Chapter 88 If he dies, you all have to die (2)
At the present, among Chen Jin’s subordinates, only Sun Wu could be regarded as a talented person to lead the soldiers into battle. This person is brave and fierce and has some abilities to lead the soldiers. It was a pity that Chen Jin saw that this person doesn’t have a righteous mind and was too absorbed in fame and fortune. If the hundred thousand soldiers of the northwest were really handed over to him, sooner or later, the world would be turned upside down by him.
Hence, Chen Jin was anxious. He couldn’t be the commander of the northwest army forever and also couldn’t guard this land in the northwest of Great Liang forever. So, he must find someone who could replace him and support the sky of Great Liang and the northwest.
The kid of today was very interesting. At such a young age, he could point out in a few words the decay that was concealed in the gorgeous coat of victory. Regardless of his talents, this vision alone surpassed everyone. Perhaps…
Chen Jin silently raised his head and glanced at the dark sky of the northwest. Listening to the scorching and biting cold wind whistling by his ears, he continued to move forward with a steady pace.
Several generals behind him looked at the commander’s suddenly exhausted figure and exchanged a glance. Then, they continued to follow him. only Sun Wu showed a gleam in his eyes after everyone followed, and then he also followed.

On the third day after the celebration banquet, Zhao Zimu’s eyes suddenly began to jump non-stop. Suddenly, there was a deep anxiety in her heart and this anxiety came because of Lin Qing.
Lin Qing stayed in Li City. The news of their victory was also sent back on the same day. From the time they received the news, they would definitely be able to come over by tonight.
Because Lin Qing was a supervisor of the army, he would definitely pay close attention to this war between Great Liang and the Xiongnu. Lin Qing would definitely confirm the victory of the war, so, he would certainly rush to Sha City after receiving the good news. Not to mention that she was here. There was no reason for her to still not hear any news about him.
It didn’t take long for Zhao Zimu’s uneasiness to be confirmed. On the way to Sha City, Lin Qing was suddenly intercepted, attacked and forced out of the border of Great Liang by the Xiongnu. The whole camp was shocked when they received this news. All the soldiers in the northwest were in an uproar.
It turned out that after Lin Qing heard the news of the victory, in order to rush to Sha City as soon as possible, he dressed lightly, mounted a horse and rushed to Sha City with just over a thousand men. According to the speed, the team should’ve arrived the next day, but when it was getting dark the next day, a group of Xiongnu appeared suddenly from behind and attacked them. Furthermore, the amount of people from the Xiongnu were huge and they had been caught off guard. Also, the troops in the surrounding towns had all been summoned away. Even if they asked for help, there was no one who could rescue them.
Therefore, they could only retreat further and further until they were forced out of the border and into the grassland. There, was the world of the Xiongnu.
No one could believe the news when they got it. They revealed worried expressions, but there was no trace of panic. Chen Jin urgently called the generals to discuss how to rescue Lin Qing, but never came to a conclusion.
Lin Qing had already entered the grassland and no one knew his whereabouts. They also didn’t know if he had been captured by the Xiongnu, let alone whether he was dead or alive, how could they save him?
What was more, Great Liang’s combat power had always not been as good as the Xiongnu’s. if they really go into the grassland, in the words of the Xiongnu, it was like a lamb that had fallen into the arms of the wolf and waited to be eaten.
Even if the discussion was fruitless, Chen Jin still sent a few cavalries to search near the border of Great Liang and rescue Lin Qing because Lin Qing represented the court. If he didn’t care about Lin Qing’s life and death, he wouldn’t be able to give an explanation to the court.
So, they could only save Lin Qing, but they didn’t know if they could.
Although, some soldiers may not know Lin Qing, it was impossible for the high-ranking generals to not know such a person. This person did all kinds of evil and is sinister and cunning. Sometimes, he would deduct their military payment for no reason. Presumably, no general would wish for Lin Qing’s well-being.
Although, they didn’t dare to speak out some thoughts, it didn’t mean that they couldn’t do it privately.
Chen Jin silently took in the reactions of his subordinates and let them to what they liked without stopping them.
Chen Jin who was accustomed to fighting with the Xiongnu with his sword, also intended to see the will of the heaven this time…
When Yue Shi knelt in front of Zhao Zimu with a few wounds, Zhao Zimu’s expression immediately became cold. Her eyes stared at him silently like a pair of dark ice pools.
It wasn’t until Yue Shi wished to apologize for the offense with death that Zhao Zimu retracted her gaze. Only the pair of eyes was still frighteningly cold like icy blades.
She closed her eyes to let herself calm down a bit. After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes and said, “Gather all the remaining people of the imperial soldiers of the Forbidden City.”
Yue Shi immediately took the order and left with a body full of wounds. On the third day, the people of the imperial soldiers of the Forbidden City were summoned over by Yue Shi. They already knew what had happened yesterday. It was just that they didn’t know how to react to it.
Zhao Zimu stood in front of these people. These people knew her and knew that she is one of Lin Qing’s people. They also wanted to see what she had to say.
These few thousand people from the imperial soldiers of the Forbidden City were under Lin Qing’s command, but it would be very difficult for them to acknowledge someone else. Even if the person in front of them was the number one running dog of Lin Qing, she wouldn’t be an exception.
Zhao Zimu looked at them with a pair of unwavering eyes. Her gaze flickered across each soldier of the Forbidden City. When her gaze fell on Zhang Xin, it stopped for a while. Zhang Xin felt cold sweat on his forehead.
After Zhao Zimu’s gaze swept over everyone, she slowly opened her mouth, “I know what you are thinking in your hearts. I also know that you are not willing to go save Lin Qing, but I can tell you clearly that if Lin Qing dies, all the soldiers of the northwest cannot be blamed, but you can. If he dies, you all have to die!”
