Abandoned Daughter from a Noble Family: Poison to the World
Chapter 178 Stirring the Fire
Wang Fei was defeated and only 40,000 of the 100,000 troops he brought were left.
The battle report was horribly written, and the main writer racked his brains to find several excuses for Wang Fei to cover up his shame.
At the end of May, this battle report reached Yunchuan. The night before the morning court meeting, Su Wanqing got the same battle report from Qianji Pavilion and Su Bai successively.
It was just for use. Su Wanqing did not regard Su Bai as a relative.
In her eyes, Su Bai was just a blood bag to support herself, an empty bag that she could throw away after absorbing the nutrients.
In the past few days, Su Wanqing was busy opening a girls' school and a system for female officials. She and Prince Rong were in full swing, and the Military Generals Women's Faction also sent people to help.
When Su Bai sent people to the East Palace to invite Su Wanqing to go to the Hou Mansion, Su Wanqing happened to be reading the history books of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Order can be broken. In chaotic times, there are examples of women serving as officials.
"Your Highness, the Marquis wants to discuss something with you. Please come to the Marquis Mansion."
The person who came was a secret guard wearing a mask, and the voice sounded like a woman.
Su Wanqing sounded familiar. She raised her eyes from the page and stared at the person who came. She was all in black and wearing a bamboo hat. She was not too tall and was thinner than people of her age.
"Gu understands," she stood up, walked to the secret guard, reached out to take off the mask, "Show it to Gu."
The secret guard overreacted. The moment Su Wanqing approached, he raised his right forearm to block, while the other hand firmly held the saber at his waist.
"The Hou Mansion does not allow the secret guards to show their faces, and I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me."
The secret guard knelt on the ground, docile and obedient again.
Su Bai doesn't like unruly subordinates. It's best if the people around him are the kind of silly sweethearts played by Su Wanqing before, allowing him to manipulate them.
Su Wanqing's hands were hanging in the air, feeling a little embarrassed. She rubbed her fingertips and turned to help the young man on the ground.
"Forget it, I forgive you."
She remembered Xisu's sister, Qianji Pavilion's Tianzi warehouse, which recorded some of the sources of Su Bai's collection of secret guards, many of whom were orphans picked up from disaster areas.
Xisu was one of them, and her missing sister was probably recruited into the secret guard by Su Bai.
Su Wanqing thought, Xisu lived so carelessly and lived alone. If he really found a sister who was related by blood, Xisu might be willing to stay with her.
How did Su Bai control Xisu? She thought about it for a long time. Money and power were not enough to make Xisu tempted. The threat of relatives might be one reason.
But Xisu didn't believe her. She didn't mean what she said, and she didn't believe in Su Wanqing's ability and determination.
Xisu thought that Su Wanqing would not fall out with Su Bai because of her, just a guard, and Su Bai was suspicious.
These days, the lovesickness Gu has been moving. The breeding period is approaching, and all the Gu insects are restless. Only Xiao Zi, the Gu King, has fallen into a deep sleep, relying on sleep to survive the fatal breeding period.
Su Wanqing pressed her index finger on the red bean worm on her left hand. Through the skin, she could feel the soft and smooth pulse, which trembled and moved against the muscles. She felt no pain.
The Yang Gu was on her body, but she didn't want to use it to control Xisu.
When people are there, the heart must also be there.
She understood what Wu Tuyue told her, but she was rebellious and told her to be stubborn and still want to follow her own path.
She wants power, and so does Xisu.
Shu Yu walked with Su Wanqing. She lifted up half of the tassel curtain on the carriage and let Su Wanqing get up.
She herself rode a tall horse and walked in front of the carriage with a heroic appearance, looking like a heroic guard.
Su Wanqing pressed the red bean bug, trying to squeeze it out, but the monster was hard-skinned and difficult to kill. She couldn't find a place to vent her anger, so she had to hold back her anger.
The Shuntian Hou Mansion is still the same as before, with Su Bai staying at home and Chen Mengyu being the housekeeper. The fourth young master is withdrawn and often gets into trouble and gets beaten and punished by Chen Mengyu.
The carriage entered through the back door of Shuntianhou Mansion.
It seems that Subai is not willing to be too ostentatious.
