#769 - I suggest you stop being an emperor.

Young Master Chu.

Her embroidered eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her eyes like deep pools in the winter.

Who this "Young Master Chu" referred to was obvious, so Yang Liu Shi didn't speak immediately, but silently watched the man opposite her, and after a long while, slowly asked:

"Wang Kang? Is that right?"

"...Indeed, it is I."

His eyes flickered, the Ten Dog Army Commandant's expression clearly surprised: "I didn't expect that Madam still remembers my name."

"..."

Yang Liu Shi glanced at the man, her gaze quite meaningful.

This Wang Kang was among the first batch of Shu Army elites to join the Ten Dog Army, with decent strength and brains.

Yang Liu Shi had been in the Shiwan Mountains with Du Chang, responsible for training the Ten Dog Army, so she remembered him.

Of course, although there weren't many officers at the Commandant level, there weren't few either, so Yang Liu Shi had previously thought he was no different from anyone else, and had no particular impression of him.

But at this moment, when this Wang Kang quietly came to her door, claiming to be Chu Xianping's man, then...

"How long?"

Suddenly, Yang Liu Shi coldly asked: "How long have you been following Chu Xianping?"

"Reporting to Madam, it has been over a year."

"Do you know that Chu Xianping has now rebelled?"

"I know."

"Oh? Then you are also going to rebel?"

"I dare not."

Lowering his head and cupping his hands, Wang Kang's tone was calm: "I have never done anything detrimental to the Ten Dog Army or Young Master Wei."

"Is that so?"

Yang Liu Shi chuckled, clearly disdaining this statement, her eyes growing colder.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now?"

"Madam, since I dared to come, I naturally prepared myself for not returning."

Wang Kang paused, looking directly into Yang Liu Shi's eyes without any fear.

"However, before you act, wouldn't you like to hear why Young Master Chu sent me here?"

"..."

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Yang Liu Shi looked at the man opposite her without saying a word, the surrounding air gradually becoming tense.

After a few breaths, she finally uttered a single word.

"Speak."

"..."

Fengyuan City, Xin Feng Imperial Palace.

"All of you, leave."

Just as Chu Xianping's man had suddenly come to Yang Liu Shi, in a certain magnificent side hall, a group of palace maids and imperial physicians also bowed and exited the hall at Xu Sui Sui's signal.

And after they left, the latter's expression immediately changed from dignified to relaxed, looking at Wei Changtian, who had just sat up from the bed, and asked:

"The imperial physician said your injuries aren't serious. How do you feel?"

"It's nothing, just minor injuries."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian's wounds had already been bandaged, and his face had regained its color.

"It's just that my internal energy was depleted too much, it'll take a few days to recover."

"Oh, then you should rest well. Tell me if you need anything."

Xu Sui Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but her expression still pretended to be very calm: "Anyway, the enemy army has been driven away by you, and with the Heavenly Buddha Formation, they definitely won't attack the city again in the next few days."

"You should heal your body first, and the rest... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Did I... Did I say something wrong again?"

Noticing Wei Changtian's disdainful gaze, Xu Sui Sui's tone suddenly changed from calm to nervous.

Wei Changtian curled his lips, answering with some speechlessness:

"To be honest, I really don't recommend that you continue being the emperor."

"With your IQ, even if the world becomes peaceful in the future, Xin Feng will definitely not go anywhere good."

"Really, think about it carefully, just find a handsome guy to marry..."

Looking at Xu Sui Sui, Wei Changtian's half-teasing, half-serious voice echoed in the hall.

The former immediately blushed, arguing with a stiff neck:

"What's wrong with my IQ! Don't insult me!"

"I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened last night!"

"Hmph! Running off to the enemy's camp alone, do you think you're especially impressive!"

"Didn't you think about the consequences if something happened to you!"

"Yes! I'm not as smart as you!"

"But you're not much better! All you do is show off your brute force!"

Glaring at Wei Changtian, Xu Sui Sui said a lot of words in one breath, and it seemed like she wasn't finished yet.

Just as she took a deep breath for a "halftime break," Wei Changtian used only five words to force all the remaining words back into her stomach.

