Chapter 728: Chapter 726: Rebellion Army General’s Persuasion, Hongmen Banquet_1

The fifty thousand light cavalry were extremely saddened and angry upon learning about the death of their general, but they dared not speak up due to Danta’s intimidation.

Danta was arrogant and unwilling to listen to his advisers. He didn’t take the beast tide seriously, and after reorganizing the defeated and fleeing soldiers, he led an army of one hundred and fifty thousand to continue marching towards the Fengqi border.

*

Lin Qingluo ordered ninety thousand troops to camp ten miles away from the rebels, taking a short rest.

Mu Fangyun received a message informing her that the young general leading the troops was from the Lin Clan, and she was overjoyed. She personally visited the camp to have a secret meeting with the Lin siblings.

At this moment, the leader of the rebels, Chen Xun, also sent his trusted adviser to the camp to lobby them.

He invited the Lin siblings to a banquet under the pretext of negotiation. The location was set at a temporary tent not far from both armies’ camps.

“A Hongmen Banquet.”

Mu Fangyun blurted out without thinking: “Chen Xu is not to be trusted.”

“I also feel he has ill intentions.”

Lin Jinlong wholeheartedly agreed, his gaze at the adviser filled with murderous intent.

“Betraying Fengqi is utterly disgraceful.”

Lin Jinpeng spoke in a deep, angry voice: “What face does he have to negotiate with us?”

“Our general has no intention of betraying.”

The adviser was full of lies: “He was forced by the Second Imperial Princess and had no choice but to feign agreement, deceiving her.”

“Bah!”

Lin Jinpeng spat out his anger, covering the adviser’s face with saliva.

“Enough!”

Shitou couldn’t bear it any longer, scoffing coldly: “I can’t believe there’s someone so shameless, even more so than me.”

“Our general kindly invites you all, considering the loyalty and bravery of the Lin Clan’s army. Are you all humiliating me here because you’re too afraid to go?”

As it turned out, the adviser’s thick skin surpassed everyone’s imagination.

He merely flashed resentment in his eyes when being spat on, then wiped his face nonchalantly, using words to provoke the young and hot-blooded soldiers.

“Who are you saying is too afraid to go?”

Lin Jinpeng was the first to lose his temper, snapping at the adviser.

The other young soldiers glared angrily at the adviser as well.

“Since you young generals do not fear attending the banquet, I will be waiting for you with our general in the tent.”

The adviser raised his eyebrows smugly, pretending to be respectful as he bowed and left.

“Enough!”

Shitou clenched his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to rush out to beat the adviser up.

“Shitou, don’t be impulsive.”

Lin Jinlong quickly stopped him, restraining his impulsiveness.

“A messenger should not be killed during a war.”

Lin Jinpeng explained through gritted teeth while suppressing his anger.

“Hmph! What a stupid rule.”

Shitou sneered disdainfully and took a deep breath through his nostrils.

“Qingluo, Chen Xun cannot be trusted; he’s too cunning.”

Mu Fangyun furrowed her eyebrows worriedly, reminding her once again.

Lin Qingluo responded with a sincere smile: “Commander Mu, in your opinion, what’s Chen Xun’s purpose for initiating peace talks?”

“His purpose…”

Mu Fangyun hesitated for a moment, feeling a bad premonition: “Perhaps he knows that the Emperor is wary of the Lin Clan’s army, and he wants to take the opportunity to win you all over, promising great benefits in exchange for joining him in rebellion.”

At her words, the tent fell silent.

All the young soldiers turned their heads to look at Lin Qingluo.

The Lin brothers clenched their fists, overwhelmed by sadness and indignation. Their four disciples looked concerned and couldn’t find the words to say.

Lin Yixuan’s head was slightly lowered, his eyes brimming with tears.

“It’s possible.”

Lin Qingluo couldn’t help but feel dismayed and had to admit that Mu Fangyun’s conjecture was highly plausible.
