Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 892 - 376: Mother, Let Me Give You Some of Junior Brother’s... Want It?
"Sir!" Households Commander Huang hastily spoke up, "Sir, you must have a way, right? Just one word from you, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
As he spoke, his eyes were already filled with despair.
He had originally thought that the person holding the Qin King Token was here to speak for King Qin, but unexpectedly, they had come to betray him.
But now, no matter what he says, it's too late. So many people have died, what hope do we have left?
Bastards!
They actually dragged us into betraying King Qin!
"Commander Song is one of my few friends. Now that things have come to this point, betrayal is the only way."
Households Commander Huang's expression stiffened, and he forced a smile, "Sir, what you say makes sense, but the families of us humble ones have all settled in Jiangde City..."
"Do we still have any way to survive?"
"No, we don't..."
"Then tell me, what can you do to regain King Qin's trust?" Lu Jin'an tapped the table, "Gather intelligence? Charge into battle? Or protect Lord Qin's safety?
Your very presence working in Jiangde City is a kind of favor from King Qin. Once His Highness ascends the throne, you may not have achievements but at least hard work. But now..."
Lu Jin'an sneered, "Not to mention that I've already killed people. Even if King Qin spares you considering you were coerced, will those eyeing your position let you off? You've already got no way out."
Households Commander Huang closed his eyes in despair, then heard Lu Jin'an speak leisurely again, "Of course, you have one way: take my head to King Qin and plead guilty. In that case, it's still a great achievement."
Households Commander Huang's eyes shot open. Yes, there's that option!
"Of course, that assumes you have the ability!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jin'an unhesitatingly released his Vigorous Force, and the Martial Saint's oppressive aura doused the restless thoughts of Huang and the others with a cold splash of water.
Households Commander Huang's expression shifted, and in the end, he kowtowed again, resoundingly, "We are at your command, Sir."
"That's more like it." Lu Jin'an stepped forward and patted Huang's head, "I admit, His Highness has granted us a lot of favors. No matter how we try, we can't repay such kindness. But from the moment she killed Commander Song on her own, our hearts grew cold!"
"His Highness is kind-hearted, but she aims to become the Emperor. The moment you gathered at the garrison, survival was out of the question. As for family... you must choose whether to die with them or leave alive."
"We pledge to leave with you, Sir!" Luo Yuan was the first to step forward, "The world is so vast, with you, a Martial Saint, leading us, how can we not have a path!?"
"Good." Lu Jin'an readily agreed, "We've followed King Qin for so many years. Now that Commander Song is exposed, the Crown Prince will surely not keep the Jinyi Guard. King Qin has also chilled our hearts. This Royal Family is not worth our allegiance!"
"What do you mean, Sir...?"
"Naturally, we start afresh!" Lu Jin'an said calmly, "The Dongfang Family has ruled long enough. With our Jinyi Guard's strength and other rebels, even if we can't seize the world, can't we at least secure a corner?
As for the future... after a hundred years, we'll leave our mark in history; we won't concern ourselves with future generations, will we?"
"We pledge to follow you everywhere, Sir!"
Luo Yuan, Ding Feng, and others immediately expressed their loyalty. Lu Jin'an desired this outcome. With those who already harbored dubious intentions towards Dongfang Xinglan, it would be easier to manage and possibly connect with the forces behind the likes of Luo Yuan and others.
In this way, the time needed to infiltrate Shengjing could be greatly reduced.
"And what about you?" Lu Jin'an looked at Households Commander Huang and the others.
Households Commander Huang gritted his teeth, "We are willing, but... how do we leave Jiangde City?"
Lu Jin'an said calmly, "At midnight tonight, we leave through the west gate. King Qin still trusts me for now. As for your families... King Qin certainly won't act promptly. Once we grow stronger, we'll have the leverage to negotiate with her."
"We will follow your arrangements, Sir."
"Alright, go make your preparations." Lu Jin'an stood and walked out of the courtyard, "It'd be best to bring those closely associated with you; otherwise, King Qin will eventually settle accounts."
"Understood!"
That night, at midnight.
Boom!
Blazing flames illuminated the west gate tower of Jiangde City. Amidst the loud crash of the collapsing city gate, Hong Ying, arriving on horseback, watched with a grim expression at Lu Jin'an hovering in mid-air.
"Why...?"
"A wise bird chooses a tree to nest, King Qin is not a wise lord, that's all."
Iron Hoof Cloud sped forth, and Lu Jin'an rode away with Zhiyu in his arms.
"Quickly send word to His Highness, this man has led the Jinyi Guard in rebellion!"
Hong Ying looked at Xu Wan with a steel-blue face, hands tightly gripping the reins.
Such a terrifying presence now stands opposite His Highness... what are we to do now? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
On a forest path east of Jianyuan State, Dongfang Xinglan looked at the letter brought by the Hawk, her eyelids slightly lowered. After replying to the letter, she increased her pace.
Her timeline was more urgent than Lu Jin'an's.
······
"Master, where are we going?"
On the back of Iron Hoof Cloud, Zhiyu looked up at Lu Jin'an with a face full of excitement, "Are we going to kill again?"
"Hmm?"
"Zhiyu thinks Master is so mighty~" Zhiyu spread her arms in admiration and longing, "I want to be like Master too, so mighty, so mighty."
Lu Jin'an chuckled, "Then Zhiyu must practice cultivation diligently. As long as Zhiyu gets stronger and stronger, others will have to heed your commands, understand?"
Zhiyu clenched her fists, her face full of determination, "Zhiyu will work hard!"
"Such a good girl~"