"Did something happen to me?"

"..."

Her eyes widened, Xu Sui Sui's earlobes turning red. She opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but she couldn't find any breakthrough, stammering for a long time before she could only mutter in a low voice:

"Then... Then you can't scold me..."

"First, I didn't scold you this time, I just kindly gave you a suggestion."

"Second, you really don't have the ability to manage a country, and you can't even make a clear judgment on the most basic situation."

Wei Changtian glanced at Xu Sui Sui, not continuing to argue with her, but slowly explaining:

"Now there are no generals of the upper three ranks in the Qian Hui army. Even if they send someone over immediately, it will take at least a few days to arrive."

"In addition, they just experienced such a defeat last night, and the morale of the army is already on the verge of collapse."

"They won't attack the city again?"

"Nonsense, of course they won't attack the city at this time."

"Then what about us? Are we just going to wait like this? Wait until they reorganize their army, and then fight them to the death in Fengyuan City?"

With three consecutive rhetorical questions, Wei Changtian's voice wasn't loud, but everything that needed to be expressed had already been expressed.

Although Xu Sui Sui wasn't smart, she wasn't stupid either, so she finally understood now, tentatively asking:

"So... We're going to take the initiative?"

"Congratulations, you're right."

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "Strike while the iron is hot, now that we have the right timing, geographical advantage, and popular support, of course we have to seize the opportunity."

"I've already ordered the Ning and Shu reinforcements to rush here as quickly as possible, they'll arrive in Fengyuan in at most three days."

"And the Ten Dog Army may be even faster."

"This battle can't wait, the sooner the better, so Fengyuan also needs to be prepared."

"Hurry up and give the order, let the soldiers in the city heal their injuries and prepare for battle as quickly as possible, and as soon as the Ten Dog Army arrives, immediately remove the Heavenly Buddha Formation and go out of the city to kill the enemy."

"Whether or not you can keep this Xin Feng, the victory or defeat depends on this one move."

"..."

The victory or defeat depends on this one move.

The hall was very warm, the afternoon sunlight bright.

Listening to Wei Changtian's words, Xu Sui Sui's mouth hadn't closed the entire time.

She never expected that it had only been half a day since Wei Changtian returned to Fengyuan, and the latter had already done so many things.

And it sounded like Wei Changtian had never even thought about asking for her opinion, deciding everything himself.

"You... You couldn't have told me about it?"

Pinching her fingers, Xu Sui Sui muttered softly with some grievance: "It makes me seem very superfluous..."

"Didn't I tell you?"

Wei Changtian curled his lips: "What? Do you have any brilliant ideas?"

"I..."

Xu Sui Sui only felt that Wei Changtian's analysis made sense, so how could she have any opinions now.

She knew that this matter was of great importance, and she didn't argue for once, whispering after a moment of silence:

"Then I'll go arrange it, you should rest well..."

"Yeah, go ahead."

Waving his hand, Wei Changtian lay back on the bed, just about to take a nap, but suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he casually called out:

"Help me pour a cup of tea!"

"Oh..."

Xu Sui Sui, who had already walked a few steps away, responded, obediently went to the table to pour a cup of tea, and then walked to the bedside and handed it to Wei Changtian.

"Here you go."

"Yeah."

Taking the teacup, Wei Changtian drank it all in one gulp, and then handed the empty cup back.

"Pour another cup."

"Okay..."

Holding the teacup, Xu Sui Sui actually went back to pour tea again, the golden dress embroidered with a dragon appearing especially dignified in the sunlight.

Wei Changtian, waiting by the bed, casually glanced at her back, suddenly stunned, his expression becoming a little strange.

Because he suddenly thought of Ning Yu Ke.

It had to be said, if only looking at her back, Xu Sui Sui did resemble Ning Yu Ke quite a bit.

It wasn't that the two people's figures and appearances had any similarities, it was probably because they were both wearing similar golden dresses, so they both had a similar dignified temperament.

That's right, after all, although Xu Sui Sui was a bit "unworthy of her position," she was indeed the female emperor.

Huh?

Thinking about it like this...

Two female emperors pouring tea and water for me?
