In Yunzhou City, Lin Ye handed Master Qian over to the Yunzhou garrison and sent an elite team of more than a thousand people to Geling.
After he and Xin Yanque took a short rest in Yunzhou, they first went to see Zong Zheng Shiquan, who was imprisoned in Yunzhou.
When he saw Lin Ye again, Zong Zhengshi couldn't help but look at Lin Ye carefully.
He always felt that Lin Ye's current temperament was different from before, as if he was restrained after experiencing countless storms.
The last time I saw Lin Ye, Lin Ye still looked like a sharp-edged young man.
Nowadays, Zong Zheng Shiquan seems to have become accustomed to the life of a captive in Yunzhou, and his life is actually pretty good.
He lived in a separate small courtyard and was heavily guarded by soldiers. However, it seemed that the soldiers were not very hostile towards him and seemed to be used to his presence.
There are three wooden houses and the yard is not that big. If you want to eat fresh vegetables, you need to grow them yourself.
If he wants to eat meat, he needs to use his own labor in exchange.
He would go out to work every day, working with those who worked hard in Yunzhou to repair city walls, dig rivers, and organize nurseries.
Depending on how much he worked, his guardian would reward him accordingly. Sometimes it would be a river fish weighing one or two kilograms, and sometimes it would be a piece of plump pork.
If Lin Ye and Xin Yanque hadn't wanted to see him, he would have been working on the river embankment outside the city at this time.
If Lin Ye doesn't see him in Yunzhou City in a few days, he will have to work in the fields two hundred miles north of Yunzhou City.
"Are you going to attack Lou Fan?"
Zong Zhengshiquan asked Lin Ye in a calm tone: "If this were not the case, the general would not have time to come over.
look at me."
When an emperor has given up on calling himself me, then he has probably truly accepted his current fate.
"There's no rush."
Lin Ye pulled a chair over and sat down opposite Zong Zheng Shiquan.
"Let me tell you a story first."
"General, there is no need to call me Your Majesty anymore. Now Lou Fan should have a new emperor. I am just a prisoner. It would be better for General to just call me by my name."
Lin Ye said: "Even if I defeat Lou Fan in the future, I will be the Lou Fan who defeated His Majesty, not the two clowns Zong Zheng Lianhai and Zong Zheng Xianhe. If Lou Fan's national destiny ends here, it will be over."
At your Majesty’s place.”
Zong Zheng Shiquan gave a bitter smile: "I couldn't figure out for a moment whether the general was praising me or ridiculing me."
Lin Ye said: "The name of the King of Subjugation is indeed unpleasant, but who else besides you is worthy of the title of Emperor Loufan?"
Zong Zheng Shiquan shook his head slightly.
Lin Ye said: "Let's tell a story."
Zong Zheng Shiquan nodded: "I am all ears."
Lin Ye roughly told what he had experienced during this period, and it was obvious that Zong Zheng Shiquan didn't believe it at first.
The expression on his face ranged from amusement to confusion to shock. Finally, after hearing Lin Ye talk about Datian Mountain, only worry remained on his face.
Therefore, this is why Lin Ye said that only Zong Zhengshiquan was worthy of the status of Emperor Loufan.
If Zong Zheng Lianhai had listened to Lin Ye's words here, he would probably have thought that Lin Ye was here to entertain him.
If that prominent figure in the clan had been here to listen to Lin Ye's words... No, that reckless man probably wouldn't have heard Lin Ye's words before he started to curse.
Zong Zheng Shiquan
Asked: "So the general came to see me this time because he wanted to know about the Zhu Shen clan?"
He was so smart and could reveal everything at the first glance. Zong Zheng Shiquan had already guessed what Lin Ye was going to do without even asking Lin Ye directly.
There was no need for Lin Ye to ask, Zong Zheng Shiquan continued without waiting for an answer.
"The Zhu Shen Clan was indeed discovered in recent years. If I had noticed it earlier, I would have used it long ago."
