Chapter 058
: The General of the National Protection
Of course Xiao Chaogui won’t want to!
After all, he only has a daughter like Xiao Li by his side.
"Emperor." At this time, the general had slowly knelt down in front of the emperor: "The old minister knows that in the emperor's heart, he has always valued the old minister very much. And the old minister has always been loyal to the emperor over the years."
After hearing this, the emperor could not help but nodded at him.
The general continued: "If you talk about it, the old minister has been guarding the border for decades, which can be considered as confronting the Jing Kingdom army for half a lifetime. In those years, the power of Jing and the Jing Kingdom increased and grew, and they fought many battles, both of them, and they were all considered to have fought many battles. It was in these few years that the borders between the two countries gradually became peaceful."
After hearing this, the emperor could not help but nodded in agreement: "Xiao Aiqing's words are true. Over the years, I have seen and kept all the contributions I have made to my country of Ling in my eyes."
When the general heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Since that's the case, I believe the emperor should understand the old minister's mood at this time."
"In that big confrontation between us and Jingguo ten years ago, the old minister once lost three children. But over the years, whenever he thought about this, the old minister never regretted it. Because the old minister knew in his heart that they were born as men and should have served the country. Even if they all died in the battle in the year of heroism, that would be their lifelong honor!"
After hearing the general's words, the emperor's face couldn't help but feel sad: "Xiao Qing family is right. Over the years, whenever I think about this, I feel that I have indeed owe you a lot in my life. And Xiao's love for me and my Daling Kingdom is also called me and I will never forget it!"
After hearing what the emperor said, the general quickly saluted again: "No, the old minister said this, not because he wanted to seek credit from the emperor. The old minister just wanted to tell the emperor--though the old minister had never regretted losing three sons, the old minister could not see his only daughter, and he would lead the army to fight against the battlefield like her father and brother."
"So that's it..." After hearing the general's words, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.
Poor parents in the world! What's more, Xiao Li, she is just a girl in her 28th year of age. Just imagine how could Xiao Chaogui be willing to let her lead her army out of seclusion and fight a life-and-death battle with the enemy?
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but speak to Xiao Li: "I feel sorry for parents in the world! Xiao Li, have you ever understood the meaning of the general?"
That’s right, I feel sorry for parents in the world!
What's more, how can she not feel the family affection she finally gained like Xiao Li? Similarly, how can she not be moved deeply in her heart!
However, it is precisely because of this that she was inspired to go on the battlefield with her father. Not to mention that she was full of confidence in her heart, even if she only thought about her father's body, she must firmly take on this errand.
"Your Majesty, please listen to what my daughter said." Xiao Li said, and also knelt down beside her father.
"Since ancient times, father and son soldier have been in battle, but now I have no second son by my father. Apart from my elder brother Xiao Junke, who is still guarding the border, I am afraid that the only one in the court can lead the army to fight is the only one who can lead the army to fight."
Xiao Li said it right. Although there are several military generals in Ling Kingdom, those who are truly capable of taking responsibility are also guarding their own side. And the only one who guards the border of the northern country for many years is the only general's lineage.
As for the capital, although there are many civil and military officials, they also perform their own duties. How could they be mobilized to leave the capital at will?
Xiao Li continued, "But now, my father is already old and has more than a dozen old diseases on his body. If this disease occurs, not to mention killing the enemy in battle, even if he sits there and does not move, it will make people feel pain in the bone."
When Xiao Li said this, she suddenly looked up at the Emperor Ding and said affectionately: "Master, how could Xiao Li be a child, so how could she watch her father, dragging her old and sick body, and leading her army to the front line again to kill the enemy?"
"Ali!" The general heard that Xiao Li was still insisting, and his face couldn't help but start to show a hint of anger: "When did you become so disobedient?"
But Xiao Li suddenly turned her head, looked deep in the general's eyes, and said to him: "Dad, I believe you also know that Li'er has been the most inseparable from her parents over the years. But now, Li'er is probably the only one who can contribute to her by her side."
"Shut up!" The general finally yelled in a low voice: "Even if this is the case, father will not allow you, a daughter, to show up in public, and you will not allow you to appear on the battlefield!"
"But Dad, even though Li'er is a daughter, she still has a skill. At such a great enemy, why should you keep your daughter's identity?"
"I don't care. I will never agree to you anyway!" A hint of anger appeared on the general's face: "If you want to lead your army to fight, unless the sun strikes the west!"
"Dad!" Seeing this, Xiao Li was speechless for a moment.
"Report—"
Just as everyone was in a stalemate, a guard suddenly ran out of the schoolyard: "Report to the Emperor, Mrs. Xiao from the General's Mansion, I sent an urgent report to the border again!"
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but speak quickly: "Hurry and invite me!"
The general and Xiao Li couldn't help but stop arguing at the same time, and they all looked forward.
