C39 kinship sign (2/2)
Nan Jifu was younger than her royal sister by a lot, he had inherited the throne since a very young age, if not for the assistance of her royal sister, it would be difficult for him to stabilize the situation, so he had no choice but to give his royal sister face.
”Since your mother is begging for mercy, then I'll give you a chance to explain. If you don't tell me who you are, then don't blame me for not thinking about the imperial family.” Nan Jifu said in an elder's voice.
How could Lin Jingquan not know that his chance to live had come. As long as Nan Jifu was willing to listen, he was confident that he could make Nan Jifu believe his words.
”Uncle, this is what happened …”
Lin Jingquan really knew how to make things up. He actually withdrew from the war with Huang Peng that did not bring up any weapons. He then talked about how to collude with the Anhui and how to lure Qin Yong and his men into the Huyue City.
In the end, he was still shameless enough to say that Sun Linhu had joined his trusted aides to strangle him when he was trying to charge out of the tight encirclement.
Nan Jifu knew that many of these must have been fabricated, and he also knew what kind of duke Lin Jingquan was. Facing true slaughter, one would not fight to the death.
But at least Lin Jingquan had found a reason for Nan Jifu to let him go, and for the sake of his mother, Nan Jifu would definitely not kill him again, and would at most severely punish him once.
”You say that there is no evidence at all. Although it is reasonable, we cannot practice favouritism. We will punish you with two years' salary, and then you will be locked up at home for half a year.” After all, only the few of you have returned. Even if what you say is the truth, you are still considered a deserter in the army. ” Nan Jifu said with strength, hoping that his nephew would not embarrass him again.
When Lin Jingquan heard this judgement, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, he had no other choice, and could only accept it.
”Now that the Great General has rushed back to rescue us, I'm afraid that it will take another half a month.” Now that the Great General is rushing back to save us, I'm afraid that it will take another half a month. When Nan Jifu said this, other than wanting to go out and fight a great battle to express his fear, he also wanted to test the loyalty he had to the entire courtier.
courtier knew all of Nan Jifu's tricks, so they all replied: ”This subject is willing!”
As such, Nan Jifu was satisfied.
However, Lin Jingquan found a chance to show off in Nan Jifu's words: ”Uncle, you are leading the army personally, your nephew is willing to be a general to advise on your future, and at that time, you will know that what I have said before is true, and that you have done a great deed for yourself!”
Nan Jifu squinted his eyes, his mind thinking quickly, but he did not reply, and directly dispersed. He clearly already had a plan in mind.
The news of Nan Jifu controlling the army and leading the army quickly spread. In the entire Jinnan, one after another, his opinion of him rose to a whole new level. Many hot-blooded young men came to join the army, causing the thirty thousand elite soldiers that were left to guard the army, to suddenly recover to fifty thousand. This made Nan Jifu feel proud.
Just as Nan Jifu was feeling complacent, Qin Yong had led An Wanjun to the next city. There was only one city remaining before the Jinnan City.
Perhaps the twenty thousand additional soldiers had given him too much self-confidence, making him believe that he would definitely be able to drive the invading An Wanjun out of the country.
Very quickly, Nan Jifu had arrived at the Jinnan City's Lin City. After making a series of military arrangements, the Anhui Qin Yong could not help but admire the warrior emperor a little.
After all, there were very few emperors in all the kingdoms in the world who could make it to the battlefield, let alone those who were proficient in military strategies.
Of course, Qin Yong had also found out about Lin Jingquan. Lin Jingquan did not disappoint him, and there was indeed an army under his command, but it was only in a position of deputy army leader. But this didn't affect Lin Jingquan who was trapped in the mud pit.
Just that, since Nan Jifu was personally in charge, then it would probably not be an easy feat for Qin Yong to seize the city easily. Although this was within Qin Yong's expectations, he had not expected it to happen so quickly.
