Chapter 19

Hearing Qin Shan's words, the soldiers were all silent.

They are all weak people selected from the army by the Minister of War. If they want potential, they don’t have potential, and if they want to cultivate, they don’t have cultivation. They joined the army really just to make a living, and it’s pretty good if they can survive.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Qin Shan continued: "Next, I will go to Hu County to suppress the bandits, and my life will be in danger at any time. Maybe I will never return, so I will give you a choice, or follow me to quell the rebellion , or leave now, the emperor will not hold you accountable."

Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what Qin Shan was playing.

"Your Highness, you said we can leave now? We won't be punished as deserters?" one of them asked.

"Of course, the emperor keeps his word. Anyone of you who wants to leave now can leave directly." Qin Shan nodded and said indifferently.

Seeing what Qin Shan said, several people thought for a while before turning around and leaving the Prince's Mansion. Qin Shan didn't stop him at all, someone took the lead and the people behind naturally followed.

Soon, waves of people left, and in the end there were only 20 lonely people left.

These 20 people looked at each other, obviously thinking about whether to leave.

"Is there anyone else who wants to leave? My empress said it one last time, what we are going to do next may have no return." Qin Shan warned again.

In the end, 20 people made up their minds to stay.

Qin Shan nodded and said with a smile: "There are still [-] people staying. The emperor thought they would all leave. It seems that you are all desperate."

"Your Royal Highness, it's not that we don't want to die, but that we can't help ourselves. The 20 of us originally joined the army together and wanted to make a career out of it. Perhaps because of our mediocre qualifications, we have been placed in the barracks as handymen. If we continue like this, we may be handymen for the rest of our lives. Rather than achieving nothing, it is better to live and die with His Royal Highness, and even if we die at that time, we can leave a fortune to our wives and children." One of the short and thin men stood up and said.

"Fourth rank of warriors, it is true that the qualifications are not good, but since you have stayed, this emperor will definitely make you no longer mediocre. Also, what is your name?"

Qin Shan now intends to build his own team. Although these people were not good before, but with the red envelope system, he believes that they can be made into excellent soldiers.

"If you go back to Your Highness, the younger one is called Zhao Si." The short man responded with cupped hands.

"Zhao Si, right? Next, you will take these brothers to recruit a group of soldiers for the emperor. Remember, those recruited must be prepared to die at any time!" Qin Shan pointed at Zhao Si with a look on his face. Seriously.

"As ordered, Your Highness." Zhao Si nodded in response. Although he didn't understand Qin Shan's thoughts, he didn't ask.

Afterwards, Zhao Si took other brothers outside to recruit soldiers for Qin Shan.

As a prince, he can have a group of personal soldiers of his own. The guards in the mansion before were all the eyeliner of the second prince. Qin Shan naturally couldn't believe it, so now he has to ask Zhao Si to recruit again. Although the newcomers recruited may not be strong, but Better than a traitor.

When Zhao Si went to recruit soldiers, Qin Shan was refining pills in the mansion. He had alchemy skills, and he took a batch of medicinal materials from the prince's mansion, so he could use alchemy skills to refine a batch of pills to heal injuries and replenish energy. Medicine, after all, there will be a large-scale battle to wipe out the rebels, so it is good to have some spare medicines.

It is good to have a system. Alchemy directly synthesizes medicinal materials, not to mention the speed, and it is quite convenient. Whether it is successful or not, it will improve the proficiency of alchemy.

……

In the Second Prince's Mansion, they had already received the news that Qin Shan was recruiting soldiers.

"Hahaha! In the end, only [-] people followed that trash. I want to see how this trash can use [-] people to wipe out the rebels!" The second prince laughed and said.

Prime Minister He Shizhong also said with contempt on his face: "If you want to blame, you can only blame him for being too deadly. We prepared 1000 people for him, but he just picked 100 people, and finally let them voluntarily join him. Isn't this an idiot? And now he drives away all the people in the mansion, and goes outside to recruit soldiers, only if someone is willing to follow him!"

"Your Highness, it shouldn't be a problem to kill that wretch this time, right?" He Huan, who was next to him, asked with a sinister face.

"Hmph! He thinks that exterminating the rebels is just a joke, and he is looking for death if he only recruits such a few people. This time, the emperor guarantees that he will never return!" The second prince sneered.

"Although the abolished prince can't recruit too many soldiers, we can intervene so that he can recruit fewer people. In this way, the abolished prince will die faster." He Shizhong said with a sinister face.

He Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Father, let me sabotage their recruitment of soldiers, I don't want the eldest prince to gain power again!"

"Okay, but be careful." He Shizhong nodded in response.

"With my emperor by Huan'er's side, how could she be in danger? Go, I will take you to play." The second prince said confidently with his arms around He Huan.

With the Second Prince as his companion, He Shizhong felt that there was nothing wrong with it. In the imperial city, no one would dare to offend His Highness the Second Prince.

……

Inside the palace.

"Your Majesty, just now the Minister of the Ministry of War allocated 1000 troops to the First Prince, but in the end the First Prince only left 20 people, and now he is recruiting his own soldiers outside. Isn't it a bit too much for this few people to wipe out the rebels..." Eunuch Xue Said while checking the emperor's wink.

"If my guess is correct, the 1000 troops are all old, weak, sick and disabled." The emperor said without the slightest surprise.

"Your Majesty is wise, that is indeed the case, so the First Prince would rather not have it." Eunuch Xue nodded, "But it is very dangerous to put down the rebellion like this, there are thousands of rebels, the First Prince's troops are tantamount to going to die .”

"Since Shan'er didn't ask me for help, it means that he has his own plans. I want to see how he can reverse the difficult situation. His crown prince was abolished once. If he can't show his ability to be stronger than other princes , I will not let him become the prince again!" The emperor said with a flash of light in his eyes.

"But this situation is too difficult, isn't Your Majesty worried?" Eunuch Xue said helplessly.

"If he doesn't come to ask me for help, if I take the initiative to help him, it will appear that he is too weak, and he will definitely be criticized by those ministers, and the chance of ascending to the position of prince again will be even smaller, and I also want to see how he can turn around Such a difficult situation." The emperor spread his hands and said.

In fact, the emperor was also very surprised at this time, leaving only 20 people. This is really asking for a dead end. Even if he goes to Hu County with the help of the local generals, he will not be able to do much. Could it be that Shan'er still has a guard against the sky? Can it?
