Surprise! The downtrodden prince turned out to be a sinister villain

Chapter 119 119: Rejection

Lin Xiao took the letter that Wu Huang handed over, and read it slowly, the more he looked at it, the more sarcasm on his face became, and finally he just laughed and said: "Our emperor, that's all he can do."

Wu Huang was at a loss when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Master, what did you say in the Yang You letter?"

"The border is in a hurry, there are no generals in the court, and these ministers are trying to plot against the king!"

Wu Huang's expression froze for a moment, and then he asked back: "Master, what do you mean?"

Lin Xiao got up and shook the robe on his body, and said lightly: "Since the idea is all on this king, if this king doesn't go, then it's not too cowardly."

After hearing this, Wu Huang was overjoyed, "Master, are you going back to the northwest?"

As long as the master returns to the northwest, it means returning to the base camp. Even if the emperor is very powerful, there is nothing he can do about them.

Lin Xiao gave Wu Huang an angry look, and asked, "Otherwise?"

Wu Huang immediately lowered his head, feeling very annoyed in his heart, why has his brain become more and more difficult since he came here!

Half a month later, news suddenly came from the capital, and a fast horse appeared directly at the door of Ye Li's house.

The visitor, dressed in official clothes, hurriedly got off his horse and knocked on the door.

The black wooden door of Ye Li's house was knocked loudly.

Ye Lizheng was reading in the room with his two children, when he heard the voice he was startled, and subconsciously looked towards Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao frowned, and said to Wu Huang who was dozing off beside him, "Go and see who it is?"

People in the village came to Ye Li to play and shouted at the door, no one would knock on the door so loudly.

Wu Huang paused, and hurriedly walked out.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw an official standing outside the door, and asked respectfully, "Is Lord Xiao here?"

Wu Huang had dealt with this kind of officials a lot before, so his expression was very natural, and he replied without a trace of panic: "Yes, please come in." After speaking, he stepped aside and let the officials come in.

This kind of urgent report has been seen by any high-ranking official, and his expression is very natural. He nodded slightly and walked quickly towards the house.

As soon as he entered the door and saw Lin Xiao, he knelt down, "My subordinates see the prince."

Lin Xiao sat on the first seat with his expression unchanged, but Ye Li frowned unconsciously.

Since she came here, she hasn't seen such a scene except for running away and being caught.

The two children had never seen each other before, and they stared at Lin Xiao and the officer without blinking.

The official got up after seeing Lin Xiao, took out a roll of shining imperial edict from his sleeve and opened it.

Lin Xiao looked at the imperial decree as stable as Mount Tai, and Ye Li looked at the imperial decree, wanting to know what was written on it, and forgot to salute, let alone the two young ones.

Only Wu Huang wanted to salute, but when he saw a few masters who were as stable as Mount Tai, he seemed to follow suit, standing upright as if he hadn't seen them.

The official messenger who delivered the letter had been watching the people quietly from the corner of his eye since he opened the imperial decree. Seeing that no one was kneeling down, he cleared his throat and read: "By God, the emperor said: Barbarians are coming, and the northwest is in a hurry. I ordered King Xiao to hurry to the northwest to eliminate the barbarians."

Seeing that Lin Xiao hadn't moved yet after announcing the decree, the official could only remind in a low voice, "My lord, it's time to accept the decree."

Lin Xiao looked cold and unmoved, "Where's the Tiger Talisman in the Northwest?"

"How can I lead my troops without a tiger talisman?"

After hearing this, the officer looked embarrassed, "Go back to the prince, your majesty said that the prince can mobilize the Northwest Army without the tiger charm."

Lin Xiao sneered after hearing this, he never thought that the emperor would not forget to plot against him at such a time.

When he really mobilizes the Northwest Army without the Tiger Talisman, then he can be called a rebel at will. He is not the old Lin Xiao, he is not so stupid.

"Go back and report to the emperor, and say that without the tiger talisman, the king can't mobilize the Northwest army, and can't eliminate the barbarians, so let him find someone else!" After finishing speaking, he no longer glanced at the officer, but said to Wu Huang, "Seeing off the guests! "

Wu Huang immediately stepped forward and unceremoniously led the official away.

The officer was sent away by Wu Huang with a gloomy face. He looked back at the house and had no choice but to leave.

Five days later, the emperor in the capital was furious when he received the news that Lin Xiao refused to lead the army.

All the memorials on the desk were swept to the ground, and then he pointed at the ministers underneath and cursed: "What's the use of raising you people!"

"None of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty can lead troops to fight."

While talking, he walked back and forth with arms crossed, seeing that none of them moved, he couldn't help cursing: "Everyone is dumb, talk!"

The emperor's confidantes looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, a minister with a treacherous face stood up and cried, "Your Majesty, it's not all our fault!"

"The northwestern army has always been under the control of King Xiao. The generals we sent in the past can't command them at all, so why are they leading the army?"

The anger on the emperor's face deepened when he heard that, "With no one to lead the troops, this barbarian is about to hit my doorstep, what do you think should be done?"

The minister lowered his head and turned around murmuringly, asking, "Where is King Xiao?"

The emperor waved his hand and replied angrily: "Don't mention him to me!"

"He is now forcing me to ask for a tiger talisman! If the tiger talisman of the Northwest Army is given to him, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return."

"He thinks beautifully!"

As soon as the ministers heard it, they immediately looked at me and I looked at you, and whispered to each other, all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.

"Except King Xiao, who else can command the Northwest Army?" the emperor calmed down and continued to ask.

The treacherous minister hesitated for a moment and replied: "Back to the emperor, Zheng Taishi, who was stationed in the southern border, once stayed in the northwest. Let him go to the northwest to lead the army to fight."

As soon as these words came out, the minister with a Chinese face immediately stood up and retorted: "No, there is also constant turmoil in southern Xinjiang. It is absolutely impossible to transfer Grand Master Zheng away at this time."

"Furthermore, the environment in southern Xinjiang is different from that in the northwest. The change of the two generals will inevitably cause dissatisfaction. I'm afraid it is not a good thing for our dynasty."

The emperor frowned after hearing this, and asked with a cold face: "According to Mr. Zhao, the northwest can only be left by King Xiao?"

Master Zhao resisted the emperor's strange gaze, and replied firmly: "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the adult with a treacherous face immediately retorted: "Master Zhao, don't you mean to hand over the Northwest Army to King Xiao?"

"Aren't you with King Xiao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zhao knelt down on the ground immediately, and replied firmly: "I have absolutely no such intention."

"I just feel that we can't grasp the tiger talisman in the Northwest Army, so it's better to hand it over to King Xiao, drive the barbarians away first, and keep my dynasty."

The adult with a sinister face sneered and retorted honestly: "Then how do you know that King Xiao won't bite us back after taking the tiger charm?"
