From the beginning to the end, Lin Ye did not take any action, and he did not even leave Zina's side.
As a general, Lin Ye's performance was definitely not loyal.
But obviously, Emperor Jade didn't seem to care about Lin Ye's reaction. His eyes were always on Concubine Wan Gui.
When the assassins who sneaked into Yangzi Palace no longer posed a threat, Lin Ye and Zinai came out from behind the crowd.
It was at this time that Lin Ye learned that Sui Qingqu was seriously injured.
He asked Zinai to accompany his aunt and stop walking around, and then he rushed to see Sui Qingqu.
He didn't know what Sui Qingque's identity was, but he always had a feeling that Sui Qingque must have more ties with him than others.
In a side hall of the palace, Lin Ye found Sui Qingqu, and Lu Yunjia was treating Sui Qingqu's injuries.
Just as Lin Ye was about to speak, a white figure suddenly appeared behind Lin Ye.
The figure slapped Lin Ye on the back of the head with one hand. Lin Ye took a step forward, but the quicksand array knife stabbed him backward from under his arm.
The woman in white stretched out her hand and flicked the array knife lightly.
With a clang, the Quicksand Formation Knife came out of his hand and struck the opposite pillar with a bang.
"Somewhat bad."
The woman in white only said three words, then ignored Lin Ye and walked directly into the side hall without even looking at him.
As soon as she entered the door, Lu Yunjia immediately leaned over and knelt on the ground: "Master."
The woman in white hummed and squatted down to check Sui Qingqu's injuries.
She seemed to think for a moment, and then placed a hand on Sui Qingqu's lower abdomen.
The moment his palm touched it, Sui Qingqu, such a cold and hard man, couldn't help but cry out in pain.
The next breath, the woman in white frowned slightly, and a faint light flickered in her palms.
After another breath, she pulled her palm outward, and a breath visible to the naked eye was pulled out of Sui Qingqi's body.
When the energy was pulled out, she threw it back, and the energy hit the wall of the side hall, directly blowing a big hole in the wall.
"I have never looked down on Zen Buddhism, and I have always been in awe of great virtuous monks, but Duanhe does not deserve any respect from me, even if he has reached the six awns of Wuyue Realm."
The woman in white is talking about the old monk in black who sneaked up on Sui Qing.
Lu Yunjia asked eagerly: "Master, senior brother, he..."
"I need to practice for a while."
The woman in white said to Lu Yunjia: "Take him away. He cannot use his true energy for three months."
"yes."
Lu Yunjia responded immediately, picked up Sui Qing and rushed out without even looking back.
The woman in white then turned back to look at Lin Ye, looking up and down carefully as if looking at something.
"You didn't start practicing martial arts until you were ten years old?"
she asked.
Lin Ye replied: "Senior, yes."
The woman in white said: "Since you are already the master of this sect, you don't need to call me senior."
Lin Ye said: "If our sect follows the rules and the sect leader can do so regardless of seniority, then I will abolish this rule today."
The woman in white's eyes lit up slightly, as if she didn't expect Lin Ye to answer like this.
She nodded.
"You are really quick-thinking."
I don't know whether her words were appreciation or sarcasm, because there was no emotion in her tone.
She stepped forward: "You come with me, I have a few words to say."
Lin Ye leaned over and responded, stepping to follow.
The woman in white said calmly as she walked: "Since it's you, you should know what you want to do."
Lin Ye: "I don't understand, please give me some advice, senior."
The woman in white said: "How will you go in the future? I am not the one to let you understand. Someone will tell you that I can only let you understand the affairs of our sect. The disciples of our sect may not be chivalrous and righteous, but they must not do many evil things."
"
Lin Ye: "Junior, please remember this."
The woman in white looked back at him: "If you violate the rules of this sect, no matter how high you are in the future, I will still kill you."
Lin Ye: "Can you ask me a question, senior?"
The woman in white asked: "What's the problem?"
Lin Ye: "Who am I?"
The woman in white didn't answer and looked at Lin Ye carefully again.
Then she continued to move forward.
"I also want to know who you are. Someone will probably tell you soon. If we meet again in the future, please remember to tell me."
Lin Ye remained silent.
The woman in white said: "Do you know why our sect has always been within the northern territory of Dayu?"
Lin Ye replied: "Guard."
The woman in white asked again: "What are you protecting?"
Lin Ye replied: "Correct."
The steps of the woman in white stopped.
She looked back at Lin Ye again. This time, she seemed to be re-examining it, as if the Lin Ye she saw before was fake.
"No wonder."
The woman in white sighed softly.
She said: "In terms of talent, you are not as good as Qingqiu, and in terms of loyalty, you are not as good as Salang."
Lin Ye didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.
The woman in white said: "Correct... My master once asked Qing Qu this question, and his answer was... Qingyi. My master also asked Salang this question, and his answer was...
......justice."
She looked at Lin Ye and said: "You are ruthless, that's why Master thinks you are the right successor to the sect leader."
This is the first person to say that Lin Ye is ruthless.
But Lin Ye did not refute, because he had asked himself this question before, and the answer was ruthlessness.
His ruthlessness does not refer to his feelings towards his own people.
His ruthlessness is on a higher level.
The woman in white said: "After the Lone Bamboo incident is over, you will probably go to Geling. After arriving at Geling, your eyes will be full of prosperity and beauty, and your ears will be filled with flattery. I hope you will remember your own answer."
Lin Ye leaned over again: "Junior, remember this."
The woman in white hummed, and then she floated up like that. She flew away without looking at Lin Ye again or saying another word.
Lin Ye stood there in a daze. This senior of the sect seemed to have said a lot, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have said nothing.
