After Mr. Gu finished speaking, he looked at Lin Ye: "I can tell from your words and deeds that you are also a beautiful person. Why should a beautiful person embarrass a beautiful person?"
Lin Ye squatted down next to Mr. Gu and asked softly.
"What if I am a rebel?"
Mr. Gu's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Lin Ye said: "Does this sentence scare you?"
Mr. Gu said: "Do you know what you are talking nonsense? Everything the Emperor does is because of Dayu. If you ruin the Emperor's plan, let alone the Emperor or the court, Dayu's billions of people will not let you go.
you."
Lin Ye: "So what?"
He sat cross-legged opposite Mr. Gu and actually spoke in a particularly gentle tone.
He asked: "If the enemy you must kill is a villager, would you kill him?"
Mr. Gu didn't know what Lin Yewen meant, but he knew that if he didn't answer, he might die faster.
So he nodded: "Kill."
Lin Ye asked again: "If the enemy you must kill is a county magistrate, will you kill him?"
After Mr. Gu thought for a moment, he nodded: "Kill."
Lin Ye asked again: "If the enemy you must kill is a border official, will you kill him?"
Mr. Gu hesitated for a longer time this time, and then nodded: "If it is a blood feud, I will still kill him as long as there is a chance."
Lin Ye hummed: "What if it's the emperor?"
Mr. Gu stopped talking and just looked at Lin Ye with a very complicated look.
Lin Ye said: "If he is really the emperor, then I will be the number one rebel in the world."
After finishing speaking, Lin Ye stood up.
Mr. Gu said anxiously: "I'm not your enemy that you must kill. Why don't you let me go?"
Lin Ye: "If I let you go, will you let me go when you come back alive?"
Mr. Gu was stunned.
After a while, he said more urgently: "I see that you are not an unreasonable person. If there is really a blood feud, revenge will of course be done, but I am not your enemy. Please let me go. I will go away and never do it again."
How about going back to Dayu?"
Lin Ye said: "I am indeed a reasonable person."
A flash of joy flashed in Mr. Gu's eyes.
Lin Ye: "But I'm not a good person."
He put the antidote bottle on the ground: "I did the same thing last time. I gave the antidote and then let him choose whether to take it or not. He died."
Mr. Gu: "Then did he eat it?"
Lin Ye: "That was his choice and has nothing to do with you. It's your choice now."
After finishing speaking, Lin Ye turned around and left.
Mr. Gu looked at taking the bottle of medicine, the fear in his eyes gradually getting bigger.
It was a medicine bottle that couldn't move, but in his eyes, it turned into a brat with teeth and claws.
The bottle was there, he stretched out his hand, retracted it, stretched out his hand again, and retracted it again.
He felt the toxicity in his body, and after taking the first antidote, he clearly felt that the toxicity was easing.
At this time, it was probably almost half an hour since Lin Yewen spoke to him.
After a long silence, Mr. Gu finally did not touch the bottle of antidote.
He got up and walked out, feeling carefully as he walked, and then he was sure that the guy was lying to him.
There is no toxic effect in his body at this time. If he really takes the bottle of antidote, he will die immediately.
Mr. Gu smiled, and the upward curve of his mouth was a mockery of a young man wanting to play tricks on someone of his age.
When he reached the door, he looked back at the bottle again, then opened the door and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, there was a sudden pain in his heart, which made him twist in pain for a moment.
He wanted to turn around and go back immediately, but the pain was too fierce and too fast.
Mr. Gu fell to the ground and became silent for a moment.
There is really an antidote in that bottle.
But Mr. Gu is not dead.
When he woke up, he found that he was in a place with poor lighting and it seemed to be very small.
After a moment, he realized that he was in the tunnel.
There is an oil lamp hanging on the wall of the cave. From time to time, a slight breeze blows through the cave, and the oil lamp flickers, as if it is about to be blown out at any time.
Lin Ye was sitting opposite him with his eyes closed and he was meditating. When Mr. Gu saw the young man's beautiful face, his heart twitched.
"Guess, why didn't you die?"
Lin Ye, who had his eyes closed, suddenly asked.
Mr. Gu shook his head: "I don't know, but I should still thank you."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me."
Lin Ye opened his eyes, looked at Mr. Gu and asked, "When I arrested you, I took something on you without you noticing."
Mr. Gu immediately rummaged around on his body, and after a while he came to his senses.
It was a military badge, not something valuable, and he shouldn't have kept it. To be honest, he didn't know why he kept it.
"The military card of the cowardly army."
Lin Ye just looked straight at Mr. Gu.
He said: "Now you should understand why I want you to experience what it feels like to die."
Mr. Gu swallowed and said, "You...are you related to the Cowardly Army?"
Lin Ye: "Guess, why did I tell you that I might be a rebel?"
At this time, Mr. Gu's face, under the dim oil lamp, could be seen as white as snow.
Lin Ye asked: "How much do you know about the Cowardly Army back then?"
Mr. Gu: "I don't know anything."
Lin Ye: "It seems that I did it superfluously to let you experience what it feels like to die once, and it didn't scare you."
Mr. Gu immediately said: "I didn't lie to you, I really don't know anything."
Lin Ye stretched his hand forward, and Ransha swam towards Mr. Gu like a small snake.
Mr. Gu didn't know what it was, but he knew that once it came close to him, he might be worse than dead.
"When the army was setting out, Xie Mingxiao, the king of Yejun, sent someone to find me and asked me to do something for him. He transferred me out of the Cowardly Army, so I survived!"
Mr. Gu stared at the wandering Ransha and said these words in a hoarse voice and quickly.
