Chapter 371 Speculation (2)

Cen Wan's eyes were sharp, her brows furrowed with confident assurance: "Qi Yongji is unaware of Dayong's arrangements in Dongzhou and Xizhou, so his choice will not take into account the personnel guarding these two places. Although Liaozhou has the He family army, the fate of General He is unknown, and He Wuyu is still young. If we can win a victory against the He family army in the first battle, it will surely boost the morale of the entire He Kingdom."

"So, Lord Cen thinks that Qi Yongji will be the first to start a war in Liaozhou?"

"Wait a minute! I haven't finished speaking yet."

"At this point, Lord Cen, please stop keeping us in suspense."

Before they knew it, the hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes, including the emperor's, were fixed on Cen Wan, who was speaking eloquently.

This person, who was questioned a few years ago about how long he could stand in the imperial court, has unknowingly gained everyone's respect and attention.

Cen Wan, who was in the center of attention, seemed to be able to hear the sound of her blood rushing, and her heart was beating faster and faster uncontrollably.

It wasn't nervousness, it was excitement.

Suppressing her turbulent emotions beneath a calm face, her tone grew even more composed: "The environment in Dongzhou is harsh, posing a test for the soldiers of both countries. Xizhou, with its treacherous terrain, naturally gives Dayong an advantage."

Qin Yue raised an eyebrow: "In that case, Xizhou is still more dangerous."

"It seems that way, but Qi Yongji has always been unpredictable and greedy by nature. I think he will pursue three paths simultaneously."

Some people booed in disappointment.

To their disappointment, Cen Wan's long build-up had led to such a frivolous conclusion.

Liao Hongsheng jokingly came to Cen Wan's rescue: "Greedy? I've always heard people say he gets many benefits from one plan, but this is the first time I've heard it described like that. Brilliant!"

Cen Wan nodded gratefully to him.

Liao Hongsheng didn't care about her gratitude; he was just thinking that it wasn't easy for a young girl like her.

not to mention……

This is the person His Highness wants to promote; the person His Highness wants to promote is the person the Emperor wants to promote.

Liao Hongsheng, of course, had to follow the Emperor and His Highness's wishes.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased slightly, the Minister of Rites asked what everyone was thinking: "Qi Yongji has no one he can use..."

Cen Wan smiled even more broadly, as if she had heard an amusing joke: "It is only natural for an official to have such thoughts. However, the former emperor of the Brown Kingdom, Qi Yongji's elder brother, also shared the same idea as you all."

"If that's the case, why haven't our spies in the Brown Kingdom sent back a single message?"

“Yes! Qi Yongji is now the emperor, and he needs to demonstrate his imperial power. If he has any real trump cards, why should he hide them?”

Even those who disagreed with Cen Wan couldn't help but shake their heads at these words.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Cen Wan remained calm and composed: "Since we said it's our trump card, we should keep it hidden even more."

"Lord Cen's words are not without reason. In fact, Qi Yongji's purpose may not be limited to this."

Everyone else turned to look at Qin Yue, who was speaking.

As soon as Qin Yue spoke, all the doubts about Cen Wan disappeared.

His words at this moment might seem like he was trying to steal Cen Wan's thunder, but given his status, he didn't need such a battle of wits.

So, he wanted to support Cen Wan?

Qin Yue saw through their thoughts and said frankly, "I think he might also want to take action against those old geezers who are getting in the way in Brown Country."

Although Qi Yongji should be too busy to offend both internal and external forces at the same time, Cen Wan used one word accurately: greed.

A person who is calculating in everything will inevitably become increasingly ambitious.