While Lin Ye was in a daze, someone came to him and said that he was summoned by the emperor.
Lin Ye returned to Concubine Wan Gui's palace. The emperor was sitting on a chair, and a group of civil and military officials were standing on the left and right.
Lin Ye was about to salute after entering the door, but the emperor interrupted him.
"The war outside the city is not over yet, and someone needs to take command on the battlefield."
The emperor said slowly: "Lin Ye, I ask you to command all the troops except the imperial army and go out of the city to put down the rebellion."
Lin Ye: "Follow the order."
The emperor stood up and walked to Lin Ye. What surprised Lin Ye was that the emperor seemed to be looking at Lin Ye again, just like the woman in white, and looked at him carefully.
"Lin Ye, do you know how to end this rebellion?"
"Catch the thief."
Lin Ye's answer was only three words.
The emperor hummed.
"Who is the leader of the thief?"
The emperor asked again.
Lin Ye felt at this moment that all the civil and military officials in the hall were looking at him. The answer the emperor wanted from Lin Ye was not for the emperor, but for the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
"Son of Tuoba Lie."
Lin Ye's answer was quick.
More than half of the civil and military officials in the court took a breath of air-conditioning.
The emperor nodded: "Go."
Lin Ye saluted, turned and left.
At this moment, even if he is right next to His Majesty in this hall, the civil and military officials in the court cannot help but whisper.
The five words Lin Ye answered really scared them.
Tuoba Lie's son.
The emperor turned to look at the courtiers, paused for a moment and said, "Isn't Tuoba Lie very smart? Isn't he very powerful?"
While pacing, he said: "You must have been curious before why I came to Lone Bamboo in person, but now you should understand... My Yulingwei Town Governor Lu Gang found out these things, and he
He told me, but I didn’t believe it.”
The emperor walked back to his seat, turned around and looked at the ministers and continued talking.
"I don't believe it, and you probably don't believe it either. Why did General Tuoba, who once fought and shed blood for me, become like this?"
"You may think that I forced him to do this, and you may also think that if I really believed in him, why did I let Yu Lingwei investigate him?"
The emperor sat down and gently rubbed his hands on the armrests of the seat.
"I want to believe him, because he was my savior, and I feel that I have treated him badly by making him king."
The emperor took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"I brought you here and experienced dangers, so that you can understand that I doubt him because he has really been preparing for treason and rebellion."
The emperor seemed a little tired when he said this.
He raised his hand and waved it gently: "Let's all go. When we go back, think carefully about whether I was wrong or Tuoba was wrong."
He said: "If you feel that I was wrong, at this moment, you still have the opportunity to vote for another Ming Lord."
All civil and military officials in the court knelt down.
They are officials in the court, so how could they not understand the emperor? Since the emperor dares to come in person, no matter how safe Tuoba Lie's plan is, there is no chance of winning.
"I know that some of you have secretly interacted with Tuoba Lie... Even if I have been suppressing him and you have rejected him on the surface, you will probably still feel sorry for him in your heart."
The emperor closed his eyes.
He waved his hand again: "I don't blame you, and I won't hold you accountable. Please step aside."
The important ministers kowtowed again and again, and then left the dormitory one by one in fear.
After everyone exited, the emperor opened his eyes: "Xiao Gu."
Gu Xiujin hurriedly stepped forward: "Sage, I am here."
The emperor said: "Go and see Lin Ye, if he really understands what I mean."
Gu Xiujin leaned over and said, "I'll go right away."
Gu Xiujin left Yangzi Palace and went directly to Wulingwei Camp in the city.
Although he was injured, he knew that His Majesty needed him at this moment.
Carriages passed by on the street, corpses were everywhere, and the streets were filled with rivers of blood.
The Forbidden Army has begun to counterattack. The rebel team in the city besieging Yangzi Palace cannot stop the Forbidden Army's offensive.
The assassination in the palace failed, and these rebels also realized that the situation was over, so they lost their previous bravery.
When he arrived outside the Wulingwei camp, Gu Xiujin saw teams of Wulingwei being mobilized. After he entered the door, he saw that these Wulingwei were changing into civilian clothes and were distributing weapons that were not Wulingwei's standard weapons.
As soon as he got off the bus, Lin Ye's twelfth senior brother Yan Geng came over to greet him.
"Eunuch Gu."
Yan Geng clasped his fists and said, "The general said, let me wait here for my father-in-law to come, and let me tell my father-in-law that he has gone to suppress the rebellion."
Gu Xiujin smiled inwardly, His Majesty was not sure whether General Lin Ye understood it, but now it seems that General Lin Ye really understood it.
Yan Geng said: "The general said, let me lead the troops to escort my father-in-law back. The rebels in the city have not been wiped out, and many adults have caused trouble. I ask my father-in-law to be extra careful."
Gu Xiujin laughed: "Thank you, General, for your kindness. Then I will return to the palace to resume my duties."
That day, in Yangzi City, many civil and military officials who came with the emperor began to prepare their way out.
Their escape route is of course not to seek refuge with Tuoba Lie, but they must arrange for people to find a way out of the city and return to Dayu as soon as possible.
Inform the family that they must cut off contact with Tuoba Lie as soon as possible and destroy all evidence of communication.
In their view, the emperor's words were a reminder to them.
They were also grateful to the emperor and felt that it was rare for the emperor to open up a wide range of things.
But the emperor did not.
Wu Lingwei was just staring.
On this day, some rebels broke into the residence of the accompanying ministers and killed many people.
At the height of Yangzi City, the woman in white stood overlooking the city and the random thoughts.
