Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2603 First meeting
Ying Baoyue's three views have been overturned many times in a short period of time.

Hearing the truth that she and Ji Mo had already guessed, she was not surprised at all.

"Yeah."

She lowered her eyelashes, "It's you."

She had long known that Jin Yun, as the eldest son of Jin Cheng, was the person who should be confirmed dead among the nine clans.

How could such a person be the only survivor of the Jin family's genocide?
Jin Yun must have been rescued by someone on purpose.

But who in this world can save people from the imperial decree issued by Emperor Ying to kill nine generations of a clan?

Since no one can do it, the only one left is Emperor Ying himself.

"Why are you doing this?"

Ying Baoyue looked into Emperor Ying's eyes and said, "Kill all his family members and leave him alone."

"No..." She took a deep breath, "Answer me first, why did you send him to Xirong?"

The most terrifying thing is not that Jin Yun is the only one left behind. She can guess the reason for this.

This is the mentality of an emperor.

After killing all of Jin Yun's relatives and rescuing him from hell... as long as Emperor Ying hides his identity and appears in front of Jin Yun, Jin Yun will regard him as a god and obey his orders.

Ying Baoyue did not forget that this man was best at playing tricks.

After this operation, the orphan of the Jin family will become the most loyal servant of Emperor Ying.

There is no one easier to exploit than someone who is full of hatred.

But Ying Baoyue didn’t understand why such a person should be sent to Xirong.

When Emperor Ying killed the Jin family, the Qin Dynasty had just been established. However, he sent an orphan who hated the Qin emperor to the Western Rong, allowing them to subvert his rule.

What on earth is this person thinking?
"You used him to turn him into Yunzhong Jun, Xirong Guoshi, and the master of the Zen temple..."

Ying Baoyue could hardly continue speaking, and the hand holding the sword began to tremble.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

To be honest, she could understand the emperor's mind, could understand the principle of "the cunning rabbit is killed and the running dog is cooked", and could understand what an emperor would do to eliminate dissidents and defend the imperial power.

But she couldn't understand why this person would betray the dream they had fought for their whole lives and destroy the career they had spent their entire lives building.

That was the dream that Emperor Ying and Lin Shubai made together on the shore of Lancang Sea when they were in poverty.

"You said... you wanted to unify the continent and make sure the people in the border areas no longer suffer from war."

"You said that you would create a great cause that no previous king had ever accomplished, and prevent foreign bandits from invading the Central Plains..."

The atmosphere in the secret room was unusually dead and silent. The candle flames flickered like the eyes of thousands of dead soldiers.

The man hidden in the fur did not move or laugh again.

"Do you still believe it?"

Ying Baoyue widened his eyes slightly.

Emperor Ying's voice changed. It was no longer the hoarse and unpleasant voice of an old man, but returned to its previous voice.

A young, powerful and vibrant voice.

That was the voice she had heard many times when she fell asleep in her childhood, when he and his master discussed the future and ideals. She and her master met this strange prince of Qin on their way from Southern Chu to the north. He said he was traveling alone, and although his realm was not high, he drew his sword to help when he saw someone chasing her and her master. In the end, it was her master who saved him from being chopped down by the thieves.

As it turned out, the man became interested in this strange pair for some reason, and suggested that he and they be traveling together as they were going the same way.

Because she had been betrayed many times by people she met on the road, the master was wary and hostile to this young man who approached her for no apparent reason. However, this man seemed to be a chatterbox, riding his horse beside them and not leaving, chattering with them about his experiences along the way and the customs and practices of Qin.

After a while, he somehow ended up chatting with Lin Shubai.

This man was different from the princes they had met before, his mind was full of strange ideas. He had no airs of a prince or nobleman, he drank cold water, ate wild fruits, slept in a mass grave, and was very adaptable to living in the open air.

At first, Lin Shubai thought that this person was a fake prince of the State of Qin, and treated him as just an ordinary playboy traveling around the world.

As they chatted, they gradually became travel companions.

Ying Baoyue didn't know why this person got along so well with Lin Shubai. It was not enough for them to chat on the road during the day, they also had to chat about all sorts of things while sitting by the campfire at night.

She lay on Lin Shubai's lap countless times and fell asleep listening to the two of them arguing about questions like, "If we give the carriage wings, can it fly in the sky? No, this does not conform to the laws of physics. It must have boosters. Then can we add firecrackers and kites?"

Before she traveled to the modern world, she couldn't understand the strange things her master said. From childhood to adulthood, the only person she met who could talk to her master was this strange boy they met on the road.

Before they met Emperor Ying, they actually had no escape route. They said they were going to the north, but it was only because Lin Shubai stole the Taia Sword and the southern cultivation world was hunting them down. They couldn't stay in the south any longer, so they headed north aimlessly.

In order to protect the young girl in his arms, Lin Shubai lost his lover, family and homeland. After leaving Nanchu, Lin Shubai had nowhere to go and could only flee in confusion. He had no plans for the future path of his life.

At that time, they never imagined that this playboy whom they met by chance would give them the direction for their future.

At the boundary between Wei and Qin, they met a group of practitioners from the north. They had heard the legend of the natural level 6 practitioner and came to hunt her down. This group of people was well-equipped and numerous. Lin Shubai led her into a tough battle, and Langdang'er also joined them but still lost.

In the chaos, Lin Shubai was besieged by six people and was seriously injured, but he still gritted his teeth and tied her tightly in his arms and refused to let her go.

At the critical moment, they heard the voice.

It was a serious and intimidating voice, completely different from the one he used during a chat.

"stop."

"Do you know who you are attacking?"

The playboy on horseback took off the veil covering his face and pulled out a black jade pendant from his arms.

Although she was still young at that time, she still remembered how sparkling the obsidian jade pendant was in the sun.

The weapons of the knights, who were originally extremely arrogant, fell to the ground, and then they hurriedly dismounted from their horses and kowtowed to confess their crimes.

"Your Highness the County Prince?"

"Master? Why are you here?"

"My Lord, the King is seriously ill. Everyone in the palace is looking for you. Why haven't you returned yet?"

The dissolute young man did not lie. He was indeed the eldest son of the King of Qin at that time and the first heir to the throne of Qin, Emperor Ying.

At that time, the Qin State was in great turmoil. Seeing that the former king was in poor health, Emperor Ying, as the eldest son, was about to succeed to the throne, but he suddenly disappeared.

No one expected that he would run away at this critical juncture and travel to other countries.

"I'm going to go back now. I need to see what the world is like before I know what to do in the future."

The young man put the jade pendant back into his arms and glanced at Lin Shubai lying on the ground.

"Tell my mother I'm going back now."

"I found a national teacher for myself."
