C282 Chu Feng's Speculation Was Correct

"You don't have to flatter me. It's getting late. It's better for you to go back and prepare. There are still a lot of troublesome things that you need to do tomorrow. Don't be too impatient when the time comes. "

Obviously, Chu Feng was chasing them away.

Ling Yun had been the commander for so many years, so how could he not understand what he meant? He smiled awkwardly and was about to take his leave. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and could not help but ask, "That's right, Your Majesty. Although we must not be careless when dealing with the Barbarian Tribe, bringing fifty thousand Imperial Guards with us is a bit too much. Furthermore, Lin Qing's cultivation base was not bad, but he had no experience in commanding a battle. Isn't it a little. . . Inappropriate to let him replace the Great General?"

" Don't worry about this beloved minister. I will send the four guards to assist Commander Lin as the strategists. They were all generals in the past, and they have studied the art of war as well as commanding countless battles. Furthermore, all of them have extraordinary cultivation base. With their abilities, they should be able to shoulder this great responsibility. As for the fifty thousand guards. . . "

Chu Feng paused for a moment and said, "I heard that General Lo has a thirty thousand men army under his command. They are known as the Lonely Soul, and they can conquer anything. They won every battle, and once they killed the Barbarian Army, they threw away their armor and armor, and fled in fear. In my opinion, such a powerful team. . . In terms of battle, I'm afraid that even my Imperial Army can't match up to them. But after all, all of them have cultivation bases. If we train them well. . . I believe that these fifty thousand Imperial Army soldiers are enough to make up for their deficiencies. "

"What the Emperor means is. . . Is he planning to use fifty thousand Imperial Guards to replace the Lonely Soul Legion?" Ling Yun cautiously asked. He faintly felt that things were not that simple.

"So what if he is?" Chu Feng sighed. "The soldiers of Lonely Soul Legion have fought for Great Chu for so many years. It's time to let them rest. "

"This. . . " Ling Yun gritted his teeth and stopped him, "But to many people, dying in the battlefield is the final destination of the soldiers. Isn't it a little inappropriate for Emperor to do this?"

"Heh. " Chu Feng sneered and said disapprovingly, "Obviously we can live on. Why should we die? Only when we have nowhere else to go can we die in battle. It is the best choice. If we can live, I believe that no one will be willing to die! "

Ling Yun's heart trembled. Since ancient times, accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger. All the birds were gone. A good bow was hidden, a cunning rabbit died, and a dog was cooked. Was this the final fate of a subject?

"Once senior brother leaves, the army will surely be thrown into chaos, and the morale of the army will collapse. If we dismiss the Lonely Soul Legion at this critical moment, wouldn't that be a cold sweat to the soldiers? If the Barbarian Army attacks at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable. I would like to ask the Emperor to reconsider!" Ling Yun bit the bullet and persuaded.

Chu Feng sneered. "Are you threatening me with the morale of the army?"

"I dare not!" Ling Yun hurriedly knelt down and said with a choking voice: "Senior brother has been fighting for the Great Chu for his entire life. This official only hopes that the Emperor can give him a decent ending on account of his loyalty. This way, not only will it give some comfort to the old officials but it will also let the people who come later feel the majesty's grace. This official begs the Emperor to grant his wish!"

As he said that, he forcefully kowtowed. Instantly, the sound of "dong, dong, dong. " In a moment, he had already kowtowed until his head was bleeding.

"Enough, what are you doing! Get up!" Chu Feng flicked his sleeves and said, "How could I not know that Luo Aiqing is loyal to the Great Chu? However, three assassins from the Barbarian Tribe came in from the heavily guarded army of a million, trying to capture the princess. How could I accept that? Are the million strong army all vegetarians? Are they just for show?"

Ling Yun was instantly speechless. He suddenly understood the meaning that the Emperor wanted to express. If what the Princess said was true and there were really assassins from the Barbarian Tribe here, then. . . It was absolutely impossible to say that there were no spies. Moreover, they had the ability to avoid everyone's eyes and ears. To bring the people of Barbarian Tribe into Great Chu without anyone knowing, ordinary soldiers naturally wouldn't have the ability to do so. Then, the answer was obvious. Either the traitor was a trusted aide of the Lo Gucheng. Or the traitor was the Lo Gucheng itself.

"Impossible, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Ling Yun instantly collapsed and shouted hysterically, "Senior Brother will never betray us! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"Hmph, the truth is right in front of me! It's not up to you to not believe it! " Chu Feng's palm landed on his shoulder, and a few parts of the Genuine Qi passed through. It made him calm down a lot and said, "Speaking of Luo Aiqing, I only suspect that. After all, the traitor is very likely to be one of his trusted aides. Out of caution, before the truth is revealed. . . I can only think of such a compromise to withdraw Luo Aiqing and his Lonely Soul Legion. Don't worry, these people are the heroes of Great Chu. I won't treat them unfairly. "

Only then did Ling Yun calm down. However, his expression inevitably became dispirited. After all, the feeling of falling from heaven to hell was not very pleasant. Just now, he was still happy for his senior brother, but now he heard that his senior brother might be a traitor. This kind of blow was not something that an ordinary person could bear.

"So the reason why the Emperor would rather send Lin Qing over this time is because he is afraid that this official will do something irrational because of personal feelings, right? Or perhaps the Emperor is worried that this official will also become a traitor. Submit to the Barbarian Tribe?" Ling Yun smiled bitterly. Indeed. If he had to choose someone to replace Ren Lo Gucheng, how would he know? He was more suitable than a one-track minded Lin Qing, and now, he was the only one left. What did that mean?

"Of course not!" Chu Feng glared at him and said unhappily, "In your eyes, am I that heartless?"

Ling Yun was stunned by his gaze and did not know how to reply.

However, he heard Chu Feng sigh and said weakly, "Compared to this matter, I have something more important to hand over to you. "

"Something more important?" Ling Yun asked in surprise, "Is there anything more important than finding a spy?"

"Hmph, do you think there's only a mole at the border? It's just a small fish. " Chu Feng replied in a sinister manner, "In this dynasty, There is also a bigger spy lurking around you and me. Look at us. That big fish is the one that should be caught the most. Because it is fine if it did not move, but once it does, Even if it only flips its body, I'm afraid it will be the most fatal blow to the entire Great Chu. "

Hearing this, Ling Yun suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him. That creepy feeling made him have goosebumps all over his body.

"So the reason why this official couldn't find any clues was also because this person deliberately erased it?"
