With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

When the servants heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all declined.

Each one was shaking even more than the lanterns just now, muttering:

"The house cannot be left without servants, my lord!"

"Yes, sir, who will take care of you when we leave?"

"Sir, this is unreasonable!"

When Lu Yan heard this, he almost laughed at their old-fashioned excuse.

These guys don’t have to be so serious in acting, right?

If you don’t know, you might think I’m abusing them!

He pretended to be angry, raising his eyebrows and glaring, just like an old actor on the stage.

"What's going on? What I said is no longer effective? Get back here now!"

"Do you still want me to take you back personally?"

As he spoke, Lu Yan pretended to roll up his sleeves.

He looks like he's going to do something big.

The servants were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:

"No, no, no, sir, we'll go back right away, right away!"

Lu Yan looked at their fleeing backs, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Hey, you little bastard, you want to play with me? I can't deal with you anymore!

After the hustle and bustle died down, Lu Yan was the only one left in the huge mansion.

The empty room and the cold air made him feel a little uncomfortable.

At this time of year in previous years, he would celebrate the New Year with his family.

Now that I am alone, I can't help feeling a little lonely.

This loneliness made him think about starting a family.

He also wants to have a home of his own and a warm harbor in this land.

Chen Qingwan's figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Her stunning beauty and noble and cold temperament made his heart beat fast.

"No, no, this woman is too tricky, I really can't control her!"

Lu Yan shook his head vigorously and put the thought behind him.

"If I really want to be with her, won't she lead me around by the nose? No, absolutely not!"

Lu Yan secretly warned himself in his heart.

But Chen Qingwan's figure was like a curse, lingering and becoming clearer and clearer.

He scratched his hair irritably and paced back and forth in the room.

"Damn it, what are you thinking! This is a critical moment."

"All that talk of love and affection has to stand aside!"

Lu Yan slapped himself hard to wake himself up.

Then he looked in the mirror again, left, right, up and down.

Admire your own stunning beauty from all angles.

He smoothed his shiny black hair and pinched his angular chin.

He nodded with satisfaction.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such handsomeness, such suaveness, it's simply earth-shattering and soul-stirring."

"He has charmed thousands of girls, but what a pity, he just needs someone to warm their bed."

He shook his head and sighed, as if he was some kind of extraordinary genius, unparalleled in the world.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Like a death warrant, it broke the beautiful atmosphere.

"Dong-dong-dong! Dang-dong-dong-dong!"

The knocking on the door became more and more urgent and louder, as if it was going to break the door down.

"Sir! Sir! Urgent military information! It's extremely urgent! The situation is urgent!"

"It's the end of the world! The sky is falling!"

The voice of the night owl came from outside the door, with an imperceptible tremor.

There were also a few broken sounds, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Lu Yan opened the door impatiently and looked at Ye Xiao with a constipated expression.

It seemed as if it would burst out in the next second.

"Hey Night Owl, are you constipated? Why is your face wrinkled like a bitter gourd?

Someone who didn't know would think someone had died in your family! What can't be discussed tomorrow?

Don't you know I'm thinking about the most important thing in life? Do you understand the important matter of marriage?

A major event concerning the inheritance of my Lu family's incense!

If you delay my lifelong event, I will peel off your skin!"

Lu Yan started to scold Ye Xiao harshly.

Ye Xiao ignored Lu Yan's complaints and quickly handed over a secret report.

The tone was as rapid as a machine gun:

"My lord, this is a huge news! The Empress... the Empress she... she... she took Jingzhou! She took it! She took it!"

The sound of the night owl became smaller and smaller, and finally became almost the hum of a mosquito.

"What the hell? Was it taken by Jingzhou? Why would she want to steal that thing in such a remote place?"

"Is he crazy? Having a seizure? Or was he caught in the door?"

Lu Yan snatched the secret report and scanned it quickly.

The expression on his face gradually became solemn, as if he had eaten a fly.

Although Jingzhou is poor, it is a key route connecting the north and the south and has extraordinary strategic significance.

The empress's capture of Jingzhou was like driving a nail under Lu Yan's nose.

It made him feel like there was something stuck in his throat, he was sitting on pins and needles, he felt like he was treading on thin ice.

"This woman is really capable!"

Lu Yan touched his chin, narrowed his eyes, and thought secretly in his mind.

Night Owl asked cautiously:

"My Lord, how...how should we respond?"

Lu Yan smiled:

"Deal with it? Why should we deal with it? Datong belongs to someone else. It's none of our business."

"Let's just mind our own business."

He waved his hand and said,

"By the way, how's the World Games going?"

Night Owl was confused:

"Sports meet? What sports meet? What time is it now? And there's still a sports meet?"

Lu Yan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized:

"Oh, I haven't told you this yet. I'm going to hold a World Sports Meet!"

"A World Games unprecedented in history, unparalleled before and after, shocking the world and attracting worldwide attention!"

"Sports meet? My Lord, this… is this appropriate? This is wartime!"

"Shouldn't we focus on the military?"

Night Owl was still a little confused.

"It's suitable, so suitable!"

Lu Yan waved his hand with great heroism.

"Sports make a country strong! Do you understand? The body is the capital of revolution!"

"Besides, this sports meet is also a good opportunity for publicity, allowing the world to see the prosperity of our Shannan Prefecture."

"And by the way, let's scare those scoundrels!"

Although Ye Xiao was still a little confused, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and just took the order and left.

Lu Yan looked at Ye Xiao's hurriedly leaving back, with a playful smile on his face.

That smile contained three parts cunning, three parts complacency, and three parts expectation.

The other point is...well...pure silliness.

He rubbed his hands, and his mind had already foreseen the grand occasion of Shannan Prefecture in the future:

Merchants gathered, the place was bustling with people, and gold and silver flowed into his small treasury like water.

"Hey hey hey..."

He couldn't help but let out a villainous chuckle.

Ostensibly, this sports meet was intended to showcase the strength of Shannan Prefecture.

Actually... hehehe...

"The drunkard's interest is not in wine, but in the mountains and rivers!"

Lu Yan recited while shaking his head.

"Showing the strength of our Shannan Prefecture's troops and horses"

That's a must!

When the time comes, I will have my soldiers wear golden armor, ride on Ferghana horses, and perform in formation!

That scene is so domineering just thinking about it!
