"After the soldiers were defeated, patients appeared in the army. The soldiers' high temperature persisted. Coupled with the cold weather, the number of deaths caused by the patients this time was probably very large, which has made all the soldiers feel fear.
.”
"You said many people died? But why wasn't it mentioned in the express report?"
After the emperor heard this, he subconsciously asked.
"Father, in the face of so many things that suddenly happened, I thought that the fifth brother was probably without a master at this time. That's why I didn't mention it. The situation was not right. Long Qi had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat. Unexpectedly, the Ross Kingdom sent people,
But they pursued them, and this pursuit made the already panicked army even more panicked."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid the morale accumulated through victory will be completely gone."
The emperor spoke and sighed.
"This should be the case. Facing the pursuing troops, a group of generals must lead their troops and voluntarily stay to resist. However, the soldiers who have no morale have to face an enemy as strong as a bear. I am afraid that defeat is inevitable.
The generals who died in the battle, I think they, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, also thought of this situation."
"Knowing that he was going to die, knowing that he was outmatched, but he still stayed behind to stop the enemy one by one. The general died on the battlefield, which is both heroic and tragic, eh..."
The emperor finished his words and sighed directly.
Cough cough cough...then followed by a series of more violent coughs.
When Long Lin saw this, he wanted to step forward again.
But the emperor stretched out a hand and stopped him directly.
The other hand held a handkerchief, covering the corner of his mouth.
After taking off the handkerchief, the blood was shocking.
Long Lin felt very uncomfortable at this moment.
Among the generals who died in the battle was his father-in-law.
"Father..."
"Long Lin, you said they thought of it, but what about Long Qi? Did Long Qi think of it? Why did he still leave them behind and make such a fearless sacrifice?"
After hearing this question, Long Lin was immediately shocked.
Right now is just analysis, not the time for accountability.
"Father, I don't know. Although the situation was critical at that time, I think the fifth brother must have thought of it, but his arrangement was probably a helpless move. It is possible that this was both his idea and the strong request of the generals.
, only if they stay can they delay the enemy's pursuit and allow more people to escape in time."
After hearing this, the emperor fell silent and his anger dissipated somewhat.
"A helpless move? What a helpless move. That is the most powerful force in the Dragon Dynasty. Those generals are all selected after decades. It is easy to get thousands of armies, but hard to find one general. This is
What a huge damage, Long Qi really became the sinner of the entire dynasty this time."
Although the anger has subsided, the anger in the voice can still be heard, and it is very strong.
Long Lin was relatively calm, and he didn't think it was Long Qi's fault.
He seemed to understand that Long Qi would do such a thing.
"Father, I feel that the fault does not lie with Fifth Brother."
"It's not his fault? Whose fault could it be?" The emperor snorted coldly.
"Father, the victory of the army is the moment when the morale of the army is at its best. At that time, if it were not for the extremely cold weather, wherever the army goes, it will definitely be unstoppable. If it were to withdraw at that time, I am afraid that no one can stop it.
I won’t give in.”
"Although this is true, he didn't know the enemy's situation and launched an attack rashly. Isn't it his fault as the commander-in-chief?" The emperor said angrily.
After saying this, Long Lin had no choice but to shut up.
No matter how he wins, the huge credit will definitely fall on Long Qi, but once he loses, he can only bear all the blame.
Thinking about it this way, it seems to make perfect sense.
A very ancient saying suddenly came to his mind.
No harm to the family?
At first glance, this sentence seemed to him to be no problem.
But think about it the other way around? Since the trouble does not affect the family, what about the blessing? Then the huge wealth created by the person who caused the trouble? Shouldn’t it also not affect the family? Is this more fair?
Thinking of this, Long Lin's mouth suddenly showed a wry smile.
At this moment, the emperor happened to see it.
"What? You seem very happy that Long Qi lost?"
Upon hearing this, Long Lin immediately raised his head.
The emperor's angry look could be clearly seen in his eyes.
He thought for a while and had no intention of explaining anything, so he didn't speak.
"What are you laughing at? Are you reading Long Qi's joke?"
The emperor was reluctant and asked directly again.
This time, Long Lin took a deep breath and had no choice but to speak.
"Father, I am afraid that everyone in the dynasty now feels that the person who will benefit the most from this incident will be me. Logically speaking, I should be happy when such a thing happens, but to be honest,
Father, I really don’t feel happy. On the contrary, I feel a little sad. I have no interest in the throne, but this incident caused my father-in-law, General Shangguan, to die on the battlefield. After hearing this, Xueer will definitely
Very sad and sad.”
hehe......
There was a sneer on the corner of the emperor's mouth.
"I am the emperor, the most majestic person in the world, above all people under heaven and earth. Is it possible that in your heart, I am not as good as your Xue'er and your father-in-law? Is it possible that they are even more important than this emperor?
important?"
After hearing this, Long Lin showed a helpless smile.
How come this father is so extreme when he speaks?
"Father, if there is no one in this world, just make you the lord of this world, do you think it is really interesting?"
Long Lin was not polite and spoke out his thoughts directly.
Who is more important, the person? Or the throne? Is it so difficult to choose?
"Father, the emperor has supreme imperial power. He can command the world and control the life and death of most people. But is this the greatest satisfaction and happiness? All of this, this feeling of superiority, only comes from being under strong pressure.
It’s just a small achievement.”
After Long Lin said these words, the emperor's eyes gradually became complicated.
Seeing that his father didn't speak, Long Lin couldn't help but laugh.
"Father, there are tens of thousands of people living in this world, but before becoming an official, I'm afraid not even one ten thousandth of them are, and the person who becomes the emperor is only one among hundreds of millions of people.
, if being an emperor is the meaning of the world? Then wouldn’t it mean that so many people’s lives are meaningless and they should all die?”
"It's ridiculous. You are using strong words to make excuses. Is there anything else in the world that can be compared with becoming an emperor?"
The emperor felt that he was greatly shocked in his heart.
Such thoughts were completely different from what he had thought before.
"Father, you are wrong. In this world, there is far more peace of mind than becoming an emperor. It's just that you haven't encountered it and don't know about it. I just gave a simple example. If, Father, you become the person who will subjugate your country.
Jun, do you think such an emperor is really meaningful to you?"
"Shut up, how could I become the king of a subjugated country?"
The emperor stood up directly and glared angrily. In anger, his breathing immediately became no longer smooth.
Cough cough cough......
A violent coughing sound immediately erupted from his mouth.
