After inviting Long Qi to sit down, Lei Xiao also sat next to Long Qi.
He didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at Lei Ming.
It doesn't matter that Long Qi is here, but there are some words that should be just in case and not spread out.
After Lei Ming returned, Lei Xiao looked at Long Qi.
Long Qi's body was covered in scars and bloodstains were everywhere, which was clearly visible.
For Long Qi to come here, Lei Xiao felt somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, after the failure, Long Qi would try his best to do something right.
He had also heard the news that Long Qi was about to arrive in the capital, but even the emperor did not mention it.
His status in the imperial court was somewhat special. Even if he had the intention to welcome Long Qi, he would not do such a thing rashly.
Seeing Long Qi's face full of decadence, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Grandson, there are winners and losers in battles. This has been true since ancient times. You not only lose but also win. Don't be discouraged by this. You have to look to the future."
Lei Xiao's words were serious and thoughtful, and Long Qi immediately raised his head.
"Grandpa, I understand."
After hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and nodded.
"It's good if you understand. You must have been to the Emperor's place, right?"
"Yes, grandpa, I came to you right away as soon as I came out from my father's place. My father asked me to discuss with you to comfort the families of those who died."
Long Qi spoke truthfully and said it directly.
These words fell into Lei Xiao's ears, and he was immediately stunned for a moment.
"Grandson, is it the Emperor's intention that you come here?"
"Yes, grandpa, what's wrong?" Long Qi asked in confusion.
After he finished speaking, Long Qi's expression wrinkled slightly, revealing a trace of thought.
Isn't it normal to discuss matters of appeasement with Grandpa Lei?
After being confirmed again, Lei Xiao's expression clearly showed a hint of joy.
A breath of relaxation came out of that mouth.
call......
"Okay, that's good. It seems that the emperor has not given up on you."
After hearing this, Long Qi felt confused.
"Grandpa, what do you mean by this? I met my father. He didn't punish me. He just let me recover and then comforted the family members who died. But the enemy is facing us, and this matter is...
Because of me, how can I have such leisure, my father has already handed over this matter to Long Lin to handle."
After hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded.
"Grandson, the emperor has indeed given this matter to Long Lin. It is of great importance. Long Lin is indeed outstanding, but this does not mean that the emperor has completely given up on you. The emperor's
I still have you in my heart, if it wasn't like this, I wouldn't let you come."
"Grandpa, you mean..."
After Long Qi finished speaking, a hint of joy appeared on his cheeks.
"That's right, grandson, you just suffered a defeat. The situation is not too bad. Although the ministers in the cabinet have had some changes in their minds, they may have resented Long Lin for a long time. You still have a chance.
,Is the emperor's body okay now?"
Upon hearing this, Long Qi's face was immediately shocked.
"Grandpa, why did my father's body become like this? Not long after I met my father, he coughed up blood severely. I wanted to meet the imperial doctor who treated my father, but there was no chance."
After hearing this, Lei Xiao's expression became a little complicated.
"It's true. I have never quite understood why the emperor handed over such an important matter to Long Lin. It seems that this is the reason. The emperor is already beyond his capabilities. This matter is really a blow to the emperor.
It's too big, and an army of one million people will be overturned, and the entire Dragon Dynasty will become in danger."
From these words, Long Qi vaguely understood.
In his heart, a strong sense of self-blame surged into his heart again.
"My father's body turns out to be really because of me. It's all my fault."
"Long Qi, what happened has happened. You have to make amends as much as possible and comfort the families of the victims. This is indeed the most important thing you should do now."
"Grandpa, is there anything more important right now than resisting the invasion of powerful enemies? What are the plans for Long Lin now?"
Long Qi looked at Lei Xiao and asked hurriedly.
After hearing this, Lei Xiao's expression became slightly complicated.
"Grandson, this matter has been handed over to Long Lin. You shouldn't worry too much about your current situation. Although I can't think of any way for Long Lin to resist the invading powerful enemy, but for this matter
, the emperor seems very relieved, which proves that Long Lin must indeed have a solution."
"He... actually has a way?" Long Qi said in shock.
"Yes, even I don't know the specific method. Now officials of all sizes are acting according to Long Lin's orders. The enemy is getting closer and closer. I am also very anxious. But on Long Lin's side, currently
So far, we haven't done anything too big, we just appease the people and recruited some people as soldiers near the capital."
Lei Xiao briefly stated what he knew.
After hearing this, Long Qi's mouth immediately revealed a sneer.
"Long Lin's method is to rely on the people to repel those powerful enemies? Even the army that has been trained for many years has been defeated by the opponent. If the people go up, what is the difference between that and death?"
He also thought about this method on the way back.
However, after a brief discussion with Zhu Yun and the others, they were completely overturned. This method was completely unworkable and would only arouse greater panic among the people.
Lei Xiao looked at it and his eyes became complicated.
He had never thought of this, but he felt that the matter was definitely not that simple. If it was just like this, then the emperor would definitely not leave this matter to Long Lin to take full responsibility.
"Grandson, it's hard to say. It's hard to say anything. Right now you should do your best. This is a critical moment. Your Majesty must have other arrangements. In the past few days, I will go with you to appease those people.
Family members.”
After hearing this, Long Qi nodded.
The father has been handed over to Long Lin, and he is completely unable to participate now.
No matter how worried I was, I could only wait for Long Lin's results.
"Grandpa, don't be impatient. After I left the capital for the expedition, what other major events happened in the court? Especially Long Lin, what did he do?"
After hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled and nodded.
He was naturally very clear about what Long Lin had done.
He opened his mouth slowly and told some things in the past.
After a long time, Long Qi left here. When he returned to his mansion, an imperial doctor was already waiting for him in his mansion. After seeing his wife, he could only comfort her with a forced smile.
In the following days, he took the three guards around him and Zhu Yun, accompanied Lei Xiao, and began to comfort the families of those who died.
The first place we went to was naturally the residence of the old general Shangguan.
The old general, who had suffered a huge blow, had been bedridden since he returned to his mansion. His face was haggard, and his overall condition looked very bad.
Long Qi was still in awe of this old general. After the group arrived, they slowly walked in.
