Chapter 238: All Achievements Lost (1)
Lan Xin's words were sour, and Rui Cai hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't think so, do you know who I saw on the way here?" β
Lan Xin glanced at her, and before she could speak, she heard Rui Cai's words: "The concubine saw the noble Xi coming back from the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace. β
Lan Xin snorted coldly and said: "This palace knows that before she left Weiyang Palace, His Majesty sent Fuqing to look for her, what a foxy face." β
Rui Cairen said with some schadenfreude: "However, when the concubine saw her, she saw that she looked uneasy, walked in a hurry, and bumped into the concubine on the way, so I thought it was a little distracted, it seems that she should have been reprimanded by His Majesty." β
When Lan Xin heard this, she straightened up and said, "Is this serious?" β
Rui Cairen nodded affirmatively and said: "Naturally, it is true, where does the concubine dare to use such a thing to deceive the mother, it seems that some things may not be as the mother thinks." β
As he was talking, a little eunuch ran in from outside the door, panting, Linglong frowned and said, "Bold, Niangniang is in the palace, what are you doing so flustered?" β
The little eunuch suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Niangniang, good newsβgood newsβ"
Lan Xin said: "What's the good news?" β
The little eunuch said happily: "The will that just came out of His Majesty's Heart Nourishing Palace, because of the young master's merit, His Majesty rewarded a lot of things and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and also promised that as long as the young master returns triumphantly this time, he can be promoted to captain." β
Lan Xin stood up abruptly and said, "Is the news serious?" β
The little eunuch said: "Naturally, it's true, presumably the holy decree has already arrived in the Lan Mansion at this timeββ"
Linglong smiled: "This is really good news, at first I thought that His Majesty just praised the young master, but I didn't want this reward to come down immediately." β
Lan Xin said with a smile: "Presumably at this time, my father and mother must be very happy, Linglong, you go to the treasury, choose some good things, and send them back, then it is the intention of the palace." β
Linglong responded with a smile, and immediately went down to do it, and Rui Cairen also said with a smile on her face: "Look, what did the concubine say?" It seems that the gift given by the concubine is still light. β
Lan Xin is in a very good mood now, she glanced at Rui Cairen with disgust and said, "You can speak." β
The news that Rambo received the reward spread throughout the palace and outside for a while, and the Lan Mansion also followed the limelight, and a few days later, the holy decree reached Liangcheng.
At this time, Lan Bo and the others were stationed in Liangcheng, and when Xu Tong and Wang Qi received the holy decree, they glanced at each other, with a complicated look in their eyes, but Lan Bo was full of pride.
At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up and saluted to Rambo: "My subordinates congratulate the lord in advance on his appointment to the lord." β
Lan Bo smiled loudly, his eyes were arrogant and confident, he personally helped the man up and said: "This is all thanks to Mr. Liang, if I die without Mr. Liang's help, I guess I can't be like a bamboo, and take Liangcheng by chance." β
The middle-aged man, with a silver mask on his face, half of his face was covered, and only angular cheeks could be seen.
He said: "The subordinates just gave the main general advice, as for being able to subdue Liangcheng, it is still your credit, otherwise, Your Majesty will not be rewarded so far." β
As he was talking, Wang Qi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Tong, Xu Tong preemptively said: "Commander, my subordinates are going to inspect the city, so I will leave first." β
Rambo looked at the two of them, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." β
Wang Qi's face was full of resentment, and he was pulled back by Xu Tong.
Seeing the two of them go out, Lan Bo snorted coldly, Liang Qi looked at the two people who disappeared at the door, and lowered his eyes slightly: "The two subordinates of the boss seem to be a little unconvinced?" β
Lan Bo said: "Hmph, it's just two cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, before, what did they think about attacking Liangcheng?" What they think about is Xu Xu Tuzhi, they are afraid of wolves in the front, and they are afraid of tigers in the back, so they are afraid of cowering, now that Liangcheng has been defeated, and His Majesty's reward has also arrived, now they feel that I am not worthy of my name, so they are naturally unhappy. β
A hint of darkness flashed in Liang Qi's eyes, and he said as if unintentionally: "The two lieutenant generals are both capable people under the general, and it is inevitable to think about things more thoroughly, but according to local conditions, wild people are reckless and act directly. β
When Rambo heard Liang Qi say this, he said as if he had found a soulmate: "Mr. Liang is right. β
The two talked happily, but on the city tower, Xu Tong frowned tightly, as if he was worried about something, Wang Qi said, "What are you pulling me to do?" β
Xu Tong sighed and said, "If I don't pull you, maybe you have to say something." β
Wang Qi snorted coldly and said, "What if I said it?" No, can't you let it be said? I can't stand it, Your Majesty can only see the result, but not the process, Xu Tong, let me ask you, yes, we took Liangcheng back, but what is the price? Yes? The price was the blood and lives of those brothers. β
Wang Qi's voice suddenly raised a lot, causing the people stationed at the city gate to turn their heads sideways, Xu Tong pulled him aside and said, "I know you feel distressed, why don't I feel sorry for those brothers?" We've all fought side by side, but what can we say about the situation like this? Or, do you think he will be able to listen to what we say? β
Wang Qi was full of dissatisfaction and said, "How about that?" Do you want him to continue to do this? β
Xu Tong sighed and said: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is not Rambo, but the Mr. Liang next to him, I always feel that this person is very strange, I can see that he has a strategy, but how can such a person be reduced to the point of being captured by the enemy?" β
Yes, Liang Qi was rescued by Rambo from the people of the Savage Land, and because of Liang Qi's talents, Rambo stayed by his side as a strategist.
