Chapter 170: Summoned
"Big brother, are we going to find Sister Ziyue now?"
On the bustling street, Jiu'er dragged Lin Chen's arm with his left hand, held a fresh fruit in his right hand, and asked dizzily, obviously he didn't sleep well, and he was staggering when he walked.
"That's right, we can go back to the army after a trip to the palace, and there will be a lot of people to play with you. ”
Lin Chen thought of those soldiers in the reinforced battalion, when the time came, Jiu'er would undoubtedly be a little overlord in the barracks, and everyone would do their best to take care of her.
Jiu'er bit off the last bite of fresh fruit, nodded slowly and said, "Sister Ziyue seems to like you very much, and often asks me about you, but I don't know where you have gone." ”
"A girl with a big ghost, do you know what it means to like it?"
Lin Chen's face turned blue after hearing this, you must know that Zi Ke is inside the ring, observing the situation outside the arena at any time.
"Of course I know, you just like it when you're with your big sister. ”
Jiu'er tilted her head and thought about it, and then replied innocently, but this sentence was inadvertently said into Lin Chen's heart.
"Stop!"
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the palace, and they were stopped by Praetorian Guard soldiers still wearing iron armor.
There are quite a lot of bright and dark sentinels in the entire imperial city, and the strength of the Praetorian Guard soldiers trained everywhere is not bad at all compared to the Iron Eagle soldiers, and there are several strong auras that do not live in the imperial city, which is completely impregnable.
Therefore, the palace that seems to outsiders to be sparsely guarded is actually a hidden mystery, even if it is a strong martial king, it is impossible to break in, and it will be wiped out outside in an instant.
Lin Chen handed over Emperor Qin's edict, and the soldier respectfully saluted after taking it, after all, he was several steps lower in rank.
"Please, sir, follow the Praetorian Guards to His Majesty's study. ”
The soldier returned the oracle to Lin Chen and waved his hand at the group of soldiers next to him.
In the process of walking towards the study, Lin Chen felt that the brilliant golden ancestral qi in his body that had not grown for a long time had loosened a little, and the source qi and magic in the palace seemed to be more dense and easier to absorb.
"Jiu'er, you take the little wolf to the princess to play first, I'll pick you up after I've taken care of things for a while. ”
At the door of the study, Lin Chen touched Jiu'er's head and said with a smile, and then he followed the Praetorian Guard soldiers in.
"I've seen Your Majesty, the eldest prince, and the second prince. ”
As expected, Qin Wentian and Qin Hao accompanied Emperor Qin, preparing to meet Lin Chen together.
"Haha, you're welcome, come and sit down. ”
Qin Wentian and Qin Hao sat on both sides, and Emperor Qin lived in the middle, saying enthusiastically to Lin Chen.
Qin Hao immediately took over and asked, "Is Lin Gongzi still used to being in the Iron Eagle Regiment?"
"Of course, it's good to be in the Iron Eagle Legion, I have got a lot of opportunities, thanks to His Highness's care. Lin Chen stood in place, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied in a clear voice.
"Marshal Ye sent a letter saying that Gongzi Lin Chen made meritorious service twice in the battle with the Evil Career, and the first time he almost wiped out the newcomers of the Guilty Career, and this time he personally slaughtered a stronghold, why was he only promoted to lieutenant?"
Qin Wentian directly pinpointed the sensitive topic as soon as he opened his mouth, and directly put pressure on the eldest prince Qin Hao and the Iron Eagle Legion, which meant that Chen Shuai's troops could be considered for better development.
Facing the two princes vying for power, of course Lin Chen wouldn't say anything, such a fight would only make him more advantageous, so he stood in place with a slight smile and didn't say anything.
"Lin Gongzi is only sixteen years old, and he is already the youngest lieutenant in the barracks, and this time it was decided after Ye Shuai and his father discussed it. ”
Qin Hao was not shocked in his heart, he already knew his brother's intentions, not only to put pressure on himself, but also to entrap Lin Chen.
"But the last time the people from the Tianqing Sect went to the Iron Eagle Legion to ask for someone, Ye Shuai was almost ready to hand over Lin Chen's son, what is the difference between this approach and Tianya Academy?"
Qin Wentian took advantage of the situation to ask another tricky question, it seemed that he wanted to give himself an advantage on this issue, and at the same time gain Lin Chen's favor.
"The people of the Tianqing Sect came to the army just to go through the motions, and it was also an excellent training opportunity for Lin Chen, and it was impossible to let him go at all. ”
Qin Hao's face had already begun to change, he was also in charge of this matter at that time, that is, he was allowed to let the people of Tianqing Sect come to the army, so of course he would fall into some tricks, Lin Chen was not a fool, he could definitely analyze it.
Lin Chen saw Emperor Qin sitting in place and watching the two princes start a battle of words, in fact, it was also a training exercise for the two princes, and Emperor Qin already had his own judgment on what to really do.
Emperor Qin suddenly asked, "Lin Chen, what do you think?" I know everything the two of them said, what kind of resentment do you have in your heart?"
