Facing Huo Qi's inquiry, Song Huan did not blink and only uttered one word.
"kill!"
Huo Qi was shocked by Song Huan's decision to kill, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, will you only kill the soldiers who escaped from the Shenji Camp?"
"Or should we kill them all together with the military camp in the southern suburbs?"
"Kill them all, of course!"
A fierce light suddenly appeared in Song Huan's eyes, revealing endless murderous intent. Even Huo Qi couldn't help but be shocked.
"Li Ping'an tried to use these despicable means to discredit me and the Shenji Camp. I can only say that he still thinks too simply."
"Do you really think that this king is a fool who has no brain at all?"
"correct."
"Those people from the Shenji Camp, remove them first and then kill them!"
"Lest we ruin the reputation of our Shenji Camp soldiers!"
With that said, Song Huan asked Huo Qi: "By the way, Song De went to Liangzhou to suppress bandits."
"When we set out, I will ask you to send a shadow guard into the army."
"Have your men still been in contact with you?"
Huo Qi nodded: "Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have sent back two secret letters, but they are just daily reports."
"But what he described to his subordinates made them discover something very unusual!"
"Oh?" Song Huan's curiosity was piqued, "What's something unusual?"
Huo Qi frowned slightly and said seriously: "He said in the secret letter that the second prince is not as brave and good at fighting as rumored."
"Every time we fight against horse bandits, the second prince, as the leader of the bandit-suppressing army, rarely appears on the battlefield in person!"
"Almost always he just hides in the camp. Unless there is a very fierce battle, he will never show up easily."
Hearing this, Song Huan couldn't help but complain about Song De silently in his heart.
Since you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, don't set up any "brave and good at fighting" persona for yourself in the first place!
Now he is on the battlefield, but he is like a coward, afraid to show his face, which affects the morale of the bandit suppressing soldiers.
It would be better for him not to go on this trip!
After Huo Qilue paused, he continued: "But what is strange to me is that the Second Prince only went to the battlefield very few times, but he fell into dangerous situations several times!"
"The Second Prince was almost injured several times, but fortunately he ran fast enough and is still unscathed to this day."
"What my subordinates don't understand is that as a general, the Second Prince will be well protected."
"And his martial arts skills are not bad, and he can run very fast!"
"Why are you always in danger during the few times you go into battle?"
Huo Qi's doubts are not unreasonable.
As a commander-in-chief, even if Song De goes to the front line in person, he must be protected by his deputy at all times!
What's more, as Huo Qi said, this guy should be further away from danger if he runs so fast.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly put himself in danger?
Song Huan couldn't understand why, so he had to tell Huo Qi: "Let your men continue to keep an eye on Song De and the people who are often around him."
"If you find anything wrong, report it immediately!"
Huo Qiyi cupped his hands and replied: "Yes!"
…
When Song Huan got up early the next morning, he felt like his whole body had been hammered hard.
This body has been pampered for many years and has never done any hard work.
I was just supervising the army at the Shenji Camp, but my body felt so sore!
It seems necessary to let Cheng Tianlin teach him a move and a half to stretch his muscles and bones!
Under the service of Cuimei, Song Huan changed his clothes with grinning teeth and rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to attend the morning court.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the courtiers had already arrived.
Seeing that the fourth prince Song Huan was coming, many ministers took the initiative to come forward and chat with Song Huan.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you are here!"
"I heard that the first day of training at the Shenji Camp was a great success!"
"Thousands of soldiers are all sincerely convinced by you, and they are so prostrate to you!"
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the fourth prince would be nothing if he didn't take action. Once he takes action, he will be the chosen general!"
Several ministers did not hesitate to praise him and flattered Song Huan.
It’s no wonder that they are used to following the wind. Looking at the current Liang Dynasty, no one knows that the fourth prince is the most popular prince around Emperor Liang!
Even though these ministers all claim to be neutral, they can't help but come forward to compliment this rising star.
"Humph, a little thing with no hair even, how can he think that he is so powerful when others praise him for a few words?"
Seeing several ministers surrounding Song Huan and praising him like stars holding the moon, Xu Rong couldn't help showing disdain.
As soon as these words came out, everyone did not dare to say anything and looked at Xu Rong in shock.
Although the general's style has always been forthright, if he dared to insult the prince in public in the court, that would be a great disrespect to the Tian family!
No matter how great a general you are, if you dare to speak rudely like this, you will lose your head!
Realizing that she had been outspoken and said the wrong thing, Xu Rong coughed twice.
"Ahem, I'm just talking about the two new parrots in my house. What are you guys looking at me doing?"
All the courtiers closed their mouths and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Even a fool can understand that the general's intention was very obvious just now. He was obviously attacking the fourth prince!
But he changed his words in time, and even if the fourth prince was unhappy, he couldn't break out on the spot.
Everyone turned their attention to Song Huan, wondering how the fourth prince would react.
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince still had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't take Xu Rong's words seriously at all!
"An old dog covered in scars, brainless, bad-tempered and impulsive. He has no other abilities except barking indiscriminately!"
"Don't worry, General. I'm just talking about the old dog in the palace who looks after the house and the courtyard."
"A dog is old and can't do anything except bark a few times to make people angry!"
As soon as Song Huan said these words, Xu Rong's face turned red instantly, and his neck was slapped several times!
"Fourth Prince, what do you mean!"
"I am your Majesty's personally appointed General Hufu. You are really arrogant when you insult me like this!"
Song Huan blinked innocently: "General, which of your eyes saw that this king was insulting you?"
"I made it clear and clear. What I just said was just the old dog who guards the courtyard in my palace!"
"It's just an old dog, so why should the general be so excited?"
Xu Rong's chest rose and fell violently, and he glared at Song Huan angrily, but he was speechless for a moment and couldn't say a word!
Seeing Xu Rong's furious look, Song Huan snorted coldly and left without even looking at the furious Xu Rong.
Xu Rong was so angry that he gritted his teeth. After being blocked by several ministers of war around him, he suppressed his anger and wanted to come forward to argue.
Haha, since this fourth prince likes to be arrogant so much, let him continue to be arrogant!
Let's see how long he can be proud!
