Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Lin Yu looked anxiously at the king before him, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He hurriedly bowed and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, this evidence is irrefutable and absolutely true! I dare to guarantee with my life that there is not a single falsehood or forgery in it. Those treacherous villains have ulterior motives and are trying to deceive your holy ears with sweet words. I beg Your Majesty to see clearly and not be misled by their lies!"

Seeing this, Su Yao, who was standing to the side, quickly moved closer with graceful steps. She then gave a delicate bow, her voice as melodious as a nightingale's song: "Your Majesty is wise. Although I am of limited learning and experience, I am keenly aware of the difference between loyalty and treachery, good and evil. General Lin Yu has always been unwaveringly loyal to Your Majesty, his loyalty as clear and unquestionable as the bright sun and moon in the sky. Moreover, every word of the evidence he has presented is true and credible, without the slightest falsehood. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly, to believe in the General's innocence, and not to let such a loyal and virtuous minister suffer this injustice!"

Upon hearing this, the king narrowed his deep, sharp eyes slightly, gently resting his chin on his left hand, and remained silent, lost in thought. For a moment, the entire palace was deathly silent, the atmosphere exceptionally heavy and oppressive. After a long while, the king finally broke the suffocating silence. He slowly opened his mouth and spoke in a calm and authoritative tone: "This matter is of great importance and involves many aspects. Many details still require further investigation and verification. Therefore, I need some time to conduct a thorough investigation. Only after the truth comes to light can I give a definitive conclusion. You two may leave for now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu and Su Yao exchanged a glance. As their eyes met, it was as if an invisible current passed through them, and they both caught a glimpse of undisguised helplessness in the depths of each other's deep, still eyes. That helplessness hung heavy and oppressive over their hearts like a dark cloud.

However, the king's command was like a mountain, crushing an egg, impossible to resist. Despite their reluctance, they knew the consequences of disobeying the king's decree would be dire. Therefore, suppressing their inner resistance, the two men respectfully bowed deeply once more to the king, who sat high on his throne, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if rehearsed countless times. After the bow, they slowly straightened up, silently turned around, and walked with slightly heavy steps toward the palace gate.

When the two finally returned to the residence, the previously relaxed and joyful atmosphere had vanished. In its place was a heavy and somber mood, both looking preoccupied and worried. Su Yao gently furrowed her beautiful, crescent-shaped eyebrows, her pretty face filled with sorrow. She sighed softly, her voice brimming with endless worry: "Alas, what should we do? If the King cannot quickly investigate this matter thoroughly and uncover the truth, our current situation is truly precarious!" As she spoke, she unconsciously shook her head slightly, the gentle gesture revealing her growing anxiety and unease.

Lin Yu calmly comforted the anxious person beside him: "Don't be impatient, we still have a chance to turn things around. Look at those treacherous villains, they are so eager to frame us, which makes it easier for them to expose their flaws and schemes."

Just as Lin Yu had predicted, the ministers, harboring ulterior motives, grew increasingly fearful and uneasy when they saw that the king had not fully believed their slander. After some secret plotting, these ruthless individuals decided to take a desperate gamble and attempt to achieve their nefarious goals by orchestrating a massive rebellion.

So these people began to secretly and intensively gather a large number of troops and carefully planned to launch a surprise attack at night, heading straight for the royal palace.

However, the net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. With his keen insight and extraordinary wisdom, Lin Yu quickly sensed the anomaly in the situation. Without delay, he decisively took Su Yao to the palace to meet the king and truthfully report this important discovery.

Upon hearing this news, the king, who had been sitting calmly in the court, was instantly terrified, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Fortunately, he remained composed under pressure and immediately issued a decree appointing Lin Yu to take full responsibility for organizing the defense of the palace.

Upon receiving the decree, Lin Yu dared not be negligent in the slightest. He moved through the palace like the wind, methodically mobilizing troops from all sides and quickly deploying impregnable defensive lines based on the terrain around the palace.

Night fell silently, shrouding the entire palace in a thick shadow. Just then, deafening shouts of battle erupted in the distance, growing louder and louder as they approached—the rebellious army was charging towards them with overwhelming force!
