"Chen Ying has seen all of you!" Chen Ying came to the tent and bowed to the drunken governors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Mr. Chen, get up!" Li Shouzhi waved his hand and said.
"No." Chen Ying agreed, and immediately got up from the cashmere carpet.
"How's the battle going today?" Li Shouzhi asked knowingly.
The green tendons on Chen Ying's head jumped, but she still endured herself and replied: "Back to Li Xiang, the last general is incompetent, and he has lost five camps in a row!" β
"Really? That's a lot to lose! A governor quipped with drunken eyes.
Suddenly, the other governors burst into laughter.
Li Shouzhi also smiled, and said to Chen Ying, who was pale: "Thank you General Chen, tomorrow will still be like this, as long as you don't lose more than six camps, this official will forgive you for your innocence!" β
Chen Ying's fists were about to bleed, and he said with some eagerness: "Li Xiang, the soldiers under the command of the last general fought fiercely for a day today, and suffered heavy losses, if you go to fight the thieves again without resting, I am afraid that they will collapse!" β
Li Shouzhi's expression was a little unhappy, Chen Ying was just a martial artist, and he dared to contradict him, the leader of the princes' alliance, it was really an ambitious leopard's guts!
However, he managed to retain a little sense, but said with a hesitant face: "In this case, then you will rest tomorrow, and the official will change someone else for you." β
"What about the soldiers' pensions? After a day of hard fighting today, more than 3,000 brothers were lost under the command of the last general alone! Seeing that he didn't mention the casualty compensation, Chen Ying hurriedly reminded.
Li Shouzhi's expression became even more ugly, and he glared at Chen Ying and said, "Wufu is really a vulgar thing!" Nothing more than wanting money?! This official will give it to you! Get out of here, and don't disturb this elegant place again! β
Chen Ying's whole body trembled with anger, but the civil officials had been accumulating authority in his heart for a long time, and even if the world was in chaos right now, he didn't have the courage to tear his face with the other party, so he just made a stiff salute at the moment, and strode out of the Zhongjun tent.
Li Shouzhi thinks that he Chen Ying is a layman and will disturb his poetry, and he Chen Ying is not uncommon to stay in that place full of sour and rotten smell!
"Boss!"
Staring at Chen Ying's back, Li Shouzhi's gaze became gloomy, if it weren't for the fact that this was the time to employ people, a martial artist like Chen Ying, whose backbone had not been broken, he Li Shouzhi would have found a crime to deal with him a long time ago, how could he keep him until now?
After Chen Ying left, the Chinese military tent returned to its previous elegance.
And what the civil officials didn't know was that an originally loyal military minister had already chilled because of their words and deeds!
The more Chen Ying thought about what happened just now, the more angry she became, and in the end, she simply left the camp, found a big tree, pulled out a long knife and slashed wildly!
"We fought bloodily in front, but you enjoyed lavishly in the back!"
"We lost five camps, and our hearts were full of humiliation! But you don't care, and you treat the loss of your teacher and your land as child's play! β
"We are vulgar and vulgar things, you are elegant and famous! But every time there is a disaster of war, why don't you see your poetry and songs come in handy?! β
By the end of the shout, Chen Ying had burst into tears.
"General Chen, I have never understood why you Eastern warriors should submit to a group of weak people who are powerless. Now I understand that it was because you were too honest! β
At this moment, the voice of Hawke, the military adviser of the Western Continent, came from behind Chen Ying.
Chen Ying turned around and glared at him angrily: "You heard what I just said?!" β
Hawke nodded and asked with a smile, "Is General Chen going to kill me?" β
Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head, he had dealt with bandits and bandits in his previous life, and his requirements for personal martial arts were relatively loose, and he didn't even practice his ancestral foreign kung fu well, how could he be the opponent of Hawke, who had a seventh-level fighting spirit?
Seeing Chen Ying's rat trap, Hawke sighed helplessly, and took out a letter from his arms: "I just received a letter through some of my own channels. β
Chen Ying looked at him with some confusion.
