Chapter 22: Life-saving Talisman (3)

All the generals stared at Lin Yi.

Shangguan Minghong also said to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi! If you really have an imperial edict, bring it out!"

Lin Yi glanced at the generals, and with a solemn expression he took out a small oilcloth bag from his arms. The oilcloth bag was wrapped tightly like a rice dumpling, which showed that the contents inside were precious.

Lin Yi opened the oilcloth bag and found a small brocade bundle inside.

Everyone was staring at the brocade wrap again.

The brocade pouch is made of yellow satin and is exquisitely made. There is also a coiled dragon embroidered on it. Others cannot see it, but the generals will know it is a royal thing at a glance.

Then Lin Yi took out a folded square piece of paper and a small seal from the brocade bundle.

Lin Yi carefully unfolded the paper and then showed the words on the paper to everyone.

There are four words written in small letters on the paper: Save your life.

There is also a seal below: Mr. 95.

Zhao Li shouted: "Haha, this... what kind of imperial edict is this? With these few words, I don't know who wrote it..."

Shangguan Minghong shouted to Zhao Li: "Shut up! I think you are tired of living!"

Lu Ba also sneered: "Dog meat cannot be put on the table. You don't know whether to live or die!"

Zhao Li shut his mouth and looked at Xiong Zhan with an innocent face, hoping that Xiong Zhan would make the decision for him.

But Xiong Zhan looked very strange at this moment.

Zhao Li was shocked, could this really be written by the emperor?

Lin Yi said: "General Shangguan Minghong, General Xiong, generals, many of you must have seen the emperor's handwriting. Is this the emperor's handwriting?"

All the generals who had seen the emperor's handwriting saw that the handwriting was indeed written by the emperor.

As for the seal, it goes without saying.

Who in the world dares to be called the Supreme Being of the Nine-Five Years?

Only the emperor is here.

But the generals were still unwilling.

Some even questioned whether the imperial edict was given to others by the emperor and was obtained by Lin Yi.

Shangguan Minghong opened his mouth and said: "Lin Yi, this is indeed the emperor's handwriting. Is this what the emperor gave you when you first met the emperor?"

Lin Yi said: "Exactly."

Shangguan Minghong also heard that the emperor had given Lin Yi a tips bag, but he didn't expect it to be a handwriting of Bao Lin Yi's life. There was also a seal of the emperor as a certificate.

No wonder Lin Yi said he had a way to save his life.

Shangguan Minghong also saw that the generals were unwilling to give in, and he added: "But I have to see if your seal is really the seal of the Nine-Five-Year Plan."

Lin Yi handed the seal to Shangguan Minghong.

Shangguan Minghong took it and looked at it carefully, then handed the seal to Xiong Zhan.

Xiong Zhan also looked carefully and found that it was indeed the Emperor's Ninth Five-Year Plan seal.

Shangguan Minghong put away the seal and said: "This seal of Mr. Nine-Five is also the emperor's seal. The Emperor has nine seals. This Mr. Nine-Five's seal is one of them. Sometimes the Emperor Yaxing will do it when he comes.

Poems and paintings sometimes use this seal..."

What Shangguan Minghong said in such detail was actually meant for the soldiers in the hall to listen to.

Let them know that the things Lin Yi has in his hands are genuine.

Upon hearing this, the generals understood that the emperor's handwriting and seal were indeed awarded to Lin Yi.

Shangguan Minghong said: "As for this seal, you have committed a serious crime now. I will take it first."

It was confirmed that what Lin Yi said was true, and Zhao Li was immediately dumbfounded.

Zhao Li said as if talking to himself: "Could it be that General Feng's death was in vain..."

"Of course not!"

Yong Zhan and Yuan Hui said this almost at the same time.

When Zhao Li heard this, he became hopeful again.

Xiong Zhan stared at Lin Yi and said coldly: "Lin Yi! This is just the emperor's handwriting! It has not been recorded by the court and has no seal! No matter why the emperor gave you the handwriting in the first place, the emperor would never have thought that you would kill General Feng.

So you want to use the handwriting as an imperial edict to avoid sin and escape from your delusions!"

After Shangguan Minghong and Lu Ba heard this, they looked at each other and remained silent.

What Xiong Zhan said is also justified.

After all, he is a third-grade general.

Very clear about these.

Handwriting cannot be used as law.

