Gou Hongxuan, on the other hand, seemed much duller. He clearly knew the emperor's intentions, but he had no intention of being wary. Many people in the army had said bad things about Zhu Qiwen, saying that he had no courage, no ambition, and that the borders were already closed. Although they have been restricted in this way, they still have no idea of going out to the army and are just hiding inside the border.
Su Xuan understood that this rough-looking general was not without thoughts or his own vision, but his loyalty and his yearning for a prosperous world were enough for him to do anything, so he didn't wait until Zhu Qiwen opened his mouth to make a decision Upon request, Gou Hongxuan volunteered.
"Your Majesty, the general is willing to accept the order and go!"
Zhu Qiwen did not refuse, but nodded directly. She did not have much affection for the general under her father. She had lived in seclusion outside the palace since she was a child, and was only introduced to the palace after her father died. Zhu Qiwen had no idea about everything in the court. People all have a colored look, feeling that their father's death is related to everyone here, and their childhood without a father is also a gift from these people!
"Then there's General Lao!"
Su Xuan followed immediately, cupped his hands towards Zhu Qiwen, and said with his head buried in his chest: "Your Majesty, please leave another place in the hands of the humble minister!"
Zhu Qiwen looked at Su Xuan with great interest, but he did not realize that Su Xuan still had such courage after being tortured by King Xun Zhu Houyi, and even asked King Xun to dismount, not to mention that he would be treated favorably by King Xun in the court. His ministers suppressed him, and there were probably many dead soldiers supported by King Xun outside.
If King Xun is really caught in Su Xuan's hands, the danger Su Xuan will face in the future will be even more difficult than now.
"Oh? Aiqing is so brave?"
Su Xuan lowered his head and responded: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen wanted to share your worries. This can be regarded as making up for his fault. After all, when Wei Chen was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he fell into the hands of King Xun once. How could he not do it this time? We need to get some momentum back!"
Zhu Qiwen put his hands behind his back, with a slightly appreciative look in his eyes. He also did not refuse, but asked: "Since Aiqing is so persistent, then I will give Aiqing a chance! How many manpower Aiqing needs, just tell me yes!"
When he finally got the question he wanted, Su Xuan raised his head and stretched out three fingers towards the empress Zhu Qiwen.
"Is thirty people enough? Is Aiqing a little overconfident? King Xun must be surrounded by several expert guards. Ordinary soldiers are not enough to resist!"
Su Xuan shook his head. There was no expression on his angular face, and he just said slowly: "No, Your Majesty, plus me, only three ministers are enough!"
Zhu Qiwen was stunned for a moment, and Lin Zhangwen, who had been standing silently next to him, snorted and said with a sneer: "Three people are enough? What are you bragging about? Do you think you are going to catch mice somewhere else? Or do you want to take the entire palace? Are all the experts coming here?”
Su Xuan turned his face sideways, his eyes firm, and stared at Lin Zhangwen. The latter looked back, and there was some sweat on his back for no reason. Since he inherited the inheritance from the ancient emperor, Su Xuan has become more sweaty all over his body. An indescribable momentum, confident, solemn, and majestic at the same time.
Even those black eyes had a little bit of crimson light illuminated by the night pearl.
Lin Zhangwen subconsciously avoided Su Xuan's eyes. The latter's face was still neither sad nor happy, and there was no visible change. Then he turned to look at Zhu Qiwen.
"Your Majesty, I only need two people."
Zhu Qiwen had some inexplicable expectations for Su Xuan, and even slightly washed away her dislike for him in her heart. She wanted to see what earth-shattering things this man could do with the three of them.
"Aiqing, you have to think carefully. There are three of us. Although the king's words are not very appropriate, he is right. It is difficult for three of us to catch a mouse in the palace. Are you sure you want three to arrest and inquire?" king?"
Su Xuan nodded affirmatively, and Zhu Qiwen also felt a sense of contempt, and pressed his arm with the sleeve of the dragon robe on the table.
"What I usually dislike the most is people who stick a green onion in their nose and think they are elephants. There is no benefit in making a fool of themselves and pretending to be fat. My dear, your behavior this time is just like that in my opinion. But I have It’s a very strange feeling, you seem to be able to surprise me!”
Su Xuan stood firmly opposite Zhu Qiwen, his shoulders lowered, his eyes never dodge, and there was no smile on his face, because those who want to win know that they will not lose!
The entire Weiyang Palace was silent for a long time, even Lin Zhangwen remained silent.
"In this case, tell me, Aiqing, which three people you want, no matter what masters they are, as long as Aiqing can name them, I can get them for you!"
Zhu Qiwen even glanced at Gu Ming, who was standing next to him with his eyes slightly closed. In Zhu Qiwen's heart, the two people Su Xuan wanted must be top masters. Otherwise, he would not have the courage to challenge King Xun's decades of experience. The bottom line is that it is impossible for a prince not to have one or two masters around him who can take action, not to mention the second level, let alone the first level Vajra realm designation.
"Your Majesty, the other two people that Wei Chen wants are Qi Mingxuan from Jin Yiwei!"
Zhu Qiwen recalled this person's name in his mind, but after a while, he remembered it.
But Zhu Qiwen had just opened his lips a little, and Lin Zhangwen was not happy when he heard Jin Yiwei's name. He also tried every means to prevent Su Xuan from getting involved. He didn't have the guts to make such a bold move and interrogate the king. For someone like Lin Zhangwen, who is cautious and will not throw out his cards until the last moment, this is impossible.
Although he didn't believe that Su Xuan could catch King Xun, he just didn't want the other party to have any chance, and he didn't want to see Zhu Qiwen so inclined to Su Xuan.
After all, the person who is standing in the same position as himself was just half a month ago. He was still a young doctor from the sixth grade, a chess piece under his hands. Now he has turned around and become the same level as himself. After becoming an official, the strong gap in his heart made Lin Zhangwen very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Zhu Qiwen looked at the fat pig next to him with disgust, which could be slaughtered during the Spring Festival. Since the pig was still his 'father-in-law', he resisted the urge to scold him. He suppressed his anger and said kindly: "Zhang Guozhang, since you have participated in the preparation of the plan, why don't you stop trying to dissuade Aiqing?"
How could Lin Zhangwen not understand the emperor's teasing at this time?
