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

After hearing this, the rebels had mixed feelings. "If only we hadn't surrendered to the enemy in the first place, we wouldn't have known that Tianmen Pass would be defended so quickly. We originally thought that reinforcements wouldn't arrive, and then General Su Zheng couldn't win this war. It would take several years for us to even think about surrendering."

"How come they've suddenly turned the tide and won the war? We have no choice but to come back, but it seems we can't go back now."

They sighed and said that they felt very sorry for the soldiers. If only they had not done that in the beginning, it would have been better. However, it was useless to say anything. After all, what happened was inevitable. They became such rebels and now became the laughing stock of others. Of course, there was nothing they could do.

No matter what, it was still difficult to get things done in this city, and being a civilian would also lead to being looked down upon by others. Some of the rebels even wanted to die, but when Lin Chen saw that they were about to commit suicide, he walked up to them and said soothingly, "Don't get excited. Even if you are rebels, you have the right to live. As long as you work hard for the people and the people of the world, you will have the opportunity to take on more responsibilities in the future."

"But becoming a member of the army is impossible in this lifetime. With your resume, who would dare to hire you? So this incident is also a lesson for you. No one should ever try to deceive the people of Daqin and then want to return to Daqin. It's good enough that I can let you return now. You also want to return to the army. Do you think this is appropriate?"

What Lin Chen said was also a reminder to these rebels that if they wanted to become good people in the future, they should do their job well, but they should not dream of becoming a member of the army.

The soldiers and generals trained by Lin Chen all saw this conversation and understood what Lin Chen meant. They were all soldiers under the princess at this time, and they were wholeheartedly thinking about doing things for the country. When they heard Lin Chen's punishment, they knew that if they became rebels, they would never be soldiers in this life.

The soldiers and generals immediately said with deep emotion, "We must not betray the Great Qin Dynasty in this life. We must win this war and work for the people of the world. We must not become useless like them. Otherwise, it will be useless to ask for mercy now."

The soldiers looked at each other and said indignantly, "We will definitely be loyal to our country and the Great Qin Dynasty. We will never have any other intentions and will not be as useless as them."

The rebels felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

Seeing that they were once just small soldiers and generals who had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, but now they don’t even have the chance to lead troops to kill the enemy, they are very depressed, but they don’t know what to do. They can only blame themselves for making the wrong choice at the beginning. However, it is too late to say these things now.

"Only by doing the work at hand well and serving the people as much as possible can we have the possibility of repentance."

"But I only repent. I will never have the chance to join a military dynasty in this lifetime, nor will I fight alongside those soldiers on the battlefield."

Even though they knew clearly that this matter was very troublesome, they were not willing to beg for mercy at this moment, because Lin Chen's meaning was already very clear. If they were unwilling to accept it, then they had no choice but to return to the people.

But when these rebels changed into civilian clothes and walked among the people, the people could not accept their presence. They scolded them, saying, "You were rebels before, and now you are civilians. Do you really think we are fools? I remember all your names. When the time comes, I will write down who is a rebel in the city."

"Many lists have been written at the foot of Tianmen Pass, and all of you are on the list. Do you think we are fools?" The people recognized them. Some of these rebels could not walk and did not know what to do. Some of them even had thoughts of committing suicide.

However, after hearing their words of wanting to die, Lin Chen walked into the crowd and spoke a fair word, "Don't be discouraged. Even if you became a rebel, it was only a temporary mistake. If you regret and correct your mistakes later, everyone will accept it. But if you just became a rebel and now return to the crowd, who can accept it?"

"Only after you sincerely work for them and sincerely repent, can you join their ranks. Of course, you still won't have a chance to join their army, but if a new war breaks out in the future, if they go to fight, you can also join them."

"If your sacrifice can be considered a glory for you, it means that you have never given up on the Great Qin Dynasty."

Lin Chen also gave them an opportunity. These people listened with great excitement and said, "Really? It seems that in the future, when we go to the battlefield, we can spontaneously attack the enemy. If we make meritorious deeds, can it offset our past sins?"

Lin Chen thought about it. If these rebels had indeed sacrificed a lot of lives and made great efforts to repel the enemy, then he could indeed accept their existence.

However, although they were rebels in the past, they later became good people, which is actually acceptable.

However, Lin Chen did not explain in such detail. He simply told them, "As long as you are sincere and kind, and sincerely work hard for the Great Qin Dynasty to repel the enemy on the battlefield, it will be counted as a contribution and your name will be counted."

The rebels were delighted to hear this; they hadn't expected such a good opportunity. They had originally thought everything was over and there was no going back. But now they had this chance to go to the battlefield, which actually gave them some motivation to live.

But the common people saw that these rebels wanted to die one by one, and they couldn't bear it either. So they walked up to these rebels and said a few words to them, "Don't be too discouraged. Although we blame you, we are blaming you for your mistakes at that time."

"But as long as you work hard and live well, and work hard for the Great Qin Dynasty and its people, we won't be too critical and will let you live a normal life. You don't have to worry too much about what we say. We say what we should say, but we still hope that you can live well."

These words resonated deeply with the rebels. They hadn't initially thought anyone would forgive them, but now, realizing the sincerity and willingness of the common people to accept them, they were instantly delighted. They especially looked at Lin Chen, "We have to thank the general for speaking up for us. Otherwise, we would have no point in existing. We rebels would be like ants in this world."

Lin Chen felt bad when he heard them belittle him like that.

Lin Chen had no choice but to personally issue them a document that read, "All rebels who sincerely work for the people of the Great Qin Dynasty will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. However, it is still difficult to gain the support of the army. These rebels still need to work hard sincerely, otherwise we will not recognize your status."