Moreover, almost all of Xiong Zhan's people inside and outside now obey Xiong Zhan's orders. There are only a few of them, and Shangguan Minghong does not dare to speak for Lin Yi rashly at this critical moment.

If Feng Liancheng's subordinates were so angry that they jumped over the wall, the consequences would be disastrous.

It is not uncommon for a general to be rejected by a foreign monarch and to behead first and report later.

Now the only thing to do is to stabilize this group of people.

Let them calm down.

Lin Yi said to Xiong Zhan: "It turns out that the handwriting and the imperial edict are different. I confused it. So, General Xiong, although it is not an imperial edict, it is a handwriting written by the emperor. The emperor said that I will save my life. Can I save my life? Your Majesty.

Does this handwriting work?"

Although it is not an imperial edict, it is a handwriting of the emperor after all.

It represents the emperor's will.

Of course, Xiong Zhan couldn't say it didn't work. This would be contempt for the Holy Will. Lin Yi's words were just digging a hole for him. But Xiong Zhan was a general of the imperial court after all, and he only knew the rules of the imperial court. He would not be easily fooled.

Xiong Zhan said: "Of course it works, it just saves your life temporarily. Humph! But if you want to let you go, then don't have this dream!"

Lin Yi said: "What does General Xiong want to do?"

Xiong Zhan still had a look of hatred on his face, his eyes narrowed and he said: "Capture me! Send it to the capital, and ask the emperor to punish you! Or imprison you in Lucheng first, and ask the emperor to punish you. If the emperor orders you to be released, I will release you immediately."

Yes! If the emperor says to behead you, I will chop off your head as a sacrifice to General Feng!"

Yuan Hui also spoke, his tone obviously agitated.

"You can also capture him without restraint."

To capture him without restraint means that Lin Yi goes out to kill him at all costs.

This is exactly what Xiong Zhan and Zhao Li expected.

They had an excuse to kill Lin Yi.

At this moment, there were thousands of soldiers outside the hall, and the hall was completely surrounded. Lin Yi was trapped in the hall again, and it would be difficult for him to escape even with his extraordinary martial arts skills.

Of course Lin Yi would not be provoked.

But if he surrendered and was captured, the people in Feng Liancheng would definitely break their promise and kill him.

The best thing now is to escort him to the capital. The journey will be long and he will wait for an opportunity to escape.

At this time, a general entered the hall and squeezed beside Shangguan Minghong.

The general said loudly to Shangguan Minghong: "Report to General Shangguan, General Han Wei and General Wei are entering the city with 30,000 troops outside the city."

After hearing this, all the generals under Feng Liancheng immediately turned their attention to Shangguan Minghong. Feng Liancheng refused to let Shangguan Minghong and his troops enter the city. Now that the general had just died, Shangguan Minghong's troops entered the city. Some astute generals became suspicious.

Xiong Zhan said to Shangguan Minghong: "Shangguan Minghong, what do you mean?"

Shangguan Minghong also has to deal with it carefully and not let things get out of hand.

Shangguan Minghong said: "Generals, don't worry. It was Zhao Li who said that there are still many assassins from the Western Regions lurking in the city. When this happened, I was worried that the enemy would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so I ordered General Han to lead his troops into the city to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the city."

Xiong Zhan and other generals looked at Zhao Wei dissatisfied.

Zhao Li's face turned even darker after hearing this.

He originally said this as an excuse to guard against Shangguan Minghong and Lin Yidai, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Minghong would use this as an excuse to send troops into the city.

Apart from Feng Liancheng, Shangguan Minghong has the highest official position.

He is a second-grade general.

The generals were not in a position to aggressively question his true intentions.

With 30,000 troops entering the city, Shangguan Minghong was confident.

He said to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, since the emperor spared your life, I advise you to surrender and capture you. I will send you to the capital to let the emperor punish you."

Lu Ba said: "Just in time, tomorrow I will lead the 'Hundred Officials Army' squad to return to the court, and I will escort you to let the emperor decide."

Shangguan Minghong and Lu Ba moved the emperor out one after another, which also put invisible pressure on the generals present. Let them understand that the emperor has the final say on Lin Yi's life and death, not them.

Lin Yi said: "Since the two generals can guarantee that I will be sent to the capital, then I will capture you without any effort!"

After saying that, Lin Yi threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
