Chapter 254 Next will be more exciting
When Chen Leng came to Xiao Zhao City from Xianlai City before, he had not found anything wrong. Wu Lie and Yan Chengli were quite enthusiastic after meeting, and they looked like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. In fact, these two people were indeed classmates and should have been close, but now they are standing in different camps.
Different environments have caused people to have different thinking. Some people say that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. In fact, this is a very nonsense saying. The country is not easy to change and the nature is not difficult to change.
How many people are ambitious and want to change everything, but in fact, everyone will be changed by the environment.
Wu Lie went to war with Qiuli people almost every year in the northern border, and he was defeated in every battle. How many innocent soldiers died in the wars of weak scholars intervening in command? His dissatisfaction with the military supervision system led to his tendency to Shi Dongcheng.
The Dongjiang side is different. Although Xiao Zhaocheng is also a border town, the confrontation between Nanli Ren is more like playing house. No, it is playing house. People on both sides know that no one will really fight. It is just a beautiful trick. The court of the Tiao Kingdom wants a record. Xiao Zhaocheng has gone through dozens of battles without breaking it. This is the record. What Nanli Ren wants is an attitude for the people to see. If the attitude is correct, the task will be completed.
So Yan Chengli didn't think there was anything wrong with maintaining the status quo. He was unwilling to get involved in that kind of struggle. He just took it for granted that people like Shi Dongcheng wanted to compete for the throne as a delusion.
The throne belongs to the crown prince, of course.
So he chose to stand on the side of the prince, and he felt that he would not read it wrong as long as he was not stupid enough.
Before, the Crown Prince Shi Changhua had already arrived at Xiao Zhaocheng but did not catch up with Chen Leng and others. Xiao Zhaocheng was a border town, although it was not as large as the scale of the Crown Prince, and he seemed to live too hard. Although the solemn aura he thought was like playing house in the eyes of Daning people.
Yan Chengli personally delivered the dinner to Chen Leng to the room. If he and Wu Lie went to ask Emperor Zhao De of the Nanli Kingdom, Wu Lie would not give it to him, and would even break up directly. If the prince came forward in person, he would look undecent.
This huge contribution falls into Shi Dongcheng's hands, and his status in the Tiao Kingdom will suddenly increase, and he will have the power to compete with the prince. How could Shi Changhua allow it?
He was rushing here from Xianlaicheng. The only good news was that he was much faster than Shi Dongcheng. The people of Shi Dongcheng were still asking for a position, so it was not easy to come back.
Yan Chengli looked at Chen Leng carefully: "General Chen, is this meal still worthy of your appetite today?"
"wrong."
The cold answer was careless and unkind.
Yan Chengli endured the anger in his heart and tried his best to hide his embarrassment. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Daning Wuhua Tianbao, our country's things are naturally incomparable. However, I asked the general to carefully prepare this meal. I specially asked the general's subordinates what they like to eat on weekdays and thought about the taste. If it is not right, please forgive me."
Chen Leng finally raised his head and looked at Yan Chengli: "Do you still want me to help you get someone over?"
Yan Chengli bowed his head and said, "General Chen, this is not for my personal consideration, but for the tens of millions of people in the Tiao Kingdom. If the Sixth Prince gets the Emperor of Nanli to the capital and hand it over to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely reward you very much. Even if Your Majesty doesn't like the Sixth Prince, such a great contribution will not be suppressed. Therefore, the least it is to be promoted to the throne. In that case, the Sixth Prince's heart will be even more uncontrollable, and some people in the court will also rush to the storm. At that time, the two Your Highness will fight, and it will not be the people of our Tiao Kingdom who suffer. If... if... if we reach the point of using force, the casualties will be soldiers."
Chen Leng put down his chopsticks: "So what?"
"So how can the general ignore it?"
"What's my business?"
Chen Leng's rebellious question completely pushed Yan Chengli into the ice cave.
Chen Leng said in a plain tone: "Shi Changhua ascended the throne or Shi Dongcheng ascended the throne, that is the business of your country, and it has nothing to do with me."
Chen Leng looked at him: "So I advise you not to persuade me. What I have always mentioned is me, don't you understand? If you mention the relationship with Daning, what do you think I am the most correct way?"
Yan Chengli was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, because he knew very well that if he was considering from Daning's perspective, of course, it would be more beneficial for Shi Dongcheng to ascend the throne. Shi Dongcheng worked as a proton in Daning in recent years and returned to become the emperor of the Tiao Kingdom, and Daning's control over the Tiao Kingdom would be stronger. He even thought that as long as Shi Dongcheng told Emperor Daning to help him ascend the throne, Daning would do his best to assist Daning in the war of seeking a man, then Emperor Daning would not directly interfere in the affairs of the Tiao Kingdom.
Still the same thing, that's Daning...
Unlike Qiuli, the country has been close to Daning in recent years, and every year it sends envoys to Daning to deliver the offerings. How powerful Daning is is, the people of the country see it. When he was still in the capital of the country, he was lucky to be elected as an envoy to guard the Daning. On the way, he went north from the southern border of Daning, and it was nothing because he saw the greatness of Daning and the strength of Daning.
The year he went to Daning was exactly the year when Daning defeated Nanyue. Their team was invited to watch the battle through the war zone. At that time, the devastating style of the Daning soldiers made him scared every time he remembered it. He was a soldier. Of course, he was unwilling to admit that he was not as good as others, but he asked himself countless times, what would he have the chance of winning if he led his troops to fight against the Daning soldiers?
