In his life, Li Er had seen too many talented generals and proud sons of heaven. However, most of them lacked a kind of arrogance, which led to their future being ruined.
Lu Chen's performance just now was to his liking no matter how he looked at it. Li Er, who was eager to love talent, took a few steps forward and shouted.
"Little child, wait a moment. You have saved His Majesty's life, so Zhen will definitely reward you. Since you have no interest in money, then say a request. Zhen will definitely agree!”
Li Er was determined to be a good emperor. Even if the world betrayed him, he could not betray the world.
Especially since he couldn't let a little kid like Lu Chen down. That was why Li Er boasted.
However, when Lu Chen heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Lu Chen's face was filled with innocence and purity.
Before Li Er could speak, Chen Yaojin took the initiative to flatter him.
"What kind of words are you saying? His Majesty's words are like gold and jade, so they naturally count!”
Zhangsun Wuji chimed in,"That's right. If you have any requests, just say it!"”
On the other hand, Li Er, the king of posturing, had a very comfortable expression on his face.
Having said that, Li Er put on an imperial air and waved his hand slightly.
"Brat, I am the ruler of a country. The ruler is not joking.”
" You're right." Lu Chen pursed his lips." Your Majesty has already spoken for me when you were trapped."”
Lu Chen's words confused everyone.
Zhangsun Wuji was the first to react."Could it be that when His Majesty was trapped just now, he said something?”
He felt Zhangsun Wuji and the puzzled gazes of everyone.
Li Er seemed to have thought of something and instantly felt a little ashamed and regretful.
At this moment, Lu Chen didn't care so much. He took a step forward, cupped his fists, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, I want to be the general of the hussars!”
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
In the next second, the black-armored soldiers who had already let down their guard pointed their spears at Lu Chen.
With the combat strength of the Black Armor Army, they would immediately attack Lu Chen if he made any strange movements.
Cheng Yaojin shouted.
"Nonsense! The General of the Flying Cavalry is the leader of the army and the pillar of the country. How can a child like you touch him!”
Zhangsun Wuji added.
"That's right, you're spouting nonsense. Besides, when did His Majesty agree to make you the general of the escort cavalry?”
Zhangsun Wuji inadvertently saw Li Er's expression. He was extremely regretful and even a little ashamed.
In an instant, Zhangsun Wuji was speechless. He asked Li Er weakly with an incredulous expression.
"Your Majesty, could it be…"
He looked at Li Er again and spoke in a very difficult manner.
"Little child, that was when I was in danger. I didn't say anything in a panic. It can't be counted. Change it again, change it again…"
Li Shi Min's words indirectly admitted that he had promised Lu Chen that he would be the General of the Flying Cavalry.
In an instant, everyone was silent. After all, it was Li Er who said it.
They did not know what to do either. They could only hope that Lu Chen could see the situation clearly and change his request.
However, Lu Chen was completely indifferent.
"Your Majesty, you're not joking. You said it yourself!”
"An emperor won't break his promise to the people, right?”
Lu Chen's words were resounding and powerful, echoing throughout the Qinling Mountains. Everyone heard it clearly and had no way to refute it.
Zhangsun Wuji frowned slightly and said worriedly in his heart.
"How is this little boy an inexperienced child? He's completely an old fox who's scheming and shrewd!”
" Such a simple statement blocked all the rebuttals. If it weren't for his careful calculations, it wouldn't be so coincidental!”
Li Er felt extremely regretful." Aiya, why didn't I see that this is a little devil!"”
"Sigh, forget it, forget it…"
"I am determined to be a good emperor and never let the people down. I can't break my promise to such a little child!”
Thinking of this, Li Er's expression gradually relaxed and he felt a little relieved.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and the other old brothers who had followed Li Er to fight the world looked at Li Er with a calm expression.
In an instant, he had already guessed what Li Er was thinking.
Especially Cheng Yaojin, who could almost confirm Li Er's thoughts.
"It seems that His Majesty is clearly going to agree to Lu Chen's request!”
"But to let a ten-year-old child become the Great General of the Flying Cavalry of the Great Tang and command an entire region, isn't that the greatest joke in the world?”
As a general, no one knew better than Cheng Yaojin and the others the importance of the hussars general.
In the Tang Dynasty, the highest rank of generals was the Great General, followed by the Flying Cavalry General, and then the Cheji General…
This time, Lu Chen wanted the general of the hussars. The rank of this official position was similar to that of the general, but it was hereditary and could be passed down to future generations.
Moreover, from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was only one Flying Cavalry General, Huo Qubing!
