In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Who is Nan Tu Rou?

Xiao Zhen had also heard that although she was a woman, she was decisive and ruthless in the military camp, and she was always indifferent to men, at most showing them a little respect.

But I've never heard of Nan Tu Rou behaving like this in front of a man.

Let alone how one treats a subordinate.

Nan Tu Rou's attitude was truly unbelievable to Xiao Zhen.

"That's hard to say."

"General, I wonder how the Prince's Mansion decided regarding the Marquis of Wuding's matter?"

Chen Shan asked.

He roughly guessed that Nan Tu Rou had asked them to stay because of this matter.

When this matter was brought up, Nan Tu Rou immediately said, "I have already relayed your previous suggestions and speculations to my father, and he has indeed found out the truth."

"As for the person, Father has already handed him over to the court, and he has not been implicated."

"However, the trouble is that even though Father handed the man over, he had no choice but to attend court, and with the encouragement of the civil officials, he became a member of the court."

When Nan Tu Rou talked about this, her brows furrowed, clearly indicating that this matter was causing her some trouble.

Originally, King Nan Tu was not required to attend court or anything like that.

There's no need for that.

But with the civil officials holding him back, the Southern Slaughter King had no choice but to comply, since the emperor had spoken.

Once involved in political discussions, regardless of the circumstances, civil servants will find fault with them.

Even if there is no evidence, evidence will be created.

This means that the Southern King who once didn't concern himself with court affairs no longer exists.

Chen Shan was not surprised by Nan Tu Rou's words.

If one truly wants to stay out of court affairs and avoid getting involved in other matters, then the Southern King should not hold military power.

After all, he was a king of a different surname. Even if the civil officials didn't have any designs on him, the emperor might not.

"General, did many officials start currying favor with the Prince's mansion afterward?"

"These days, it's not easy to be a pool of clear water."

"However, I can't really say anything about this since I haven't experienced it firsthand."

Nan Tu Rou brought it up simply to ask Chen Shan if he had a different opinion.

Previously, the other party did indeed intend to use the children of Marquis Wuding to eliminate the support of King Nantu, thereby gradually disintegrating him.

Even though he managed to avoid this trouble, he fell into another trap: he was forced to enter the imperial court.

The imperial court is a murky and corrupt place; once you enter, it's not easy to escape unscathed.

"Why didn't you consider this when you said it? Or did you already guess it and deliberately not say it?"

Seeing Chen Shan's helpless expression, Nan Tu Rou felt a surge of anger.

They confronted him directly.

Little did she know that after Chen Shan repeatedly performed miraculous feats and after being teased by his words, Nan Tu Rou's emotions were already fluctuating because of Chen Shan.

Even she herself didn't realize it.

"Well, I only gave you a casual reminder because the general is beautiful and kind-hearted. I didn't think much of it."

"However, it's not a problem if the general wants a solution."

Actually, Chen Shan hadn't even considered that his opponent might play a second move.

It was just a casual chat at first, but little did we know that Chu Yiren would see through some of the issues so quickly.

Chen Shan happened to run into Nan Tu Rou, and after a few conversations, he revealed his idea.

I never expected that the King of Southern Slaughter would actually do that.

"Do you have a way to remove my father from court?"

Nan Tu Rou's eyes lit up, and she unconsciously stepped forward, almost pressing herself against Chen Shan.

The reason it couldn't be attached was simply because Nan Tu Rou's well-developed pectoral muscles became unusually hard under the decoration of the armor, which Chen Shan managed to push away a bit.

Looking at Nan Tu Rou at such close range, her exquisite and beautiful face had clear and lively eyes, yet they also carried a fierce and murderous aura that ordinary women did not possess.

"Ahem, General, your pectoral muscles are too hard, they're uncomfortable."

Chen Shan coughed quickly, reminding Nan Tu Rou.

If he weren't wearing armor or anything, Chen Shan would have loved to get even closer, but the armor was so hard and uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Chen Shan's words, Nan Tu Rou immediately realized what he meant, blushed, and quickly stepped back.

"I'm asking you a question, stop interrupting me."

Nan Tu Rou's eyes darted away, and she quickly changed the subject.

They were afraid that Chen Shan would say something else.

"Well, I never said I could leave the court. I'm not the current emperor, I don't have that power."

"Besides, now that we're in the imperial court, why not turn the tables on them?"

"Given Enant's ability to slay the king, finding some reliable and capable help shouldn't be difficult."

"Besides, if the Southern King can put in a good word for me in court, wouldn't I be able to get promoted faster?"

When Chen Shan said this, both Nan Tu Rou and Xiao Zhen were stunned.

Clearly, no one expected that Chen Shan had this idea.

This is clearly a way to get the Southern King to support him.

Chen Shan is the first person to be able to make such a thing sound so reasonable and justifiable.

After all, when others seek a backer, they are all groveling and practically begging for favors.

But the situation was different when they arrived in Chenshan.

"Are you using my father as a stepping stone for your own purposes?"

Nan Tu Rou looked puzzled.

She really didn't expect Chen Shan to be so bold.

"Why not?"

"The Southern King has too much military power and is a king of a different surname. It's a good thing your family doesn't have a son, otherwise those people wouldn't have tolerated it until now."

"Instead of doing that, it's better to find yourself a more suitable helper."

"Besides, it's better to befriend someone more reliable than those civil officials in the court."

"After all, the general should have investigated my background as well; we know each other quite well, don't we?"

Chen Shan chuckled, but his words seemed to carry a different meaning to Nan Tu Rou.

What does it mean to know someone inside and out? It's not like we're talking about marriage.

Could this guy actually like me? He flirts with me every few words.

Nan Tu Rou was puzzled.

But he didn't intend to continue talking.

She knew very well that if she continued talking, Chen Shan wouldn't offer any other solutions.

Instead, Chen Shan would keep teasing her.

She didn't want to lose her composure.

However, Chen Shan's method is not entirely unacceptable.

After all, the civil officials in the court were too cunning, and they had been in the court for many years, with very complicated relationships, making them the most difficult to deal with.

"If there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

Chen Shan didn't say much. Once you get close to Nan Tu Rou, you can feel a big change in her attitude.

However, this is good news for Chen Shan.

After all, improving favorability depends entirely on this.

You'll get a reward as long as you can improve.

Chen Shan had been looking forward to it for a long time.

After all, Chu Yiren is the only one who hasn't reached 100 yet. If Nan Tu Rou can reach 80, the reward should be pretty good.
