Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

With the spread of Xia Jie's shameless remarks.

An overwhelming sense of suffocation pressed down on the chests of everyone, making it hard to breathe.

On the streets of the capital, the people were dumbfounded.

The butcher, trembling with rage, slammed his knife heavily onto the chopping board.

"What kind of logic is this! Is it wrong to win battles on the front lines?"

"Would the royal family only be happy if they suffered defeat and handed over the Great Xia empire to the northern barbarians?"

In the teahouse, the scholar smashed his teacup to pieces and cursed angrily.

"When the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked! Who would dare to risk their life for such a heartless and ruthless royal family!"

The entire court of civil and military officials outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony were completely silent.

Those officials who usually spouted righteousness and morality all had their heads bowed low at this moment.

Xia Jie's words ripped the last fig leaf from the Xia Dynasty court, exposing the darkest and most sordid methods of controlling people used by the royal family to the world.

The images continued to flow across the sky.

Faced with Xia Jie's raging barks, Lin Mo finally spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a power that struck straight to the soul.

"So, according to you, all loyal ministers in the world ultimately meet a terrible end?"

Lin Mo kicked over the armchair next to him, pressing forward relentlessly, each word piercing his heart.

"Just because they can win battles? Just because they command a large army? Just because they only know how to shed blood for the Great Xia, only know how to shield the people on the border?"

"Is being incorruptible wrong? So the Great Xia dynasty was won through corruption?"

"Did you drive away the Northern Barbarian cavalry by kowtowing in the imperial court?"

"My nine older brothers are enduring hunger and cold on the frontier, their bodies covered in scars, while you're in the capital, embracing women and drinking lavishly!"

"When the Northern Barbarian army attacked, you hid in the palace, so scared that you wet your pants and begged the Lin family army to hold them off."

"Once the Northern Barbarians are driven away, you'll feel the Lin family's contributions are too great and there's no more to reward them with, so you'll just poison them all?"

"What kind of bullshit logic is this!"

Lin Mo grabbed Xia Jie by the collar and lifted him into the air.

"You parasites, sucking the blood of border soldiers and eating the flesh of the people, and then you turn around and criticize those who protect you with swords for not knowing the rules? Go to hell!"

"Don't you understand the ways of a minister?"

Lin Mo let out a cold laugh.

"Today I'll teach you what the way of a subject truly means!"

"When a king is a blind and incompetent ruler, his subjects should slap him awake! If that doesn't work, then just smash this damned empire to pieces!"

boom!

Lin Mo's words were like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounding across the land.

Outside the Blackwater Pass, the million-strong army was in a frenzy.

The suffocating feeling that had been pressing down on his chest was instantly shattered by Lin Mo's words, replaced by a surge of hot blood rushing to his head!

"Well said!"

An old soldier suddenly raised his rifle and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Yes! If the king is a blind and incompetent fool, he should be slapped awake! If he can't be awakened, then the whole country should be destroyed!"

The young recruits next to him also roared.

Countless soldiers raised their weapons, their shouts shaking the heavens.

"Smash this world!"

"Exonerate the Lin family!"

"General Lin is mighty!"

They gazed up at the towering figure in the sky, their eyes filled with fervent reverence.

This is the person they truly want to serve! This is the wise ruler who can give them a way to live!

"To hell with royal rules!"

Meanwhile, in the capital, the people applauded and cheered.

The butcher slammed the butcher's knife down heavily on the chopping board again.

"That's great! This damn royal family should have been smashed a long time ago!"

The scholars were moved to tears.

"General Lin is truly a remarkable man! These words should be recorded in history!"

In the sky, emotions reached their peak.

Lin Mo dragged Xia Jie, who was like a dead dog, to the ten memorial tablets in front of the offering table and kicked Xia Jie in the back of the knee.

thump!

Xia Jie knelt down straight down.

"kowtow."

Lin Mo's voice was icy cold.

Just as Xia Jie was about to struggle, Lin Mo's large hand pressed down firmly on the back of his head and slammed it hard onto the bluestone slab.

boom!

A dull thud echoed from the blue brick floor, and Xia Jie's forehead was instantly pierced, blood spurting out.

