Although it is a good thing to have fewer rivals, the situation in front of them is still a bit tricky.
Lin Jiangdong regained his composure, and reported the rest of the information he had inquired, "My lord, we can't be too happy, your majesty asked Xiao Ran to lead an army of 200,000 people to deal with King Ying, just give them a little time. If the three armies are rectified, and when hundreds of thousands of troops are sent to deal with the King of England, I am afraid that even the King of England, no matter how brave and good at fighting, will not be able to win."
Xiao Hou was not in a hurry at all, he said lightly, "Do you think the three armies are so easy to clean up?"
"That's true." Lin Jiangdong nodded.
"This period of time is enough. If it still doesn't work, then we can only blame us for not being as good as others."
Xiao Hou chuckled lightly, and then continued, "Since the imperial brother has reinforcements, we will withdraw our people. This king still needs to employ people."
"Your Highness is right. I heard that many of those who led an army of 100,000 were heroic soldiers who had followed the King of England from birth to death."
Lin Jiangdong responded. When King Ying broke out of the palace before, the prince was worried that he would be outnumbered and sent someone to protect him secretly.
"Oh, so, the military generals who had been with the eldest brother in the past have now given up their official positions to follow him?"
"Yes."
The corners of Xiao Hou's mouth were slightly raised, and he was in a very happy mood. He couldn't help but explain, "Continue to inquire about the news in the palace. If there is any trouble, come and report it."
Now it is not only a prince who rebels, but also those generals who have made great achievements for Xixuan have also abandoned the court. I think the father and emperor should be so angry that even his liver hurts now.
Seeing that the prince mentioned the palace, Lin Jiangdong remembered something, "Your Majesty has been sick recently, and the queen's freedom has been restricted again. Now the harem is under the control of Concubine Yue, and informants come to report. There has been a change in the imperial doctor, and the old lady doctor who used to diagnose His Majesty's pulse has returned to his hometown."
This matter sounded irrelevant, Xiao Hou thought for a while quietly, then raised his brows slightly, raised his hand to touch his chin, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "This king is thinking, the father emperor is not in good health, as the son of this king, Should I go to the palace to visit?"
"Your Majesty is such a filial person, and he should be filial to His Majesty." Lin Jiangdong followed his words, but smiled coldly.
Xiao Hou put down his hands and stood up, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Sir is right, this king should go and see what his father, who has been hit by a series of recent events, looks like now."
He is tortured by hatred, how can the culprit for all this go unpunished
He couldn't wait to see what the faces of those who were harmed by his stubbornness would look like.
"Go and make arrangements, tomorrow the king of Japan is going to enter the palace."
"Yes."
The summer wind rustled through the mountains and forests, and from time to time a flock of mountain birds fluttered high from the lush leaves.
In the endless plains, the soldiers in black armor were like standing mountain pine trees, neatly lined up, undergoing training, and their humming was deafening.
Not far away is a military camp built with tents.
In the largest tent, soldiers and soldiers in generals' armor stood or sat, and at this time they looked at the person in the main seat with a serious expression.
If officials who have experienced any war in the past ten years are here, they will find that all the famous generals of Xixuan gather here, sitting together, just sitting silently and not speaking, the power of the tiger and wolf on the body makes people unable to help. Legs trembling.
They were born and died for Xixuan, and they fought against the outside world and settled in. Even if they had great military exploits, they never showed a trace of complacency. They were still in awe of the battle clothes they wore. This is the teacher of tigers and wolves led by Xiao Xu. Frustrated, he once made several neighboring countries frightened and dared not easily challenge their bottom line.
At this time, Xiao Xu turned his back to the crowd and drew on the unfolded map with a pen in one hand.
"Now we are in this position. The army led by Xiao Ran is in Belvedere, which is 120 kilometers away from us. At present, they are not a threat to us. You should lead the soldiers to rest for a few days, and then make plans later."
Gao Hao couldn't sit still after hearing this, "Your Highness, at this time we should strike first."
"The master's arrangement is naturally reasonable, and you have been rushing from Fuli Mountain day and night during this period of time. The soldiers must be very tired. After resting, they have the energy to fight! If you want to avenge your master, you have time."
Huo Ling raised his hand to tell Gao Hao not to get excited, and analyzed the situation with him.
When everyone heard it, they felt that it was very reasonable. It would normally take at least a month to arrive here from the Fuli Mountains, but they did not dare to delay because they were afraid that the general would have an accident, so they shortened the time by half, and when they joined the general, although Everyone's spirits are high, but their bodies are exhausted.
"Okay, let's go and make arrangements!"
Xiao Xu ordered, and the generals stopped talking. They really needed a good rest, so they bowed their hands and retire in an orderly manner.
There were only a few riders left in the tent. At this time, Kong Ling walked in quickly from the outside and said in surprise to the person above, "Master, Shui Ling is back."
Everyone showed joy, even Xiao Xu, who had been tensed all the time, showed a faint smile, "Let her come in and answer."
As soon as the voice fell, Shui Ling was helped in.
"Shui Ling, are you injured?" Huo Ling was startled.
Shui Ling nodded helplessly, "It's just an arrow in the left leg, but it doesn't matter, it has been pulled out, but it's a little inconvenient to walk now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when Shui Ling turned to look at the person in the first place, she waved back the subordinate who was supporting her, and knelt down on her knees to plead guilty, "Master, this subordinate did not receive the little princess as planned. I was forced to leave to avoid the pursuers, and then lost contact with everyone, and my subordinates were ineffective, please punish the master."
In Xiao Lieqi's code of conduct, no matter what the reason is for the failure of the action, they will not make excuses for themselves, doing well is doing well, not doing well is not doing well. It is because of such strict self-discipline that Xiao Lieqi has become an organization feared by the world.
As soon as Shui Ling came back, she inquired about the whereabouts of the little princess, and learned that she had not returned, so when facing her master, she felt extremely guilty, and could not wait to take the sword and apologize.
When he saw Shui Ling come in alone, Xiao Xu's waiting heart suddenly cooled down.
Although he was very disappointed at the moment, he also knew that Shui Ling did her best.
Leaving the capital this time, it can be said that there are dangers and dangers, beyond his expectations.
