Chapter 12: Expectations Come to Nothing
After seeing the military parade of the 20th century, Bi Chenggong still felt a strong shock when he looked at the military parade of the Darong Dynasty. The difference between the twentieth century and this ancient period is mainly due to the high technology, and the military discipline and military prestige displayed by the Darong Dynasty during the military parade and the ability of soldiers to fight and deploy defense immediately also made Bi Chenggong very happy. With such a well-trained army, coupled with the knowledge he has learned in the 21st century, Bi Chenggong is full of confidence in this battle.
And as a military advisor who went out to the army of the Darong Dynasty, Bi Chenggong had too many things to worry about. Therefore, when the ministers followed the emperor Murong Yan into the big tent to hide from the rain, Bi Chenggong stayed outside the tent. A soldier quickly brought an umbrella to Bi Chenggong, Bi Chenggong couldn't help but smile and thank him, the soldier pointed to the side, Bi Chenggong saw General Sikong who stayed outside the tent like himself, he was watching the soldiers set up tents in a neat and orderly manner.
Facing Bi Chenggong's gaze, General Sikong nodded silently, with no expression on his face. However, after getting along for a while, Bi Chenggong knew that this Sikong general had always had this expressionless face. Bi Chenggong couldn't help but smile, since this period of time, not only has Emperor Murong Yan become more and more trusting of Bi Chenggong, but this Sikong general has also ignored and contempt Bi Chenggong from the beginning to the current eyes.
Bi Chenggong is most pleased and proud that this time it is the emperor's personal expedition, seeking to have a military division himself, and there will be a general Sikong. It is reaching the "one of the powerful soldiers" in the Art of War. If there was no emperor, Bi Chenggong really didn't know if the Sikong general in front of him would be obedient to him. If there is no emperor, General Sikong at that time is the real boss, will he still obey his own plans! Fortunately, such worries are unnecessary.
The significance of this expedition for Bi Chenggong is not only to help Murong Yan realize his dream of reunification, but more importantly, to be able to accompany the emperor's army and get along overnight. What is missing in the army? Woman. And no matter how wise and lofty the emperor is, he is still a man, and as long as he finds a suitable opportunity, Bi Chenggong believes that restoring his identity is just around the corner. If this expedition takes the Cangmu Kingdom in one fell swoop, then Bi Chenggong will have more protection to put his son on the throne of the prince!
If a person wants to live a life of ordinary mediocrity, of course, he can live a chaotic life. But if you want to reach the highest position, how can you gain without paying. Even Yan Yue, didn't she suffer a lot of sins to this day, and almost died a few times? But whoever has the last laugh is the most beautiful! Love, however, is made up. Love is born of love. As long as he can keep Murong Yan in bed, won't Murong Yan have a long-term affection for him? What's more, Murong Yan needs a woman who can rule the world with him!
Bi Chenggong's lips flashed a smile that was bound to win, but there was a thunder in his ears, followed by the sound of falling to the ground, Bi Chenggong only felt a chill in his heart, and the soldiers in the room exclaimed: "The tree was broken by thunder!" Then there was another rumbling sound, and this time not far in front of Bi Chenggong, a tree fell to the ground again.
Bi Chenggong only felt a chill on his body, and walked quickly to the general of the Sikong and said loudly: "Tell the soldiers, don't hide from the rain under the big tree, let alone use your hands to support the big tree, hurry up and set up a tent and hide in the tent." ”
"Please go into the tent to take shelter from the rain, and leave it to General Ben here." General Sikong said with a smile, and immediately ordered the guards around him to quickly pass down the order.
Bi Chenggong smiled, turned around and wanted to walk towards the tent, but a man dressed as a guard hurriedly greeted him, and said respectfully: "Lord Bi, the emperor was drenched in water just now, and I want to use some ginger soup, please Lord Bi quickly go and prepare to send it to the palace." Bi Chenggong couldn't help frowning, where can there be ginger soup in this wilderness, so he can only find General Sikong to see how to solve it.
General Sikong really has a way, and after waiting for a while, a guard brought a bowl of ginger soup, and it looked steaming. Fortunately, at this time, the thunder was quiet and far away, only the heavy rain kept falling. Refusing the soldier's help, Bi Chenggong carefully held the umbrella in one hand and the ginger soup in the other, thinking that he would hand the ginger soup to Murong Yan in a while, and Bi Chenggong's heart swelled with some anticipation.
There was silence in the hall, and the quiet atmosphere was a little weird, and Bi Chenggong's movements suddenly froze at the door of the tent due to the kneeling state of all the ministers in the tent.
What's going on? The emperor is angry? Could it be because today's military parade encountered such a thunderstorm? But isn't today's military parade very satisfying to the emperor? What is it that makes all the ministers kneel? Murong Yan's mind was thinking quickly, but his knees quickly fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, ginger soup is here, do you want to drink it now." ”
With a wave of Murong Yan's sleeve, the tea cup placed on the table in front of him fell to the ground with a "pop", and the silence was clearly heard in the big tent, and even the sound of the tea cup rolling was very distinct, and then in Bi Chenggong's heart trembling, the tea cup rolled in front of Bi Chenggong so impartially. Bi Chenggong's heart was all pulled together, and he really couldn't figure out how the emperor, who was fine just now, and the courtiers who were safe just now, could change their appearance in a blink of an eye. This time, Bi Chenggong's eyes involuntarily looked at Prime Minister Wang.
