Chapter 1670

"Sir Liu, this is a secret edict. Take a look." Chen Ning took out a yellow imperial edict from her bag and gave it to Liu Chengyuan.

Liu Chengyuan hurriedly knelt down on both knees and respectfully received it with both hands raised high.

Chen Ning thought that it was a good thing she was prepared. When she was in Mo Chuan's study, she had secretly stamped a piece of yellow silk with a jade seal. Naturally she could write whatever she wanted on it.

"So this envoy really was sent by the emperor to help. This lowly official has neglected you, sir Chen, please forgive me."

After Liu Chengyuan read the imperial edict, he gave it back to Chen Ning and respectfully bowed again.

He did not have any doubts in his heart. Although he was still suspicious of the emperor sending only two people to defend the city, he could see from the imperial edict that this sir surnamed Chen was highly respected and that he had to listen to sir Chen's orders. He could tell that sir Chen's background was not small, otherwise how could he be so highly regarded by the emperor?

"Ignorance is not a crime. Sir Liu is also very cautious." Chen Ning revealed a faint smile.

"Sir Chen, miss Qianqian, please follow this lowly official into the city. This lowly official will prepare a banquet to entertain the two envoys." Liu Chengyuan personally came forward to lead Chen Ning's horse.

"There's no need for a banquet, the South Yue army will arrive soon. This envoy is here to help Sir Liu defend the city, not to eat and drink. Let's enter the city first, this envoy will immediately discuss the matter of defending the city with Sir Liu." Chen Ning said.

Hearing her words, Liu Chengyuan's skeptical heart fell back into his stomach and his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Chen Ning.

Don't look at how this sir Chen was young, he was very direct and straightforward, not beating around the bush at all.

Good! This was the kind of official he liked!

He was a hundred times better than those corrupt officials who came to eat and drink after receiving the imperial edict!

He was also a practical person, so he brought Chen Ning into the city. He did not go straight to the garrison palace, but rather he brought her to see the military arrangements and gave her his plan to defend the city.

"Garrison Liu, you mean that you want to defend the city to the death?"

Before Liu Chengyuan could finish, Chen Ning had already cut him off.

"That's right, does sir Chen have a better idea? This lowly official is willing to listen. "

Liu Chengyuan revealed a surprised look. He had spoken for a long time, but Chen Ning's expression was still calm, like she was not interested in what he was saying at all.

This made his heart feel even more uneasy.

It wasn't that Chen Ning was not interested, but rather she did not understand at all.

"Guard Liu, let me ask you, how many soldiers are there in the city?" She went straight to the point.

"There are a total of five thousand soldiers."

This was a military secret, but Liu Chengyuan answered without any hesitation because he had already treated Chen Ning as one of his own.

This was a military secret, but Ning replied without any hesitation. Is Chen Chen, Chengyuan's, and said, right. "

Chen Chen, Chen Chen, Chen, "Ning, this envoy, Chen Chen, Chen," Ning and Chen, "

He said embarrassedly, "It's not that this lowly official wanted to deceive the honorable envoy, but this lowly official is used to it … used to it. The honorable envoy is right, there are only three thousand people stationed in this city, but if we include the young people in the city, we can make up to five thousand."