Not a single point.
He also saw Shi Yuanxiong, the wolf ape general in the southern border of Daning. The short-sized general just stood there casually, which made him feel that it was a mountain that he could never cross in his life.
So Yan Chengli dared not speak out against Chen Leng, and he dared to be angry. He was also holding it in his heart. How could he do to Chen Leng? Coercion? Kill?
What is Daning’s style? Nanli Kingdom will never give up its own citizens from thousands of mountains and rivers. If it dies coldly here, then Daning’s anger will directly burn the sea and pounce on the land of the Tiao Kingdom.
"General."
Yan Chengli suddenly knelt down on one knee: "I beg the general to fulfill his promise, and the country cannot go out for war."
Chen Leng sighed slowly: "Get up, I can understand your mood. You are willing to contribute everything for your country and country, just like my feelings for Daning, but you and I have different positions. I am an outsider and a passerby. Don't say that I will not give me anyone when I ask Wu Lie now. Even if I want to come back, what's that? It's considered to be directly involved in your internal affairs. I don't want the internal affairs of a country to be influenced by outsiders. Besides, if I interfere directly, there is a way to be better and more straightforward than this."
He reached out and helped Yan Chengli up: "Wait for your master to come. If I guess well, he should arrive in Xiaozhao City soon."
Yan Chengli's face changed: "Yes... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"Well, then I'll wait for him."
Chen Leng made a gesture of invitation, and Yan Chengli naturally couldn't continue to waste, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
Yan Chengli had just left Lin Luoyu and entered the cold room. She had been waiting outside for a while. Of course, she knew exactly what Yan Chengli was doing. She came not for this, but for something else.
"You should leave quickly."
Lin Luoyu looked at Chen Leng and advised: "Shi Changhua is a short-sighted man. He can't see that far. As far as I know, this man is stubborn and stupid. A stupid person will not care about the future that will be farther. All he can see is not to let the throne fall into the hands of others. So if he becomes stupider, you will be in danger."
Chen Leng: "Is it more dangerous than you?"
Lin Luoyu was speechless for a moment. She was indeed even more dangerous. Once Shi Changhua arrived, he would not even hide it. Instead, he directly sent someone to take her down. After taking her, he would have the capital to threaten Shi Dongcheng, although she felt that Shi Dongcheng would never give up fighting for the throne for himself.
"Since we are all in danger."
She looked at Chen Leng and said, "Then let's go together? Don't forget the agreement between us and Hai Ye. His fleet is still asking for the establishment of that wild beach waiting for us."
After calculating the days, Hai Ye returned to Tiaoguo to supplement supplies and then returned to the island. It should be the same as Shen Leng and the others' time to rush back. If they set out to travel north, they could still get along with Hai Ye. Of course, doing this would require the country to cross from south to north again.
She would rather go and seek a position again than use the power of her own court to return to Daning in a more stable way.
Chen Leng shook his head: "We have to leave, but we can't leave anymore and ask for a standing position."
She can be irrational and cold.
Chen Leng opened the window and took a breath of the slightly salty air outside. After a while of silence, he said, "Shi Changhua will be here tomorrow."
Yan Chengli told him the day after tomorrow, but Chen Leng was sure that Shi Changhua would arrive at the latest tomorrow, or even tonight.
"Ancient music."
Chen Leng shouted out, and Gu Le immediately came in from outside the door: "General, what's the matter?"
"Take a few people to stare at the west gate of Xiao Zhao City. If the city gate is not closed tonight, the prince of Tiao Kingdom, Shi Changhua, will be here tonight."
Gu Le responded: "What's the matter?"
"He comes and let's go."
Chen Leng looked at Lin Luoyu, and Gu Le immediately understood: "Yes, then I will let everyone clean up the gifts."
"No, there are so many pairs of eyes outside, and they can see clearly when you pack your luggage."
The cold opening of the window is not just to breathe a few breaths of air outside, but because the slim Chinese outside cannot get closer because they open the window.
"Send a few more people to stare at Yan Chengli. If he goes out tonight, he must be to welcome Shi Changhua."
"yes."
Gu Le asked: "What else should I pay attention to?"
"Eat enough, you may have no food tomorrow."
Chen Leng said: "Please come here for a trip, General Wu Lie."
Gu Le clasped his fists and turned around and left the room.
"what you up to?"
Lin Luoyu asked Chen Leng, she could not guess Chen Leng's intentions. If she was not here, Chen Leng would not have to care about Shi Changhua's attitude at all. He is the general of Daning. Shi Changhua would not take action directly as long as she was not crazy. But here, what could Shi Changhua be forced to do if he couldn't do it?
"Go back to sleep."
Chen Leng smiled at Lin Luoyu. His smile was very warm, not like a younger brother, but more like a big brother.
"I said this to me, so please feel free."
He patted Lin Luoyu on the shoulder: "It's just that what happened next may be a little stimulating, be prepared."
"More exciting than going to Nanli to capture the emperor?"
"Um."
Chen Leng nodded: "We will face many conspiracies and tricks. I am not a god, so I can't guard against it. So the only way is to let these filths come out and everyone can see them."
His lips curled up, and Lin Luoyu knew that some people were in trouble when she saw the smile.
It's nothing, just trust him.
