Facing Shi Gang's nonsense, Lei Ren said coldly: "Shi Gang, who are you? How dare you speak to me like this? General Su is not here, and I am the person with the highest official position here. Don't talk about General Su's death. I doubt it."
It's you who did it, hum, you are his retainer, the master is dead, and you are still alive, I think you are a spy of the Fire Eagle Legion!"
Lei Ren was really not afraid of trying to frame someone up and made Shi Gang turn blue and white in one sentence.
"You, you dare... to frame me?!" Shi Gang was furious with a red face.
Lei Ren asked directly and sternly: "General Shi, tell me, as a retainer of General Shi, you did not live and die with General Shi, but instead abandoned your master on the battlefield and escaped by yourself. What crime is this? Do you want it?
Go back to Xiandu City and try?"
When a retainer betrays his master, it is the crime of being quartered by five horses!
I didn't expect Lei Ren, a newly promoted general, to have such a strong tone. This sentence made Shi Gang's face tremble.
"Okay, okay, you two, things have come to this point, so don't argue. Let's discuss whether to go back to Xiandu City to apologize, or to stay and continue to cooperate with Agni City to resist the Fire Eagle Legion. This is
event……"
At this time, seeing Lei Ren and Shi Gang not giving each other a good look, Chen Chao came over to smooth things over.
Go back? Or stay?
This is indeed a big problem.
However, after pondering for a few seconds, Lei Ren and Shi Gang both said in unison: "I won't go back."
Hearing this, Chen Chao also smiled knowingly. His opinion was not to go back.
Returning to the Immortal City at this time, the Seventh Immortal Emperor is furious. Isn't that looking for death?
Especially since Chen Chao and Lei Ren are both civilian generals. When they return to the court in the Immortal City, it is probably impossible for the Seventh Immortal Emperor not to punish them severely under the instigation of those nobles, and they may even be killed for their crimes!
Therefore, at this time, you cannot go back. At least, you have to wait for a while until the Seventh Immortal Emperor is over his anger before going back.
Shi Gang didn't go back because of another consideration. Just as Lei Ren said, Su Chenglong died but he ran away. If anyone knew about his return, he would also be severely punished. Therefore, he also felt in his heart
He was hesitating when to go back to the Su family, and for what reason to report the death of Su Chenglong, the head of the Su family, in battle, so that he could avoid punishment. He would not go back until he found a suitable reason.
Thunder Blade's consideration is much simpler.
Lei Ren didn't think about going back and being punished. He was thinking about how to win the battle next!
This time, I finally got real power. If I haven't used my talents yet and just go back in despair, I'm afraid it will be impossible for Lei Ren to gain real power in the future.
Therefore, Lei Ren will not go back. He wants to make a name for himself here!
Although it is difficult, there is only one chance and he must seize it!
"Then, my opinion is not to go back. Next, if we don't go back, what are we going to do?" Chen Chao said.
Shi Gang snorted coldly and said nothing. A deputy general behind him stood up and said loudly: "Let's not talk about our plans for now. General Su died in the battle and the group is leaderless. I think next, we must first determine a leader!"
"Yes! I see, among the three generals, General Shigang is an important minister of the Su family. He has experience in nearly a hundred wars, large and small, and is highly regarded by General Su. Now that General Su is gone, it is Shigang who
The general will lead everyone."
"right!"
"Support General Shi!"
"Support General Shi!"
The soldiers behind Shi Gang began to make a noise, and they all showed off their power and wanted to make Shi Gang a leader.
Chen Chao looked at Thunder Blade but said nothing.
Lei Ren didn't speak either.
He already has a good idea of the leadership candidate——
It can only be him!
It has to be him!
Lei Ren glanced at Ni Qiang next to him. Ni Qiang naturally understood and stood up and said: "According to His Majesty the Emperor's arrangements before leaving, General Su is the commander-in-chief and General Lei Ren is the first deputy commander. Now General Su unfortunately died in battle.
The next person to lead everyone should naturally be General Lei! I support General Lei!"
"Support General Lei!"
"Support General Lei!"
The soldiers behind Ni Qiang began to shout Lei Ren's name.
At this time, the soldiers behind Shi Gang also began to shout Shi Gang's name. The voices of both sides were loud and they refused to give in to each other.
Seeing this situation, Lei Ren and Shi Gang both looked at Chen Chao.
The strength left now includes more than 2,000 people in Shigang, more than 1,000 people in Thunder Blade, and more than 4,000 people in Chen Chao. In fact, Chen Chao is the strongest.
However, Chen Chao is in a rather awkward position. There is no reason to support him becoming the leader after Su Chenglong, and Chen Chao seems to have no intention of fighting.
But regardless of whether Chen Chao disputes or not, Chen Chao's attitude is extremely important and even decisive. This is an indisputable fact.
"General Chen, what do you think?"
Shi Gang's face turned sideways and he looked at Chen Chao.
Chen Chao coughed twice and said: "The current situation is difficult. I think the position of commander-in-chief is not a sweet potato, but a hot potato... Therefore, whoever wants to become the commander-in-chief should be under greater pressure."
When he spoke, he glanced at Lei Ren and Shi Gang and continued: "According to the rules of the imperial court, if something happens to the coach, the first deputy commander should take over the power, ahem, so, I also support General Lei as the commander-in-chief."
As soon as these words came out, the shouting personnel on both sides fell silent.
Lei Ren's face was calm.
Everyone's eyes were directed at Shigang.
But Shi Gang's facial muscles twisted, and he suddenly shouted: "I won't do it! Why should Lei Ren be the coach? He's just a rookie! He hasn't been cleared of being a spy. If he becomes the coach, I will be the first one."
No!"
Shigang roared, and immediately after, his subordinates started shouting together, all of them dissatisfied with Lei Ren being the commander-in-chief.
Lei Ren looked around and saw that among the more than 2,000 people under Shi Gang's command, there were only more than 100 people shouting with Shi Gang, and he immediately felt confident.
These two thousand people were probably transferred from the local army and temporarily assigned to Su Chenglong.
These people were probably dissatisfied with Su Chenglong, and they had no feelings for Shigang after Su Chenglong died. Therefore, the only ones who shouted with Shigang were Shigang's men and Su Chenglong's bodyguards.
Seeing this situation, Lei Ren took a step, his true energy suddenly dispersed, looked directly at Shigang, and asked sternly: "Then what do you want?!"
The Thunder Blade's true energy emitted, forming a strong wind that blew directly towards Shigang and the others. Shigang and the others quickly mobilized their true energy to resist.
"You are the commander-in-chief, I won't do it!"
Shi Gang stared at the thunder blade, and then suddenly took out something from the space bag and said proudly: "This is General Su's military talisman. The military talisman is here, and I, Shi Gang, am the commander-in-chief!"
