129 This is Just the Beginning 3 (1/2)

After Jun Xian and his guards fell off their horses, a group of assassins rushed at them. They were defenseless against the assassins in their weakened state. All the guards were killed and Jun Xian was captured and brought back to the Imperial City.

The guards from the Rui Lin Army had followed under Jun Xian for a long time and were his comrades, and were family to him. Jun Xian mourned deeply the over their deaths.

He was brought to a dungeon, if not for Jun Wu Yao's timely arrival, he might not have survived to see his son and granddaughter.

Jun Xian narrated the tumultuous events in an even voice…..

Though it made his audience wince at the close call.

Mo Qian Yuan being from the Imperial Family, lowered his head in shame, he knew better than anyone, the people responsible for the atrocities.

Jun Qing's face darkened. In the Imperial Family's attempt to eradicate the Jun Family, they had used Lin Yue Yang as bait, knowing the Jun Family would not stand by and see their benefactor die an ignoble death. The Jun Family was responsible for the tragedy of the Lin Family.

”We have implicated the Lin Family.” Jun Xian closed his eyes in pain. A military man his whole life, he had given his life to the country, the Emperor he has devoted his unwavering loyalty to, has turned out to be so callous.

The pain from his body pales in comparison to the pain stemming from the heart.

”Grandfather will be fine after a few days of administration.” Jun Wu Xie was packing up after hearing her grandfather speak.

Since leaving the Imperial Palace, she had been unusually calm.

This calmness, made Mo Qian Yuan who had seen her vicious cruelty, uneasy.
