When he went out, he saw two deputy generals standing together and enthusiastically discussing how to show their power. He Xiong suddenly felt a little evil.
As border guards, they were no match for the weaklings defending the city walls. They saw blood on their sabers year after year, but that was pretty much it. Therefore, from top to bottom, almost everyone in the army was tough and proud.
The Sixth Prince wanted to subdue the border troops and get this great help, so he naturally had to show his abilities. Otherwise, even if the general decided to support him, I'm afraid all the soldiers in the camp would have doubts in their hearts.
If the Sixth Prince was truly frightened and as embarrassed as the Third Prince, he would probably not have the face to ask the General for support...
In this way, with the tacit approval of the general and the promotion of He Xiong's evil intention, the border defense troops were busy preparing to show their strength.
On this day, the Sixth Prince and Lord Wu finally led their men to the border.
He Xiong personally led people to the city gate to greet them, and he and the Sixth Prince pretended to be meeting for the first time.
He Xiong was the first to bow and apologize, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being late in welcoming you!"
The Sixth Prince personally helped him up and said politely, "General, you are too kind. It is my sudden arrival that has delayed you and your soldiers from the battle!"
He Xiong quickly responded, "Because when His Royal Highness the Third Prince came over earlier, our camp was not prepared and accidentally frightened His Royal Highness the Third Prince. The general and all the soldiers in the camp felt guilty and terrified. This time, knowing that the emperor had replaced His Royal Highness with you, the camp had already made arrangements.
"The horse bandits and the yellow-haired Russians on the grasslands have been almost wiped out. They dare not run wild at the border for a while. I hope Your Highness can rest assured."
Elder Wu was delighted to hear this. He and his entire family had placed their hopes on the Sixth Prince. If anything happened to the Sixth Prince, all their efforts would be wasted. Therefore, he offered sincere praise.
He Xiong greeted him again, exchanged some polite words, and finally headed towards the camp.
When they were three or four miles outside the camp, He Xiong pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Your Highness, there are many secrets in the army that cannot be exposed casually. Therefore, I have to ask the guards you brought with you to camp here. I will accompany you and Lord Wu into the camp, you see..."
Lord Wu frowned at the time, and when he was about to speak, the Sixth Prince had already nodded, "Okay, since we are here, we must abide by the rules here."
After saying this, he ordered the guards who were accompanying him to stay and set up camp.
Of course, it was impossible for a prince to be completely unattended. So when entering the military camp, He Xiong accompanied the Sixth Prince and Lord Wu in front, followed by two cold-faced guards.
In the camp, the soldiers were patrolling as they should be, training as they should be, the killing was deafening, and there was a certain solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Lord Wu is old, and he is almost half buried in the ground, but walking in such a cruel place, he still feels weak in the legs.
The Sixth Prince, on the other hand, looked as usual, and even chatted and laughed with He Xiong without showing any fear at all.
This made He Xiong admire him even more...
But the "gift" that has been prepared still needs to be given!
When they were just approaching the commander's tent, someone suddenly started shouting and the footsteps rumbled in a hurried manner.
Lord Wu subconsciously moved closer to the Sixth Prince. Before he could ask anything, seven or eight prairie wolves appeared in the distance.
Perhaps they had already experienced a fierce battle, as several wolves were covered in blood, clearly injured. This only aroused their ferocity, and they rushed towards the Sixth Prince and his companions with glaring eyes and bloody mouths!
However, the team of soldiers chasing after the wolves moved slowly, shouting loudly and waving their sabers, but they just couldn't reach the wolves. Instead, they seemed to be trying to drive them away.
Lord Wu could no longer hold on and was about to fall down with his legs limp. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince pulled him up and threw him behind him.
The two guards also reacted quickly, rushing in front of the Sixth Prince, drawing their swords and charging forward.
The wolves were blocked from escaping and became more angry and ferocious. They jumped up and bit the guards' necks with their big mouths!
Lord Wu's eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.
The Sixth Prince, however, had a sullen face and also quickly drew his sword, fighting side by side with the two guards.
Three people faced eight prairie wolves, and each person had to deal with two or three on average. Even though the Sixth Prince and his two guards were very capable, they were still somewhat overwhelmed.
But soon the master and his servants calmed down, cooperated with each other, and became each other's arms.
In the end, the two guards were slightly injured, and the Sixth Prince was also clawed on the arm, but the eight wolves were all dead, lying in front of the general's tent, with blood all over the ground and the smell of blood in the air!
The soldiers who had heard the noise and had come to watch the excitement looked at the dead wolves on the ground, the two silent guards, and the Sixth Prince who had bleeding arms but didn't even frown, and suddenly felt that their show of force was stupid.
And the nobles in Kyoto, or the emperor's sons, are not all useless. There is such an outstanding one!
Some rough guy suddenly said, "I was wrong. The emperor's sons are also capable. They are not all weaklings!"
He Xiong glared at the man fiercely, then coughed dryly and stepped forward to salute and apologize to the Sixth Prince.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry to frighten you. This was captured by the soldiers from the grassland a few days ago. We originally planned to skin it and give it to Your Highness as a gift. But we didn't expect these guys to be so careless and let the wolves escape and cause trouble! Fortunately, Your Highness is brave, otherwise I would be blamed for this today!"
The Sixth Prince wiped the blood off his arm, put away his sword with a clang, and smiled indifferently.
"General, whatever you say is correct. However, regardless of the cause, my guards have been injured. Please call the military doctors to treat them properly. They are all loyal and brave men who follow me. I do not wish them to be harmed."
"Also, Lord Wu is the director of the Imperial Observatory, an official appointed by the imperial court. He is old and has suffered a fright, so he also needs proper medical treatment and rest."
"Of course, of course!" He Xiong quickly nodded in agreement, then shouted to the soldiers, "Come and help, it's all your fault!"
The soldiers and generals were all embarrassed, and quickly stepped forward to help clean up the wolf corpses, and carried Lord Wu to the nearby tent for treatment.
The two guards were reluctant to leave the Sixth Prince's side, but the Sixth Prince said, "Go and treat your injuries and come back. I believe that by now, Your Highness is qualified to see the General."
As soon as he finished speaking, two soldiers opened the tent curtain and the general came out.
The general looked at everyone and asked in surprise, "Since His Highness the Sixth Prince has arrived at the door, why don't you welcome him in?"
He Xiong complained in his heart that the old ones are the wisest and the general’s acting skills are the most perfect. It’s not embarrassing at all!
But he didn't dare to say it. He quickly nodded to apologize, then smiled and made way for the Sixth Prince.
"Your Highness, please come in. Our general has been waiting for a long time."
The Sixth Prince smiled and walked in.
His arms were only scratched a few times by the wolf's claws, but the wounds were quite deep. Blood dripped down as he walked, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.
The general followed behind, and seeing this, the light in his eyes gradually brightened...
