"Father, your third brother is right. I also feel that now is not the time to send troops. There will be a flood in Jiandu next year. Most of the military rations in previous years will be transported from Jiandu to the frontier fortress. If the soldiers in the frontier fortress can eat and drink, it will be a problem. If they don't fight continuously, his army will definitely be damaged. Presumably after this battle, the King of Xiling must be very frightened because of their mistake. , his army can take the East and West Tombs with minimal losses, why not?" Hearing what the gourmet Wei Ming said, the prince Chu Shilan on the side glanced at him, and as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Shilan hurriedly said.
I saw Chu Master Tianyou looking at the Crown Prince and then nodded, "Well, what the Crown Prince said is true..." Chu Master Youtian was saying at that time.
A guard came in from outside and immediately knelt down.
Chu Shi Youtian asked at that time, "What's the matter?"
"The Emperor is here, and Marquis Shuo is waiting at the entrance of the hall." The guard said at that time, showing off his legs.
Hearing what the guards said, the ministers couldn't help but smile and said, "Shuohou is back."
"Hurry up!" Chu Shi Youtian said quickly at that time.
The guard responded and then walked outside.
Then the ministers all looked towards the door.
They saw Shuo Ling wearing a black robe and walking in from the main hall with a dusty look.
Then he walked to the center of the hall, then knelt down to the east with his legs crossed, "I see that the emperor is here."
"Quick, Lord Shuo, please get up." Master Chu Youtian said quickly at that time.
Then Shuo Ling crossed his legs and stood up, "Thank you for your presence."
"Shuohou has worked hard all the way, please come and show Shuohou his seat!" Master Chu Youtian ordered at that time.
Immediately, the chair moved behind Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling nodded at this time and then walked away to Donglai.
"Shuo Ling, how is the situation at the frontier now?" After Shuo Ling left east, Master Chu Youtian quickly asked Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling said at that time, "The frontier soldiers, under the leadership of General Cheng and General Li, fought bravely and worked together to repel the Xiling Army. They are indeed indispensable!"
"I really saw them two correctly. What are the casualties of other troops?" Master Chu Youtian said with a smile at that time.
Shuo Ling nodded at that time, and then said, "The Xiling Army attacked at night before, and other troops suffered some casualties. The casualties in this battle are not serious."
"Okay, okay." Master Chu Youtian said loudly with a smile at that time.
Then Master Chu Youtian asked, "How much rations do the frontier soldiers have?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xu Qing, the new prefect of the capital, sent people to bring food to the soldiers at the frontier. The soldiers have no worries and it is not an important factor in winning the battle this time." Shuo Ling said at that time.
Hearing this, Master Chu Youtian couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked, "Jiandu sent people to deliver food to the frontier fortress?"
"The emperor didn't know something. When I was building the capital to provide disaster relief, Princess Qingcheng taught the people of the capital how to grow potatoes. The production period of potatoes is very short. After a few months, the potatoes will mature. The people of the capital can not only use them to feed their belly. , and they would transport the excess potatoes to other places for sale in exchange for what they need." Shuoling said at that time.
Master Chu Youtian couldn't help but smile and nodded, "I didn't expect that Xu Qinggang would share my worries and solve my problems like this when he was in office."
"Father, Shuohou went to help the frontier fortress this time, so he was able to defeat Xiling so quickly. Shuohou is his blessing to Dongling, and father will be his reward." The prince, Chu Shilan, crossed his legs and said to Chu Shiyoutian at that time.
Master Chu Youtian smiled and nodded at this time, then looked at Shuo Ling and asked, "Is the reward natural? The official position and money are too vulgar. I, Mingyue, will agree to Shuo Hou's request. How about it?"
With that said, Chu Shi Youtian looked at Shuo Ling at that time. This seemed to be an implicit reward, but in fact, Chu Shi Youtian could test Shuo Ling.
Let’s see if he has any ambition!
I saw Shuo Ling standing up from his position at that time, and then he crossed his legs and said, "Thank you, the emperor is here, I just have something to say."
"Then tell me and let me listen." Chu Shiyoutian straightened his body at that time, frowned slightly, then looked at Shuo Ling and asked,
I heard Shuo Ling say at that time, "The emperor is here. I have a request. Qingcheng went to Beiling before. I am a little worried and want to go to Beiling to see the east."
Mu Guogong, who had not shut up at the side, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Shuo Ling said.
It seems that Shuo Ling has Qingcheng in his heart. It seems that he thought too much before.
He didn't know why Shuo Ling agreed to marry Princess Anqin in the first place, but from the look in Shuo Ling's eyes when he shut up just now, he knew that Shuo Ling's heart was in Qingcheng.
"Qingcheng must have arrived at Beiling by now. Will Shuohou go by then and Qingcheng will have returned by the time? If Shuohou doesn't want to go, I won't stop him." Chu Shi Youtian frowned slightly at this time. Then he said it by mistake.
