Bai Ze couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, your master is very good, you don't have to worry." ”

Looking at Bai Ze's expression, Hu Xiaobai still felt very puzzled, and tilted his head, but he really didn't understand.

This side of the Demon Realm shows the calm before the storm, but the human world is in the midst of a raging storm.

An Lingguo, the imperial study.

Chu Litian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, still had the half-silver mask on his face, his sword eyebrows and thin lips were tightly pursed, and he listened to the soldiers in front of him report the battle situation of the eight hundred miles of urgency.

“…… The general left the deputy general and 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard in the Northern Qi Kingdom, and then returned home with the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses, but was ambushed halfway, our army was caught off guard, lost 3,000 soldiers and horses, and at this time had taken refuge in the Yuebai Mountains in the territory of the Northern Qi Kingdom. The soldier who reported the news was allowed to stand up and speak, his face was heavy, "The Northern Qi Kingdom is a cold place, and it is already autumn at this time, it is cold in the mountains, and the clothes of the soldiers are too thin, although no one has been sick yet, but I am afraid it will not last long." In addition, the army only brought much grain and grass back to the court, and when the subordinates rushed out of the encirclement and came to report the news, the grain and grass in the army was less than half a month! ”

From the location of the army, it will take at least half a month to return to the territory of Anling Kingdom, but now there is only less than half a month's grain and grass in the army, which cannot support it for long! And surrounded by forces of unknown origin, hiding in the mountains and forests, although the mountains and forests are natural barriers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but once in late autumn, the fallen leaves are piled up, and the other party attacks with fire, I am afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers in the mountains and forests will not be able to save their lives!

Knowing the severity of the matter, several ministers in the imperial study looked at Chu Litian, their emperor, behind the desk, hoping that he would come up with a foolproof plan.

Chu Litian chuckled, but his smile was cold to the bone, and said, "Aren't the people of the royal family of the Northern Qi Kingdom imprisoned?" How could such a thing happen at such a juncture? ”

The soldier who reported the news hurriedly said: "If you return to the emperor, the emperor is merciful, and he did not kill the people of the royal family of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and only imprisoned the people in the three clans, but those royal relatives outside the three clans took this opportunity to gather, saying that they wanted to help the lord of the Northern Qi Kingdom, so such a thing happened."

"Really? That's because I was too merciful, I didn't kill these people, I wanted them to surrender obediently, but I didn't expect them to have the intention of rebellion, so presumptuous! Chu Litian said coldly, his gaze wandering over the soldier, his tone sank suddenly, and he shouted: "Since you know that the royal family of the Northern Qi Kingdom is restless, why don't you be cautious?" Why was it still successfully attacked? was beaten so wolf, and fled into the mountains and forests, is this my soldier of Anling Kingdom? ”

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the mountains and rivers changed color.

The ministers present hurriedly knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please calm the emperor's anger!" ”

And the soldier was already so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and said in a panic: "The general originally thought that it was just some rabble, and he was worried about the emperor's benevolence, so he didn't dare to use his blade, so he just gave a little warning. ”

"Pan Qi is really getting more and more confused!" Chu Litian snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Let a group of subordinates fight back, and be forced to look like this, I don't have to do it when I see him as a general!" ”

"The emperor is angry!" Shang Shulin of the Ministry of War hurriedly said, "Although General Pan made a mistake in judging the shape of the form, and the guide was a little sweetened by a group of rabble villains, he really had a moment, but after all, he conquered the Northern Qi Kingdom all the way, won several battles in a row, and won the Northern Qi Kingdom by Shun, and the merit is still greater than the fault!" It is not too late to implore the emperor to give General Pan a chance so that he can make amends! ”

"Please think twice and give General Pan a chance to make amends!" Several ministers next to him hurriedly echoed and said loudly.

Chu Litian retracted his anger a little, and asked in a deep voice: "Then according to what you Aiqing see, what kind of countermeasures should I make in Anling Kingdom at this moment?" ”

Seeing that Chu Litian was no longer angry, Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "If you return to the emperor, the top priority should be to send reinforcements as much as possible, and come to a meeting with General Pan to wipe out the rabble!" ”

"Oh? So who should Lin Aiqing send? Chu Litian watched with interest as the people below knelt together, but he didn't intend to let them get up.

Lin Ze's mind spun around several times in an instant, and many thoughts flashed through him. Going to the Northern Qi Kingdom is not a difficult bone to gnaw on, at that time he privately wanted his son Lin Xu to serve as a soldier with the army, even if he was just a striker or deputy general, he could also accumulate military merits for his future career. But the emperor had his own ideas, not only did he not appoint Lin Xu as an official and a half-post, but he didn't even let him go with him when he went on the expedition, and the abacus in Lin Ze's heart fell through.

