Chapter XXVI
After lunch, Chen Lin did not see Xuanyuan Che again. Even during dinner, he did not appear. Naturally, she could only look forward to seeing him this much.
The next morning, Chen Lin sat in her room and waited for Xuanyuan Che's arrival.
"It seems that Wan 'er has already thought of what to do?”Xuanyuan Che was still smiling like a fox.
Chen Lin curled her lips. From the beginning to the end, he could maintain his demeanor. This was very good!
"That's right! So ChenQie is waiting for the emperor's arrival!”
" You've agreed to help me?" Xuanyuan Che asked confidently.
"Yes, sir!" Chen Lin answered so confidently.
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Che seemed a little surprised. After all, she had such a big reaction yesterday. "Why?"
"Ha! Isn't the emperor asking too much? Whether I agree or not, won't the result be the same?”
"Indeed, this matter shouldn't be decided by you. What I care about is the identity of Singapore's princess, not you!”Xuanyuan Che stared at Chen Lin with a burning gaze.
"Yes, I am!" Chen Lin's tone suddenly changed. You know it too! I have the ability to act this scene to the best of my ability!”
Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows and stared at her." What do you mean?”
"Emperor, I want to make a deal with you!”Chen Lin stood up and confronted Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che looked at those stubborn eyes and narrowed his eyes." Speak! Maybe I can consider it!"
"If I'm still alive after this, then I want to leave!"Take Xiao Die and Ying 'er and leave!" Chen Lin's gaze did not dodge at all, ignoring the surprise in Xuanyuan Che's eyes.
"Impossible!" Xuanyuan Che suddenly grabbed Chen Lin's arm, his eyes about to burn.
Chen Lin didn't struggle and just looked up into Xuanyuan Che's angry eyes. Ha! Did he still think that he had the right to be angry at her? What a joke!
"Your Majesty! I told you! This scene! No one can act better than me!" He brushed away the iron palm on his arm.
"Just like you said, you only want the identity of Singapore's princess, but you have to leave before the war, right?”Chen Lin smiled brightly.
Xuanyuan Che frowned." You're really smart.”
" Because I'm certain that someone like you won't trust others easily…and won't put your life in the hands of others…" Chen Lin's back was facing Xuanyuan Che, her eyes dim and dull. "I can stabilize the morale of the army while you're away. If you come back late, the Snow Dragon Kingdom will be yours. And I, die!"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll deliberately delay my return?”
"I'm scared!"
"Then why did you dare to make this bet?”Xuanyuan Che was curious.
" Because…" Chen Lin tiptoed and whispered into Xuanyuan Che's ear," I'm more afraid of being with you."”
Xuanyuan Che was stunned. She was even more afraid of being with him? A black storm raged in his eyes.
"What if Zhen doesn't agree?" Xuanyuan Che's tone was low.
"Haha." Chen Lin smiled coquettishly as she looked at the purple eyes. "If you don't agree, then let's fight to the death!”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you now?”Xuanyuan Che was furious. She actually dared to threaten him!？
"Haha! The emperor can try!" Chen Lin's face suddenly darkened."I only hope that the emperor will remember one thing. The reasonable are afraid of the shameless, and the shameless are afraid of the reckless! Right now, ChenQie is considered as someone who doesn't care about her life!”
She didn't want to threaten anyone. She just wanted to live a good life. However, no one would even give her a chance to live a good life. I agree to your conditions. But you better be alive!" Xuanyuan Che didn't look at Chen Lin anymore and turned to leave.
Chen Lin smiled again.
Back then, Xuanyuan Che did not mobilize his troops near the north city to be on the safe side. Hence, he needed to leave now. With his personality, how could he let someone else go? He thought that he could fool Ouyang Wan with a random excuse, but he did not know that Ouyang Wan was Chen Lin now. Chen Lin walked to the window calmly. Recently, she liked the feeling of standing there. The cold wind was bone-piercing, but she felt that this was the only way she could find her place. She belonged to the cold wind, and that kind of cold gave her the feeling of being alive.
It seemed that she had won half of the bet. His lowered eyes were pitch-black, and there were specks of light flickering in them.
He was supposed to leave, but the plan had changed. The only thing that didn't change was that no matter what, he would gamble with his life!
The days passed quickly, so fast that Chen Lin felt that it had passed in the blink of an eye. From the moment Chen Lin and Xuanyuan Che laid their cards on the table until Xuanyuan Che left, she had never seen him again. Perhaps he was really busy, or perhaps the two of them didn't want to see each other.”Lian 'er hesitated. In the end, she could not help but look at Chen Lin, who was reading leisurely.
"Yes." Chen Lin lay on the recliner. She had been a little sleepy recently and did not know what was going on.
"Empress..."
"Has he left?" Because of what happened before, she and Lian 'er didn't want to talk much. It wasn't that they were stingy, but they couldn't forgive her. It was said that one would only know how to cherish it after losing it, but it was even more difficult to accept the loss after not knowing how to cherish it. Not only to Lian 'er, but to everyone else.
"Yes." Seeing that Chen Lin did not want to pay attention to her, she lowered her head.
"Oh." Chen Lin acted as if it had nothing to do with her, but…it really had nothing to do with her.
"Alright, let's go to the school field.”Chen Lin put down the book in her hand.
Since Xuanyuan Che had already left, she had to fulfill her promise and help him stabilize the morale of the army. This way, she could live longer, right?
The city lord could also be considered a general who guarded the city. Chen Lin arrived at the drill ground and looked at the training ground. The grand aura was so shocking to a person from the 21st century. However, once Chen Lin thought of Xuanyuan Che's plan. No matter how hard one's heart was, it was inevitable that they would be moved.
