Chapter 12 A good plan to kill two birds with one stoneNot many people in the military camp knew that Ding Chen was the ninth prince. What's more, the Ninth Prince used the alias Ding Chen, so Li Sheng looked down on him even more and did not regard Ding Chen as a prince at all. Anyway, his Li family supports the sixth prince Ning Hong. Even if Ning Hong cannot sit on the throne of emperor in the future, Ning Hong is still a prince because of the status of his mother. I’m afraid that the Ninth Prince Ning Chen can’t even become a Duke. "Go ahead." Li Sheng stared at Wang Pei. Wang Pei said: "Brother Sheng, think about it, Ding Chen knows that he has no background and is weak and incompetent, so why does he dare to come to the front army for training?" Li Sheng frowned: "He was always pretending before?" Wang Pei nodded: "It's a strategy of keeping a low profile. Ding Chen wants to take advantage of this opportunity to build up his career and build up his own confidants and power. Otherwise, how can he be qualified to compete with other princes in the future?" Hearing this, Li Sheng sneered disdainfully: "Just based on him, he wants to compete with other princes. He thinks he is not dying fast enough." Wang Pei said: "No matter what, we must not let him take his cooks to the front army to fight against the demons and gain merit."
At this time, the young man in armor sitting beside him had his eyes twinkling, and suddenly smiled and said, "Master Sheng, actually we can do this. Let Ding Chen take his cooks to fight on the battlefield, but all the credit for the construction will be credited to you, Master Sheng." "In this way, you can get credit. Maybe one day you will encounter a powerful demon and Ding Chen will die. Then you can report to the Sixth Prince." Li Sheng and Wang Pei both looked at the young man, whose name was Mu Feng, and he was also one of the sons of the powerful in Kyoto. Wang Pei thought about it and couldn't help clapping his hands. He laughed and said, "Brother Mu is right! Kill two birds with one stone!" Li Sheng frowned. This was indeed a good plan. "He was a cook. Once he joined the front army, he would be a demon-suppressing soldier, not a fireman. How can the credit be transferred to this young master?" Mu Feng raised his lips and said, "Master Sheng, this is easy. The cook camp was originally under the jurisdiction of our fire army. We will organize a 50-man team of cooks for Ding Chen. We will not let them cook anymore. They will represent the fire army to fight against the demons on the battlefield." "This way, no one will say that our Fire Army is a coward. When the news gets back to Kyoto, His Majesty will surely reward you!" When Li Sheng heard this, he clapped his hands and cheered, "Mu Feng, you can do it!" He immediately asked someone to call the man in dark gold armor over. The man in dark gold armor is a lieutenant in the cook battalion, named Liao Zipeng. "Greetings, Captain Li!" Liao Zipeng looked respectful. Not only did Li Sheng hold a higher official position than him in the army, he was also the son of a powerful official in Kyoto. He had no other intentions except to curry favor with him. Li Sheng didn't waste time talking to Liao Zipeng and directly told him the plan of the three people just now. "The Cook Army?" Liao Zipeng opened his mouth and said, "Captain Li, aren't fifty people too few?" Li Sheng frowned. He also felt that fifty people were a bit shabby. At this time, Wang Pei sneered and said, "Then give him a hundred people." There are only a hundred people, and they can't accomplish anything. "Yes, I'll do it right away!" Liao Zipeng nodded.