"Your Majesty, the so-called Three Sects, Four Sects, and Four Great Courtyards are all forces with a long heritage in the empire, and the contradiction between me and the Tianqing Sect is irresolvable, and I can understand the army's approach. But if I were Ye Shuai, I would definitely not let others easily threaten my soldiers. ”
Lin Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and said after bowing slightly, his position was based on his own interests, which seemed very real and did not have the slightest hint of falsehood.
As the decision-maker, Emperor Qin stood on the interests of the whole, and the eldest prince and the second prince also stood on their own interests, so this is a collision of thinking and choice.
"I summoned you here today to make up for this. The emperor didn't know that the people of the Tianqing Sect went to the army to see you, but it was really easy to chill you, and you could ask for anything. ”
As Emperor Qin made the decision, neither the eldest prince nor the second prince spoke anymore, but Qin Hao's expression was a little unnatural, while Qin Wentian relaxed a lot, what he said just now was particularly beneficial to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen, I have been short of some cultivation resources recently, can you let me pick some?" Lin Chenqiang held back the joy in his heart and thanked him again.
"The treasury of the palace is about to be emptied by you, go and meet the girl Ziyue, give her what you like, and there will be soldiers sent to your barracks at that time." ”
Emperor Qin didn't talk too much nonsense, handed over a holy oracle to Lin Chen, and then returned to his palace, and the two princes also left the study.
To say that the most sober person is undoubtedly Lin Chen, the interests within the palace are clearly intertwined, these turmoil is not something he can get involved in for the time being, and he can only have the right to choose after his own strength is strong.
"Ah, big brother is back, Sister Ziyue. ”
Jiu'er was still playing normally in the palace, without the slightest intention of saying goodbye, sitting on the table eating fresh fruits, chatting with Qin Ziyue by the way.
"Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, this time I came to pick up the wine and the little wolf, and I have trouble you to take care of it for so long. ”
Lin Chen handed the edict of Emperor Qin just now to Qin Ziyue, and opened his mouth to thank him, his language was very calm, revealing a hint of politeness.
"Ahh ”
Qin Ziyue was always that kind of light and breezy appearance at any time, as long as she saw Lin Chen, she would have some emotional fluctuations, and now her eyes were full of anticipation, but she bit her lip and couldn't say it.
As the atmosphere fell into embarrassment, Lin Chen didn't stay long, he walked out of the palace with Jiu'er and the little wolf in his arms, now he no longer has any burden, and it is the best choice to return to the army to seize all opportunities and time to improve his strength.
"Tianqing Sect, we will come for a long time!"
Lin Chen looked at the road he fled from last time, a hint of coldness appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he clenched his fists tightly, looking forward to coming back next time, and then his figure flashed and left.
After coming out of the palace, Zi Yue's voice came: "Lin Chen, put the two of them in the ring." ”
Lin Chen squatted down and touched Jiu'er's little head, and said softly: "I'll send you and the little wolf to see the big sister, don't be afraid for a while." ”
"Okay, where are you going? Big sister isn't here. ”
Jiu'er looked around, but didn't find Zi's figure, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Lin Chen's heart moved, and he urged the ancestral qi to send Jiu'er and the little wolf into the black ring, and immediately stepped on the fire dance, rushing towards the station of the Iron Eagle Legion with all his might.
Along the way, there was indeed a Martial King of the Tianqing Sect who wanted to chase and kill him halfway, but the Martial King of the Praetorian Guard was not jealous, and he had been protecting Lin Chen in the open, and it was impossible for him to continue to be harmed.
This time when he came to the imperial capital, Lin Chen's harvest was undoubtedly huge. Not only did he take Jiu'er and the little wolf away, but he also took back the sword and the cultivation resources of refining.
If there was nothing in the royal family's collection, it would definitely be impossible to find a place like the Treasure Pavilion, and Emperor Qin's compensation measures were indeed not false at all.
"Senior Instructor, I'm back. ”
Halfway through, Lin Chen urged the fire dance to land outside the division headquarters, and said with a smile to Gao Yuan, who was patrolling the soldiers outside.
"Let's rest for the night, this time I'll send you a few elite soldiers, after all, the written reward is given, and you still have to come with something practical. ”
"Okay. ”
To say that the most lacking thing in Lin Chen's current training is that he does not have experienced instructors, similar to Liu Song next to Gao Yuan, with this kind of experienced person, the quality of grassroots soldiers can be improved very high.
This is also why the training of officers is particularly difficult, and every year it takes a huge amount of money for the Iron Eagle Legion. The three very important points are that the instructors must be of high quality, the trainees must be talented, and with the input of countless resources, it is finally possible to train officers with handsome talents.
As he spoke, Qin Shutong walked over, and immediately asked with a smile: "Why don't you and Ziyue get along for a while, this time the application time is very long." ”
When Lin Chen heard this again, he couldn't help but scratch his head, and replied, "I still want to go back to the barracks, and I don't want to waste too much time." ”
Although he didn't tell the truth, Lin Chen had already expressed the meaning indirectly, and Qin Shutong caught it instantly, and there was some surprise in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.
"There are thousands of martial arts powerhouses selected by the headquarters, and they all have very good training abilities, I can allocate ten martial artists for you. ”
Gao Yuan and Lin Chen walked to a barracks at the division headquarters, all of which were inhabited by new instructors, and they were about to go to various camps.