Lin Ye pressed it with his fingers, and Ransha immediately stopped less than a foot away from Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu swallowed and spit again, as if to relieve the dry pain in his throat.
"I am indeed someone arranged by Your Majesty in the cowardly army. It's not that Your Majesty doesn't trust General Liu Jigong, but His Majesty has arranged people in all the armies."
Hearing this, Lin Ye nodded.
He believed this.
With Emperor Jade's character, it would be strange if he really trusted the general who led the troops.
Mr. Gu said: "Xie Liming knew my identity because... I told him, because I discovered that Xie Liming was stealing military rations and I threatened him..."
Lin Ye frowned: "If you threatened him, he should get rid of you."
Mr. Gu: "He didn't dare because I told him that I had already sent the secret report. If I died, the secret report would go directly to Goling. If I didn't die, the secret report would be hidden somewhere."
He continued: "Xie Liming said that Liu Jigong must die, and so must the cowardly army."
Lin Ye: "Reason."
Mr. Gu said: "At that time, I guessed that it might be because of the theft and sale of military rations, but later I found out that something was wrong. Maybe it was because of... Dongbo people."
He took the initiative to continue talking without waiting for Lin Yewen.
"Actually, the military rations, weapons and armor that Xie Liming sold were all sold to the Dongbo people, not the Loufan people."
"In addition, there were rumors at the time that after that battle, the emperor had plans to let General Liu Jigong lead the cowardly army to garrison Dongbo."
"So I guess that the people who bribed Xie Liming and some people in the army to betray the Cowardly Army are either from Loufan or from Dongbo."
Lin Ye said: "This is unreasonable."
He looked into Mr. Gu's eyes and said: "You should know that the cowardly army was besieged and the Beiye army was deliberately led astray. It was the current monarch of Dongbo who personally led the troops to help."
"Although there was no timely rescue, it is unreasonable for the Dongbo people to risk being trapped to death by an enemy many times their size, rather than for the monarch to personally lead his troops to rescue them."
In that battle, Dongbo's army fought tooth and nail to rescue them. They fought bloody battles with the Loufan people on the way, and the king of Dongbo personally charged into the battle.
Nearly 70,000 of the 80,000 Dongbo troops who rescued the cowardly army died, and the king of Dongbo was also seriously injured.
At that time, King Dongbo was less than twenty years old and had just ascended the throne.
At that time, his younger brother Yuyu Chengchang was only about ten years old.
Yuyu Chengchang just looks too thin and frail, so he looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man now. In fact, he should be at least ten years older than Lin Ye.
Lin Ye thought, if this was a conspiracy by the Dongbo people, and they betrayed Liu Jigong because they were afraid of Liu Jigong's garrison in Dongbo's southern border, then the king of Dongbo would have no reason to be so desperate.
Because of that battle, King Dongbo really almost died.
Mr. Gu shook his head and said: "I don't understand it either, but I guess this is the most reasonable explanation."
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "Otherwise, there is no need for Xie Liming to kill Liu Jigong."
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Do you know Liu Jigong? If you did, you would know that Liu Jigong would never report Xie Liming's theft and sale of military supplies to His Majesty."
Lin Ye frowned: "Why?"
Mr. Gu said: "Because he has a somewhat indecisive personality, he is worried that after he reports it, Emperor Yu will not deal with his biological brother, but will instead provoke Xie Liming's revenge."
Lin Ye: "It's even more impossible. The general should know your majesty's character."
Mr. Gu: "It's precisely because he knows."
Mr. Gu looked into Lin Ye's eyes and asked: "If one side is your brother and the eunuch you trust very much, and the other side is a general with military power, who do you believe?"
Lin Ye was shocked.
Mr. Gu said: "Even if His Majesty really dealt with Xie Liming at that time, would he kill Xie Liming's whole family? Liu Jigong's four sons are all in the cowardly army, shouldn't he think about his four sons?"
Lin Ye took a deep breath.
Mr. Gu said: "So, this matter is probably related to the people of Dongbo. It just doesn't make sense why the king of Dongbo fought so hard to save him. Maybe it was because he suddenly realized his conscience?"
Lin Ye asked: "Will your conscience find out?"
Mr. Gu quickly said: "Of course I will. Now I am telling you this because my conscience has found it, so I am thinking about it. You..."
Don't wait for him to finish.
Lin Yewen: "If you really have a conscience, when Xie Liming asks you to leave the Cowardly Army, you should think of a way to remind the general."
"If your conscience could affect you even just a little bit, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Cowardly Army would not have died tragically in Dongbo."
When Mr. Gu heard these words, his face changed suddenly. He had just regained some color, but now he was as pale as paper.
Lin Ye said: "I will give you one last chance. Besides the dead Xie Limingxiao and the eunuch, who else can do it?"
Mr. Gu immediately said: "Wan Cangce!"
He said anxiously: "This person was also in the Cowardly Army at that time, and he should be the person His Majesty arranged to keep an eye on Xie Liming, but he must have colluded with Xie Liming."
Lin Ye asked: "Where is this person now?"
Mr. Gu said: "He, she is the son of Wan Yulou, the current left prime minister, and she should be in Zhanzhou now."
Lin Ye asked: "Is there anything else?"
Mr. Gu said: "No, I really only know this much. Don't kill me. You said you would give me another chance."
Lin Ye nodded: "I said it."
Then he grabbed Mr. Gu's neck. Soon, Mr. Gu's eyes began to bulge out due to suffocation.
Soon after, Lin Ye let go of his hand and the body fell to the ground.
Lin Ye lowered his head and glanced.
"I said I would give you another chance, the chance to keep your body intact."