Hawke smiled bitterly and explained to him, "It seems that my highness the princess no longer holds a grudge against the world. β
Hearing this, Chen Ying's eyes suddenly widened, and she tightly grasped the steel knife in her hand.
"No, no, no, please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to make a move on you." Hawke hurriedly waved his hand.
"Then what are you telling me all this?!" Chen Ying asked angrily.
"Because I'm leaving, I want to ask if you want to go along." Hawke replied.
"Let's go, where are we going?! Defect to Xiao Thief or not?! Chen Ying asked in an unkind tone.
Hawke nodded: "This is natural, my Royal Highness the princess has become the lover of the prince of the world, and naturally he will not be willing to let us go against him again." β
"Are you insulting me?! I'm a minister of the Yun family! Chen Ying roared angrily.
"But the Yun Clan's empire is already dooming." Hawke shrugged.
"Then I will die with the country!" Chen Ying said decisively.
Hawke nodded understandingly, and talked about his past: "I thought the same thing when Charlie Andris annexed the Duchy of Abramo, but time has passed, and now I feel that I was too stupid at the beginning!" β
"Where is the stupidity of a soldier dying for his country?!" Chen Ying looked at him incomprehensibly.
Hawke shook his finger: "No, no, no! It is not my country, the country of the Abramour family to be exact, my people and I are only the property of this family, I may serve this family, but it would be foolish to die for it willingly. β
Chen Ying was confused by him: "Then what is it that you willingly die for?" β
Hawke smiled and said, "Naturally, it's my family and friends, and their safety is what a man should fight for and give his life for!" β
"In other words, now you don't agree with the state system?" Chen Ying asked with a frown.
"That's not it, I really want to serve His Majesty Charles now, because in his new country, my family lives well, and I have received respect and freedom that I couldn't imagine before, and if I were to choose a country that I would like to serve, I would choose His Majesty's new country."
"But you're still serving your princess!" Chen Ying pointed out sharply.
"General Chen." Hawke sighed, "You know what? We guards grew up watching Natalia, and although nominally we are in a master-servant relationship with her, in fact, we all treat her as a daughter, especially after her father was killed by the prince of the world. β
"In other words, you are still serving Princess Natalia, just for the love of all these years?"
"So to speak." Hawke nodded and turned the subject back: "It seems to me that you are similar to me at the beginning, because of some deep-rooted beliefs, you are still willing to die for a country that does not respect you, but in fact, it is not worth it!" β
Chen Ying was silent, and only after a while did he say:
"But Xiao Thief is a traitor who usurped the country, even if he establishes a new country, he may not be much better than the Yun family's empire."
"General Chen, you are a perfectionist, this is unbelievable to me!" Hawke laughed.
"What's wrong with that?" Chen Ying asked with an ugly face.
"Absolutely!" Hawke stopped laughing and replied, "The problem is that this is a worse world, and the prince of the world is better to the martial artists than the Yun family is to the martial artists, which can be seen from today's battle, his soldiers are armed to the teeth, healthy and strong, and skilled in combat, not your soldiers who wear shabby military uniforms, with numb expressions, like beggars!" β
Chen Ying was a little embarrassed by what he said: "But I can't give up my loyalty to the king and become a traitor who is despised just because others are kind to me, right?" β
"Is there anything you can't do?" Hawke blinked, "General Chen, with all due respect, there's still something ingrained in your head that's going on with the clichΓ©. β
Chen Ying waved her hand and turned her head sideways: "If you want to go, let's go!" No matter what you say, I won't go with you! β
Hawke sighed: "General Chen, this decision of yours is really regrettable! β
"Let's go! Don't wait for me to change my mind and go toe-to-toe with you! Chen Ying urged.
"General Chen, if you figure it out one day, you can come to me, and I will help you introduce you, and the prince of the world will definitely accept you." With that, Hawke put on a black cloak and disappeared into the nearby forest.
Chen Ying shook his head, all this that Hawke said to him tonight, if he didn't touch him much, it must be false, but he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart!
"Figured it out? It shouldn't be possible in this life, right? Chen Ying looked up at the starry sky and said silently.
