Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 453 surrender
After leaving the imperial study room, Emperor Jing returned to the Longgan Palace all the way, and did not feel relieved until he saw Su Qingyan sitting on the soft bed.

"Your Majesty, why are you the only one who came back?" Su Qingyan was a little surprised when she didn't see Kang Ninghai. She got up from the bed and came to Emperor Jing's side.

"Where did you go with Zhuang Ronghua?" Taking a deep breath, Emperor Jing showed a smile on his face. He looked at Su Qingyan and asked her.

"When I go back to the emperor, my concubine went to the lotus pond with Zhuang Ronghua, there are already lotus flowers blooming, Zhuang Ronghua has worked so hard, he came here early in the morning to accompany my concubine, after seeing the lotus, I have to go back to the Mingyue Pavilion with hard work."

Responding to Emperor Jing's words, Su Qingyan took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the sweat from Emperor Jing's forehead.

"Where did the emperor come back from? Why are you sweating so much? Sit down and rest for a while?" Looking at Emperor Jing's appearance, she knew that he was rushing back, and she instinctively told Su Qingyan that something happened. But the emperor didn't tell her.

However, she doesn't intend to get to the bottom of it. In the harem, what is needed is rare confusion.

"I still have something to do in the imperial study, so you don't have to wait for me at noon, just have lunch first, and when you wait for dinner, I will accompany you to eat."

There were still matters to be dealt with in the imperial study room, so Emperor Jing would naturally not stay. Su Qingyan nodded, allowing Emperor Jing to place a kiss on her forehead before watching him leave.

In the imperial study room, Sixteen, Thirteen and others waited for Emperor Jing to return. Sure enough, as Kang Ninghai said, after a short while, Emperor Jing returned to the imperial study.

"Kang Ninghai, follow Shiliu to Mingyue Pavilion and search for the things. By the way, bring Zhuang Ronghua to the Imperial Study Room." Entering the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Jing looked at Kang Ninghai and ordered.

"Yes." In response, Kang Ninghai looked at Shiliu, and the two left the Imperial Study Room together, heading towards Mingyue Pavilion.

"Xia Shi, go to Longgan Palace and ask Concubine Chen for a safe pulse." After Kang Ninghai left, Emperor Jing looked at Xia Shi and ordered.

In response, Xia Shi also retreated.

There was only Thirteen left in the room, and he stood respectfully in the hall, waiting for Emperor Jing's orders at any time.

"General, it seems that Qingguo has really retreated." After a day, there was no movement in Qingguo, Yan Xu walked in from outside the house and reported to Shen Hao.

"Well, it seems that the troops have really retreated. If I guessed correctly, the soldiers and horses of Chu State have arrived at the Southwest Border Pass, but I don't know if there is a general there."

Although the deputy general's ability is not bad, but after all, he is a deputy general and cannot compare with the main general. Shen Hao is very worried that Chu's army will break through the southwest border.

After all, to a certain extent, the southwest frontier is not as good as the defense and terrain of the northwest frontier.

"Don't worry, general. The emperor must have received your letter and sent someone to the southwest border. Perhaps the situation there is not as severe as you imagined."

After hearing Shen Hao's words, Yan Xu comforted him, Shen Hao nodded, but he was still a little worried.

…………

"General Qi, Prince Ali of the Southwest Tribe seeks to see you." The Southwest is now divided into two tribes. Prince Ali is the heir of one of the tribes. Su Qinghan is sitting in the room, analyzing how to win the battle. He heard Xue Gang's voice.

"Prince Ali, please come in." After putting away the map, Su Qinghan sat on a chair and looked towards the door. The door was opened, and Prince Ali followed Xue Gang into the room.

"General Su." Upon entering the room, Prince Ali saluted Su Qinghan with a smile on his face, just like what Su Qinghan had seen before.

In Su Qinghan's impression, this Prince Ali liked to laugh very much. Every time he saw him, he always had a smile on his face. It seemed that he had no other expression except for laughing.

"Prince Ali." Said lightly, Su Qinghan greeted Prince Ali, his attitude was always cold, so Prince Ali didn't care.

"It is said that you can go to the Three Treasures Palace if you have nothing to do. To tell you the truth, General Su, Ali came today because he has something to discuss with General Su." Straight to the point, Prince Ali explained his purpose of coming.

"Oh? I don't know what Prince Ali wants to talk about." Ordering someone to prepare refreshments, Su Qinghan looked at Xue Gang and signaled him to step back temporarily. Looking at Prince Ali's appearance, he just wanted to talk to him alone of.

Prince Ali was very satisfied with Su Qinghan's behavior. After Xue Gang withdrew, Prince Ali expressed his thoughts.

"General Su must know that the Southwest is now divided into two tribes. The reason for this is thanks to General Su. Logically speaking, there are only two tribes left, and they should live in peace. But between our tribes, there is Not safe."

"In fact, there are rules among our tribes. The weaker side must submit to the stronger side. Not only that, but also pay tribute to various things every year."

"On the surface, the strength of our two tribes is equal, but in fact, my tribe is weaker than the other. They have more strong men than us."

"I know that when the state of Chu came to invade, the generals are currently short of manpower. We are willing to rely on General Su, just to not be bullied and to keep what we deserve. Even if our strength surpasses them in the future, we will not will ask them to surrender."

He said all his thoughts, and in order to ensure that Su Qinghan would help them, Prince Ali specially told the news he had just received, "I heard that the leader of that tribe met with the general of Chu State , seems to have the intention of seeking refuge."

"Their ambitions have always been great. I believe that they will soon plan to annex us, and then follow Chu to enter the border city southwest of the palace."

"How did Prince Ali know?" After listening to Prince Ali, Su Qinghan didn't answer immediately. He looked at Prince Ali and asked him.

"To tell you the truth, there are people from us in the tribe over there, because I have seen their intentions long ago, so I took precautions early on. In our tribe, there are actually people from them, but they were I killed them all."

What he can think of, the other party may not be able to think of. In order to prevent the news from his side from being spread to the other side, Prince Ali spent a lot of effort to find out those spies.

"That being said, how do you know that the people over there are loyal to you?" People's hearts are the most difficult thing to guess in this world. Perhaps before, they were dedicated to their own tribe, but no one could Guaranteed, things like this will always be like this.

After all, in the face of interests, anyone can change.
