Chapter 21 I Am Willing to Lead Troops to Suppress the Rebellion

Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Chamber of Commerce.

Su Cheng pursed his lips, stood in a corner of the meeting room, clenched his fists, and because of too much force, his nails pierced deeply into the palm of his hand, even so, he still couldn't control the slight trembling of his hands .

He took a few deep breaths, but it was still useless, and he couldn't let the heart that was beating wildly due to too much tension return to its usual speed.

At the same time, there was no way to stop his hands and feet from shaking.

Nervous, so nervous!

This is Su Cheng's current state of mind. He now feels his heart beating so fast, his hands and feet are trembling slightly involuntarily, and he even feels a little nauseous.

Because in a little while, according to his answer, his life will change dramatically.

After His Majesty the Emperor called him over yesterday morning, without any pleasantries, he directly asked him if he would take 5,000 soldiers to pacify the 30,000 rebels who had not been pacified after one and a half months. His Majesty the Emperor also gave him It took nearly a day to think about it. It’s okay if you don’t want to take this task. You can still be Ilsa’s teacher. When the big meeting is held tomorrow morning, he will tell his choice.

But now, after His Majesty came down, he had to give His Majesty an answer.

Is to take this task! Still not answering!

Su Cheng has been thinking about the present since yesterday, and because of this, he stayed up all night last night. He has been thinking about the present and has not come up with an answer.

Su Cheng is not the only one in the meeting room now, the meeting room is now full of people.

The long red carpet in the middle of the meeting hall separates the left and right sides. The left and right sides of the red carpet are full of people, only the middle is left empty. The civil servants stood on the left side of the chamber, while the military officers—that is, the knights stood on the right side of the chamber.

The left side of the meeting room is almost full of middle-aged and elderly people, there are basically no young people, and their temperament is more elegant.

On the right side of the chamber, there are many young and middle-aged people. There are basically no old people, and they all have a masculine temperament.

This is the practice of the Britannia Empire. When the emperor wants to hold a big meeting in the chamber, the civil servants and knights stand separately. The civil servants generally stand on the left side of the chamber, while the knights stand on the left side of the chamber. Right side of the chamber.

And today is not only the day for Su Cheng to give the emperor an answer, but also the day for holding a big meeting.

This made Su Cheng even more nervous now. I will give the emperor an answer in full view later.

Apart from nervousness, Su Cheng has more other emotions in his heart now.

There is anxiety, excitement, confusion, panic...

Since His Majesty the Emperor hadn't come yet, and the big meeting hadn't started yet, the people in the meeting room gathered together in twos and threes to chat.

And Su Cheng could hear some other people's conversations, and many people were talking about him.

"He is that Su Cheng, he looks a bit like a prairie man."

"Your Majesty is really too reckless. How can you let someone who has never joined the army directly lead an army of 5,000 people, and you still have to fight more with less, with 5,000 fighting 30,000. The difference in strength is 1 to 6. The Fanlan Knights and the Four Royal Knights would be too much to go out on horseback."

"It is said that it was not His Majesty's idea, but Master Jacob's idea."

"What did Jacob do?"

"Although he is a teacher who specializes in the art of war, it doesn't mean that he will definitely lead troops."

"Hmph, why don't you let me wait for the knights to come out? How can we say that our knights are promoted by military merit, and if a commoner with no combat experience is commanded, wouldn't that let the 5,000 troops die in vain?"

...

All kinds of voices from around fell on Su Cheng's ears, making Su Cheng even more nervous and scared.

At this moment, he suddenly felt darkness in front of him, looked up, and saw a handsome man standing in front of him,

This man looked about his age, but his face was full of arrogance.

"Are you Su Cheng?" the man asked.

"Ah, that's right, I am." Su Cheng tried hard to suppress the tremor in his voice.

"I am Enri Hunter, the Knight of Twin Oaks, and I belong to the Knights of Gabriel." The man said in a haughty tone, "I have heard General Issel mention you before, saying that you have a rare military talent .”

"However, my point of view is the same as that of Alisa. You have never led a soldier, let alone entered the army. You only talk about the art of war. How could a person like you lead the army? If you are sensible, you will reject it." For this task, don’t ruin the names of those 5,000 people in vain, and be a teacher obediently. Your talent is at most just a teacher. If you want to lead the army to fight in the future, you can do it for me as a soldier first. Let’s get up, and then slowly build up military merits and qualifications. I also took a long time to be promoted to the Knight of Xingui, and then it took a long time to be promoted to the Knight of Double Oaks.”

"Have you finished speaking?" Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "If you have finished speaking, can you go away?"

Enli Hunter, Su Cheng also had an impression of this person.

He is an outstanding talent with the same reputation as Alyssa. He and Alyssa are the two most outstanding people in the younger generation of the imperial army, and are known as the twin stars of the Britannia Empire.

Seeing that Su Cheng didn't want to talk to him anymore, Enli curled his lips in displeasure, and then returned to the front on the right side of the meeting hall.

