Char's Chen Bing was located only fifty miles from the city of Osgiria. A whole day and a night have passed!

Yesterday's battle to pursue the rout had already ended, and it was the Besta Military Region that took a lot of advantage. At that time, Char led his cavalry all the way forward, but he threw a large number of prisoners of war in place, but cheapened the later Besta Military Region.

At that time, Char was one step ahead, after all, the cavalry of the Besta Military Region was much inferior in terms of elite, and the speed of assembly was much slower, so I thought that I couldn't catch up, but I didn't expect that when the large army caught up from behind, I found that Char not only killed the rout, but also left all the prisoners of war.

This can make the governor's wife quite happy in her heart: such allies are hard to find in the world, I will fight one by one, and the prisoners of war and the credit will be yours. Where can you find such good things?

The Governor's wife immediately ordered the prisoners of war to be collected, and thousands of cavalry from the Besta Military Region cleared the battlefield, and the prisoners of war who had been gathered were driven to the open field and closely guarded.

Although the Governor's wife also knew that it was impossible for these prisoners of war to be taken into their own hands. But after all, the confiscated loot can be regarded as a windfall income.

Tens of thousands of rebels were prisoners of war, and the weapons and armor they had collected were piled up! What's more, most of these rebels wantonly plundered the city of Osgilia for many days after the city was broken. As a result, all of these things were captured and returned to the Besta Military District.

The Governor's wife didn't expect to reap so much benefit at first, but when she looked at the mountains of things piled up in front of her, the Governor's wife was also stunned.

Vessels of gold and silver, all kinds of goods, and even some silk and leather...... Many of the rebels lost their weapons when they were defeated, but they did not forget to carry the looting in Osgilia in their arms.

In the face of such a windfall, the governor's wife also went on the road to do things, she directly ordered half of all the seizures to be divided, and sent people to immediately mobilize people to transport them to Char!

The battle is fought for you, and the strength work is also done for you, and you are a bloodless soldier, and you have gained so many things. At this time, if you still swallow it alone, it will be too inferior.

For these things sent to the door, Char naturally would not refuse, and after Funa did not hesitate, he immediately issued an order as the commander of the "Protector": Protect the whole army, stay in place and stand by, without his Char's order, you must not go to Osgilia!

This order, the governor's wife also carried out without saying a word, Tan - is in her heart, but this shrewd woman will inevitably have a trace of doubt!

In her opinion, Char is a justifiable "Marshal of the Northern Theater of Operations", since he brought troops to King Qin, he should naturally bring troops to Osgilia immediately, and then go to the city to meet the emperor one by one, and go with him to meet the emperor one by one, express his sincerity, and show his hard work a little, this matter is decided.

Who knew that Char inexplicably asked the army to be stationed dozens of miles away from Osgilia, and not to go any further......

Even a "subordinate" like the Governor's wife, who had just defected from the rebel camp, tasted that something was wrong!

Since he is the king of Laiqin, where is there any reason why he does not take the initiative to enter the city to meet him, but instead the army Chen soldiers outside the city and stop to watch? This kind of behavior is simply rushing to make the royal family jealous of himself!

What is this Char thinking?

One by one, I pity this governor's wife, but how do I know that Char's bullshit marshal of the Northern Cheap District is an impostor at all.

Char doesn't have any legal identity now, where is he willing to enter the city like this? Just go into the city, in case he sees the emperor, the young rabbit emperor is not happy with himself, Char is not afraid that the emperor will harm him, Uncle Char has a fire fork in his hand, where in the world can not go? The only thing he is afraid of is that the emperor plays a yin trick and directly collects his military power in one breath -- he is the emperor, as long as he openly declares that he does not recognize himself as a "marshal" , then these troops that they have painstakingly accumulated, I am afraid that most of them will be dispersed in a hula!

Don't look at Char's current strong soldiers, tens of thousands of male soldiers, and the elite of the empire such as the Rhodrian cavalry. But the loyalty of these armies is built on the Empire!

