"Do you have any concrete evidence for what Old General said?" The Southern Summer King finally understood why Dongfang Zhan crippled his left arm and Nangong Martyr turned a blind eye to it.
After a moment of silence, Nangong Martyr shook his head and said, "I don't have any evidence."
"Since you don't have any evidence, don't jump to conclusions," the Southern Summer King said in a low voice.
"But Your Majesty …" Nangong Martyr still wanted to say something.
However, he was interrupted by the Southern Summer King impatiently, "Alright, Old General, I can understand your worries. However, Dongfang Zhan's contributions to the Southern Summer over the past ten years are obvious to all. I believe he isn't the kind of person you're talking about. "
"Moreover, Old General is already old and will return to the earth sooner or later. After Old General, the position of frontline commander must be replaced by someone else. If I don't use Dongfang Zhan, who else can I use? "
The frontline commander was the most powerful general in the frontline and was responsible for the safety of the entire frontier fortress.
This position in the Southern Summer army was second only to the Grand Marshal and the Guardian Emperor. It could be said that it was a position that concerned the entire Southern Summer.
In the past fifty years, it was Nangong Martyr, the founding general, who held this important position.
However, he was already a hundred years old and would probably be buried in peace in another ten years. At that time, the frontline would need a new commander. Otherwise, the frontier fortress would fall into a chaotic situation without anyone to oversee it.
Among the ten Guardian Generals, Dongfang Zhan's strength and strategy were second only to Nangong Martyr, so he was the best candidate to inherit this position.
Hearing the Southern Summer King's words, Nangong Martyr sighed helplessly, "This is what I'm most worried about. There is no one among the current Guardian Generals who is qualified to be the frontline commander. Dongfang Zhan is indeed a rare and outstanding general, but … "
The Southern Summer King waved his hand and said, "Old General is thinking too much. Dongfang Zhan is both brave and intelligent. Now that the Southern Summer is in need of manpower, how can I not use him?"
Nangong wanted to say something but hesitated.
However, the Southern Summer King didn't give him a chance to speak. "Alright, Old General, I am a bit tired. Old General, you should also rest early. Tomorrow, you will accompany me to inspect the fortress. If there's anything, we can talk about it after the inspection. "
After saying this, the Southern Summer King left the observation tower, leaving behind the aged figure of Nangong, who had died for his country.
…
When the Southern Summer King returned to the main base, he discovered that his beloved daughter, Nangong Yan, was actually discussing astronomy with Lin Yun. The two of them seemed to be having a lot in common.
Even when Lin Yun said some professional terms, Nangong Yan would reveal an ecstatic smile, as if she was a young girl who had heard the words of love.
Seeing this unexpected scene, the Southern Summer King was very surprised.
As her father, he was very clear about Nangong Yan's personality.
Although Nangong Yan didn't have the airs of a princess, she had an arrogance that came from deep within her bones. This was an innate arrogance that allowed her to keep people at a distance of a thousand miles.
Coupled with her identity as a princess, she had completely lost the opportunity to make friends.
Everyone held her in the palm of their hands, respected her, and obeyed her orders obediently. No one would treat her as a friend, and no one would tell her the truth.
As time passed, she became more and more aloof. She almost didn't talk to people of the same age, and she didn't reveal any emotions.
But now, in front of Lin Yun, she became very easygoing, and even revealed a rare smile.
Seeing his daughter reveal an ecstatic smile in front of Lin Yun, the Southern Summer King felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He suddenly had an absurd thought.
Not only did Lin Yun awaken a Heaven ranked martial soul, but he also had the Demonic Dragon's bloodline. His talent and strength were shocking, and he could be said to be an unprecedented genius in the history of the Southern Summer.
Was there anyone more suitable than him to be the emperor's son-in-law?
When the Southern Summer King first had this thought, he felt that it was absurd. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it wasn't absurd at all. Instead, it was something that was worth considering.
Especially the Demonic Dragon's bloodline in Lin Yun's body. If Nangong Yan were to get together with him, then the next generation would definitely inherit this bloodline.
As he thought about this, the Southern Summer King felt that only Lin Yun was worthy of being the emperor's son-in-law of the Southern Summer.
"Let's stop here for today, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow," After finishing the last topic for Nangong Yan, Lin Yun's gaze fell on the Southern Summer King.
However, Nangong Yan was reluctant to leave, so she asked, "Can you answer one more question of mine? I want to know if a celestial body with a large enough mass will collapse due to its own gravitational force after its fuel is exhausted, ultimately forming a dark hole. "
"Alright, be obedient. I still have important matters of the country to discuss with your father. I'll answer your question tomorrow," Lin Yun said to Nangong Yan in a bad mood, as if he was coaxing a mischievous child.
Hearing Lin Yun talk about important matters of the country, although Nangong Yan was very anxious, she could only purse her lips and tactfully leave the room. Before she left, she didn't forget to say to Lin Yun, "You have to keep your word. I'll wait for you tomorrow."
After Nangong Yan left, only Lin Yun and the Southern Summer King were left in the room.
Only then did Lin Yun walk in front of the Southern Summer King and say, "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."
"What's so urgent?" The Southern Summer King was a little surprised. Lin Yun usually didn't take the initiative to talk to him, so it must be something important.
"There's a problem with Dongfang Zhan." Lin Yun's six short words caused the Southern Summer King's expression to change.
Just now, Nangong had sacrificed himself for the country to find him to tell him about this matter. And now, Lin Yun had actually looked for him to tell him about this matter.
Two people who had never met before had actually determined that there was a problem with Dongfang Zhan on the same day.
"What problem? Tell me," the Southern Summer King asked.
Lin Yun said expressionlessly, "Today, he crippled his own arm in the conference room, so he clearly had an ulterior motive. In my opinion, that was a deliberate act of self-injury to gain your trust. "
"In addition, the matter of his deputy general committing treason was only his one-sided statement. The truth might not be as such."
The Southern Summer King was puzzled and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Lin Yun slowly walked to the side of the Southern Summer King and said, "I don't understand this person very well, but I can tell from his expression that he is a scheming person with great ambitions and ambitions. This kind of person must be used cautiously."
"That's all I want to say. As for how to decide, it's up to Your Majesty."
After Lin Yun finished speaking, he walked past the Southern Summer King and slowly walked out of the room, leaving the Southern Summer King standing there alone in deep thought.
…
The night passed uneventfully.
…
The next morning.
The sky had just started to brighten when a large number of objects suddenly appeared on the northern horizon of the stronghold. They were like a black wave that was sweeping toward the stronghold.
As the distance between them was continuously shortened, the black wave that was like a tide gradually became clearer. It was actually a powerful army that was galloping at an extremely fast speed.
