"OK!"
Su Xian's "refreshment" caught the literary officer off guard.
His mouth opened wide, and he taunted Su Xian with "But do you dare?" He couldn't say it immediately, as if it was stuck in his throat.
To be honest, Su Xian's confident look put a certain amount of pressure on him.
Could it be that Su Xian was really sure?
He saw other people in the tent, from Princess Lanling to the subordinate officials and generals, all staring at him, as if waiting for him to express his stance.
For a moment, the literary officer felt like he was riding a tiger that was unable to get off.
wrong!
impossible!
He shook his head repeatedly. Can people confess by locking them in a dark room?
I'm afraid even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this.
With this thought in my mind, the feeling of riding a tiger with a hard time getting off suddenly disappeared.
He looked at Su Xian and smiled:
"Okay, let's take a gamble! If Su's method of offering wine works, I, a literary officer from the sixth rank, will let you sit here!"
"If your method doesn't work, please ask Su Jijiu to personally pick off the black gauze on your head and leave the princess mansion!"
"How's it going? Do you dare to bet on Su Jijiu?"
""
As soon as the Literary Officer finished speaking, everyone in the tent looked at Su Xian, including Princess Lanling. She straightened her posture, a look of curiosity flashed through her beautiful and majestic phoenix eyes.
Not only Princess Lanling is curious.
Wang Sima, the chief secretary, Zhou Ji's office, and the counselors who participated in the military affairs were also very curious.
Will Su Xian really make a bet with the literary officer?
If he loses, Xibu Jijiu's official position will not be guaranteed.
The reason why everyone is paying special attention to this matter is because of Su Xian's confidence in the "Confinement Method"
Su Xian faced everyone's gaze and smiled calmly:
"This is a fair bet! No problem, I'm willing to take the bet."
""
After hearing this, Princess Lanling's expression suddenly changed, and she began to face Su Xian's "confinement method" squarely.
Wang Sima and other officials also looked serious. Since Su Xian dared to bet, it meant that he was very confident in this method. Anyway, if this method is really useful, it would be a good thing for everyone.
When everyone's expressions changed slightly, they heard Su Xian say again:
"But before the bet can be made official, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with."
"If this matter is not dealt with first, our bet will be meaningless."
""
The literary officer immediately sneered and said, "What? Su Jijiu doesn't dare to do it anymore? Just a random excuse? If Su Jijiu doesn't dare to gamble, you can say it clearly."
Princess Lanling, Wang Sima and others frowned when they heard this.
The confidence they had just gained in the "method of confinement" suddenly fell to the bottom again.
Su Xian laughed loudly and said:
"No! No!"
Then, he turned to face Princess Lanling who was sitting high on the handsome chair, bowed and said:
"Your Highness the Princess, I am bold and want to ask Your Highness to guarantee this bet."
"The literary officer is, after all, a senior official. If he doesn't accept his responsibility then,"
""
It turned out that this was what he meant. Princess Lanling's confidence in the "method of confinement" rose again. She paused slightly, nodded slowly and said:
"Well, I will vouch for you!"
"Both of you are persons of status, and you must practice what you preach!"
"If Jijiu wins, he will be promoted to literature, while literature will be demoted to Jijiu. If literature wins, Jijiu will personally take off the black gauze on his head and leave the princess's mansion!"
""
As soon as Princess Lanling finished speaking, all the officials were stunned for a while, and then they all bowed and said: "Princess is wise!"
Through this bet, Princess Lanling and Wang Sima gained a little confidence in the "method of confinement".
This was something Su Xian didn't expect.
With the general approach in place, the next step is implementation.
Su Xian thought to himself that he proposed the method, and the specific implementation would probably fall on his shoulders.
However, just as he was about to take over the matter, the handsome and feminine Nangong Kui said first: "I am willing to take over the specific implementation of the 'Law of Confinement'."
Princess Lanling looked at Su Xian and asked:
"How do you feel about the wine?"
Su Xian slightly hesitated about what he just said about "body hair and skin" and the "confinement method". For Nangong Kui, they were both foundation-destroying things.
Nangong Kui is willing to take over the specific implementation of this method.
When Su Xian hesitated, Wang Sima came out and said with a smile:
"It's just right to hand this matter over to the third catcher! The third catcher has been obsessed with this for more than ten years and has rich experience. It would be best for him to take over."
Then Wang Sima looked at Su Xian and smiled:
"Don't worry about Su Jijiu. With his three-capture character, he won't bother to interfere with this matter. Su Jijiu can rest assured."
Su Xian didn’t know much about Nangong Kui.
But since Wang Sima said this, Su Xian accepted most of the matter. Then he looked at Zhou Ji's office. After seeing Zhou Ji's office slowly nodding, he no longer had any worries.
It's just right, and it saves me trouble. Su Xian looked at Princess Lanling and bowed, "If so, then I'll have to worry about the three arrests."
Princess Lanling nodded and ordered:
"When the discussion is over, the two of you must work together without making any mistakes!"
"Official (lower position), obey your orders!"
""
This matter is over.
Princess Lanling is preparing to end this discussion.
At this time, the military consultant came out and reported:
"Your Majesty, Princess Su's method of sacrificing wine, let's not say whether it is possible or not. Even if it is possible, it will take three to five days to be effective."
"Nowadays, time is precious. I think we can't just wait and wait for death. We should take the initiative!"
""
Princess Lanling calmed down, looked at the consultation and asked, "Oh? What good ideas can the consultation have?"
After asking, she thought about it and felt something was wrong, so she added: "Why didn't you tell me when I asked you personally just now?"
"Princess' atonement, the official just thought of it"
Consultation was startled and almost fell to his knees.
Princess Lanling waved her hand and said, "That's all, I forgive you. If you have any good ideas, it's okay to say so."
The consultant thanked the princess, maintained his bowing posture, and said:
"The official believes that the search for 10,000 Liao troops should be carried out simultaneously from both the large and small directions. Given time, results will be achieved!"
"In a big way, just like the previous suggestion made by the lower official, secretly send troops to conduct a net-like search of suspicious places in Youzhou, Pingzhou, Jizhou, Tanzhou, Yizhou and other counties!"
"On a small scale, we can start from the yamen of each state, especially the governors and county magistrates of each state. If there are 10,000 Liao troops hiding in the local area, the local officials will definitely leak the clues!"
"We will proceed simultaneously, both internally and externally, with a two-pronged approach. I believe that given time, we will be able to find traces of the 10,000 Liao army!"
""
Princess Lanling's mouth curled up and she said:
"The consultation is very good! Then let's do it!"
Su Xian raised his eyebrows sharply, and consulted the military council and said "two-pronged approach", obviously not including his "incarceration method", which should be "three-pronged approach".
Princess Lanling and the officials did not raise any objections to this.
