Lin Kai felt that this was going too far.

After all, if we don't mention it at the beginning, we don't count the middle, and we forget about the end.

In name only, you are a general from the previous dynasty, and I am a general from the current dynasty. According to normal logic, aren't you trying to climb the social ladder by associating with me?

The Great Qian Enyi Earl of Shen Teyao > the Third-Rank General of Dali...

I glanced around out of the corner of my eye, but I didn't see that figure I so desperately wanted to see at the doorway.

"Reporting to the noble lady of the Guo family, this humble official only wishes to fight on the battlefield, and I have always felt that a general should be..."

Lin Kai took a deep breath and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Upon hearing this, Guo Qingcheng's phoenix eyes widened, seemingly quite surprised.

next moment.

Just as Guo Qingcheng parted her red lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

"Lin Kai, you're wrong. People should face themselves squarely and accept their fate."

"I started as a lowly border soldier, and thanks to the kindness of the two late emperors, Anzong and Lingzong, I rose to the rank of Earl of Enyi and now command 100,000 troops in the southern border of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"But seeing the people suffering in the late Daqian era, I was deeply saddened. So when the Great Ancestor of Dali raised an army and tried to persuade me to surrender, I had no choice but to..."

Guo Congji, who was sitting in a chair next to him, waved.

Lin Kai: ?

Looking at Guo Congji's serious expression and listening to his earnest words of advice, Lin Kai suddenly felt a little lost.

"Yes, Grandpa is right."

"Brother Lin Kai, have you ever thought about what I would do if you died on the battlefield one day?"

Guo Qingcheng, who was standing to the side, nodded and added.

...

Objectively speaking, Guo Qingcheng's address of "Brother Lin Kai" was sincere.

After all, that's the feeling of being moved.

However, after persistently brewing a cup of tea, she discovered that Lin Kai was consistently avoiding the question and subtly rejecting her.

"Lin Kai! What exactly do you mean?!"

"Do you really have to wait until the imperial decree arrives before you know what regret truly means?"

"I, Guo Qingcheng, am the eldest granddaughter of an earl. Am I not worthy of a third-rank general like you?"

Guo Qingcheng pointed a jade-like finger at Lin Kai, her pretty face filled with murderous intent as she spoke.

"..."

Lin Kai's lips twitched slightly, then he clasped his hands in a respectful bow.

Pah! I want to fight and have fun, not live off a woman!

But what exactly is Choi Ki doing...?

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the front door of the hall and found that the figure he was "longing to see" was still nowhere to be seen.

"Mr. Lin thanks Lord Guo for his kindness, but Mr. Lin has a reason to..."

Lin Kai looked at Guo Congji and spoke seriously.

But Lin Kai hadn't finished speaking.

"Stop gloating over yourself, pshaw! Get down there!"

A clear, cold shout rang out.

Upon hearing this...

Lin Kai: ? →!

next moment.

"Clang!"

As the longsword was drawn from its scabbard.

"Pfft!"

A cold glint flashed, and then blood splattered onto the pillar.

...

"Really..."

Lin Kai glanced at the pop-up data panel and curled his lip.

I originally wanted to play it safe, since it would be troublesome if it sparked a mutiny, but what you said...?

"Pooh!"

Lin Kai glanced one last time at Guo Congji and Guo Qingcheng, who were lying on the ground clutching their necks, their eyes wide open in death, and spat again.

I inwardly scoffed at it.

"never mind……"

Lin Kai turned around.

"Although I suffered some psychological attacks, the reward is pretty good."

"At least my vision is much clearer now... I can even see the veins on a leaf three meters away..."

Lin Kai sheathed his longsword and walked towards the door.

But there's something really strange.

Even though I killed Guo Qingcheng, his words are still deeply etched in my mind like a printing press.

Lin Kai was a little confused.

...

As Lin Kai walked out of the front hall, he saw Cui Ji rushing over.

Although Lin Kai had some reservations about Cui Ji's efficiency, he still gave the order directly, considering the tasks he needed to complete.

