The Ming Dynasty began from Sarhu

Chapter 747 Waiting for the Barbarians and Collapse
Cui Qi looked around and tore off his armor, revealing several rib wounds, showing his heroic spirit: "I have followed Marshal Pu of the Sixth Corps, and have been through hail of bullets and countless wounds. I am not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of eating a jar of wine and a few pieces of meat?"

Lin Zhenyu looked back at Lao Pan. He guessed that these words were taught to Cui Qi by Lao Pan.

"Emperor Guangde is in power, cruel and ruthless. He even wants to kill the princess. He is worse than a beast! He persecutes military men, killing too few people and arresting too many people. Now all the generals in the world are rising up in rebellion against the court. Officer Lin, in order to escort the princess safely to Yunyang, encountered countless bandits along the way who wanted to kill her! Emperor Guangde and the princess are irreconcilable. Rumor has it in Nanjing that whoever kills Liu Yufei will be rewarded with ten thousand gold! Now Officer Lin, unaware of the emperor's kindness, risked his life to protect the princess, fighting one against a hundred, and even offending Emperor Guangde, to safely escort the princess and her entourage to Marshal Qin. Despite his hard work and great achievements, the Marshal not only did not reward him, but instead believed the villain who wanted to murder Officer Lin and set up a Hongmen Banquet here!
"Could it be that Marshal Qin is also going to be an accomplice to the tiger, working for Emperor Guangde and willingly becoming a running dog of the imperial court?!"

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at the guard who was talking incessantly.

The warriors put their fingers on the scabbards, waiting for Qin Jianxun to give the order, and then they would go forward and chop the guard into meat paste.

Qin Jianxun's expression was as calm as water. He did not react to his subordinates at all. He just said to Cui Qi:

"sit."

Cui Qi saluted the Marshal and sat down next to Lin Zhenyu.

The situation was tense all around, and the sound of blades being drawn could be faintly heard outside the tent. Lin Zhenyu felt very uncomfortable and felt a little awkward sitting there.

After sitting for a while, he got up on the pretext of going to the toilet.

"Wait a minute," Qin Jianxun finally spoke.

"Drink this bowl of wine first, then it won't be too late to go to the toilet."

Before he finished speaking, three or four strong generals stepped forward to block Cui Qi.

Lin Zhenyu had no choice but to lift the wine jar, looked up at Qin Jianxun, and spilled the wine on the ground:
"Respect the gods and spirits of heaven, and the spirit of the Emperor! Let all the gods take a good look at Lin Yu's son, and see whether I, Lin Zhenyu, am loyal or treacherous!"

Before he could finish, he poured the wine onto the ground again:
"I pay my respects to the soldiers of each regiment who died. You didn't die at the hands of the enemy, but became victims of your own knives! Lin Zhenyu feels so sorry for our brothers!"

The splashed wine spilled onto the feet of the generals. The generals surrounding them subconsciously took two steps back. Qin Jianxun watched Lin Zhenyu's performance with great interest.

"This wine in the middle is dedicated to the Fourth Corps, to Marshal Qin and all the generals. If it weren't for you guarding Huguang, it would have been invaded countless times by the chieftains and barbarians!"

At this time, the remaining wine in the jar barely covered the bottom of the jar. Lin Zhenyu lifted the jar, looked heroic, and drank the wine.

"Fuck!" This...

Under the stunned gaze of the generals of the Fourth Corps, Lin Zhenyu took out the bottom of the tank and gestured to everyone.

After Lin Zhenyu put down the wine jar, Qin Jianxun stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, nodded and smiled:
"Good! Good! Good! Officer Lin is very shrewd... smarter than your father. Your father and I were close friends back then, so how could he possibly harm you? You're worrying too much."

Lin Zhenyu secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, I was almost hacked to death just now, why am I still worrying so much.

Seeing Lin Zhenyu relax a little, Qin Jianxun suddenly said gloomily, "Officer Lin escorted the princess to Yunyang safely, which shows that you also have sympathy for the Liaodong rebellion. If Emperor Guangde knew about this, Officer Lin would probably not be able to leave Yunyang alive."

Lin Zhenyu didn't know that Qin Jianxun was testing him. He was about to get angry, but then he thought, if Qin Jianxun wanted to arrest him, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

"General Qin, you're joking. I was originally sent by Emperor Guangde. Now that my mission is complete, why can't I leave Yunyang alive?"

Qin Jianxun laughed heartily. "It seems Officer Lin really doesn't know the ins and outs of the court. Your personal guard just wantonly slandered the government, and I guess he doesn't approve of the new policies. If that's the case, we should execute him as soon as possible to prevent future trouble."

Lin Zhenyu clapped his hands and laughed: "So, Marshal Qin and your soldiers have indeed become the Guangde Emperor's lackeys?"

"Hack him!"

"How dare you speak so rudely! Kill him!"

Qin Jianxun repelled the charging generals and turned to Lin Zhenyu with a friendly expression, "The Emperor has disappeared inexplicably, and his body has yet to be found. I simply find this matter suspicious. Only by being alive can we know what happened next, so our Fourth Corps has been holding back..."

"Qin Jianxun, do you still want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

Qin Jianxun didn't care about official etiquette at this time, and shouted angrily:

"My comrades are dying every day. Why should I sit on the sidelines and watch tigers fight?"
