"Your Highness?"
Looking at the retreating figures of the army, the Emperor's Sword in Wang Chen's hand did not fall for a long time.
Only the old eunuch on the side reminded him, and he finally put the Emperor's Sword back into its scabbard as if waking up from a dream.
The conversation in the court a few days ago was not actually an impromptu performance by Wang Lin and Dai Tianye, but their plans after previous discussions.
"Brother Lin, this trip is very dangerous. The northern border is not as good as the capital. If you get there, you will face the real enemy. Do you really want to go?"
"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your understanding, but compared to the enemies hiding in the shadows in the court, I feel that maybe I can deal with such real enemies more easily."
Wang Chen recalled the conversation he had with Wang Lin a few days ago.
The proud expression of his own imperial brother was still visible in front of his eyes at this moment. At this moment, Wang Chen really felt that the Wang Lin in front of him was more suitable to be the king of the world than himself.
"I'm tired, go back."
After what was estimated to be an hour, Wang Chen finally walked down from the high platform on the outskirts of Beijing.
This place was originally a ruined wall of unknown dynasty and generation, but now with some temporary arrangements, it has turned into a high platform for him to lead the soldiers to swear an oath.
"Be careful."
Wang Chen turned his head, looked at the woman who had been standing behind him from the beginning, and said.
Qiu Yun, who was standing behind Wang Chen, nodded slightly at this time. Behind her, there were two royal guards following her.
One is to protect, and the other is to look at Qiu Yun in front of her.
It was true that she had come out of the dark room in the palace, but she still had to be careful in everything in front of the emperor.
When Wang Lin stuffed Qiu Yun into the palace, he only said that she was an important person and told Wang Chen not to pay attention to her on weekdays. If there is an important occasion, let her also participate.
Therefore, Qiu Yun naturally came to today's swearing-in meeting.
Qiu Yun stepped down from the high platform and glanced at the end where the army disappeared.
The pupils trembled slightly, seeming to have some complicated emotions.
"Hopefully, God will let him come back victorious..."
…
Although in the capital, countless people were already praying for Wang Lin. But on this difficult march, they faced many difficulties.
However, after running around day and night, everyone finally reached the northern border, Luqiu City, which had not yet fallen.
The barbarians came with such ferocity that they swallowed up a lot of territory in Daxia in the blink of an eye.
Luqiu City, where they are now stationed, is adjacent to the territory engulfed by the Hu people. It is now the most borderland city in Daxia.
Behind them is the Yumen Pass guarding the capital.
At night, Wang Lin and Su Yi and Su Hongxiu came to inspect the army's station in Luqiu City, and immediately attracted a lot of attention. But at the same time, it also attracted a lot of criticism.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Lin!"
A soldier in the army looked at Wang Lin walking towards him, stood up suddenly, put his right fist on his chest, and performed a military salute, his eyes full of humility and compliments.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Lin!"
When the surrounding soldiers saw him, they realized that Wang Lin had arrived at the military camp, and they quickly followed suit and gave a military salute to Wang Lin in front of them.
Wang Lin also smiled and returned the greeting to everyone in front of him: "Thank you for your hard work."
But just after Wang Lin turned around and left, the scene in front of him changed.
Whether he was respectful or not, he didn't know. But since he turned around, there were bursts of sneers from behind him.
"His Royal Highness, King Lin, came to inspect the camp so late. It's a good idea."
"Haha, he's just a delicate and idle prince who can't lift it with his hands or carry it on his shoulders. He's just here to walk around, so you take it seriously."
Although the sound was extremely small, it seemed particularly clear and harsh in this otherwise peaceful night.
Not only Wang Lin on the side heard it, but Su Yi and Su Hongxiu behind Wang Lin also heard these words word for word.
"Bold! Seek death!"
Su Yi's eyes suddenly looked like the right-hand man protecting the wolf king among the wolves, and he glanced from behind Wang Lin towards the sergeant who had just made a sound.
This glance made the sergeant who was still talking just now become mute in an instant. However, there was still a rather unconvinced expression on his face.
If the entire military camp used to be polite and flattering, now everyone has stopped pretending, and conflicts are about to break out.
He had a bad temper, so he jumped out at this moment: "Why, these brothers all tie their heads to their belts to protect the world for the royal family."
"Is it possible that you, a slave, dare to kill several of your brothers to sacrifice the flag before the war begins?"
This sentence was extremely powerful and immediately aroused the emotions of more people present. There was more commotion in the originally peaceful military camp.
When Wang Lin saw this, he pressed Su Yi beside him, turned around and walked back to his previous position.
Bingyouzi exists in every era.
But Wang Lin had never seen Bingyouzi who dared to confront the prince and directly face the army commander.
However, this also illustrates the primary problem of Wang Lin's army that hastily ordered generals and set off in a hurry.
That is a taboo on marching and the military morale is unstable!
Faced with such a soldier, although Wang Lin knew that a severe beating would be enough to shut him up at the moment, he was not in a hurry to let Su Yi do it. After all, beating his body could not conquer his heart. It might just have the opposite effect.
"You can't carry your hands if you can't carry it on your shoulders. This is true." Wang Lin walked step by step to the bonfire in the camp in front of everyone. He looked at the people around him and said, "Throughout the ages, how many of my sons have been defeated by me?" The existence of the lost country. The blood of the ancestors has turned into a pool of dog blood when it reaches the descendants, which makes people sigh. "
"However, it would be wrong to say this to me."
"I am here today. Is there anyone who wants to try my skills?"
After Wang Lin asked this question just now, no one responded.
After all, although Wang Lin looks like a royal child, Su Yi standing next to him looks fierce, and he is not easy to deal with at first glance.
If he wins with his skill and lets the master and servant attack him from a flank, then...
"Is there no one?"
Wang Lin looked around and seemed to have guessed this result.
However, regarding this result, he did not just give up. Instead, he raised his voice and said:
"If anyone can defeat me, I will be rewarded with ten gold coins and my military rank will be promoted by one level!"
Just such a sentence caused the military camp, which had just been silent as death, to explode!