Zong Zheng Shiquan recalled it for a while and then said seriously: "About the things about the Zhu Shen Clan, it was Lutai Mingyu who told me."
"Luotai Mingyu is the royal guard. In order to maintain their strength, the Luotai family sends people to various places in Loufan every year to find extremely talented children and bring them back for training. The Luotai inheritance is not really just the Luotai bloodline."
Lin Ye nodded, this is a very smart approach. Even if the Loutai family has a good bloodline inheritance, it is inevitable that there will still be gaps.
The Loufan Empire has existed for nearly a thousand years, and the Loutai family cannot always be prosperous.
We collect extremely talented children from all over Loufan, bring them back and train them, and give them the nature of towers. The children have been instilled with the idea of tower guardians since they were young, so there will be no problem with their loyalty.
Zong Zhengshiquan said: "To digress, in fact, Loutai Mingyu is not a bloodline of the Loutai family."
Lin Ye hummed.
Zong Zheng Shiquan continued: "The Loutai family discovered the Zhushen clan after I decided to lead the army to attack Dongbo, but at that time, the Loutai family did not report the matter immediately."
Lin Ye said: "The Luotai family wants to control the Zhu Shen clan privately, so that the Luotai family can be more sure to remain on the throne.
"
Zong Zhengshiquan said: "That's exactly what happened. After Loutai Mingyu learned the news, he went to see it personally and felt that although the Zhushen clan can be called natural warriors, they are not enough to be absorbed by the Loutai family."
"I have guessed that the bloodline of the Zhu Shen clan will affect the inheritance of the Loutai family. After final discussion, I reported it to me."
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "At that time, the southern expedition to Dongbo was over, and the millions of troops I personally led south were completely destroyed in your hands... After Lou Tai Mingyu reported the matter
, I was indeed happy for a while."
Lin Ye asked: "Has Loutai Mingyu ever mentioned how many clansmen there are in this Zhushen team?"
Zong Zhengshiquan said: "He said that the Zhu Shen clan has a total population of 30,000 to 50,000, but less than a thousand of them have undergone changes, and among these thousands, only half can be used as death warriors."
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "If tens of thousands of people from the Zhuan Divine Clan can be used by me, then the outcome of the battle is really uncertain."
Lin Ye did not deny it.
At that time, if tens of thousands of warriors of the Clan God suddenly appeared on the battlefield and were extremely powerful and capable of killing people, Dayu's frontier troops would definitely not be able to resist them.
Even if Lin Ye later cultivated bronze battle armor, the number could not be compared with that of the Zhu Shen Clan.
So far, there are less than fifty people in bronze armor protecting Xie Yunxi and his children.
"Are you going to massacre the Zhu Shen clan?"
Zong Zheng Shiquan asked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye nodded: "If necessary, we will naturally kill the clan."
Zong Zhengshiquan sighed: "You are indeed the person best suited to clean up this world. I really envy Xie
Fuwei, I can have a helper like you... If I could have someone like you in Loufan to help me, Loufan would not be like this."
He lamented: "There must be some people who are ruthless enough to kill people, and they won't dare to kill just because others say a few moral words."
Lin Ye said: "Morality has never condemned me. After all, I kill quickly."
Zong Zhengshiquan clapped his hands because of these words: "This is a very good thing to say. Kill quickly. Don't say that moral condemnation cannot catch up with you. Nothing can catch up with you."
He asked Lin Ye to get pen and paper and personally drew a map for Lin Ye.
"This map may not be so accurate. You can search according to the place I drew. After the last time Loutai Mingyu visited, it really frightened the Zhu Shen clan. Perhaps, after those who were warriors were exposed by Loutai Mingyu,
After Jade was taken away, the other clan members had already fled far away."
Lin Ye said: "Just look for it."
He cupped his fists towards Zong Zheng Shiquan, and Zong Zheng Shiquan stood up and returned the salute.
He didn't know why, but he actually didn't hate Lin Ye at all. Even if he felt that he should hate him, he couldn't bring up the hatred.