"This bow is to commemorate the loyal and heroic martyrs of the Lin family!"

boom!

Lin Mo grabbed his hair and slammed it down hard again.

"This bow is a tribute to my nine brothers who died on the frontier!"

Bang! It hit the ground for the third time.

"This bow is to commemorate my father's wrongful death!"

After kowtowing three times, Xia Jie's face was covered in blood, and his eyes rolled back in his head.

Lin Mo kicked him away in disgust.

Seeing this, cheers erupted outside Blackwater Pass like a tsunami, soaring into the sky.

"That felt great! That was fucking awesome!"

"Serves him right! That damned prince deserves to be torn to pieces!"

With a roar, the formation of the million-strong army was completely thrown into chaos.

With a clang, a soldier threw away the military flag bearing the character "Xia" in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, countless weapons were thrown into the muddy water.

Upon seeing this, the Left Army Commander drew his long sword and roared angrily, "Are you rebelling?! Pick them all up!"

puff!

Before he could finish speaking, a long spear pierced through the chest of the Left Army Commander from behind.

The old soldier with the missing front tooth suddenly pulled out his rifle and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva at the fallen corpse.

"I'm rebelling against you bunch of scum!"

This shot became the fuse that ignited the powder keg.

The upheaval spread like a plague through the army.

The iron pot was overturned, and the tents were set on fire.

Amidst the splashing mud and water, the muffled thuds of spears piercing through armor echoed one after another.

The veteran who had killed the Left Army Commander wiped the hot blood from his face, raised his spear high, and shouted.

"Brothers! These officials have been embezzling our pay and exploiting our soldiers! Now they're even helping that scoundrel prince persecute loyal officials! Let's fight them!"

"Let's give it our all!"

The soldiers around him all had bloodshot eyes.

The fat captain, who usually acted arrogantly, was pinned down in a mud pit by several soldiers, his face covered in mud and water, frantically kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Don't kill me! I'll give you the money! I'll return all the embezzled military pay!"

"Fuck your mother!"

A new recruit kicked him hard in the face, and the long sword fell mercilessly, the man's head rolling into the mud and water instantly.

"You son of a bitch, Lieutenant Li! Did you embezzle my winter clothing money last year?!"

On the other side, a bearded veteran grabbed another captain by the collar and slammed his knife into his face.

The captain, his face covered in blood, struggled desperately and shouted angrily, "You dare to commit treason! You dare to commit treason!"

"I'll screw you over!"

The veteran kicked the captain in the stomach, his eyes bloodshot.

"You bunch of bastards withheld military pay and killed my brother! Today I'll take your lives!"

"Commander Zhang! It's time to settle your dirty business of abducting women!"

Nearby, several soldiers had tied their usually ruthless supervising officer tightly to a wooden stake.

"You always hide in the back during battles, now it's your turn to go into battle!"

Without hesitation, the soldiers raised their torches and set the dry firewood below ablaze.

The supervising officer's pig-like screams immediately echoed throughout the camp.

The officers, who were usually high and mighty, were now dragged into the mud pit by the angry soldiers and attacked with knives, guns, and clubs.

Blood mixed with the mud on the ground, completely staining the camp that stretched for eighty miles red.

On the city wall of Heishui Pass.

Meng Hu gripped the battlements tightly with both hands, his mouth agape enough to fit an ostrich egg.

He stared at the Central Plains army outside the city, engulfed in flames and completely consumed by infighting, his mind reeling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Qin Ruxue, standing to the side, gripped the city bricks tightly with both hands until her knuckles turned white, and two lines of clear tears silently slid down her cold cheeks.

"It's been cleared up..."

Her lips trembled slightly.

The Lin family, a family of loyal martyrs, has endured so many years of humiliation and infamy, and today, in front of everyone, their name has finally been completely washed away.

Near the chaotic central command tent outside the city.

The eunuch Wei Zhong cowered behind a grain cart, trembling like a leaf.

He looked around at the soldiers who had gone mad with rage, and listened to the deafening shouts and screams in his ears. He felt his heart and soul tremble with fear.

"It's over."

"It's all over."

"These soldiers have completely gone mad!"
