King Ning didn't return to the palace until nearly nightfall, and he was tired, which suddenly made people look a little older.

The light in the study was still on until the third watch, and Bai Hao knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." The originally thick voice was only tired and helpless at this time, and his breath was a few points weaker.

Bai Hao closed the door and stepped forward to sit opposite the bookcase, "Is Dad still worried about Hu Ren's affairs?" ”

"Well," King Ning pinched his eyebrows, "The Hu people are menacing this time, and they are not easy to deal with, South Vietnam has not seen wolf smoke for a few years, this generation has lived a very peaceful life, and there are no outstanding generals, and it is really impossible to find it when he can be pulled out to be the boss for a while." His Majesty is still struggling with the power of the army. ”

"So what Your Majesty means ......," Bai Hao asked tentatively.

"Mao'er, I don't think it's likely to come back this time, and at that time, you will take care of Bai Wu for me."

Bai Hao twisted his eyebrows, "So Your Majesty is going to send your father on the expedition?" ”

King Ning smiled bitterly: "Isn't it? I didn't expect that at my age, there would be a day when I would take command again, and it would be considered a complete thing to die on the battlefield. ”

“......”

"Although Bai Wu is the prince, he will definitely be suppressed by all parties after inheriting the title, you can help him watch more for me."

These words sounded like last words.

"Dad, don't say this yet, there will be a turning point in this matter."

King Ning shook his head, "Your Majesty has issued an order that I will go to the north tomorrow, what kind of turn is there here." ”

"How many troops did South Vietnam send this time?"

"One hundred thousand—"

"What-" Bai Hao couldn't help but be surprised, "Your Majesty, this is crazy!" At present, the five tribes of the Hu people are only estimated to have 200,000 horses, and the real people and horses may be much more than that. 100,000 people, this is simply to want you to take these 100,000 people to death......"

King Ning let out a long sigh, "I don't know, over the years, there has been no war, and the Northern Lion Army of that year has also been distributed everywhere under various names. The only people who can be gathered now happen to be 100,000 people. Your Majesty is not only afraid of me, but also worried about the military power in my hands. His Majesty is suspicious and wants to get rid of the entire Northern Lion Army. Do you know what His Majesty said? ”

"What?"

King Ning snorted and said: "Your Majesty said, 'Your Northern Lion Army is famous for its courage and good fighting, and it is not a problem to fight with one enemy and ten, and now it is effortless to exterminate the Hu people with an army of 100,000 people'." Your Majesty, he regarded 100,000 people as a million people. ”

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

King Ning can be regarded as having accompanied His Majesty since he was a child, he was only from the side branch of the Bai family, and was sent to the palace to read to His Majesty today, the little prince of the year.

"Hehe......" King Ning chuckled, "This king became His Majesty's companion when he was eight years old, blocked the sword and tested poison for His Majesty at the age of fourteen, put on armor and went to battle at the age of sixteen to win political achievements for His Majesty, and killed the two kings of Qi and Yan at the age of eighteen to win the throne for His Majesty." Your Majesty named me the King of Ning, and I have a heavy army. For more than 20 years, I have fought in all directions for Your Majesty, expanded the territory, and exterminated the Hu people. Now he is covered with wounds, and the night is uneasy. Your Majesty, but he thinks that I am going to rebel......"

King Ning laughed loudly, laughing desolately, laughing so bitterly that the tip of the tongue was bitter.

Bai Hao has never been on the battlefield, he has never seen red blood staining yellow sand, and the iron horse treading dust and wind changing color. Before he could even draw his sword, he was escorted out of the capital of Northern Qi.

But he hated war, he hated the iron horseman, he hated all the smoke of gunpowder.

He will never forget-

His country, his former home, had collapsed into ashes just seven years ago under the ruthless iron riders of Dayan. Those he loved, and those he hated, died agonically before him. Everything he had was gone seven years ago. He will never forget that winter, the bitter cold wind, the thick smell of blood in the air, the billowing smoke almost obscuring the sky, the sound of swords and guns, the shouting of soldiers, the neighing of war horses, the hunting of flags, and the sound of horns. The blood congealed into ice on the snow, and most of the walls of Miyagi were destroyed and devastated......

The so-called war is just a chess game played by those in power who sacrifice the blood of the people and soldiers.

But this time, he wanted to go to the field to have a look.

Bai Hao got up, took two steps back and knelt down, "Lord Wang, although I am an outsider and have never experienced the battlefield, I have always read so many military books, and I can die on behalf of the prince to answer for saving my life." ”

"You ......"

Bai Hao interrupted him, "I am not a foreigner, and I will not do anything that harms South Vietnam, please rest assured." ”

Night was approaching, and King Ning ordered someone to light the candle flame, and used the candlelight to shine a large number of figures in front of him.

On the morning of the second day, when the holy decree came, King Ning did not come out to answer it.

Bai Hao stood in the secret room, looking at the armor glowing with silver light under the fire candle. The silver iron is cold and piercing, with the smell of blood across time and space, and the totem of the Bai family's ancestral emblem and the white lion's head tattooed on it makes the armor that already has a lot of weight even heavier.

The people outside the secret room urged several times, and Bai Hao finally ordered someone to take off this set of armor.

The one who received the order was the eldest son of King Ning, who was dressed in military uniform.

"My father's leg disease recurred last night and he couldn't stay, so he ordered me to take over the handsome order!"

The attendant who passed the decree looked at Bai Hao's gaze with some disdain and sarcasm, and said in a sharp voice: "Son, let's quickly unload this equipment and hand it over to the prince, you are still young, but you can't afford this cold iron." ”

Bai Hao sneered: "My father was recovering Suizhou at my age, so he was hit by a poisoned arrow in his leg, leaving an old disease, which has not been cured for many years, and the rain, snow and cold nights are even more unbearable. Tell your Majesty this, and ask Your Majesty, that I will come on my father's behalf. ”

An hour later, a decree came from the palace, ordering Bai Hao, the eldest son of King Ning, to take charge of the soldiers and command, to be the commander of the Northern Lion Army, and to go to the north with Bai Wu, the son of King Ning, as the deputy general.

King Ning listened to the will from a distance, and there was no wave on his face, he was not worried about what would happen to Bai Wu, but felt that this was an excellent time to sharpen people, even if Bai Wu died on the battlefield, at least it was not a wreck.

Bai Hao came in and knelt down on the edge of the couch, "The child will definitely do his best to protect the second brother, please rest assured." ”

"In such troubled times, are there still few innocent people? Whoever is not innocent, who is not a victim. Life, inherently very cheap. Wan Qizhi's thin lips pursed slightly, looking at the lake in the distance.

Life, inherently very cheap.

Murong Jin furrowed his brows and diverted the topic, "Did you go to great lengths to bring me here just to talk to me about these gossip?" ”

Wan Qizhi glanced at Murong Jin lightly, "Although it is gossip, it is not useless. At least it made you understand where you are, didn't you? ”

Murong Jin said lightly: "Although he is nominally the prince's son, he does not have the support of half of the maternal family, although he has Murong as his surname, he has the blood of the Northern Qi royal family, so he is also a trouble for his father." The son is valued by the mother, and the mother loses power, and it is the easiest person to get rid of. There are only a lot more people in the palace who are staring at my life now. I have the name of a prince, but this Dayan royal family has no shortage of princes. Uncle thinks, how long will I live? ”

Wan Qizhi got up and paced closer to Murong Jin, with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Yes, but also very smart." If you are so smart, wouldn't it be a pity to die? I can live until now, and I naturally have the ability to let you live for a few more years. You and I don't contradict each other, how about making a deal? ”
