Li Chen would have been dismembered a thousand times over.But at this time, she had to say in as calm a tone as possible: "This palace is fine.""Mother, did the teacup just break Are you hurt"The Nint...Chapter 1257: His Royal Highness Has Ambition

The more Su Pingbei said so, the more Wu Qingcang could feel that this secret order was extraordinary.

He stared at Su Pingbei and said, "General Su, please speak. My brothers are listening."

Su Ping pondered for a moment before saying, "His Highness has instructed Wu Shuai to use every means possible to delay the Liao army until the end of October."

Wu Qingcang frowned slightly. It was only early September, and there were still more than half a month left until the end of the month.

The task is arduous, but not insurmountable.

Wu Qingcang said solemnly: “As long as there is one living person left in Yueyaguan, they will definitely not allow a single Liao army soldier to cross the border and invade our land.”

"Very well," Wu Ban Shan also boomed, "General Su, please rest assured. The sons of Yueya Pass have nothing else but courage and a heart full of loyalty to the country."

Su Ping smiled and nodded to Wu Ban Shan, indicating his approval of his words.

Ke Su's face held a smile, but her heart was heavy.

He went on to say, “His Highness also said that as soon as it passes the end of October, the Liao army may be allowed in.”

This sentence is very plain and lacks any flowery language. It's just the most ordinary, everyday speech.

Yet this plain statement struck them like a bolt from the blue, leaving Wu Qingsang and Wu Banshan, the two brothers, speechless.

"Let them in! Let the Liao army in!"

Wu Ban Shan gasped in astonishment.

If Wu Banshan hadn't known it was impossible, he would have almost thought His Highness had gone mad, or that Su Pingbei in front of him was actually a spy for the Liao army.

Otherwise, how could one possibly say something so ludicrous

Wu Qingcang clenched his fists and looked at Su Pingbei, saying: "Why"

Su Pingbei furrowed his brows and shook his head, saying, "I don't know."

"I don't know!"

Wu Ban Shan, furious and laughing, said: "Yueya Pass has stood for decades, its only mission to hold back the Liao army. But now you tell me to let the Liao army in Are you trying to get us killed, or are you letting the spirits of our ancestors buried beneath the yellow earth of Yueya Pass be restless!"

This is a very serious matter.

Su Pingbei's face was a bit bitter, he smiled wryly and said: "Such a major matter, how dare I joke about it This is indeed the Lord's order."

Wu Ban Shan suddenly flared up in anger and said coldly, "We can't do it!"

"We do it!"

Almost immediately following Wu Bianshan's refusal, Wu Qingcang readily agreed.

Wu Ban Shan looked at Wu Qing Cang with disbelief, stammering, "Big brother, are you crazy!"

Wu Qingcang ignored Wu Banshan and simply stared intently at Su Pingbei, saying in a deep voice: "Before coming to Yueya Pass, I was just sweeping through the underground people of Taimiao. The mundane world had long been irrelevant to me."

"At the Taimiao, I came into contact with Your Highness. I could feel that within Your Highness's body lies the ambition of a great lord."

"Your Highness's strategy is beyond my comprehension."

All I can do is pledge my loyalty to the end.

Saying this, he bowed to Su Pingbei and said, "Please send the news back to the capital, General Su. Wu Qingcang, I will obey His Highness's orders."

Even Wu Banshan had nothing to say when he heard this and saw this.

He couldn't quite figure it out, what kind of magic did that prince possess to turn his older brother, whom he had always idolized, into such a devoted fanboy

Su Ping looked at Wu Qingcang, speechless for a long time. Finally, he returned the salute with his own fist and said, "General Wu is truly righteous. Pingbei admires you."

"Wu Shuai's words just now, Pingbei will surely convey them word for word back to the capital. I presume Your Highness will feel deeply pleased upon hearing them." vassal kings King Ning already has troops at his command and has always been defiant towards the court. If we force him into a corner, the responsibility will fall on you, General Hu. Can you bear i...
