The eldest son is fierce

Qianniang was the woman Tang Yi saved from the disaster victims during his mission to provide disaster relief. She was gentle and caring, and she was responsible for helping Du Lingfei manage household affairs at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion.

He is the true steward of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion!

How could she be the person arranged by the eldest princess to be by Tang Yi's side?

"Sister Meixiang, Sister Shujian, please don't..."

Lvliu held Meixiang and Qin Rui's hands and said, "Sister Qianniang is just the most suspicious. We can't conclude that it's her just because she's the most suspicious. If we're wrong, it would be very hurtful."

"Let's write a letter to Sister Ling Fei first. Let's see what Sister Ling Fei says. We need to do this, but we can't hide it from my husband and Sister Ling Fei. Otherwise, with my husband's temper, he'll get angry, which is very scary."

"Sister Qianniang has never harmed anyone. She has never harmed anyone in the Marquis' Mansion."

In a word, Qin Shujian and Meixiang were stunned where they stood. Yes, Qianniang was just the most suspicious. Although her appearance was reasonable, she seemed to have a strong purpose. But she had indeed never harmed anyone in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Meixiang raised her hand and rubbed Lvliu's hair. In the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, Lvliu and Qianniang were the closest. This girl had lacked maternal love since childhood. Qianniang's meticulous care might have made her feel the long-lost warmth.

"Your Highness, I also think Qianniang is not that kind of person. Let's write a letter to Big Sister first!"

Meixiang said, "If Big Sister asks us to check, it won't be too late. It will only take a few days anyway."

Qin Shujian frowned slightly, but Meixiang and Lvliu held her back, so she could only shake her head and said, "Okay, let's discuss it with Tang Yi and Du Lingfei first and see what they say."

"Lvliu, you stay and take care of Tang Yi, and write a letter to Du Lingfei to explain the situation."

"Meixiang, let's go meet Qin Shinian. Since my husband told us to let go and talk, let's talk to Qin Shinian at our own pace."

Meixiang nodded.

Lvliu watched Qin Shujian and Meixiang leave, wanting to say something but stopping herself. "You say the best way to relieve stress on your husband is sex, but I'm still a virgin. What should I do if my husband wants me? I don't know how to do it..."

……

An hour later, in the hall of Zhennan Palace.

The generals of the New Army and the Zhennan Army were already sitting in the hall, all with solemn expressions.

Tang Yi walked quickly out of the backyard, and all the generals stood up. Tang Yi walked straight to the main seat, placed his hands on the table, and said, "I came here today for two reasons. First, from today on, the military and political power of the Southern Territory will be decided by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. The generals of the Southern Guard Army and the border troops will all obey the orders of the Prince of Yan."

"All officials in every city and county must obey His Royal Highness Prince Yan's orders, but anyone who dares to disobey will be executed on the spot. Of course, Su Yunyan and others will be left behind to assist."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Tang Yi with surprise on their faces. Tang Yi had just killed two great masters, Huangfu Zong and Tokugawa Jin, and his prestige was at its highest.

Shouldn't he be pursuing his victory and making a name for himself? Why does it feel like he's leaving?

"There's a crisis in Kyoto. I'm afraid Your Majesty can't handle it. I have to return to Kyoto to take charge."

Tang Yi saw the confusion on everyone's faces and said, "Second, the new army artillery battalion, the air force, the first, second, and third battalions, follow me back to Kyoto, the fourth and fifth battalions will stay and garrison the mall."

"Wait until Sun Chong leads the Zhennan Army back to Shangcheng, then you will set off back to Kyoto. Then order Li Hu and Song Yi to lead two companies directly back to Kyoto from the Tianyong Pass battlefield."

Cheng Mo's face changed slightly, and he bowed to Tang Yi and said, "General, think twice. Leading troops back to the capital without an imperial decree is tantamount to treason. Moreover, those passes and cities on the way will not let us pass without an imperial decree."

Tang Yi's face was gloomy. He said, "Something has changed in the capital. It will take at least a month to wait for the imperial edict to return to the capital. By then, I'm afraid that what I will receive will not be the imperial edict to return to the capital, but an imperial edict ordering me to drink poison and commit suicide."

"Time waits for no one. I have already ordered the Imperial Guards, the Secret Service, and the Unruly People to pass on the news of the return to the capital to His Majesty through their respective special channels. We will wait for the imperial decree on the way back to the capital."

When Cheng Mo heard what Tang Yi said, although he was worried, he didn't say anything else.

"Anyone else has any objections? If not, then execute it immediately..."

Tang Yi was about to give an order when Lvliu, who was waiting outside, ran in: "Tang Shuai, Mr. Wei is here and is waiting for you in the study."

Wei Yuan?!

Tang Yi's face lit up with joy, and he said to the generals, "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Tang Yi turned around and walked out quickly. The originally quiet hall suddenly became noisy, and the generals of the New Army and the Zhennan Army were all talking.

……

Zhennan Palace, study.

When Tang Yi ran into the study, he saw Wei Yuan sitting behind the desk. He was pale, but looked in good spirits, and was reading his battle plan.

"Why isn't such a good battle plan being carried out?"

Seeing him, Wei Yuan asked with a smile.

Tang Yi choked up for a moment before calming down his emotions: "Something has changed in Kyoto."

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "When a general is away from home, he may not obey the king's orders."

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "Kyoto is unstable, and there is no rear support. Without rear support, this battle will be difficult to fight..."

Wei Yan shook his head and smiled: "This is not a problem for you."

Tang Yi narrowed his eyes. He was a little confused about what Wei Yuan meant. He said, "If I don't return to Kyoto, the emperor might die."

Wei Yuan leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, put down the battle plan in his hand, and looked at Tang Yi: "Then replace him."

"I you!"

Tang Yi jumped up in shock. "Wei Yuan, are you fucking crazy? You want me to kill my best brother, the emperor who treats me like a son, my wife Du Lingfei, and even sacrifice my lovely little sister?!"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "A real man, one who accomplishes great things..."

"Fuck you, get out!"

Tang Yi walked up directly, took out a revolver from his holster, slammed it on the table, and glared at Wei Yuan, saying, "Mr. Wei, what on earth do you want? Just tell me the truth."

Wei Yuan glanced at the revolver on the table and said, "I will go back to Kyoto. You stay in the Southern Territory and clean up the mess. If we have to fight, we must fight thoroughly. Don't let the hundreds of thousands of Southern Territory civilians who died in the war die in vain."

"I'll buy you three months. Within those three months, you must defeat Nan Jing and make him submit."

"Three months, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong in Kyoto."

Tang Yi was completely bewildered. What on earth do you mean, you old man? You want me to rebel, and you want me to attack Nanjing at the same time. Are you testing me, or are you kidding me?

"The 98k is gone, but don't tell me you don't know how to fight this war without it."

Tang Yi shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Even without the 98k, I can still fight this battle. But Nanjing still has the Anjing Tower... Hiss, old man, do you want me to avenge you?"

Lvliu served Wei Yuan a pot of tea and poured a cup for him personally. Wei Yuan stared at Tang Yi while holding the tea and said:

"What? You don't want to?!"
