The carriage shakily entered the camp and passed through the white tents.
Finally, it stopped in front of the largest tent in the center.
There, a group of generals knelt down on one knee to welcome the arrival of the man in the carriage.A bony hand opened the curtains of the carriage, and Wu Jiong stepped on the prepared stool and got down from the carriage.
His hands were hidden in his wide sleeves, and he smiled as he looked at the several people kneeling on the ground.
"Get up.""Thank you, Your Majesty.
" All the generals stood up and bowed, waiting for the Emperor's orders."Everyone, come in." The white clothed man elegantly walked to the front of the tent.
A servant girl immediately stepped forward and opened the tent's curtain.
After that, everyone followed him into the tent.Meanwhile, the man in black who was driving the horse silently disappeared into the camp.The tent was many times larger than the tent where the soldiers lived.
The bed and bed inside were separated by a dark screen.
Outside, there was a large imperial concubine and a long table.Wu Jiong was half leaning against the couch, looking at the map on the long table indifferently.
A fiery-red fox ran out from the inside and jumped into Wu Jiong's embrace, stretching out its small tongue to fawn on Wu Jiong's hand.The generals stood on both sides of the long table, not daring to breathe loudly.
Although this monarch looked like an incapable ruler, he had taken his place at the age of seventeen.
He used a short year to calm his internal chaos and withdrew his military power from the hands of the various Monarchs.
He spent another two years to reorganize the royal court's rules, allowing the dynasty to finally return from the brink of destruction and begin to have an unprecedentedly prosperous scene.Just by looking at these things, they couldn't underestimate this young king's ability.However, as soon as the imperial court settled down, the emperor was going to attack the Northern Star Kingdom, and on his personal expedition.
The officials all guessed that the emperor was going to take revenge for being arrested as a hostage.
It was obvious how much the emperor held grudges."Fellows, please speak about the current situation." Wu Jiong stroked the little fox in his arms and swept his eyes across everyone.The General Zhen was slightly startled.
He stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying.
"Your Majesty, Shao Hua isn't in the army right now.
Right now, the chances of winning against Jingmen Gate are even higher.
""But the Shao Family's army isn't a vegetarian.
Since General Shaohua dares to return to the court without worry, he must have made complete preparations," Wushang said lazily, as though he was watching an outsider."This subject has the confidence to conquer Jingmen Gate." The General of Towns Nation cupped his fists and kneeled on one knee, his voice filled with confidence.They had been stationed here for three days, but the Emperor had yet to arrive, so they did not dare to do anything.
Now that the Emperor had finally arrived, as long as the Emperor gave the order, he could immediately rush to the battlefield.As long as he took down the gates of Jingmen, his reputation as the General of the Nation Town would rise to a higher level, and the power of the General of the Nation Town's General's residence in the dynasty would reach its peak.Wu Jiong looked at the person on the ground with a smile that wasn't a smile.
After a long time, he said, "Very well, I'll give you fifty thousand elite soldiers.
If you can't take down the gates of Jingmen, you don't have to come back."The General Zhen was overjoyed and immediately left the tent to lead the troops."Your Majesty, absolutely not!" When the general left, a young general immediately spoke."Oh, tell me why not." Wu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who spoke.
This person looked to be in his twenties and his appearance was not bad, but he was a little dark.He remembered someone else.
Li Chengxiang's eldest son seemed to have been training in this army for a long time."If General Shao really doesn't return the favor, I'm afraid that the Shao family's army is intentionally concealing General Shao's news, and they want us to underestimate the enemy.
The news of the scout hasn't spread yet, so it wouldn't be too late for His Majesty to attack Jingmen Gate after he obtains the accurate information.
" That general said."Is that so?
That's interesting." Wu Jiong's nonchalant attitude made the general even more cautious.
Everyone knew that this king was moody and unpredictable, and even his father-in-law, who had been serving close to him, could not figure out his temperament."What's your name?"The young general was stunned, and then replied, "I, Lifu, greet Your Majesty.""What position do you have?""This subject is the Deputy General of the General of the Nation Protector.
""Since that's the case, if General Zhen loses this battle, you can take over the position of General Zhen." After speaking, Wu Jiong carried the fox and stood up.
"I'm tired.
All of you can leave.""Yes."Lifu was pulled out by the Weiyuan Army General.
Before he could react, the Weiyuan Army General touched his white beard and patted Lifu's shoulder happily.
"You're lucky.
The Emperor has taken a liking to you."Lifu snapped out of his daze and looked at the Mighty General with a bitter expression.
"The General has shown me the favor of knowing my fate.
I was just in a hurry to persuade the emperor, but I didn't expect the emperor to say something like that.
Isn't that asking for my utmost loyalty?
No, I have to go back..." Lifu said as he turned around and walked into the main tent.The Weiyuan Army General blocked Li Fu.
"The king has his own decision.
You don't need to think too much," the Weiyuan Army General comforted.
He could see clearly that the emperor wanted to use this opportunity to save the great stone of the Nation Guardian General's Mansion.
Whether the general won or not, he would have to die at Jing Sect gates."Let's go, Lifu.
Go play chess with me."When the Weiyuan Army General and Lifu entered another tent, a shadow silently entered Wu Jiong's tent.Inside the tent, Wu Jiong was already lying on the bed between the screens.
The red-haired fox was curled up on the velvet pillow under the bed.
The moment the black shadow entered, the fox opened its eyes.
When it smelled the black shadow, its tail shook and closed its eyes again."How is it?" The person on the bed still had his eyes closed, as if he was just talking in a dream."General Shaohua has indeed returned to Jingmen Gate." That black shadow was hidden in the darkness, and his voice drifted out from the darkness like a ghost."Go and send a letter to General Shao.
I heard that there's a fox temple under Snow Jade Peak, and I'm very interested in it.
I'll invite General Shao to hang out under Snow Jade Peak for three days.
"After saying that, a black figure floated out and disappeared into the darkness.
The fox under the bed shook its tail again, making a grumbling noise.
The person on the bed let out a faint breathing sound, as if the conversation just now was just a dream.The General of Nation Guardian had died at Jingmen Gate.
This was the news that Wushang had reported the day after returning to the camp.
Wushang was still in the middle of his afternoon tea, and four maids were serving him.
Wushang leaned against the couch, holding a book in one hand and a teacup in the other as he took a sip from the teacup.The scouts came to report this news.
Wu Jiong smiled like a fox and sent someone to pass down orders.
Lifu took over the position of General of the Nation Guardian and was conferred the title of Mighty Tiger General.
At the same time, he passed down orders and did not move an army.
If he disobeyed, he would be punished by military law.For a moment, the army fell into an abnormal silence.
The death of the General of the Nation Guardian seemed to be telling everyone that if one wanted to be the victor, there was only death.Wushang had been back for three days.
Apart from training, he stayed in the tent and didn't allow anyone to disturb him.
Three days later, Wushang drove out of the camp on his luxurious carriage.
