What Wood said was extremely rude.
However, what surprised Qin Wei and others was that instead of showing any anger, the prince actually raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"General Wu is worthy of our northern garrison. He is so dedicated. I cannot blame this Shenwei Camp for being well managed. Not only are the disciplines strict, but also every soldier is in high spirits."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Wei and others were slightly stunned.
Did you hear that right? The prince was actually praising him?
Liu Yin saw this and sneered, thinking in his heart.
Liu Qi, aren't you quite tempered? There are actually people you are afraid of.
Faced with Liu Qi's arrogant attitude, Wood's chest suddenly straightened out, looking arrogant.
He was not polite either.
"Of course, I will defend Daqing in the north, so I will naturally train an iron army! Otherwise, how can Qingdu be prosperous?"
Too arrogant!
It's simply heartbreaking to hear.
If yesterday, he was relatively restrained, today he can be said to be extremely reckless!
The prosperity of Qingdu was actually due to his defense of the northern border. How dare you say this?
But what no one expected again was.
Liu Qi actually chuckled a few more times and nodded.
"What the general said is true. If the general had not been loyal to protect the country, how could we have peace in Daqing? The reputation of General Huwei is certainly not in vain!"
Zhao Wenhui was dumbfounded.
Prince, do you know what you are going to say?
At this time, seeing the prince's attitude, not to mention Wood, even the generals sitting next to him began to feel proud.
Everyone couldn't help but think.
The prince entered Pingcheng, and probably after inquiring, he finally understood who was the lord of the northern territory.
Later, when he arrived at the military camp, he lost his temper after being manipulated.
Now it seems that he is clearly cowarded, and everything he says is trying his best to please General Wood.
This prince is quite sensible!
At this time, Liu Qi continued to speak.
"General Wood, I have a merciless request."
"Since the general just said that he has trained an iron army for Daqing, why not take me with you and watch them conduct a military exercise?"
Military exercise?
Wood's brows suddenly frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, our troops are currently undergoing daily drills. Is it inappropriate to suddenly conduct a military exercise?"
This is almost a far-fetched reason.
It’s a complete rejection!
Liu Qi was still not angry, and looked at Wood with a smile, as if to please.
"General Wu, it's just a small military exercise. With such a small request, can't you still satisfy me?"
Qin Wei wiped his eyes. From the time he met the prince until now, he had never seen him with such a begging expression.
Liu Yin felt happy when he saw it.
Hahaha, Liu Qi, Liu Qi, where is your arrogance? Where is your authority? Where have they gone?
Go and look in the mirror, you look like a pug wagging its tail begging for mercy.
On weekdays, you are used to being arrogant in the court, but when you come to the northern border, it is not easy for you to do that.
Humph, you don't have to be obedient in front of General Wood.
Liu Qi didn't care about the eyes of the people around him and continued talking.
"General Wood, I have been thinking about it sincerely. I want to see the majesty of your iron army. When I fall, I can also go back and tell the emperor that General Wu's army is the best, and it is definitely not those villains. What you said is a waste of fame!"
After hearing this, Wood stopped immediately.
"Oh? There are actually people who say that my general's army is in vain?"
Although I felt in my heart that this was very possible, it was just the prince's method of provoking generals.
But whatever, let him see what kind of army he has in his hands. It will not only open his eyes, but also shock him!
"No, no, no, how could the general be in vain? Even if there is no military exercise, I believe that you will definitely be an iron army!"
"Humph, since the prince said so, I will take some time off today and take my troops with me to show the prince!"
...
Shenwei camp, school field.
Dust was flying and people were shouting. Thousands of soldiers were fully armed, and their fine armor shone sharply in the sun.
They held long spears and hung quivers on their waists, like an iron-blooded army ready to go.
Liu Qi followed a group of generals in military uniforms and stood on a high platform, admiring the military exercises going on below the stage.
A command podium with colorful flags flying was set up at one end of the school field, and the sound of horns echoed in the air, adding a tense atmosphere to the military exercise.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle broke the silence, and the soldiers quickly lined up in two rows, like two steel great walls.
Then, the atmosphere on the school grounds became more tense, and there was a chilling atmosphere in the air.
As the flags in the hands of the generals waved, the soldiers began to move in an orderly manner, their steps firm, like an unstoppable torrent.
The arrows shone coldly in the sun, and the spears crisscrossed in the air, making sharp metal collision sounds.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry galloped out, raising a cloud of dust and smoke. They galloped through the school grounds, like an iron stream, with majestic momentum.
Halfway through, a general suddenly asked Liu Qiyan.
"Your Highness, do you understand what kind of formation this is?"
Liu Qi smiled and shook his head.
"I don't know much about military affairs, so I don't understand what kind of formation this is."
At this time, another general asked.
"Then your highness can see how the commander arranged it?"
"I don't know."
From what the prince said, he was clearly a military novice.
Wood laughed.
"Your Highness, in this exercise, I asked the soldiers to use the simplest formations and command arrangements. If you can't understand them, why do you dare to lead the troops to fight with the Huns?"
"Looking at the future, aren't you simply leading the soldiers to find the Huns to die! Hahaha."
As soon as Wood finished speaking, the generals around him laughed.
Qin Wei's chest heaved with anger, and he was about to step forward to scold him, but was stopped by Liu Qi.
"What the general said is true, but I can't help it. As the prince, I can't just watch the Huns humiliate the people of Daqing and do nothing, right?"
Wood laughed.
"I will admire your highness's courage."
"But you can't fight with a moment of courage, you have to act within your capabilities."
It's like an elder teaching the younger generation.
Liu Qi nodded obediently. Very submissive.
Zhao Wenhui felt very unhappy when she saw it.
What's wrong with the prince? To become so cowardly?
Is it possible that those high spirits in the past were all just an act?
But just when Zhao Wenhui was thinking about it.
Liu Qi looked at the military exercise in the audience and suddenly let out a long sigh.
Wood was puzzled, and his brows suddenly became serious.
"Why is the prince sighing?"
"It's nothing, General Wu. I watched it for a long time, but I just found it a bit boring."
When Wood heard this, he snorted coldly.
"The prince doesn't know anything about military affairs, so naturally he is bored by it. This is a military exercise, not the kind of street acrobatics that the prince likes to watch!"
Liu Qi waved his hand.
"No, no, no, the general has misunderstood. This is not what I meant."
"I just think that the military exercise is a bit too dull after all. Wouldn't it look fun if it were divided into two armies to face each other?"
Wood's expression became obviously unhappy.
"Your Highness, if you like to go to the theater, why not go to the theater in Pingcheng? This is a military camp, not a place for performances!"
Seeing Wood's fierce look, Liu Qi was immediately shocked.
"General! You misunderstood!"
"Why do I think this is a show?"
"It's just that after I watched your Iron Army acting, I suddenly felt that you are only weaker than my sergeant!"