"The emperor is angry, the gods have entered the world, and the thunder is warning, why don't the emperor comply with the will of heaven to cancel the imperial expedition, obey the mandate of heaven, and believe that heaven will bless me to win the banner of the Darong Dynasty." Prime Minister Wang obviously felt the silent gaze from Bi Chenggong, and mustered up the courage to reply loudly, the sound echoing in the silent tent, accompanied by the thunder outside the tent, which had a mysterious effect.
Bi Chenggong's body trembled involuntarily, what is a god dreaming? Whose dream did the gods fall into? What is a thunder warning? What warning does the thunder indicate? It's just a moment of effort, who is talking nonsense in front of the emperor! Say what to cancel the royal drive and follow the mandate of heaven! For a moment, Bi Chenggong's eyes swept over the uncivilized and military officials.
Qin Tianjian! Could it be that he became the chief and deputy envoy of Qin Tianjian! Bi Chenggong's gloomy gaze finally fell on the body of the chief and deputy envoy of the Qin Heavenly Prison. If it was something else, Bi Chenggong might choose to shut up wisely at this time, but this is the road back to the palace that Bi Chenggong personally created, the road to the prince paved for his son, and the road to love full of hope, so Bi Chenggong at this time will not dodge, but will only move forward bravely.
"May I ask Prime Minister Wang, what is a god dreaming? What is a thunder warning? Although he suspected that this matter was inseparable from Qin Tianjian, Bi Chenggong, who was furious, still directly chose Prime Minister Wang Cheng to ask. Don't add stones in front of yourself at any time, this is the first precept for Bi Chenggong to embark on a career in office.
"Master Bi, just after the emperor left the parade platform, did the thunder knock down the big tree next to the parade platform? Master Bi should have seen it with his own eyes outside the tent, may I ask if it is a thunderous warning! As for the gods dreaming, all the adults here can tell you what it means to be a god dreaming. At this time, the emperor drove his own conquest of the heavens, and the god of the court will bless Darong to dominate the country and be glorious for eternity. This time, it was the Qin Heavenly Eunuch Envoy who replied directly.
"Your Majesty, this thunder knocking down a big tree is a common thing in thunderstorms, if the emperor and your lords don't believe it, you can casually ask the farmers in the mountains if such things are common, don't be so rash and contact with my emperor's personal expedition, please think twice!" Bi Chenggong only felt that his mind was bored, and he did not directly reply to the words of the envoy of Qin Tianjian, but said to the emperor Murong Yan. Lightning knocks down big trees, which is almost a common occurrence in the wild during thunderstorms, is this considered a warning of thunder! How could there be such terrible words as "The emperor drove his own army to invade the heavens, and the gods of the court will bless Darong to unify the country and the glory of eternity"!
"Lord Bi didn't know that not long after he entered the account just now, all the ministers in the account saw the gods with their own eyes, and the gods asserted that the emperor must not drive in person." The emperor did not answer Bi Chenggong's words, and Prime Minister Wang quickly replied.
"Dare to ask what the gods are like?" Bi Chenggong asked, there was a feeling that he was about to faint, everyone had seen God, this was really a hell of a blue sky!
"Of course, the god is the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering." The envoy replied quickly.
"Yes, Master Bi don't doubt it anymore, the gods in the big tent just now and I saw it with our own eyes, and the words of the gods must be obeyed!" This time, the ministers echoed one by one.
The sweat on Bi Chenggong's forehead rolled down his cheeks and fell into the ginseng soup he was holding in his hand, and there was a clear crackling sound. In just such a moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly came to the big tent, and all the ministers saw it with their own eyes, how could this be possible! Could it be that the gods are really here?
"What else does Master Bi say?" Emperor Murong Yan's voice came clearly, but Bi Chenggong's dazed brain could clearly distinguish the anger in the emperor's words. Murong Yan has always hoped to conquer the world like Qin Shi Huang, who unified the six countries, but just when he was ambitiously developing his ambitions, he suddenly had this pro-conquest of the heavens, can the emperor not be angry!
"Back to the emperor, the minister has never seen the gods, so he doesn't believe it." Bi Chenggong replied boldly in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, there are three no's for a Buddha, the first is that the Buddha can't turn karma for sentient beings, the second is that the Buddha can't cross the undestined people, and the third is that the Buddha can't cross the unbelievers. Lord Bi had no chance to see the gods, and he had thoughts of unbelief in the affairs of the gods, so it was better for Lord Bi to be silent about this royal conquest, and not to attract evil anger for the emperor. Xuanyuan Yaohui slowly replied clearly, because the sweat of this sentence was wet again, and he was speechless for a while.
"Spread the decree, the gods predicted that General Sikong led the army to conquer Cangmu, and he will return to the dynasty in victory, and I am waiting for the good news of the victory of the army in Darong!" Murong Yan's voice came clearly, and Bi Chenggong's body softened, and he actually sat down on the ground, and the ginger soup in his hand was also scattered on the ground. Seeing Murong Yan leading the ministers past him, until there was no one left in the big tent, Bi Chenggong's tears fell uncontrollably, he had been preparing for so long, how could he lose to this god!
Slowly getting up, his gaze Murong Yan fell on the tea cup on the ground, and Bi Chenggong picked it up almost subconsciously. Tomorrow, the emperor will no longer drive the expedition in person, but Bi Chenggong will still be the military advisor of the army, and he will leave him tomorrow, only hoping that this teacup contaminated with his breath can bring him a little sustenance, and bless himself to return triumphantly one day!
