After guarding the border for his father for three years, the daughter-in-law returns home and becom

In the study room.

Chu Yang paced alone, tapping the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem.

"With Zhou Yu in charge of the South China Sea, those bastards from Japan and Yuenan Kingdom can't make any waves."

"The most urgent task is Chu Qi's 100,000 troops!"

Chu Yang said to himself, with a sneer on his face, "It seems that this battle has to be won from the inside."

He thought of the ambitious Third Prince Chu Qi in the court, and thought to himself: "A hundred thousand troops, so mighty and powerful, will take at least a month to reach Qiongzhou. This month is enough for me to do a lot of things."

"Nanling City."

Chu Yang's eyes fell on the map spread out on the table, and his finger gently tapped a point on the map.

"Sun Fengtian, Yang Yuhuan... hum, interesting."

The image of Yang Yuhuan emerged in his mind: her skin was as white as jade, and her every frown and smile was full of charm.

"It is said that even heroes cannot resist the temptation of beauty. I want to see how charming Yang Yuhuan is."

A bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Chu Yang stroked his chin, a playful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"If I can marry Yang Yuhuan and win over Sun Fengtian, then Chu Qi's every move will be under my control, right?"

"But I have kidnapped Yang Yuhuan. What should I do if Sun Fengtian doesn't trust me?"

"Looks like I have to send someone there as a hostage!"

Thinking of this, he had made up his mind.

"Someone come here!" Chu Yang shouted.

"What do you want, Your Highness?" The guard outside the door immediately responded and came in.

"Go, call General Xing."

"Yes!"

Soon.

Xing Daorong rushed to the study in a hurry. He was tall and strong, with a full beard and a loud voice.

"Your Highness, what do you want from me?"

Chu Yang pointed to the map on the table and said, "General Xing, get ready and follow me to Nanling City."

Xing Daorong looked puzzled and asked, "Going to Nanling City? What for? Sending troops?"

"Send troops? Of course we should, but not now."

Chu Yang's mouth curled up slightly, "This time, I'm going there mainly to go shopping, and by the way, see if I can find you a wife."

"lady?"

Xing Daorong was stunned at first, then he scratched his head and said in a muffled voice: "I am already this old, why do I need a wife?"

Chu Yang patted his shoulder and said meaningfully.

"How can a man achieve success without a confidante? Don't worry, I promise that the one I will introduce to you this time will definitely be a stunning beauty!"

Although Xing Daorong was confused, he always obeyed Chu Yang's words, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just grinned and answered in a muffled voice.

"Hehe, since it is arranged by His Highness, then I will respectfully obey your orders!"

Chu Yang looked at Xing Daorong's mellow appearance and smiled secretly in his heart.

The reason why he chose to take Xing Daorong with him was, on the one hand, because Zhao Yun needed to stay in Qiongzhou.

On the other hand, he also wanted to use Xing Daorong's rough character to intimidate Sun Fengtian and let him know that he was not a soft persimmon that could be squeezed at will.

At the same time, he also wanted to let Sun Fengtian know that he only had reckless men under his command, but no strategists!

"Sun Fengtian, ah Sun Fengtian, please don't let me down..."

Chu Yang looked towards the direction of Nanling City, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

that's it.

Chu Yang took Xing Daorong and several trusted men to Nanling City.

The warm sunshine of Qiongzhou shines on the official road, and the wild flowers on the roadside are in full bloom, red and yellow, like colorful carpets.

But Chu Yang and his companions had no intention of appreciating the beautiful spring scenery. They spurred their horses and headed straight for Nanling City.

"Your Highness, Nanling City is just ahead. I will tell you the city's name and ask them to welcome us."

Xing Daorong reined in his horse and spoke in a muffled voice, his rugged face full of excitement.

It was as if he was not going to meet some local powerful person, but to attend some lively banquet.

Hear this.

Chu Yang was not in a hurry, but shook his head slowly, with a playful smile on his lips.

"General Xing, don't worry. Why don't we wait for a while and confront the soldiers guarding the city outside the city."

"When Sun Fengtian comes, won't he apologize to us?"

"In this case, he would owe us a favor."

When Xing Daorong heard this, he was stunned. He stared with his big eyes and asked in confusion.

"Your Highness, why is this? You are the prince, and Sun Fengtian is just the Lord of Nanling City. How can he not give you face?"

Chu Yang chuckled, patted Xing Daorong on the shoulder, and said meaningfully.

"General Xing, you don't know this. Sun Fengtian is no pushover."

"If he wants to see you, he will naturally go out of the city to welcome you, and he will also bring all the officials of Nanling City to welcome you."

"If they don't want to see us, wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to go in with such fanfare?"

Xing Daorong scratched his head. Although he still didn't quite understand Chu Yang's intention, he always obeyed Chu Yang's words, so he nodded in response.

"Your Highness is wise. I will arrange it right away."

After saying this, Xing Daorong dismounted from his horse and gave a few instructions to his trusted men behind him.

Soon.

The originally huge team stopped in an open space not far from the city gate.

Chu Yang, Xing Daorong and the others dismounted from their horses and waited in place in a pretentious manner.

On the wall of Nanling City, several soldiers guarding the city were looking outside the city with boredom.

"Hey, what day is today? Why are there so many people outside the city suddenly?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's just another caravan passing by."

"That's not right. Look at their attire. Do they look like an ordinary caravan?"

A young soldier pointed at the Chu flags fluttering in the wind in the distant team and said in confusion.

"Huh? It's true! Could this flag with the word 'Chu' on it be the King of Qiong?"

At this time, the expression of an older soldier changed, as if he realized something. He quickly put down the spear in his hand and shouted loudly to several soldiers beside him.

"Quick! Go and tell the general that an important person has arrived outside the city!"

Under the city gate.

Chu Yang looked at the soldiers running around in panic on the top of the city wall, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“It seems like this Sun Fengtian is just so-so.” Chu Yang thought to himself.

Time passed minute by minute, but the city gate remained closed, with no sign of opening.

Xing Daorong was getting a little impatient waiting, he walked over to Chu Yang and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Your Highness, we have been waiting for almost an hour. Could it be that Sun Fengtian is deliberately leaving us alone?"

Chu Yang waved his hand, signaling him to be patient, and said calmly.

"No rush, just wait."

at this time.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried horse hooves in the distance.

Chu Yang, Xing Daorong and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people galloping towards them.

The leader, wearing silver armor, holding a spear, riding a black horse, looked heroic. He was the lord of Nanling City, Sun Fengtian.

At the same time, he was followed by several followers in official uniforms.

It was obvious that the entire city came out to welcome Chu Yang.
