Never forget the truth that a person reveals when he is angry - Soldier King: Nameless

The capital of the Dragon Kingdom - the imperial capital.
An ancient city with a history of more than a thousand years, a city with profound cultural and artistic heritage, is also one of the most prosperous cities in the Shenlong Kingdom.
Wuming, who entered the imperial capital for the first time, had no time to carefully observe the scene of the imperial capital, so he was taken to the largest soldier in the imperial capital and stopped.
On the day of checking in to the military station, the personnel who led Wuming into the military station told Wuming that Wuming could only stay in the military station before receiving the order. If he wanted to move his body, he could go to the backyard of the military station, where there were various ordnances that could be provided for him to train.
In the blink of an eye, a few days later, the outside world seemed to have forgotten Wuming's existence. Not only did it not come down without any orders, but Gree and the knights never came to see him again.
Wuming soon became familiar with this kind of life. He went to the canteen of the Bing Station for three meals a day. In order to prevent his body from rusting, he often went to the backyard to engage in activities.
After a few days of activity, no one of the other soldiers or low-level officers living in the military station knew this young man with extremely high combat quality.
If you shoot a target three hundred steps away, you can already be considered an archer in the army. Wuming can not only easily shoot a target, but also shoot a solid wooden target against each other.
Although Wuming had not started practicing the sword and spear, his flexible reaction immediately attracted the attention of many subordinate officers. Many officers even directly came to Wuming to ask the number of troops he belonged to. After hearing that Wuming was just a recruit, an officer immediately began to use his relationship, hoping to attract the best soldier in his own jurisdiction to listen to him.
You know, with the one-hand shooting alone, Wuming himself can be a huge crossbow that can be moved lightly. If such shooting skills are properly attacked on the battlefield, even the Sword Saint may die at his hands.
At noon, Wuming got up after lunch and came to the backyard. At this time, there were already many soldiers and officers waiting for him in the backyard. Appreciating Wuming's archery has become a pleasure for them.
When everyone thought of the sound of the arrow feathers that could only hear the sound of the arrow feathers breaking through the air, but could not see the trajectory of the arrow feathers clearly, they had hit the bull's eye. Everyone felt a strange satisfaction in their spirit.
"Wu Ming, pack up your things and follow me." The guard who brought Wu Ming to the military station appeared again a few days ago, temporarily interrupting Wu Ming's afternoon archery training.
Wuming took his longbow and left the station with the guards.
This was the second time Wuming used his eyes to watch the imperial capital outside the military station. However, he still couldn't see the prosperous city clearly, so he had already arrived in front of the inner city of the imperial capital.
There is a closed gate in the center of the tall red city wall, and there are two small gates on both sides of the gate, with soldiers guarding each side.
After passing through the small door, walking through the long stairs of three steps and five steps, Wuming entered a huge palace under the guidance of the guards.
"Report to Your Majesty, the soldier Wuming is here!" The guard shouted and said to Wuming in a low voice: "Remember to kneel down after entering, long live your mouth."
Wuming nodded, handed over his strong bow, hunting knife, solid iron bullet, thirty darts and two small flying axes, and walked alone into the hall where every step he took would echo.
The guard who confiscated the weapons looked at Wuming who was stepping into the hall and couldn't help but whisper: "Who is this? The entire moving arsenal."
"Long live my emperor." Wuming first gave a newly learned military salute to the emperor sitting in the center, and then knelt down with his legs.
Wuming, who did not understand the court etiquette, knelt there and looked up blankly at the Emperor of the Shenlong Kingdom sitting in the middle of the platform.
The emperor Zhao Wuji, who was sitting upright, was like Feiyan, not blonde and blue-eyed like Domotoki and others. Instead, he was like Wuming, with black hair and black eyes, but had a bit of majesty and fatigue in his expression.
"Bold! You dare to look up and look directly at Your Majesty!" A middle-aged man who looked like Domotoki came out of the ministers on both sides and shouted, "Don't you bow your head?"
"Forget it, he doesn't know too much etiquette." Emperor Zhao Wuji said with great interest: "First salute me, then I will be polite to me. This is the first time I have seen it, and it is quite novel. Can you tell me why I did this?"
"On the way to the imperial capital, Caomin heard the princess mention that His Majesty is not only a wise ruler, but also a commander who has personally gone to the battlefield many times to win. Caomin is a soldier, and he should naturally salute when he sees the commander." Wuming said in a humble manner, revealing incomparable sincerity in his language. However, he did not know that the emperor's so-called military achievements were exaggerated by others, and he was just confused that ordinary people like him who knew nothing were okay, otherwise how could there be turmoil in the country and more than one-third of the land be lost.
Zhao Wuji happened to be such an emperor who likes to listen to others praise him and praise him in every battle. Even though he has lost many battles, he still likes to listen to others' praises to him.
These ministers also know Zhao Wuji's fault. If you have any problems, you will praise Zhao Wuji's victory in every battle. However, Zhao Wuji is not a fool, and you can also hear the insincere words of these people when they speak and the serious flattery.
Although Wuming's words were not much different from those of these ministers' usual flattery, he was just sincere and had no intention of flattering Zhao Wuji.
As a result, Zhao Wuji felt a little relieved. The majestic expression on his face slowly smiled: "Just get up and talk."
The middle-aged man who looks quite like Domotoki is Domotoki's biological father. If he had followed his status in his usual manner, he would not have cared about Wuming's arrival and being granted this title. However, since he came back, Domotoki has been instilling in him that Wuming had insulted him, how Wuming despicable he stole merit, how he deceived the princess, and how Wuming saved his life several times.
After several days of indoctrination, Domotoki's father Domotogang planted the cognition of the unfair people in the morning. At this time, when he saw Zhao Wuji smile, he knew that he was going to suffer.
It happened that Wuming stood up as he spoke at this time. Domoto Gangyi stepped out again and said, "Your Majesty, this unruly man is calm, but he doesn't know how to thank you..."
"Soldier style, haha! This is the style of a soldier!" Zhao Wuji waved his hands and said with a smile: "Soldiers are the most straightforward. Isn't that the same in the army back then?"
When Domoto Gang heard that Zhao Wuji was talking about the issue of military personnel, he knew that if he was furious, he would not have any good results, so he immediately stopped talking and returned to the train.
"Wu Ming, I have read the military merit book and I have also heard the third princess tell you about you. This time I discovered the conspiracy that the thief was preparing to carry out is a great achievement." Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes happily and kept looking at Wu Ming.
The faces of Takaichi Domoto and the parents of other noble children who were standing beside him became ugly at this time. The military merit book could not be modified, and it was written on it. However, in the report among their children, Wuming was not only flattering in front of the princess, deceived the princess' trust, and made the princess write so much credit to Wuming, but this young man was almost useless.
Compared with the cunning and unruly people, the parents of these nobles naturally trust their children more. At this time, their children's credit was shamelessly snatched away, so how could these old nobles easily swallow this anger?
"Your Majesty, I can't figure out how a civilian who has no fighting spirit, no magic or ancient martial arts can kill a dragon knight, and how can he save the princess many times?" Domoto Katsuichi's speech immediately made many people standing on both sides discuss in a low voice.
Zhao Wuji also asked Wuming with interest: "I heard Yan'er say that your sword is unparalleled, and I also want to meet the mistress who has always been pretentious. Why do I praise you so much?"
"The problem of timing, coupled with the enemy's contempt." Wuming answered Zhao Wuji according to facts: "I heard that the princess once said that His Majesty defeated the strong and killed the dragon with his own hands. I believe His Majesty should be very clear about the process in the middle."
