Pandragon, Baiyang palace, assembly hall.

Su Cheng tightened his lips and stood in a corner of the conference hall, clenching his fists. Because he was too hard, his fingernails deeply pierced into the palm of his hand. Even so, he still couldn't control the slight trembling of his hands.

I took a few deep breaths, but it was still useless. I couldn't make my heart beat wildly because of too much tension back to its usual speed.

At the same time, I didn't order my hands and feet to stop shaking.

Nervous, so nervous!

This is Su Cheng's current state of mind. He feels his heart is beating fast now, and his hands and feet can't help shaking slightly, even he still feels a little sick.

Because after a while, according to his answer, his life will change greatly.

After his majesty called him yesterday morning, without any greetings, he directly asked him if he was willing to take 5000 soldiers to pacify the 30000 rebels who had not been pacified for a month and a half. His majesty also gave him nearly a day to think about it. It's okay if he didn't want to take the task. He can still be Ilsa's teacher when the general assembly opens tomorrow morning, He's about to say his choice.

Now, when his majesty comes down, he has to give his majesty an answer.

Is to take this task! Still don't answer!

Su Cheng has been thinking about the present since yesterday, so he didn't sleep all night last night. He has been thinking of it and hasn't come up with a reply.

Su Cheng is not the only one in the conference hall. The conference hall is now full of people.

The long red carpet in the middle of the conference hall separates the left and right sides. The left and right sides of the red carpet are full of people, and only the middle is empty. The civil servants stood on the left side of the council chamber, while the military officials, that is, the knights, stood on the right side of the council chamber.

On the left side of the assembly hall are almost all middle-aged and old people. There are basically no young people, and their temperament is more elegant.

On the right side of the assembly hall, there are many young and middle-aged people, basically no old people, and their temperament is masculine.

This is the practice of the British Empire. When the emperor wants to hold a big meeting in the Council hall, civil servants and knights stand separately. Civil servants generally stand on the left side of the Council hall, while Knights stand on the right side of the Council hall.

Today is not only the day for Su Cheng to reply to the emperor, but also the day for a big meeting.

This makes Su Cheng more nervous now. I will reply to the emperor in full view later.

In addition to being nervous, Su Cheng has more emotions in his heart.

There is anxiety, excitement, confusion and panic

Since his majesty had not come and the general meeting had not begun, the people in the Council hall gathered in twos and threes to chat.

Su Cheng can hear some other people's conversations, and many people are talking about him.

"He is Su Cheng. He looks a little like a prairie man."

"Your Majesty is really reckless. How can a person who has never joined the army directly lead the army of 5000 people, and still fight less and more, and fight 30000 with 5000, with a force gap of 1:6. It's enough even for fanlan knights and four Royal Knights."

"It is said that it was not his Majesty's idea, but master Jacob's idea."

"What did Jacob do?"

"Although he is a teacher who specializes in teaching the art of war, that doesn't mean he will lead the army."

"Hum, why don't you let me wait for the knight? How can we say that our knights are promoted by military skills, and let a civilian without war experience command them? That's not to let the 5000 army die in vain. "

……

All kinds of voices from around fell into Su Cheng's ears, making Su Cheng more nervous and afraid.

Just then, he suddenly felt dark in front of him. He looked up and saw a handsome man standing in front of him. The man looked about his age, but his face was full of pride.

"Are you Su Cheng?" The man asked.

"Ah, yes, I am." Su Cheng tried to suppress the trembling of his voice.

"I'm enly hunter, a knight of the double oaks, belonging to the order of Gabriel." The man said in a proud tone, "I've heard general Iser mention you before that you have a rare military talent."

"However, my point of view is the same as Eliza. You have never led a soldier, and you have never entered the army. You only talk about the art of war. How can a person like you lead the army? If you know the truth, you refuse this mission. Don't harm the names of those 5000 people in vain. Be a teacher. Your talent is just to be a teacher at most, If you want to fight in the future, you can start with a small soldier, and then slowly learn military skills and qualifications. It took me a long time to be promoted to Xingui knight, and then it took me a long time to be promoted to double oak knight. "

"Are you finished?" Su Cheng said in a deep voice, "if you're finished, can you go away?"

Enly hunt, Su Cheng also has an impression of this man.

He is an outstanding talent as famous as Eliza. He and Eliza are the two most outstanding young people in the Imperial Army and are known as the twin generals of the British Empire.

Seeing that Su Cheng didn't want to talk to himself anymore, enli glanced unhappily, and then returned to the front of the right side of the Council hall.

Ethel and Eliza are standing at the front of the right side of the Council hall. Ethel looked dignified, while Eliza looked as usual.

