Chapter 223

Cheng Dalei was taken aback, looking at the old man's age, plus his cheeks that were somewhat similar to Li Wan'er......

Won't it, won't it......

Think about Li Xingya, who was in micro clothes, Li Wan'er, who likes to dress up as a man, and the old man in front of him......

I rub, it turns out that your family has this ancestor.

Cheng Dalei took a deep breath, took a deep breath, calmed down his pounding heart, and treated everything as if it hadn't happened, was it a little too ruthless just now, just as if he didn't recognize it.

"Old man......" The old man's face was obviously a little unsightly.

"Yes, that's what we call him. ”

"Do you still call it that?"

"Ten thousand years of longevity is the old, the head of the world is the head, is there anything wrong with such a respectful title to His Majesty Emperor Ming?" Cheng Dalei looked ignorant.

"Uh, okay. The old man's face was a little pale, and he stretched out his hand to help Cheng Dalei wipe his sweat: "Why do you keep sweating on your face, is it uncomfortable?"

"It's hot, it's too hot. Cheng Da Lei's heart was pounding, the dignified Emperor Ming actually wiped my sweat for me, but don't wipe my beard off.

Fortunately, the old man only made a symbolic gesture, and then put down the handkerchief.

"If you have a meritorious role in saving the driver this time, the old man will definitely reward you. ”

"Old man?"

"Your Majesty Emperor Ming, aren't you all called that. ”

"Uh, hehe. Cheng Dalei laughed dryly: It's quite a grudge.

"This time, you will definitely be promoted to the rank of knight, have you thought about what reward you want?"

"Reward!" Cheng Dalei sighed lightly: "Sacrificing one's life to protect oneself is not what a courtier should do, if you say reward, what kind of reward is more important than your life." ”

"Hehe, it looks like you're going to refuse the reward?"

"No, I won't refuse. Cheng Dalei said firmly: "I want Emperor Ming to send me to the most dangerous place, the most difficult place to fight, as a soldier, the horse leather shroud, and die on the battlefield, is the biggest reward for me." ”

"Huh......" The old man paused obviously: "I didn't expect you to be quite loyal." ”

"It's not about loyalty, I think it's just what a soldier should do, it's just that there are too few people who can do it, so it seems that I'm a little loyal. ”

The old man paused again and sighed, "The battle in the northwest should be difficult, right?"

"It's hard to fight. Cheng Dalei subconsciously remembered the battle of Qingniu Mountain.

"Yes, it's hard to fight, it's been defeated repeatedly, and the huge empire can't stop a group of barbarians. ”

After Cheng Dalei experienced the battle of Qingniu Mountain, he sometimes pondered these things, he said casually: "Dawu founded the country with agriculture, and the Rong people lived by grass, and the empire defeated the Rong people a hundred times, but in fact, it could not hurt the vitality of the Rong people, and as long as the empire was defeated once, it would hurt the muscles and bones." The attack could not be attacked, so it had to be defended according to the city, and a long line of defense from east to west was a huge drain on the national strength of the empire, so it could only be defended weaker and weaker, and weaker and weaker. ”

"The more you guard, the weaker you are, the weaker you are, you have some sense. The old man said, "Then the empire can only go on like this?"

"It's not that there is no way to ......" Cheng Dalei suddenly remembered that the person sitting in front of him was the emperor of the empire, and he was not a keyboard warrior who talked nonsense.

"Say, why don't you keep talking, what can you do?"

"Please have an elite army to smash the Yellow Dragon and completely defeat the Rong people. ”

"The empire does not have such elite soldiers, and it cannot support such a northern expedition. The old man was a little disappointed, but that's it.

"There are strong methods, weak and weak methods, but there is still a way, but I don't dare to say it. ”

"Why don't you say it, I ...... Whatever you want. ”

As expected, he is the king of a country who manipulates the lives of tens of millions of people, and as soon as he raised his eyes, Cheng Dalei felt the pressure like a mountain.

"It's a bit crazy. Cheng Dalei said: "Let go of a hole in the northwest, lead the army deep, use the complex landform of the empire as the battlefield, close the door to fight dogs, encircle the point to send reinforcements, and gradually swallow the invading Rong people, and severely frustrate the vitality of the Rong people." ”

"Shut down the door and beat the dogs? Are you saying that at the cost of the lives of millions of people, you took the initiative to bring in the Rong people, and even gave up Chang'an. ”

Cheng Dalei nodded lightly.

"No, it's crazy, it's cruel. ”

Emperor Ming was a little distracted, and at this moment he had probably judged that Cheng Dalei should have known who he was.

"There's no other way. ”

Emperor Ming was silent for a while, looked at Cheng Dalei, and said slowly: "You are stronger than I imagined, I think that old man of Emperor Ming will not let you be a little lieutenant again." Finally, I have one more question. ”

"Please speak?" Cheng Dalei felt that he had already mixed up, and Emperor Ming was obviously not angry.

"If a person is sick, medicine can be cured, and when a country is sick, there can be a medicine doctor, do you think the empire still has medicine to save it?"

Cheng Dalei was excited, should this be talked about by a doctor and a patient, I am afraid, Emperor Ming has already understood that he has recognized the identity of the other party.

The Rong clan is servant, the imperial power is declining, and at a glance, the wealthy families are fighting for power, and the princes are in disobedience...... A fool can see this situation, and Emperor Ming himself will not understand.

The answer is so simple that it only takes one word, but the upper lip touches the lower lip, but in the face of the emperor, do you dare to tell the truth.

Cheng Dalei raised his head to meet Emperor Ming's scorching gaze, and at this time, the two of them collided, and their hearts were like mirrors.

Cheng Dalei waved his hand as he pretended not to know anything.

"It's hopeless. ”

When Emperor Ming left the room, his old body seemed to be a little more rickety, looking at his back, a trace of compassion suddenly rose in Cheng Dalei's heart.

This is naturally a very ridiculous thing, but at that moment, Cheng Dalei really felt that he was actually quite pitiful.

Outside the hospital, Liu Aji hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand to help the old man, and the two walked forward along the street, through the mottled shadows of the trees, and followed behind in a small sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, I'll help you get into the sedan chair. ”

"No, I want to walk. ”

"Did he say something that upset you? ”

"No, no, that's a good point, and some things are quite right. ”

"Then Your Majesty, do you think this person is available?"

Emperor Ming was silent and did not speak.

"Or drive him out of Chang'an and go back to where he came. ”

"Usable, not only to use, but also to use it greatly, ruthlessly. ”

......

Weiyang Palace, the imperial study.

A sneaky little eunuch poked his head inside, and the other eunuchs saw it and pretended not to see it.

"Since you're here, why don't you come in and sneak around outside?" Emperor Ming snorted.

The little eunuch walked into the study at this time, and saw a few open notes in front of Emperor Ming's case, but he didn't look at it at this time, but looked at an iron gun on the case.

Emperor Ming glanced at her, and said slightly angrily: "Why are you dressed like this again, what do you say like when you spread it?"

"What's wrong with me dressing like this, I didn't learn it from my father. ”
