We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Emperor Qing was old after all, and after eating the noodles, he gradually felt sleepy.

So, Huang Jin took Li Che and the others to find a palace to rest.

Li Che wanted to refuse. After all, he had already reached adulthood and it would not sound good if he continued to stay in the palace.

But he was sternly rejected by Emperor Qing: "Even if you are sixty or seventy years old, you are still my son. What's wrong with living in the palace?"

Li Che had no choice but to agree.

However, Li Che also asked Emperor Qing to let him go to the military camp to appease the Fengtian Army soldiers.

Emperor Qing had no objection and gave them both golden medals that allowed them to enter and leave the palace at will, and asked Huang Jin to escort them out of the palace.

Huang Jin escorted Li Che and Li Lin out of the palace, and Huo Duanxiao and Ying Bu, who were waiting outside the door, followed.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Huang Jin said to Li Che:

"Your Highness, you really scared me to death today. The capital has been uneasy lately. The city is full of barbarian envoys who don't know etiquette. Your Highness, you should bring more guards with you when you go out in the future."

Li Che frowned: "Do those barbarians dare to harm the people?"

Huang Jin shook his head. "They wouldn't dare to do that, but the quality of these envoys is mixed. Some of them seem like uncivilized barbarians."

"They don't know how to use money when buying things, and don't know how to give way to carriages when walking. That's already considered good... And then there are those who urinate and defecate everywhere. They've made women in the capital afraid to go out casually."

Li Che was speechless when he heard this.

They even urinate and defecate everywhere. Could it be that these envoys are all from our country?

But on second thought, ancient Europe was also like this.

The city's sewage system is backward, and the roads are covered with compacted shit. High heels were invented to prevent people from stepping on shit.

Coincidentally, the long skirts worn by noble ladies are actually designed to make it convenient to squat and defecate or urinate at any time.

In comparison, Daqing's urban construction is much more advanced, at least the drainage and sewage system is relatively sound.

"Don't worry, Otomo, I understand," Li Che replied.

Huang Jin thought for a moment, then moved closer and asked, "Your Highness, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter? Just tell me." Li Che said.

"It's the pheasant called 'Flying Dragon' from Feng State... Do you remember it?"

"I remember, what's wrong?" Li Che looked confused.

"What do they usually like to eat? Insects? Nuts? Or some kind of grain?" Huang Jin asked with an eager look on his face.

Li Che was a little confused.

How would I know what pheasants like to eat? I only know how to cook them deliciously.

He thought about it and replied, "I'm not sure about that. I think they eat young leaves, buds, berries, or something like that, right?"

"So that's how it is. Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness." Huang Jin thanked him and turned back.

Li Che looked at the old eunuch's back and felt that he was a little puzzled.

Seeing that Li Lin beside him was still a little dazed, Li Che stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him: "Fourth brother, come back to your senses!"

Li Lin suddenly woke up: "We are out?"

"I came out early. I need to go to the military camp. Do you want to come?"

"Of course we'll go together." Li Lin nodded, then suddenly moved closer to Li Che and said, "Sixth Brother, tell me, what did the emperor mean by what he just said to you?"

Li Che subconsciously pushed his big face away with his hand, frowned and said: "What are you talking about? What do you mean?"

"That's what I said. The prince is often ill. You should encourage him!"

Li Che sneered: "What else can it mean? It's just empty talk."

Li Che was very familiar with this.

The prince is in poor health, so should I try harder?

But whether the prince is sick or not, what does it have to do with me?

This statement neither makes any promise nor has any practical meaning, which can easily lead people into misconceptions.

If any other princes heard this, they would have been overjoyed, thinking that the emperor wanted them to succeed the throne.

But Li Che felt nothing at all. He became increasingly aware that this world was ruled by absolute strength.

If Feng State was weak, would Emperor Qing still be so kind to him, and would Zhu Chun and other nobles take the initiative to surrender?

I’m afraid that even the King of Yan in front of me wouldn’t be so close to me?

Therefore, when Emperor Qing made his promise, Li Che just listened to it for fun and did not take it seriously at all.

Li Lin is completely different. This kid is still a little immature and has been a little numb by Emperor Qing's PUA.

"I ask you to try your best! Tell me, has the emperor already thought of passing the throne to you?" Prince Yan said excitedly.

Li Che glanced at him and said, "Didn't the emperor tell you this?"

"never had!"

"Maybe he has told the King of Qin and the King of Jin." Li Che said casually.

Emperor Qing is an old empty talker.

If he didn't often make empty promises, how could he make the princes compete so hard?

Li Lin said helplessly, "Why do I feel like you don't care about what the emperor thinks? Just now in the Yangxin Palace, it was the same. Aren't you afraid of the emperor?"

Li Che nodded: "I am still afraid. Father is the emperor, who wouldn't be afraid?"

Li Lin was speechless for a while. Looking at Li Che's face without any emotion, he couldn't believe a single punctuation mark in his words.

The two of them went together to the Beijing camp. Li Che looked back at the imperial city and suddenly remembered that he had not told Emperor Qing about the King of Goryeo and the extra troops.

Forget it, let’s talk about it when there’s a chance. Judging from Emperor Qing’s expression, he doesn’t seem to care much about the army exceeding the standard.

As for the King of Goryeo... he hasn't learned the dance well yet, so he can't perform it well now.

Wait until all the countries come to pay tribute and attend the grand ceremony tomorrow, and then let him go.

The Jing camp was very large, and Li Che and his companions first arrived at the Yan army camp.

The Yan army was very honest and nothing happened. Except for the sentries on duty, everyone else had been asleep for a while.

Li Lin gave a few instructions and then accompanied Li Che to the Fengtian Army camp.

The Feng Army camp was as quiet as the Yan Army camp, and there was deathly silence all around.

Seeing this, Li Lin couldn't help but complain: "I told you, what could possibly happen in the military camp that you had to come here?"

"Let's take a look. You'll feel at ease after reading it." Li Che replied.

When we arrived at the gate of the military camp, there was no one on guard.

Li Che frowned.

What's going on? These bastards, have they already let their guard down after arriving in the capital?

He gave Huo Duanxiao a wink, and Huo Duanxiao and Ying Bu immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open with force.

The moment the door opens.

brush--

Behind the door, more than two thousand soldiers looked in!

squeak--

Several cannons turned around!

wow——

Hundreds of loaded muskets were raised, their muzzles pointed straight at us!

Li Lin felt a murderous aura coming towards him, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His hands involuntarily reached into his clothes, but he found nothing.

Li Che was also shocked at first, but after seeing the situation clearly, he instantly became furious and said:

"What are you doing up at night? Where's Gao Gong? Come over here and see me!"

When the soldiers heard the familiar voice, they felt relieved and put down their weapons.

"It's His Highness, Your Highness is back!"
