I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down
Chapter 86 War of words
Lin Chen didn't want to get entangled with the prince at this moment. Anyway, the road to Jiangbei was still very long, and there was no point in saying these things here.
I just want the prince to understand that Lin Chen is not someone who can be easily messed with.
They are all people working for the world, so what is the difference between them?
We are all subjects, but you are nobler than me.
So Lin Chen understood this principle, and of course he would not argue with the prince. However, at this moment, seeing the prince's army blocking the road ahead, he felt a little bitter in his heart.
It was actually normal for their army to stand in front of the princess's army, but Lin Chen felt that the army he led could better explore the way if it went in front.
To this day, the prince's army has been staying in the imperial city all year round, and the soldiers brought by Lin Chen all came from Tianmen Pass. The terrain of Tianmen Pass is rugged and the people who survive there are all tall and strong, and they look very strong.
And the prince's army looked extremely weak.
Although Lin Chen said this on purpose, he also knew that how could the prince's army be weak?
It was just an army that had never experienced any major battles, while this large group of soldiers under Lin Chen had all come through the bloody Tianmen Pass.
Despite this, the prince's people would not look down on Lin Chen. They always felt that Lin Chen was just a clown at this time, repeatedly talking about things that had already happened.
So what if they won the Tianmen Pass War? They still couldn't defeat the Dynasty anyway.
Lin Chen figured this out and quietly instructed the soldiers around him, "If the prince's soldiers clash with you, don't argue with them. Since they look down on us, we don't have to be nice to them. Just fight back directly."
Lin Chen's soldiers were still a little frightened after hearing this. They didn't expect that the prince's people were so difficult to get along with.
However, they still asked with some concern, "But General Lin Chen, aren't you afraid that they will attack you? And we have heard about what happened between you recently. After all, everyone in the capital is saying that the Crown Prince and Lin Chen are irreconcilable."
"Although it's just hearsay, it's probably true, General Lin Chen. Please don't blame yourself because of us. After all, I don't want you to be implicated."
Lin Chen was very moved when he heard these words. These soldiers were really thinking about him. Such small things showed that these soldiers respected him very much. They could stand on his side in such matters and did not cling to power or the prince, which proved their loyalty.
Regardless of the problem, Lin Chen didn't want the Crown Prince's men to steal the show. After all, everyone in the world knew that the plague in Jiangbei was solved by the Princess and the Crown Prince's men, not just the Crown Prince, even though his contributions were likely significant.
But what practical connection did following the Crown Prince have? Furthermore, the Crown Prince hadn't earned the Emperor's trust to this day and was simply taking advantage of the situation. Everyone knew all this, and of course, they wouldn't think of getting Lin Chen to curry favor with the Crown Prince. Even though Lin Chen's status was significantly lower than the Crown Prince's, that didn't mean their generals should submit to someone else.
Moreover, the whole world is under his control, and it is still unpredictable when he will become king.
Even though they said this, the prince's men looked down on Lin Chen. They were also whispering behind him, saying, "General Lin Chen relied on the princess's protection and the battle at Tianmen Pass to become famous and known to the world."
"But he's ultimately just a small retainer, practically useless. The military power he holds is simply a sum he's paid to recruit. Have you heard? The princess's soldiers receive monthly salaries and silver. If you don't pay them, they won't do their job."
"So these soldiers are also ruthless and will surely not be loyal. It seems that they are not a threat to our prince."
"What kind of threat can soldiers like these pose to our prince by following the princess? Absolutely not, right? We can easily defeat such weaklings one by one, and our strength is far superior to theirs."
"Do you know that Lin Chen is still looking for military tactics and martial arts for them to practice? They don't know anything. We are martial artists, so how can we compare with them?"
The prince's soldiers spoke this way, not afraid that the prince in front of them would hear it. The prince had this intention, which was to let the people around him humiliate Lin Chen and let him know that he was not so easy to mess with.
The soldiers following closely behind the prince were Lin Chen's soldiers. They were so angry when they heard these conversations.
However, Lin Chen had already told them not to pay attention to the prince's men, so they were very well-behaved and ignored the prince's soldiers at this moment. No matter what they said, Lin Chen's men kept moving forward as if they heard nothing. They knew everything about them, but just didn't want to bother with these villains.
Since this is the case, Lin Chen also knows that this is the attitude of the prince. On the other hand, the attitude of the prince's soldiers is exactly the same as that of the prince, arrogant and unkind. It seems that even if he becomes an official and meets the emperor in the future, it will not be of any use.
It's useless for him to not think about the people. He will just stay in his own world, which is really selfish.
Lin Chen just wanted the prince's men to stay away from them and stop hanging around. Lin Chen didn't want to get close to them, but the prince's soldiers kept blocking the way for Lin Chen's soldiers, and even stepped on each other's feet. Seeing this, Lin Chen finally couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the prince's men, "What do you mean? Don't you have eyes when you walk? If someone dies, the old emperor will say that you murdered my confidants on the road. What do you think the old emperor will think? And Your Highness, your soldiers are so ignorant of etiquette, it seems that you will never be trusted in the future."
"Don't you agree? People, do you think this prince is qualified for the position? Do you still want him to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"He bullies people like this. It seems that this time when he goes to Jiangbei, we will not cooperate with him. We will just leave him there and not tell him what happens, letting him get infected by the plague."
"What does it have to do with us? Yes, we don't care about him." The people shouted in unison, expressing their dissatisfaction with the prince. However, the prince's people miscalculated. The people who came out of their prince's mansion were very bullying, but their numbers were not so large. They did not expect that these people would side with Lin Chen.
The people's people combined are much more than the prince's people.