"What did you just do?" Eliza asked enley.

Enli is one year older than Eliza. She is 20 years old. When she was only 20, she became a double oak knight. At the same time, she has a good relationship with Eliza. They are good friends.

"Nothing. I just went to say hello to Su Cheng. It is suggested that he should not take the task, which has only killed the 5000 people. " Enly shrugged. "He's shaking all over now."

Eliza looks back at Su Cheng, who is shrinking in the corner. Although she is far away, Eliza, who has always had good eyesight, can clearly see that Su Cheng's hands and feet have been shaking slightly.

"As for being so nervous? If you are afraid, just refuse the task later. " There was a slight disdain on Eliza's face.

"That's enough," said Ethel beside Eliza. "Don't make fun of others, let alone despise others. If it were you, you would be so nervous and scared!"

After hearing her father's scolding, Eliza spit out her little tongue.

After a while, the bodyguard in the Council hall shouted:

"Your Majesty, come!"

Su Cheng took another deep breath.

coming! It's time to make a decision!

Su Cheng thought as he walked to the back of the knights on the right side of the Council hall, and everyone in the Council hall stood up.

Soon, Emperor gozeven and Jacob came in through the side door of the Council hall.

After sitting on the throne, Goze Wenlang said:

"Today is the day of the great conference. I have many questions to discuss with the ministers and knights present, but before that, I have to make sure one thing. Mr. Cheng! Please come forward! "

After hearing the emperor's call to him, Su Cheng took a deep breath again, then came out from behind the knights, and then slowly walked towards the center of the Council hall.

Su Cheng's hands and feet were still shaking slightly. Many people saw it. Su Cheng heard a lot of subtle laughter and ridicule.

But Su Cheng didn't have the leisure to mind so much. He bit his teeth and continued to walk slowly.

After arriving at the center of the conference hall, he knelt down slowly on one knee, clenched his right hand into a fist, put his fist face against the ground, and lowered his head deeply.

"How did you think about the task I told you yesterday?" Ge zewen said faintly, "are you willing to lead 5000 troops to calm the 30000 rebel troops?"

Jacob beside Goze's tattoo also looked expressionless at Su Cheng kneeling on one knee.

Ethel, standing in front of the right side of the Council hall, looked at Su Cheng with a dignified face.

Eliza, enly and everyone present are also looking at Su Cheng kneeling in the middle.

All kinds of sight.

There is the sight of expectation, the sight of disdain, and the sight of plainness

I felt all kinds of eyes of everyone present gathered on my body. Su Cheng clenched his teeth and tightened his right hand.

Sure enough, you should refuse. Su Cheng said to himself in his heart.

There is a heated debate in Su Cheng's heart:

Originally, I was just a lover of military and art of war. I had read many books related to art of war and military on earth and was familiar with this aspect. The reason why I was selected as Ilsa's art of war teacher was only because I copied Sun Tzu's art of war. It's not how capable I am at all. I just have a good memory and am a copycat.

In the final analysis, I don't have any talent in war and military. Mr. Iser just read my copy of grandson's art of war and mistakenly thought I was very talented. I don't have any talent at all!

Rejecting this task has no loss to me. I can still be Ilsa's art of war teacher, still get a rich salary, and the future will be better and better.

If I take this task, I'll go to war. I'm likely to die in war. I don't want to die so soon!

But... This is a big opportunity. If I seize it, my future life will become

No, no, no! What am I thinking! No matter how big the opportunity is, you have to grasp it! Eliza and that enly are right. I just talk. How can I command an army of 5000 people if I haven't even joined the army!

Um! Refuse the task!

Then continue to be a relaxed, safe and well paid teacher!

Um! Refuse!

Continue to live a relaxed and safe life.

The job is just to teach Ilsa. It's easy and safe, and the salary is high.

Life will be better and better in the future.

Continue to live leisurely with Alan and them every day, living an ordinary but happy life.

Yes, an ordinary but happy life is enough for me.

Ordinary life

Yes... That's enough for me

Ordinary... Life

Enough

......

Su Cheng loosened his tight teeth and shouted. The loud voice startled everyone in the Council hall.

"Me! Willing to go to counter the rebellion!! Use these 5000 people to defeat 30000 rebels! "

Su Cheng's voice echoed in Nuo Da's conference hall.

Ethel slowly closed his eyes and whispered, "you're right, Jacob..."

Eliza and enly's eyes widened.

The literary ministers looked surprised.

The Knights frowned.

Jacob smiled happily and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "you are really not a person willing to be ordinary..."
