When Lin Mu said this, some of the generals obviously did not agree with his point of view, and stood up.
"Reporting to the Prince Chen, this general feels that although what Young General Lin said is reasonable, the error in his words is too great. The Mo Bei was vast, and its borders were naturally too long. In the battle five years ago, Wu Huan went all out, but the Mo Bei still drove him out of the Heavenly Sacred Border. "
"Heh." Xuanyuan Chen laughed coldly in disdain, and said with a loud voice: "Even though you chased Wu Huan out of the Heavenly Saint Realm, did you not think about it? Just how many troops did the Heavenly Saints sacrifice! Sending out of the Heavenly Saint Realm. Those two words were very nimble. If you hadn't underestimated your enemy that day, you wouldn't have allowed Wu Huan to enter the Heavenly Saint Realm and damage two cities. "
It was fine if he did not mention that battle five years ago, but when he did, Xuanyuan Chen felt a wave of anger surging up from within his heart. As he looked at these soldiers, he couldn't help but admit that although they had a patriotic heart, they were also very sluggish.
For so many years, Wu Huan and the Mo Bei had been in a state of turmoil. Battle after battle, big and small, constantly occurred and these people did not have any sense of danger.
He kept having the feeling that Wu Huan was powerless to match up with the Heavenly Sage. It was because of this carelessness and carelessness that Wu Huan managed to hide from everyone's eyes and ears and attack from behind, catching them completely off guard.
All the soldiers felt extremely ashamed because of Xuanyuan Chen's words.
Especially the general who had jumped out just now to retort at Lin Mu, his face was completely red, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept Xuanyuan Chen's gaze.
"Why? Is This King wrong? Or did General Zhang think that This King was exaggerating? " Xuanyuan Chen squinted his eyes and asked softly, but his gentle tone revealed that he was not pleased.
The middle-aged man who was called General Zhang had a red face and was sweating profusely.
He stammered, "Th …" Last General... "I didn't mean it that way."
Xuanyuan Chen's sharp gaze finally moved away from General Zhang's face, and he held the tea that Xie Qingrong had brewed for him. He took a shallow sip and said: "If a sword gets rusty, then this king will grind it back into shape, or choose a new and sharper sword. What do the generals think? How will you choose? "
Xie Qingrong squinted her eyes, as she understood the meaning behind Xuanyuan Chen's words.
All these years, Wu Huan had never committed another crime and these generals were lax, as if their swords had rusted. If she had to choose, she would get both of them. On one hand, she would nurture a new person, and on the other hand, she would force the old one to do the same again.
The combination of power and grace had a better effect.
All the generals looked at each other, as they did not know how to answer Xuanyuan Chen's questions. They were not stupid, and were naturally able to understand the hidden meaning behind Xuanyuan Chen's words.
After a long while, no one stepped forward to answer Xuanyuan Chen's question. Xuanyuan Chen was not angry, and only placed the teacup in his hand to the side as he laughed blandly: "This king feels that regardless of whether I choose a new and sharper sword, or choose to polish the rusted sword again, it's all a waste of time. This king does not waste any time."
"Wu Huan's army of five hundred thousand has already reached the limit. This king will only give you three days of time to consider carefully. If you are still unable to give this king a satisfactory answer three days later, then don't blame this king for not reminding everyone."
Finished, he walked out of the tent, and Xie Qingrong followed along obediently.
The cold winter in Mo Bei had not passed, cold wind blew, and the breath that came out turned into a white mist.
"A Rong, do you think what I said earlier was a bit too much?" Xuanyuan Chen asked softly, but did not wait for Xie Qingrong to answer her question, and continued, "Actually, I also understand, that when the generals come here full of passion and patriotism, they would protect the family, defend the Heavenly Saint, and as the royal family, they should be thanked."
"Not to mention, we all know why they have been guarding this bitter and cold place for so many years. However, the words he had spoken were too serious, and he was afraid that it would hurt his officers' hearts. But if I also slack off against them, when Wu Huan truly attacks us, will we still be able to retaliate? "
Xie Qingrong crooked his little finger, making a very gentle gesture. If it was the past she had always disdained, then now, facing the weak Xuanyuan Chen, she was willing to use even more patience to treat him.
"In this world, there are too few people who can persevere. There are too few things that can be endured. But there were always stories of broken ropes and broken rocks. Chen, you have to be confident in them. They are not only Sky Saint's soldiers, they are also a member of the Sky Saint. "
"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen bent his finger, hooked it around Xie Qingrong's pinky, and with the other hand, he pulled Xie Qingrong into his embrace. The woman's sweet smell wafted into his nose, and his heart seemed to be beating slowly within his chest.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"A Rong, will you accompany me forever?" Xuanyuan Chen embraced Xie Qingrong's slender waist tightly and whispered into her ear. Although he knew that Xie Qingrong would definitely give him a definite answer, he still wanted to personally hear Xie Qingrong's answer.
Xie Qingrong felt her ears go numb, and could not help but blush a little. She answered softly: "I've been here all along."
When Lin Mu came out from his tent and saw such a harmonious and loving scene, traces of a smile surfaced in his eyes.
However, he still coughed to break the sweet and warm atmosphere between the two of them.
Xuanyuan Chen released his hand that was holding onto Xie Qingrong's waist, but the pinky on the other hand still held onto Xie Qingrong's pinky without releasing it, and asked indifferently: "What's wrong?"
Lin Mu's face showed some hesitation, but he still voiced out his own thought: "There was always Wu Huan's accomplice in the army camp of Mo Bei, so I guess that his position should at least be that of a deputy general. His Highness's words just now seemed to be a warning, but his true purpose was to reveal his intentions. "But …"
He paused for a moment, looked at Xuanyuan Chen's expression, and was not dissatisfied, he quietly heaved a sigh of relief and continued: "It's just that the words Your Highness said earlier were a bit inappropriate. "Since it's an eventful time now, and the Prince's harsh words may easily arouse the displeasure of the generals, I'm afraid that the Prince will have a grudge with the generals."
Xuanyuan Chen laughed softly, but Lin Mu could feel a slight coldness within his laughter.
"Lin Mu, you have never marched to war before, so I can understand why you don't know what the military is thinking. After a few more days, you will understand the meaning of what This King has said today. "
Lin Mu's methods were still too young. In the army, if he wanted to stand out and stand out, he would only be able to see what was happening before his eyes, which was far from enough.
Lin Mu nodded as though he understood something. Although he did not understand many of Xuanyuan Chen's reasoning, he did not question him further.
