the clouds, deep valleys and gullies crisscross each other, fast-flowing rivers rush endlessly, and the vast desert is boundless.

Such strange and rugged terrain made the attack extremely difficult.

The Canglang Kingdom is fearless because of its unique topography.

Even if Lizhou was temporarily occupied by Junguo, it would be impossible for Junguo to keep sending troops to garrison Lizhou as long as it did not reach the imperial city.

Because once the troops withdraw, the Canglang Kingdom will be able to easily resume its control over Lizhou.

If you invade a monarchy and win, you can take a piece of the fat meat from it; if you lose, you can only give some compensation.

At this time, Jun Zechen led the generals to directly occupy a city lord's mansion in Lizhou, and all the generals who followed him to the expedition gathered in the lobby.

Jun Zechen had a serious look on his face, sitting upright in the highest seat, his stern face like a sculpture, expressionless.

The generals including Su Jingxuan sat on both sides of the hall, each of them sitting upright with a focused expression.

There have been many fierce conflicts between Jun State and Canglang State in the past. However, Canglang State is like a tenacious weed. It can be knocked down but can never be completely eliminated.

In order to completely solve the serious threat of the Canglang Kingdom once and for all, Jun Zechen resolutely decided to go into battle personally.

At this moment, he was holding tightly in his hand a topographic map of the Canglang Kingdom that he had secretly drawn.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes were focused and sharp.

However, due to many restrictions, the details of many military fortresses cannot be known with certainty.

After all, the spies sent to the Canglang Kingdom could only disguise themselves as merchants, herdsmen and the like.

Those heavily guarded military fortresses are naturally inaccessible.

At this moment, a soldier's powerful and urgent voice suddenly came, "Urgent secret report————"

The soldier came in quickly with a brisk pace, and then respectfully presented the secret report with his body slightly bent.

An Shun on the side hurriedly took it and handed it to Jun Zechen.

Jun Zechen's expression froze as he opened the secret report. One of the copies was actually a topographic map of the Canglang Kingdom, and there was also a piece of letter paper.

The moment Jun Zechen saw the topographic map, he was very surprised.

Compared with the other topographic map in his hand, the topographic map in the secret report was not only more detailed but also more clearly marked.

Jun Zechen opened the letter again and slowly opened it to take a look.

My husband, it’s like seeing you in person.

Now I am entrusting you to send an urgent secret message so that the important things can be delivered to your husband.

With some clever tricks, he obtained a map of Canglang from Princess Saihan.

This map details the Canglang Mountains, cities, passes and other key locations.

But my husband must not be careless to prevent fraud.

To the east of Canglang, there are continuous mountains, where you can hide your troops and launch surprise attacks; to the west, there are winding rivers, so you need to be on guard against enemy naval forces; to the south, there are dense jungles, where there may be ambushes; and to the north, the cities are strong, so a strong attack may result in heavy casualties.

I hope my husband can be flexible and observant during the battle, and never rely on others blindly.

I am at the rear, worried about my husband's safety.

I wish my husband will return victorious so that we can enjoy the mountains and rivers together.

Jun Zechen's gaze lingered on the letter for a long time, and the familiar handwriting seemed to carry her warmth.

He didn't know how many times he had read the contents of the letter, his eyes filled with longing and tenderness.

He hadn't seen her for almost two months, and the longing in his heart was as surging as the tide.

Knowing that she was so worried about him in the rear, Jun Zechen was deeply moved.

A warm and powerful feeling spread in his chest.