Su Wanqing looked at the myrtle walls in the backyard. They were all golden and beautiful. There was a smile in the corners of her eyes, but she was laughing at Su Bai's unnecessary actions in her heart.
King Mo married "Su Er's corpse" as his wife, a living person married a dead corpse. As soon as this shocking and strange thing came out, everyone felt that King Mo was shameless in order to please Su Bai.
"Your Highness, please come this way."
The secret guard did not know Su Wanqing's true identity, so she did her duty and led Su Wanqing to Su Bai's study.
Su Bai stood behind the desk and raised his hand to pour tea into the cup. It was sweet and fragrant. It was Su late Qing's favorite peach oolong.
The secret guard went to the place, opened the door for Su Wanqing, and motioned for her to go in alone.
All the surrounding secret guards were instantly withdrawn. Su Wanqing's internal energy surged. She noticed that there were still secret guards standing guard not far away. Their aura was secretive. If she hadn't deliberately listened, she might not have noticed it.
Subai has been a little afraid of death recently.
Or maybe Su Bai has always been afraid of death. Su Wanqing couldn't see it before, but now he can.
Su Bai is a dangerous person.
"Dad, I'm back."
Su Wanqing was more reserved and held the tea in a reserved manner, but looking at the sweet tea, she unconsciously brought it.
Subai also smiled, "Qing'er has been busy recently. Dad sees that you have lost a lot of weight due to fatigue. You are as tan and tan as a soldier in a martial arts field."
Su Wanqing touched her face, "I didn't like to move before, and my whole body was covered in limp fat. Now that my martial arts practice has begun to show results, it will naturally become tighter."
She didn't care whether she was fair or not, whether she was thin or not, the emperor needed power and he also needed to preserve his ability.
Although you are not a martial arts master, at least you are not weak and sickly.
Su Bai laughed heartily, with a cold light in his eyes. For him, Su Er was the continuation of Du Ruo. He was madly in love with Du Ruo, but despite all his efforts, he could not completely conquer her.
Therefore, he placed his unfinished conquest on Du Ruo's daughter, trying to cultivate her into his favorite appearance.
Mild and well-behaved, obedient and submissive.
"Qing'er, do you know about Wang Fei's battle report in Nanxiang? It came at dawn today. Dad just finished reading it. I want to know what you are thinking."
Subai handed the battle report to Su Er.
Looking at Su Wanqing, who was gradually getting stronger, he felt strange and scary, just like the kittens and puppies he kept around him, soft and cuddly, loving to act coquettishly, meowing, and extremely cute.
But, suddenly one day, they turned into grinning hyenas, braving the greedy light, peeking at the aging lions in the night.
Su Wanqing knew the contents of the battle report early in the morning, and she even controlled it in the last few days of the Nanxiang battlefield.
She took the battle report and read it carefully from beginning to end, frowning with an expression of disbelief.
"Wang Fei is a veteran on the battlefield. He followed dad to fight in southern Xinjiang before. He has some experience. Why did he fail in Nanxiang this time?"
Su Wanqing pretended to be surprised.
The acting is quite real.
Su Bai was dubious, originally just wanting to see a temporary reaction.
Su Er was just right. If it was a performance, she would have grown stronger wings.
"Poison is prevalent in Southern Xinjiang, even if you are not aware of it for a while. When dad went to fight in Southern Xinjiang, there was an old man who provided tips and tricks. Otherwise, your father and I would also end up in Southern Xinjiang."
Subai is indeed an old fox, and his performance is superb and outstanding.
Not only was he concerned about his subordinates, but he was also involved in his own sadness, so Su Bai showed weakness.
"Maybe it's because I've never been on the battlefield and don't know how fast things can change on the battlefield. As the old saying goes, if you hunt geese all day long, you'll be blinded by geese pecks. I don't think General Wang Fei wants to do that either."
Su Wanqing rolled up the battle report and reported his feelings to Su Bai.
"General Wang Fei was defeated, but the team sent by Quanzhou to support General Wang Fei was very powerful. They surrounded and suppressed the rear, catching him off guard, and finally lost the city of Nuying."
Su Wanqing deliberately threw Chen Xingyuan out.
The young man ran away from home and wandered to Quanzhou alone. When she was just fifteen years old, she joined the army and started her magnificent life.