Seeing that Xu Tong doubted Liang Qi's identity, Wang Qi also said: "When you say this, I am also a little skeptical, you say, this wild person can capture our two cities in a row, does it have anything to do with this person?" β
Xu Tong shook his head and said: "I can't say this yet, but this person has to be guarded against, as for Rambo, do you remember what His Majesty once said?" β
Wang Qi was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" β
Xu Tong said solemnly: "The general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, besides, Your Majesty asked us to assist him, but these brothers, I am afraid that they will listen to us even more." I guess you don't want to send our people to death anymore. β
Wang Qimu nodded.
While the two were talking, a soldier ran up from the city tower, knelt on the ground and said, "Vice General Wang, Vice General Xu, the main general is invited, and please go to the big tent quickly." β
The two glanced at each other, and Xu Tong said, "Okay, we know, you go down first, and we'll go over immediately." β
The soldier was ordered to retreat, and Xu Tong instructed Wang Qi uneasily: "For a while, no matter what you say, don't speak, everything is with me." β
Wang Qi nodded impatiently and said, "I know, go over and see what moths they are going to produce." β
When the two arrived at the inner account, they saw a marching map on the table of Rambo, their expressions were joyful, and when they saw the two, they beckoned: "Come on, Mr. Liang and I have come up with a way to recover another city." β
Xu Tong frowned, stepped forward with Wang Qi, only to see Lan Bo pointing to the city and saying: "Now we only have this city to recover, and if we recover this city, we can completely drive the barbarian bandits out of my calendar." β
Xu Tongdao: "Having said that, but this city is not as good as Liangcheng, its terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we forcibly attack, we will definitely lose our troops, and if it is not bad for a while, it will be wasted." β
Rambo snorted coldly in displeasure and said, "When I attacked Liangcheng that day, you said the same thing, don't you still discuss this matter in Liangcheng now?" β
Xu Tong said with some embarrassment: "Although Liangcheng has been attacked, our losses are also very serious, if it is that day-"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Rambo say coldly: "Enough, which battle can not lose the army?" For the sake of my calendar, what is this sacrifice? β
Wang Qi listened to Xu Tong's words before and didn't want to argue with Lan Bo, but when he saw Lan Bo's face, the anger in his heart couldn't hold back anymore, and he said angrily: "Lan Gongzi, I, Wang Qi, am a rough person, I don't understand your big truths, but I am also on the battlefield, don't be afraid of rolling down, there is one thing, I have to say, these brothers are also raised by their parents, and some even have families, you don't care about human life like this, what kind of general are you doing!" β
Xu Tongxin was secretly annoyed, and he snorted coldly: "Wang Qi, what are you talking nonsense?" β
Lan Bo threw the things in his hand on the table, walked to Wang Qi's side step by step and said, "Then according to your meaning, am I not worthy of being the main general?" β
Wang Qi was angry and said angrily: "In short, I don't agree with a hard attack." β
Rambo added, "What if I order you to go?" β
Wang Qi took off the helmet on his head without fear, slammed it on the ground and said, "Then my subordinates can't receive orders." β
Rambo smiled: "Okay, very good, Your Majesty ordered me to be the commander, you are the deputy general, if you don't listen to my orders, you will blatantly violate military regulations, Xu Tong-"
Xu Tong immediately stepped forward and said: "Commander, Wang Qi is straight, he doesn't mean that, but this matter should indeed be considered in the long run." β
Rambo looked at Xu Tong and said: "Xu Tong, I know that you have a relationship with Wang Qi, but you have also seen it, he is blatantly disobeying military orders, if I don't deal with him today, how should I explain to the soldiers in the future?" Or, do you all learn one and one and don't take me into account? His voice was gloomy, Xu Tong just looked at Wang Qi with an embarrassed face, and said, "My subordinates don't dare." β
