Chapter 98 Come Back Alive
Half a month later, an old eunuch came to inform Zhao Xin that the emperor had prepared a mansion for Zhao Xin in the palace, which was not far from the fourth prince. Naturally, Zhao Xin couldn't refuse the emperor's kindness, so he lived with Lin Susu.
Life is so stable that I have nothing to do except go to the early morning every day, which is in line with the wishes of Zhao Xin and others. If there are too many things, it will delay practice.
But things will not go on unchanged. One day after half a year, things will turn around, which is a sign that Zhao Xin and others' stable life will come to an end.
On this day, in the early morning, a minister said, "Hurray, the barbarians in the wild land in the south have been extremely rampant recently, attacking several cities. The king of the barbarians is even more invincible, as if he can do any other demons. If these barbarians are not suppressed, they may endanger the government. Long live, please send troops there. It's urgent.
The emperor frowned. He also fought with barbarians when he was young, knowing that this satisfied person was naturally powerful. However, they are all brave and reckless men, but if the king of the barbarians can do demons as the minister said, it will be easy to do. The emperor said the difficult things directly in the court, so he said, "The barbarians also dare to despise the power of my dynasty!" Which general is willing to go on an expedition for me?
As soon as the emperor said this, the majestic generals in armor lowered their heads one by one, and there was no more usual arrogance and domineering.
The emperor looked at these scenes and shook his head disappointedly, "Isn't there anyone in the empire who can fight? What's the use of raising you?" With that, he pointed to the generals with their heads down.
Lin Yang's eyes couldn't help but light up. This is the opportunity to leave the palace. Even if it is dangerous, it is better than staying in the palace. So Lin Yang took a step and bowed and said, "Father, I am willing to take the order to fight."
The emperor frowned and said coldly, "No, you are a prince and a crown prince. You are not allowed to participate in such wars."
Lin Yang explained, "Father, Lord Li also said that the king of the barbarians can demonize. Ordinary generals will only die if they go there. The minister is a true man, and he may be able to deal with one or two. Father, please order your sons and ministers to go.
Zhao Xin also stood up and said, "Father, I am willing to fight side by side with the fourth prince." Originally, Zhao Xin was not used to calling it that, but he got used to it after a long time.
The emperor knew that Zhao Xin was a free and honest man, and it might be really feasible to have him and the fourth prince together. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "In this case, the two emperors will go on my behalf. The fourth prince, believe in the prince's order!"
Zhao Xin and Lin Yang bowed at the same time and said, "My ministers accept the order."
The emperor said loudly, "Today, the barbarians are disturbed, and I ordered you to lead troops to sweep away the barbarians and return my peace. Give Shang Fang a sword, and any matter can be cut first and then be played.
Lin Yang took a step forward and took the sword handed over by the old eunuch and said loudly, "I take the order."
The emperor nodded and announced, "In order to avoid long dreams, the two emperors will start with troops on the same day."
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "Yes, father. Father, do you dare to ask if you can make friends with the barbarians? Or subdue the barbarians."
"Is it because they are called barbarians that they are stubborn and subdue the barbarians? It's better not to say such jokes. If the emperor can really do it, it may be a good choice to make friends with the barbarians. The emperor rejected Zhao Xin's remarks, but did not refuse to make friends with the barbarians.
Zhao Xin bowed and said, "I understand, and I will leave."
The emperor also stood up and said loudly, "Retiring from the court, tomorrow I will personally lead all officials to see the emperor off."
After dispersing in the early morning, Zhao Xin returned to his Xinwang Mansion and informed Lin Susu of the matter. Lin Susu looked worried. Zhao Xin comforted Lin Susu, "What are you worried about? It's just barbarians. We are all practitioners. Can we be afraid of these ordinary people?
"What are you talking about? We? Didn't you go alone? Who else? Can I also go with you?" Lin Susu asked in surprise. It turned out that he was not worried about Zhao Xin's safety, but worried about not being able to see each other for a period of time.
Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "Don't go. Stay in the palace and stay with Ruyan. Recently, I have seen you two always running to the harem. That's where the queen and concubines live. What did you do in the past?
Lin Susu said with a proud smile, "You're really right. That's where the queen and concubine live. Lin Yang's mother also lived there. Some time ago, she came to find Lin Yang. At that time, Lin Yang was practicing. We chatted with the queen, but we didn't expect that the queen liked us very much and asked us to go to the harem to talk to her from time to time. You haven't said who else is going to go on an expedition with you? Why can't I go together?"