"Dad, have you guessed that the young general is the third sister?"
Su Wanqing looked at Su Bai who was silent and deliberately revealed this matter.
Su Bai also favors boys over girls. In a world where men are superior to women, there are no fathers or mothers who love their daughters. With interests involved, all emotions are chaotic and complicated and cannot be pure.
He spent many years of effort to train Chen Xingyuan. He had no male heir, so he raised Chen Xingyuan as a male heir. He watched her being unruly and arrogant.
"She... did live up to my good intentions. Unfortunately, her relationship with her mother was so bad that we no longer see each other. Back then, if I had been at home, I would have stopped her."
Su Bai regretted it too late. At first, he felt that although Chen Xingyuan was wild, he also abided by the rules and would not go too far, so he did not supervise him very strictly and left most of the time to Bai Rugu and Chen Mengyu.
So, there was the scandal of Chen Mengyu piercing her ears.
Su Wanqing knew that Chen Xingyuan had a big quarrel with Su Bai before he left. He just felt that Su Bai was stupid and blamed Chen Xingyuan for Chen Mengyu's reason for running away from home, without reflecting on himself at all.
"The third sister is also very powerful. I read the battle report from Nanxiang. She only brought four thousand soldiers and horses in Quanzhou. She defeated the many with less. She passed through all the way and defeated the traitor Ying Tu."
Su Wanqing deliberately praised, intentionally or unintentionally, arousing Su Bai's inner comparison between Wang Fei and Chen Xingyuan. No matter how close the brothers are, they must settle their accounts clearly, while the daughter is closer to him.
The balance in Su Bai's heart suddenly tilted, and he began to feel annoyed about his previous lack of concern for Chen Xingyuan.
"Nanxiang will eventually have to be entrusted to a new prince. There are three states and sixteen counties. This area is too big, and people without some means cannot stand in that position."
After Su Bai said this, he looked at Su Wanqing.
"Qing'er, you are the crown prince. In the future, when you inherit the throne, my father will probably be too old to walk. Your third sister is a martial arts prodigy. If you support her, she will remember your kindness in the future. Sister We always help each other. Dad doesn’t ask too much about the rest of the things, you can figure it out yourself."
He finally said some human words. Sisters are always demonized in the story books, and they often make trouble over some stinky man.
Su Wanqing could tell that Su Bai meant what he meant and didn't criticize her.
"Dad is only in his forties and is not old. Even if he doesn't tell me, I will still help my third sister. Didn't I choose the title of Xuanwu from the Hanlin Academy students before?"
Su Wanqing knew how to act and lie easily.
In his previous life, General Xuanwu was the only general who could surpass Prince Zhao in the more than 300 years since the founding of the Yun Kingdom. He suppressed the male generals of his generation to the point where they could not lift their heads.
As long as they hear the word Xuanwu, all men will tremble with fear.
In his previous life, Chen Xingyuan worked as a dog for Yang Guanyin and killed countless people. He regarded human life as nothing. Although there was a barrier, Su Wanqing still felt that Chen Xingyuan was a rare talent.
Dugu Cuan also spoke highly of Chen Xingyuan. Among the top young female military generals in Yunchuan, Chen Xingyuan was undoubtedly the number one.
This time, she conquered Nanxiang and defeated the many with less. The people's voice was louder, and the female generals in the court were as happy as the Chinese New Year.
"Okay, Qing'er, just know that the most important thing between sisters is mutual love. Don't hurt your feelings over trivial things. Even if there were conflicts in the past, the page has been turned. If you can't get good things from the past, then put your sights ahead. Now and later.”
Suber warned.
He prefers Chen Xingyuan. She is the heiress he has high hopes for. If there were no Su Si, Chen Xingyuan would be Su Bai's heir.
From the title to the family property, Su Bai was tempted to give it to her.
Su Bai thought long term. When he was preparing to find a child adopter for Chen Xingyuan, Chen Mengyu gave birth to Su Si, and he calmed down and gave up the idea of making Chen Xingyuan his heir.
He still felt that female heirs were not as good as male heirs. Although Chen Xingyuan was very powerful, Su Bai felt that Su Si would be even more powerful when he grew up.
Men are always so blindly confident.