To put it bluntly, the first object of loyalty in the hearts of these armies is the Empire! The reason why Char can still maintain unity within the empire now is that everyone regards Char as the representative of the empire and recognizes him as the marshal of the north of the empire. Once there is no such premise, how many of the tens of thousands of troops under his command can continue to remain loyal to Char, I am afraid that even Char himself is not optimistic.

So, Char is waiting!

After the official documents and secret letters were sent, the army was stationed fifty miles from Osgilia, and it was repaired for a day and a night.

The Governor's wife was interested in seeing Char. But the Xia Asian Games will be weak-minded, where would I see that shrewd woman? With that woman's ability to observe words and colors, I am afraid that if I see that my expression is wrong, I will see through my little secret in a few words!

The biggest reason why the Besta Military Region is willing to cooperate with him is that the governor's wife has taken a fancy to her "legal identity"! But if you let the other party know that her "legal identity" is also a fake. Then I'm afraid that the Besta people will turn around and turn their faces.

The time of the day and the night passed quickly.

Char naturally didn't know that in the Osgilian Palace, the emperor, the prime minister, and Adric and others had such a fierce and hidden argument over their own affairs.

However, Char is still more optimistic about his situation.

If nothing else, just rely on the strength in your own hands!

Tens of thousands of male soldiers, controlling the territory of several counties, this strength is not casually said. The empire is in power at this moment, if the rabbit emperor is not really dizzy, even if he still has a trace of sanity, he will not come against himself at this time! Smart move, at this time, he can only be gentle and appeased! Otherwise, ...... Hey......

Char also thought about it in his heart, if the emperor really went crazy, he would immediately say nothing, turn around with the cavalry, and go north to Moll County!

On the Ogillia side, the silver-haired man Butler came again, but this time, he only brought someone to receive the warriors, but he didn't say a few words to Char.

It seems that this Butler General also saw that something was not quite right with Char's army, and this situation was very delicate.

Char went out on this expedition, but deliberately left Sharpa and others in his lair, and he personally led thousands of cavalry to come, and he was also a little careful!

Although Sharba and the others have a very strong relationship with themselves, they are orthodox emperor officials after all, and they are also the descendants of General Adric. In case the empire is really determined to collect its own military power, then when Sharpa and others choose between their friendship with themselves and loyalty to the empire, Char does not dare to guarantee that Sharpa and others can really stand by their side as always, don't forget how far-reaching Adric's influence is for these people from the Rhodrian cavalry!!

If General Adric did not support him, indicating that he wanted to collect his military power, at that time, Sharpa and others might not dare to really support him!

I simply left them at my hometown and didn't bring them, on the one hand, it was also for my own selfishness, and on the other hand, it was also to avoid making a decision too difficult in case there was a need to make a choice.

In this way, after waiting for a day and a night, even when General Butler brought people to receive prisoners of war, Char still maintained a calm appearance, but in fact, the time dragged on for a long time, and he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.

Finally...... Just when Char himself couldn't help but be a little shaken, the person he was waiting for finally came))$ Emperor ** Minister, Lord Adric personally went to Char's military camp to "condolence and inspect"! Adric's arrival was in the evening of !$ two days. He did not serve any army, only took dozens of cavalry guards with him, and came from a distance on the main road.

Char received the report of the scout patrol very early, and when he heard that Adric only brought dozens of cavalry guards, Char finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart!

Looks like you've made the right bet!

Adric came in person with only a small number of guards, which is enough to show that the attitude of the empire did not mean to bring troops to forcibly take power.

Nie Ya immediately ordered to personally lead people to line up to greet him without hesitation.

He personally dressed up in full uniform, rode out of the garrison for several miles, waited in the middle of the road, and watched from a distance as a cavalry team came slowly in the distance of the road, and the banner was a Byzantine Empire's eagle-headed military flag!

The horse team came to Char's front of him only a few dozen paces before he slowly stopped. Char had already turned over and dismounted, standing respectfully in the middle of the road, looking up at Adric on the horse.

