Chapter 270: Asking for help requires a proper attitude

"Atonement for sins with merits?" Xiao Jin sneered.

"I was wronged, how could I be guilty of anything?"

"Yes, yes, you are innocent. The emperor has also said that he wants the minister to review the case and clear my cousin's name as soon as possible."

Xiao Jin sat down on the bench and said expressionlessly: "It's good here. I don't want to go back and do this meritorious service."

Zhu Lin looked around the room. There was nothing inside except a brazier and a few tables and chairs. Not good!

"Cousin, as long as you win the battle and return, you will still be a prince with fine clothes and delicious food, which is much better than being here."

"Is it better than here?" Xiao Jin stood up, walked out and jumped on his horse.

Seeing this, Zhu Lin hurriedly followed, pulled Jiang Yang's horse and rode on it, following Xiao Jin closely.

Zhu Lin followed Xiao Jin and walked all the way there, feeling shocked. The buildings here were magnificent, and the momentum was no less than that of the capital. How could Xiao Jin build such a place in such a short time? Zhu Lin thought it was impossible. After all, the traces of erosion by wind and rain on these buildings were still very obvious. If they were brand new buildings, there would be no traces left.

Xiao Jin rode back to the palace on horseback.

Zhu Lin was even more surprised when he saw the palaces standing in rows halfway up the mountain, and immediately dismounted from his horse.

The man in black guarding the door saw Zhu Lin approaching and stepped forward to stop him.

Xiao Jin signaled them to move aside.

Zhu Lin continued to move forward, looking at the imposing palace, his mind full of curiosity, "Cousin, cousin, where on earth is this place?"

"You can also enjoy the luxurious living you mentioned here."

When Xiao Jin walked into the main hall, he saw Su Ying sitting cross-legged on a chair eating sweet potatoes.

She heard the noise and looked up, seeing Xiao Jin coming in, and subconsciously held the sweet potato in her hand tighter.

Xiao Jin walked over to her and sat down. Su Ying said, "If you want to eat, ask someone to get it for you. Don't even think about snatching it from me."

Zhu Lin followed in and took a look at Su Ying who was sitting there, his eyes widened in shock.

Su Ying looked at Zhu Lin and thought that this guy looked familiar, but she couldn't remember him for a moment. "Who is he?"

"From the State of Chu." Xiao Jin said lightly.

Su Ying suddenly realized, "The second city of Chu State has been captured?"

"kindness."

"How lame! If I came to ask you for help, why don't you have any manners and come here empty-handed?"

Xiao Jin frowned at this and looked at Zhu Lin, "You came here empty-handed?"

Zhu Lin was stunned. "Yes, do you want to bring anything?"

"Are there any valuable ones?"

Zhu Lin felt around his body and pulled out a small bag of silver and a jade pendant. "Are these enough?"

Su Ying looked away with some disdain, "What do you think?"

Zhu Lin looked at Su Ying and found it more and more incredible. "Are you Su Ying?"

Su Ying finished eating the sweet potato in her hand and looked at Zhu Lin seriously, "Zhu Lin?"

Zhu Lin nodded, and then he heard her say to Xiao Jin: "Why is it your sissy cousin?"

Zhu Lin: Thank you, I am offended.

"I'm a serious man."

Su Ying glanced at Zhu Lin, then looked back at Xiao Jin and said, "Your father still doesn't value you enough. You still go back to fight him? If he gets upset later, will he kick you out again?"

Zhu Lin understood what he said, "The Emperor has already had someone overturn my cousin's case."

"If you didn't want him to go back and fight the South Country, could you have overturned his conviction?"

Zhu Lin choked. He felt that Su Ying had changed just now. Except for the same face, no, the face had changed in subtle ways, especially the sharpness between her eyebrows. Could that be what the idiot before had?

Su Ying tapped the table with her fingertips. "Since you are here to ask for help, then show some attitude. Ask your border commander to come over and personally invite the person over. Then hand over the military power to Xiao Jin. Maybe he will consider it."

Zhu Lin wanted to say that you are so arrogant, but when she met Su Ying's slightly lowered eyebrows and indifferent look at him, she felt that they were serious.

"cousin……"

"Your cousin's wife has the final say." Xiao Jin interrupted him.

Zhu Lin looked at the two of them and felt that something must have happened between them that he didn't know about. The relationship between Su Ying and Xiao Jin was not like this before.

"Cousin, I'm so hungry and tired. Can you give me a place to rest? Those Southern soldiers were so scary just now." Zhu Lin felt that he needed to find out the source of the change in a roundabout way.

Xiao Jin did not refuse. He was no longer a Chu citizen. Even if the third city of Chu was captured, he would not be the one who was anxious.

Xiao Jin asked the man in black to clear out a room and accommodate Zhu Lin and his men.

After everyone left, Su Ying asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

Xiao Jin drank a sip of hot tea before saying, "Didn't you just say that?"

Su Ying frowned, "I just said it casually."

"I took it seriously."

Is it so exciting to let the head coach leave the field during wartime?

Xiao Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with Lian Shen leaving. He had been with him before and he knew his abilities well. He was reckless and warlike and had some skills, but not much. If he was appointed as the commander-in-chief, he would be no better than a brave general.

After Zhu Lin was sent out of the hall, he ran to Jiang Yang.

"Jiang Yang, come here, I have something to ask you."

Jiang Yang glanced at him and subconsciously took a step to the side, "Master Zhu, just say whatever you want to say." He really didn't have a good impression of this cousin, for no other reason than that he was too feminine, cried all the time, looked ignorant with his red rabbit eyes, but was full of evil intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to climb to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Justice at such a young age.

"Jiang Yang, you've changed." Zhu Lin looked hurt. "You clearly said you would cut Su Ying into pieces, but look at you now. You actually obey her orders. Tell me, how did she bribe you?"

"What the hell, she bribed me for something, if she hadn't changed, I would have definitely killed her, but she is different now, if you don't understand, stop talking nonsense."

Zhu Lin was still angry and said, "Why is she different? She still has the same nose and eyes. Could she be replaced by someone else?"

"Hey, it's really the same as the other one. If it weren't for the city lord, we wouldn't be able to get to this place alive. You haven't seen how powerful the city lord is. Don't stir up trouble here. If you don't like it, go back to where you came from."

Zhu Lin was unwilling to say, "According to what you said, my cousin will listen to her now?"

"yes."

Zhu Lin's fair face fell, "If I had known, I would have brought more goodies for my cousin's wife. I'm so tired. I'm going to rest for a while."

Jiang Yang curled his lips in disdain, and when he turned around he saw Lin Zhuyu looking at him with even more disdain.

Jiang Yang paused, and saw that she was feeling uncomfortable all over, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhuyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stupid, you don't even know that someone has already tricked you."