Just like Zong Zheng Shiquan's attitude towards the Supreme Saint, the two are rivals and mortal enemies, but when mentioning Xie Fuwei, Zong Zheng Shiquan still has to say two more words sincerely...
Convinced.
After leaving Zong Zheng Shiquan's small courtyard, Lin Ye looked back and saw that Zong Zheng Shiquan was already packing his things, including some farm tools and clothes, probably preparing to go to the fields.
Xin Yanque also saw it, so he sighed softly: "I didn't expect that he was already relieved."
Lin Ye smiled and shook his head and said: "No matter who is relieved, he will not be relieved, he just has to
He must get used to this kind of life, and if you give him a chance, he will definitely strive to make a comeback. If he can escape back to Loufan by chance, his method of killing Zongzheng Lianhai and Zongzheng Xianyou will definitely be more vicious than you and me."
These words made Xin Yanque look back again, and then asked: "So for such a person, the map he drew is really credible?"
Lin Ye said: "Don't expect him to be of any help when it comes to the conflict between the two countries, but you can trust him when it comes to designing the survival of the world."
Xin Yanque didn't understand, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he wasn't the one who had to worry about it, Lin Ye was.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Lin Ye is more suitable to become an emperor than Xin Yanque. Even if Xin Yanque is not a fool, or even a rare smart man, he still cannot trust his enemies.
But Xin Yanque felt that some of the sentences in Zong Zhengshi's complete words made sense.
Not everyone in the Yushen clan has mutated, so after those mutated ones were captured, the others should have run away long ago.
"We travel so far, it might take half a year to come back."
Xin Yanque sighed: "If we get nothing from this trip, it will really be a waste of time."
Lin Ye said as he walked: "It's safer to go and take a look."
Xin Yanque said: "Actually, you don't have to go there in person at all. You can arrange for someone to find them according to the map. If there are really no mutants left in the Zhuan Divine Clan, they won't have to massacre them all."
Lin Ye smiled but did not respond.
Xin Yanque followed Lin Ye and continued: "If I were you, I would rather rush back to Geling to see my wife and children."
Lin Ye said: "I want to, but I can't yet
.”
Xin Yanque asked: "Why? As I said just now, you don't need to go in person to do this. You can just select a group of experts. If you have no one available now, I can select people from Dongbo Shangyang Palace.
"
The forest leaves stopped.
He turned back to look at Xin Yanque and said, "Sir, did you just hear Zong Zheng Shiquan's evaluation of me?"
Xin Yanque said: "I heard that he said that you are a ruthless person who can be cruel, but I feel that you are not really such a person. You just can't help it..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ye interrupted him: "Sir, I am."
Xin Yanque was stunned.
Lin Ye said: "Sir, if you go, even if you see a mutated person in the Zhu Shen Clan, the most you can do is kill that mutated person. Anyone you choose, sir, will not be any different from the decision you made."
, only if I go, will I kill them all."
Xin Yanque didn't know what to say for a moment.
In fact, he really felt that Lin Ye was not the kind of person who would kill everyone just to avoid future troubles.
But today, Lin Ye told him personally...I am.
Lin Ye said: "I don't want to rely on any big principles to convince you sir. No one in Shangyang Palace can talk about the truth better than me. I just want to tell you sir, anything that may endanger my wife, children and children, I won't do anything about it."
We must kill them all, no matter how small it may be."
"It is true that not all members of the Zhushen Clan have mutated into dead warriors, but as long as there is still this possibility, none of them will be able to survive in my place."
Xin Yanque opened his mouth, but still didn't know what to say in response to Lin Ye.
At this moment Xin Yanque
Only then did he truly realize that Lin Ye was indeed more suitable to be an emperor than he was.
Lin Ye said: "Sir, I have always liked reading stories and novels. Have you ever seen such a sentence in a story..."
Lin Ye said slowly: "I would rather kill the wrong person..."
Xin Yanque immediately said: "That's enough! No need to say any more...just do as you say."
