Chapter 1459: Xiao Jingrui"s Order!
On the other side, Lin Yuelan asked Little Green to mobilize her friends to investigate Xiao Jingrui. After listening to Little Green"s story, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were silent for a moment.
Lin Yuelan said," It seems that the Second Prince of the Black Cloud Kingdom has a very miserable background. His situation is very similar to yours, Brother Nan.
"However, you are the son of the rightful wife, while he is the son of the wife"s maid.
"What about you? Your biological mother died, your stepmother framed you, and your biological father died. As for him, his biological mother had pa.s.sed away, and he was adopted by the empress. His biological father had protected his life. After that, he was framed by the empress again and again.
"It was strange that he could grow up safely like this!"
Jiang Zhennan nodded without denying it.
The reason why he could grow up safely was because he was the eldest son of the Jiang family and had the protection of Madame Jiang. Secondly, it was because of the nanny"s protection, and secondly, it was a coincidence that every time Jiang Yunfeng and his wife wanted to kill him, Jiang Zhenye would fall sick. Fourth, the Jiang family had few children.
In fact, the reason for everything was that the Jiang family"s descendants were numbered, which gave him a chance to survive.
But this Xiao Jingrui was different. Except for the Emperor"s decree, he had no one to protect him. He was alone.
Moreover, it seemed that the Emperor had saved him with a divine decree, but in reality, the Emperor did not pay much attention to him. Therefore, when the Emperor gradually forgot about the existence of this Second Prince, the Empress could use any excuse to secretly deal with him.
It was just that the Empress was too conceited. She thought that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d under her eyes could not cause any trouble, so she would rather disgust herself than get rid of him.
As a result, later on, when he had already become powerful, they could not touch him at all.
The empress was probably going to die of anger from him.
Xiao Jingrui and Jiang Zhennan had similar backgrounds. They were both miserable and bitter. Enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, they were both waiting to become someone powerful. Their experiences were similar. They were picked up by old men and became their disciples.
At the thought of this, Lin Yuelan smiled and said," Although you two have many similarities, you are a little different."
Jiang Zhennan asked curiously," What"s different?"
Lin Yuelan said, "You do whatever you want, fair and square, without shame to anyone, but he is obviously dark in his heart. In order to achieve his goal, he is unscrupulous!"
Little Green nodded repeatedly." Sister is right!"
Lin Yuelan asked Jiang Zhennan," When Xiao Jingrui was appointed as the Great General, you shouldn"t have been appointed as the Great General yet, right?"
Jiang Zhennan nodded." No."
Lin Yuelan asked curiously," How old were you at that time?"
"Seventeen and a half years old, not even eighteen years old!" Jiang Zhennan said," And a school soldier!" He was the Great General"s left hand.
He was made a great general at the age of eighteen.
"So, Xiao Jingrui should also be sixteen years old?"Lin Yuelan asked doubtfully. "Then have you guys fought before?"
"Yes!" Jiang Zhennan nodded and said," However, because of my limited power, I was unable to partic.i.p.ate in more military deployment and war strategies. Therefore, at that time, the Black Clouds Kingdom won more battles! After that, because my former Great General Yuan Bupo was seriously ill, His Majesty quickly promoted me to Great General. After that, the two of us were evenly matched!"
Lin Yuelan smiled and said," It seems like the two of you are really similar in everything!"
"However, later on, the Black Clouds Kingdom had a new Great General!"Jiang Zhennan said," With a new idiot general, we had won easily." His tone was filled with regret.
It was rare for him to meet an even opponent.
On the battlefield, Xiao Jingrui"s sudden retreat always made him feel a sense of regret.
Lin Yuelan guessed," Maybe Xiao Jingrui was unlucky to meet you as an opponent. On the battlefield, it is impossible to win every time, but his enemy immediately seized his defeat on the battlefield and made things difficult for him in front of the Emperor!"
Lin Yuelan"s guess was right. After Xiao Jingrui became the Great General, Jiang Zhennan was not the Great General at that time. Moreover, the former Great General of Longyan Country, Yuan Bupo, was a stubborn, arrogant and reckless man. He could not hear any suggestions or voices. He stubbornly insisted that all the generals listen to his command and fight head-on.
However, the opponent was a scheming and resourceful Xiao Jingrui. Therefore, Yuan Bupo failed several battles against Xiao Jingrui.
