Chapter 116 The hidden mission is up to you
Ji Yuan didn't understand what was wrong with his king. He could be so kind to a traitor who had rebelled. However, Ji Cheng didn't let him say anything, so he could only stand aside angrily.
Xu Qingming was shocked and had no idea what was wrong with him. Why did it feel so much like a dream? Yet, everything was so real because the pain in his body forced him to wake up.
"Not only can I send you back, I can also arrange for someone to rescue your family, but you can no longer be a general."
Xu Qingming suddenly looked up and looked at Ji Cheng in disbelief. The king actually knew that his family was detained and even tried to find a way to rescue his family?
"Qingming, I never believed that you would rebel against me."
Ji Cheng's words broke down Xu Qingming's only defense. He fell to his knees in front of Ji Cheng, tears streaming down his face, crying like a child.
"Your Majesty, Qingming is guilty. Qingming deserves death."
Ji Cheng shook his head. If he had not been prepared and let Ji Wuye follow King Jing, he would not know why the once loyal General Zhenhai would rebel. This Xu Qingming was a filial son.
"Qingming, do you know that this is a plot by King Jing to seize the power of the lonely soldiers?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Xu Qingming knelt on the ground, and Ji Cheng understood everything. In the end, his General Zhenhai still betrayed him.
"Xu Qingming, I will not kill you. My food and grass were burned today, and tomorrow I will go to various counties to transfer food and attack the city at the same time. I have already found out where your family is, and I will rescue them soon. However, the day the city is broken, General Zhenhai will be executed."
Xu Qingming didn't understand what he meant. Ji Cheng quietly told him and Ji Yuan about his entire plan and signaled them to make their own preparations.
In the middle of the night, flames shot up into the sky from Wang's army. A group of men in black were chased all the way back to Linhai Town by Wang's army. There was chaos inside Wang's army because all the food and grass were burned.
Ji Cheng was furious and scolded Ji Yuan, and ordered the surrounding villages and towns to send food and support as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, Ji Yuan led his troops to the gate of Linhai Town and shouted curses. The two sides immediately engaged in battle, and after both sides suffered casualties, they withdrew their troops to rest.
In the following days, various villages and towns urgently sent food and grass, and the king's army officially formed a confrontation with the rebel army. At this time, Ji Cheng had already rushed to the other courtyard where King Jing detained Xu Qingming's family, and sneaked into the other courtyard with the people of the Killing God Temple, intending to rescue them.
Ji Wuye looked at Ji Cheng in a black robe, feeling extremely puzzled. Since when did his sinister king care so much about his subordinates that he even came to rescue them in person? Just leave this kind of trivial matter to him.
King Jing arranged a lot of people in the other courtyard, all of whom were very skilled, but they were still far inferior to the martial artists in the Temple of the God of Killing. It took them only a moment to reach the courtyard and rescue Xu Qingming's old mother, wife, sister and three children.
When everyone saw that it was the king who saved the man, Xu's mother knelt on the ground and burst into tears. Xu Qingming's wife also burst into tears while supporting her mother-in-law. Only Xu Hongluan stared at Ji Cheng in a daze, as if she had seen a god.
"Your Majesty, I, Xu Hongluan, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Hongluan shyly saluted Ji Cheng. However, before she could get into position, the gods of death from the Temple of Death picked her up and took her out of the villa.
After leaving the villa, Ji Wuye had someone harness the carriage, stuffed the Xu family into the carriage, and took them back to Wang Jun’s camp.
After the Xu family was rescued, Ji Cheng did not return to the barracks, but followed Ji Wuye's lead to the place where King Jing was mobilizing troops. He looked at the uncle who was confident of victory in the dark, and felt amused.
Whether in his past life or this life, this Uncle Wang is just doing useless work.
"Ye, since Uncle Wang has already mobilized the troops, I will accept his favor. Three days later, you take the token and bring these troops to Linhai Town. I want them to see me kill the rebel general."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ji Wuye nodded and nodded, with a happy arc on the corner of his lips. When the rebellion here was quelled, he could use his military merits to get married in Youlan Valley.
Three days later, Ji Wuye suddenly broke into the military camp where Prince Jing was with the token and killed Prince Jing by surprise.
"Uncle Jing, the king has issued an order to quickly dispatch the troops to Linhai Town. Uncle Jing is old, so please stay here and have a good rest!"
Ji Wuye arrived with an unstoppable momentum, then raised the token and left with his soldiers. When he led his army to support and joined the king's army, he began to attack the city.
This siege was just a pretense. The defenders even prepared chicken blood, duck blood, and goose blood in advance. When they met Wang's army, they smeared it on their bodies and pretended to be dead.
Wang's army marched out with unstoppable force, leaving corpses everywhere. When the gate of Linhai Town was broken, Xu Qingming refused to surrender and was killed by Ji Cheng on the gate tower.
After everything was settled, Wang's army cleaned up the battlefield and moved the bodies into the city. Once the city gates were closed, a completely different scene emerged inside.
In the general's mansion, Xu's mother burst into tears after seeing her son, who was covered in blood but intact. Before Xu Qingming could recover from the surprise of reuniting with his family, a big slap hit his face.
"You are such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust bastard, how dare you rebel? Your mother gave birth to you in vain."
"mother!"
Xu Qingming was slapped, and he didn't dare to fight back. He knew his mother would not agree with his actions, but he couldn't let her get hurt. His wife and sons all started crying, and only his sister Xu Hongluan stared at the king in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Your Majesty, you must not be presumptuous."
Seeing that Xu's mother was so domineering, Ji Yuan shouted angrily, and Xu's mother stopped. Everyone looked at Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng didn't say much, waved his hand, and asked someone to take the Xu family away first, leaving only Xu Qingming. Then, he looked at him with a gloomy face.
"Xu Qingming, your mother is a sensible person. She really gave birth to you in vain."
No matter in the past life or this life, this old mother is bound to lose her son.
Xu Qingming lowered his head and said nothing. He was becoming increasingly confused about what the king in front of him was going to do.
"Now, the great general Zhenhai is dead. I will find another capable person to guard the three towns of Linhai. As for you, I have a hidden mission for you. As long as you do it with all your heart, I will treat your family well."
Xu Qingming looked up in disbelief. It turned out that the king had taken the trouble to let him act and risk his life to save his parents, not to confront King Jing, but to use him as a spy.
"Where does the king want Qingming to hide?"
Xu Qingming knew that he had changed from being controlled by King Jing to being controlled by the king. No matter who controlled him, he could not escape the fate of being controlled. However, being able to be used by the king made him feel better.