I didn't expect the battle with the Northern Qi State, singing the song of triumph all the way, but something went wrong when I returned to the court, at this time, if my son can lead the troops to rescue the soldiers who returned to the court, then he can accumulate a certain prestige in the army, which is very beneficial to the future career!

So, out of selfishness, Lin Ze only thought for a while, and then said out loud: "Weichen has a son who has studied martial arts diligently since he was a child, and has been trained in the army in recent years. Although he is young, he has a calm temperament, not a micro-minister boasting, the dog is qualified to be the leader of this reinforcement, and he definitely lives up to the emperor's high expectations! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the imperial study, and no one dared to say anything at this time, and they all calmly waited for the Son of Heaven above to speak.

Chu Litian was silent for a long time, and it wasn't until everyone was panicked that he slowly spoke and said, "I remember that when I went out to the Northern Qi Kingdom before, Lin Aiqing also recommended your son, it seems that it ...... Called Lin Xu? ”

Lin Ze hurriedly responded: "Thanks to the emperor's memory, the dog's name is indeed Lin Xu." ”

In fact, at this time, Lin Ze already had 10,000 regrets in his heart, he was anxious for a while, and wanted his son to make a contribution, but he should never forget what Chu Litian said when he refused to let Lin Xu go out with the army, because Lin Xu did not join the army, but grew up with soldiers in the military camp since he was a child.

In the eyes of Chu Litian, who is the emperor, this is Lin Ze, the father of the military department, who used his power for personal gain, so that his children could enjoy the resources of the imperial court, but did not join the army, and went out to fight to quell the rebellion.

"Lin Aiqing is loyal and patriotic, and has repeatedly recommended her son to join the army, presumably so that her children can serve the country." Chu Litian chuckled lightly and said out loud, "I once said before, let Lin Xu go back and experience again, I don't know what is going on now?" ”

Seeing that Chu Litian's tone didn't look like he was angry, Lin Ze hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, since the last time the emperor was concerned, the Weichen family received the emperor's edict, and they have already let the dog start to enlist in the barracks, starting from the most ordinary soldiers, and have been training in the barracks during this time!" ”

"In that case, then Lin Aiqing will accompany me to the barracks." Chu Litian pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "The rest of Aiqing, just retreat first and wait for orders." ”

"Yes!"

Lin Ze didn't know why Chu Litian suddenly remembered his son, and he didn't know why Chu Litian suddenly wanted to set up a barracks, but what he knew was that Lin Xu's appearance in front of Chu Litian this time would definitely affect whether he could lead the troops to rescue Pan Qi, so as to establish a position in the court.

So, while accompanying Chu Litian, Lin Ze wanted to find an opportunity for his people to go to the barracks to report first, so that Lin Xu could prepare in advance, so as not to anger Long Yan at that time. But Chu Litian seemed to know his thoughts, and let him wait in front of him all the way, not letting Lin Ze leave his sight at all, and also broke Lin Ze's mind of wanting to send someone to the barracks to report the news.

When he arrived outside the barracks, Chu Litian asked people to stop, then got off the sedan chair, and said to Lin Ze: "In order not to disturb the soldiers, Lin Aiqing will accompany me for a while." ”

Lin Ze followed Chu Litian's side with anxiety, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you have something important to do when you come to the barracks?" ”

"It's just that I heard Lin Aiqing mention Ling Lang's affairs in the army, and I also miss the time when I was a prince and led troops to fight, so I wanted to come and have a look." Chu Litian said casually, suddenly stopped, turned his face to look at Lin Ze, and seemed to be smiling, "Lin Aiqing has such an uneasy appearance, isn't it that Ling Lang is not good in the army, Lin Aiqing is afraid that I will see it and punish him?" ”

"No, no! Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. When Lin Ze heard this, he hurriedly explained, "It's just that the dog is young after all, and Weichen is just worried that he won't know that the emperor is coming, and he will collide with the emperor." Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, if the dog is ignorant and offends the emperor, then even if Weichen dies, he will not be able to resist this crime! ”

With a chuckle, Chu Litian said lightly: "Lin Aiqing is too worried. Lin Aiqing is so loyal and patriotic, presumably so is Ling Lang. Ling Lang is young, and his blood is strong, if there is any conflict, I promised Lin Aiqing that I would not pursue it. ”

It's not that his son is really the mud that can't be supported, but Lin Xu is a young man with great ambitions and dedicated to serving the country, but a young man is a young man, and Lin Xu must have some informality and does not know how to take care of the overall situation, if Chu Litian sees Lin Xu's appearance in the army and the soldiers, I am afraid that Lin Xu will not be able to lead the troops to the battle from now on!

Lin Ze was full of worries and followed Chu Litian into the school field.
