Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 89 part 1

Chapter 89 That piece of sky is burning (1)

The soldiers of the Forbidden City were stunned. What did it have to do with them if Lin Qing doesn’t come back? It was his own decision to take around thousand people to go to Sha City. What did this incident have to do with them? Besides, it was well-known that the Xiongnu would appear from time to time at the border here. How could the court blame them if something happens to Lin Qing because of this?

Zhao Zimu looked at the soldiers of the Forbidden City. These people had been drawn out from the three troops of the Imperial Army. Aside from the thousand people that were taken away by Lin Qing, they still had four thousand people left.

She walked slowly in front of them. Her voice was cold and authentic, “I know your thoughts, but you are different from the soldiers of the northwest. You are from the imperial court and you were selected by His Majesty to protect Jiu Qiansui. Your main task is not to fight and kill the enemy. Instead, it is to protect Jiu Qiansui! But now, where is the person you are sent to protect? He is on the grassland! Under the sword of the Xiongnu!”

Zhao Zimu’s angry roar spread throughout the military ground where the four thousand imperial soldiers were standing and hit their heart like a hammer, causing their bodies to tremble.

“Qiansui is high-ranked and powerful. If he dies, how do you think you should explain to the court and to His Majesty? Oh, you all probably know what kind of person Lord Qiansui is. You are the imperial soldiers closest to the emperor. There is no reason that you don’t know that the officials don’t like him. However, have you ever thought about why Lord Qiansui could be an official? That is because the emperor of my Great Liang trusts him!”

Zhao Zimu’s gaze shot into everyone’s heart like biting ice, making everyone cold. Looking at the soldiers who seemed to be in cold winter, Zhao Zimu continued, “If he dies, maybe the entire court will be secretly rejoicing, but what about the emperor? Who will calm the anger of the son of heaven? It’s you! The fury of the son of heaven would lead to a thousand miles of bloodshed! Do you still feel indifferent now?”

Zhao Zimu’s last words floated across everyone’s ears. Many guards who didn’t panic at first began to show panic in their eyes and their bodies trembled slightly. Both hands hold the sword or javelin tightly in their hands.

They didn’t expect that what they thought wouldn’t condemn them would actually kill them!

Many people began to stare fixedly at Zhao Zimu with panic and hope in their eyes that they didn’t even know about, because they knew that the person in front of them was Lin Qing’s number one favorite subject. She told them so much now must be because she wanted to do something and this something must be related to Lin Qing.

Ignoring their hopes, Zhao Zimu slowly walked to the middle. Her voice was as sharp as a blade, “Lord Qiansui had been forced into the grassland and had disappeared. Along with him is a thousand comrades who fought side by side with you. These people who went through life and death with you are your closest comrades. Could it be that you don’t want to save them and want to watch them die?!”

Hearing this, the eyes of some soldiers began to redden and their breathing became heavier. They were men who were made from blood and flesh and have feelings. Those brothers who had fought alongside them most closely were in trouble, how could they not want to save them?

Therefore, everyone looked at Zhao Zimu firmly. Not because of anything else, just for their comrades.

Zhao Zimu paused for a moment and looked at Zhang Xin who was standing at a side. Then, she quickly retrieved her gaze and slowly said, “Originally, it was difficult for you to have a chance to do a meritorious service this time. However, now Lord Qiansui is in danger, so, your chance came! Are you willing to follow me to save Lord Qiansui?! Are you willing to go with me and show off to the Xiongnu on the grassland?! Let them see that the sons of my Great Liang are also brave! Do you dare?!”

With Zhao Zimu’s hoarse roar, the breathing of all soldiers became heavier.

Not mentioning how they would be punished by His Majesty if something happened to Jiu Qiansui, they couldn’t not save their companions who were forced into the grassland. From the conscience, if they disregarded the life and death or their companions, they would be unable to pass their own hurdle in their hearts. After all, they were brothers who had fought alongside them!

Moreover, if they were fortunate enough to save Lord Qiansui, then, the court wouldn’t be able to punish them and this may even be a great service! Perhaps, not only would they be faultless, they would also be doing a meritorious service. What’s more, if Lord Qiansui remembers them, then promotion and fortune were just around the corner!

Zhang Xin immediately cupped his hands, lowered his head and said, “This general is willing to go with sir to rescue Lord Qiansui!”

All the soldiers said with bloodshot eyes, “We dare! We dare! We dare! We would like to go with sir to rescue Lord Qiansui!”

The passionate voices pierced the sky above her head loudly. Zhao Zimu lowered her eyes gently and said in a cold and flat voice, “Set off!”

“Yes!” The soldiers turned their horses and immediately said in unison. The group of soldiers followed Zhao Zimu outside of Sha City without anyone knowing. They passed several guards and went into the direction of the grassland.

The five thousand imperial soldiers of the Forbidden City were not under the jurisdiction of the northwest army. They were specially assigned to Lin Qing by the emperor. No one could stop from wherever they wanted to go. Hence, no one stopped Zhao Zimu when she ran out with the four thousand soldiers of the Forbidden City.

They all thought that it was led by Zhang Xin. After Chen Jin got to know, he didn’t mind and just sighed.

These soldiers went because of their life. He didn’t intend to obstruct them. Chen Jin knew that if they didn’t do this, they may be killed by the emperor to ease his anger or maybe there would be some other punishment. It was just that they were too reckless. How many would be able to come back after this?
