I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Lin Chen's question was indeed funny to the people.

"It's not that we can't see things clearly, it's that the people are dying. What can we do? The world is divided and reunited, and wars are endless. It's us, the common people, who suffer the most."

"Your high-sounding words are like a yoke to us. What can we do to change them? We are just helpless civilians."

"If we had hope of answering these questions, we wouldn't be waiting here for those who wish to come. We would hope that the troops who come are from the Qin army, generals with great honors, and not some soldiers who defected halfway. This would be meaningless to us."

"Moreover, the rebels all turned against each other suddenly on the road, which means that one day in the future they will join other teams." Lin Chen heard them say this and naturally knew that the people had grudges in their hearts.

They were unhappy with these rebels, and the rebels initially existed only for the benefit of gold, silver and jewelry.

If the enemy had not given them enough money, the rebels probably would not have acted so easily, but everyone knew it at this moment.

The rebels must have great power here.

If they didn't have power, they wouldn't easily join this camp.

At this moment, the rebels came here with interests in mind, and there will definitely be competition here.

In any case, these rebels joined because of some huge interests involved, but the enemy forces may not think so.

The enemy may become crazy because of many things, because the traitors of Wei State are already afraid of the land of Qin. If they easily join the rebel team and become part of the fight against Qin, they will naturally gain a lot.

What they gained was not only the land of Daqin, but also fiefs in many other places, which would make their monarchs very happy.

After Lin Chen said these words, his heart was full of hesitation. He didn't know whether the thing he asked the princess to do was successful or not. It was heard that General Su Zheng had returned to the imperial city at this time, but whether he had arrived at the imperial city was probably still on the way. After hearing this, the four generals Fengshuangxueyue asked with some confusion.

"If you had asked the rebels to deliver the message, the news of Su Zheng's return would have been spread everywhere long ago. Why? There's still no movement from the Crown Prince? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still unaware of this matter?"

Even though he asked this, Lin Chen was embarrassed and said, "How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about this? I blocked the news in advance, only letting the Crown Prince not know that Su Zheng had returned. I used the rebel incident to disrupt Su Zheng's sight and let the Crown Prince not know that Su Zheng had returned."

"If Su Zheng was still here, he would definitely repel the rebels directly. However, Su Zheng is not here, so the people below are so rampant. Even the people at the foot of Tianmen Pass have begun to become rampant."

Having said that, Lin Chen knew that it was still difficult to solve the problem. If the people were unwilling to take action, then it would be difficult to win the battle with all their strength. After all, if one side's power was weakened, the other side would also disappear.

So Lin Chen only wanted to ask them one question: If you are sincere about winning this battle, why not spend some time boosting morale instead of saying such dejected words, which is useless.

No matter what Lin Chen said, the soldiers understood his meaning and simply asked, "General, since you have such foresight, why don't you go to the front lines to fight? What's the point of telling us all this instead?"

Lin Chen didn't know why this person said that. Did he think that since he looked like a general, he should lead troops to fight?

Lin Chen was laughing. "I am just a civil official, a retainer of the princess's mansion, not a general. These four generals Fengshuangxueyue came with me. They are generals under the princess, but they call me general."

After hearing Lin Chen's words, they understood what he meant. However, they still wanted to ask, "How dare you, my little retainer, come here alone? Did you also have a very bleak past, or were you suddenly promoted overnight?"

This person's question hit the nail on the head. Lin Chen said with some embarrassment, "I was indeed promoted suddenly, and I didn't know such a huge dynasty existed before."

"Originally, I was just a minor official doing odd jobs here and there, but I became a retainer for a while. I guess I'm lucky, right?"

After hearing what Lin Chen said, this group of people finally understood that Lin Chen was still doing very well at this moment.

However, they were actually a little suspicious, because they knew that Lin Chen was from the Great Qin Dynasty. How did he get here alone, such a long distance from Tianmen Pass to Xianghe?

This is what the common people asked, but Lin Chen wanted to laugh.

"I just traveled through mountains and rivers to come here to Tianmen Pass for rescue, and also to verify some of the things I want to do."

What he wanted to do was to ensure that General Su Zheng successfully returned to the imperial city and report to His Majesty the Emperor. This would make his task half successful. As long as Su Zheng returned to the city, the old emperor would probably know that Su Zheng was planning a rebellion, and that it was arranged by the prince, which would probably cause misunderstandings. The princess's move would probably make it impossible for the prince to turn things around.

That being said, Lin Chen and his men are at the Tianmen Pass border, and they don't know what the situation will be like next. However, at this moment they can only endure and sort out these things. They don't know when everything will improve.

Because if this war lasts for several years, these people will definitely suffer, and there will not be much change. They may become refugees and stay here, or move to other places.

But leaving their hometown is a painful thing for them.

The people were actually very touched when they heard these words.

They asked Lin Chen about what would happen next. "General, since you have so much experience and have come here from the Imperial City, you must have suffered a lot. But why did you bring the four generals Fengshuangxueyue to comfort us? Isn't asking the people the most useless thing?"

"The most important thing to do is to rush to the front lines when the war begins. However, since you are also a civil official, we will not force you. However, these four military generals should also join the troops in the battle instead of wasting time here."

After hearing this, the four generals lowered their heads in shame and said, "We also want to join this war, but the dynasty has not appointed us. If we join, we will probably suffer endless troubles. Besides, this place is dominated by the prince's forces."

"With General Su Zheng's strength, it should be no problem to take down these Wei thieves. I don't think our help is actually necessary. It will only cause more trouble."
