"Your Majesty, I am Li Zhenjiang. I pay my respects to you!"
Li Zhenjiang spoke in a deep and powerful voice, and he bowed respectfully with a group of generals.
"Marshal Li, no need to be so polite."
Jiang Li walked over quickly and reached out to help him up.
"The late emperor and I have both issued decrees: Marshal Li may enter the palace wearing a sword and sandals, may not bow when meeting the emperor, may not kneel when entering the court, may wear black armor painted with dragons, and may not be punished for nine crimes. Remember not to be overly polite!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and the late Emperor for your kindness. However, as a commander-in-chief, I must lead by example and respect the imperial authority. This will prevent my subordinates from becoming arrogant. If I die in battle, the Great Wall Army will not become a threat to the imperial court and endanger the lives of the people."
Li Zhenjiang had a solemn expression, spoke directly, and his voice was deafening.
He did not speak empty words to Her Majesty the Empress. The higher his position, the more cautious he had to be.
If one day he is gone and this group of people lose their reverence for His Majesty, there will be endless troubles.
"Marshal, you worry too much. The Great Wall Army is a loyal and brave army, and they are especially loyal to the court. I trust them!"
Lin Che's face felt a little hot when he heard this.
Did Her Majesty the Empress give him a warning? Did she give him a warning?
Now his Shenjiying only recognizes the orders of him as the general and does not recognize any imperial edicts.
To be honest, nowadays if there are some imperial edicts from the court and they are passed on to the Shenji Camp, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp will not say "His Majesty has sent an imperial edict", but "Our general's wife has spoken"; this is more effective than saying the imperial edict.
"This is General Lin Che, the King of Yanyun, right?"
Suddenly, Li Zhenjiang in front looked over, and all three eyes were sizing up Lin Che intently.
"Greetings, Marshal Li. I've long heard of your great name!" Lin Che bowed.
Because Li Zhenjiang was so tall, even Lin Che had to raise her head when speaking.
Upon seeing this, he frowned again. Li Zhenjiang's chest was stained with blood. The armor was already cracked with countless cracks.
In the center of the armor, there is a thick purple gold bowl inlaid!
Blood was dripping along the smooth curved surface.
"Marshal, you are injured!"
Lin Che was shocked. This purple-gold bowl was clearly used by the powerful demon Buddha when chanting scriptures, but now it was like a deadly weapon, shattering Li Zhenjiang's armor and injecting half of the purple-gold bowl into Li Zhenjiang's chest.
Looking at the fresh blood dripping, Lin Che's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
No wonder he noticed the chaotic sounds among the war horses, it was because Marshal Li Zhenjiang was injured.
But since he was already seriously injured, why was he still here directing the deployment?
Shouldn't he be treated immediately?
Li Zhenjiang acted as if nothing had happened and said in a deep voice, "Nothing serious. We have defeated the outer demons in the past two days and killed thirteen of their Ming Wang. You also contributed to this."
"The tactics I used this time were derived from the chess game you invented. Hahaha, if it weren't for this chess game, I wouldn't have come up with this tactic. Your Majesty, please credit General Lin Che with the first credit!"
Jiang Li didn't have the same mentality as Li Zhenjiang. She said quickly:
"I know you won't want immediate treatment, so I came here in person. Don't worry, I've already asked the Divine Machine Battalion to help with defenses. Marshal Li, you need immediate treatment and can't delay any longer. The Great Wall of Fortune cannot do without you!"
The other deputy generals had actually wanted to persuade him a long time ago, but they knew Li Zhenjiang's temperament better.
No amount of persuasion would help.
Now that His Majesty was present, they all spoke up:
"Yes, Marshal. Go and heal your wounds!"
"With us here, those demon Buddhas will never be able to set foot here! They can't launch a sneak attack now!"
Li Zhenjiang still waved his hands and was about to give an order.
Suddenly, several officers came running over from a distance. They spoke in surprise from a distance:
"Marshal, those demon Buddhas have retreated!"
"Reporting to the Marshal, just as you guessed, this group of demon Buddhas really took advantage of our army's absence and attempted a sneak attack. But fortunately, they were discovered by General Chen Zhuo, who sounded the alarm in time. Seeing that the sneak attack was hopeless, they all retreated!"
Li Zhenjiang was overjoyed and laughed heartily, full of pride:
"This kid Chen Zhuo is still so alert. Call him over!"
After a while, Chen Zhuo came limping over as ordered.
After some greetings, Chen Zhuo heard Li Zhenjiang talking about this matter and wanted to credit him for the first contribution.
Chen Zhuo didn't dare to take credit for it, so he immediately said, "Reporting to the Marshal, it wasn't my subordinates who discovered that the demon Buddha was planning a sneak attack underground in the dark river, but General Lin Che. It was he who dived into the underground river and defeated the powerful enemy."
Li Zhenjiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Che again.
Lin Che took the opportunity to speak up, "Indeed, General Chen Zhuo and I discovered it together. The surroundings were so quiet at the time, and General Chen Zhuo pointed out something was amiss. That's when I discovered the demon Buddha underground. Then we divided the work. I went down to stop the enemy, and he was in charge of informing the entire army. Fortunately, we scared the demon Buddha away!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Che glanced at Chen Zhuo and nodded slightly at him.
Chen Zhuo was no fool. Lin Che was clearly giving him half the credit. He was also very grateful.
He hadn't taken the credit, and he had indeed fired the signal flare. Since Lin Che had given him half the credit, he should have accepted it. It would have been hypocritical to emphasize that it had nothing to do with him.
Besides, he himself doesn’t want the credit, but what about the guards who follow him?