Soon, Mrs. Xiao was already here accompanied by a group of guards: "Report to the emperor, the northern country has once again reported urgently. Seeing that the military situation is urgent, my wife specially brought people to the palace to meet the saint."
Mrs. Xiao said, and had already ordered someone to report the war.
After seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but frown tightly: "An urgent report from the North Country again, the commander of the Mirror Kingdom, Kadar, had sent troops last night to attack the first company of my border!"
"What?" The general was shocked after hearing this: "This is really mentioned above. This is the commander of the Mirror Kingdom this time is Kadal?"
The emperor nodded at the general: "I have also heard that although the prince of the Jing Kingdom, Kadar, is still young, has countless achievements in his life, and can be said to be the ever-winning general of the Jing Kingdom."
"The emperor is right. The old minister really didn't expect that the commander sent by Jingguo this time would be him."
When the general said this, he couldn't help but bow his head again: "Please send an order quickly and ask the old minister to lead his army quickly, leave the capital and go to the border."
"Your Majesty, I don't care. As the saying goes, you have no joke. Anyway, you have issued an edict just now, saying that you have already agreed that the ministers and daughters do have the ability to command the army. Therefore, the ministers and daughters also ask the emperor to think twice!
"Love Xiao!" The emperor looked at the general and Xiao Li again, and a embarrassed expression appeared on his face.
But at this moment, Xiao Li suddenly stood up from the emperor, and then she suddenly turned around and spoke to the generals behind her: "Dear generals, if Xiao Li can really be appointed as the commander today, may I ask all the generals, are there anyone willing to help Xiao Li with his arms?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Laowu walked up to the front of the people and shouted at Xiao Li: "We have already said that as long as Miss Xiao leads her army to fight, we must be counted as one of us!"
"It's also the last one!" This time it was Lu Sen.
"And Bai Qiliang!"
"There is also the last general!"
"The general is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, Miss Xiao is sincere and filial, and this love and righteousness are moving. The last generals are willing to follow Miss Xiao and march northward to fight against the Jingjun, defend their homeland, and give me a peaceful life for the people!"
The general never expected that it would be what he is now.
Looking at the cheerful expressions of the generals on the campus, the emperor was finally infected by everyone's emotions.
The emperor suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the schoolyard suddenly became silent: "Xiao Li listened to the order--" the emperor said.
Xiao Li knelt solemnly: "My daughter Xiao Li, please wait for the imperial edict."
"The war is imminent. I have decided to grant Xiaoli the title of the general of the country protection and specially ordered him to lead a 100,000 army to rush to the border of the northern country to resist the Jing army. I'm here!"
Xiao Li kowtowed and shouted, "I will accept the order!" After that, she got up from the ground with a smile on her face.
"Xiao Li." Looking at Xiao Li with a smile on her face, the emperor couldn't help but speak again: "Promise me, this time, you will return triumphantly no matter what. I and the general will wait for you to come back together."
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Prince, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to the holy grace!"
After hearing this, the emperor nodded to her. Suddenly, the emperor seemed to think of something again, and then said, "I still remember that you mentioned that you want me to agree to you with a wish. What is it? You might as well propose it first."
When Xiao Li heard this, her smile began to slowly calm down.
But for a while, she smiled and said to the emperor: "The emperor only needs to promise me about this matter. As for what kind of wish it will be, I still hope to wait until the empress returns in the future and then tell the emperor."
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, the emperor could only smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll just promise you!"
Afterwards, the emperor turned around and looked at the general: "Aiqing Xiao, you will not be jealous of me at this time. You are too cruel, right?"
"I don't dare!" Now, what else can the general say?
But how could Xiao Li not take into account her father's feelings? So she knelt down in front of the general: "Dad, just believe Li'er this time. Li'er promises you that no matter what, Li'er will definitely return to you safely."
The general looked at her and could only sigh helplessly, then reached out to help her gently: "It's over, and nothing my father said is useless. You might as well get up quickly, go over to your mother's place, and say a few words with her!"
After accompanying her parents back home, Mrs. Xiao already knew the truth about the matter. In a hurry, tears fell down. Xiao Li swears and persuades her for a long time before her mother stops crying.
In the end, Xiao Li followed his wife's instructions and decided to bring Qin Jian to serve her. Qin Jian was naturally happy after hearing this.
After arranging everything, Xiao Li decided to have a good sleep first and then prepare for the army to head north tomorrow.
No words all night.
The next day, Xiao Li got up early. Accompanied by Zhang Laowu, Lu Sen and others, he went to the military camp to inspect. After confirming the food and grass, he decided to set off north as soon as possible.
That day, Xiao Li was still wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, wearing a snow-white battle robe, and a snow-colored horse under her crotch, looking very heroic and pretty.
I saw her standing in front of the formation, stretching out her hand and waved it gently, and shouting in her mouth: "Go away--"
