Looking at the thirteen sons and his party who were gradually moving away, the old emperor's originally enthusiastic eyes gradually became indifferent.

For this son, he can be said to be extremely disgusted.

In these days, every time he closes his eyes, what comes to his eyes is the scene of the rebel holding a bloodstained blade and cutting off his brother's head on the day of the imperial study.

If it is said that the thirteenth son wanted to marry a Qinglou woman when he was young just to disgrace the royal family and make him dislike this son, then the incident in the imperial study that day completely disgusted him with this son.

Although that was his order.

However, others will figure out his temperament and thoughts, and they dare not do it, why do you dare?

However, despite the disgust in his heart, he didn't do anything because of "Jun has no jokes" and because the other party was his son.

It's just that the other party's "cold-bloodedness" made him feel very uncomfortable, because it always reminded him of something when he was fighting for the throne......

It is precisely because of this that he is so disgusted with the thirteenth son who is most like him!

He never wanted his son to be like him in nature......

"Your Majesty, the wind is strong, the imperial doctor said that you should not blow too much, we should go back."

His thoughts were pulled back by the voice of Gonggong Zhang beside him, and when he came back to his senses again, there was no trace of the Thirteen Sons and his party in the distance.

"Hmm."

With a slight bow, the old emperor glanced at the direction where the thirteen sons had left again, and then gave the order to return to the palace.

For the thirteenth son's expedition to fight against the velvet, he did not have any expectations in his heart.

Whether it is life or death depends on the individual's creation.

If you can come back alive, you will come back alive, if you can't...... That's it.

He had already lost eight sons, and it didn't matter if he lost one of his least favorites.

That's what he thinks in his heart.

However, before that, it can be regarded as "making the best use of everything" to let the thirteen sons go on a crusade on behalf of the royal family.

……

In the following days, after the old emperor held a ceremony to worship the heavens, he began to live in a shallow way and recuperate quietly.

Without the thirteen sons in the palace, he was even in a much more relaxed mood, and under the meditation and recuperation of the imperial doctor, his physical condition gradually improved.

The folk gossip has gradually become smaller after the Great Zhou held a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens and sent the thirteen princes to represent the royal family to crusade against the invading velvet country.

The rest is only a few words of sympathy for the poor thirteen princes, which is not a problem.

And just like that, time passed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

That night, the old emperor was correcting and correcting in the imperial study, and suddenly, a low and hoarse voice sounded from a corner of the imperial study: "Your Majesty, this is news from the 'Vulcan Army' on the border, and Weichen thinks you should take a look." ”

With that, a figure stepped out of the shadows of the imperial study and presented a volume of documents to the desk in front of the old emperor.

"Oh?"

The old emperor raised his eyebrows in a slight surprise, then picked up the paperwork, opened it and looked at it.

And as he watched, his brow gradually furrowed.

After reading all the documents, the old emperor's brows had already wrinkled into the word "Chuan".

"The thirteenth son still has a talent for military strategy?!"

What is contained in the instrument is a piece of good news.

In the war against the invasion of the velvet country, the "Vulcan Army", the army guarding the border in the north, successfully repelled a wave of attacks by the velvet barbarians, among them, the leader of the "Vulcan Army", Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei, specially described Su Ling's merits in the document, claiming that this time he could successfully repel the attack of the velvet barbarians, and Su Ling was the first to take the lead!

It was precisely when he saw the words of Su Ling's first merit that the old emperor frowned.

To be honest, a month has passed, and if it weren't for this secret report, he would have almost forgotten about the fact that the thirteen sons went out on behalf of the royal family to fight against the velvet.

In his opinion, the thirteen sons went out on behalf of the royal family to fight against the velvet, and the best result was to retreat in the military camp and not come out, despised by the soldiers and generals of the "Vulcan Army", and then stay for an unknown period of time, and return to the capital after the northern army repelled the invading velvet barbarians.

Unexpectedly, this son actually had a talent in military strategy, which the old emperor did not expect.

"Your Majesty, the good news from the north should not arrive in the capital until tomorrow, how do you think this good news will be handled?"

The guard spoke.

Generally speaking, if there is good news, it is natural to make a special announcement, from the soldiers who spread the good news to the capital, before they get started, they will shout the good news all the way to the imperial city, so as to appease the people, and then the emperor will also be rewarded.

But the Dark Night Division also knew that the old emperor hated the thirteen princes, so he specially intercepted the good news in advance and submitted it, so that the old emperor could think about what to do in advance.

The old emperor looked at the documents in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the day more than a month ago, in the imperial study, the thirteen sons holding the bloody blade.

Suddenly, the disgust that he had almost forgotten instantly surged back into his heart.

"I know, your Night Division is doing a good job."

After praising him, the old emperor had already made a decision on the reward for this good news.

