Chapter 09
Their eyes met, Xiao Huan calmly looked away and asked someone to prepare a tent for Xie Ling. It would take a whole day to patrol the camp outside Beijing. According to Xie Ling's useless physique, he would probably not be able to bear it in the afternoon if he slept in the open air.
He also wanted to finish reading today's update, and before that, nothing could happen to Xie Ling.
The eunuch beside him obeyed the order and immediately made arrangements.
Only after sitting in the tent and drinking a cup of hot tea did Xie Ling heave a long sigh of relief.
"I'm recovering."
The eunuch who felt that His Majesty's life was not as comfortable as his: ...
"Master Xie, do you need anything else?"
“No, no, no.” Xie Ling waved his hands quickly. He was not used to the eunuchs around Emperor Wu being so polite to him, and... his expression was strange for a moment.
The back of his butt should be bruised by now, but there was no way he could possibly say such a thing out loud.
Never mind. It doesn’t hurt anyway, so I might as well pretend I don’t know.
The eunuch had no idea that someone's skin could be so tender, and he felt relieved to see that Master Xie was indeed fine.
Xiao Huan went outside and left a lot of people here for Xie Ling. After all, Xie Ling was abnormal. Xiao Huan usually equipped a few eagle guards in the dark and the imperial guards in the light. Xie Ling couldn't get out even if he wanted to.
After drinking the tea, Xianyu, who felt calmer, cautiously stuck his head out, wanting to take a look at the ancient army outside the tent.
But when he stretched his head out, he was frightened by the solemn atmosphere outside. He looked up and could hardly see the end. All he could see were soldiers. Xie Ling couldn't tell their ranks, but even so, he felt the pressure at this moment.
On the high platform, the emperor in armor stood there, standing out from the crowd.
Xie Ling took a look and realized that this side could not be seen from that direction, so he continued to appreciate it with peace of mind, screaming and complaining in his heart.
"I rely on the system. It's rare to see it in life. It would be great if you had a screen recording function."
“This is too shocking!”
To be honest, the soldiers had all seen blood, and ordinary people would be shocked at a glance, especially those tiger-like eyes that were filled with murderous intent, but Xiao Huan managed to suppress these arrogant and brave generals.
As long as he stood there, no general dared to act rashly.
Xie Ling felt that none of the emperors before Da Gan had such deterrent power, only Xiao Huan had it.
Is this the aura of an emperor that our ancestors talked about as being unique to him who holds absolute power and has the power of life and death?
Xie Ling suddenly felt that the loss of face he had just suffered in front of Xiao Huan was nothing.
Who is this?
This is Emperor Gan Wu! Isn't it normal that he can't beat him?
Under the shock of the big guy, he quickly calmed down and watched it for a long time with great interest. He discussed this famous "Tiger Wolf Rider" with the system for a while, and returned to the tent when the wind started to blow, still unsatisfied.
As soon as Xie Ling got back, he sneezed.
Damn, the temperature difference in the suburbs of Beijing is quite big.
system:……
"You thought it was your modern times, when the city and the suburbs were almost the same."
In ancient times, there was a big difference between the inside and outside of the city.
Xie Ling nodded in agreement. Perhaps because he was too excited after seeing the Tiger and Wolf Cavalry just now, he actually had the urge to update an additional 3,000 words.
Well, opportunities are rare and will never come back. If you miss it, you will be paralyzed. It is rare for Xianyu to accept his own diligence. He sat upright and asked the system to connect him to the Internet. Then he immediately sat on the chair, took out a "book" and started to update the novel with a serious expression.
…
Xiao Huan had just finished reviewing the training of the Tiger and Wolf Cavalry. He took a sip of the water and then thought of Xie Ling, whom he brought out, so he asked casually. He found out that Xie Ling was reviewing scriptures at the moment.
Xiao Huan paused.
"Are you sure?"
Is he so self-aware?
Weren't you so weak that you couldn't get up just now? Are you fine now?
Seeing His Majesty's doubts, Wang Bao was actually a little bit unconvinced, but the fact was - Master Xie did take the initiative to ask for the book and was reviewing it seriously at the moment.
