Chapter 18: The Cowardly Prince
"Hahaha, Lord Wang, don't worry, Xiao Wang is the most peace-loving, and he is notoriously aggressive, so he will definitely not be interested in people and places like Xiao Wang, and besides, His Majesty has always used soldiers like a god, and if there is a war, His Majesty will find a way. I just want the people to have a good life. Li Ke said with a smile.
Peace-loving, Lord Wang, do you yourself listen to this to describe you? Who was the one who caught the mountain bandits and attacked frantically before! Wang Meng thought secretly.
When Gonggong Gui and Li Jing and Li Ke said the word "Your Majesty", their hearts were tight, for fear that their identities would be exposed.
These three princes really didn't see our identity? How do I think he's slapping on the back! But I don't have proof.
Li Jing heard his third son praise him so much, and his heart was dark.
He asked, "How do you know that Your Majesty is like a god?" ”
Do you want to see what you ask again, is there a possibility that I am his son? Besides, do I have no eyes or no ears?
"Although I was not born when my father was fighting everywhere, I know very well that the comfortable life I have now is because he calmed the world, if it weren't for my father's use of soldiers like a god, where would I have a good life today?"
Li Ke said as he saluted with both hands and raised them to the height of his forehead.
Li Jing nodded with satisfaction.
But there are still some people who despise Li Ke's cowardly behavior, as the king of a land, it shouldn't be like this.
Su Nange was very disdainful of Li Ke's praise of Emperor Jing just now, and began to underestimate Li Ke's cowardice.
After all, war is a commonplace for both of them.
has always advocated courage and good fighting, or rather unyielding integrity, like Li Ke, who waits for rescue when he encounters war and does not want to resist at all, whether it is in Dajing or in the Northern Wilderness, he can't even be called a hero, let alone a king.
Sunan Ge was a little disappointed, so cowardly, and called the king of one party, if he really married, he was afraid that he would live a miserable life.
Li Jing disdained Li Ke's attitude, but was concerned about the people here, so he said from the bottom of his heart: "Lord, don't blame the old man for talking too much, the people in your city live and work in peace and contentment, this peace needs to be guarded by soldiers, as far as I know, Nanban has always been strong and strong, if it really fights, it is true that Your Majesty uses soldiers like gods, then you have to wait until Your Majesty's reinforcements can be saved, the old man sees that the troops in Yizhou City are really fighting, I am afraid that it will not last at that time, where should the people in the city go at that time?" How should the prince deal with himself? Not to mention our caravans. ”
Li Ke didn't speak, Li Jing continued: "The words have come to this point, the old man will rely on the old man to sell the old, and if he says a few more words, the prince still has to expand his troops and train soldiers, so that the caravans that come and go to cooperate are more assured, isn't it?" ”
Li Ke was still smiling and did not speak.
I don't need to say anything, I don't have any skills, can there be peace and tranquility here? I've seen people who are afraid of death, I've never seen you so afraid of death, there is no sign at all, why are you worried about here? Besides, increase the number of troops, what should the emperor do if he finds out? My life is not my life, is it?
Li Ke saw that Li Jing still didn't speak, thinking that he had said too much, and was about to say something more to make up for it.
Seeing a person rushing towards everyone in a panic, Wang Meng recognized that the person was a scout, so he greeted him.
Li Jing and Gonggong Gui also recognized that the person was dressed as a scout, and they both unconsciously looked in Wang Meng's direction.
No way! Just finished talking about Nanban, this is about to start? Can those people brought by His Majesty be able to send us back to Chang'an safely? I haven't lived enough! Father-in-law Gui looked anxious.
Wang Meng: "The prince scout came to report that the previously emptied mountain in the southeast is now occupied by a new group of mountain bandits. The local people are no longer able to travel normally, so they have come to ask the prince. ”
Luckily, it's just a bandit! Gonggong Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay now, there are not a few soldiers, how to suppress the bandits, just Li Ke's weak appearance, if I want to see the Nanban, I won't use it, and the Guangshan bandits can let Li Ke finish playing.
Sunan Ge was secretly worried.
Although she looked down on Li Ke's cowardly attitude, she didn't want him to die so easily.
Everyone was worried about the battle between Li Ke and the mountain bandits, only he was the same as anyone else.
Not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he looked excited.
Li Jing was a little confused. Doesn't this Li Ke don't like to fight? Why do you feel as happy to hear that there are new bandits as if you have made money?
Li Ke rubbed his hands and instructed Wang Meng: "Go and ask the second battalion commander to bring some people, and then bring my Italian cannon, let's fuck it!" As the saying goes, good dogs don't get in the way, and they must be made to regret their actions. ”
Wang Meng immediately went out to find the second battalion commander to arrange the suppression of bandits.
"What cannon?" Li Jing asked curiously.
Li Ke: "It's a weapon that can beat those mountain bandits to the bust!" ”
"What's that?" Li Jing and Su Nange asked at the same time.
"Master Wang, I can't explain everything to you now, wait for me to repel those mountain bandits, and then come back to have a good time with you."
Li Ke was ready to leave after saying that, but he didn't even bring a personal guard.
"Wait a minute, Lord Wang! If you don't dislike taking us with you, our caravan has traveled north and south, and the mountain bandits have seen a lot, maybe they can help! Li Jing saw that he was leaving, and immediately stopped him.
Li Ke excused himself again and again: "Master Wang is a guest, how can there be a reason to let guests do these things, besides, I speak rudely, and when the time comes, I am afraid that when I fight, I am afraid that I will not choose to speak, and it will not be good to hurt everyone's hearts." Besides, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, what if it hurts you! ”
My caravan is full of masters, don't worry that I won't hurt me even if you hurt me, Li Jing made up his mind to go and see what the hell this Li Ke was doing, so he insisted: "Don't worry, we will obey the command and will not cause trouble to the prince." ”
At this moment, Wang Meng came back, "The prince has all arranged it, and now you can leave!" ”
"Good! You stay and take care of the kings! Li Ke said to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng, who was still very excited, was extremely disappointed when he heard this.
"Lord Wang, I don't think it's better to trouble the king's guards, it's more convenient for us to follow you!" Li Jing said.
Wang Meng nodded frantically, and immediately looked embarrassed.
Li Jing was determined to follow him to take a look, so he said: "Lord, let's be honest, in fact, the old man is very curious about what kind of cannon you are, I can't wait, could it be that the prince is not willing to give the old man a feast for his eyes?" You can rest assured that we will follow you, and we will never do anything to embarrass the prince. ”
Sunan Ge also wanted to see whether this Li Ke was a lonely man or a coward.
also insisted: "The prince will let us follow, it won't cause chaos." ”
