Someone hurriedly slipped in just as Jiang Zuo Wang was wondering where to start.

“Jiang Zuo Wang, I have a suggestion. I don't know if you'd be willing to hear it? The hatred for the Xiongnu is unprecedentedly high in the country right now. Instead of continuing to oppose His Majesty, why not find an opportunity to thoroughly slaughter a wave of Xiongnu? Then, find a group of storytellers to spread your achievements.”

“At that time, even if you fail to kill His Majesty in the chaos, you will be able to find a foothold. As long as enough people are willing to support you, these problems will cease to exist.”

Although Jiang Zuo Wang was very tempted by this person's suggestion, he was very clear in his heart that if he really did what they said, then he would probably become a pawn for the Mei family to use against Jiang Chen.

“I really didn't expect the Mei family's reach to be so long. What, do you want to participate in the struggle for the throne?”

Seeing that Jiang Zuo Wang had seen through his identity so quickly, the person's face was instantly covered in cold sweat.

In order to be able to lurk in the Imperial Guards, he had not had even the slightest contact with the Mei family since he joined.

But he never expected that his identity would be recognized by Jiang Zuo Wang at a glance.

“I will not participate in the affairs between the Mei family and His Majesty. If you want to use the contradiction between me and His Majesty, I advise you to save your energy. If you leave now, I can pretend I never saw you.”

After saying that, Jiang Zuo Wang got up and walked out.

Looking at Jiang Zuo Wang's back, the person gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

But when Jiang Zuo Wang noticed the gazes of the people around him, he couldn't help but sigh.

The foundation he had painstakingly prepared was now easily removed by Jiang Chen.

Now, all of his subordinates were Jiang Chen's people.

When he thought about the conditions proposed by the Zhennan Wang, Jiang Zuo Wang felt extremely uncomfortable.

While Jiang Zuo Wang was feeling overwhelmed by these matters, several ministers of the Yang family had already set off towards their own camp.

“This time, we have to find a way to convince them; otherwise, given His Majesty's personality, we won't live long.”

Thinking of the letter, the few of them felt a lot of resentment in their hearts.

If it weren't for this letter, they might have been able to negotiate with Jiang Chen. As long as they could delay until the retreat, things wouldn't be so serious.

But this letter directly nailed them in place.

“It's probably the other families who want to take this opportunity to get rid of our Su family. It's really hateful.”

Recalling what had happened before, they all felt extremely angry in their hearts.

Just as they were feeling troubled by all of this, they arrived at the entrance of the camp.

Seeing these few dusty travelers approaching, the soldiers standing guard at the entrance immediately raised their weapons.

“We've already told you, the order we received is to be stationed here. Go back.”

After saying that, someone behind them grabbed the bows and arrows beside them.

Seeing how these people were acting, the hearts of the few ministers couldn't help but skip a beat.

They could have found some other excuses to brush off the previous matters, but if such a thing were to be reported back, the trouble would be great.

“Tell Su Dingtian that I am his uncle and ask him to come out to see me.”

Seeing that the two people at the gate had revealed their names, they couldn't continue to stop them and could only obediently go in to report.

Upon learning that his two uncles had come here, Su Dingtian couldn't help but laugh.

“It seems that Jiangnan must be firmly held by our Su family. I don't believe anyone can surpass our Su family.”

As he spoke, Su Dingtian walked out.

Seeing his two elders who served as officials in the imperial court, Su Dingtian felt extremely proud in his heart.

It must be because these two elders vouched for him that Jiang Chen had not made things difficult for him all along.

In fact, the reason why he stayed put after arriving here was more to gain some bargaining chips for the Su family.

But as soon as he entered his tent, Su Daqiang kicked him to the ground.

“Do you know how much trouble your act of disobeying orders has caused us! If we hadn't risked our lives to vouch for you, our Su family would already be traitors!”

Seeing his uncle so angry, Su Dingtian didn't take it seriously.

“Uncle, so what if he treats us as traitors? We have money, we have food, and we have the entire Jiangnan aristocratic families as our most crucial backing. Even if His Majesty wants to take action against us, he has to carefully consider it.”

Seeing Su Dingtian, who was so ignorant and fearless, Su Daqiang became even more angry.

“If the front lines were defeated, then what you said would be completely fine, but now the front lines have achieved a great victory! Do you understand what that means!”

“Right now, if reinforcements from other places were to arrive, do you think you would still have any chance of winning? The Su family is just an aristocratic family and doesn't have the ability to contend with the entire imperial court. Moreover, there are still many people eyeing our Su family's position. The only reason they are so kind to you is because the Su family is currently unprecedentedly strong.”

“If you send out these handles according to your habit, have you thought about the consequences for the other members of the family?”

At the moment he understood how self-righteous his previous actions were, Su Dingtian, who had just thought he had made an unparalleled contribution, instantly fell into silence.

“The reason why we named you Su Dingtian in the first place was because we hoped that you could stand tall and take over the position of future head of the Su family. If you still haven't changed in any way, I'm afraid the entire Su family won't even last until the day you become the head of the family.”

“Jiang Zuo Wang cannot contend with His Majesty in any way. Take your uncle's advice and don't take what that Jiang Zuo Wang guy is coaxing you with seriously. If he really had the ability, do you think he would have failed?”

Now, Su Daqiang's words were like sharp knives piercing into Su Dingtian's heart.

Realizing what kind of mistake he had almost made, Su Dingtian's face was now pale, completely devoid of his previous infinitely glorious appearance.

Seeing his two elders constantly sighing, Su Dingtian fell into a state of deep self-doubt.

“Then, you two elders, what do you think I should do next to wash away the mistakes I made before? Only by settling all those mistakes can I hope to completely exonerate myself. After all, that messenger saw me ordering the arrows to be fired.”

Upon learning of this news, Su Daqiang sighed helplessly.
