Chapter 159 The Emperor is a True Tiger
They haven't seen the emperor since the day he and the two big guys took the carriage.
When it was time to eat, the deputy general would bring the prepared meals to the carriage, and when it was time to sleep, the deputy general would set up the tent before the emperor came out of the carriage.
It seems that the bravery of the past two days was all done for them to see.
The two big guys hibernated directly in the cage and didn't eat for several days.
Some people suspected that there was nothing inside, so they went to check it out secretly at night. Before they even got close to the cage, they were scared back by the low growls inside.
On the morning of the third day of the expedition, Leng Qing quietly took Da Jin, Xiong Da and Leng Qi and headed for the border at full speed.
The two men and two beasts advanced at full speed and arrived outside Jichun City on the evening of the sixth day.
Leng Liu had his own way of delivering messages. When the two men and two beasts arrived, Leng Ba had already calculated the time and was waiting outside the city gate.
Because it was late at night and the city gate had been closed for a long time, Leng Ba used Ji Yechen's token to open the city gate, and the three people and two beasts entered Jichun City quietly.
He followed Leng Ba all the way from Jichun City to the commander-in-chief's tent.
The only people who knew that the emperor would be the first to go to the border were Leng Ba and the two General Ji.
In order to prevent others from knowing that the emperor had arrived at the border battlefield, General Ji Wuqi deliberately asked the guards to stay longer during today's shift change.
Leng Ba calculated the time extremely accurately. He led the two men and two beasts into the commander's tent just in time for the half-minute gap when the guards changed shifts.
This was the first time Ji Wuqi met the new king of Dongxia.
He has been stationed in the northern border these years and rarely returns to Beijing. The last time he returned to Beijing was three years ago.
Although it was his first time meeting the new king of Dongxia, he already had some good feelings towards the new emperor.
The person who could lead one man and two ferocious beasts on a thousand-mile journey from the capital to the border battlefield must be no ordinary person.
This requires not only courage, but also strong strength.
Even when he went back to the capital, he would have to bring at least seven or eight personal guards with him.
Many people were watching a general like him who commanded 100,000 soldiers.
Of course, one has to be extra careful when traveling, and the emperor is the ruler of a country, so there will be even more people watching him.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
The first time he saw the emperor, Ji Wuqi became more certain of his judgment.
Their new emperor of Dongxia was no ordinary person. The murderous look in his eyes made him, a general who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, feel a little scared.
"Get up and tell me about the current situation at the border."
Ji Wuqi, who was about to ask the emperor to go to rest, froze for a moment.
It seemed that he didn't expect the emperor to be so impatient.
Even if one rode at full speed, it would take ten days to get there, but the emperor arrived in just six days. He must have been exhausted both physically and mentally.
But since the emperor had spoken, he naturally told him everything he knew.
After telling Leng Qingyi about the recent battles, he mentioned the recent rumors on the border.
"Are you saying that the news that I will not return to the capital until I destroy Beidong has spread to Beidong and the Xiongnu tribes?"
"Yes, in the last two battles, they would ask you before the battle if you had come to the border."
In fact, what he said was dozens of times more unpleasant, but he was not sure whether the emperor was in a bad mood, so he just repeated it verbatim.
I'm afraid this person is someone who can't stand hearing unpleasant things, and if I hear what he says, I'll accuse him of disrespect.
He didn't expect that despite his caution, his nephew would drag his feet and exaggerated the details of how the people of Beidong insulted the emperor.
He glanced at the emperor with some concern, and seeing his gloomy face, his heart tightened and he was about to kneel down and apologize.
But he didn't expect that Leng Qingyi would laugh out of anger the next moment.
"If you think of me this much, I'll give them a surprise."
Ji Yechen was not at all like his fifth uncle who was cautious. He stared at the emperor with sparkling eyes, waiting for his next words.
"Who is the general leading Beidong's troops this time and what does he look like?"
Ji Yechen's eyes lit up and he fumbled to find the portrait of the commander-in-chief who was leading the troops this time.
"Your Majesty, these two are the generals leading the troops of Beidong this time, the Hulun brothers. This one is the chief general Hulun Nahan, and this one is the deputy general Hulun Nagong."
"And these two, the man is Beidong's third prince Tuoba Guantu, and the woman is Tuoba Lianna."
"They are both generals who led troops to fight against us."
Leng Qing took a few glances to memorize the appearance of the four people, then moved aside to let Leng Qi remember their appearance.
"Where is the Northern Winter Army stationed now?"
"They are stationed at a lake ten miles to the north."
"Got it, wait for my good news."
"Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
Ji Wuqi saw that the emperor was about to leave as soon as he arrived, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"By the way, General Ji, could you please find a place for my two little pets to stay and feed them."
"Okay, Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to give Beidong a surprise."
"Your Majesty, the Beidong and Xiongnu tribes have an army of over 100,000. Please don't be impulsive."
"Oh, Uncle Wu, don't worry. The emperor has plenty of strength and means. Anyone from Beidong will die if they encounter him."
"Where do I live?"
"You have come to the military camp in secret, so it is not appropriate to let others know. I will inconvenience you by having you stay in my main tent for the next two days. My bed and bedding are all new."
"I understand. I have something to do outside. You can come back tomorrow at noon to bring me lunch."
"Emperor...Emperor..."
Before Ji Wuqi could finish his remaining words, the emperor and the guards around him had disappeared.
Only the uncle and nephew and the two beasts were left in the tent, staring at each other.
"Ah, Your Majesty's Qinggong is really good. If my Qinggong is also so good, Your Majesty might take me with him."
Ji Wuqi's heart was pounding, and he had no intention of paying attention to the sadness of his mentally ill nephew.
Ji Yechen and the two beasts watched Ji Wuqi walking back and forth in the tent, sometimes frustrated, sometimes beating his chest and stamping his feet, watching with great interest.
Ji Wuqi didn't stop until Dajin's stomach growled.
He looked at the two beasts that the emperor had placed here with complicated eyes.
"Chen'er, you said they can't eat us uncle and nephew, right?"
"Although I've been a general for over a decade, I've never fought a guy this big before. I'm not sure what to do."
Ji Yechen rolled his eyes at his fifth uncle and approached Dajin with a flattering smile on his face.
"Master Tiger, I'll get you whatever you want to eat."
"pork?"
Da Jin shook his head.
"chicken?"
Dajin nodded.
"How can I be full just by eating chicken? How about some fish?"
Dajin nodded again.
"What about Master Bear? Can he be like Master Tiger?"
Big Bear nodded in the same human way.
Ji Wuqi widened his eyes when he saw such a magical scene.
Only when the two of them had their midnight snack did he start to worry about the emperor who had left again.
"Chen'er, don't you think the emperor would be so ruthless as to sneak into the enemy camp and kill the enemy commander?"
"Fifth Uncle, don't try to guess what the Emperor is thinking. We should just obey his orders."