The general is old...... Also emaciated. This is Char's impression.

Adric's complexion does not look very good, days of hard fighting, coupled with the pain, this once iron-clad man, has lost several pounds, the former flamboyant beard seems to be a little sparse, the scar on his face is faintly white, the only thing that has not changed is the general's eyes!

Sharp, as sharp as ever!

After a few steps, Adric stopped the horse, but did not turn over, but sat on the horse's back, quietly looking at Char, that look in his eyes, there was actually a cold taste!

Char didn't speak, Adric didn't speak, the two just looked at each other for a while, Adric suddenly "hummed" softly, this hum, with a bit of coldness, Char sighed, walked up two steps, bowed his head and saluted: "General!"

Adric suddenly raised his horsewhip, and with a flick of his wrist, the horsewhip was drawn down as if it were straight on Char's head! The attendants behind Char were all startled, but Char stood still, just drooping his eyelids, and did not look like he was dodging at all.

When the whip was about to hit Char's head, Adric finally retracted his wrist, and with a bang, the whip rolled back like a snake, just a slight slash on Char's shoulder.

"It's still the same as it was at the beginning! Adric sat on his horse and said coldly, "Since you are leading the army to serve the king, why don't you go into the city......?" Hum. Boss!"

When Char heard this, his face showed a grin, he raised his head to look at Adric, and said with a smile: "General, these are your teachings. You were the famous 'General Bahu-) in the first place, and I was your subordinate, so naturally I did the same. If you don't take over, how can you be considered your protégé. ”

Adric listened, and couldn't help but smile strangely at the corner of his mouth. He casually threw the horsewhip over, and Char immediately raised his hand to take it, and without saying much, he took two steps directly, grabbed the reins of Adric's horse, and personally led the horse to his old boss.

With Fuya's current identity, he is already a hero, but he actually came to lead Adric's horse from a low status, and among the many officers who came out to greet him behind him, those who were originally from the Rhoderia cavalry had a calm face, as if they all took it for granted. However, a few people from the Besta Military Region couldn't help but be secretly surprised in their hearts when they saw it. Char led Adric's horse, but after only a hundred and ten steps, Adric stopped him.

"Okay, you are now also the one who leads the troops, and I have wronged you by leading the horse for this old man. ”

Char raised his head and smiled, but his eyes were clear and sincere: "General, I am willing to lead the horse for you, if I can return to you again, even if I lose this status, I will be happy to be a personal soldier again." ”

Adrick looked at Char and saw the sincerity in this kid's eyes, and the tone seemed to be a true expression, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his eyes gradually warmed up, and he said slowly: "You did a good job this time, I didn't expect you to do so well......"

With that, Adric turned over and got off the horse, walked to Char's side, looked at him intently, and suddenly smiled: "Grow taller and tan a little, not bad." Now that you look like this, you really have the taste of a general. Let's go, take me into your barracks. ”

Adric strode forward, and Char let go of his horse and handed it to the guards beside him, and walked behind Adric. The officers under his command and the men on the Besta side followed.

Adric walked all the way and didn't talk to anyone, even those who came to greet him from the Besta Military Region didn't say anything, just strode towards Char's garrison.

Naturally, this station was built temporarily, and anyway, after the battle, the camp was a little simpler.

However, the thousands of cavalry under Char's command are all first-class elites, and Adric walked all the way, looking at the solemn appearance of the army and the discipline in the army, and his eyes gradually showed a satisfied look. Among them, he found a lot of familiar faces, and recognized many people as old men of his former Rhodrian cavalry, Adric's expression gradually relaxed, and he turned his head to look at Char, but he didn't say anything.

After entering the camp, Adric still did not mean to meet with the representatives of the Besta Military District, and the governor's wife did not show up, as if she vaguely seemed to have guessed something.

"Everybody go out first. ”

Looking at the crowded military officers in the tent, Adtan-Ke frowned: "Char is left alone, I have something to ask you first." ”

Seeing everyone leave, Char sighed in his heart: what should come is always coming.

