The speaker glanced arrogantly at the young man who was a dozen steps away behind him, and then snorted coldly: "Besides, your Majesty also allowed him to lead the Cavalry Army? Doesn't this mean that I, the iron-blooded hero of Daxia, will follow him to die!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shen's eyes suddenly froze and he looked at the man a dozen steps in front of him.
I saw that the other party's skin was like bronze, his body was as strong as an ox, and his face was covered with gray-white beard and thorny hairs.
This old man is none other than the first-class general of Daxia Kingdom: Wang Xingba.
Chen Shen knew this person. He was the second-in-command in the military of Daxia after his grandfather Chen Zangfeng. His own cultivation had reached the peak of the Three-Star Xuan King. He had many soldiers under his command. He was also trusted by Xia Yuanlong and had overwhelming power.
Now that Wang Xingba took the lead, seven or eight lieutenant generals immediately jumped out to agree: "I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"After all, Major General Chen is too young. It may not be appropriate to accept the Knight Cavalry rashly. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
…
For a moment, the hall was filled with voices of opposition, all pointed at the silent young man who looked at his nose and mouth.
Seeing this, Wang Xingba curled up his lips and thought secretly: "Chen Zangfeng, you earned your reputation as the number one general in the imperial capital step by step on your own. I admire you! If you were to lead the Cavalry Army, my king would
Xing Ba has nothing to say!"
"But now the leader has become your grandson... After all, he is still too young, and an incompetent general will kill an army! You don't want to die in vain with your old brothers who have been through life and death for many years, right?"
"Leave your cavalry army to my command!"
When Wang Xingba thinks about it, once Chen Zangfeng dies, his Majesty will naturally find new masters for the elite soldiers under his control. Looking at the whole of Daxia, the only person who has the best hope of inheriting this power is his Grade A general Wang Xing.
So domineering...
After His Highness and everyone else had been shouting for a long time, Xia Yuanlong lazily pressed his hands to signal the ministers to be silent.
Then, the emperor looked at Chen Shen with a half-smile, and asked: "Chen Shaoqing, so many people are opposed to you leading an army by yourself, and they are even more opposed to handing over the rule of 20,000 knights to you alone."
"Don't you want to say something about this?"
"Damn! This old emperor is obviously trying to embarrass me on purpose... Yes, he is repaying the bad breath that I threatened him with before, right?"
The young man felt more enlightened in his heart: "You want to take this opportunity to suppress my arrogance so that I know how to exercise discretion in the future? Hum hum... Since you want me to tell you, I'll tell you!"
Chen Shen had made up his mind and immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the last general has a message that he would like to convey to all of you."
Xia Yuanlong raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
Chen Shen immediately looked around, facing everyone's curious eyes, and slowly said: "There is a saying that says that a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured! I wonder if you, sir, have heard of it?"
Wang Xingba immediately shook his brows: "Huh, Chen Shaoqing is so arrogant! Are you saying that I judge a book based on its cover and underestimate you?"
Everyone else also shook their heads, and there were many people who laughed and scorned.
The young man's expression was still as calm as water, as if his expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
He nodded decisively: "Yes, that's what I mean."
"Hahahaha! You, you are so arrogant!"
"Your Majesty, the most taboo thing about a general is arrogance and arrogance. Based on Chen Shaoqing's performance at this moment, I can conclude that he is definitely not suitable to lead an army alone!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please take back your orders, so as not to cause the death of brothers in the army."
…
The King of Daxia frowned. In fact, he did not expect Chen Shen to be so "two".
"How about I ask you to defend yourself a few words, even to express your opinion? Even if you are not favored by the ministers, it will not lead to more criticism."
"It's great now. You have exposed your character flaws in just a few words. You are frivolous and conceited! With your temperament, I can't even plead for you..."
After thinking about it, the King of Daxia cleared his throat and was about to speak to strip Chen Shen of his authority over the Qiaoqi Army. Unexpectedly, the young man living in the palace actually spoke before him -
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Chen Shen's mouth. He immediately raised his arm, stretched out his index finger, and pointed at Wang Xingba's location without hesitation: "General Wang, talking more is useless and a waste of time."
"You seem to be dissatisfied with me leading the troops, right? OK, if you're not convinced, let's fight! I wonder if General Wang dares to practice fighting with me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was startled and staggered——
"What? Is this kid Chen Shen crazy?"
"Hahahaha, he, he must have lost his mind! Maybe he has returned to his old stupid self? How dare he challenge General Wang to fight."
"Yes! A little brat who has never experienced military service for half a day, fighting with the famous general Wang Xingba? He is simply looking for abuse..."
"I bet he doesn't even understand what fighting soldiers means!"
…
Chen Shen still maintained the gesture of pointing his finger at Wang Xingba. This provocative action made the other party instantly furious: "Fighting with me? What a joke! Don't you know who you are?"
"What? General Wang doesn't dare?" Chen Shen withdrew his hand with a look of disdain, shook his head and sighed: "Haha, what a Grade A general, what a tiger general, after all, his reputation is just in vain..."
A-level general is a military rank, second only to the general; general Weihu is the title of Wang Xingba, which has the same meaning as Chen Shen's "loyal and brave general". They are both personally given by the king of Daxia to show his identity.
Nowadays, Chen Shen's words not only deny Wang Xingba's military rank, but also insult the other party's title. His words cannot be said to be innocuous.
Sure enough, Wang Xingba immediately became furious, clenching his fists tightly, and the "crack" of his joints resounded in the silent hall, which sounded particularly abrupt...
If the King of Daxia hadn't been present, this old guy would have rushed up to him and taught the young man a lesson with his fist as big as a sandbag!
"Boy, if you wanted to provoke me into fighting with you, then congratulations, you succeeded!"
After Wang Xingba finished speaking through gritted teeth, he decisively turned to face the King of Daxia, bowed his head and said, "I beg your Majesty to allow me to make a military agreement with that frivolous boy."
Xia Yuanlong stared at Wang Xingba for a moment, then turned to Chen Shen, and said in a neutral tone: "Are you sure you want to fight General Wang?"
"Yes!" Chen Shen nodded without hesitation: "Am I arrogant or confident? I just use General Wang's failure to make it known to the public because my words are unfounded!"
"Holy crap, this kid is so crazy!"
"You're saying that General Wang is doomed to lose before the fight begins? Tsk tsk... Even his grandfather Chen Zangfeng wouldn't dare to say that Du Bing can defeat Wang Xingba for sure, right?"
Chen Shen ignored the whispers of his ministers and only said to the King of Daxia: "The general will know that there are many rewards in fighting soldiers."
"If I lose, I will never mention the Cavalry Army again, and I will ask myself to be demoted three ranks, starting from the rank of captain at the bottom of the seventh rank."
"If I win, General Wang Xingba can give me 200 million gold coins, which is my way of rewarding the soldiers..."
