Hearing Liu San's voice ringing in his ears, the surprise in Lin An's eyes only flashed away, and then he regained his composure. He then took a deep breath and said to Liu San: "I can save your life, but this bargaining chip is not enough!"

Liu San's pupils shrank slightly, thinking that Lin An was going to go back on his word. However, after hearing the rest of his words, he immediately smiled and looked at Lin An with a complicated expression, saying, "I think the reason why we failed this mission is entirely because Liu Jiu underestimated you!"

"You are far more powerful than we imagined! No wonder His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi sent his adopted daughter to win you over!"

"If I'm not mistaken, what you did in the valley must be true! You single-handedly killed thousands of elite Yuan soldiers and returned unscathed!"

Having said this, he paused and smiled, "What else do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know!"

Seeing such a sensible person, Lin An nodded slightly and said, "Come with me!"

Then he brought Liu San to Xu Da and said a few words to him. Xu Da then looked at Liu San and raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really willing to abandon the dark and join the light?"

Liu San smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I still have the power to choose now?"

Xu Da nodded and said nothing more!

Lin An glanced at Zhu Di with a normal expression, and then entered the central military tent with Xu Da!

"Brother looked at you just now, what did it mean?" Xu Zengshou, who was beside Zhu Di, asked curiously!

Zhu Di curled his lips, glanced at the Wala soldiers on the battlefield, and said with a smile:

"Of course, a bloody massacre will follow! These people were chosen to carry out the assassination mission, so they must have been the best in the army. They must have taken many lives. If we let them go because of a moment of weakness, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountain?"

Xu Zengshou swallowed his saliva and said in surprise, "He glanced at you from a distance, and you understood so many layers of meaning. Brother-in-law, I suddenly feel that you are more suitable to be a lackey than me!"

Zhu Di glared at Xu Zengshou, then stretched out his hand and rubbed the latter's hair vigorously, saying helplessly:

"He's a lackey, so be it. Honestly, if you were born in the late Yuan Dynasty, when my father was fighting for the throne with Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, who knows who would have won the throne in the end!"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he ordered the Ming army to capture all the Wala soldiers! As for the outcome, it was basically self-evident. These people had the blood of the Ming people on their hands, and they would never see the sun again.

Xu Zengshou looked at Zhu Di's busy back and was suddenly stunned. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of shock on his face!

Zhu Di had a very high opinion of Lin An, which was something he had always known. However, what surprised him was that Zhu Di's opinion of Lin An was so high!

In troubled times, Lin An was at least a local lord! If he had been born a few years earlier, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty would probably have been replaced...

Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from a humble background and eventually conquered the world, was a great hero. He knew very well that he was a god-like figure. In Zhu Di's heart, Lin An could even rival Zhu Yuanzhang!

One can imagine how complicated Xu Zengshou's mood was!

Not far away, Yuan Duo'er, the accompanying military doctor, watched her comrades being slaughtered one by one. Her pupils shrank slightly, especially when the strong smell of blood rushed into her nose, making her scalp tingle! It was inevitable that she would feel a sense of grief for the loss of the rabbit!

However, this is secondary... Yuan Duoer turned her head to look at the central military tent. Although she was not sure whether Liu San knew about her affairs given his status, it was still a hidden danger!

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly someone was talking next to her. Yuan Duoer was startled and looked over quickly, and saw Xu Miaojin looking at her.

At this moment, Xu Miaojin has returned to her female attire. The flowing long hair behind her is undoubtedly very eye-catching. Coupled with her peerless beauty, she is simply a beautiful scenery that makes people stop and watch!

"It's nothing, just... I'm a little uncomfortable! This is the first time I've encountered such a situation!" Yuan Duoer said with a pale face.

He seemed to be feeling a little guilty, so he spoke in a very low voice!

Xu Miaojin nodded without any doubt. The two chatted for a while and then Xu Miaojin left. Yuan Duoer finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she touched her forehead, she found that it was covered in cold sweat.

"That was close. I was almost exposed!"

At this moment, inside the central army tent, Lin An looked at Liu San, who was kneeling in the middle of the tent, and asked, "Tell me, who tipped you off?"

Liu San glanced at Xu Da, then whispered, "Princess Wang Yuemin of Qin! According to the captain, it was ordered by His Royal Highness Zhu Chong, the Prince of Qin!"

As these words fell, the entire central military tent fell silent. Lin An's expression was relatively calm. As Wang Baobao's sister, it was reasonable for Wang Yuemin to pass on some information to Wang Baobao!

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang married Wang Yuemin to Zhu Chong in order to win over Wang Baobao!

However, what he didn't expect was why King Qin Zhu Chong got involved in this mess?

Could it be that Zhu Chong was corrupted by Wang Yuemin's sugar-coated bullets?

As for Xu Da, it was not so calm. Zhu Chong was the fruit of the love between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. Although he was not as favored as Zhu Biao, his favor was far greater than that of other princes.

It can be seen from the titles alone that, generally speaking, countries such as Qi, Wei, Yan, etc. were relatively powerful countries during the Warring States Period, and using them as titles was a symbol of being deeply loved and valued!

Xu Da's breathing became heavy as he was involved in so many things. He stood up suddenly, staring at Liu San intently, "You better think it through. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. You should know the consequences of talking nonsense!"

Liu San couldn't help but shudder, and quickly said with a sad face: "Every word I say is true, and I have no intention of deceiving you, General. Please understand!"

"Well then! Tell me, why did His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin want to harm me?" Xu Da's voice was like a huge bell, resounding in the hall.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear a hint of fear in it!

There was no way. Since it involved one of the emperor's most beloved princes, he was really scared.

Liu San shrank his head and said timidly:

"It's not about harming the general. The original words of the secret letter are that they hope Lin An can die on the battlefield! The captain said that this is to let them kill someone with a borrowed knife! So that the Ming Dynasty won't notice the clues! After all, dying on the battlefield is a normal thing."

"What? What does this have to do with me?" Hearing that he was involved, Lin An became restless. He walked up to Liu San and asked, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? That guy Zhu Chong wants to kill me?"

Xu Da swallowed hard, and felt his eyes go dark. A deep sense of powerlessness surged from his heart and then spread throughout his body.

If possible, he really wished he had never heard these words!

Now, not only is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin involved, but also the Marquis of Taiping, who is currently the most favored and regarded as a treasure by the Emperor and Empress Ma. If a detailed investigation is carried out, I am afraid that a catastrophe is inevitable!

"What kind of fate is this for me?"

"I just wanted to fight a good battle, simply kill the enemy and serve my country. How did I get dragged into these conspiracies and intrigues..."

At this moment, Xu Da really felt like crying but had no tears!
