Chapter 180: Inside the palace

It has entered the early winter season, and the weather is getting colder, and the palace is no exception. Braziers have risen in the palace, and warmth is sent into every room through the pipes that have covered the entire palace in the era of the Immortal Dynasty. After all, the princes, princesses and concubines in the palace are all more expensive, and even the servants are superior. Therefore, although it is early winter season, the weather is not so cold, but the heating has begun.

In the magnificent palace and in a huge room in the harem, Bavarian king Li Ziming was sitting alone in the main hall, holding the memorial in his hand and watching carefully. As the king of a country and a wise king, Li Ziming, was even more so. He was busy with government affairs from nine to five all day long. Although it was already late at night, Li Ziming still did not rest.

Of course, the reason why Li Ziming did not rest today was not because of delays on other things, but because he was waiting for Bai Qi's news. When Bai Qi took action, he had already reported it to Li Ziming secretly. This matter was approved by Li Ziming, otherwise Bai Qi would not dare to mobilize a hundred thousand troops at will even have the courage to do so.

In the brightly lit room, at least hundreds of large red candles, thickly lit, shining the whole room red. Li Ziming sat in the center, with only an old eunuch standing behind him, and there was no one in the room. However, outside the door, hundreds of soldiers were holding weapons and wearing golden armor, standing straight there one by one, dozens of masters in the inner room supported outside the door to ensure Li Ziming's safety...

"Zhiya..." The vermilion gate at the door was opened by someone. Two soldiers from the Guards slowly pushed open the heavy gate as high as five meters. A eunuch in a gray robe hurriedly ran out of the door. He arched his body and lowered his head and ran into several meters, then knelt down on the ground with a "touch" and shouted respectfully: "Come on Your Majesty, Bai Qi, deputy commander of the Wangdu Guard Division, asked for a visit outside the palace gate."

After hearing this, Li Ziming, who was holding a pen to give memorials, suddenly raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, a smile appeared on his firm face, and sat there muttered to himself: "Good boy... I'm finally here, but let me wait..."

He said the whole thing, and looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground in front of him and said lightly: "What are you doing when you are standing there? Why don't you let him in quickly..."

"Uh...yes..." The eunuch responded in his unique sharp voice, and after that, he rushed out all the way. Speaking of which, these eunuchs were pitiful. Not only did they have defects that were incomparable to ordinary people, but they were also more submissive when facing their masters. This is even more so for those around the emperor. On the surface, they were actually scared all day behind their backs. Not to mention that this eunuch who was in charge of informing them, they would have the endurance of a marathon long-distance running master and the speed of a world sprint champion. Otherwise, if the emperor was angry a little later, he might fall to the ground at any time.

But a few minutes later, Bai Qi was led into the main hall. Bai Qi strode into the meteor. After several steps, the door behind him closed suddenly, while Bai Qi fell to the ground and shouted: "I... Bai Qi will meet your Majesty."

"Well... get up... how are things going?" Li Ziming, who was sitting there, looked at Bai Qi in front of him with a smile and then said aloud.

"This..." Bai Qi didn't say anything, but looked at the old eunuch behind Li Ziming. Although Bai Qi knew that the people who could stand here were Li Ziming's confidants, it would be better to be careful in everything. What if Li Ziming didn't want others to know about this? Then wouldn't he offend Li Ziming?

Naturally, Bai Qi's eyes could not be hidden from Li Ziming. Li Ziming smiled slightly and was even more satisfied with the meticulous Bai Qi. He glanced at Bai Qi and Li Ziming in front of him and smiled: "Tell me, he has been following me for decades, and I don't hide anything from him... Just say it."

"Yes... Report to Your Majesty, the matter has been completed. All the personnel of the Black Knights and the delegation have been killed, leaving no one left." Bai Qi was not vague about this. Since Li Ziming said this, what are he still worried about? So after hearing this, he immediately answered decisively.

"What crime? What reason?" Li Ziming asked with some concern.

"Kidnap a noble lady, kill the kingdom nobles in the street, arrested them privately, and lynched them. Finally... resisted arrest and resisted resistance, and used troops to attack and kill thousands of people in the King** team, intending to rebel, and the delegation also participated, so... all the members killed them..." Bai Qi said his reasons quietly...

"Well... I dare to act so boldly. These people should really kill them... Bai Qi, you did a good job, I admire you very much..." Li Ziming said calmly after hearing this.

