It is undeniable that Lionheart's tall hat makes it a little difficult for Yi Zheng to breathe. Yi Zhengqi knew that he was not so great, but there was indeed a path ahead, a path that could lead to peace. It is difficult for people who have not saluted the war to understand that there are too many relatives, friends, concerns, familiarity, innocence, too much. Just one step forward can make this empire hopeful.

Yi Zhengqi thought about it for a long time, he tried power, he had money, and he had a lot of reputation and status. If you help the eldest prince, it means that you will slowly lose control of the army step by step. It was definitely a tough decision.

But he was not alone, there were others who also lost their military power. Whether the eldest prince will unload the mill and kill the donkey, this is really not clear.

The front is peace, the unification of military power in the theater, and this is definitely a matter of trans-historical significance. If someone else were replaced, would they give up military power for the sake of this empire and for the sake of friends and relatives?

Yi Zhengqi was undecided, and this matter was not decided by him alone.

He first returned to the camp of the Asaga. When the Chaoge army saw that their commander had returned, they naturally shouted wildly.

After the excitement, Yi Zhengqi found three main subordinates.

"There is an important matter in looking for you today. I can't make a decision and would like to ask for your opinion. ”

Seeing Yi Zhengqi's serious face and the desolate taste in his tone, Fu Zhentao didn't dare to joke, and said, "Boss, if you have anything, just say it." We're all following you anyway. ”

"Yes, General. Is there any action? The first thing they guessed was naturally that Yi Zhengqi was almost recovered now and wanted revenge. This was an engagement between two military lines, and it was natural for Yi Zhengqi to ask for their opinions.

Yi Zhengqi shook his head and said, "That's not it. More important than that. There is a great opportunity to join the regular army, would you like to join it? ”

As soon as the faces of the three changed, this sentence was equivalent to testing their loyalty. Mo Ziying said: "Sir, we follow you from birth to death, don't you still believe us?" ”

"Naturally, I believe it. Let me tell you straight, the eldest prince intends to recruit us. Since he is a member of the Great Prince, he will naturally become a regular army. The entire Chaoge Army doesn't have to worry about when it will be settled by the Kayun royal family. If you join, it will be a big change in the entire theater of operations. It's a shift that can distort the times. ”

Fu Zhentao said: "Can't you go if you don't join?" Our salaries are so high. ”

Yi Zhengqi thought that if Mu Anchen arrived with a large army, the first step would definitely be to unify the forces of the theater, and by then it would be the general trend. had to join the rule of the royal family. Even if Yi Zheng is stubborn, he can only leave with the army in the end. What the consequences will be, I don't know.

If His Majesty Kayun also came, caused by the army, with the 100,000 people of the Chaoge army, would he have the capital to judge?

Yi Zhengqi said: "We join now, and the eldest prince can help us take revenge on the Song Army." When An Ou betrayed our brother, it was Prince Chu who sent someone to assassinate me in prison, and he helped get rid of both of them. This is the condition of the exchange. ”

"It turned out to be Prince Chu. There is a reason for this! ”

"Sir, we were still supervising the army. Annou is in debt for a blood feud, and this account has been long enough. ”

Yi Zhengqi nodded, and suddenly asked another question: "You three, why do you want to join the army?" ”

Fu Zhentao grinned: "I don't know, it may be that the conditions for joining the army are the lowest." I can't do anything else. ”

"I want to avenge my family." It was the orcs who killed my family. ”

Mi Yu thought for a while and said, "My dad has been envious of joining the army since he was a child. In our village, only those who served as soldiers were looked down upon by the villagers. My parents are very old, and they told me that those who join the army are honest and brave people. At first, I wanted not to be bullied by the villagers, but later, after following you for a long time, I felt that this idea was wrong. Now, I'm just thinking about not letting other people bully others. ”

Yi Zhengqi listened quietly and said in a low voice: "I understand!" He stood up and said, "This is not a small matter, I will think about it again." ”

Yi Zhengqi left the camp of the Chaoge army and directly found the governor's palace.

The guards at the gate saw that it was Yi Zhengqi and said with a smile: "General Yi, it's really unfortunate that you came, our governor went to the front line." The eastern side was under heavy attack from the orcs. ”

Yi Zhengqi smiled awkwardly, before he said who he was looking for, the guards first said where Mu Zhijing was. Listening to the words of the guards, Yi Zhengqi frowned, and thought: I was really told by Lionheart, and the beast soldiers would not give themselves too much time.

"Is the range of the beast soldier's attack large?"

"I heard that it is from the new East District 3 all the way to the East District 2. The orcs built new ships. ”

Yi Zhengqi nodded and said casually: "Then I don't know when it's going to be fought." ”

"It shouldn't be too long. Our governor is out on horseback, and every day we are able to repel the orcs before dark. Should be back soon. If General Yi is not busy, he will wait for the governor in the study. ”

"Study? It's inconvenient. ”

"Oh, we believe in General Yi. Never mind. ”

"Thank you!"

