Chapter 421 Lin Xing's Submission
As the man in black slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Xing.
Lin Xing held his breath and spoke calmly to the man in black.
"I want to know what would happen if I choose to join His Majesty the Flame Emperor."
"Your Majesty, can you let me kill the murderer who killed the Emperor of Qi?"
After hearing Lin Xing's words, the man in black was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth covered by the black cloth slowly rose.
"General Lin, I cannot answer this question for the time being."
"I will answer you after I go back and tell the person behind me about this."
After saying that, the man in black stood up and pushed open the door of Lin Xing's study.
"General Lin, I hope you won't disappoint the person behind me!"
After saying these last words, the man in black flashed away and disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at the direction where the man in black left, Lin Xing frowned tightly.
"It seems... it's time for me to make the right choice..."
The next morning, the 50,000 Qi soldiers in the county seat of Nanxi received an order that shocked them a little.
"Hurry up and lay down your weapons, open the city gates, and welcome the Yan Nation army into the city!"
After receiving this order, all the Qi soldiers were shocked.
However, due to Lin Xing's reputation and prestige in the army, these soldiers did not object.
They quickly put down their weapons and opened the city gate.
A full 100,000-strong Yan State army was welcomed into the city of Nanxi County.
As for the remaining 300,000 Yan State troops, they continued to be stationed outside the city of Nanxi County.
Lin Xing, wearing armor and accompanied by several generals, waited respectfully outside the county magistrate's mansion.
After a while, Jiang Chen, who was welcomed into the city, rode on the strange beast Qilin and slowly came to the gate of the county magistrate's mansion.
Looking at the strange Qilin beast under Jiang Chen's crotch, Lin Xing couldn't help but feel a little envious.
As for this strange beast that originally only existed in legends, Lin Xing didn't even dare to think about owning one.
Not to mention, someone like Jiang Chen uses it as a mount.
When Jiang Chen, wearing dragon-slaying armor and a dragon-shaped mask, came in front of Lin Xing.
Lin Xing quickly knelt down in front of the Qilin monster and shouted loudly.
"General of Qi, Lin Xing pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor Yan!"
Hearing Lin Xing's words, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to him.
After looking Lin Xing up and down, Jiang Chen spoke calmly.
"Are you Lin Xing, known as the 'Blade of Qi'?"
"Your Majesty, that's right. Please dismount and accept our surrender!"
As Lin Xing spoke, he took off the sword hanging from his neck and presented it to Jiang Chen.
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
After getting off the horse, Jiang Chen came to Lin Xing.
Then, he whispered in Lin Xing's ear.
"General Lin, I know all your requests."
"I can meet your request until the day when my Yan army conquers the capital of Qi."
"That will be the day you kill Zhu Hongwu with your own hands!"
After hearing what Jiang Chen said to him, Lin Xing became emotional and kowtowed heavily to Jiang Chen.
"Your Majesty Emperor Yan, rest assured. From now on, Lin Xing's life will be saved."
"It belongs to His Majesty the Yan Emperor and the Yan Nation!"
After gaining Lin Xing's loyalty, Jiang Chen slowly walked into the Nanxi County Magistrate's Office.
In addition to Yuan Hao, who was stationed outside the city with an army of 300,000, Yu Shuo also took over the defense of the entire Nanxi County with 100,000 troops.
In the huge study of the county magistrate's mansion, Jiang Chen, Gongsun Liang and Yu Yongyuan were sitting in front of the desk.
"Your Majesty, we have now obtained the capital of Nanxi County."
"Then the next step is to head directly to the capital of Qi State."
Gongsun Liang looked at Jiang Chen and expressed his thoughts.
However, Jiang Chen neither agreed nor opposed Gongsun Liang's idea.
He just closed his eyes quietly, leaning back in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Yu Yongyuan, who was standing aside, looked at Jiang Chen's appearance and couldn't help but curl his lips and said.
"I say, Yan Huang boy, you should express your opinion quickly!"
"I can't stand your dithering any more."
"You're so timid. This isn't your usual style."
After Yu Yongyuan finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen.
After being confronted by Yu Yongyuan, no matter how calm Jiang Chen was, he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Old Senior Yu, I am not afraid of anything."
"Just last night, I received a secret letter from Guigu."
Jiang Chen said this, smiling helplessly, and then continued to explain.
"After Zhu Hongwu, disguised as 'Tian Min', retreated to the capital of Qi."
"So they sent letters of request for assistance to the emperors and royal ancestors of the other three countries."
Following Jiang Chen's explanation, Gongsun Liang and Yu Yongyuan couldn't help but frown at the same time.
This news is really not good if the three countries intervene now .
With the current military strength of Yan State within the territory of Qi State, it is completely insufficient to face the joint efforts of the three countries.
Even though Jiang Chen was protected by eighteen late-stage acquired grandmasters of Guigu Secret Guards.
But the generals under his command and the 400,000-strong army were no match for those martial arts masters.
What's more, if the three kingdoms send out troops, their total strength is likely to exceed that of the Yan Kingdom's army!
But in fact, this is not what Jiang Chen is most worried about.
What Jiang Chen was really worried about was the attitudes of the various schools of thought in the ancient holy land.
If they do not support Jiang Chen in destroying the State of Qi, they will most likely take this opportunity to attack Jiang Chen and the entire Guigu!
Yu Yongyuan on the side had obviously also thought this through and began to ponder over it.
Just as Gongsun Liang and Yu Yongyuan were thinking hard, Jiang Chen stood up with a loud laugh.
"Gongsun Liang, Senior Yu, pass on the order!"
"I've figured it out. Instead of being scared, it's better to do it first."
"I was so focused on how Guigu would be affected that I almost forgot."
"Right now, Guigu is still the most powerful sect in the entire Ancient Holy Land!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen had finally made a decision, Gongsun Liang and Yu Yongyuan no longer hesitated.
The two of them stood up at the same time and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, after a day of rest, the 400,000 Yan State troops left another 50,000 to garrison Nanxi County.
He took Lin Xing and the 50,000 Qi soldiers and galloped towards Shanyang Pass.
After receiving this news, the Qi general in charge of garrisoning at Shanyang Pass immediately became angry.
"Damn it, Lin Xing is a traitor who sells out his country for personal gain!"
"They surrendered to that damn Flame Emperor without even putting up a fight!"
"Humph, but it just so happens that since they dare to attack Shanyang Pass, I will keep them all!"
