The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

"I, Qi Yu, will destroy the rebels and strengthen our dynasty. With me and the gods' help, I will ensure that the people and soldiers of the Great Jin are safe and sound, with food, water, shelter, and warm clothing. We will resist famine and slay all the rebels to strengthen the Great Jin!"

The entire camp was silent for a few seconds, and then there were bursts of cheers.

"Prince, Prince, Prince!"

The three people who had just reported him wanted to take the opportunity to escape in disgrace, but unfortunately, they were blocked by Wu Yu and Jiang Zhi one after another.

"General, spare my life!"

The three of them knelt on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

Duan Zhan looked down at me with a light tone, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't recognized you today, I don't know how long you would have kept this a secret from me, huh?"

The three men trembled and said, "We are forced to do this. General, please forgive us this time. We are willing to accept the punishment and be put in solitary confinement."

"Isolation? You colluded with officials, kidnapped and trafficked children, and even wrongfully killed innocent people. You are worse than pigs and dogs, and you are unfit to be a general!"

Duan Zhan would never allow such a heartless person to sneak into his military camp.

Not to mention that they are just young generals, even the main generals will not be forgiven.

"Come here, take him away, and send him to the Imperial Capital after being subjected to military court!"

Ignoring the three men's cries of plea, Duan Zhan stood on the city wall, gazing at the soldiers below. "Soldiers, why do we defend our country? Why do we sacrifice our lives? I dare say that more than half of the 300,000 soldiers have wives and children. We are only fighting for the safety of our families and our country! For the well-being of our children and grandchildren! But those few people, for a tiny profit, sold out their consciences! Children, you are the future of the Jin Dynasty, you are our future! People like you don't deserve to wear this military uniform! Today, I, Duan Zhan, will say this again in front of 300,000 soldiers: If anyone else does something so devoid of conscience, they will be executed on the spot!"

The army dispersed, and Duan Zhan and Qi Yu returned to the main camp.

Qi Yu was about to kneel down to Duan Zhan, but was quickly rejected by the other party.

"His Royal Highness..."

Now that he has regained his status, even if his name is not officially recognized, at least in the hearts of the soldiers he is the prince.

Qi Yu did not kneel again, but refused to be addressed by Duan Zhan. "I have been demoted to the point of being a commoner. The general should not address me like that."

"No matter who you are, you are still the only prince in my heart."

Although the emperor had eight princes, three of whom were of the same age as Qi Yu, and despite competition, he was the only one who broke into the plague village single-handedly and saved more than 30,000 people in the village and cured the plague.

Now, although he has his own calculations and uses the military camp to return to the court, he also disregards life and death and fights to the death with the soldiers, but this kind of lonely bravery is admirable.

"Thank you, Brother Duan."

Qi Yu expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Although his identity was recognized tonight, he would still be unknown if it weren't for Duan Zhan's plan.

Duan Zhan gave him a chance.

"General, Your Highness, please stop thanking me. Thank me for bringing you the roasted leg of lamb!"

Wu Yu walked in from outside the tent, holding a plate of greasy roasted lamb legs in his hand. The aroma of meat instantly filled the tent.

"How many years have you not eaten this?"

Duan Zhan loves martial arts and meat even more.

Although life in the military camp is hard, he will not let the soldiers suffer. They have meat for every meal, and even the stewed meat soup is delicious when soaked with a bowl of white rice. Tonight, such a big lamb leg is placed in front of him, which almost makes the worms in his stomach come out.

"Qi Yu, do you remember the last time we had this delicacy?"

Qi Yu's thoughts raced, and he suddenly returned to eight years ago.

That was the second time he met Duan Zhan.

Imperial Capital, Jinghua Tower.

On his eighth brother's birthday, he invited all the nobles in the imperial capital to a banquet. They sat together to enjoy the moon, drink, recite poetry and have fun. They were so happy.

It was also on that day that they forged their current friendship.

"Delicious! After all, the roasted lamb legs at Jinghua Restaurant can't compare to ours."

Duan Zhan used a thin knife to cut off a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth. He instantly felt that it was an unparalleled delicacy.

However, when he turned around again, he saw Qi Yu cutting the meat piece by piece without tasting it.

"Why don't you eat?"

"Yes, Your Highness, why don't you eat it?" Wu Yu stared at the small pointed pile of meat on his plate and wanted to snatch it away.

"Enjoy your meal, Generals. I'll be back later."

Without answering the two, Qi Yu left the tent carrying the small plate of meat.

Seeing Duan Zhan trying to catch up, Jiang stopped him and said, "General, please take your time."

"He stopped me?" Duan Zhan seemed relieved, or perhaps the lamb leg meat really pleased his stomach. He turned around and said to Wu Yu, "He actually stopped me!"

"He is His Highness's most loyal guard. If I don't stop you, who will? General, hurry up and eat. I snatched this from those brats. If you're any later, it will be gone."

Half sheep, half pig, not much after all. He grabbed a leg and took it away. God knows how fast he ran at that time.

Duan Zhan slapped his thigh when he heard this, "How can this be enough for an army of 300,000 soldiers?"

I'm afraid each person can only get a few pieces.

"Come on, keep grilling! Tonight, everyone has enough!"

Soon, a bonfire was lit in the camp again. The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard that they would have meat to eat again.

The joy after the victory completely dissipated.

Qi Yu hid in the tent and handed the sliced ​​meat to Song Nian, "Nian'er, eat it while it's hot."

"It smells so good, did you peel it yourself?"

Song Nian, who had just returned to the loft, was hit by the aroma before she even sat down. She couldn't help but grab a piece with her bare hands and put it in her mouth.

Hmm, a little bit of seasoning missing.

Wouldn't this be even more delicious if paired with fine wine?

He did what he said. Song Nian hurriedly sent the barbecue ingredients from the small kitchen to Qi Yu and immediately ordered a hundred boxes of beer.

City-wide delivery, if out of stock we will transfer the goods.

"Sprinkle the barbecue seasoning on the barbecue, and then try it?"

Qi Yu didn't say anything. He gave all the meat he had cut to Nian'er because he couldn't bear to eat it.

"Okay, I tried it, it's delicious."

Song Nian curled his lips and took the teapot and teacup on the desk, which were still warm.

"The prince invited me to eat meat, so I will treat the prince to tea."

Qi Yu, who was staring at Song Nian's photo and thinking of her, suddenly found a pot of tea and a teacup at his side.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and he only took a sip before realizing something was wrong.

"Where does this tea come from?"

If Song Nian was in front of him at this moment, he would definitely be stunned by this serious and handsome face.

Song Nian smiled lightly, "Guess?"

"Nian'er!"

Qi Yu's breathing became heavier. He had an unrealistic idea, but he was afraid that he was really overthinking it.

He suppressed the madness in his heart and asked tremblingly, "Have you been to Huai Village?"

Song Nian's gentle and beautiful voice appeared in my mind.

"Qi Yu, I am walking the same path you have walked, so you must take each of your next steps more steadily."
