Chapter 111 So you mean one to two
System: [As soon as the name Li Jiangling appeared, I remembered that this name had appeared in the melon of Zhonglang of the Du Shuisi. I didn't say it at the time because I thought it was not interesting compared to the melodramatic content and I was too lazy to say it.]
The courtiers staggered: !!!
What?!
System, do you still need to rely on your preferences to choose a melon? !
Can't we treat all melons equally?
Yuan Ruan was stunned: [I understand, melodrama is more exciting. But who is Du Shui Si Zhonglang? ]
The courtiers almost fell down.
Xiao Guoyun, you are a melon eater, a daily throwaway!
You were so sad at first that you thought to yourself, "How can a beautiful woman like you be a thief?", but now you don't even remember it?!
System: [It’s that “one to two”! ]
Yuan Ruan: [Oh, it's him. Emma told me his code name earlier. I can't remember his official name. What's his relationship with him?]
System: [When that guy introduced the two outstanding servants of Zhonglang of the Du Shuisi, he jokingly said that Li Jiangling was an indispensable half-mentor for these two servants on their way to becoming great generals.]
Yuan Ruan: [Hmm? Half-master? I remember that these two servants later went to Chen State and Chu State. Did Li Jiangling also defect?!]
System: [No. But the first battles of these two servants were against Li Jiangling. Li Jiangling was too calm, only defended and did not attack, and rarely pursued. These two servants were defeated by Li Jiangling in the early stage, but because Li Jiangling was too calm to attack, these two servants continued to besiege him. Because of their outstanding talents, they made rapid progress again and again, and finally defeated Li Jiangling, and then they retreated.]
Yuanruan: [Ah?]
Courtiers: Huh?
The system continued: [Afterwards, because the two servants had emerged and shone brightly, some people deliberately spread the story of their battle with Li Jiangling. As a result, people outside the Xia Kingdom all laughed at Li Jiangling for training war gods for the enemy. Because of this news, more and more young generals chose Li Jiangling as their first battle. These young generals even maintained a secret tacit understanding that if they defeated Li Jiangling, they would not kill the opponent and would just leave. Li Jiangling became depressed from fighting, and within three years, he completely stayed away from the battlefield.]
Yuanruan: […This, haha…It’s just like the gym leader in the Pokémon game, being challenged repeatedly by new players until you get the training badge. Haha, it’s a bit miserable.]
The onlookers were stunned at first: What is Pokémon?
But soon, they got a good idea from this melon.
——Li Jiangling can serve as an enlightenment and training person for the two book boys, and he can get started quickly.
After Yuan Ruan was brought back to the palace to rest, the emperor, the crown prince and Wu Yi held a small court meeting.
The emperor said, "Since Chen dares to join forces with the Xiongnu to attack Daxia. Wu Yi, give each of the two men a thousand men and tell them to lead the cavalry to raid Li Jiangling's station. Whoever breaks through the pass first can lead 10,000 cavalry to the west to attack the Xiongnu."
The prince's pupils shrank slightly. A sneak attack? Using Li Jiangling to train soldiers? How many casualties would there be!
Thinking of this, the prince said: "Father, since you are training the troops in advance, when can you inform General Li..."
The emperor said calmly, "Tell him that if he succeeds in defending it thirty times, I will reward him handsomely."
The prince could not help but bow and said, "Father, the sword has no eyes..."
"Your Majesty is wise, I will obey your orders." Wu Yi suddenly shouted and saluted.
This voice just happened to interrupt what the prince was about to say, and eased the tense atmosphere in the hall a little.
The emperor glanced at the two of them silently, and said abruptly: "A merciful army cannot be commanded. You haven't made any progress in all these years. You should learn from Wu Yi."
After saying this, the emperor waved his sleeves and left.
After the emperor's back disappeared, General Wu Yi stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness. Both sides know the situation. If the sharp blades are removed, the casualties will not be great. The other three countries have always been unwilling to give up their evil intentions towards Daxia. As more and more miracles of national destiny are achieved, they will definitely speed up the pace of invasion. War is imminent, but Daxia is hard to find generals, so I agree with Your Majesty."
The prince stood there in a daze, watching Wu Yi leave.
…
These days, Yuanruan sleeps until noon every day.
After getting up, she either lay in the seventh princess's arms and ate preserved fruits, or helped the second princess choose beautiful clothes.
It wasn't until she gained two kilograms that she realized she should move around.
On this day, Yuan Ruan woke up early for once, and happily asked the palace maid to take her to the dragon bed.
The moment the emperor woke up, Yuanruan approached and smiled at him.
The emperor looked at him with astonishment: …
Yuan Ruan laughed in his heart: [Tong'er, look at my brother's pupils, they have shrunk. He must be petrified with fear.]
System: [It’s so funny. He probably thinks you are innocent.]
The emperor's eyes twitched slightly, and he reached out and pinched Yuanruan's baby fat.
He deliberately said, "I got up early today. Are you willing to attend the morning class with me?"
Yuan Ruan shook his head frantically, uttering words one by one: "To, up, to."
The emperor pretended not to understand and deliberately mentioned a few of the old-fashioned teachers that Yuanruan was most afraid of. It was not until Yuanruan was so anxious that he uttered a "yay" sound that the emperor pretended to suddenly realize something and pinched Yuanruan's baby fat again.
"Go to court..."
The emperor originally planned to say "no" first and then tease Yuanruan for a while, but when he saw her two little hands hanging on his shoulders, her lower buttocks, which were originally kneeling on the bed, were also raised up, and her round eyes were looking at him brightly.
The emperor was touched by the cuteness: ...
"All right." The emperor picked up Yuan Ruan. "After I wash up and have breakfast, we will go."
Yuanruan shouted "Yeah" happily and hugged the emperor tightly.
Afterwards, the adult and the child had breakfast in harmony and arrived at the Golden Palace for court.
When the court officials saw the emperor coming in with the small country that had not been seen for a few days, their faces changed and there was a slight commotion in the team.
However, when Yuanruan heard the sound and looked over, the scene suddenly became silent.
The emperor placed Yuan Ruan next to him and signaled the court officials to present their reports.
Because the system likes to get off to a good start, the first person to submit a report will basically be rejected.
So the emperor thought that today would be the same as in the past, with the court officials remaining silent at first and passing the buck to each other, and finally the most anxious or the lowest-ranking person being the first to speak out.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Weining gave him a surprise.
Cheng Weining stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty. I have something to report. Recently, the Ministry of Works has continued to have craftsmen researching agricultural tools, but many nobles in the court have borrowed craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to build houses and have not returned them... Secondly, the drought in the northwest is still severe. I earnestly request Your Majesty to dispatch a logistics troop to the west for support... And then..."
Cheng Weining made three suggestions in a very proud manner.
The emperor and his courtiers were somewhat surprised.
Yuanruan: [Wow. A talented person works so hard. If he doesn't succeed, who will?]
System: [Look at this... Haha, there's nothing he can do even if he tries so hard. ]
Yuanruan looked up curiously: [What?! ]
The court officials all felt relieved. As expected, the first one to win the bid had the greatest chance of success.
Very good, other people’s melons.
You can eat it happily.