Yi Zhengqi walked into Mu Zhijing's study, which was very simplely furnished, and the windows were open, so that you could see the clear green grass outside the window. Yi Zhengqi took a look around, only to find that this was Mu Zhijing's private study, and the books on it were irrelevant, and there were no military documents.

Yi Zhengqi walked to the table and sat down, and at this time, a guard brought him a cup of hot tea. The guards saw that Mu Zhijing's table was a little messy, and they cleaned it up twice.

"General Yi, take care of yourself."

"Good. Thank you for the tea. ”

Yi Zhengqi smelled the faint fragrance of books, as well as the faint fragrance left by Mu Zhijing, the tea was like wine, and before he knew it, he was a little drunk. Gradually, I fell asleep next to each other in a chair.

I don't know how long I slept this night, but I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. Yi Zhengqi was startled and immediately woke up. In a daze, he saw that the lights had been lit, and in the doorway, Mu Zhijing was looking at it with a resentful expression.

"Ahh Wood Governor! ”

"Who let you sleep with me?" Mu Zhijing strode in, listening to her tone, she was still a little shy.

Yi Zhengqi hurriedly stood up, and accidentally, he knocked over the teacup on the table, and the remaining tea was poured on the table instantly. Yi Zheng was in a hurry, and immediately picked up the book and paper on the table.

"Sorry, I was careless." Yi Zheng wiped the water droplets off the paper with his hands. Mu Zhijing immediately picked up a cloth to wipe the table, and shouted, "Did you do it on purpose?" If I get my files wet, see if I can cut them......"

Mu Zhijing was suddenly stunned, glanced at Yi Zhengqi, and found that Yi Zhengqi was looking at the book and paper in his hand blankly. She looked at her head curiously, and suddenly her pretty face turned red, and she immediately snatched all the books and papers. Hold it tightly to your chest.

On the book and paper, Yi Zhengqi's name was densely written.

At this time, the guards at the gate heard the noise and stretched out their heads and said, "Governor, is there something wrong?" ”

"Oh, oh, it's fine. Knocked over the teacup! ”

Only then did the two get out of their embarrassment.

Yi Zhengqi sneered: "Sir, you came back so late. Did the orcs attack badly? ”

"Well, it's okay. This time there were seven or eight times more troops than usual. It's just that they didn't really attack desperately. Fortunately, the expeditionary force also arrived and withstood the pressure. What did you come to me for? ”

Yi Zhengqi settled down and said, "Your brother is coming, do you have any plans?" ”

Mu Zhijing was still holding a pile of books and paper, and said, "Naturally." But I don't have to tell you. ”

Yi Zhengqi pursed his lips and said: "What do you think about the merger of various military departments in the war zone?" ”

Mu Zhijing glanced at him and said, "It turns out that you are looking for me to fight this idea." My brother is coming, but my grandfather is not necessarily coming. But Your Majesty will definitely come. When the time comes, I will give up my position to my brother, and his skills will make me much stronger. I know that my brother will not let you people exist in this form again. You have a good relationship with him, talk to him, and maybe you can make him change his mind. ”

Yi Zhengqi didn't want to explain too much, and said, "Do you know that Mu Anchen will be the supreme commander at that time?" ”

Mu Zhijing thought for a while and said, "This is where you don't understand politics. Our Mu family has been assisting the Kayun royal family for thousands of years, and we don't have any delusions. This is also the reason why our Mu family has been able to survive to this day. His Majesty Cayun is old, and he needs to train a successor. And the imperial family, which has ruled the Far Eastern Empire for hundreds of years, naturally has its reasons for being able to stand.

What capital will the future Emperor XVII use to rule the Far East, and it is still this chaotic era? Our Majesty's eyes are like torches, and he has long thought of this. He does not show up in order to allow the future heir to establish merit. Think about it, if the future Kayun XVII is the one who led the army to drive out His Majesty the Great Wind Emperor, would his throne be more secure? So can the Kayun royal family be reborn again and prosper for a few hundred years? ”

Yi Zhengqi's heart trembled, and said, "It turns out that you already knew." ”

"Not bad. In any case, our Mu family is auxiliary. Which prince is the most important, if the prince is still young, our Mu family will become the highest commander. As for now, no matter how many twists and turns, in the end, it must be the royal family that will take the lead. So, how will your Chaoge army decide? It's up to you. As for our Mu family, we naturally have our own way, and I also promised Princess Yumeng. ”

Yi Zhengqi sighed, Mu Zhijing's words were very simple, but she silently paid a lot. He wants to support the eldest prince to make contributions, and the only thing he feels sorry for is Mu Zhijing, because this is tantamount to depriving Mu Zhijing of her power in disguise. But now Mu Zhijing can see it more thoroughly than him, and when Mu Anchen arrives, she still has the intention of abdicating and making way for Xian.

Well, none of this is an obstacle.

Yi Zhengqi didn't know if the next step was right or wrong. But he understands that the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer.

For the sake of the common people of the world, for this era of war to end as soon as possible. More for the soldiers who follow him, for those who believe in him, for those who care in their hearts to live better.

So be it!
