The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1113
[Chapter 1113 Border Guard Troops]
Seeing Huang Feng was so decisive, Lin Tian did not pause at all, and got back into the carriage, and then ordered the guard Ying to lead the carriage to follow Huang Feng.
Lin Tian and Chen Huifang both opened the curtains of the carriage. Although the weather here was very cold, they still looked out of the window to see the soldiers guarding the border next to them.
At this time, there were tents of all sizes on both sides of the military camp. These tents seemed to be made of cowhide, which was why they could keep warm here. If ordinary cotton was used, it would probably not be resistant to cold here.
“Brothers, the emperor sent the special envoy, Prime Minister Lin, to see us. We have not been abandoned by the emperor of Yan. His arrival means that our efforts have not been in vain, but he is guarding our relatives and friends. You all come out and salute the prime minister.”
Huang Feng said to the many soldiers guarding the border in the military camp while walking in front of the carriage.
After hearing what Huang Feng said, many soldiers guarding the border in the barracks all looked at the carriage behind Huang Feng. Some people also came out of their tents after hearing what Huang Feng said.
They stood neatly on both sides of the road. Although they were messy, they were disciplined. When Lin Tian’s carriage passed by, they all hammered their left chests with their right hands, and then bowed their heads to Lin Tian’s carriage.
After seeing this scene, Lin Tian suddenly felt strange in his heart. Whether in his previous life or in this dynasty, Lin Tian had long wanted to be respected by everyone, and even to get everyone’s attention.
Now, this scene has just been imprinted in Lin Tian’s eyes, and at this moment he feels as if he has been looking forward to it for a long time. Everyone around him was respectful to him, and after he passed by, others had stopped what they were doing, but the eyes full of awe also looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian
wanted to jump off the carriage immediately and return the salute to them. This was not only the greatest respect for them, but also a recognition of them, and an affirmation of the border defense mission they did.
But Lin Tian did not jump off the carriage. If he jumped off the carriage now, in the eyes of these border guards, it would be a sign of disrespect for them and a sign of not accepting their etiquette.
Therefore, Lin Tian resisted the urge in his heart and walked to the room where Huang Feng usually discussed things with the generals, which was Huang Feng’s resting tent.
When he arrived in front of the tent, Huang Feng turned around and Lin Tian’s carriage stopped. Lin Tian and Chen Huifang got out of the carriage one after another, and then Lin Tian came to the side of General Huang Feng, and Chen Huifang followed Lin Tian all the time.
“My fellow soldiers, I have come to the border military camp this time for no special reason. I just want to tell you something, and I hope you will listen to me carefully.
Previously, Prime Minister Zhao, who was above everyone else, had reached the age of seventy, so he wrote a document of retirement and returned home. Everyone knows that a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day.
I am honored to be favored by His Majesty and selected as the Prime Minister of Yan State four or five months ago. I am Lin Tian, who is only nineteen years old this year, and I believe I am younger than many of you.
But now that His Majesty has sent me to the border military camp, “Consoling the soldiers, perhaps this is the greatest trust that His Majesty has in me. You may not believe me, but you have your mission, which is to protect the territory of Yan from foreign aggression.
You are also protecting your relatives and friends. They are all pretending to wait for you. When you first arrived at the peaceful unification of Yan, you have also completed your mission.
Now, I have received His Majesty’s order to make Yan rich and strong in a short time. I believe that day will not be too far away, and you will be able to return to your home and reunite with your relatives and friends at that time.”
Lin Tian said to the soldiers guarding the border in the barracks passionately.
But they all knew that Lin Tian was painting a pie for them, and it was a very big pie, but they had no reason not to believe Lin Tian’s words.
After all, at the age of nineteen, Lin Tian became the prime minister of Yan today. Lin Tian’s talent and wisdom must have been recognized by the emperor and other civil and military officials in the court.
They are just soldiers guarding the border, and they all hope to return to their homes as soon as possible and reunite with their relatives and friends. So, after hearing Lin Tian’s words, they all burst into boiling applause.
“Okay, everyone, do your job. I will pick a time to inspect each place.”
Lin Tian said to them, and then motioned Huang Feng to return to the tent. It seemed that he had something to say to Huang Feng. Huang
Feng first lifted the curtain of his tent, and then led Lin Tian and Chen Huifang in, and asked them to sit down.
“Prime Minister Lin, I wonder if I should ask you something?”
Huang Feng was the first to ask Lin Tian.
They were people who marched and fought all year round, and they probably didn’t care about those red tapes, so they spoke directly.
Lin Tian didn’t care, but liked his character.
“What can’t be said? Anyway, there are no other outsiders here.”
After hearing Huang Feng’s words, Lin Tian spoke to Huang Feng.
Huang Feng guessed that Chen Huifang and Lin Tian had a special relationship when Chen Huifang got off the carriage, otherwise Lin Tian would not have brought her to the military camp, and now he brought her with him anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, when Huang Feng heard Lin Tian say that there were no outsiders here, he did not have any strange reaction. Instead, Chen Huifang was a little uncomfortable.
If she remembered correctly, this was probably the first time that Lin Tian said that she was not an outsider. Although this was very imaginative, Chen Huifang felt a little warm in her heart.
But Chen Huifang was well-educated after all, so when she saw that Lin Tian and the others wanted to talk about business, she wanted to get up and leave. But Lin Tian, who was next to her, felt her movement and quickly grabbed her wrist, so she had no choice but to sit down.
It’s not that Lin Tian didn’t let her go out, and they had been walking for such a long time, and in such a low temperature, even he couldn’t stand it, let alone Chen Huifang, a girl. So, Lin Tian wanted Chen Huifang to warm up in the Hornet tent.
“I’m afraid what Prime Minister Lin said before is not true, please tell me the truth.”
