Beauty and the Bodyguard

However, if there is a hidden danger in Heimei Commandery, Sima Yunqi would be a little worried about going on an expedition. It would be more appropriate to keep him in the royal capital to guard against emergencies in Heimei Commandery.

In this way, you can only choose a commander-in-chief from among the other sons or grandsons!

"Okay, this is what your opinions are about. There must be a battle with Selenium and Copper County! Even if we want to talk, we are hurting them and forcing them to take the initiative to talk!"

Sima Zhengxin patted the armrest of the chair, setting the tone for this matter: "Now you come to discuss who is more suitable to take charge of the expedition? Yun Qi is not among them, there are other tasks that need you to perform!"

Sima Yunqi was slightly startled, but he didn't ask any more questions and just bowed in response.

Sima Yunfei frowned and thought deeply. People around him were talking in low voices. In fact, they were just following what others said and had no opinions at all.

"Father, between sons and ministers, why not choose a handsome man from the other major families to lead the army? This battle is not easy to fight. If they take charge, our Sima family will have more room for maneuver."

Sima Yunfei thought for a while and then made such a suggestion, which made Sima Zhengxin's old face turn black with anger.

"You bastard, what are you thinking about? Do you think about defeat before winning?"

Sima Zhengxin almost pointed at Sima Yunfei's nose and yelled: "As the eldest son of the Sima family, do you still have any blood? Do you still have any backbone?"

"What does it mean to have more room for maneuver? Do you think that if this battle fails, they can take the blame? Then have you ever thought that if they lead the battle, they will lose some reputation if they lose, but what if they win?"

"Hongshang Commandery will change hands! The Sima family will lose their position as the leader of Hongshang Commandery. Do you think they will take the blame? They are eager to have this opportunity to take the blame!"

Sima Yunfei's face turned red. He was scolded in front of so many people in the Sima family. He really couldn't stand it!

"Father, please calm down, brother didn't mean that..."

Seeing the old man's shortness of breath, Sima Yunqi quickly gave a few words of advice: "Eldest brother may think that there are many handsome people in the other big families, so he doesn't avoid revenge when doing external things."

"never mind!"

Sima Zhengxin sighed softly and waved his hands feebly: "You have all lived too comfortably, and you have lost a bit of your blood! In the long run, what hope does the Sima family have? Sooner or later, it will be replaced by other families!"

Everyone was silent. This was a difficult topic to talk about, and it would not be flattering no matter how much I said it.

"Yunfei, you are the eldest son. This battle is not only related to the fate of Hongshang County, but also to the fate of our Sima family. If no one of us takes command, the royal family will inevitably change hands. Please say something to express your position! "

Sima Zhengxin was very disappointed with Sima Yunfei, but he still took some luck and wanted to see if he would realize his shame and become brave again, and suddenly he took the initiative.

It's a pity that Sima Yunfei doesn't know what shame is at all. He doesn't expect to win this war, so how can he die generously?

"Father, as the eldest son of the Sima family, I should have stepped forward and shouldered this important responsibility... Unfortunately, I have been ill recently. I often feel back pain and leg cramps, let alone go into battle. I can't even ride a horse if I'm an enemy..."

Sima Yunfei had a look of shame and embarrassment on his face, and tried his best to suppress his shameful expression: "My son, I really have more than enough ambition but not enough strength! With such a weak body, reluctantly leading the army will only deceive the elite of our Hongshang County. Then It is truly a sin that cannot be redeemed until death!"

All in all, all in all, Sima Yunfei will definitely not be able to go on an expedition, unless you don't care that the army will be casually destroyed!

Sima Zhengxin's face turned dark and gloomy. He really gave up on Sima Yunfei!

"Since Yun Fei is unwell and unable to lead the expedition, it's better for Zhong Xiao to go! As the eldest grandson of the Sima family, it's time to shoulder the burden of the family's rise and fall!"

Sima Zhongxiao was overjoyed. He did not think that he would lose this battle. Even if he did lose, it would be no big deal as long as he escaped safely!

Therefore, there is not much resistance to being able to take command and go on an expedition.

However, before Sima Zhongxiao had time to express his opinion, Sima Yunfei had already shook his head and waved his hand in rejection.

"No, no, no! Father, Zhong Xiao has always been polite and not too concerned about martial arts. Although his strength has reached the Nascent Soul stage, his combat effectiveness is not strong."

"If you lead an army on an expedition and are blindly arrogant, you may make very bad decisions... So I thought it would be better to find someone else to take charge!"

Sima Yunfei was completely shameless. In his opinion, going to war with the Selenium and Tongjun Country was basically a matter of life or death!

Even if he came back alive, he would be guilty of defeat. He didn't want to go, and of course he wouldn't let his precious son go!

Well...if it's Sima Zhongyi, that's okay.

If this concubine's son dies, he will die. If not him, even the old man will probably not agree.

Sima's family is dead, maybe Sima Zhongyi will have a chance to lead the expedition, right?

Sima Zhengxin almost laughed angrily, his eldest son was so shrewd!

It's a pity that he is only smart in these small things. He also doesn't think about it. If he doesn't seize the opportunity of such performance, why should he be appointed as the crown prince?

Just because of his dead mother?

Death is like a lamp going out, and the affection that should be there has been almost exhausted after so many years!

Being the eldest son is nothing!

"Yunfei, since you are confident, you probably have your own opinions on who should lead the army. How about you recommend someone?"

There was a sneer on Sima Zhengxin's lips. There was no fireworks in what he said, but in reality, he was already on the verge of bursting into flames!

"If the father said so, I really have a suitable person to recommend!"

Sima Yunfei didn't hear his father's dissatisfaction. He probably didn't care if he heard it. Anyway, he just wanted to die and not go on the expedition.

"Who is it? Tell me!"

"Father, this person is right in front of me. He is the son that my second brother just found, my good nephew Sima Zhongda!"

Sima Yunfei smiled and turned around, spreading his hands towards Lin Yi: "Of all the people present, except for the second brother, only Zhongda is the most suitable candidate!"

"Joke! Brother, why do you say that Zhongda is the most suitable candidate? In terms of age, he is not as good as Zhongxiao, and in terms of strength level, he is far inferior to Zhongxiao. Zhongxiao has received elite education from the royal family since he was a child, and has made great achievements in literature, Taoism and military strategy. Zhongxiao Where is Da? Daxiao is not with us..."

Sima Yunqi was furious, you finally wanted to send your son back to the front line?

If there really is a conflict, killing all your Sima Yunfei's sons won't be enough to compensate you!

"Second brother, don't get excited. As a brother, you don't recommend people randomly!"

Sima Yunfei waved his hand in a leisurely manner and interrupted Sima Yunqi: "Nephew Zhongda is amazingly powerful. He likes to do anything. He definitely has something to rely on. He must be like a fish in water when he joins the army."
