Seeing that Ling Xingyue didn't reply, Steward Liu continued to whisper worriedly:

"This is also the scheming of today's saints, you are the only inheritance of our palace, he wants to know if you can be as brave and resolute as the old prince, resourceful and invincible, but he is not willing to take a large team of men and horses to you to command, to put it bluntly, it is to practice, if you can win this time, then you will inevitably be recruited to return to Beijing in the future, and entrusted with a heavy task, if you lose this time, the death is just all your henchmen, soldiers and soldiers on the grassland pasture, the secret report also said that the old subordinates of the old prince's henchmen will also be sent to the grassland, But they kept all their families in the capital, which was to cut off all the foundations of the old prince in one fell swoop. ”

Ling Xingyue immediately understood, the current saint is worried, if he is a useless first-class soldier, then the court does not want to raise himself like this anymore, and is worried that if he is defeated and killed, many of the old prince's old subordinates will be resentful, so he simply sent all of you to this grassland, if you are defeated, then you are in the grassland, or die in battle, or are willing to return to Beijing alone, take away your military power, and then reward, it also seems to be the kindness of the court.

If you win, and the little prince is lucky enough not to die, then restore the glory of your palace, but those few henchmen will also be transferred away from your side, and from now on they will be directly under the command of the emperor, and Ling Xingyue is still a first-class military candidate, if there is another border war, you still need to go out to kill the enemy, but it will definitely not let your family dominate again.

This is also the royal emperor's technique, the simplest one, Ling Xingyue's hundred-year cultivation is not in vain, these tricks can still be understood at a glance.

Steward Liu was worried, and his face was faintly revealed, and he finally thought about it again and again:

"If you decide to fight this time, you and Young Master Situ must be indispensable, but the two of you, after all, you are still young and have not experienced any war, I am really worried, worried ......"

Ling Xingyue saw that Steward Liu couldn't bear to say it directly, so she took it directly:

"You're worried that Situ and I will both die on the frontier, right?"

After speaking, Ling Xingyue stood up and said proudly:

"This grassland pasture is a piece of land that I will protect even if I fight for my life, you can rest assured, I have not read the military book for many years, and I have not recorded the art of war of the old prince in vain, until now, when I came to have nothing to do, I always read the war records left by the old prince, and Situ is even more so, Sijin Yaosi, the chief steward has not broken off his military teaching, just a few Warat bandits, not enough to worry about, don't worry too much."

Ling Xingyue paced a few steps in the room, and asked strangely:

"But how come I haven't heard of this Warat bandit invading the pasture in this grassland?"

Steward Liu replied in a low voice:

"Our grassland pastures are very vast, and on the edge of our pastures, there are also a few smaller grassland pastures, which are divided into other military and civilian officials, but they have not been stationed in their pastures for a long time, and they are all ordinary herdsmen, so not many people care about the lives of those herdsmen.

In addition, once they are harassed, the herdsmen have no other way but to escape, but in this way, they will lose a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses, and when it is time to pay tribute, these herdsmen will be even more miserable. ”

Ling Xingyue nodded, and said with a heavy heart:

"It seems that in the near future, I will inevitably be recruited back to the capital by Kuaima to discuss this matter, even if it is a good horse, it will take half a month or even more than a month to go back this time, and then I am afraid that there will be a war on this pasture."

If I go back to Beijing to report on my work, the safety of this grassland pasture, you and Si Jinyao's four major management affairs must be strengthened, especially the Lan family, be sure to protect them, fortunately now the snow is freezing and the wind is cold, and the spring cold is still vicious, if two months later, when the pasture is abundant, the cattle and sheep are scattered everywhere, I am afraid that this bandit will be even more rampant, we must beware of their stragglers harassing or even taking the opportunity to steal our cattle, sheep and horses. ”

Steward Liu nodded his head in approval, and then talked about some things in Sifu:

"Little prince, if the imperial court really wants you to lead the troops to fight against this group of thieves who are disturbing the frontier grassland, then Sijia will definitely try his best to participate in the war.

Especially Si Da Steward, I think that he was also the old prince's right-hand man back then, but the old prince really didn't worry about someone else to manage this huge grassland, so he arranged for Si Jinyao, a powerful henchman, to come here.

Although this grassland is far away from the capital and bitter cold, it is the largest pasture in my Ling Wangfu after all, and it is also the most basic and fundamental guarantee for the old prince.

In fact, when the old prince was alive, he once mentioned that if one day, none of the descendants of my palace has the talent of a general, and no one will fight on the battlefield for the saint, then this grassland pasture is the last place for our Ling Wangfu to retreat. ”

Speaking of this, Steward Liu thought of the old prince's earnest entrustment when he entrusted Ling Xingyue to him:

"Steward Liu, I now entrust Ling Xingyue, this child to you, he has a straight temper since he was a child, although he doesn't seem to be short, but you and I both know that his physique has not been very strong, and he has always had some children's temperament, I have also looked for famous doctors in the capital to help him see, all of them said that they were brought from his mother's womb, and he may be like this for the rest of his life."

The old prince said this, and the fatherly affection of the fist was overflowing on his face, and he was no longer like the decisive appearance he usually did.

Steward Liu suddenly burst into tears, knowing that this was the meaning of the old prince who was worried that he had an accident on the battlefield that day and asked himself to be alone, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he had already knelt on the ground, listening to the old prince's instructions and instructions:

"If Ling Xingyue does not make great progress in the future, then the glory and love bestowed by the Holy Lord will inevitably be withdrawn one day.

But after all, he will still remember the contribution made by me, a confidant old man, to the dynasty, and he will not go too far for a while, if the descendants of the Ling family have been doing nothing and have no merits on the battlefield, then my Ling family will definitely not forcibly occupy the position of a first-class military candidate, and will not do things that have made great contributions to the country and the people.

If at that time, you assist Xingyue to take the initiative to write to the imperial court, and say that my Ling family is willing to automatically retreat to this Lanke ranch, voluntarily raise horses for our imperial court, and no longer occupy the important position of this military candidate, the saint will still agree, then you can still protect the rich and ordinary life of our Ling family's bloodline. ”
