Chapter 349: Northern Xinjiang is coming
"The king also took a closer look, it seems that the relationship between City Lord Li and the barracks is not very good?" After noticing the nervousness in City Lord Li's expression, Chu Ruoyan asked.
"This ...... Xia Guan rarely comes here, so they don't know Xia Guan......" Li Cheng hesitated in his words, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
"Rarely come to the barracks? As the lord of a city, he didn't even come here, so there was no need for this lord to be the lord of the city according to this king. ”
The sudden change in Chu Ruoyao's attitude scared City Lord Li so much that he couldn't do it, and he kept looking at Chu Ruoyao's face in a trembling manner, for fear that he would let himself come down from the city lord's position if he directly made a fold.
He had managed to climb to this position, but he didn't want to lose it like this. It was only now that he began to regret his attitude towards Chu Ruoyan and the others at the beginning.
He actually knew the news that Chu Ruoya was coming here at the beginning, but he felt that the people who came to Chaoyang City were all unfavored princes, and it didn't matter if he had a bad attitude, but he didn't expect to dispel this idea after seeing Chu Ruoyao.
"King Yan, the lower officials know that they are wrong." City Lord Li hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Ruoyao. Ever since Chu Ruoyan came here, this is probably the sentence that City Lord Li has said the most.
Chu Ruoyan was indifferent to what City Lord Li said, and just squeezed out a smile in response, City Lord Li looked at Princess Yan next to him with some weakness, but Li Luobing also looked indifferent.
Just as his heart was going up and down, the marshal of the barracks came.
"What is the city lord looking for?"
After hearing Shen Yue's voice, City Lord Li hurriedly got up from the ground, patted the clothes on his body, and walked in front of him, he didn't want to show the slightest embarrassment in front of this marshal.
"This is the current King of Yan, who was sent by the emperor to Chaoyang Town to guard it." City Lord Li pointed at Chu Ruoyao and said.
King Yan? Come to Chaoyang Town to guard? After hearing these words, Shen Yue put all his attention on Chu Ruoyao, in his impression, King Yan was still the same person who was a little stupid a few years ago, and now he actually turned into a person and came directly to Chaoyang City, which surprised him.
But it's no wonder that Shen Yue, Chaoyang City is far away from the capital, and they don't know a lot of news here, and it is even more impossible to know about the many things that happened to Chu Ruoyi.
"Xia Guan has seen King Yan." Doubts in his heart, Shen Yue still saluted very respectfully. No matter how you say that King Yan is also sent by the emperor, it is natural for him to salute himself.
"Marshal, you don't need so many courtesies, this king has just come to Chaoyang City, and there are many things to ask the marshal for."
Chu Ruoyao's words made Shen Yue very comfortable to listen to, he thought that Chu Ruoyan would talk to him with a condescending attitude, but he didn't expect to be so approachable, which changed the fixed image of those princes in his mind.
"Where did King Yan say, why should I ask for advice?" Chu Ruoyao was so polite to him, and Shen Yue was naturally very polite.
"You are the marshal of the soldiers of Chaoyang City, although this king was sent by the emperor, but he naturally doesn't know as much as the marshal, why don't you take this king to see it now?"
"It should be, it should be." Shen Yue naturally did not shirk and agreed.
City Lord Li next to him looked at Shen Yue's diametrically opposed attitude, and felt very uncomfortable, but he was not the King of Yan, so there was no way to ask this Marshal Shen to be the same to him.
"What else is the city lord doing there? Why not come? After several people had walked out of a distance, Shen Yue suddenly remembered the existence of City Lord Li.
After hearing Shen Yue's words, City Lord Li sped up his pace and followed them.
A group of five or six of them entered the gate of the barracks and came directly to the training ground, where a group of soldiers was practicing, but this scene kept frowning in Chu Ruoyao's eyes.
Shen Yue was a little unhappy after seeing Chu Ruoyao's expression, no matter how he said that these were soldiers under his hands, he felt very uncomfortable if he was looked down upon like this.
"Does King Yan think that our soldiers in Chaoyang City can't do it? Why this expression? Shen Yue was bold, and his questioning was quite direct.
"If you keep training like this, you won't be able to." Chu Ruoyan was also ruthless, and did not save any face for Shen Yue at all.
"These soldiers are different from the guards in the capital, they usually have to directly face the harassment of the northern Xinjiang, so naturally they can't only use the methods of the capital to train." After saying this, Shen Yue's expression revealed a hint of arrogance.
In his opinion, the guards in the capital have not experienced any war at all, they are all pampered people, and if such people go to the battlefield, they will not have any changes to the war at all.
"It's true that some of the guards in the capital have problems, but your Chaoyang City video is even more problematic.
"It's not just this king who thinks there's a problem, I'm sure even this king's princess can see the problem."