When there were only two people left in the tent, Adric's expression finally sank again! That sharp gaze shrouded Char's face, the scarred face, cloudy, as if hesitating something.

Char stood in front of Adricog with his hands down, trying to make his expression appear calmer.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, Adric spoke. The words are cold, with a hint of anger!" Char, you are so bold!"

When Char heard this, he could only touch his nose and said with a wry smile: "General, my courage seems to have never been too small." ”

This sentence made Adric almost lose his breath, but his eyes immediately showed a thicker haze. He stared at Char tightly: "I don't blame you for gathering all the armies in the north to protect yourself" The situation at that time, you did this, and you had no merit! You defeated the Red Snow Army, which was a great achievement in the world! Even in the secret letter you gave me, you told me that you pretended to be an official of the empire and forged an appointment order...... I only thought you were in a hurry, and you had no choice but to do so, and I don't blame you...... But Char, there's only one thing you've done wrong!"

Char took a deep breath← "General?"

Adric's eyes were even more stern: "Since you came to King Qin, why don't you go into the city!"

“...... I don't dare. Char smiled wryly.

"Don't dare?" Adric frowned: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that others will be suspicious of you? Say that you support the army and respect yourself? Hold you accountable for the crime of taking the official position of the Empire? Joke! If it weren't for you, the northern counties of the empire would have been lost! Although you have taken the official position, you have saved the northern counties of the empire and defeated the foreign insults! This is the merit! With this credit, no one can do anything to you! No one can say anything about you! Even if there are some small points of right and wrong, if I am here, I can always help you cover up the past!"

Char looked helpless, raised his head, and looked at Adric: "General...... You're right, put my credit here, ordinary people, no one can say anything about me. But...... What if it's the emperor?"

Adric: "......"

Char sighed: "Our little emperor has always looked at me unpleasantly, and my hatred with him has been over since the last war!"

Adric hesitated for a moment, and said, "Even if the emperor's weapon is a little smaller, he really wants to ...... you But after all, I am still here, and he can't insist on going his own way, and want to inflict the blame on you, it's absolutely impossible. ”

Char still shook his head: "I'm not afraid that he will harm me. Add to the crime, hehe, it's not me Char who says big things, if he dares to turn his face, I dare to make trouble in the imperial capital. I also expected that the emperor would not openly mess around, but at this time he would come to punish me, that is, a great loss of morale and morale, he is not so stupid. It's not this that I'm afraid of, it's him......

"Are you afraid that he will take your military power?"

Char shrugged his shoulders, but did not deny it: "He is the emperor, in case he opens his mouth to seal me with some false title, leaves me idle in the imperial capital, and then sends someone to receive my men and horses, I have no way at all." He is the emperor, in the name of legitimacy, where can I resist.

Adric stared at Char: "This is originally the army of the Empire, it is the land of the Empire, even if the Emperor sends someone else to receive it, it is not wrong." Are you so greedy for power?

Char seemed to smile, his eyes were more serious, and he looked at General Adric: "My lord...... I have never been a person with great ambitions, but step by step to my current position, as soon as I shouted, tens of thousands of people responded, and tens of thousands of tigers died for me.

After a pause, Char's tone became even more indifferent: "Besides, I have come to this day, this bit of soldiers and horses, this bit of territory, I struggled out by myself! I didn't ask his emperor for a single soldier! I didn't ask his emperor for a copper plate of grain! I worked hard, worked hard, licked blood on the blade, like a book of ice, struggled with life and death several times, and fought for such a little family background, let me give it up...... Yes, but it must be a person I am convinced! My lord, if you are in power, as long as you say a word, I will immediately throw away everything and come to you to lead the horse! But the emperor ...... He's not worthy!!"

"Shut up the !!"

Adric suddenly changed color, strode to the entrance of the tent and glanced at it, then turned his head to look at Char, and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of bastard!"