"City Lord, tell everyone to stop. I have something to say." Chen Lin said seriously.
Although he was puzzled, the City Lord still asked everyone to stop." The Empress has something to say. Everyone, stop!”
Chen Lin smiled gratefully at the City Lord. It seemed that he was indeed very prestigious. However, with one sentence, there was silence below.
Chen Lin stepped onto the platform step by step. Every step she took felt guilty.
"Everyone! I came here today to tell you a piece of news!”Chen Lin folded her hands on her lower abdomen.”Facing so many people, Chen Lin found it difficult to speak, but her aura did not decrease at all.
As expected, the moment these words were said, everyone boiled over. Even the usually cold City Lord was a little stunned.
"Empress? You can't say that casually." The City Lord leaned forward, frowning as if he was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, City Lord. I'm telling the truth."
"Empress, you are…" Lian 'er, who was at the side, could not understand what Chen Lin was doing. Didn't the emperor have to keep it a secret when he left? Why did the Empress…"Alright!" Everyone down there, be quiet!" Chen Lin did not want to explain further. After all, explaining was a waste of time, right? Other than practical actions, how many people would believe her wholeheartedly?
"I'll only say it once!" Chen Lin frowned with a serious expression. "There is no need for everyone to panic when the emperor leaves now! The Emperor is a wise ruler! He would definitely not leave everyone behind, but everyone knew the current situation. The Snow Dragon Kingdom was eyeing the border of the Chen Kingdom, and the bandits were planning to rebel! If they didn't have military strength! The current North City would undoubtedly fall! Thus, after discussing with the emperor, bengong has decided that I will temporarily stay behind to take charge of the situation! The emperor is going to mobilize the troops!"
After saying this, Chen Lin felt her throat go hoarse.
However, the effect was not satisfactory. Although everyone's morale was boosted after hearing the news that the north city would fall if there were no reinforcements. However, Chen Lin was a woman after all. In ancient times, it was inevitable that the soldiers would not accept the fact that an entire army had to listen to a woman.
Chen Lin was a smart person, so she naturally saw the dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Everyone! I'm standing here today! I'm not here to discuss with everyone! The enemy was right in front of them! I'm just here to tell you! From this moment until the emperor returns! I am your center! Your master! You must not have any dissatisfaction or doubts!" Chen Lin glared angrily. If she did not establish her authority now, it would probably be difficult in the future.
"But the Empress is a woman after all. You want us, a group of men, to obey you! We're still not convinced!" When a bolder captain spoke, a wave of unconvinced voices rose one after another.
"That's right!"
" Empress is a weak woman after all…"
"I need a woman to command…"
Chen Lin took a deep breath and frowned. "The one who spoke first just now! Stand out!"
Even though his voice was hoarse, that irresistible aura still shocked everyone.
The person who had started the fight wasn't afraid.(If one ignored his trembling thighs...) He stood in an orderly line.
"I'm just telling the truth!"
"City Lord, please bring him up.”Chen Lin said to the city lord standing beside her.
"Yes." The City Lord frowned from beginning to end. He seemed to be surprised, but also seemed to admire him. He stood beside Chen Lin. Even he, who had been on the battlefield for many years, could not help but be shocked by his aura.
Chen Lin looked at the person who was brought up. He was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Perhaps he had stayed in the border area for a long time, so he looked a little old.
Chen Lin stared at a strange man from the high platform, but the people below did not show disdain like they did to others. On the contrary, they felt that the empress was very terrifying.
The person opposite Chen Lin also kept swallowing. Such a woman had a face that could outshine the world. Even if her face was gloomy, she was still breathtakingly beautiful. However, he did not dare to look directly at that beautiful face and those bright eyes.”Chen Lin stared at him for a while, but her thin lips asked an irrelevant question.
"I have a mother and a brother.”He only felt afraid when he stood beside Chen Lin, and her relaxed appearance made him feel even more scared.
"Alright then!" Chen Lin approached the person step by step. She suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of the city lord standing beside her and placed it on the captain's neck. Chen Lin stood in front of him and said softly,"Then your mother won't have to worry about no one sending her off!"”
The people below were in an uproar. The Empress…Chen Lin held her sword and felt the people below go from noisy to silent. He felt the person under the sword turn from arrogance to powerlessness.
In the end, she smiled." I said it! I'm not here to discuss with you! I hope the people below can see it clearly! Listen carefully! Think carefully! Military orders are like mountains!"
Chen Lin threw the sword in her hand to the city lord. The captain knelt down forcefully. He felt his entire body go weak.
"I don't want to be stained with blood yet! However, the death penalty could be avoided, but the crime could not be avoided. City Lord, I'll leave it to you!" He glanced at the person on the ground one last time. It seemed to be saying to him, but also to everyone," What happened today is just a warning! Since they were soldiers! They should listen to the generals! You don't care about who is leading you!”
With that, he left without looking back. "Vice Chief Han!" The City Lord's voice came from behind. I'll go get thirty military canes! You should thank the Empress!"
Chen Lin could feel countless gazes behind her, but the gaze she felt the most clearly was beside her. She knew that Lian 'er had been looking at her with a strange gaze from the beginning to the end.
"Lian 'er, do you think I'm doing the right thing?”After walking out of the soldiers 'vision, Chen Lin turned to look at Lian' er.
Lian 'er was stunned." Your Majesty, what you did was naturally right.”
"Is that so?" Chen Lin looked into the distance, but why did she feel that this was so cruel? She was just forcing them to die!
