Chapter 154 No!No!
"Okay!"

Su Xian's "refreshing" caught the literary officer by surprise.

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... Su Xian is really sure?

He also saw other people in the big tent, from Princess Lanling to the officials and generals, all staring at him, as if they were waiting for him to make a statement.

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 again and again, could someone confess by locking him in a small 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:

"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."

"After all, the literary officer is one level higher. If he doesn't accept his responsibility then..."

"..."

This is 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 the wine sacrifice wins, he will be promoted to literature, and literature will be demoted to the wine sacrifice. If literature wins, the wine sacrifice will take off the black yarn on his head and leave the princess 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, Nangong Kui, who had a handsome and feminine face, 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 hesitated a little... What he just said about "body hair and skin" and the "confinement method" were both foundation-destroying things for Nangong Kui.

Nangong Kui is willing to take over the specific implementation of this method, but I'm afraid...

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 again and said with a smile:

"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, it saves me trouble... Su Xian looked at Princess Lanling and bowed: "In that case, then I'll have to trouble the third arrester."

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 is over.

Princess Lanling is preparing to end this discussion.

Consulting and participating in the military came out at this time and said:
"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 atones... I 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 [-] 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, we secretly send troops to conduct a wide-net search of suspicious places in Youzhou, Pingzhou, Jizhou, Tanzhou, Yizhou and other prefectures and 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 [-] 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 [-] 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", which obviously did not include his "incarceration method". It should be "three-pronged approach".

Princess Lanling and the officials did not raise any objections to this...