Wang Bao thought for a moment and tried to flatter the dragon: "Perhaps Master Xie was inspired by the bravery of the Tiger and Wolf Cavalry today and wanted to study hard to pass the imperial examination to repay your majesty's kindness?"
Xiao Huan: ...
Do you believe this?
Thinking of Xie Ling's performance in the past few days, Wang Bao hesitated after he finished speaking.
But no matter what, it’s a good thing that Xie Ling is updating.
Xiao Huan put down his water cup and did not pass the meal over, but ate with the soldiers. He always believed that the best way to deal with a brave army was to become a wolf like them. Although Xiao Huan was the emperor, he had been on the battlefield before. When he was the crown prince, he was appointed as a general to fight against the Xiongnu.
Later, he personally fought in several battles to recapture Dayan. Therefore, even though this group of tiger-wolf cavalry were extremely unruly and did not give face to any officials in the court, they were still convinced by Xiao Huan.
After all, this Majesty is the one they truly recognize.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to Xie Ling.
On the other hand, Xie Ling kept writing until the afternoon before stopping as he felt unsatisfied.
The system was just surprised that there was still a day for the salted fish to turn things around, but the next second it was choked by Xie Ling's quick jump.
"Damn, damn, I'm so hungry, so hungry."
Xie Ling submitted an update and immediately picked up a piece of cake to fill his stomach. Because they were outside the palace, the food was not so good, and most of the eunuchs brought with them were things that were easy to preserve, such as tea, soup, and cakes.
Xie Ling was so absorbed in writing the novel that he forgot the time and ate several pieces of cakes before he satisfied his hunger.
To outsiders, it seemed that Master Xie was almost fainting from hunger from studying so hard, which was truly touching. The eunuch was secretly moved, thinking that Master Xie was not so unlearned.
Of course, if Mr. Xie could not collapse instantly after eating and feel that all his energy for the whole day was used up.
System: ...The attempt to turn things around failed!
It said faintly: "Xiao Huan came with you, and he is still riding a horse now."
Xie Ling: Awesome.
I don't know how long I was paralyzed. Noisy sounds began to be heard outside the tent. Xie Ling originally wanted to take a nap, but maybe because his brain was too active at that time, he couldn't fall asleep at this time. Now, listening to the cheers outside, he had to get up.
"What's going on outside?"
He and the eunuch lifted the curtain and heard a deafening sound coming from the hilltop several hundred meters away.
"Thank you, Master. How about we go over and take a look?"
The eunuch saw that Mr. Xie had been sitting for too long and was worried that he would not be able to bear the ride in the carriage on the way back, so he made a suggestion.
Xie Ling thought about it and was a little curious. It would be fine to take a look since he couldn't sleep. It would prevent the system from calling him lazy. The two of them climbed up the hill and saw the horse farm below.
Xiao Huan was riding and shooting from the east, the Ferghana horse was bright and eye-catching, and the young man on the horse was even more vigorous. Xiao Huan saw Xie Ling coming out from afar, and thought that this man had finished writing the update seriously today, so he didn't embarrass him anymore.
Seeing Xie Ling looking at the flying horse under his mount with "envy", he raised his eyebrows.
"Go pick him a horse."
As the son of a military hero, how could he be so weak?
How can I go to the battlefield in the future?
After giving the order, Emperor Wu had a blank expression on his face. After a while, Xie Ling, who was waving flags and cheering on the top of the hill, saw the imperial guards leading a medium-sized reddish-brown horse towards him not far away.
They were the only two people standing on the hillside, and Xie Ling suddenly had a bad feeling.
Wait, this isn't for him?
After coming over, the imperial guard bowed his head and saluted, then said with a smile: "Thank you, Master. Instead of watching from the top of the mountain, why don't you run with us and relax a bit?"
"You looked at it for a long time and even His Majesty was alarmed."
Xie Ling: ...Ah, when did he alarm His Majesty? That's not what he meant!