Char looked disappreciative: "Originally, Garcia, that guy, what ability did you have to make me bow to him? just a rabbit...... Hum. General, if you are the emperor, I will do it one by one."

"Shut up!" Adric was even more angry, went up and snatched the horsewhip in Char's hand and whipped it, but looking at Char's stubborn eyes, he remembered that when this kid followed him at the beginning, his heart was soft after all, and the horsewhip was pulled to the end, but it was crooked, and it just hit Char's shoulder.

Adric's expression was gloomy, his wheezing was a little short, and suddenly he couldn't stand steadily, his body shook, Char hurriedly went up and helped him, Adric's original injuries were not healed, and this anger made his chest churn, and his face became more and more pale.

Char was a little uneasy, and helped Adrick to sit down, looking a little worried: "My lord, you ......"

"I'm fine. Adrick pushed Char's hand away, stared at Char, and said coldly: "What a bastard, you are not allowed to say half a word again! I, Adric, am loyal to the empire, and I will never be disobedient! If you dare to say such things to me again......"

"I won't say it. Char smiled bitterly, stood respectfully in front of Adric, and looked at the general worriedly: "My lord, your face is ......."

"I'm fine. Lao Tzu can't die yet. Adric snorted, his breath gradually calmed down, the two looked at each other for a while, Adric looked at Shengya although he didn't say anything, but the stubbornness in his eyes was not less than half a point, and he also knew in his heart that this guy's mind was really unable to be convinced by words.

Since he has a deep prejudice against the emperor, if he wants this kid to be loyal to the emperor obediently, it is probably not at all......

After a long time, Adric sighed slowly, looked at Char, and his eyes calmed down.

"Char, tell me, what do you really want? Do you support the army to protect yourself, or do you have a big rebellion in your heart?"

Char was startled, looking at Adric's calm eyes, under the calm, it seemed that there was a faint bit of coldness. He immediately shook his head: "I don't have any intention of rebellion...... Your Excellency, you know me, I don't have much ambition, I never thought about that kind of thing...... This empire is already a mess, whoever cares about it, I don't have such thoughts anyway. Garcia, as long as he doesn't mess with me, he'll be his emperor. ”

"What about you?" Adric sneered: "Do you still consider yourself a Byzantine minister?"

"Yes, of course. Char grinned: "Of course I am a Byzantine minister, and the troops I hired are all hung with eagle head flags." ”

"Hmph. Adric nodded and looked at Char: "I also expected that you had no objections, otherwise, how could I allow you to come nonsense!

Char immediately smiled aggrievedly and said with a wry smile: "Of course, general, you are the soul of the army, most of my cavalry, most of them are your old subordinates, if you say a word, I am afraid that they will abandon me and run to your side." I have something else on my mind. I just want to keep my little bit of family background in peace, if people don't offend me, it's good if I don't offend people. ”

Looking at Char's deliberately aggrieved look, Adric scolded with a smile: "Get out! The soldiers were brought out by you, so naturally they listened to your orders and pulled me to do something." ”

After a pause, Adtan-Ke frowned again and said, "Char, let me ask you...... If "I let you let go of the military power in your hands and come to serve in the military headquarters of the imperial capital, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous all your life, and the empire will never harm you." Would you like to come to the military headquarters and be my deputy?"

Char listened, looked at Adric, just looked at it for a while, and then he smiled bitterly: "My lord, I believe what you say! With you, I believe that with your prestige in the empire, you can naturally protect me, and no matter how much the emperor hates me, he will not touch me." But...... My lord, can you protect me for a few years, can you protect me forever?"

Adric was stunned.

Char's tone then sank slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Don't forget, my lord, it is the emperor I have offended...... And also a young emperor. ”

Being young means living for many, many years......

And Adric is already old after all! When Adric is around, maybe the emperor can't do anything, but what about ten years later? Twenty years later?

Even if Adrick can always protect Char, a hero like Char can lose his military power, go to the imperial capital to see people's faces, hide under Adrick's wings, and live cautiously...... Good man, who is willing to live like this!
