"Speak of the devil!"
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled after hearing the report.
It was as if everything was under his control.
However, the generals below the stage were still confused.
Where did Xu Xiao come from? What ability did he have to meet his great-grandson in person?
One had to know that many of them had been able to climb to their current positions through numerous selections. Among them, there were many soldiers who had established military industries.
However, this group of people was still willing to submit to Zhu Xiong Ying and follow his lead.
It could be seen how high Zhu Xiong Ying's prestige in the army was.
"Do you have any doubts?"
Zhu Xiongying didn't comment on the crowd's reaction.
A general was not convinced. He gritted his teeth and was the first to step forward. He cupped his hands and said,
"Reporting to Grand Sun, I am not convinced.”
"Oh? Tell me." Zhu Xiongying laughed instead of getting angry.
Seeing this, the general no longer hesitated and said,"
"I don't know who this Xu Xiao is to be able to gain the favor of Grand Sun.”
"But even if he has the trust of his grandson, he can't just go from a nobody to a commander of a battalion, right?”
"Taisun once set a military rule that if a soldier of our border camp wants to be promoted, they can only do so through the military or through an election.”
"Xu Xiao, what virtue and ability does he have?”
Zhu Xiongying had yet to speak.
The leading general's expression immediately changed, and he berated coldly,
" How dare you question Grand Sun in front of everyone? Chen Datong, do you want to die? Quickly apologize to Grand Sun!"”
" I'm not guilty, so how can I ask for forgiveness?!"
Chen Datong was immediately unconvinced. He took off the general's helmet and said,""Even if my great-grandson dismisses me and beheads me, I still won't accept it!!”
"At most, I'll come back for the election eighteen years later and join the great-grandson!”
After saying that, Chen Datong took off his sword and handed it to Zhu Xiongying with both hands.
It meant that if you want to kill or cut me up, you can do whatever you want. I won't even frown.
However…
Although he wanted to die, his comrades who had lived side by side with him did not want him to die.
"Grand Sun, Chen Datong is loyal to Grand Sun, and the sun and moon can prove it. Today, he may have offended Grand Sun rashly. Grand Sun, please be lenient!”
"I implore Taisun to be lenient!"
After the leader finished speaking, he immediately knelt down. The other generals also knelt down when they saw this.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying tapped his fingers on the table a few times.
"Are you trying to rebel?"
"I don't dare!"
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this and hurriedly replied.
"You definitely wouldn't dare to rebel.”
Zhu Xiongying laughed, but the crowd below the stage panicked.
"It's just that General Chen really offended Grand Sun in a moment of anger. We can't bear to die for this, so we implore Grand Sun to be lenient and let General Chen atone for his crimes and die on the battlefield.”
The leading general hurriedly explained, afraid that Zhu Xiong Ying would misunderstand.
Zhu Xiongying snorted coldly and walked to Chen Datong's side to take his sword.
Whoosh!
The sword was unsheathed and aimed straight at Chen Datong's head.
Everyone's expression changed drastically when they saw this. Only Chen Datong was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Xu Xiao, I was the one who decided it.”
"I know, but I'm not convinced!”Chen Datong replied.
"You won't accept it even if you die?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked.
"I won't accept it even if I die!" Chen Datong replied.
"Alright."
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and put away his sword. He looked at the crowd and said,
"I know that all of you are interested in my decision this time. If I act arbitrarily, even if all of you don't say anything, Xu Xiao might not be able to convince everyone in the future.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xiong Ying returned the sword to Chen Datong and walked out of the commander's tent.
The generals hurriedly followed.
So he set up a border outside the camp, with seven men and seven horses standing outside the camp.
Seeing Zhu Xiong Ying walk out, the seven of them hurriedly dismounted. The leader said,
"I, Xu Xiao, have been ordered by King Jing to complete the training of the three hundred thousand Northern Liang Iron Cavalry.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind Zhu Xiongying were stunned.
Three hundred thousand cavalrymen trained?
Was this arranged by the Grand Sun?
At this moment, the most shocked person was none other than Chen Datong.
The reason why Xu Xiao said this was because of Zhu Xiong Ying's assumption when he received the three hundred thousand cavalry.
This was also the reason why Xu Xiao recognized Zhu Xiong Ying at a glance.
The reason why there were seven of them was that other than Xu Xiao, the other six were Xu Xiao's foster sons, the elite troops of the army.
Similarly, there were also the Heavenly Stems Deathsworn personally nurtured by Xu Xiao.
At this moment, the generals were all shocked.
But they believed that this person dared to boast in front of Tai Sun, so he must have some confidence.
After all, in their opinion, no one in this world would dare to deceive the current imperial grandson!
=====================================================================================
P.S. I won't dare to write 'Dream of the Red Chamber' in the future. It's difficult to get two chapters in for no reason!!
Seeing that I'm so rare, why don't you give me some flowers and monthly votes to calm me down…
