1310 The Moment of Atonement
When the young master who was "betrothed" by Lin Chi just returned to Yanfeng Palace, through Moliya's secret investigation, the mastermind behind the assassination was found out.
The vampire saint who completed the investigation notified Lin Chi that night.
When the assassination of the main hall of Yanfeng Palace failed the next day, everyone else left. Moliya also asked:
"Master, is it really good to just let the mastermind leave like this?"
Lin Chi still remembers his original answer: "It doesn't matter, I need him for the time being. In addition, I have other things to deal with."
The Minister of Finance he suspected at the beginning was just a timid slave to the money. The person who planned to assassinate the young master at that time was actually General Qin who seemed to be "loyal and brave"!
That day, General Qin attacked Zhao Luo in the hall because he planned to silence him on the spot and kill the assassin who might have revealed his identity.
As for why he assassinated the young master, the reason is actually very simple:
"At that time, I was just to keep Yanfeng City alive."
General Qin gritted his teeth tightly, but his voice was still calm: "At that time, you were just a useless foolish monarch."
"What are you talking about?" Shen Wenchong twisted his thigh hard, even wondering if he was dreaming: "How could that assassination be planned by you?"
"Sorry, Shen Wenchong." General Qin sighed: "The assassination plan is indeed done by himself."
"Then, what Ren You is doing..." Shen Wenchong's voice trembled.
"Yes." General Qin nodded: "I deliberately injured Ren You, just to weaken the strength of the guards and facilitate the subsequent assassination operations."
"You are... like this..."
Shen Wenchong's facial muscles kept twitching: "I thought you were that kind of open and upright soldier..."
Shen Wenchong, who was once a member of the Yanfeng Army, has always regarded General Qin as an idol. At this moment, the once tall and majestic image in his heart collapsed in an instant.
"I'm sorry, I was also for this land and the people who lived here."
When confessing his crime, General Qin did not look up at all, pressed his hands on the bloody land, and had no intention of pulling out his weapons. He calmly accepted the upcoming death:
"At that time, you either traveled around or stayed away from home, completely ignored political affairs. Under your rule, the decline of Yanfeng City exceeded my imagination."
"The wolf cavalry squad in Zhanshi City continues to invade our borders and plunder the resources in the city. However, our soldiers do not even have the power to resist. They are hungry and just picking up weapons is already the limit, and they have long lost the strength to fight."
"The intelligence agency was abandoned directly, and the soldiers stationed on the border began to defect, some of the hungry people left Yanfeng City, and the population in the territory began to lose."
Listening to General Qin's statement, Lin Chi did not speak. Shen Wenchong, who wanted to reprimand General Qin, could not speak at all:
Shen Wenchong could not be clear about the situation at that time. General Qin's statement was not false. After all, even Shen Wenchong himself had thought about whether to continue to protect such a young master.
"In order to save Yanfeng City from destruction, I had considered many methods at that time, but in the end I decided to end your rule by assassination and regain the rebirth of Yanfeng City."
Speaking of this, General Qin stood up again, with a pair of black eyes exposed on his helmet looking at Lin Chi without blinking, and there was no trace of confusion or fear at all:
"At that time, when I learned that you were still alive, I also considered assassination again. But after witnessing your later performance, I gave up on the assassination of you. Because you were like..."
"It's like 'changing someone', right?" Lin Chi smiled and said, "I've heard this kind of thing many times."
——Before he entered the game, the young master of Yanfeng City was indeed a useless "salted fish". In order to save Yanfeng City, which was close to the brink of collapse, General Qin chose to solve the problem in the most extreme way.
But now, things have also changed since the "New Lord" took office.
Although he was still the original person, the young master's way of doing things was completely opposite to before. Yanfeng City, which was about to die, was finally saved under a series of measures.
The young master spent three days to process all the backlog of documents. While saving Yanfeng City, he also regained the slums outside the city.
Although these measures consume a lot of food and supplies, as long as the war can be won, Zhanhen City will collapse. By then, Yanfeng City, which has been plundered by Zhanhen Wolf Cavalry, can in turn plunder a large amount of materials accumulated by the other party!
After witnessing the scene of the young master driving an ancient chariot to defeat the vanguard of the Warden Army, the last trace of suspicion in General Qin's heart also disappeared.
Now he is finally sure:
"You are an extremely good ruler, and I will never doubt you again."
General Qin said as he untied the sword from his waist and threw it out five meters away, completely disarmed himself, stood in front of the chariot and lowered his head slightly, and slowly closed his eyes:
"My crime of rebellion is unforgivable, and I almost ruined the lord who can make Yanfeng return to his glory. Let's do it, I will use my life to make up for the mistakes I made at the beginning."
Faced with the general who lost his weapons and was not prepared for any defense, Lin Chi and Shen Wenchong fell into silence again.
The assassination rulers attempted to usurp the throne. No matter what era it was, this crime was a serious crime that must be executed. In ancient times, it would be implicated in nine tribes, and the whole family would be killed completely.
However, Lin Chi also knew very well that what General Qin wanted to kill was the young master who had entered the game.
General Qin can be said to have a lot of trust in the current "young master". Otherwise, this guy would not have come to apologize.
"Um."
Looking at General Qin who bowed his head and said nothing, Lin Chi jumped out of the BTR chariot, picked up the short knife that General Qin threw aside, and quickly walked towards the mastermind behind the assassination.
"Young Master..."
Shen Wenchong wanted to say something, but couldn't continue.
The young master's footsteps moved behind him, as if he was preparing to behead his head. Faced with the impending death, General Qin clenched his fists and waited for the end to come.
Then, he heard the young master's crisp child voice sounded:
"You want to atone for sins, right?"
“…”
General Qin slowly turned around and happened to meet the young man's pretty face:
"Now it's my turn to test you. If you can lead the Yanfeng Army to defeat the War Seal Army, I can spare you. Let me see your abilities, General."
