Chapter Seventy-Four: The Seed
In the court.
Everyone waited so anxiously that even King Taikang couldn't sit still, the wailing was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the building collapsing was getting closer and closer.
Half a day.
At the door of the main hall, Mo Xiaobai helped Xiao Rang to enter slowly, Lang Qun helped Xiao Zhan, and Xie Xie followed aside.
Several soldiers of the Xue family army were watching carefully, looking at the Xiao family's father and son cautiously, for fear of bumping into them.
"I have worked hard to love the general, and I only learned today that General Xue was so bold that it was really my fault to detain General Xiao without permission. ”
King Taikang hurriedly stood up, looked at the Xiao family father and son who slowly walked in at the door, and asked people to move out of the soft stool, and personally stepped forward to help the two sit down.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite, we are ministers, we should have shared our worries and solved problems for the king, but this time I'm sorry, our Yinlin army can't defend Yinyue City, please don't blame the king." ”
Xiao Rang smiled faintly, but the smile on his bloodstained face was slightly terrifying.
"Where is it, according to Aiqing's thoughts, this Jiuli City is ...... now"
King Taikang wanted to speak and stopped.
Xiao Rang smiled faintly.
"Isn't there General Xue's 300,000 Huolin army in Jiuli City, and the guards of the royal city are naturally not a problem. ”
Taikang Wang was embarrassed for a moment, and gritted his teeth slightly.
"General Xue has been in the imperial city for a long time, and he hasn't participated in the war for too long, this demon ......"
Xiao Rang smiled faintly and looked at King Taikang.
"How?"
King Taikang gritted his teeth.
"The 300,000 Fire Lin Army has now lost more than half of ......"
"So much?"
Xiao Rang was slightly stunned, "I heard the invasion of Youzhou demons in prison, and I don't know how long it will take me in prison, but now that I think about it, it should only be three or four days, how can the 300,000 Huolin Army lose more than half?"
Xue Bai gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he became silent after being glared at by King Taikang.
King Taikang looked at Xiao Rang and gritted his teeth.
"Those demons are too powerful, now ......"
Xiao Rang smiled faintly and looked at King Taikang.
"Our Yinlin Army has been guarding Yinyue City for at least three months, dealing with so many monsters almost every day, the Yinlin Army can still resist for three months, and the soldiers of the Huolin Army are several times that of the Yinlin Army, and more than half of them are lost in three or four days?"
Xue Bai gritted his teeth when he heard this.
"I'm afraid it's not more than half of it. ”
Xie Xie slowly stepped forward, looked at King Taikang lightly, and smiled again for a moment.
"In the past three days, there are less than 50,000 of the 300,000 Huolin Army. ”
Xue Bai gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Less than fifty thousand?"
Xiao Rang looked at the solution.
Mo Xiaobai smiled coldly.
"If there are still 50,000 now, I Mo Xiaobai will come to see you with my head raised. ”
The atmosphere in the hall was even more silent, Xue Bai didn't say a word, and the ministers were also silent.
Finally.
Xiao Rang smiled bitterly and looked at King Taikang.
"What else does the king have in mind, the Yinlin Army had already guessed that there would be a crisis in the royal city, so he arrived at the royal city in advance, so if the king called the Yinlin army, he would dispatch it casually, but I didn't expect General Xue to be so confident in the past few days, presumably, after the loss of these days, there should be a way to deal with those demons." ”
Xue Bai's face trembled, and he finally didn't say a word.
"General Xue doesn't have anything to say?" Xiao Rang smiled faintly and looked directly at Xue Bai.
Xue Bai didn't say anything, and Xiao Rang didn't speak.
King Taikang was finally angry, and looked at Xue Bai and snorted coldly.
"General Xue, if you have a way, you can say it!"
Xue Bai didn't dare to be silent anymore.
"There is no way to do it. ”
"Oh. ”
Xiao Rang responded lightly, looked at King Taikang and said: "Wang, General Xue received the talisman of the Yinlin Army, it may be that General Xue was worried about those Youzhou demons and did not take away the Yinlin Army, so the last general asked the king to return the talisman of the Yinlin Army to me temporarily, in this way, perhaps, the crisis of Jiuli, we can still solve it, there is no talisman, it is not reasonable, the Yinlin Army cannot be mobilized, unless the king comes in person." ”
King Taikang snorted when he heard this.