He just thought Xiao Huan looked very handsome when he rode, but he definitely had no intention of trying it himself. Xie Ling was very clear about his own abilities.
He doesn't, wait a minute. According to this body's muscle memory, he seems to know a little bit.
Could it be that Emperor Wu was testing him?
After thinking about the words of rejection, Xie Ling put on a hypocritical smile in an instant.
"No need, Commander Zhang, I'll just watch from here."
"Just ride and don't worry about me."
The deputy commander of the imperial guards shook his head and smiled, but his tone was helpless.
"Your Majesty asked you to ride it."
Xie Ling: ...Okay, okay, he knows it.
If I risk my life for a gentleman, can't he just ride on me?
After mumbling to the system for a long time, Xie Ling gritted his teeth and took the horse from Commander Zhang. The system secretly broke into a cold sweat for him.
Not far away, Xiao Huan, who was shooting with a bow, also stopped and looked over here. With Emperor Wu's eyesight, he could still see clearly even from such a distance.
Xie Ling recalled the feeling in his body, and under the systematic explanation, he looked relaxed, pretending to easily step on the stirrup and flip over. As soon as he raised his leg, Xie Ling sighed that fortunately his buttocks didn't hurt, otherwise he would have to do a split on the spot.
In full view of everyone, Xie Ling's riding skills perfectly matched those of his original self. Fortunately, his original self was also a half-baked rider, so he didn't reveal his true identity halfway.
Xie Ling thought so, but he didn't know that after reading his updated novel, he had already provided Xiao Huan with a new direction of suspicion.
For example, the young medical officer was able to reload the game, so could this "Xie Ling" have a similar experience? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the golden light on his head and the subtle differences between the recent observation and the original one.
However, no matter what Xie Ling's background was, he would not deal with Xie Ling until he finished reading this novel.
When Xiao Huan thought of the way the book described returning to the starting point, his mouth twitched.
By the way, Xie Ling has already finished writing it. Well, when he goes back later, he wants to see what result the medical officer will come up with after another consultation.
In the evening, Xie Ling rubbed his sore waist from riding a horse, and once again rode with the emperor. Reasonably, Xie Ling knew that Emperor Wu had already suspected him, and he should be more careful in what he said and did.
But his body...his body really couldn't hold on any longer.
Very good, this time Xie Ling wanted to scold himself even without the system saying anything: Xie Ling, you are such a loser!
His rapidly deteriorating body did not allow him to show off. The useless otaku had been running back and forth all day and had even ridden a horse on the way back. But now he could not bear it any longer and could not help dozing off as soon as he got into the carriage.
I opened my eyes three seconds later and broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Huan: ...Am I that scary?
This time he did not think Xie Ling was useless. After Xie Ling closed his eyes and opened them for the third time, he paused and signaled the eunuch to bring him something to lean on.
"Go to sleep if you want, don't hurt my eyes!"
In a daze, Xie Ling only heard that he should sleep. When he lost consciousness, he thought: No matter what, this sleep is worth it!
After a while, the system finished reviewing the accumulated memorials. It watched Xiao Huan start to read the novel skillfully, holding a book in his hand and turning a page from time to time.
A system that knows the other person's entire schedule for the day: ...
Iron man!
What an iron man!
Xiao Huan quickly skipped over the title and read on: "Hahahaha, I'm crying with joy, crying with joy. The author of this post is reborn!"
"You didn't expect that the host could come back again, you guys just wait and see!"
"This time, the OP was at the end of the queue again, but after the baptism of death, the OP has calmed down now. I don't believe that he will be as confused as last time and doubt that he misdiagnosed."
"The hall was terribly quiet. After waiting and waiting, it was finally the host's turn to step forward."
"This time, the host held his breath and listened carefully to the pulse under his hand."
"Believe in yourself, you can do it!"
"One, two, three... finally, finally!"
"The host has revealed it - this is f*cking erysipelas!"
"This time the host made it very clear and there is no way he could have made a mistake."
——"Now, the pressure is on the emperor: Does he believe it or not?"
Xiao Huan:……!!!