Mu Feng stopped him and said, "Make room for them in the barracks so they can practice before going to the battlefield. Otherwise, word will get out that the firemen deliberately sent the cooks to die on the battlefield." "Yes!" Liao Zipeng nodded. …… After Chen Xian and his six companions buried the seven cooks, they returned to the camp to practice martial arts. Suddenly, Zhao Tong ran over and first asked about the situation of Cao Fang and Zhao Yu. Then he called Ding Chen away. In a large tent of the Cooks' Camp, Liao Zipeng sat at the upper seat, and next to him stood a young man in armor, who was the second lieutenant of the Cooks' Camp. The ranks in the army are captain, chief officer, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain... The captain of the harem is in charge of 15 people, the chief officer is in charge of 30 people, the second lieutenant is in charge of 100 people, the lieutenant is in charge of 300 people, and the captain is in charge of 1,000 people. Liao Zipeng was a lieutenant, the highest official in the cook camp. Of course, he also had to listen to the orders of the captain of the fire army. Ding Chen walked in and found that the second lieutenant in charge of him was also there. His eyes flashed slightly and his gaze fell on Liao Zipeng, and he snorted in his heart. I don't know what tricks that bastard Li Sheng will come up with next. "Ding Chen, have you reached the blood-moving realm?" Liao Zipeng asked directly. Ding Chen's eyes flashed coldly: "My Lord, bring blood into the door." "very good!" Liao Zipeng nodded and said, "Our cook camp is going to form a 100-man cook army. After three months of observation by this lieutenant, I have found that you and your brothers are all brave and good at fighting. I will now promote you to the rank of second lieutenant of the cook army. You will lead the 100-man cook army and train day and night. You will go to the battlefield in half a month to make contributions to the court." Hearing this, Ding Chen was stunned! Even though he wanted to make achievements before coming to Zhenyao Pass, why was he in the cook army? Couldn't he have joined the vanguard army? Besides, he had just entered the Blood Realm and he started to organize an army. Half a month later, he would go to the battlefield to fight monsters. This was tantamount to committing suicide! For a second lieutenant, the strength must be at least perfect blood moving or Chongyuan strength. "Lord Liao, what is the strength of the hundred cooks?" Ding Chen asked. Liao Zipeng's eyes flickered: "Blood Moving Realm strength!" The commander of Zhen Yaoguan has a strict rule that soldiers are not allowed to go to the battlefield to fight against demons unless they are at the Blood Moving Realm. Even Mr. Li dared not disobey this. "Subordinates take orders!" Ding Chen thought for a moment and then agreed. This may be his only chance to turn things around. If he doesn't agree, Li Sheng will suppress him and prevent him from going to the front army to make achievements. "Lieutenant Lu, take him to see the venue!"
Liao Zipeng didn't waste any time and asked Lieutenant Lu beside him to take Ding Chen away. Zhao Tong came back to his senses at this moment, and he asked in confusion: "Sir, don't you dislike Ding Chen?" He was a little confused. He sent Ding Chen and the others to die last night, so why was he promoted to second lieutenant today? A second lieutenant in the cook army is still a second lieutenant, and his rank is higher than his. Liao Zipeng snorted coldly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Go!" Zhao Tong frowned slightly, bowed and left the tent. …… Ding Chen walked into the tent with an expressionless face. When Wang Yan and others saw that something was wrong, they immediately surrounded them. Chen Xian also opened his eyes and looked. "Brother Ding, what's going on?" Wang Yan asked. Ding Chen sat on the bunk bed, glanced at Cao Fang and Zhao Yu who were still unconscious, took a deep breath and said, "It's good news, but also bad news." He immediately told him about Liao Zipeng asking him to discuss forming an army of cooks. "The Cook Army?" Everyone was stunned. There are vanguard troops in the camp, reserve troops and fire troops in the rear, so why should we form a cook army? Not wanting to give them identities, but wanting them to fight on the battlefield, this is clearly a trap! Wang Yan frowned and said, "Brother Ding, we must be being targeted!" Qin Fei and others also thought so, but when they thought about it carefully, they realized that they had not offended anyone by coming to Zhenyao Pass. Who will target them? Chen Xian sat cross-legged on the side without saying a word, but his eyes were fixed on Ding Chen. In his opinion, it was not them who were being targeted, but Ding Chen who was being targeted, and they were just implicated. Ding Chen sighed helplessly: "We only have half a month, time is running out, hurry up and pack up, carry Cao Fang and Zhao Yu, and move to the cooks' barracks immediately." (End of this chapter)