Zhao Xin said casually without thinking, "What are you talking about? This is a war, a war, what are you doing with a woman? The fourth prince and I went on an expedition together. Both of us are in the middle of Jindan. There should be no surprises.
Lin Susu gave Zhao Xin a direct look and said, "What's wrong with the woman? Who said that women can't go to the battlefield? My cultivation is not much lower than yours. How dare you look down on me?
Zhao Xin found that his kindness had been misunderstood. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "Don't get me wrong. I have nothing to do. There will be a lot of dangers when you go there. How can I rest assured that you will go? Just wait in the palace at ease. When I win and return, it will be when we get married.
Zhao Xin's words made Lin Susu blush and whispered shyly, "Well, I'll wait for you to come back. You have to make sure you can come back safely!"
Zhao Xin vowed, "Of course, don't forget who I am!" I'm Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin, the one who saves the world!"
Lin Susu stretched out Qianyu and pointed to Zhao Xin's forehead and smiled, "You are poor-mouthed, I believe you are. Be well prepared. When will you start tomorrow? I'll see you off!"
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "It should be time to leave tomorrow. Tomorrow, the emperor and ministers will go to see him off. Don't go. I'm afraid you'll be sad.
"Fuck you, I won't be sad. Who do you think you are? Will I be sad for you?" Lin Susu said coquettishly.
Zhao Xin knew that Lin Susu was just talking and would definitely be unhappy at that time. In the end, he did not promise to let her give it to himself. The main reason is that I'm afraid that Susu will be sad, and secondly, I'm afraid that I really can't bear to take her away.
Zhao Xin thought of this and smiled, "Okay, I know. I'll be careful myself. I'll prepare something to bring."
Lin Susu interrupted Zhao Xin, who was about to turn around and leave: "Why aren't you very careful? I'll prepare it for you and bring it to you tomorrow."
Zhao Xin scratched the back of his head and said shyly, "Thank you. I'll go and practice first." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lin Susu looked at Zhao Xin's back as he left, with a resentful look on her face and whispered, "Don't you want to spend more time with me? Don't you have anything to say to me? Am I that annoying?" It's just that no one can hear her words.
The next day, Lin Yang and Zhao Xin stood on the court to participate in the early morning as usual. After the early morning, the emperor led the civil and military officials to send the two out of Xuanwu Gate. There were 500,000 troops waiting outside the city. Although Lin Susu and Liu Ruyan were not allowed to come to see each other off, no one could stop them from coming.
In order not to worry the two princes, the two women flew in the air and stood in the distant sky silently looking at the people on the ground.
Out of Xuanwumen, a general-like man came over and punched them and said, "The two princes will be the leaders of these 500,000 troops and will follow the two princes on an expedition."
Lin Yang replied with a smile and said, " Commander Li, I didn't expect my father to send you here, and there is nothing to do here. Commander Li, tell everyone that we will leave immediately.
President Li bowed and answered in a loud voice: "The last general takes the order." So he turned around and left.
Lin Yang turned around and knelt down to the emperor standing in front of the civil and military officials and said, "Father, my son has gone, and he will return triumph in a few days. Father will wait for his son's triumph."
At this time, the emperor was like a kind old father. He stretched out his hand to pull Lin Yang, stroked Lin Yang's cheek, and turned his head to look at Zhao Xin and said, "The two emperors should take care of themselves. If you don't have the ability to defeat the enemy, they will withdraw first and let the soldiers block them. The emperor's life is the most important thing, remember.
Zhao Xin squeezed his lips and lowered his head. Obviously, he had something to say. The emperor saw this and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to say? But it doesn't matter."
Zhao Xin shook his head: "It's nothing. Maybe my father can't understand. As a general, be a pioneer and set an example. If the general withdraws first, the army will lose its backbone, and it will lose its military heart and collapse without fighting! This is not what I want to see, so I would rather die than retreat!"
The emperor was angry when he heard this and shouted, "Stupid! A failure does not mean that our dynasty has been defeated! Leave the green mountains without worrying about firewood. If they were as reckless as you, our empire would have perished long ago. How can there be a barbarian invasion? War, according to your ability, depends on whether your sacrifice is worth it! Your death will have no impact on the situation, but will accelerate the defeat of our army. Then your death is stupid! If the situation is doomed to the victory of our army, it is not impossible to sacrifice one or two generals, but it is definitely not your reckless death!"
When Zhao Xin saw that the emperor was really angry, he lowered his head and whispered, "What my father taught me is that my son wrote it down!"
The emperor said earnestly, "I don't want to yell at you deliberately. You have to remember that although you can take the head of the enemy general from it, first of all, you must make sure that you can come back alive after you take the head of the enemy general."
