Chapter 171: Profits first, but narrow-minded
General Shenwu's Mansion.
The great general Shenwu warned his son, "Zer, this time you are able to escort the grain, the task is important and difficult.
You must be more careful and never make any mistakes.
Also, the emperor will definitely send someone to supervise the army, and you can't have a conflict with him for the sake of your reputation.
As long as you hold the real power in your own hands, no matter what others say or do, right?
"Okay, father, I understand, I will not let you down.
Father will surely return victorious, and the Emperor will surely reward him, and he will surely be promoted to a higher rank."
“We’ll talk about this later. Your father is already a general, so I’m afraid I can’t get promoted right now.
As long as the Emperor doesn't degrade himself to a father, it's good enough. Don't you understand our Emperor?"
"He is petty and overly dependent on the Grand Tutor, and his purpose may not be that simple.
Otherwise, how could the Song family have another queen? It's really Sima Zhao's intention."
"Father, be careful with your words. There are ears on the other side of the wall."
"What are you afraid of? This is my own house. I don't know who dares to betray me.
And Yunhao, you have to learn well from your brother.
You two brothers are from the same mother, so you must help each other.
We must be friendly and respectful to each other, and absolutely not engage in internal strife, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lin Yunhao: "Dad, don't worry, my two brothers will definitely join forces to take our Lin family to the next level.
Well, as a father, I am very pleased that you two brothers can help each other.
Of course, there are also your two younger sisters. As their brothers, you should help them in any way you can.
No matter what happens, we are still a family, and when something happens, it is always our family members who rush to the front."
"Don't think that your sister will belong to someone else's family or be married off when she grows up.
It is wrong to think like this. Put yourself in their shoes. If your wife’s brothers treat her badly in the future, they will think that she is a married daughter and ignore her.
But whenever there is something, they ask you for help. What do you think is going on in your mind?"
“Dad, we know that our two sisters are still young, although they are a little willful.
At least she has good character and can be taught well now. How could her parents and brother possibly harm her?"
"Okay, hurry up and get ready! Be sure to bring the secret guards from the mansion with you."
"I'm afraid the world is going to be in chaos, so we have to make all preparations.
There are no outsiders here, so I want to ask you two, if the world really falls into chaos, who would you support as the next emperor?"
Two brothers, you look at me and I look at you.
These two people are very good-looking like their mother, with red lips, white teeth, and beautiful eyes.
He doesn't have the wildness of a great general, and looks like a weak scholar.
But how could these two brothers, who grew up in a military family, not have any kung fu skills?
Although he is not a top master who can fly over rooftops and walls, his kung fu skills are definitely not bad.
On the day when the army was to set out, the great general Shenwu came to the parade ground to inspect the troops.
Deputy Generals Zhao Dekai, Wang Yuanshan, and Song Dingbang also put on armor.
They can finally show their skills. This time, with an army of 300,000, they will definitely be able to recapture the border.
The border is a fortress. If the border is breached, the city will be lost.
Once the city is lost, the consequences will be disastrous, especially women will become captives, and of course children as well.
Those who are pretty will be favored by the leader, and those who are not pretty will be reduced to slaves.
They do the hardest, dirtiest and most tiring work, but even having enough to eat has become a luxury.
If you have children, they will use them as a threat, and you can't die even if you want to.
Moreover, these people would deliberately abuse these people as if they were in a fire.
The purpose is to provoke a war. If you take action first, others will have an excuse.
When the army set out, all the people lined the streets to see them off.
Only then did they realize that war was going to happen again. The people's wishes were actually very simple.
Be able to eat well, dress warmly and live a stable life.
So they were particularly worried about what would happen to them in the future if they lost the war.
Many people thought that the King of War would lead the troops to war, because in the hearts of the people, the King of War was their backbone.
Only the War King can protect the safety of their people.
The army set out with great fanfare, including the mighty general, several lieutenant generals, and vanguards, all riding on tall horses.
Wearing protective armor makes one look particularly majestic, some people shouted loudly.
"General, General, you must win the battle.
We ordinary people are counting on you, General, you must win the battle!"
Lin Jinye waved his hand.
"Everyone, rest assured, as long as I, Lin, am here, those ambitious people will never dare to set foot in Longyuan's territory.
Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, General. I wish you a speedy and triumphant return."
Although there are a lot of people, they will not block the way to the expedition.
A path was left for the army to set out.
The news of the army's departure was also remembered and seen by the spies passing by, who were ready to report it to their masters.
But all this cannot escape the eyes of the secret guards. If they want to pass the message out, they have to ask our consent.
Do you really think we're dead? Do you really think we were incompetent in being able to pass on the message before?
Ha! That’s because our prince and princess want to play the long game and catch a bigger fish.
Just scattering fish, you really think you are capable.
Bah! Stupid thing.
War Palace.
The military advisor, deputy general, guard captain, An Yi, and Ye Shiyang were all in the study discussing the next plan.
The military advisor habitually took up his feather fan and began to shake it continuously.
Ye Shiyang: "Hey, Lao Kang! It's not hot now, why do you have to wave that broken fan of yours?
I find it very annoying and looks like I deserve a beating."
Kang Muhua: "That's because you have a problem with your eyesight. If you don't like it, you can pretend to be blind. Aren't you a miracle doctor? You can also prescribe some medicine for yourself."
"You...you, oh my, Lao Kang, when did you become so cruel? You look like you're unsatisfied."
"Puff."
Nangong Xue suddenly laughed.
Ye Shiyang was a little embarrassed and suddenly forgot that the princess was still here.
Dongfang Cheng glanced over and Ye Shiyang started to stutter when he spoke.
"That...that one."
"It's okay, it's okay, you guys continue, where were we just now?"
"Princess, we were just talking about the poisoning."
An Yi is particularly servile.
"Oh, it seems the other side also has someone who knows poison very well. This is the plague, and they want to cause panic.
The plague is contagious. You think that by then the people and soldiers of Longyuan will die in large numbers?
What will happen? Everyone will be extremely worried, and the wealthy will spend all their savings to find the world's most famous doctors just to stay alive."