……

Five days later.

On the border of the north, the base camp of the "Shenhuo Army" is in the tent of the general's camp.

"Bang!"

A rough big hand slammed on the tea table beside him, Chen Kuizong, the general of the Great Zhou Town, got up angrily, and asked, "Why aren't there thirteen highnesses in the reward?!" The good news written by the general himself is clear and clear, and the merits of the Thirteen Highnesses are clearly recorded in the book, why is there no Thirteen Highnesses in the reward!! ”

After speaking, he hurriedly explained to a young man sitting under him: "Your Highness the Thirteenth, a certain family really wrote your merits in the good news, and there is absolutely no such thing as monopolizing the credit, please don't misunderstand!" I'll be sure to find out about it! ”

After explaining, he glared at the soldier general who had brought the reward back again, and said angrily: "Say! Did someone tell you to tamper with the good news? Or when you sleep too hard at the post station, someone steals the beams and replaces the pillars! ”

The soldier general who was questioned hurriedly said: "How can the general speak like this!" If it weren't for His Highness the Thirteenth, my life would have been lost more than ten days ago! How could I possibly do such a thing?! If the general doesn't believe it, the last general can die to prove his innocence! ”

After saying that, he was about to get up and draw a knife to wipe his neck, but he was kicked to the ground by Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei: "Get out!" ”

Su Ling quietly looked at the scene in front of him, although the performance traces were very heavy, he still cooperated and said at the right time: "Okay, General Chen, the fact that I am not included in the reward has nothing to do with Vice General Mao, it is my own reason." ”

After saying that, he slowly got up and continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether there is a reward or not, the most important thing is to be able to drive out the velvet barbarians who offended me in the future, this is what people from my royal family should do." Okay, that's it, General Chen doesn't have to ask about the reward, I believe that sooner or later, everything I do will move my father. ”

After saying that, he stepped out of the tent, leaving the two people acting in the tent looking at each other.

"General, this Thirteenth Highness is a smart person, I knew that I wouldn't have to toss so hard."

"Nonsense, isn't it true that a smart person can have such military talent? It was amazing to know in advance that those velvet barbarians were sneaking up from such a remote place! ”

"yes, yes! When I first learned that His Royal Highness came over on behalf of the royal family, I thought it was the superficial work done by the royal family, but I didn't expect that this time it was actually a military god! Moreover, this military god seems to have made some achievements in breathing methods, and his physique is not worse than that of the soldiers in our battalion, and even much stronger, but he has no experience in fighting. ”

"Nonsense, if you stay in a place like the capital all the year round, what kind of fighting experience can you have? But I'm a little curious, since this highness is so smart, why would he offend the current saint in the capital, so that he can't get a reward for his merits? ”

"Who knows...... Maybe smart people are not good at it. I heard that the intrigue in the palace is more tiring than fighting, maybe he is not good at this? ”

……

In the camp tent, Chen Kuizong, the general and deputy general of Zhenbei, muttered and guessed in a low voice.

And Su Ling, who walked out of the camp, had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, exactly.

There is no reward for meritorious service.

Keep it up, and slowly accumulate the emotions he wants.

Half a month ago, it took him half a month to finally come from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the northern border adjacent to the Velvet Country, and entered the base camp of the "Vulcan Army" guarding the border in the north.

At the beginning, there were indeed many soldiers and generals in the barracks, and even Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei, looked down on him a little.

However, when he spent some means to show that he had practiced the "Five Qi Chaoyuan Breathing Method" for half a month, and each of the three attributes of strength, agility and physical strength had increased by 0.02 again, which had exceeded the strong physique of ordinary people, he finally won the recognition of the soldiers and generals in the "Vulcan Army".

Later, he relied on the ability of [self-omniscience] to peek through a sneak attack on a remote route in the Velvet Country, and after saving a team from the "Vulcan Battalion", he completely won the respect of the "Vulcan Army"!

After that, he showed his ability of "military strategy" several times, and after guessing the plan of the velvet barbarians, the "Vulcan Army" suddenly respected him, from top to bottom, from the inside out, from the bottom to the heart!

Of course, because the time is still short, it has only been more than half a month, and although the "Vulcan Army" respects him, it has not yet reached the point where they can empathize with him.

Therefore, Chen Kuizong, the general of Zhenbei, after learning that he had not received a reward, acted in such a play with the deputy general.

Su Ling didn't care about this.

It's only been more than half a month, and it's normal to not be able to empathize with him.

But as time goes by, after he "saves" these people more times, he will naturally slowly empathize with him and be angry that he didn't have a reward.

That's the kind of emotion he wants.

Now, he has entered the game until now, and it has only been less than two months since he has been fully counted, and there is still a long time before the one-year mission time limit, so there is no hurry.
