Chapter 22: The Prince vomits blood
In the inner hall of the Li Mansion, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Four pairs of eyes stared at Li Xipin, waiting for his reply.
It can be said that as long as Li Xipin is willing to speak, the future of the four of them is bright, even if they can't win the North Star Kingdom this time, even the military exploits of the army can add a heavy stroke to their resumes.
"Well, I'll do that, just a word, but I can't promise that the old man will listen to me."
Old man?
The four of them were first overjoyed when they heard this, and then they looked at Li Xipin with extremely strange eyes.
In the kingdom, he is the only one who dares to call himself an old man.
However, it can be seen that Li Xipin has a great relationship with the Holy Virtue Ancestor, which makes the four of them even happier and more relieved.
"That's... Brother Li, this time, the two brothers and I have something else to do..."
King Wen's matter can also be said to be everyone's matter has been discussed, but Fa Zhi has spoken.
"Brother Fa, this kind of spitting is not like the Fazhi I know."
Li Xipin had actually guessed the purpose of him and Zhao Mingtang, but he just wanted to tease the two.
"Brother Li, I'm not good at asking for people, so..."
"Oh, Brother Fa is like this, you see that he is usually very arrogant, he never does anything to ask for people, I say! My brothers also want to buy a martial god system from Brother Li."
Zhao Mingtang looked at Fa Zhi like that, but he couldn't help but speak.
"Coincidentally, if you came earlier or later, I really didn't have it, but today I just made a few, so I will sell one for each of the two brothers!"
Li Xipin stopped joking, and then took out two silver bracelets.
"My two brothers also said that Brother Li didn't have it today, and we are not going to take this spirit stone back, even if we are booked, we must buy one, watching the cultivation of His Royal Highness and Brother Liu soar, my two brothers are greedy..."
Zhao Mingtang had just finished speaking, and was about to hand over two gift bags, when he heard Liu Zhengyuan quip: "It's not that you two are poor ghosts, you have been scraping together money for so long, if it weren't for the help of His Highness this time, I think you would have to wait until the end of the war to get it together!haha..."
"That's right... Then you better take back the spirit stones, these two systems are counted as my sponsorship of Brother Fa and Brother Zhao, not to mention that this is a money-burning thing, and it is good to leave some spirit stones for cultivation."
When Li Xipin heard this, he hurriedly pushed the two bags back.
Two million spirit stones is a drop in the bucket for the current Li Xipin, but if you can use these two hundred spirit stones to fall into these two favors, it is completely worthwhile.
As everyone knows, at this time, most of the spirit stones in the entire kingdom are in Li Xipin's hands, but they have just flowed to the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce again, but...
Next, I can't say it!
"Brother Li... This... How is this good!" or Fa Zhi spoke, he really couldn't handle such a thing when it was his turn.
"It's okay, take it, if the next few are developed, I can't say that I still have to go to you, haha..."
Li Xipin behaved quite boldly, and immediately dispelled the worries in Fa Zhi's heart.
"Then let's put it away, Brother Li's sponsorship today I Zhao Mingtang wrote it down, and I will report it tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you Brother Li, in the future, but there are instructions, as long as you don't violate the law, I will help you."
Zhao Mingtang and Fa Zhi spoke one after another, and their personalities and attitudes were completely different.
However, the superiors must reuse subordinates like Fa Zhi, and prefer people like Zhao Mingtang!
Sure enough, King Wen's eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Fazhi, and when he looked at Zhao Mingtang, it was a sense of identity.
The four of them can walk together, and it is not entirely the relationship between their fathers who stand in line, and there is also friendship between them.
It's just that if King Wen really ascends the throne, this friendship... I can't say it.
Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless!
......
Three days went by in a flash.
Outside the Holy City, the high altar has been erected, and after the emperor sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, the army can start the battle!
As soon as the hour came, the gates of the city opened, and a column of cavalry dressed in bright silver heavy armor came out with their flags raised.
In the rumbling of horses, the altar was cordoned off.
The infantry brigade followed, also to their posts.
The emperor's ceremonial frame then came out, and against the background of the rising sun, it looked majestic and sacred.
