Chapter 110: Battle
Looking at the figure of Rentian waking up the three of them to go back to the bedroom, Zhao Fei's lips moved, and it seemed that there was still something to say to Rentian.
Rentian and the three of them staggered down in the bedroom, and slept until noon, and the four who woke up found that they were drunk again last night, and Rentian stretched his waist and said to the three of Zhize who woke up: "This kind of rìzi can't go on any longer, otherwise our time will be spent drinking, and our cultivation will stagnate." ”
As soon as Rentian's words were finished, Sikong Lanruo's voice calling Rentian sounded outside the door, and after Rentian motioned for Sikong Lanruo to come into the bedroom, Sikong Lanruo said: "There are people outside looking for Chen Qifan, it seems that there is something urgent." ”
When Rentian and Chen Qifan came to the hall, they saw a palace guard looking at them anxiously and said, "The eldest prince, the emperor is looking for you to discuss matters, and the time for a stick of incense has been delayed, so the eldest prince should go quickly." ”
Hearing the guard's words, Chen Qifan took a step and walked towards the palace, and the guard who stayed behind continued: "The emperor has also instructed all the adults, and you also need to go with the eldest prince." ”
Rentian was very strange why the emperor asked them to go to the discussion with Chen Qifan, could it be that they went to assassinate the three princes with Chen Qifan last night?
Thinking that he went to meet the emperor this time, and that the emperor might take the opportunity to set up an ambush to arrest them because of the death of the three princes, Rentian whispered to Sikong Lanruo and the others: "Wake up the god jīng, this time we went to be summoned by the emperor, maybe what we did last night has been revealed, and something will be wrong later, we will immediately fight a bloody way." ”
Hearing Rentian's abrupt reminder, Zhi Ze and the others couldn't help but tighten their hearts immediately, and the weapons in their hands couldn't help but clench a little, although their cultivation strength was very strong, but if the emperor had the intention to set up an ambush to arrest them, it was unknown whether the five of them could break out of the encirclement, even if the five of them could escape, it would be difficult for Xiaoyan who stayed in the palace with Rentian to escape.
"Instead of waiting for someone to set up an ambush and arrest him, it's better to escape from the palace now, Rentian, let's not go, quickly turn around and pick up Xiaoyan and escape." After following Rentian for a while, Zhi Ze said.
"Let's go and see if the emperor has anything to explain to us, if we run away like this now, we can't explain when we return to the sect, and the emperor really intends to arrest us, he should have sent troops to surround us while we were sleeping, we should be calmer at this time, if there is really an accident later, you can escape from the palace first, and I will come back to pick up Xiaoyan."
Rentian, who stabilized his mind and thought, refuted Zhi Ze's suggestion, and the emperor found out that they assassinated the three princes last night, which was just a guess, and if they were scared to retreat from the palace by a guess, it would be too unreliable.
Following Chen Qifan into the council hall, the five people of Rentian immediately observed the environment around the palace, and after careful observation by the five people, they did not find that there were guards hiding in the dark in the palace.
In the empty palace, the emperor of the Imperial Fang Kingdom looked at Chen Qifan and the five Sorrowful Immortal Sect cultivators in strong suits, and his eyes couldn't help flashing the corpse of the three princes he saw last night, the death of the three princes brought him a great shock, and in addition to being shocked, he also thought about some things.
When the three princes have not died, he, the lord of a country above 10,000 people, often worries about who will succeed to the throne, there were originally eight princes in the imperial country, two of which were included in the candidates who can inherit the throne, the three princes are witty and know how to win people's hearts, and the eldest prince is elegant and humble, can endure it, these two are his heart's choices, and now that the three princes are dead, he no longer has to think too much about the choice of the successor to the throne.
Looking at Chen Qifan's face, the emperor stared at the candidate in his mind, the death of the third prince last night made him think about it all night, and he finally did not rule out the suspicion that the eldest prince killed the third prince, the third prince did a lot of things to secretly kill the princes, he knew a little about these things, and secretly mobilized a lot of people to stop it, the third prince was very aimed at Chen Qifan during his lifetime, and he couldn't guess whether the death of the third prince was Chen Qifan's hand.
"Wu'er, do you know what I have called you here today." The emperor said.
"Father, the child doesn't know."
Looking at the five Rentian people who got up together beside him, Chen Qifan said suspiciously.
"The third prince died yesterday, and I figured out a lot of things."
The emperor said something that made Chen Qifan's six people's hearts beat faster, and Chen Qifan secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, could it be that his father was hinting at what they did last night.
The emperor didn't think of what Chen Qifan was thinking in his heart, and after coughing twice, the emperor said: "The frontier is in an emergency, and the foreigners are surging to attack, how much do you know about these things." ”
When the frontier is urgent, the emperor's killing intent can not be concealed from the eyes, there are many lands near the ocean in the Huangfang country, and there are many foreigners on the other side of the ocean, these foreigners are in a country where materials are scarce, a year ago, hundreds of huge sailing ships of foreigners landed on the territory of the Huangfang country without warning, and the foreigners who grabbed a place have continuously sent troops to attack the inland land of the Huangfang, trying to plunder more materials, the Huangfang country occupies the advantage of local warfare, and the menacing foreigners in the future are blocked by 3,000 kilometers from the coastline. And has been in a state of confrontation, and now the Imperial Fang State has gathered the forces of the entire country, ready to defeat the invading foreigners in one fell swoop.
Hearing the emperor talk about the invasion of the imperial fang country by foreigners, Chen Qifan's tense feelings in his heart couldn't help but relax, and Chen Qifan was also very concerned about the war of the foreigners' invasion of the imperial fang country, so he expressed his views to the fullest at the moment, and the emperor nodded from time to time.
"I have recruited you today to prepare to appoint you as the deputy marshal, so that you can go to the front line with the marshal to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions." The emperor said something that made Chen Qifan dumbfounded, and it was too abrupt to let a person who had never experienced a war go to the front line as a deputy marshal to kill the enemy.
This decision is not a whim of the emperor, in the eyes of the emperor, what Chen Qifan, the heir to the throne, lacks is the decisive spirit to kill, which can be seen from the fact that before the death of the third prince, Chen Qifan was repeatedly assassinated, let Chen Qifan be the deputy marshal instead of the marshal, so that the war will not have irreversible accidents because of Chen Qifan.
"Rentian five, I have summoned you to come so that you can accompany the eldest prince to the battle line to protect the safety of the eldest prince." The emperor then said something that surprised the five of Rentian, and Ke Xiwu whispered to Rentian beside him: "Rentian, we are the royal family members who have come to protect the palace, and we are not obliged to fight for the imperial country, how could the emperor let us go to the front line." ”
"In the event of war, if necessary, we must accompany the royal family to the battlefield."
The deacon's pamphlet to Rentian has a detailed explanation, the Huangfang Kingdom is in an emergency, and they stationed in the Huangfang Kingdom are indeed obliged to fight with them, and Rentian has no reason to refuse, so Rentian said: "The five of us will accompany the eldest prince to the battle line and do a good job of protecting the eldest prince." ”
"The troops from all over the Imperial Fang Kingdom are almost complete, and the six of you will set off today and rush to the front line." After the emperor said this, he waved his hand and motioned for the six people of Rentian to retreat.
