After seeing off the two troublesome people, Lin Xiao finally sat down to catch his breath and chuckled softly.
He had no intention of not going to the war; only in this way could he find out whether General Fu, whom he had met several times, liked him or not.
He snapped his fingers, summoning his guards from the darkness, and gave them instructions.
"Come out, I have something to tell you."
The man was dressed in the uniform of a bodyguard, and his clothes were somewhat dusty. He must have recently returned from a mission, as he was kneeling on one knee.
"emperor?"
"Go and spread the word tonight that I am going to participate in the border war in Bianzhaoyue."
"He wanted to attack me because of our previous disagreement. I had no choice but to accept the challenge."
Ye Hua lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Xiao. He was just a beggar he had picked up, and when Lin Xiao met him, he was still in tatters.
But he didn't look down on him. At first, he thought he was a volatile and cold-blooded king, but he found out he wasn't.
In truth, Lin Xiao is kind to everyone, but he's even kinder to those he cares about, even if they might mistreat him. He treats them with utmost kindness, making it hard for them to bear seeing him go to the battlefield.
After all, these are weapons that cannot be seen with their own eyes...
"Your Majesty... Your subordinate obeys the decree."
Overnight, everyone received news that the newly enthroned emperor would take the place of the old generals and lead an expedition against the Zhaoyue Kingdom.
Suddenly, opinions differed...
morning.
The man glanced indifferently at the pile of memorials on the table. He knew they had been delivered overnight, but he didn't even look at them.
He walked straight into the imperial court, ready to face the wrath of those old fogies...
"Attend court."
All the civil and military officials kowtowed to Lin Xiao, saying, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"All my beloved ministers, rise. If you have something to say, speak now; otherwise, the court may adjourn."
Xu Dage, who had been holding back for a while, finally spoke up, because she was the only woman in an official position. She was also Lin Xiao's friend, and seeing his recklessness, she wanted to kindly remind him.
"Your Majesty, the battlefield is a place of unseen weapons and bloodshed. You are the supreme ruler, the Emperor. How could you do such a thing!"
Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't react, Xu Yu became anxious and blinked at Fu Lingtian.
"General Fu, why aren't you speaking up for me? Look at how recklessly the Emperor is behaving!"
Lin Xiao, neither warm nor cold, posed a question, "So, if I don't go, will Commander Xu go in my place? I remember you were assigned to guard another place, weren't you?"
"Or perhaps, General Fu, would you have time to help me?" She deliberately raised a flirtatious eyebrow and smiled, as if she were challenging Fu Lingtian's bottom line.
He already knows the basic premise of this world, so all he has to do is flirt with him, flirt with him, and flirt with him some more. Don't overthink it.
Fu Lingtian turned his head away, feeling somewhat dazed by his gaze. He had always said he didn't like him, but other feelings still lingered, which put him in a difficult position.
"Your Majesty, I will go in your place. My deputy general has just returned and can take my place."
"No need. General Fu is extremely busy with state affairs, and he also has a wife at home. How could I possibly ask you to go? I..."
"I never imagined that I, Your Majesty, would witness your courage and wisdom today. I have only known Your Majesty for a short time."
"But I know that you are a wise and compassionate ruler, not a foolish one. You understand His Majesty's intentions, so I will explain this here."
"Accompanying the Emperor to fight in the war, that should put your minds at ease, right?"
