Chapter 67: Meeting on a Narrow Road, Even if Defeated, Still Honored



"I am going to deliver some fruit to the young uncle today."

"As soon as I entered the Imperial Camp, I found the young uncle and Commander Lin arguing about something."

"When I got closer and listened, I found out that it was because of a disagreement on military strategy." Qiao'er said respectfully from the side.

Matters of military strategy?

Wei Yunyi fell into deep thought after hearing this.

That’s right, Lin Chong also came from the army, so he can naturally say something about this.

But he didn't understand why his brother-in-law started arguing with the other party.

Moreover, Lin Chong was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp.

After serving in the army for decades, he should not be too inexperienced.

Without giving it much thought, he continued, "What are they both arguing about?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened, but I heard Commander Lin say that a general should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, eat and sleep with them, so that they can unite their hearts and boost morale." said the palace maid Qiao'er.

This is true. By not seeking special treatment and getting close to the grassroots soldiers, we can indeed train an elite army.

Wei Yunyi agreed with Lin Chong's point of view, and then asked, "What does the young uncle say?"

"The young prince said that if the war cannot be won, even if he shares the hardships with the soldiers every day and treats them as his own sons and nephews, he will still be an incompetent general who only knows how to do superficial work. In the end, his soldiers will lose their lives in vain. Commander Lin was furious at the time." After saying this, the palace maid Qiao'er immediately lowered her head.

Beside her, the queen also kept shaking her head, looking very unwell.

As for Wei Yunyi, he opened his mouth, not knowing how to start.

Because he knows very well.

In his early years, Lin Chong worked under the Marquis of Shenwu and had great respect for him.

As everyone knows, Marquis Shenwu is famous in the Wei army for loving his soldiers like his own sons and being compassionate to the soldiers and generals.

The brother-in-law's words can be understood as directly saying that this old marquis with outstanding achievements can only do superficial work.

Although, he probably didn't mean that.

But it was in Lin Chong's ears.

The taste has definitely changed.

This brother-in-law is so arrogant.

Wei Yunyi was speechless immediately and continued, "What happened next?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, then...then, the young uncle and Commander Lin were about to fight. I didn't dare to persuade them, so I hurried to report to the Queen." Qiao'er said.

Well, I still don’t know the reason for the fight.

never mind.

Ask again when the time comes.

Wei Yunyi waved his hand and signaled everyone to move on.

Not long after, after passing through a tall palace gate, they arrived at the Imperial Camp.

It is surrounded by thick palace walls, below which stands the camp where the imperial guards are stationed, and in the middle there is a spacious martial arts square.

Next to it were rows of wooden racks for weapons, containing swords, spears, halberds, bows, and so on. In the sunlight, they gleamed with a cold gleam. It was obvious that these weapons were used by the imperial guards for daily training.

Looking up, I saw hundreds of imperial guards gathered in a circle in the middle of the square, and shouts could be heard from time to time.

In the center of the crowd, you can still feel the energy and blood of martial arts.

Seeing this, Wei Yunyi didn't say anything, but just raised his hand.

The eunuch Xiao Lizi understood what he meant and walked forward to speak.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen has arrived!"

His voice just fell.

All the imperial guards in the martial arts square turned around almost at the same time.

When they saw Wei Yunyi on the dragon chariot and Song Youwei beside him, they were all shocked.

Without any hesitation, everyone hurried forward, trotting to the front, and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, and the Queen."

At the very back, the young uncle-in-law Song Hongzhi was also hunched over, looking a little dusty.

It seems like a disadvantage.

Next to him was a middle-aged man in armor.

The man was very imposing, with a faint murderous aura surging from him.

This is the momentum developed through years of fighting on the battlefield, and it is the result of real bloody battles.

The man was naturally the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Camp, Lin Chong.

"Fight, why don't you fight?"

Wei Yunyi still sat on the dragon chariot and asked softly.

"I am guilty, Your Majesty, please punish me!" Lin Chong immediately knelt down and knocked his head directly to the ground.

Wei Yunyi had some feelings towards the commander of the Imperial Front Camp. In the original novel, he was loyal and swore to defend the emperor until his death. Even when the original owner started to target the Marquis of Shenwu, he made clear his position and his loyalty to the emperor and his country.

He was the kind of loyal minister who would immediately draw his sword and commit suicide if the emperor wanted him dead.

This is the fundamental reason why the late emperor wanted to transfer him here.

The Imperial Camp guards the imperial palace and protects the emperor.

You must be extremely loyal to the emperor.

"Forget it, this matter is not caused by you. Take your people and do your thing." Wei Yunyi waved his hand.

Of course, Lin Chong would not punish him because there was no need.

The reason why the two of them fought,

Isn’t it because my brother-in-law is too arrogant?

If it were a wise ruler, he would definitely punish them.

But he...

The more I think my brother-in-law is, the more talented he is. At least when it comes to ruining the country's destiny.

It’s just as the rumors say.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Lin Chong received the order and stood up and bowed again.

He then ordered the imperial guards to perform their duties and not to linger.

"Emperor..."

At this time, the young prince was about to speak.

Empress Song Youwei immediately stepped out and sternly rebuked him, "Song Hongzhi, what are you trying to do to make excuses in front of His Majesty? Come over here and apologize!"

It’s over, sister called her by her full name!

Song Hongzhi shuddered immediately and hung his head.
