Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Lu Fengjin remained silent.

At this moment, his shoulders slumped, his face expressionless, completely wooden.

He was once the god of war in the hearts of the people of Dongling, and was once revered by all.

Why has it come to this?

Was he really wrong?

"Even if I admit my mistake now, so what? It will only benefit you. What good will it do me? Ali, there is no turning back for me."

No, you still have some.

"Will you still give me the Urchin League? Absolutely not..."

"Impossible!" Chu Yueli's simple words silenced all his words.

"At this point, it's impossible for Prince Jin to still want the Urchin Alliance. Even if you return to the capital, Prince Jin will not have any merit. On the contrary, you will be punished."

Lu Fengjin didn't speak, he just sneered.

So, what else is there to do with him?

A desperate gamble might just kill Lu Beimo, or perhaps even lead to their mutual destruction.

If we simply hand it over, we'll be giving Lu Beimo a free ride.

“Prince Jin, if you continue to be so stubborn, you will only be slowing down Bei Mo’s advance for several months. But you know in your heart that your soldiers have no morale at all. They are unwilling to fight their own brothers!”

"Their fighting spirit is completely gone because they know what they are doing is wrong. They are just following you like puppets obeying your orders. They are only doing so because they dare not disobey you for the time being. But you cannot suppress them for long; they will rebel."

On any other day, Lu Fengjin would have definitely refuted Chu Yueli's words.

But today, he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal, perhaps because he himself knew in his heart that what she said was not wrong.

"So, I'm doomed?" He smiled again, a smile devoid of any vitality.

"No, you still have a way out: make amends."

Chu Yueli pulled him up: "Go out and tell everyone that it was all a conspiracy by the rebels. It was Tuoba Feiyuan who made you misunderstand Prince Mo and think that the Northern Cavalry was going to rebel, which is why you suppressed it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fengjin's eyes.

Chu Yueli added, "Prince Jin, this is your only way out. If you have calmed down by now, think it over carefully!"

"Okay, I can promise you."

Perhaps this is truly his only way out. His life has been utterly ruined by his own folly.

Today, Tuoba Feiyuan abandoned him, and he saw through everything about this woman's past.

It was him, he was really too stupid, letting Tuoba Feiyuan and Tuoba Mingyue ruin everything he had worked so hard for.

It also ruined his life.

"But I have one more condition."

"I wonder what else Your Highness desires? If it is within our capabilities, we can agree to it. However, Your Highness should understand that there are some things that even Bei Mo and I cannot guarantee to you."

His attack on the Northern Cavalry was a secret that could not be kept hidden and would eventually reach the capital.

How the Emperor decides to punish them is his business; neither she nor Lu Beimo has the right to interfere.

What I need you to do is very simple.

Lu Fengjin looked at her, a cold glint flashing in his eyes that was impossible to fathom.

"I also want to see how much you are willing to sacrifice for Lu Beimo, and whether you are really as reckless as you think."
