The old barbarian king smiled bitterly and said: "General Chen, you don't ask for rewards for your merits...how can you make this king embarrassed?"
Chen Shen smiled slightly: "Haha, who said I don't ask for rewards? I just need to change the way of rewards."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Chen Shen rubbed his chin and said: "Hey, then after this war is over, let the Kai clan members go out collectively and bring back to me all the colorful stones they can find!"
"Ah? Is it that simple?" The old barbarian king blinked.
Chen Shenze laughed loudly: "Haha, it's that simple. Who told me that I like to collect those colorful stones the most!"
In fact, if the Kai clan can really mobilize the entire clan to help Chen Shen collect the Five Elements Spiritual Stones, the reward will be quite generous for him.
After saying that, Chen Shen pretended to be weak and coughed twice: "Cough cough cough... Since the surprise attack was successful, I feel relieved."
"I have to ask the king to send me back to the camp. I'm ashamed to say that I really deserve a good rest."
Not long after, the three returned to the city.
Because Kai Yishan was busy with the task of guarding the gate, it was inconvenient to accompany Chen Shen back to the military camp. When he was leaving, he reluctantly handed him a piece of jade pendant, held his hand and said, "Brother Chen, take good care of yourself."
, if you get bored during this period, you can go to our Guards Zhenbei Army Stronghold."
"With this token, you can come and go freely even to my handsome tent."
"Let me tell you quietly, there are plenty of fine wines and meats in the handsome tent!"
"Haha, right? Then I will be disrespectful, little brother." Chen Shen happily took the jade pendant.
After the old barbarian king protected Chen Shen and rode away on his fierce horse, the surrounding soldiers and generals who were guarding the city couldn't help but started discussing heatedly——
"Oh my God, did I read that right?"
"General Kai Yishan actually gave the jade pendant he had worn for more than ten years, his favorite trophy, to Major General Chen Shen?"
"Uh... I suspect I heard it wrong! General Kai Yishan actually called General Chen 'little brother Chen'?"
"I still remember that half a day ago, when General Kai Yishan stopped the King here, he still had a lukewarm and unfamiliar face towards General Chen Shen."
"Why did he treat him like a brother after only being out for a long time?" "Isn't it true? General Chen is really a magical young man. First, Lieutenant General Kai Haiping admired him, and then His Majesty the King.
I rode with him and took good care of him."
"Up to now... even the always stern General Kai Yishan ran away with him for a long time, and when he came back, he treated him like a brother!"
"Oh~~ It's so enviable! When can I enjoy this kind of treatment?"
"Speaking of which, General Chen Shen and I are both major generals. But why is the gap between us so big?"
…
After carrying Chen Shen back to the commander's tent and settling everything, the old barbarian king rushed back to the king's tent without stopping.
The old man opened his mouth to express his special praise for the achievements of Chen Shen, Kaiqili, and the entire Gui Zi Hao Black Iron Legion, but did not go into details about what happened.
As soon as this news came out, almost all the corps exploded——
"What? Chen Shen and the king went out for a while, then set fire to the enemy camp, destroyed most of the enemy's siege equipment, destroyed their morale, and dampened their fighting spirit?"
"Is this...really fake?"
"Isn't this too exaggerated? Could it be that His Highness the King deliberately found an excuse to promote Chen Shen, Kaiqili and others in order to force them to receive military honors?"
"Well, although the king is old, he has always been fair and just in dealing with things. I think it's more than that."
…
Not long after, Yi Feng also received the news, and his face suddenly became long: "Why, how could this happen?"
"It stands to reason that after listening to my advice, that old man should be even more suspicious of Chen Shencai."
"Otherwise, the old guy wouldn't have sent me a secret order asking me to move out of my house and live in an inn closer to Chenshen Camp."
"He also made it clear to me: His move is to use the power of our Yi clan to control Chen Shen when necessary."
"As the old immortal king said: Chen Shen is a big businessman after all. If he has any special means that people in the tribe cannot find out, I still need to rely on my eyesight."
"If that's the case, why did he..."
After a moment, Yi Feng, who had an unhappy look on his face, suddenly seemed to have figured it out, and his sinister eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait, I understand, I understand, hahahahaha!" "This must be the king's.
Lao Bu Shi did it deliberately and implemented a strategy of flattering and killing Chen Shen."
"This Chen Shen, and even the process of the entire Gui Zi Hao Black Iron Legion's military merits, are all vague and vague, and must have caused dissatisfaction among many people in the army."
"As long as the incident ferments, there is no need for the old barbarian king to take action himself. The many officers and soldiers of the Kai clan alone will no longer be able to tolerate Chen Shen!"
"Hey hey hey, great! Master, I'll be right here watching you two biting dogs, making a mouthful of hair..."
Time flew by like a fleeting moment, and three more days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the morning of this day, Chen Shen was invited by Kai Yishan and was enjoying delicious food and drinks in his handsome tent when he suddenly heard the cool sound of divine thoughts——
"Cool~ Boss, the enemy is now about 120 miles away from the Kai clan city."
"If we follow the previous marching rules, we will be able to reach the city at almost noon tomorrow."
"In addition, they are dividing the army into three groups. They say that after the general wins, they will attack the city from three directions at the same time."
"Oh? Fighting general..."
When Chen Shen heard this, his eyes narrowed: "It seems that the Da clan is determined to win the duel!"
"Where do they have the confidence? Could it be those two masked men?"
Ever since the Da clan's army entered a land three hundred miles away, their every move has been seen in the eyes of the skeleton ambushes from all sides.
The two masked old men sent by the Daxiang clan to support him followed the king of the Da clan almost every step of the way.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Chen Shen not to doubt him.
"Okay, I understand, continue to monitor the enemy's every move closely."
"clear!"
At this moment, Kai Yishan raised his wine glass high: "Come on, come on, let's eat and drink to our heart's content while I'm taking a break from my shift!"
"That's natural."
Chen Shen nodded in agreement, but did not forget to joke: "It's just a bitter experience for the old general. I can't drink alcohol because of military duties, so I can only drink tea."
"Alas! What do you call me, old general?"
Kai Yishan frowned deliberately: "How many times have I told you, just call me brother!"
"You haven't changed your tune for so long. Do you think you're looking down on me, my old brother?"
Chen Shen hurriedly said, "How dare you drink the wine in the cup..."
