The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4619 Qin Rui Arrives

Qin Rui seemed a little nonchalant when he heard this, and said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty."

This action immediately made Xiao Jian, who was standing by, furious. He witnessed the scene with his own eyes. Because of Qin Rui's wrong decision, the soldiers of Daxia were killed.

Now Qin Rui was feeling wronged, but those soldiers didn't even have the chance to feel wronged before they were completely annihilated and turned into ghosts.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xiao Jian suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Qin Rui's nose and yelled, "Do you think you are still a prince now? Do you know that being sent to the frontier is the best punishment? Do you want to be beheaded? If it weren't for the Queen and your status as the Crown Prince, do you really think you can leave the ancient tree camp alive?"

"You were sent to the frontier, and now you are the commander, leading a group of soldiers to fight everywhere and accumulate merits. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you know how many people envy your current status, not to mention being a prince!"

Although Xiao Jian's words were too impulsive and somewhat inappropriate to the situation, every word was true, which made Qin Yun's statement that the emperor and the common people were guilty of the same crime a joke.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Jian realized that something was wrong and hurriedly bowed to try to confess his guilt to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun waved his hand to signal him not to do so, then stood up and faced the generals and soldiers, saying with a little shame: "I am a bad father, and I violated the principle that the emperor and the common people are guilty of the same crime, so I reduced the punishment for Qin Rui. If he is mentioned again at this moment, I will listen to everyone present. How should I convict him?"

Qin Yun's words not only eased Xiao Jian's impulsive words, but also brought up the old matter again.

With Qin Yun by his side, even if Qin Rui had lost his status as a prince, he was still Qin Yun's son after all. How could he be beheaded? Even if he were to be chosen again, he would still be sent to the frontier.

After saying this, Qin Yun looked at Xiao Jian and said in a deep voice: "What you said is all right, but you forgot one thing, that is, the souls of those dead soldiers, their unwillingness, who should be responsible for it? Isn't it you, Qin Rui!"

Qin Yun suddenly glared at Qin Rui seriously, causing the latter to shudder with fear. It was obvious that his dandy appearance was just an act to cover up his indifference. He wanted to tell the world that he didn't care about his mere identity as a prince. But in fact, this gap almost tortured him to death.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qin Rui didn't know what to do for a moment. He finally took off his disguise and looked at Qin Yun awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm sorry to the soldiers stationed in the ancient trees. It was my wrong decision that led to this tragic situation."

Things have passed. As long as Qin Rui maintains a good attitude and climbs up from the grassroots level step by step, he can still win back the hearts of the people.

However, their performance today was in stark contrast to that of Emperor Qin, which made Qin Yun sigh at the fate. These two princes had changed their personalities countless times. Fortunately, Emperor Qin finally found his true self, but Qin Rui was a step slower.

Qin Yun waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, leaving only Xiao Jian and Qin Rui.

When their eyes met, Qin Yun spoke first: "Apologize!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Jian and Qin Rui spoke almost at the same time, with apologies on the tip of their tongues, but they were unable to say them out loud.

Seeing Xiao Jian's expression, Qin Yun was immediately furious: "What did you do wrong? Do you need to apologize? When did the soldiers I led choose to ignore right and wrong and only recognize their status and position because of their status in the palace?"

Faced with Qin Yun's series of questions, Xiao Jian realized that he was too nervous. Even if the person sitting in front of him was Crown Prince Qin Rui, so what? He would still not give him face if he did something wrong.

Qin Rui could see that the reason they were kept here was to allow them to reconcile with each other.

After figuring out the problem, Qin Rui quickly took the initiative to say, "I know I was wrong. My lack of familiarity with the war caused such a tragedy. If I were given another chance, I would never give the order rashly."

Xiao Jian is Qin Rui's uncle. If he was not extremely angry, he would naturally be reluctant to beat or scold him. Everything was forced by the situation. In addition, Qin Rui's attitude made him deserve a beating.

"Okay, let's be polite to each other. There's no need to act like enemies." Qin Yunyan said.

The two smiled at each other and soon put aside the barriers between them. After all, they had the same blood flowing in their bodies. Even if there were any disagreements, they could talk it out and nothing would happen.

Qin Yun looked at the two of them and nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "By the way, does Qin Rui plan to attack towards the east, expanding outward from the Sisha Sect until he reaches the edge of the Baisha Territory?"

"That's right, father." Qin Ruiyan said, "I have already thought of all the countermeasures for this invasion and arranged the troops, but there is only one thing, we don't have enough manpower." Hearing this, Qin Yun joked, "So soon, you want to ask me for military power again? Aren't those soldiers enough for you?"

Jokes are jokes. Qin Yun knew very well that the closer he got to the east, the more mountains would separate the two places. One place was famous for its poison, and the other was famous for its medical skills. Qin Yun had already thought of invading without Qin Rui's advice.

It's just right for Qin Rui to go and find out the situation first. If the value is enough, Qin Yun doesn't mind going there in person.

No one knows a son better than his father. Qin Yun knew very well that the reason Qin Rui hesitated was that he was thinking of Long Xiao. It just so happened that the defense of the imperial capital was sufficient now, and the impact of withdrawing a Qinglong Army would not be that great.

Seeing that Qin Rui was hesitant to speak, Qin Yun said helplessly: "Since we don't have enough manpower, I will reluctantly consider asking Long Xiao to go with you."

Hearing this, Qin Rui almost jumped up in excitement: "Is it true, father? General Long Xiao is still willing to follow me."

Before he finished speaking, Long Xiao slowly walked over from not far away. After looking around, he bowed to Qin Yun and sat directly between Xiao Jian and Qin Rui. "I heard that the prince is looking for me?"

Qin Rui cleared his throat and said with a little embarrassment: "General Long Xiao, I'm sorry for hurting you before, and I'm no longer the crown prince. If you are willing, how about we fight together in the eastern border? Just like we did before, we can work closely together."

Unlike the conflict between Emperor Qin and Old Feng, Qin Rui and Long Xiao have always gotten along well.

The progress of the two's battle was constantly accelerating, from weak strength to gradually becoming stronger. Long Xiao could be regarded as Qin Rui's half-master and gave him a lot of advice.

Long Xiao nodded and agreed without any hesitation: "No problem, Prince, you will always be the Prince to me!"

Seeing that both princes have reunited with their loved ones, Qin Yun's efforts have not been in vain. It would be too boring if the battle for the crown prince ended like this.

If the two princes want to truly take charge of the Great Xia Empire, their current judgment is far from enough.