Issel and Alyssa are standing at the forefront on the right side of the chamber. Iser's face was serious, but Alisa's expression was normal.

"What were you doing just now?" Alisa asked Enli.

Enli is one year older than Alisa, and is 20 years old this year. He became a Knight of Double Oaks at the age of 20. At the same time, he has a good relationship with Alisa, and the two are friends.

"It's nothing, I just went to say hello to that Su Cheng. I suggested that he not take up this mission, and just killed those 5,000 people." Enli shrugged, "He's shaking with nervousness now. "

Alisa turned her head and looked at Su Cheng who was shrinking in the corner. Although she was far away, Alisa, who had always had good eyesight, could clearly see that Su Cheng's hands and feet were trembling slightly.

"Are you so nervous? If you're afraid, you can just refuse this mission later." A slight disdain appeared on Alyssa's face.

"Enough," said Isel beside Alisa, "Don't make fun of others casually, let alone belittle others casually. If it were you, you would be so nervous and scared!"

After hearing her father's reprimand, Alisa stuck out her little tongue indifferently.

After a while, the guards in the chamber shouted:

"Your Majesty, come here!"

Su Cheng took another deep breath.

coming! Time to make a decision!

While Su Cheng was thinking this way, he walked to the back of the knights on the right side of the meeting room, and everyone in the meeting room also stood up.

After a while, Emperor Gozevin and Jacob came in through the side door of the chamber.

After sitting down on the throne, Ge Zewen said loudly:

"Today is the day for the big meeting. I have many questions to discuss with the civil servants and knights present, but before that, I need to confirm one thing. Mr. Cheng! Please come forward!"

After hearing the emperor's call to him, Su Cheng took another deep breath, then walked out from behind the knights, and then walked slowly towards the center of the meeting hall.

Su Cheng's hands and feet were still trembling slightly, and many people could see it. Su Cheng heard a lot of subtle laughter and ridicule.

But Su Cheng didn't bother to care about so much anymore, he gritted his teeth and continued to walk slowly.

After arriving at the center of the chamber, he knelt down on one knee slowly, clenched his right hand into a fist, pressed the face of his fist against the ground, and lowered his head deeply.

"How do you think about the task I told you yesterday?" Ge Zewen said lightly, "Are you willing to lead an army of 5,000 to put down the 30,000 rebels?"

Jacob beside Ge Zewen also looked at Su Cheng who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.

Iser, who was standing at the front on the right side of the chamber, looked at Su Cheng solemnly.

Alisa, Enli, and everyone present were also looking at Su Cheng who was kneeling in the center.

All kinds of sights.

There are expectant sights, disdainful sights, and plain sights...

Feeling that all the eyes of everyone present were focused on him, Su Cheng gritted his teeth, and clenched his already clenched right hand even tighter.

Sure enough, it should be rejected. Su Cheng said to himself in his heart.

Su Cheng was having a heated debate in his heart:

Originally, I was just a fan of military and art of war. I had read many books about art of war and military on earth before, and I was familiar with this aspect. The reason why I was selected as Ilsa’s art of war teacher was also because It's just because I copied Sun Tzu's Art of War. It's not because I'm capable at all. I just have a good memory and I'm a copywriter.

In the final analysis, I have no talent at all in the art of war and military affairs. Mr. Iser just read Sun Tzu's art of war that I copied, and then mistakenly thought that I was very talented. I have no talent at all!

It doesn't hurt me to reject this task, I can still be Ilsa's art of war teacher, I can still get a good salary, and the days to come will get better and better.

If I accept this task, I will go to war, and I may die in the war. I don't want to die so soon!

But... this is a great opportunity, if I seize it, my future life will definitely become...

No no no no no! What am I thinking! No matter how great the opportunity is, you have to seize it! Alyssa and that Enli are right, I can only talk about it, how can I lead an army of 5,000 people without even joining the army!

Ok! Refuse this task!

Then continue to be an easy, safe, well-paid teacher!

Ok! reject!

Go ahead and live a life that is both easy and safe.

The job was just teaching Ilsa a lesson, easy and safe, and paid well.

Life in the future will get better and better.

Continue to live leisurely with Alan and the others every day, living an ordinary but happy life.

Yes, an ordinary but happy life, this is enough for me.

normal life......

yeah...that's enough for me...

normal life......

enough......

 …

Su Cheng let go of his tightly clenched teeth, and shouted, the voice was so loud that everyone in the chamber was startled.

"I! I want to go to suppress the rebellion!! I will use these 5,000 people to defeat 30,000 rebels!!"

Su Cheng's voice echoed in Nuo Da's conference hall.

Iser slowly closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "You have hit the mark, Jacob..."

Alisa and Enli's eyes widened.

The civil servants showed surprise on their faces.

Most of the knights frowned.

But Jacob showed a gratified smile, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "You really are not a person willing to be ordinary..."