After Chu Ruobing said this, he looked at Li Luobing, and after seeing Chu Ruoyao's eyes, Li Luobing rolled his eyes in his heart, didn't he just want to give this Marshal Shen a dismissal?
If a woman of her own can name the problem, it proves that the training methods of the soldiers are indeed not very proper.
Shen Yue looked at Li Luobing, who had not spoken beside him, and he didn't believe Chu Ruoyao's words at all, no matter how much Princess Yan was, she was just a woman, and she would definitely not be good at training and fighting, and it was impossible to say any useful opinions.
"Is Marshal Shen completely unconvinced?" Li Luobing looked at Shen Yue's expression and knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Since she is Princess Yan, she must do something that Princess Yan is worthy of, at least she can't embarrass Chu Ruoyao.
"No, no, since King Yan said it, there must be a reason for it." Even if it was an opposing opinion in his heart, Shen Yue was very smart not to say it.
"First of all, the weapons in the hands of these soldiers are not the opponents of Northern Xinjiang at all. I also have some understanding of northern Xinjiang, the people of northern Xinjiang are very strong, and the weapons used are also huge, if we only use these weapons to resist the enemy, it is impossible to fight at all. ”
After hearing some of Li Luobing's words, Shen Yue was a little silent, what Li Luobing said was indeed reasonable, every time the people from Northern Xinjiang came to Chaoyang City to burn and plunder, the soldiers also bravely stepped forward to drive them away, but the people of Northern Xinjiang didn't take them seriously at all.
"There is no way to do this, Chaoyang City is on the border of Mingyue Country, and it is impossible to have too many weapons. Besides, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the current conditions are already very good for the soldiers. ”
Although Shen Yue agreed with Li Luobing's words in his heart, he didn't want to admit it verbally, and he had been looking for a reason.
"If you encounter an invasion from the north now......" Before Li Luobing's words were finished, the guards ran over.
"Oh no, Marshal, the people from the Northern Frontier Country are here again!"
Li Luobing didn't expect that what she just said would actually become a reality, and she couldn't believe it after hearing the news.
"King Yan, Princess Yan, you two should hurry back to the City Lord's Mansion! The people from the north are here, and there is no time to take the two of them to see the barracks again. Shen Yue walked towards his big tent as he spoke.
"Then it's just right, this king will take a look at how the people of the northern frontier harass the people of Chaoyang City." How could Chu Ruoyao miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately proposed to go to the battlefield with Shen Yue.
At this time, Shen Yue had just changed his armor and walked out of the big tent, and after hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, he immediately rejected him. Let's not talk about whether Chu Ruojiao will lead troops, just because of his status as a prince, it is not suitable to go to the battlefield with him.
"King Yan, I suggest that you go back to the City Lord's Mansion to rest, this battlefield is not the same as the capital, it's not a joke." Shen Yue's expression was very serious, and he always wanted to persuade Chu Ruoyu to go back.
But the more he said this, the more firm Chu Ruoyan's idea of going forward together became, since Chu Zhuangyan sent himself to guard here, then if he didn't even go to the battlefield, he couldn't solve the problem of Chaoyang City at all.
"Not only the king will go, but the princess of this king will go. Marshal Shen can leave us alone, as long as this king brings enough secret guards to protect our safety. ”
Seeing that Chu Ruoyan insisted on doing so, Shen Yue had no choice but to refuse them, but still sent a few of his subordinates to stay by Chu Ruoyao's side.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, are you really going to the battlefield?" The city lord Li next to him was so frightened that his legs were weak when he heard the news, every time the people from the northern Xinjiang came over, he hid in the city lord's mansion and would not come out at all, as soon as this Yan King came, he encountered such a thing, did he still have to accompany them?
"Or else? What does the lord think? This king thinks that since the city lord Li has never seen these people from the northern frontier, it is better to go with this king! ”
After hearing Chu Ruoyao's words, Li Luobing next to him almost laughed. As soon as he heard the words of the attack of the people from the Northern Xinjiang, this Li City Lord was already almost frightened, and now that he was asked to go to the battlefield together, he must have already been dissipated.
Sure enough, after City Lord Li heard Chu Ruoyao's words, his whole body trembled even more, and his forehead was sweating all the time.
"Why is City Lord Li suddenly sweating profusely?" Chu Ruoyu pretended not to know what City Lord Li was thinking, and deliberately asked.
"Under ...... Xia Guan is just a little hot. City Lord Li stammered, and quickly raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Let's go, then!" Chu Ruoyan signaled, and the city lord Li saw that he couldn't escape, so he could only nod his head in resignation.
Then Chu Ruoyao and Li Luobing simply changed their clothes and followed the soldiers of the barracks to the gate of Chaoyang City.
