The Long Qi in front of him had changed significantly from before he set off.
Before leaving, he was obviously high-spirited and full of confidence. The armor he was originally wearing shone with a cold light, and his appearance was spotless.
But now, the battle armor is covered with sword marks, and the bright silver battle armor has already been completely dyed red with blood.
Although he couldn't see the scene of fighting at all.
But just by looking at the blood-stained battle armor, one can fully see how dangerous Long Qi is every time he faces a fierce battle.
"Son, it'll be good if you come back, that'll be good."
Hearing the emperor's low words, Long Qi raised his head instantly.
In the past, my father's voice had never been like this. It was so strong and powerful that people couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
But now his voice sounded like he was dying.
"Father, it's all my son's fault. If my son hadn't insisted on going his own way and continued to go north to expand the territory, the current situation would not have been caused, and those soldiers would not have died tragically because of this. I am ashamed of my father.
I am ashamed of those soldiers who died."
This incident had a huge impact on his heart.
Seeing Long Qi's tearful expression, the emperor sighed.
"My child, your idea is actually right. What's wrong is that you are too impatient, do not understand the situation, and attack rashly, which will lead to a huge defeat. Ahem..."
As the emperor was talking, he suddenly started coughing violently.
"Father...Father..."
Seeing this in his eyes, Long Qi was immediately shocked.
He knelt on the ground and moved quickly to the emperor's bedside.
The handkerchief held by the emperor had a large mass of blood on it.
Seeing such a scene, Long Qi's eyes widened in shock, filled with horror.
"Father, what's wrong with your body? Where is the imperial doctor? Send the imperial doctor here quickly..."
Long Qi wanted to continue shouting, but the emperor stretched out his hand to stop him.
"My child, my body can still bear it. The imperial doctor has checked it out and there is nothing serious. I have been taking medicine for the past few days. Maybe I am too tired."
The emperor said with a wry smile on his face.
"Father, is your illness caused by your defeat in the war?"
Long Qi asked carefully, with a look of self-blame in his eyes.
If things could happen again, he would definitely control his inflated mentality and lead the army back in triumph.
Seeing the emperor, his face looked extremely haggard.
His heart was full of worry and regret.
The hot tears in my eyes couldn't help but fall silently again.
The emperor reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Long Qi's eyes.
"My child, my body is caused by long-term fatigue. It is not because of you. A failure is nothing. You have to cheer up. Fortunately, the current situation is not that bad. There is still room for remedy. It depends on you for the sake of the court.
, My body is covered with scars, and my heart is full of intolerance. During this time, you have been cultivating yourself."
After hearing this, Long Qi felt doubtful.
"Father, the enemy's army is coming soon. I can't bear it. Father, do you have a way to deal with the enemy? I am willing to lead the army in person and fight the enemy to the death. I will never let them enter the capital.
.”
Looking at Long Qi, the emperor sighed in his heart.
"My child, you need a good rest now. I have handed over this matter to Long Lin. He will have a way to resist the enemy's attack. In this battle, the court's losses are unprecedentedly serious. You must be deeply aware of it."
Reflect on it, go and express condolences to those soldiers who died one by one, and don’t let them feel cold towards you because of this.”
"What? Long Lin? What can he do? This...impossible, his body is weak, and he has never experienced a confrontation between two armies. The critical moment now is left to Long Lin.
Do it, Father, is this appropriate?"
When he heard that it was Long Lin who was handling the matter, he was instantly shocked.
A strong worry inexplicably arose in his heart.
If it were another person, he probably wouldn't have such a strong reaction.
The emperor saw it in his eyes, how could he not think of it.
"My child, your current state of mind is so chaotic, how can you deal with big things? Temporary success or failure is nothing. You have to put the world of Long Dynasty first. The most important thing you should do now is to adjust your mentality and go
My regards to the families of those soldiers who died."
"Father, in case of failure...my son..."
After hearing this, the emperor shook his head slightly.
"Go ahead, son, what kind of reward should be given to the dead soldiers, or what posthumous titles need to be added, you can discuss it with your grandfather Lei Xiao and deal with it properly."
Seeing the tired look on the emperor's face, Long Qi couldn't help but open his mouth.
Regarding this matter, my father seems to have already made up his mind.
"Yes, Father, please take care of yourself. I will take my leave."
After seeing the emperor nodding, Long Qi stood up and slowly backed out.
From beginning to end, his father never criticized him.
This actually made him feel even more confused.
After arriving outside, Mr. Xishun was very respectful to him.
With a slight sigh, he left here and went straight to Lei Mansion.
If his father hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have thought of his grandfather.
If Grandpa Lei came forward with him, the appeasement matter would definitely be much easier than if he went alone.
But what worried him most was the approaching enemy troops.
After entering the capital, he also faintly felt some changes. Maybe those were the result of Long Lin's arrangement.
Now, he urgently needs to know the specific situation of the imperial court. It is impossible for Grandpa Lei to know nothing about this matter.
His speed was very fast and he soon arrived outside Lei Mansion.
The servants guarding the mansion were immediately shocked when they saw it was Long Qizhi.
There was an uproar all over the world, how could they not know about it?
The person in front of me is Long Qi, the brave king who came back alive from a defeated battle.
Although King Yong was defeated and almost all the millions of troops were killed, he was still King King Yong of the imperial court and the grandson of Mr. Lei in the mansion. Lei Mansion valued this grandson far more than Long Lin.
Their expressions were still the same as before, very respectful.
Long Qi stepped forward and looked at several people.
"Is grandpa at the house?"
"Here, King Yong, come with me."
After the servant finished speaking, he led Long Qi towards the inside.
Another servant should run inside first to make the announcement.
Long Qi was not too unfamiliar with this place.
He has been here several times, both in his previous life and in this life. Everything inside has hardly changed. Where is his grandfather? He also knows that although the mansion is large, he will not go in the wrong direction.
He did not refuse the guidance of this servant.
When they arrived in the backyard, Lei Xiao and Lei Ming took the initiative to come out.
After seeing Long Qi, he hurriedly greeted him.
There was a trace of worry and a trace of happiness in the expressions of the two of them.
Seeing this, Long Qi cupped his hands and bowed slightly.
"Grandpa, uncle, I'm back."
"Okay, as long as you come back alive, you all go down, grandson, and come into the house to talk."
Lei Xiao didn't say much, he stepped forward and took Long Qi's hand, walking towards the house.
After entering the house, Lei Ming asked the maid to serve hot tea. After the maid left, he closed the door completely.
Long Qi sat there, his eyes full of complex expressions.