"It's easy to say, General Xue, who asked you to collect the Xiao family's talisman?
Xiao Rang looked at King Taikang.
"The king, it is the king's Yinlin military talisman, not the Xiao family's army. ”
"Haha......"
King Taikang smiled.
"Yinlin Army, Yinlin Army......"
looked at Xue Bai again, "What about the talisman of the Yinlin Army? You are so bold, who asked you to collect the talisman of the Yinlin Army?"
Xue Bai couldn't say anything, his face trembled, and he finally bowed his head.
"The Silverlin Army's talisman is lost. ”
"Lost?"
King Taikang looked at Xue Bai coldly, "You lost such an important thing as the talisman?"
"The last will know what is wrong!"
Xue Bai knelt down, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at King Taikang again.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame General Xue like this, I've seen enough, if the king still wants to be safe and secure, then give me General Xue's talisman, and now promise that you will no longer embarrass the Yinlin Army, the Yinlin Army will eventually be the King's Yinlin Army, if the King is embarrassed by the Yinlin Army, the current situation will be incomprehensible. ”
Xiao Rang smiled faintly, but he didn't say anything.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they were all silent, this was too bold to say, and few people in this hall dared to say so.
Xiao Rang smiled faintly and said, "Does the king think I'm persecuting you?"
King Taikang was silent.
Xiao Rang smiled faintly.
"Now what the Huolin Army has endured, the Yinlin Army has endured, and it is even more serious, the soldiers and horses are short of money and food, we follow the king's wishes, attack the Yu clan, destroy the sky and the cold, this way, the Yinlin Army does not know how many soldiers have been lost, and in the past half a year and close to a year, the Yinlin Army has not seen any money and food allocated by the king. ”
The crowd was silent.
Xiao Rang smiled slowly.
"Who's that, Your Majesty?"
Xie Xie looked at Xiao Rang and smiled faintly.
"General, when the general just left, the Qingzhou army attacked Yinyue City, but we were all killed, together with the people of the entire Qingzhou City, without exception, we used a thousand Yinlin troops and lost more than a dozen people in the battle. ”
The entire hall gasped.
Xiao Rang smiled faintly and looked at King Taikang.
"Your Majesty, whose order is this? Presumably, the Qingzhou Army wants to destroy our Yinlin Army, so it's not too much for us to resist, right?"
King Taikang's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he was finally silent.
"Aiqing did the right thing, these rebels actually went out privately, and the crime is unforgivable. ”
Xiao Rang smiled lightly.
"Even if General Xue has this courage, it is also given by the king, at least it is also promised by the king, the Yinlin Army has been fighting in the east and west for many years, these soldiers are all soldiers of the king, and it is almost useless for the king to do this, it is really chilling. ”
The crowd listened with great fear.
Half a day.
King Taikang gritted his teeth.
"I don't know about these things, presumably General Xue is bent on going his own way, and I hope that General Xiao Er will understand. ”
"Huh. ”
Xiao Rang laughed, laughing so hard that tears fell, and looked at King Taikang coldly.
"Your Majesty, when you said these words, did you ever think that these soldiers are all lives, and whether they live or die depends on the king's words?"
“......”
Instantly said frankly, everyone was speechless, and many old ministers finally shook their heads.
"I didn't want to say these words to you, these words will put me in a dilemma, tell you or not, if we Yinlin soldiers have no other way, it will be a doom, but I still told the king. ”
“......”
Xiao Rang smiled faintly and looked at everyone.
"The reason why I still say these things is just because, this Jiuli has rotted since you are the king, and why am I still willing to say these words, just because, I know that most of the people of Jiuli are still kind, in fact, even if the king is dead, you will no longer care about me anything, what does it matter to me whether you live or die when you do this to me?"
“......”
Xiao Rang looked at King Taikang.
"I am no longer protecting you, the king, but because, although a fruit is rotten, there are still seeds, and the reason why I say this to you is only to protect the seeds, these seeds of goodness, in the current situation, what you say is worthless. ”
“......”
Xiao Rang looked at everyone with a smile.
"Maybe you think that I said these things because I am young and ignorant, and it is good to be silent, but it is also a responsibility to speak out, seniors, sorry. ”
“......”
"Since then, the Xue family's military Fu has been under the control of the Yinlin Army, and the Yinlin Army has helped you solve the Jiuli crisis. Xiao Rang said lightly.
“......”