The civil and military officials followed, all dressed up with solemn faces.
"Woo... Woo..."
A low and melodious trumpet sounded.
Not far from the city gate, a cavalry rushed in at great speed, and the captain was dressed in military uniform, and he took the lead.
After the cavalry stopped not far from the altar, the emperor walked down the ceremonial stand, he sorted out his appearance, and then looked at the prince in military uniform next to the ceremonial stand, and shook his head faintly.
Today's crown prince did not wear official uniforms, but came directly wearing the armor of the expedition.
Before the expedition, King Wen did not propose a fighting method, and he wanted to come to the army for such a thing.
If that's the way it has been, it's true, but... I'm afraid the prince is going to be disappointed!
The emperor walked up to the altar step by step, and walked through the complicated ceremony step by step according to the regulations, and then, at the emperor's behest, the prime minister picked up a scroll of holy decrees from the tray in the hands of the officials beside him.
"When the weather is good, crusade against the rebellious, with Ning Sheji, hereby order Taiwei as the commander, King Wen Xiangzuo, lead the army to the north, open up the territory, do not retreat slightly, to the sin, Qin this!"
"What?"
"Humble Command"
"Sons and Daughters"
As soon as the Prime Minister's decree was read, three voices sounded at the same time.
Except for the Taiwei and King Wen who received the order, the exclamation naturally came from the mouth of the prince, but fortunately, it was covered by the voices of the two of them, and it was not too obvious.
"Father..."
The crown prince was about to say something, but the emperor on the altar spoke first: "Taiwei, you can be fully responsible for the war on this trip, King Wen is only supervising the war with the army, and has no real power, you can rest assured."
I await your good news in the Holy City, may you start victoriously and return safely, and set out!"
"Yes"
The lieutenant and King Wen saluted, and then turned on their horses.
"Wait, father, why aren't you a son, why?"
Who dares to interrupt the process of the expedition ceremony at this time, who else can it be besides the prince?
The lieutenant glanced at the emperor on the altar, and then with a pull of the reins, he shouted, "The army is on march."
"Stomp, stomp..."
"Come back, come back to me, why not me?
The prince still roared at the army that was slowly moving away, and if it weren't for the guards in the inner circle to stop him, he was afraid that he would really rush over.
The army wandered away until it disappeared from the official road, and the emperor sighed and walked off the altar.
"Father, why?
As soon as the emperor came to the ceremonial stand, the prince in military uniform rushed over and asked loudly, his voice hoarse and miserable.
"Hmph, impulsive and reckless, it's hard to become a climate, go back to your prince's palace and reflect."
The emperor was already furious in his heart, if it weren't for his prince's face, I am afraid that he would have been dragged down, and he would dare to roar in front of the ceremony?
"Why? It's not fair, father, you're partial, your son doesn't obey, no... Poof..."
The prince was halfway through his shouting, and suddenly a mouthful of blood rushed up and spurted out.
"Prince... Prince..."
The surrounding civil and military officials rushed up one after another, and the prime minister was the closest, and he took the prince into his arms, and then looked at the emperor.
The emperor looked coldly at the crown prince who was as pale as paper but still stared at him with resentment, and his anger increased.
"Bastard thing, it's good to be dead, hum, drive back to the palace"
After the Emperor finished speaking, he lowered the curtain and ignored what was happening outside.
When the prince heard this, he was even more angry, and after squirting out a mouthful of blood again, he fell into a coma in the arms of the prime minister.
......
Although Li Xipin did not arrive, he "watched" the expedition ceremony before and after, first, he was curious about this traditional ceremony in another world, and second, he also wanted to see the prince's reaction.
But I didn't think that this prince was so reckless, he was simply brainless.
interrupted the ceremony without saying anything, and even questioned the emperor in person, isn't this looking for death?
The emperor is also good-tempered, if it is replaced by an equally irascible emperor...
Let's not talk about whether the crown prince's position can be kept, it is a small life, and if you can't say it, you have to lose it.
Violent and perverse, domineering and willful, impulsive and brainless, it is difficult to become a big weapon.
This is the definition given by Li Xipin to the prince.
If this prince crosses, I'm afraid he won't survive half an episode!
