The best ring

Yuanlong and Du Dezhong are from the same village. Both of them are from rural areas and have no background. They have worked hard to get to where they are today. They don't have any prominent background or strong backers.

Therefore, Yuanlong knew very well that if he knew about Princess Xi, he would lose his job, but it was very likely that his life would be in danger.

Yuanlong wanted to expose and report Princess Xi for a moment, so that he would not have to assassinate the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom and bear the anger of Princess Xi.

But this idea only passed through Yuanlong's mind for a while, and then he was ruthlessly expelled from his mind.

This method is not advisable!

In fact, for him, this is simply a way to die!

Yuanlong can of course take this secret letter to the emperor and expose Princess Xi to the emperor.

But then what?

Will the emperor kill Princess Xi because of this?

It's impossible!

Don't say that this incident hasn't happened yet, the Princess of Yanfeng Kingdom hasn't died yet. Even if the Princess of Yanfeng Kingdom died, the Emperor couldn't kill Princess Xi, just because of her special identity! Whatever the Emperor decides, he needs to consider the influence of all parties. Princess Xi's dual identity means that she can't be killed. At most, she will be scolded. However, for Princess Xi, it's completely painless.

As long as Princess Xi doesn't die, as the person who exposes Princess Xi, he Yuanlong will definitely be close to death. The Emperor won't offend the power of Princess Xi's family behind him because of an ordinary general. The two sides are not at the same level at all.

Therefore, as long as Yuanlong dares to expose Princess Xi, he will definitely die. This is also the reason why Princess Xi dared to send him such a secret letter when she was not familiar with Yuanlong.

As long as Yuanlong is not stupid, he will not expose her. At most, he will not do it according to her request.

What should I do?

Yuanlong sat on the recliner, closed his eyes, and frowned.

He thought of his good friend again.

The two men came from the same mountain village, and even joined the army at the same time. It can be said that their starting points were completely the same.

But now, their identities are completely different.

He is the garrison commander of a city, while Du Dezhong is the deputy general of the Tianlang Army. If we only look at the position, it seems that his position as a garrison commander is higher, but this is not the case.

Liuyun City is just a medium-sized city. As the garrison commander of Liuyun City, he can be domineering in Liuyun City, but in the entire Tianji Kingdom, he is very inconspicuous. As a superpower, Tianji Kingdom has many large cities, and even a super city like Tianxing City. He is a garrison commander of a medium-sized city, which is really not worth mentioning.

Du Dezhong is different. The Tianlang Army is a famous army that protects the imperial capital. Looking at the entire Tianji Kingdom, the Tianlang Army is one of the best. Not only is there a large number of people, but also the combat effectiveness is quite strong.

At the same time, because he was stationed in the imperial capital for many years, Du Dezhong, as a deputy general, had the opportunity to contact the dignitaries in the imperial capital, and even meet the princes and the emperor. The emperor and the princes knew that there was a figure like Du Dezhong in the army of Tianji Kingdom, but few people knew his name, Yuanlong. What's more, now Du Dezhong has also caught up with the prince and become one of the important generals of the prince's system. His career will definitely be smooth sailing, especially after the prince ascends the throne, then as a minister of the dragon, Du Dezhong will be even more extraordinary.

There is already a big gap between the two now, and in the future, this gap will only get bigger and bigger.

Yuanlong is unwilling! He thinks he is not worse than Du Dezhong, but he is not as good as Du Dezhong, which makes him very unwilling. When he sees his friend again after many years, Yuanlong is happy on the surface, but he is envious and jealous in his heart.

And now, an opportunity to catch up with or even surpass Du Dezhong is right in front of him, as long as he dares to give it a try!

"General, the dinner is ready." The voice of the servant came from outside the study.

"Got it." Yuan Long replied.

After that, Yuan Long opened his eyes, stood up, and walked out of the study. Before leaving the study, he took another look at the note on the table, then turned back and tore the note into pieces before leaving the study.

At this time, he had already made a decision in his heart.

The dinner at Yuan Long's mansion was very lively. Although only Yuan Long and Du Dezhong attended, they had not seen each other for many years. Now they finally got the opportunity to meet, so they were naturally very happy. The whole hall was filled with their hearty laughter.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Du Dezhong mentioned the business.

"To be honest with you, this time my brother has something to ask for." Du Dezhong said.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Long took a sip of wine and asked with a red face: "It's probably not a small matter that makes you ask for help."

"It's indeed not a small matter." Du Dezhong also took a sip of wine and said: "You know, I came out this time to welcome the bride, but who knew that it would not go smoothly. The villains were too rampant and set up an ambush in my Tianji country, causing heavy losses to my team. I am afraid that I will encounter an ambush on the road later, so I want to borrow some soldiers from you. When I send the princess of Yanfeng country to the imperial capital, I will let them return to the team."

Yuan Long did not rush to answer, but ate a few bites of food.

"Is it okay? Give me a word." Du Dezhong was a little anxious: "I really want to ask you for help this time. You have to help me with this matter."

"Hahaha." Yuan Long laughed loudly and said, "I see how anxious you are. You have already opened your mouth. Can I not agree? I'm afraid if I don't agree, you will break up with me tomorrow."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said." Hearing Yuan Long's promise, Du Dezhong also laughed: "However, if you can agree to borrow troops, I still have to thank you. Come on, let me toast you!"

After saying that, Du Dezhong raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, his face looking even more drunk.

Yuan Long was not in a hurry to drink, but said: "Originally, I shouldn't mobilize the army at will. Even if you and I are good friends, I shouldn't do this."

Seeing that Du Dezhong was anxious again, Yuan Long continued: "Don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet. What you are doing this time is not a private matter, but a business matter, and it is also a very important matter for our Tianji Kingdom. , Your Majesty will not blame me for this."

In the Kingdom of Tianji, every guard has a certain right to mobilize troops. This is a right given to deal with emergencies. Of course, this right cannot be too great, otherwise it will be easy to mess up, but borrow some There is no problem in sending troops to Du Dezhong. After all, as Yuan Long said, this matter is a serious matter. Even if the emperor knew about it, he would not say anything.
