[Manor scheming rebirth + sisters swapping marriages + native woman vs. time-traveling woman + scum revenge] Xie Zhaozhao, the eldest daughter of an illustrious family, is gentle, dignified, and ra...
The way that person called him "Little Fatty" was exactly the same as someone else's. Xu Li almost immediately felt a muscle spasm in his body, and his hands involuntarily went to his head.
Yin Jin'an laughed heartily.
Gu Chongjin was even more puzzled. The other person's build was not like Yin Jin'an's; he was not as robust as Yin Jin'an.
But that expression, that tone, only Yin Jin'an had it; only that person possessed such pride and arrogance.
But he couldn't say it out loud: was the other side really a king on par with him?
He found it impossible, because he was present when Yin Jin'an died and was put into the coffin; he had seen Yin Jin'an's remains.
The person in front of me cannot be Yin Jin'an.
Even if he were, he couldn't acknowledge it in front of Chu Bubai and the others.
Xu Li, however, was not so cunning. He was just as puzzled as Gu Chongjin. He almost instantly thought of Yin Jin'an, but then immediately dismissed the idea.
"Who are you?" Xu Li asked.
Gu Chongjin interrupted his question and said to Yin Jin'an, "Your Highness, I am Gu Chongjin, Duke of Wei of Yulong Kingdom. I was ordered by Emperor An and Emperor Chen to help Western Xia defeat the foreign invaders. Since Your Highness is also here to expel the foreign invaders, and now that the Uyghurs have been eliminated, would you like to return to the capital together to meet Emperor Yangsheng?"
Yin Jin'an smiled and said, "I can go with the Duke of Wei."
Chu Bubai refused to allow Yin Jin'an to enter the capital, saying with a gloomy expression, "Duke of Wei, His Majesty has ordered that the eldest prince, who has usurped power and plotted rebellion, shall be executed without mercy."
Gu Chongjin asked calmly, "Is there an imperial edict?"
"The imperial edict has been issued and conveyed to local officials along the route."
Gu Chongjin and Xu Li both had doubts, but they also felt that their idea was absurd: there was really no connection between the Crown Prince of Western Xia and the King of the First Rank.
Age, appearance, status... nothing matches up.
However, it was that damned sense of familiarity that made them unable to extricate themselves.
Could this person be some kind of acquaintance of Yin Jin'an?
That doesn't make sense either. Yin Jin'an died fourteen years ago. The eldest prince of Western Xia was only two years old at the time, so he wouldn't have had any interaction with Yin Jin'an.
Gu Chongjin couldn't help but ask, "I wonder where His Highness the First Prince learned his clay pot thunder-making technique?"
After he finished asking, Xu Li stared intently at Yin Jin'an.
"Of course someone taught me." Yin Jin'an didn't mean to hide it, but Xu Li and Gu Chongjin were different; Xu Li was just a simpleton.
He could only look at Gu Chongjin and say, "Did Lin Danda upgrade the clay pot mine again?"
Xu Li didn't know the story behind "Lin Dan Da," but Gu Zhongjin and Xie Zhaozhao did.
Gu Chongjin's head almost buzzed. Could the person in front of him be... could it be that person?
He longed to remove his mask and see his brother's face again.
However, Gu Chongjin held back and said to Chu Bubai, "General Chu, since His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to negotiate with His Majesty, General of the Cavalry should not continue the killing. Why not bring His Highness the Crown Prince to the capital and let His Majesty decide?"
Xu Li's unease grew; he still suspected that the person opposite him was Yin Jin'an, but seeing that Gu Chongjin was no longer asking, he shut up.
With so many people around, Yin Jin'an couldn't openly declare that he was their Second Master Yin. However, he also didn't want to clash with Gu Chongjin and Xu Li's iron-handled grenades. His goal was simply to arouse Gu Chongjin's suspicion and prevent him from throwing grenades at him.
He would be unjustly killed if he were blown up by the new weapon of the Living Guanyin.
"Since the Duke of Wei has been ordered to help our Great Xia repel the Uyghurs, the external enemy is now in our grasp, so we need not trouble you with internal troubles." Chu Bubai was unwilling to let Yin Jin'an leave.
Seeing his words, Yin Jin'an said to Gu Chongjin, "Please ask Duke Wei and Little Fatty to stand aside and watch how I deal with these bastards."
Gu Chongjin pulled Xu Li away to keep their distance.
Because there were people sent by Emperor Yangsheng with them, Gu Chongjin and Xu Li could not communicate and could only suppress their doubts.
"My lord, this is so unfair!" Xu Li frowned. "The Crown Prince's men have been fighting to drive out the invaders, yet the General of the Cavalry has taken the opportunity to attack the Crown Prince. This is just too much..."
Gu Chongjin said, "The people are watching. If Emperor Yangsheng does this, he will only lose the hearts of the people."
While they were discussing, Chu Bubai and Yin Jin'an had already clashed.
"Traitor, I, the general, will fight you to the death! What are you doing with a child?"
"Even with a child, I can beat you."
"You're asking for it!"
Chu Bubai initially didn't intend to use any magic weapons. Who was the First Prince? A complete waste!
He's been a good-for-nothing since he was four years old. He's so stupid that he can't understand anything except eating, drinking, and defecating. Even if he regains his senses, his martial arts skills will never be able to compare to Chu Bubai's.
But once they clashed, Chu Bubai realized he was in trouble.
Even with a child protecting him on his chest, Yin Jin'an wouldn't lose.
Chu Bubai made several attacks, but Yin Jin'an easily blocked and dodged them. Frustrated, he stopped attacking Yin Jin'an and attacked Jiutian instead.
Since this child was always by his side on the battlefield, he must be extremely important to Yin Jin'an. So he attacked the child to see if Yin Jin'an would lose his composure.
Seeing that he was being attacked, Jiutian made a hand seal and threw out an invisible "fixation" character.
Seeing that his movements suddenly stiffened, Yin Jin'an immediately spurred his horse forward, Tang sword in hand, and made a vertical slash!
Uh, not a head chop, but an arm, a severed one!
Cut again, and another arm is severed!
Chu Bubai's guards also realized something was wrong and shouted, "General, General?"
Has the general been beaten senseless? Why isn't he fighting back? Why doesn't he try to escape?
As they shouted, Yin Jin'an spurred his horse forward again, and with a swift stroke of his Tang sword, severed Chu Bubai's leg at the root.
The other generals of the imperial court immediately rushed over, dragged Chu Bubai's mangled body, and retreated back to their own troops.