"Thank you Your Majesty for praise. This is all thanks to Your Majesty's leadership and the soldiers exchanged their lives. Bai Qi dared not take credit for it." Bai Qi replied modestly.

"Well...every soldier who participated gave a bonus of one gold coin, as for the dead and injured soldiers, in addition to the resettlement fee, plus ten gold coins...as for you... Bai Qi...what do you want?" Li Ziming said this, which was equivalent to giving Bai Qi the opportunity to let Bai Qi say the reward he wanted. This was a huge favor, and Bai Qi was a little stunned for a moment.

"This... Your Majesty dare not take credit." Bai Qi has a kind of humility in ancient China, so he naturally will not take the initiative to ask for anything. First, this is not possible in Bai Qi's thinking. Second, if he does this, even if Li Ziming keeps his promise, Li Ziming will not be happy. After all, everything in the kingdom belongs to the king. The king can give it to his subjects at will, but... the subjects cannot take the initiative to ask for it... This is the rule... it is the iron law.

"That's how... Bai Qi... The kingdom has formed ten new legions. You know... um... the 26th Legion to the 35th Legion... there are a total of ten legions. Would you like to go to the 35th Legion to be a division commander?" He looked at Bai Qi and Li Ziming in front of him and suddenly said this.

After hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned at first, and then he hurriedly said respectfully: "It depends on your Majesty..."

Bai Qi understood that this was Li Ziming giving him a chance to support him, and a big war was about to start. Wang ** obviously had an absolute advantage. This war was almost certain, because the military strength was too different. Even if the kingdom did not use the Northern Iron Wall Legion, he only transferred the Southern Swamp Legion and the Eastern Sea Dragon Legion to leave behind their affiliated legions, mobilized the Royal Capital Imperial Guards, and did not mobilize the four major camps. In addition, sixteen legions could be used, totaling nineteen legions. Although Andrey had already fought his best, his seven northwest provinces had ten legions, and if he increased his troops, he could not afford it. The royal capital was almost twice theirs, and there were several elite elites among them. There were almost no suspense in this war... Of course, the premise was that there was no major deviation.

Once you enter the army, the new army of these ten legions will definitely enter the battlefield. At that time, you can quickly accumulate military merits. This... has to be said to be great news. If Bai Qi performed outstandingly in this war, and there was a vacant force in the army commander, Bai Qi might not be unable to take office.

So Bai Qi agreed without hesitation. Although Bai Qi knew that if he insisted on staying, then... I thought that Wang Hai could still be a lieutenant general and commander in a few years, once he retired, it would be too unchallenging for Bai Qi.

"Well...haha...is not bad... Since that's the case, I will issue an imperial edict to you tomorrow, and you will report in five days, hehe... You are the youngest general in the kingdom. I will notify the commander before that to give you a major general... Don't worry... Remember, when you arrive at the 35th Legion... you must prepare well... War... I guess it's not far from us... If I'm not wrong, Andre will definitely endure such a thing if something happens.

I can't stand it anymore... Winter is not good for combat, so he will definitely not take action. The commander and intelligence department also said that Andrei was not ready and would not take action in winter, but... I know Andrei's character. He has followed me to fight in the south and north... I still know him very well. If you have any revenge, this is Andrei's character. Once spring begins, he will declare war on us immediately... So... I want you to get ready immediately after you get there... prepare for battle."

"Yes... Your Majesty... I know, I will definitely be tragic to repay Your Majesty's kindness." Bai Qi said so as he learned from the costume drama.

"Haha... OK... Not bad... You are very good at talking... and very capable. Bai Qi, I like you... Don't let me down... The new army is just one hundred miles southwest of the capital, you should know where... Then I will allow you to take your confidants in the capital security department with you... And don't worry, as long as you perform well, even if you can't become a commander in the army... Wang Hai's position will still be yours at that time..." Li Ziming said with a laugh.

"Yes... I thank the Lord for your kindness... Long live Your Majesty..." Bai Qi replied respectfully after hearing this, taking out the longest words that ancient ministers said to the emperor... But obviously no one has said this now...

Li Ziming's eyes lit up after hearing this, touched the beard on his chest and laughed, "Long live long? Hahaha... OK... Not bad... I hope to lend you a good word... I like this very much... You go down... Remember, don't let my expectations down!"
