Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 131: Division and Reunion

For a moment, Song Yuan felt a little complicated.

How should I treat the Wei father and son in front of me?

There's no point in complaining. After all, they are doing this for our own good!

After all, Wei Da was considered a mainstay of the Ministry of War five years ago. He was willing to condescend to become his deputy general, which was really a great honor for him!

But if I were to say thank you, would I be crazy?

This father and son duo are like lunatics, always clinging to me without caring whether I have such needs or not.

If my big plan is ruined, who can I complain to?

Just thinking about it made Song Yuan feel a headache!

"Brother, you must remember what I said before. No matter who asks you, you must say that we have never met!"

After conveying Duke Wei's intention, Duke Wei ignored Song Yuan's reaction. He immediately gave him some instructions and turned around to say goodbye.

Looking at the man's receding figure, Song Yuan couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Before, I didn’t care about winning or losing, but from now on, I’m afraid I must win!

Once you lose, it's like putting a plaster on yourself.

By then, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get rid of it even if you want to!

This Wei Da is following me, how can I rebel?

It’s just a pity that the other party didn’t talk about the specific martial arts performance items in the end.

Even if Song Yuan wanted to take precautions in advance, he would be like a tiger trying to grab the sky and having nowhere to put his claws.

"What did the eldest son of the Duke of Wei say to you before?" Seeing Wei Da's back disappear from sight, Situ Jing was the first to come forward.

Faced with such a tricky topic, how could Song Yuan tell the story like this?

"Nothing, just asking if I need help!"

"Then what did you say?" When Situ Jing heard this, there was obvious anxiety in her eyes.

After all, Song Yuan's choice represents his image in other people's minds.

As the princess and the deputy general of this martial arts performance, if Song Yuan really had confidence in herself, why would she agree to help an outsider?

"Of course I rejected him!"

Song Yuan and Situ Jing have been together for so long that he could understand each other's intentions with just a glance.

He immediately patted his chest and flattered Situ Jing calmly.

"After all, I have the princess to help me. My princess is the heir of the Zhenbei Palace. Looking at the world, although she is a woman, she is no less capable than a man!"

"Of course I feel at ease with you around. How could I possibly let an outsider steal your limelight?"

My aunt, you really have to win this time. If you lose, all my previous efforts will be wasted!

Song Yuan looked at Situ Jing eagerly, and saw this old lady raised her eyebrows, obviously very satisfied with Song Yuan's performance.

Only then did I finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart. It is better if she is a little silly.

Just like Situ Jing, if nothing else, at least he is easy to fool!

If I really meet someone like Jinlian, I don’t know how much I would have to think about.

There's no point in playing tricks on your own people!

"Okay, let's hurry to the barracks!"

At that moment, Song Yuan waved his hand and led the people behind him to rush towards the mine where Huo Jianchuan was.

Thinking of the previous incident on the way, Song Yuan turned around and immediately gave instructions to the followers behind him.

"Everyone, listen carefully. This time, the eldest son of the Wei family took the initiative to show up and wanted to help us. Although we refused, no matter what, we must not spread the news of our meeting with him!"

"We had good intentions. If we get punished for this, we'll be so embarrassed!"

Seeing everyone nodding, Song Yuan finally felt relieved.

But half an hour later, they arrived at the mine that they had acquired before. From a distance, Song Yuan heard shouts of killing, which were so fierce that they could reach the sky!

Compared with the previous team of thousands of people, the current military camp is obviously much larger.

After Song Yuan became a prince, he once again had the qualifications to control a thousand palace soldiers, but this time, the deliverymen were directly selected from the Ministry of War.

The best soldiers were used to fill the vacancies under Song Yuan.

Seeing the spirit of these people at this moment, Song Yuan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

My own father is so good to me.

At least, since I came here, everything has been fine!

As for the past, let’s not talk about it for now. It has nothing to do with me. At least that guy before didn’t do very well!

Just because Song Youji appreciated him so much, Song Yuan felt guilty just thinking about his plan.

People are so loyal to us, yet we still want to rebel.

Are you still human?

However...if Song Youji can really stay in power for a long time, I don't necessarily have to rise up in rebellion. It's also okay to protect myself.

As for what happens next, no matter whether the third prince or the fourth prince seizes power, as long as the old man steps in, who can control him?

It's not a bad idea to rebel again when the time comes, but at least we should leave a good reputation, right?

"Huo Jianchuan, didn't you always brag about how brave you were before? Now an opportunity is right in front of you. It depends on whether you can seize it!"

Facing Huo Jianchuan, the old commander of the Huben Army, Song Yuan went straight to the point and explained the matters concerning the drill.

