I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 927 Dream: To be a young villain.

Seven days later, in the Imperial Palace's Council Hall.

After reading the latest battle report, Lu Chongyun bowed and said,

"Your Highness, although we have won a great victory this time."

"But we have to be on guard against the Wu Clan's methods. A mere 30,000 people annihilated an army of 120,000, leaving no one alive."

"Now there are corpses everywhere outside of South City. Such cruelty may harm the harmony of nature!"

"Lu Chongyun!" After saying this, Zhao Chuyi slammed the table and said angrily,

"I think you have lived in peace too much."

"If the King of Zhennan had not arranged for the Wu Clan warriors to come and defend the city, do you think you would still be able to stand here and speak nonsense?"

"I am terrified! Everything I do is for the sake of Daxing's stability."

Lu Chongyun lifted his skirt and bowed deeply.

"Since ancient times, the Wu Clan has never left the Southern Region. This is an iron rule."

"Now that the Wu Clan has contact with the outside world, we must first be prepared to restrict them, otherwise..."

"Enough!" Zhao Chuyi became angrier and angrier as she listened. She raised her hand and smashed the Duan Inkstone in front of her at Lu Chongyun's feet.

"Your Highness! You must always be on guard against people you don't know. Even if they are your parents, wife, and children, you should not trust them!" Lu Chongyun wanted to say more.

At this time, Mu Zhen tapped the armrest of the wheelchair and said in a light tone,

"I understand how Brother Lu feels. We can discuss this matter later."

"Brother Mu!" Lu Chongyun refused to give up and rarely sang a different tune from Mu Zhen.

No wonder he is so extreme.

Anyone who knew that the son he had carefully raised had deceived him for so many years and had now become a traitor would think that he was emotionally stable if he didn't go crazy.

"Just listen to what you say, sir. We can discuss this matter later!"

Zhao Chuyi did not give Lu Chongyun a chance to speak again, and immediately made the decision. Then he looked at Mu Zhen and softened his tone.

"Sir, I want to send troops to retake Donglai Pass. I wonder if you have any recommendations for the position of commander."

Originally, when General Sun was away, Zhao Chuyi was asked to consult Lu Chongyun on military and political matters.

But he has been against Zhao Chuyi in recent days, causing Zhao Chuyi to get angry whenever she sees him.

This time, the Guili Dynasty army besieged the city. If Li Mu had not made arrangements in advance, how could they have won so easily?

But Lu Chongyun was not only ungrateful to Li Mu's kindness, he also targeted him everywhere.

Under Li Mu's instruction, Qin Chou instigated Song Chun to lead 20,000 Dawn Army and unite with the garrisons of prefectures and counties along the way, a total of 60,000 people.

The 90,000-strong army outside the northern city was defeated and nearly 70,000 captured.

As a result, Lu Chongyun actually impeached them for transferring the garrison troops to the capital without permission.

Today, someone said that the Wu people were cruel.

If it weren't for Lu Jianjia's sake, Zhao Chuyi would have let the old man go home and farm based on Lu Sangtuo's matter.

"Your Highness, I don't think now is the best time to retake Donglai Pass."

"The rebel army of 200,000 must have retreated to Donglai Pass."

"Besides, Donglai Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so we should take a long-term view."

At this time, Lu Chongyun spoke again.

Zhao Chuyi glanced at her sideways, as if she didn't hear anything, just waiting for Mu Zhen's opinion.

"I think what Prime Minister Lu said makes sense." Mu Zhen stroked his beard and was about to analyze.

However, before he could open his mouth, a charming female voice came from outside the hall.

"Master, don't worry. Master has already solved the problem of Dong Laiguan!"

Then, Shanshan, dressed in brocade, walked into the hall with a trembling step.

"Princess, the whereabouts of the 200,000-man army have been found. They did not evacuate at all. They are in the maple forest outside the East City."

"What!" Hearing this, Lu Chongyun's eyes widened and he immediately clasped his fists and said,

"Your Highness, the enemy must be planning to take advantage of our laxity and launch another surprise attack..."

"Hey, Prime Minister Lu, please listen to me, Shan... please listen to me!"

Shanshan stamped her feet, obviously very angry that her words were interrupted.