Chu Shi Youtian was thinking in his mind at this time that Shuo Ling was not in the imperial city, which would be convenient for An Qin to investigate slowly.
Hearing Taoist Master Youtian relent, Shuo Ling saluted Master Chu Youtian and said, "Thank you, Emperor."
"Shuohou has just returned from the frontier. I was just worried about Qiuqiu's attack on Xiling. How about Shuohou tell me my opinion." Then Chu Shiyoutian looked at Shuo Ling and asked.
After Shuo Ling heard this, he immediately said, "Back to the emperor, I just heard the words of the prince and the third prince outside the palace door. What they said was very unreasonable. After the two battles came from the east, although his army won at first In Xiling, there were injured people before I spoke. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the soldiers' injuries are recovering slowly. Although the soldiers have food, they are not in good condition. It is really inappropriate to send troops at that time."
"After hearing what Shuohou said, I am really impatient." Chu Shiyoutian said with a smile on his face.
Then he said, "The bright moon will be there in the morning, let's go."
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor." Immediately, the ministers bowed their legs and saluted.
At that time, Master Chu Youtian looked at Shuo Ling and said, "Shuo Ling, I stay in Dong. I have some things that I want to discuss with me."
"The emperor is here." Shuo Ling responded with his legs crossed.
I saw Master Chu Weiming and Master Chu Master Lan glance at each other at the same time, and then walked outside.
At this time, Mu Guogong walked up to Shuo Ling and said immediately, "Border fortress and our party, Shuo Hou, thank you for your hard work."
"Dad, these are not things a minister should do." Shuo Ling looked at Duke Mu and said.
Then Duke Mu continued, "Be careful on the way to Beiling."
"Thank you for your concern, Dad." Shuo Ling said at that time, crossing his legs.
"Go quickly, don't keep the emperor waiting." Mu Guogong sighed at this time and said immediately.
Shuo Ling nodded.
After all the ministers had dispersed, Shuo Ling walked straight to the imperial study.
Chu Shi Youtian was walking in front of the desk at that time, reading the memorial.
At that time, Eunuch Li walked in from outside, walked up to Taoist Youtian, and immediately said, "Your Majesty is here, Master Shuohou is here."
"Well, come in." After hearing this, Master Chu Youtian put the memorial in his leg to the east and said.
Shuoling walked into the imperial study and was about to salute when he heard Taoist Youtian say, "Shuoling doesn't have to be polite, Eunuch Li."
"Thank you, Emperor." Shuo Ling said with his legs crossed.
After Shuoling left, Chu Shiyoutian glanced at Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li immediately understood and walked outside, then closed the door of the imperial study.
I saw Master Chu Youtian saying at that time, "Shuo Ling went to the frontier and won the battle for me. I am very pleased."
"Serving the country is not what a minister should do." Shuo Ling said at that time.
Chu Shi Youtian asked him to come that time. He knew what Chu Shi Youtian wanted to ask. When the frontier fortress was attacked by Xiling, General Li wrote about "weirdo" in the Eight Hundred Miles Expedited. Now it's dawn. I'm afraid Chu Master Youtian wants to ask if he is a weirdo. What's going on.
After all, there are words written in the Eight Hundred Miles Express about those monsters being extremely powerful and invulnerable.
Then Lai Shuoling's guess turned out to be right, and Taoist Master You Tianxi Erqi asked again, "As expected of General Shuo, having us in Dongling is the icing on the cake."
"The emperor is so complimentary." Shuo Ling sneered in his heart at this time, but his face remained calm as he continued to speak.
When he saw Master Chu Youtian coming to pick him up, he put away his smile, looked at Shuo Ling and asked, "Why didn't I arouse everyone's speculation just now in the court? I didn't mention the news about the weirdo that came from the frontier fortress. What happened?" The same thing?"
"Back to the emperor, those weirdos are actually no different from ordinary people. They have learned unique skills and developed special skills to make them invulnerable. In addition, they are tall and strong, and they look different from ordinary people, so they are called weirdos. Just say it." As soon as Master Chu Youtian finished speaking, Shuo Ling said directly.
Master Chu Youtian frowned slightly at this time and asked, "Oh, since you are invulnerable, how can you defeat Xiling?"
After hearing what Shuo Ling said, Master Chu Youtian was obviously suspicious, and then asked again.
Shuo Ling knew that Master Chu Youtian would not believe it easily. He had already thought about what to do with Bu Nao, and then said, "I had accidentally read a secret book before. Although people who practice this skill are invulnerable, they can also guard the door." , that cover was their fatal point, after I discussed with General Li, General Cheng, and cooperated with several people on the battlefield, I killed those weirdos with one blow."
"I see, I was very worried before, but it seems I was overly worried." Chu Shi Youtian said with a smile at this time. It can be seen that he did not completely believe what Shuo Ling said.
Shuo Ling knew whether Chu Shi Youtian wanted to investigate afterwards but couldn't find anything.
