Chapter 1458: Chen Sheng's methods, poison strategist against poison strategist!

Yan Wushuang closed his eyes, his pupils full of horror.

His mind was filled with Gao Yang's face.

Now, he thoroughly understood one truth: when dealing with the Living Yama, never believe that pies will fall from the sky, otherwise you will suffer a huge loss!

The Zhao Emperor had initially looked down on the Da Qian Empress, and had not even sent an envoy to congratulate her on her ascension.

But then what?

The Living Yama and the Da Qian Empress released news encouraging the people of Da Qian to all wear Zhao Gao, and the Zhao Emperor had scurried to send people over.

But what was the result?

The Zhao Kingdom was now filled with starving people, and the insurgent army was like a steel flood, unstoppable.

Division had become an inevitable situation.

And the one with the greatest momentum in this rebellion was actually the Ruthless Sect!

He, Yan Wushuang, had been in Changancheng at the time and had witnessed with his own eyes the Living Yama being abducted by the Ruthless Sect.

But the assassin of the past had now become the sharpest blade in the Living Yama's hand!

Back then, he drank with the Living Yama. They were clearly in two different camps, yet the Living Yama wanted to give him the method of selling offices and the Green Seedling Law for free.

If Chen Sheng hadn't seen through the malice within, the Yan Kingdom would have buried a hundred-year curse!

The Living Yama was too treacherous.

But now, the matter had already happened, and thinking about these things was useless. Currently, containing Da Qian and weakening Da Qian was the most important thing.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"The people of the Zhao Kingdom are living in misery. With this scheme, I fear Da Qian will make a fortune!"

"If this continues, Da Qian might become the hegemon of the Seven Kingdoms!"

Yan Wushuang was very worried, his gaze turning to Chen Sheng at his side.

Now, Chen Sheng had become his backbone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng slowly raised his head, then took a deep breath and said, "Hegemon of the Seven Kingdoms? How could it be that simple!"

"As long as there are the Xiongnu to keep Da Qian in check, Da Qian cannot become the hegemon. Supporting the Xiongnu to control Da Qian is the only way!"

"Furthermore, we must make the two fight to the death, leaving no room for maneuver!"

Yan Wushuang frowned, "Gao Yang raided the Xiongnu's nest and even captured the Xiongnu Chanyu's grandfather alive. Is that not enough?"

Chen Sheng's eyes were deep as he said, "It is enough, but also not enough."

"Since there is no room for maneuver between the two sides, then simply leave no way back!"

Speaking of this, Chen Sheng raised his eyes, looked at Yan Wushuang, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to send our Great Yan's supplies with the fastest speed."

"But the Xiongnu must send troops; they cannot continue to hide their strength."

Yan Wushuang understood the implication.

He furrowed his brows tightly, stared at Chen Sheng, and said, "Sir already has a border commandery in mind for the Xiongnu to launch an attack?"

Chen Sheng said word by word, "Yuyang!"

"Why?"

"As far as I know, Yuyang's location is not very easy to invade."

Yan Wushuang furrowed his brows and said slowly.

Chen Sheng looked directly at Yan Wushuang and said, "Because the Governor of Yuyang is named Gao Linyuan. He is the second son of Gao Tianlong, Gao Yang's... second uncle!"

Once these words were spoken.

Yan Wushuang trembled all over, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely serious.

He stared at Chen Sheng's calm, even extremely dark face, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart.

He did not expect that Chen Sheng... was actually this ruthless!

But for the Yan Kingdom, this was not a bad result.

"Everything shall be as you say, Sir!"

Yan Wushuang made his decision. He stood up and shouted outside.

"Someone come!"

Soon, Yan Wushuang issued an order, and a convoy loaded with weapons and grain also quickly headed toward the grasslands.

Yan Wushuang stared in the direction of Da Qian's Changancheng. He said softly, "You can set a trap for the Zhao Kingdom, and you can make Da Qian's weapons lead the Six Kingdoms, but how will you break this Xiongnu trap?"

"When the news reaches Changancheng, I am curious: what kind of expression will be on your face?"

"..."

On the other side.

Great Chu.

Inside the imperial palace.

In an extremely luxurious palace, Chu Qingluan lay on the bed, looking weak, her beautiful face having turned extremely pale.

She was wearing a white long robe, which made her look even more fragile. Beside her, a baby lay quietly.

The baby's cheeks were pink and tender, and her eyes were dark and bright, extremely brilliant. Although she was very small, she lay quietly beside Chu Qingluan, quietly sucking on her little hand.

Beside them, Chu Ningyu said with surprise, "Imperial Sister, it is a girl."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingluan suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately... fortunately it is a girl."

She reached out her hand, touching the baby girl's little face with extremely gentle movements, her face full of tenderness.

Just looking at the baby girl's little face, a figure inexplicably appeared in her mind.

This also made her expression extremely complex.

In those eyes, there was great hatred, and also other emotions.

But thinking of the current situation, Chu Qingluan suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart and said to Chu Ningyu.

"Imperial Sister, tonight at the hour of the Rat, please provide cover. I have arranged for some old subordinates to come and meet us. I want to send Junjun out of the imperial city, out of this place of fire and water!"

"I want to send Junjun into Da Qian and hand her over to that heartless man. Junjun must never stay here!"

Chu Qingluan looked at Chu Ningyu, saying with pleading.

Chu Ningyu took a deep breath and said, "You and I, sisters, have grown up together since childhood. I will do my best to provide cover for you."

"Whether it succeeds or not depends on the child's fortune."

"Thank you, Imperial Sister!"

"Qingluan, you have just given birth, rest quickly. Currently, nourishing your body is the top priority."

"I will go down and prepare first."

After Chu Ningyu finished speaking, she hurried away.

Chu Qingluan stroked the baby girl's face and said in a voice only she could hear.

"Gao Yang, it doesn't matter if you fail me, but if you fail her, I, Chu Qingluan, will turn into a vengeful ghost and slaughter all of Da Qian!"

Night fell.

The sky was pitch black.

A palace maid entered the imperial palace and carried the baby girl away.

Tonight, heavy rain fell in Great Chu, hitting the green tiles with a pitter-patter, but Chu Qingluan had no other choice.

She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping everything would go smoothly.

But often, the more one fears something, the more likely it is to happen. ===== CHAPTER 1460 =====
