Hearing Qin Shan's words, these soldiers were all silent.

They are all weak people selected from the army by the military department, they have no potential, they have no potential, they have to cultivate without cultivation, they really joined the army just to make a mixed life, and it is already very good to survive.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Qin Shan continued: "Next, the emperor is going to Hujun to suppress the bandits, and his life is in danger at any time, maybe there is no return, so I give you a choice, either follow the emperor to quell the rebellion, or leave now, and the emperor will not hold you responsible." ”

Everyone immediately looked at each other, not understanding what Qin Shan was playing.

"Your Highness, you said we could leave now, and we wouldn't be treated as deserters?" one of them asked.

"Of course, the emperor is a good man, and whoever of you wants to leave now can leave directly. Qin Shan nodded and said indifferently.

A few people saw Qin Shan say this, thought about it and then turned around and left the prince's mansion, Qin Shan did not stop him in the slightest, someone took the lead and the people behind him naturally followed.

Soon, waves of people left, and in the end only the lone twenty people were left there.

These twenty people, you look at me and I look at them, obviously thinking about whether to leave or not.

"Is there anything else you want to leave?" The Emperor said one last thing, what we have to do next may be something that will not go back. Qin Shan warned again.

In the end, the twenty people made up their minds to stay.

Qin Shan nodded and said with a smile: "There are still twenty people left, this emperor thought they would all leave, it seems that you all don't want to die." ”

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince, it's not that we don't want to die, but we can't help ourselves, these twenty of us originally joined the army together, and wanted to do a career, maybe because of mediocre qualifications, we have been put in the barracks to do miscellaneous labor, if we go on like this, we may do miscellaneous labor for a lifetime, rather than achieve nothing, it is better to follow His Royal Highness the Great Prince to be born and die, even if we die at that time, we can leave a property to our wife and children. One of the short, thin men stepped forward and said.

"Martial apprentice Sipin, it's true that your qualifications are not good, but since you stayed, this emperor will definitely make you no longer mediocre, and, what's your name?"

Qin Shan now intends to build his own team, although these people in front of him were not excellent before, but there is a red envelope system, he believes that they can be made into excellent soldiers.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the little one's name is Zhao Si. The short man replied.

"Zhao Si, then you will take these brothers to recruit a group of personal soldiers for the emperor, remember, those who are recruited must be ready to die in battle at any time!" Qin Shan pointed at Zhao Si and said with a serious face.

"Yes, Your Highness. Zhao Si nodded in response, although he didn't understand Qin Shan's thoughts, he didn't ask.

Subsequently, Zhao Si took the other brothers to go outside to recruit personal soldiers for Qin Shan.

As a prince, you can have a group of your own personal soldiers, these guards in the previous palace are the eyes of the second prince, Qin Shan naturally can't believe it, so now he has to let Zhao Si recruit again, although the newcomers recruited may not be strong, but they are better than traitors.

When Zhao Si went to recruit his own soldiers, Qin Shan was refining pills in the mansion, he had alchemy, and he took a batch of medicinal materials from the prince's mansion, which was just right to use alchemy to refine a batch of pills to heal injuries and replenish energy, after all, there would be a large-scale battle to exterminate the rebels at that time, and it would be good to spare some pills.

It is good to have a system, alchemy directly synthesizes medicinal materials, not to mention the speed, and it is quite convenient, whether it is successful or not, it will improve the proficiency of alchemy.

......

In the Second Prince's Mansion, they had already received the news that Qin Shan was recruiting pro-soldiers.

"Hahaha! In the end, only twenty people followed that waste, and the emperor wants to see how this waste can use twenty people to destroy the rebels!" said the second prince with a laugh.

Prime Minister He Shizhong also said with a look of disdain: "If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for being too dead, we have prepared a thousand people for him, but he only picks a hundred people, and finally let them voluntarily take refuge, isn't this an idiotic act? And now he is driving all the people in the mansion away, going outside to recruit personal soldiers, and some people are willing to follow him before he goes out of the ghost!"

"Your Highness, it should be no problem to kill that wretch this time, right?" He Huan next to him asked with a grim face.

"Hmph! He thought that exterminating the rebels was a good thing, and if he only got such a few people, he was looking for death, and this time the emperor promised that he would go and never return!" the second prince sneered.

"Although the abolished prince can't recruit too many people, we can intervene to make him recruit fewer people, so that the abolished prince will die faster. He Shizhong said with a sinister face.

Hearing this, He Huan's eyes lit up and said, "Father, I'll go and sabotage them to recruit pro-soldiers, I don't want the eldest prince to regain power!"

"Okay, but be safe. He Shizhong nodded in response.

"With the emperor by Huan'er's side, how can she be in danger, go, the emperor will take you to play. The second prince hugged He Huan and said confidently.

With the second prince as his companion, He Shizhong felt that there was no problem, in the imperial city, no one dared to offend His Royal Highness the second prince.

......

Inside the Royal Palace.

"Your Majesty, just now the military department Shangshu allocated a thousand men and horses to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince only left twenty people in the end, and now he is recruiting personal soldiers outside, isn't it a bit too ...... for this person to exterminate the rebels" Xue Gonggong said while probing the emperor's eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, the 1,000 men and horses are all old, weak, sick and disabled. The Emperor said without the slightest surprise.

"Your Majesty is wise, it is true, so the eldest prince would rather not. Gonggong Xue nodded, "But it is very dangerous to quell the rebellion like this, the number of rebels is thousands, and the great prince's men and horses are tantamount to sending them to death." ”

"Since Shan'er didn't ask me for help, it means that he has his own plans, I want to see how he can turn the difficult situation around, his crown prince has been deposed once, if he can't show his ability to be stronger than other princes, I won't make him the crown prince again!" said the emperor's eyes.

"But this situation is too difficult, isn't Your Majesty worried?" said Xue Gonggong helplessly.

"If he doesn't come to me for help, if I take the initiative to help him, it will seem that he is too weak, and he will definitely be criticized by the ministers, and the chances of becoming the crown prince again will be even smaller, and I want to see how he can turn such a difficult situation around. The Emperor said.

In fact, the emperor was also very surprised at this time, leaving only twenty people, this is really self-defeating, even if he goes to Hujun at that time and has the help of local generals, it is impossible to do much, is it possible that the mountains still have the ability to defy the sky?
