Seeing Chu Yanwu's troubled expression, Xiao Chen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, you should leave this matter to Jiu Qiansui."
His sudden words were in complete contrast to his confident attitude just now, making everyone else dumbfounded.
Everything is fine, why do you suddenly need to replace someone?
Chen Jin was also a little surprised. He was an eunuch at such an age, how could he lead troops to fight and put down the rebellion?
This guy is indeed a trap!
He and Chu Yanwu looked at each other, and Chu Yanwu also showed a slight displeasure on his face.
"You just made a vow just now, but then you turned around and shifted the responsibility to others. Do you have a reasonable explanation for your words and actions?"
Xiao Chen sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a clear warning. I have no other intention, but I dare not compete for glory at nine thousand years old."
"Although I have always been diligent and dedicated to serving you, in the eyes of others, I may just be competing for favor."
He looked at Chen Jin without hesitation, saying nothing!
"After all, I am a man of little words. Apart from laughing at you with His Majesty, I cannot afford to offend anyone else, even a eunuch."
"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man, so I am willing to think about it for a long time. It is better not to go into this muddy water."
His generous voice should be heard in everyone's ears, but his firm eyes never left Chen Jin, and his attitude was self-evident.
Anyone who is watching clearly knows that Xiao Chen's words are secretly motivating Chen Jin, and he will do whatever it takes to win favor.
In fact, even those who want to make His Majesty smile will be afraid of doing their best because of this.
Chen Jin's face froze and she met Xiao Chen's eyes, but Chen Cheng's eyes were filled with fierceness.
On the surface, this guy was trying to impress him, but in fact, he was actually driving him into a dead end.
Chu Yanwu waited for him, as if complaining.
Then he turned to Xiao Chen and smiled: "Hahaha, what did you think it was?"
"As long as it is beneficial to me and the country has merit, then it is a talent and a talent. It is natural to be favored by others. How can I argue about merit?"
"Xiao Chen, feel free to do this, no one dares to embarrass you!"
Chu Yanwu gave him a sure vote in front of all the civil and military officials.
Xiao Chen quickly said generously: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Chu Yanwu smiled calmly, his face full of pride.
"There is no need to delay things at the Jiang Pass. You should treat others immediately. When you leave, you must eradicate those who are causing trouble as soon as possible, so that there will be peace along the coast!"
Xiao Chen cupped his hands and followed the order.
Jiangdonggao is still some distance away from Dachu, almost separated by the border.
Before leaving, Xiao Chen made a special trip to the queen's place.
It was the queen's lunch break. If she hadn't learned that Xiao Chen was going out to quell the rebellion, the queen would not have seen him easily.
The woman had just woken up, there was still a bit of tiredness between her brows, and her eyes, which had been blurred for half a lifetime, were full of temptation.
She gently supported half of her head, her bright red lips curled up with a faint fragrance, and she looked at Xiao Chen with ridicule in her eyes.
"I'm afraid it's not a good thing to think about me before putting down the rebellion, right?"
Xiao Chen walked up with a smile, and the palace maid and eunuch next to him also lost his retreat.
Xiao Chen poured a cup of tea and put his hands in front of her: "Why do you have to say that?"
"My slave is yours, so how can I inflict hardship on you?"
"Since you know that your slave is going to lead an army and are not here, some people and some facts are worrying you."
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "I don't know some things, but some of the people you mentioned are probably Concubine Shu, right?"
Since she formed an alliance with Xiao Chen, how could she not understand him at all?
One sentence completely left Xiao Chen speechless.
He scratched his head in embarrassment, and then complimented her a few more times: "Your Majesty is really smart as ice and snow."
"My servant and Concubine Shu have some friendship. Your Majesty has always been afraid of her because of her rescue efforts. Concubine Shu is also a stubborn person, so she may not be as careful as your empress in doing things."
"I just hope that before leaving, the empress can take care of her and ensure his safety."
Xiao Chen's voice was sincere, but the queen did not agree.
She suddenly crossed her legs and her eyes were full of sarcasm: "Why do you think I will agree to you?"
"Only because this slave has the ability to secure the queen's position in the harem, monopolize the emperor's favor, and become one of the rights behind you!"
Xiao Chen's voice was high-pitched, and his attitude was unquestionable.
The Queen and he do have a common characteristic, that is, they both want to stabilize their status in life.
For the two of them to be able to come together, they are like-minded and have the same goal.
After hearing these words, the queen's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and her face showed a little bit of relief.
But the conversation changed, and there was a hint of sneer on the corner of his mouth: "You are originally from this palace, so if this palace doesn't help you, what else can you do?"
If he had known that this woman was not a fuel-efficient lamp, Xiao Chen obediently presented him with a copper token.
"This is the token of Dongchang's transfer, and now it is dedicated to the empress."
"This token has the ability to directly mobilize the Dongchang Jinyiwei. They were all trained by the slaves themselves. The token is more effective than the emperor's words!"
This is really unbelievable.
The queen gently pinched the jade medal with her hands and looked at it repeatedly, and then she felt happy.
"Is this the sincerity of asking for help?"
I saw him suddenly straighten up his lazy figure, spinning around Xiao Chen gracefully and bonelessly, and a dagger passed over his chest.
A light voice brushed past my ears, with a bit of drunkenness from the common people: "In fact, Governor Xiao doesn't have to be like this. You and I are fellow travelers, and we should help each other."
"Taking these things is really a bit awkward."
Who doesn’t know how to say polite words? What you really want is to give the sign back to me!
Xiao Chen felt a little sulky in his heart, but on the surface he could only respond with a smile, "My queen, there is no need to be polite, everything this slave owns belongs to you."
There is no flaw in what he says, and it makes people unable to deal with it.
The Queen suppressed her smile and fell down on the chair in an instant, returning to her playful posture before.
"Okay, this matter has impressed me, you can go."
"By the way, you must pay attention to safety when you are out on an expedition. If something happens to you, I will feel sorry for you."
She didn't forget to wink.
Xiao Chen calmly smiled and left quickly.
There is only one day left to prepare for the expedition.
He wandered around in a hurry, everywhere in the palace.
Passed by the wind, passed by the garden, passed by the rockery, and went to Concubine Shu's place again.
"I don't know when I can come back from this trip. Are you willing to wait for me?"
In the small courtyard of the harem covered with wisterias, Concubine Shu gently nestled in his arms. Listening to Xiao Chen's words of farewell and reluctance, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.
Although he has never responded directly to Xiao Chen's feelings, the seeds of love have already been planted in his heart.
If he wants to leave, how can he be willing to leave?