After hearing the last part, Huo Jianchuan immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, rest assured. After such a long period of training, each of our men is a crack soldier. No matter what opponent we face, we are confident that we can defeat them!"

"You have elite soldiers and generals under your command, but who among the generals in the imperial city is not a carefully selected warrior?" Situ Jing, who was standing aside, heard what Huo Jianchuan said and without any hesitation, he fought back immediately.

Huo Jianchuan opened his mouth with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

After hesitating for a long time, he immediately suggested: "If the prince and princess don't trust you, give me some time, and I will arrange for the troops to train!"

"Okay!" Song Yuan had already made up his mind to see what confidence Huo Jianchuan had after training his men for so long.

Seeing Huo Jianchuan take the initiative to propose, he nodded in agreement immediately.

Half an hour later, in the empty training ground, Huo Jianchuan led the troops, with two thousand men as a whole, unified dispatch, and various orders were in order.

But the coordination among the two thousand people in the crowd was obviously abnormal!

Song Yuan recognized them at a glance. They were clearly the people trained by Huo Jianchuan before, and the elite soldiers transferred by his father from the Ministry of War. They have not yet developed a tacit understanding!

"Stop, everyone stop!"

As the commander-in-chief, Song Yuan had just frowned when a discordant voice sounded beside him.

Situ Jing also noticed this abnormality, but compared to Song Yuan, this girl was more direct and interrupted everyone's actions with a wave of her hand!

"I didn't say stop, who dares to stop? Keep going, one by one!"

Song Yuan didn't give Situ Jing any face at all. Before Huo Jianchuan could make any move, he yelled!

"You..." Situ Jing, who was standing in front of him, turned around immediately after hearing what Song Yuan said and explained to Song Yuan angrily.

"Do you even understand what a drill is? These people are completely uncoordinated. What's the point of continuing the drill?"

"They can't even achieve basic unity. They're just a bunch of wimps on the battlefield!"

"It's not your turn to speak. Don't forget that I am the commander!" How could Song Yuan be gentle at all at this moment?

With just one sentence, he retorted to Situ Jing.

There is indeed a big problem with these two thousand soldiers, but Situ Jing overlooked one detail, which is time.

Those elite soldiers and generals from the Ministry of War were just withdrawn by my father. It has only been two days.

It's rare to be able to get to this level of coordination in just two days. This is not a problem, it's just a lack of time!

Compared with these details, the mistake made by Situ Jing is intolerable!

No matter in which team, no matter how many soldiers are under his command, at least in Song Yuan's opinion, a qualified leader will never allow a second voice to appear!

Since I am the commander-in-chief, I am the only one who can speak in the entire team.

If anyone shows up and starts making comments, it will only shake the morale of the troops in the end!

"Listen up, everyone! From now on, anyone who dares to shout or act loudly in this martial arts arena, besides me, will be dragged away and given thirty lashes!"

"Okay, okay!" Situ Jing was immediately furious when he heard this.

He crossed his arms over his chest, turned around and walked away silently, moving behind Song Yuan.

It wasn't until the martial arts performance was over that he started to complain indignantly: "You just said we are a family, don't you know what humility is?"

"Humility also depends on the situation. You should think about it carefully. I am the commander-in-chief. I haven't said anything yet. What right do you have to speak?" Song Yuan refused to give in this time.

"Besides, do you understand the cause and effect before criticizing others? Those discordant soldiers are just a matter of time. Don't forget, the emperor just transferred troops from the Ice Tribe yesterday. How long has it been since then?"

"What else do you want?"

When Situ Jing heard this, her face turned red and she was stunned.

It just so happened that Huo Jianchuan had finished the rehearsal and came forward. Realizing his mistake, Situ Jing was the first to explain.

"I'm sorry, Commander Huo, it was my mistake before. I didn't pay attention to the time. I hope you don't take it to heart!"

Situ Jing has a straightforward temper, but there is one good thing about it. If he really makes a mistake, he will admit it even in public.

Just for this reason, in Song Yuan's eyes, he is much better than other princes!

"No, Princess, you are joking!"

How could Huo Jianchuan withstand such a scene?

After all, what is the other party’s identity?

Others can apologize, but can you admit it yourself?

"Your Highness, thank you for your understanding. I promise that in seven days, I will be able to unite these two teams into one!"

Seven days...

Song Yuan believed in Huo Jianchuan's ability, but with the rehearsal just around the corner, time did not allow it.

Thinking about the current situation again, Song Yuan's eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea.

"Commander Huo, I think that instead of spending time to let everyone get used to each other, is it possible to just separate them?"

"When the time comes, we will each mobilize ourselves, and there will naturally be no need for coordination!"

"This way, we can be flexible and maybe catch our opponent off guard!"