This included taking control of the former Daqian soldiers and dispatching 300 soldiers to surround the Guo residence.

It continued until nearly Shen Shi (3-5 PM).

After dealing with the group of "former Daqian soldiers", Lin Kai rode his horse toward the Guo residence.

He glanced at the magnificent mansion in his line of sight.

"Hmm? Guo Qingcheng's maid is bothering you?"

Turning his head to look at Cui Ji, Lin Kai raised his eyebrows.

"That's right. That woman named Guo Sisi kept making a scene, saying she was going to report it to the authorities. And when she saw the people in the Lin family preparing to close the gates, she became even more certain that the Lin family had something to hide..."

Choi Ki, who was leading the horse, turned his head and spoke earnestly.

"Why did you report this to the authorities? You might..."

"Reporting to Young Master, Guo Sisi accidentally fell into the water while touring the Lin residence after arriving there. A servant of the Lin family heard her cries for help and rescued her..."

"Isn't this a good thing? Then why did she...?"

"After Guo Sisi was rescued, she said that the servant had been groping her during the rescue and was molesting her."

"..."

"According to the laws of Dali, if an adult male commits an indecent assault, he shall be punished with at least thirty strokes of the cane and then imprisoned for three months."

"..."

"When I arrived, I had the servants tie Guo Sisi up, but without the young master's orders, I dared not make any decisions on my own."

He stopped and bowed slightly.

"..."

Meeting Cui Ji's gaze, Lin Kai's lips twitched slightly.

I hesitated for a moment.

"We'll discuss Guo Sisi's matter tonight."

"Once we have control of the Guo family, we can kill anyone who resists."

Lin Kai spat and spoke viciously.

...

Now, six thousand men have become Lin Kai's private army.

Since Lin Kai had given the order, everything naturally went smoothly.

The remaining people in the Guo family were confused, but they couldn't make any waves.

Although the bloodshed intensified, shouts and curses also rose and fell.

This continued until near the hour of You (17-19 PM).

"Three hundred thousand taels of gold, four million taels of silver..."

Lin Kai frowned as he looked at the account book that Cui Ji had brought over.

"In addition, 36 land deeds were also found in the Guo family's storeroom..."

Lin Kai's eyebrows furrowed even more.

"And they even found a thousand suits of armor, almost brand new, in a side room of the Guo residence?"

Lin Kai's pupils widened as he read the last part.

"Oh well...it's all mine now anyway..."

"With so much gold and silver, and so much land, I have enough to do other things..."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Kai closed the ledger.

He pondered for several breaths.

As a vague plan took shape in Lin Kai's mind.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

Accompanied by urgent shouts, Cui Ji rushed towards Lin Kai from the side path.

"What is it?"

Looking at Cui Ji, Lin Kai raised his chin.

"I found this in Guo Sisi's bedroom!"

As he jogged, Choi Ki pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.

"? Could it be that you also...?"

"Young Master, you misunderstand. It's mainly this letter that revealed a startling truth!"

"Oh?"

"Guo Sisi's childhood sweetheart is the garrison commander of Zhenping City!"

Cui Ji ran up to Lin Kai and spoke excitedly.

Lin Kai: ?

Guo Sisi is... oh, Guo Qingcheng's maid.

So, having soldiers, money, land, and a count, and having a granddaughter's maidservant as a garrison commander of a neighboring city, he chose to complain after being humiliated by the enemy.

Don't you think I'll regret it once the imperial edict arrives?

"Young Master, how is it? Has this greatly helped your rebellion?"

Cui Ji leaned forward slightly, poked his head out, and looked at Lin Kai with a smug expression.

Upon hearing this...

"Well done."

Lin Kai nodded and patted Cui Ji on the shoulder.

Although a garrison commander only has a force of nearly a thousand men.

But Lin Kai was still happy to avoid the drain on his resources.

"Anything that can help the young master is fine..."

Meeting Lin Kai's gaze, Cui Ji spoke up with a smug look on his face.

He was only halfway through his sentence.

"Report! General! 26 salt permits were found on Guo Qingcheng's bed!"
