In a room in the inner courtyard of the General Soldier's Mansion, Yin Rui sat opposite his son Yin Chengxiu. There is still a faint condensing sandalwood incense in the incense burner not far away, and compared with the tense atmosphere outside Chentang Pass, this side is undoubtedly much quieter.

Yin Rui seemed to have completely forgotten that he was the guard of Chen Tang, and called Yin Chengxiu to have such leisure and leisure to play a game with his son. Occasionally taste a few sips of tea, no one can tell that this is a veteran of the battlefield.

Compared with Yin's calm and calm, Yin Chengxiu seemed very eager. I haven't been able to settle down and play a good game, and on the chessboard, defeat has appeared.

He really couldn't figure out that his father was facing such a crisis outside the city, and Chen Tangguan and His Majesty's forbidden army had almost met each other, so he was not worried, and he was still in the mood to call himself over to play chess.

It has been some years since he and his father joined the army in Chentangguan, and Yin Chengxiu can be said to be the first time to play chess with his father like this.

Yin Chengxiu's heart can be said to have a lot of questions, from Li Jing's sudden attack, to his father's lack of resistance, to the current calm, he doesn't seem to understand all of this very well.

Suddenly, seeing Yin Defeat, he suddenly shook the chess game in front of him, which surprised Yin Chengxiu, who was originally immersed in his own world and constantly analyzing.

He was very puzzled and asked, "Father, what are you doing?" ”

"It's boring, it's really boring, I asked you to come and play a good game of chess with me, pass the time, why are you always so absent-minded. Over the years, I have been teaching you to be calm and not to panic, but so far, you are still so ungrown, how can I rest assured. ”

"Father is not good for me, but don't I have a heart, why did Lord General Bing lock us up here, but since we are imprisoned, why are we so free. Although he realized his mistake, Yin Chengxiu, who was full of doubts in his heart, still couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, tell you to think more about things in trouble, it's not enough to be a general, just a little force, haven't you noticed the meaning of the chief soldier at all until now?" Yin Rui's originally calm state of mind seemed to be disrupted by his own son. He stood up and remembered, walked to the window of the room, looked at the Dongyi soldiers who were standing guard outside, and sighed, as if he was a little helpless.

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, such a virtuous man, has always been very fond of us subordinates, and when the Japanese army was in the council, although we did not say a word, but did not raise a single opposition, how could the Lord attack us. In my opinion, on the surface, the chief soldier is putting us under house arrest, but from another point of view, this is not a kind of protection. ”

Hearing his father's words, Yin Chengxiu seemed to be even more confused. However, although he was very anxious in his heart, he still couldn't help but didn't take the initiative to ask questions, waiting for his father to speak slowly.

Of course, Yin Chengxiu's actions did not hide from Yin Xuan's eyes, knowing that his son knew that he still had not yet comprehended, he could only sigh secretly in his heart: He is still too young and embarrassed, and it is also at this time that there are a few people who can see through everything, especially people's hearts, like the general soldiers.

"The Lord General has imprisoned us here, and when the time comes, the court will investigate and punish us for negligence or defeat in battle. But if we hadn't been imprisoned, we wouldn't have been prepared to take part in any of the Commander-in-Chief's actions, but we weren't prepared to stop it. At that time, in the eyes of the imperial court, what is the meaning of our inaction and direct confrontation with the imperial court? ”

Hearing this, Yin Chengxiu probably understood why his father and the chief soldier were so tacit. Although no one explained, they all knew it. Thinking of this, Yin Chengxiu was very ashamed, why couldn't he understand these things.

"Cheng Xiu, if you want to gain a foothold in Dashang, it is not so simple, as a general of an army, you not only have to face the open guns of foreign enemies, but sometimes the hidden arrows from within your own people will be even more terrifying. If you take the wrong step, you may not recover. After this battle, it is estimated that it will be difficult for your father to make a difference, after all, no matter what, whether it is an escape or a confrontation, I have betrayed His Majesty's trust, even if His Majesty forgives me for reasons, I have no face myself, and I don't plan to enter this officialdom again. ”

Hearing Yin Po's decision, Yin Chengxiu was a little overwhelmed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

Yin Rui looked deeply at his childish son, "As for yourself, do it yourself, I hope you can grow up quickly." ”

On the other side, in the camp of the big merchants, the king of Xu, followed by Huang Feihu and others, came to the camp of guarding Li Jing. The king opened the tent door and entered it, and saw Li Jing sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating calmly at the moment, as if he was not affected by the previous order of the king at all. The king stood in the tent and waited for a long time, and this Li Jing seemed to be completely unaware of the arrival of his own people, and was still meditating.

Only then did Li Jing open his eyes that seemed to be a little hazy, looked at the large group of people in front of him, came to the bed, and asked as if he was very puzzled: "Your Majesty, what are you ......?"

It seems that he has completely forgotten what the king said when he was drunk, and he is not at all a prisoner, and he simply does not say a word about the previous things.

"Brother Xian, don't blame my brother, I am too, as soon as I get drunk, I will say anything outside, what is excessive, Brother Xian, don't go to my heart, it's all drunk for a while, I can't take it seriously, I can't take it seriously. ”

Well, Li Jing deliberately showed great surprise, and said along with the words of King Xu: "Your Majesty, why do you have to be so serious, and come over to apologize to your sister-in-law, of course Li Jing didn't take it to heart, it's just a drunken remark, Your Majesty is too petty, I, Li Jing, am actually the kind of person who cares." ”

Although the king said so, it was just to maintain the apparent harmony between the two people, seeing Li Jing climb up the pole like this, the king almost made a fortune on the spot, but fortunately he was tightly pulled by Huang Feihu behind him, so he didn't make any impulsive moves.

And Huang Feihu even stopped Li Jing with his eyes, telling him not to continue to stimulate the king like this, otherwise the situation would be even more difficult to control.

The king took a deep breath, reluctantly showed a smile, and said, "Brother Xian, I won't say anything else, and please lead the army into the city yourself." ”
