Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 101 part 1

Chapter 101 The attack of the wolves at night (1)

Lin Qing sneered again and said to Chen Jin, “This Qiansui thinks that I have never failed you. Forget it if the officials at court scold me, but what reason do you have to be dissatisfied with me? Did I ever make things the slightest difficult for you? Although, it couldn’t be said that you treated this Qiansui indifferently ever since I came to the northwest, but it couldn’t be said that you treated be enthusiastically either, right? When have I been slighted like this by someone? But have I ever scolded you?”

“Qiansui…,” Chen Jin had nothing to say because everything Lin Qing said was the truth.

“You looked down on me, slighted me and even scolded me in secret. I can bear all of that only because I admire these people who can go into bloody battles and sacrifice their life for Great Liang.” Lin Qing sneered once and slowly got up from the chair. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, approached Chen Jin and said, “But your people actually wanted my life!”

The last sentence rang like thunder in Chen Jin’s ears. Chen Jin’s eyes widened in surprise and said in disbelief, “This is impossible. Without my command, they would never dare to do something like this!”

Chen Jin said angrily, “Lin Qing, I can tell you clearly that although my subordinates are a bit ambitious, but they absolutely wouldn’t dare to do such a daring thing. Your mere verbal statement cannot be taken as proof. If you want me to believe you, you must present the evidence!”

“Absolutely wouldn’t dare?” Lin Qing laughed again and said, “When the benefits are large enough, people can do anything for their greed and ambition. How do you know that your subordinates wouldn’t be tempted when someone give them enough benefits and even faced immense risk to pull chestnuts out of the fire?”

Lin Qing swept over him from the corners of his eyes and said leisurely, “Chen Jin, I believe that if the benefits are sufficient, it was even possible for them to turn their back on you, what do you say?”

Chen Jin still looked at him in disbelief. He resolutely thought that his subordinates would never do such a thing. Lin Qing looked at him mockingly, “General Chen, you are unexpectedly so naïve when looking at problems at your age. You firmly believe that your subordinates are loyal to you, then, I also believe that you are loyal to His Majesty. Then, tell me, if your subordinates have to choose between His Majesty and you, who would they choose?”

Chen Jin looked shocked at Lin Qing. Disbelief filled his eyes. Lin Qing understood what he meant. His eyes darkened and said impatiently, “It is not what you think. You also know that there are several people in the court who are nobler than you and me. If they use their influence to let your subordinates work for them, do you still think your subordinates will still be of one mind with you?”

 Chen Jin opened his mouth in astonishment and he was shocked. He wasn’t so sure now, because if it was for the people who could fight for that position, then, it was possible for them to do anything.

“The Xiongnu people who hunted me down were sturdy, but they didn’t reach the degree of majestic of the Xiongnu. Not only did they appear from behind us and the attacks they used were martial arts that was used customary in our Central Plains. Moreover, those moves are commonly seen in the army when attacking the enemy on the battlefield. So, what do think, my general Pingxi?”

Lin Qing’s effeminate voice was like it brought poison and made Chen Jin’s body chill all over. He only felt the chill. If someone really did this, this matter would be easy to investigate. So many people participated in it. It was impossible to cover this kind of thing up as long as one wanted to investigate. If Lin Qing truly investigated, then the heads of some people would be unable to be protected.

At this point, Chen Jin was truly stumped for words. Not only did he commit the crime of negligence of protection, but the people under him also committed this kind of thing as assassinating the supervisor of the army. How could he still ask Lin Qing for exoneration?

Lin Qing slowly walked away from Chen Jin. Why did he leave without saying anything?

He didn’t say exactly what he wanted to do with Chen Jin and only left coldly. No one could guess what he was thinking.

On the other side, Zhao Zimu almost went crazy again. After briefing Yue Yi’s group, she immediately slapped the horse and rushed towards the grassland.

What was all of this?!

Zhao Zimu originally came back to Lin Qing’s mansion with him, but something wasn’t right when she is waiting. Usually, as long as she came back, Ling Er would be like a cat who had smelled fish and rushed out to rub on her.

The strange thing was that she didn’t see Ling Er rush out as usual after waiting for a long time. She felt uneasy. After searching through the entire mansion and not finding her, Zhao Zimu began to inquire about her.

The moment she inquired, she found out that Ling Er had long set off in the direction from where she had just returned.

Was she going to deliver food?!

Zhao Zimu burned with anger. She immediately followed her traces. Half way, she happened to run into Ye Yiqiu. Seeing that Zhao Zimu didn’t even greet him, he also jumped on his horse and followed.

Until when the two rushed into the grassland did Ye Yiqiu became dumbstruck. She should’ve called him and the Ye clan’s people to go together to such a place!

It was too dangerous going with only the two of them!
