Chapter 32: Refusal

"What you said is what people are praising now, more than 30 years ago, there were about 7 million troops in 50 states of Qi State. But five million of the seven million troops are guarding the border against the orcs like me, and the remaining two million are scattered throughout the country and are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. At that time, the royal family of Qi had two million troops, and at the same time, there were three major generals who each had one million troops. The Wang army was led by my father and grandfather, but in a battle, because the support of the two armies of Fang and Liu was late, the Wang army lost only 300,000 in a month. Wang Zhitian paused for a moment and continued: "My grandfather and father died together with the soldiers in the battle, and my father gave me the general seal before he died, so that I could bring the rest of the soldiers back for him, and at the same time never betray the emperor. Because the vitality of the Wang family army was greatly injured, and Linzhou was just about to fall, Fang and Liu, who had always been at odds with us, and some traitors in the court and the central government played together to let me come here to quell the chaos, hehe. ”

Wang Zhitian didn't continue, because Ye Chen already knew what was going on.

After listening to Wang Zhitian's story, Ye Chen didn't know how to speak now, he had been loyal for hundreds of years, first because the rescue was late, and he lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in vain, and then because of the interests of a generation of loyal ministers, he ended up like this, and finally there were only tens of thousands of people left in the million-strong army.

"General's Day condolences." Ye Chen comforted.

"It's come to this point, there's nothing more to say, I came to you today to ask if you would like to come to our army as an officer and a half." Wang Zhitian sent out an invitation.

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Thank you for the general's love, but it's a pity that Ye Chen is young, and he can't rest assured of his sister at home, and his late parents also want me to be admitted to the Glory Ancestor, so I want to have the opportunity to join in the future." ”

The current Ye Chen doesn't want to join any forces, he doesn't know what Wang Zhitian wants to do, it sounds like Wang Zhitian has a lot of enemies, and he still has to wait to understand the situation before choosing.

"In that case, I don't force it, there is one more thing, I heard Yu De say that you once directly crushed a strong man's throat with your bare hands, but is there such a thing?" Wang Zhitian asked.

"Ye Chen knows what the adults said, but it's a pity that the family teacher specially instructed me not to leak it at will before leaving, if I have the opportunity to meet his old man, Ye Chen will ask him for the old man's meaning." Ye Chen directly refused, this was one of his few secrets, and he definitely couldn't just reveal it casually.

Wang Zhitian nodded in understanding, and did not force it, on the contrary, he still admired Ye Chen. He is neither humble nor arrogant when he talks to himself, and he is kind-hearted, respects his teacher, and although he is young, he has a different opinion on national affairs than ordinary people, and he doesn't know who can teach such a disciple.

It's a pity that this military god doesn't know that Ye Chen has crossed over, and Ye Chen has seen more of all kinds of big people and big scenes, and a strange general will not make him worried.

"Brother, we're back." Zhang Qian pushed open the door and ran to Ye Chen's side.

"General." Yu De and Xu Chao entered the door and saluted.

Wang Zhitian nodded and said, "Ye Chen, if you want to join the army in the future, let Yu De send you over." In addition, if there is anything to do in Zhenyuan Mansion, it is good to find Yu De, and I still have some weight in speaking here. ”

"Thank you, General." Ye Chen got up and said.

"Well, let's go first, and we'll see you later." After Wang Zhitian finished speaking, he left with Yu De and Xu Chao.

"Red makeup, you should go back early today." Ye Chen looked at the red makeup and said.

Red makeup nodded and replied, "Well, goodbye brother, goodbye Qian'er." ”

"Goodbye, Sister Red Makeup." Zhang Qian smiled sweetly.

Ye Chen looked at the only two people left, himself and Zhang Qian, and asked, "Qian'er, did Uncle Yu and the other uncle ask you anything when they went out today?" ”

Zhang Qian held her chin and said, "They asked a lot about my brother, and they also asked who Qian'er's brother's teacher was. ”

"Then what did Qian'er say?" Ye Chen secretly said that they were really still curious about their mysterious teacher.

"Hmph, just say I don't know, even if Qian'er knows, she won't say it, and secretly ask Qian'er behind her brother's back, thinking that Qian'er doesn't understand anything when she is young." Zhang Qian said mischievously.

Ye Chen praised: "Qian'er is so smart. ”

"Really, brother?" Zhang Qian rolled her eyes and continued: "Qian'er is so smart, is it okay for my brother to tell me a story at night." ”

This little girl is really good at answering. Ye Chen replied: "For the sake of your hard work for so many days, my requirements will be met." ”

Red Makeup was completely shocked by Ye Chen today, after so many days of getting along, Red Makeup has learned from Zhang Qian that Ye Chen is a very easy-going and low-key person.

It's just that he didn't expect Ye Chen to be so powerful, and asked the dignified 'God of War' to invite him in person, but he seemed to refuse. It's a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise she would have wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the orcs to avenge the people who were brutally killed by those orcs.

Ye Chen watched the sleeping Zhang Qian quietly walk out and closed the door.

Wang Zhitian's arrival today surprised him very much, he thought that he would ask Yu De to take him to visit that day, but he came to find himself first.

Although Ye Chen didn't understand medical skills, he also found that what Yu De said was true, and Wang Zhitian's health was indeed not very good.

Although he rejected Wang Zhitian this time, Ye Chen was still very satisfied with this meeting, at least Wang Zhitian showed that he still admired him, and the most important thing was that what he said in the end to let Yu De take care of himself was also a disguised solicitation.

Ye Chen opened the door and walked to the two guards outside the door and asked them to help tell Yu De tomorrow, if he has time to come recently, he has something to discuss with Yu De.

In the General's Mansion, Wang Zhitian looked at Yu De and Xu Chao and asked, "Did you two ask anything today?" ”

Xu Chao looked at Yu De and then at Wang Zhitian and said: "General Qiyu, that little girl with red makeup didn't say a word this afternoon, as for that little girl Qian'er, she was just talking about how powerful Ye Chen was, and she didn't say anything useful." ”

"Then forget it, I talked a lot with Ye Chen this afternoon, and he is indeed a rare talent, but it's a pity that I couldn't let him join now. In the future, you will see if he needs anything, and if there is, take more care of him, and then you will all go down to help. Wang Zhitian said.

"Yes, my lord." The two replied.

Early the next morning, after Ye Chen got up and came to the yard, he suddenly found that the peony flowers in the yard were blooming, and suddenly remembered that it was April now.

Recall that it has been less than half a year since he came here, but the things he experienced have never been experienced before the crossing, and now Ye Chen often unconsciously forgets his former identity and slowly integrates with this era.