"Shanshan didn't explain it clearly. It wasn't 200,000 troops, it was the corpses of 200,000 troops."

"Corpse!" Lu Chongyun was shocked and asked hurriedly.

"Could it be another back-up plan by the King of Zhennan?"

"impossible……"

Then, he shook his head in self-mockery, paced around in a daze, and muttered to himself,

"Maple Forest is only 20 miles away from the capital. How could we have only received news of such a large-scale fight today?"

"What back-up plan? It's Master!"

At this time, Shanshan spoke again.

Zhao Chuyi stood up from the dragon chair in a flash, appeared in front of Shanshan, grabbed her arm and asked,

"Any news about the young master?"

"Where is the master, Shanshan, where is the master!"

"Not yet..." Shanshan pursed her lips and said hurriedly,

"Shanshan went to see those corpses. They were all killed by sword energy. All of them were killed by a single sword."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Without waiting for Shanshan to continue speaking, Lu Chongyun waved his hand and thought that this was simply a fantasy.

Shanshan turned her head and glared at her, her cheeks puffed out and her nose arched, her eyebrows almost raised, obviously she was extremely angry.

"How is it impossible!"

“Shanshan saw it with her own eyes!”

"Master taught Shanshan that move, but Shanshan didn't learn it... Call it, call it, call it Spring Rain, yes, that's the name!"

"If you don't have any knowledge, don't talk nonsense!"

Shanshan's eyes widened, and then she looked proud and said,

"Master has made preparations in advance at both the north and south gates, obviously to personally deal with the enemy in the east!"

"You are a warrior after all. It would be fine if you didn't fight the enemy, but you are still complaining here."

"I'm telling you, the Royal Guards are investigating your Lu family. If Shanshan finds out that your family is harboring traitors, she will be the first one to not let you go!"

Shanshan's words clearly showed that she suspected Lu Chongyun had hidden Lu Sangtuo.

"Shanshan!" Zhao Chuyi came back to her senses and hurriedly comforted Shanshan.

Lu Chongyun was very angry, but he couldn't refute it.

Then he remembered that Shanshan had just mentioned Donglai Pass, and hurriedly said,

"May I ask Commander Zhao, you just said that the matter at Donglai Pass has been resolved. What did you mean by that?"

Hearing the voice of "Commander Zhao", Shanshan closed her eyes comfortably, then raised her proud little head and handed a memorial to Zhao Chuyi, saying,

"Princess, this is what Princess Ling'er asked Shanshan to give to you."

"The eldest son of the Prince of Yan's Mansion has brought 300,000 grassland warriors and has recaptured Donglai Pass. I hereby submit this report."

"Grassland Warrior?" Zhao Chuyi was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to realize which warriors the 'Grassland Warrior' was from.

Seeing this, Shanshan quickly bent down and whispered in Zhao Chuyi's ear,

"It's Ran Nu's elephant child soldier. Sister Huan Ping asked me to say this in front of everyone."

"It seems that Li Wu has become the leader of the Rannu tribe and plans to lead the Rannu people to submit to Daxing... It's all written in the memorial. He should reach the capital in half a month at most."

Ran Nu, surrender?

Zhao Chuyi felt dazed for a moment, and quickly opened the memorial and looked at it carefully. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"This, this was also done by the young master?"

Shanshan thought about it, nodded uncertainly,

"It should be. I heard that Master went to Rannu and broke some curse there."

"The fourth young master only said 'my brother Li Mu' and he was able to recapture all the major tribes."

Although Shanshan said it lightly, Zhao Chuyi knew that things were not that simple.

Obviously, it was no fluke that the fourth young master of Prince Yan's Mansion was accepted as a disciple by Mu Zhen.

Zhao Chuyi held the memorial in her arms and looked towards the palace gate.

In fact, she has always known that the young master hates disputes.

When the three of them were roaming the world together, the young master said that his greatest wish was to be a rich and powerful young man who no one dared to bully but could bully others at will.

But such a "lazy" person, invisibly, worked for Jiuzhou, for the prosperous dynasty, and for her!

He has done so many things that others dare not even think about.

Zhao Chuyi's eyes gradually became moist. At this moment, she no longer cared about maintaining her dignity as a princess in front of others, and whispered softly,

"My Lord, where are you? I miss you so much..."
