Chapter 143 Secret Meeting
"Oh? What's your idea? Tell me about it." Yun Hongxiao asked with narrowed eyes.
"Father, the overall combat effectiveness of our Flame soldiers is relatively weak.
Compared with the Loulan people, our Flame people are shorter in stature, and we are really no match for the Loulan soldiers in terms of strength.
These disadvantages were very obvious in this defense against the enemy, and the 5,000 elite soldiers that I brought were trained by me personally, and their combat effectiveness is the strongest compared to other soldiers.
This shows that we can improve the combat effectiveness of our army through rigorous training, so I courageously ask you to return these 50,000 soldiers to me.
I plan to train well and strive to train an invincible army for Flame."
Yun Xinglu's words were sonorous and powerful, and made people's blood boil.
Many generals present also knew that the original 5,000 soldiers of Prince Lu were all brave and good at fighting, and they were indeed incomparable to other ordinary soldiers.
Yun Hongxiao looked at his adopted son kneeling in the center of the hall, his eyes a little absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Father?" Yun Xinglu saw that the emperor had been silent for a long time, and shouted.
Yun Hongxiao came back to his senses.
"Haha, my son is dedicated to the country and deserves praise. Okay, I will train you and give you one year to hand over an invincible army."
"Thank you, father, I will never let you down." Yun Xinglu changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees, and respectfully saluted Yun Hongxiao.
"Father, I am leaving 40,000 soldiers in Fuyang City in the northwest, and I have also left one of my former deputy generals to take charge temporarily. Before I left, I also told him to train the 40,000 soldiers into a strong army with strict discipline to fight ten enemies with one." Yun Xinglu stood up and continued.
"Well, you did a good job." Yun Hongxiao did not ask him to hand over the military power on the border.
That's how it was decided.
The queen looked at Yun Xinglu, who was excited, and then looked at the emperor beside her.
She didn't quite understand what the emperor meant.
Few people present were stupid.
Isn't the emperor afraid of future troubles by helping Prince Lu to gain power?
But no one said anything.
Yun Ran was also thinking: Is father raising a tiger?
Yun Ransheng also saw the problem at this time: Father trusts an adopted son so much, isn't he afraid that he will rebel against him one day? No, I have to prepare something, maybe I can make a great contribution. How far is the position of crown prince from me? The more he thought about it,
the more excited he became. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
And Chen Zhizhong's family was also present today. After listening to Yun Xinglu's words, he sighed in his heart. He couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. The military power of their Chen family was occupied by Prince Lu, and he couldn't have any opinion. Who made them father and son seriously injured by Lou Lan and lost the city. But he didn't lose heart. The emperor never blamed him, and his title of general was always there. Maybe the emperor has other arrangements. The banquet continued. Everyone stopped talking about business and started to enjoy the singing and dancing. Yun Ranqing came over again: "Sister Feng, I'll take you out to play." Feng Tianxing also thought it was boring. She was small and she was full quickly. The men drank slowly. Song Shuqing told him to take good care of Tianxing and let him go. Although there was an incident of falling into the water before, we should not be afraid of the well rope for ten years because of it. And it's not cold now. Yun Ranqing took Feng Tianxing to play in Yu Garden again, because there are several swings there. Usually some concubines come here to kill time. The two had a lot of fun. It was autumn, the time when fruits are ripe. There are also some fruit trees with fruits in Yu Garden. Yun Ranqing climbed up to pick them for Feng Tianxing. As he climbed higher, he actually saw several figures in the pavilion in the distance, one of whom looked particularly like his eldest brother. He picked the fruit and wiped it: "Here, sister Feng, see if it tastes good?" Feng Tianxing took it and took a bite. It was crunchy, sweet, and a little sour: "What kind of fruit is this?" She didn't know. "It seems to be called ginseng fruit?" Yun Ranqing was not sure. "You eat it too." Feng Tianxing was embarrassed to eat alone. "I just saw that it seemed to be my eldest brother talking to a girl on the opposite side." Yun Ranqing had a gossipy expression. Upon hearing this, Feng Tianxing's eyes lit up. "Let's go and take a look." The two little guys slowly approached, and then bent over from behind the pavilion. "Miss Chen San, your father must have his considerations for his decision today. General Chen has been guarding the border for so many years and has made many contributions and hardships. You go back and persuade him to think more positively. I estimate that your father will definitely have new arrangements." Yun Ran said to Chen Huizhen who was three steps away from him. Just now at the banquet, he always kept an eye on the Chen family. When he saw Chen Huizhen walking out of the hall with her sister, he also quietly retreated. He hadn't seen her since the last time he saw her in Feng Mansion. Later, he often thought of the scene that day, and he had a feeling that he wanted to get close to this girl. Today, she finally entered the palace, and of course she didn't want to miss the opportunity. "Thank you, His Royal Highness the First Prince, for your comfort." Chen Huizhen slightly bent her knees. "Your Highness, will there really be other arrangements?" Chen Huizhu asked cautiously. She saw that her father and elder brother were both frowning these days, and she felt very distressed. But as a girl, she had no way to deal with adults' affairs. "Probably." Yun Ran certainly didn't have accurate information. Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing hid behind the pavilion, listening to the people talking in the pavilion. At this time, Feng Yuanhan came over from the other end of the road. "Hey, eldest prince, Sister Chen San. Are you also taking a breath here?" Feng Yuanhan deliberately didn't call Chen Huizhu. Sure enough, the next moment: "Feng Yuanhan, are you blind? Can't you see that I'm so big? Why don't you call me Sister Chen Si?"
"You are only two months older than me, what fourth sister? It's more appropriate to call you Chen Si."
"You are asking for a fight." Then Chen Huizhu left her sister behind, walked out of the pavilion in a few steps, chased Feng Yuanhan, and then the two ran farther and farther.
Chen Huizhen was embarrassed, blushing and looking at Yun Ranzheng. It would not have a good influence for a man and a woman to be together in the palace.
In fact, both of them ignored Yun Ranzheng's attendant eunuch, who was standing outside the pavilion.
"Miss Chen San, has your family promised you another family?" Yun Ranzheng asked a little embarrassedly.
This question made Chen Huizhen even more embarrassed, but why did she feel sweet in her heart.
"Not yet... not yet. I'm a widow, and many families are wary of me. And he's been gone for less than half a year, so it's not appropriate to talk about marriage now." Chen Huizhen answered truthfully. "
Do you have him in your heart?" Yun Ranzheng asked further, and felt embarrassed to ask, but he didn't regret it.
"That's the family my father arranged for me. I heard that he is a brave young general who kills enemies, and I haven't even seen him."
"Oh..." Yun Ranzheng felt relieved after hearing this.
If you haven't seen him, naturally there is no affection.
Feng Tianxing, who was hiding aside, was sure of it when she heard this.
The eldest prince really likes Sister Chen San, but how can the two of them be together smoothly? She really wants to help them.
With the eyes of the Queen's aunt, she must look down on Sister Chen San.
