Chapter Twenty-Three: A Helpless Situation
Due to the order to return to the court, the momentum of the entire Yuejia army was completely hit, and the joy of repelling the Jin army disappeared, and everyone watched their outfits weakly and prepared to return to Beijing.
In the command tent of the Yue family's army, after Yue Fei talked to the Yaksha, he also asked everyone to retreat, looking at the night sky with a strange expression.
"Alas, I'm really sorry for Brother Ling this time, I hope he can understand me." Regarding the fact that he suddenly changed his face and drove Ling Chen away, Yue Fei was also quite uncomfortable in his heart. After all, Ling Chen, the little brother he just recognized, helped him from the beginning, but he was treated like this by himself, and no one could accept it.
"Since we are brothers, of course I can understand you, Brother Yue!" What Yue Fei didn't expect was that as soon as he finished saying this, Ling Chen, who had just left not long ago, walked in from outside the tent.
"Brother Ling...... You didn't go? Looking at this sudden appearance of Ling Chen, Yue Fei was also quite surprised.
"Sorry, it took some time to avoid everyone and kept you waiting." Ling Chen looked at Yue Fei without the slightest anger, but said with some apologies.
"You know I'm waiting for you......" Looking at Ling Chen, who had no hatred for himself at all but was very sorry, Yue Fei was a little shocked, after all, in his opinion, after doing that kind of thing, Ling Chen didn't hate himself, even if it was good, how could he still show an apologetic expression to himself.
"Of course you know, the situation was so mixed that you couldn't be honest with me, but your expression clearly told me that there was something hidden, and now you let everyone leave your tent except wait for me. Could there be another reason? Ling Chen looked at Yue Fei, who was very surprised, and explained calmly.
“…… Brother Ling. Thank you......" Seeing that Ling Chen was able to perceive his distress so keenly, Yue Fei was quite moved while being surprised. You have to know that even the Yaksha, who has followed him for many years, didn't find out until he explained it, but Ling Chen, who was treated unfairly by himself, could still find out, how could all this not move him.
"Brother Yue, even if you are a brother, why do you need to say thank you, tell me your troubles, I want to know and help you solve it." Ling Chen looked at Yue Fei and asked seriously, although he sensed that there must be something hidden when he left. But I was also quite curious in my heart, what kind of secret made Yue Fei so abnormal, so that he had no chance to persuade him to continue to march.
"Brother Ling, have you ever heard a joke, it is the most ruthless emperor family, I also did this to protect the other Yue family's disciples, so I wronged you, Brother Yue is here to make amends to you!" Yue Fei looked at Ling Chen, who could understand himself, and Yue Fei was also very moved in his heart. The apology for him is also deeper, and he bows very seriously to make amends.
"Brother Yue, why do you have to be like this, isn't this tormenting brother!" Ling Chen immediately supported Yue Fei, who was about to salute him. At the same time, he was a little surprised and said: "The most ruthless emperor family, Brother Yue...... Do you already know what will happen when you go back this time? ”
"Of course, your eldest brother Yue is not stupid. Of course, I understand that the emperor recalled me this time because he was provoked by those villains in Qin Hui. Yue's army fought abroad all the year round and did not intervene too much in court politics. It is estimated that almost the entire government and the opposition are the minions of Qin Hui and others, so I will definitely be more than lucky when I go back this time, I just hope that the Yue family army can not be implicated. Yue Fei sighed and said, he didn't have much anger at the moment when he had seen through the situation, but only a kind of helplessness.
"In that case, why do you want to go back, big brother, do you think it will be useful for you to go back, can you change the current situation?" Seeing that Yue Fei was so aware of the current situation, Ling Chen was more puzzled than surprised, he couldn't understand why Yue Fei, who had already understood all this, wanted to go back and why he volunteered to die.
"I really can't change the current situation when I go back, and it is very likely that I will be killed by Qin Hui and other traitors, but the holy decree has arrived, and it is no longer something I am willing to do, I only have one way to carry it out."
"How can there be only one way, Brother Yue, the Yue family army is absolutely obedient to your arrangement, as long as you give an order, I guarantee that these brothers will fight with you, and when the time comes, you will lead them to completely repel the Jin army, recover the lost territory, and return triumphantly, and no one inside and outside the government and the opposition will come to target you again." Ling Chen suggested to this Yue Fei very seriously.
"I'm really sorry for these brothers because they trust me, so I can't let them fight with me. You must know that the holy decree has been issued, and now if you resist the decree and go to war, it will be a nameless division, and many soldiers in the Yuejia army who are loyal to the country will not fight with all their might, and when the time comes, they will lose their troops and generals, and at worst, the whole army will be annihilated! Yue Fei looked at Ling Chen and said, he hadn't thought about this matter of resisting the order, but in the hearts of soldiers like them who were instilled with absolute loyalty and patriotism, if they really fought against the order, then the end was unimaginable.
"So at that time, you didn't let Yaksha tell me about killing the messenger, and it was also because of the existence of these soldiers in the Yue family's army, and you were afraid that they would target Yaksha when you returned." Ling Chen also understood a little, the reason why Yue Fei chose to go back is very important is that although there are many soldiers in the Yue family's army who are not Qin Hui's minions, they are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and they will not do such a thing as resisting the decree.
"Yaksha has really wronged you in this matter, Brother Ling. Although the Yaksha is a child with superior strength, but his heart is very simple, if he lets the court know that he killed the messenger, he will definitely ......" Yue Fei also looked at Ling Chen very apologetically, the situation at that time Ling Chen was obviously regarded as an alternative by many Yue family troops loyal to the court, he couldn't let Yaksha also have this end, so he treated Ling Chen uncharacteristically and let him help Yaksha carry that matter.
"There's nothing to be wronged about, anyway, I'm not an official in that court, even if that faint monarch or Qin Hui wants to deal with me, it's useless. I just want to ask you now, Brother Yue, is there really no way, do you have to go back? Ling Chen didn't care at all about helping Yaksha kill the messenger, and besides, he had originally instructed Yaksha to do it, and the responsibility should indeed be on his shoulders. What he cares about most now is Yue Fei, is there really no way for him to change his fate, will he still be called back?
"There is no way, the holy decree has been issued, and if we send troops again, it will be unjustifiable. You must know that if the name is not right, it will not be good; If you don't go your way, you won't get it. Yue Fei sighed and said: "Ten years of work will be wasted in one fell swoop, the Great Song Dynasty will be ...... dead" (to be continued......)
