How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 483: I Can Be Even Worse

Pei Shu’er: "..."

It seems Tao Mingxuan either thinks no one is here, or he is in the Tazi Camp. Yet, this fellow dares to instigate everyone to rebel.

Tang Peizhong glanced at Tao Mingxuan with a warning look.

Ma Zhong frowned and said, "Think Tank, be careful with your words. If others spread this, General Tang might get implicated."

General Zhao also said, "Think Tank, be cautious with your words."

Tang Zan looked at Tao Mingxuan with a meaningful gaze, saying, "Do not speak recklessly again next time. The Tang Family has been loyal for generations; don’t tarnish our reputation."

He then looked towards Ma Zhong, Tang Peizhong, and General Zhao who were present and said, "I don’t wish for this matter to be spread. If I hear even a semblance of it, none present will have it easy."

They were all close confidants, so it was unlikely they would leak such vital information. Otherwise, the Gulan Military Camp would face difficulties.

No, it would be Tang Zan who would face difficulties.

After all, even the Emperor of Dayan couldn’t easily handle over 110,000 soldiers. This many soldiers, all well-trained, would be too valuable to replace.

All he had to do was replace the general, and they’d still be a battle-hardened force.

Tang Zan said, "We will always be people of Dayan, we won’t rebel."

Pei Shu’er thought so too.

After all, compared to starting from the Gulan Military Camp and fighting all the way to the Capital, how much more comfortable it would be for Tang Zan to be the Regent King.

Being above all but one means that none of the Princes would be able to do anything about him.

He wouldn’t even need to waste a single soldier, yet could still manipulate everyone from the palm of his hand.

As these people received their orders and left.

Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er: "Shall we take a walk?"

Pei Shu’er knew in her heart that Tang Zan definitely had something to say to her.

She nodded, as the two walked towards the mountain behind; Pei Shu’er walked ahead, while Tang Zan followed behind.

He seemed like he had something to say, but it never came out.

It wasn’t until they reached the top of the mountain that Tang Zan finally spoke.

"Pei Shu’er, we have only a year left, awaiting us is nothing but stormy times."

"My father, back then was originally leading troops at the border, but after being conferred with a title, he was called back to the Capital."

"Precisely because my father handed over the Tiger Talisman with grace and dignity, the Emperor had no qualms, and when it came time to slaughter the donkey after the millstone, he showed no mercy."

Inside, Pei Shu’er understood too, at that time Tang Peizhong had he not surrendered military power, the Emperor would have feared him every day with the power in his hands.

When provoked, people would directly rebel.

"Regardless of whether the unseen hand behind the scenes is the Third Prince or the Twelfth Prince, they’re just a knife in the Emperor’s hands."

Thus, during this period he may have hated the Third Prince deeply but still kept him restrained, doing nothing to him.

The Third Prince was merely a knife.

More importantly, the Third Prince was still of use.

Tang Zan said, "I’ve decided to give Yan Hengyin the Soul-breaking Pill, then have him work for us."

The Soul-breaking Pill, is a method used by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for long-term control over people; if it doesn’t act up, they are like normal, but when it does the stomach cramps painfully, akin to a woman in labor.

Keeping Yan Hengyin locked up, the benefits can’t be maximized.

Pei Shu’er said, "You must be careful of any tricks Yan Hengyin might play."

After all, as long as Yan Hengyin interacts with outsiders, there are countless chances for him to relay things to others.

Such temporary pain means what?

For most of the time, he doesn’t hurt.

Tang Zan contemplated a bit, then said, "Shall I instead use Corpse Gu on Yan Hengyin? I don’t need him alive, only require him to appear alive in front of others."

Tang Zan was not familiar with Corpse Gu, but Pei Shu’er was.

"Corpse Gu, actually won’t stop the decay process of the body, moreover people become dull, within two days flaws will definitely show."

A dead scoundrel, she wasn’t sympathetic at all.

Thinking of it, Pei Shu’er’s eyes lit up: "I remember there’s a kind of Gu worm called Puppet Gu, once afflicted, one instantly loses consciousness, only knows to follow orders, yet appears normal."

Saying this, Pei Shu’er suddenly burst out laughing.

Tang Zan said, "Why are you laughing?"

Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow: "I just feel, since being with you, I’ve become less like a good person."

Pei Shu’er had never claimed to be a good person, but neither was she an evil one; just living without a guilty conscience sufficed.

However, being with Tang Zan seemed to make her increasingly uninhibited.

With those words, even Tang Zan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Your words are quite something."

After finishing, Tang Zan embraced Pei Shu’er’s waist and gently bit her lip.

"I can be even worse, can you?"

Pei Shu’er: "...No need, it wouldn’t be good to be seen."

Tang Zan raised an eyebrow: "What were you thinking?"

Pei Shu’er: "...Nothing."

Tang Zan laughed heartily: "I just noticed you seemed quite expectant."

Pei Shu’er felt wronged, she thought Tang Zan was planning something wild outdoors for excitement, yet she ended up being plotted against by him.

She could guarantee, anyone would think the same in such a scene, with such words.

She cleared her throat and then said, "You’ve also said, we only have one year left, given that, shouldn’t we also plan out the things for this year."

Tang Zan wasn’t afraid Pei Shu’er would leak it, he spoke softly: "I wish to prolong the time of defeating the Tazi till the very last deadline of the year, and also to lay out plans in the court."

If previously, saying anything about prolonging the time of defeating the Tazi as if they had victory in hand would have mercilessly been ridiculed by others.

But now, the Gulan Military Camp had that capability.

Not only the soldiers; even the generals weren’t easy targets.

Ma Zhong excels at offense, while General Zhao has perfected the art of defense.

As for Tang Peizhong, he’s an illustrious War King; since he was 17, he has fought through piles of corpses, his experience and intuition in warfare outclassing anyone.

The tactics, after so many years of fine-tuning, are incredibly mature.

Wherever he had been, enemies would tremble in fear.

Now, old wounds still linger on him, but for a general, command ability matters more than individual prowess.

As for Tang Zan, the son of the War King can’t be much worse than his father.

Furthermore, Pei Shu’er had numerous books on military strategy; in his leisure time they’d study military tactics from various dynasties, rivaling Tang Peizhong in terms of command and timing acumen.

Pei Shu’er said, "Then the matters I need to handle are rather straightforward, just making money, making money, striving to make money."

"Moreover, there’s a need to grow more crops in the space; given the current situation, grain yield will keep decreasing."

In the following years, it would be famine rampant; not only refugees, but there wouldn’t be many families in the city able to afford grain.

Mainly, the grain prices were simply too expensive.
