Lin Yu ignored Xu Chengyi's roar.

He continued speaking to Xu Junwei, "Given your good behavior in prison, you now have a chance to redeem yourself. We can let you out early!"

Xu Chengyi was stunned for a moment. He thought Lin Yu was going to do something bad and try to sow discord between him and his son.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be releasing his son from prison.

Xu Junwei's face lit up with joy, and he straightened up again. "Please give your instructions, Commander!"

Lin Yu glanced at Feng Jiu, who then stepped forward and said, "Currently, the Protectorate Garrison is short of a captain. You should go there to gain some experience. As autumn and winter approach, the Protectorate becomes a bitterly cold place, and the daily training is extremely arduous. I don't know if you can endure it!"

Xu Junwei trembled with excitement and immediately saluted: "Don't worry, Chief Commander, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

During this time, although Xu Junwei was in prison, he was often transferred out by Feng Jiu to train with the warriors of the Dark Division.

Feng Jiu originally intended to mess with him, but she didn't expect that this guy had such a strong will and wasn't inherently bad. So she decided to try to reform him.

The results of the nearly two-month renovation are quite evident.

At this moment, Xu Chengyi was stunned.

Captain?

His son actually became a captain!

That's equivalent to the rank of deputy legion commander!

Although he was the Marquis of Guanzhong and held the title of local military supervisor, he actually had no real power. He had previously wanted his son to gain experience in the army, but he had no connections to do so.

But unexpectedly, Lin Yu, his enemy, actually pushed his son.

The feelings I have at this moment are truly a complex mix of emotions.

At that moment, the warden came over and opened the cell door.

Xu Junwei turned to look at his father, his eyes reddening, and said, "Dad, my childhood ambition was to be a soldier, and now that wish is about to come true! Don't worry, I will definitely make great achievements and bring glory to the Xu family when I go to the Protectorate!"

"Good! Good! Son, Dad believes in you, Dad believes in you!!" Xu Chengyi was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Xu Junwei nodded emphatically, and then, led by the warden, they walked out together.

At this moment, only Lin Yu, Xu Chengyi, and another person remained.

Xu Chengyi looked at him, his gaze still wary. "Lin Yu, you little brat, you sent my son to your Fengtian Army, presumably to better control my Xu family, right? Heh, you're truly wicked!"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Don't assume everyone is as bad as you! I only heard from Feng Jiu that your son has great potential and is a good candidate for the military, so I wanted to give him a chance! Do you think everyone is like you, only concerned with their own interests and disregarding the common people!"

Xu Chengyi's old eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Aren't you the same? You want to get a letter of recommendation from me, isn't it all for the sake of becoming the commander-in-chief? You're no more noble than me!!"

Lin Yu shook his head dismissively, "I really don't care about the position of commander-in-chief. If I wanted to take over Yandu, it would be a matter of a snap of my fingers!"

"I'm returning to Great Xia for two reasons: first, to avenge my mother's death; and second, to lead the covert war, keeping the enemy at bay and ensuring their annihilation no matter how far they may be! You'll never see the position I hold!"

"You're only fit to follow behind these shrewish parasites of the aristocratic families, eating scraps and leftovers! As a marquis, I truly feel sorry for your ancestors; to say another word to you is an insult to me!"

After saying this, Lin Yu snorted and turned to leave with Feng Jiu.

Xu Chengyi stood there, his old body trembling.

He had thought that Lin Yu would try to negotiate with him because of his son's enlistment, but he didn't.

In that brief moment, he saw disdain, indifference, and mockery in the other person's eyes.

He was a worldly man, and he understood that the other party wasn't being pretentious; they genuinely didn't take his letter of recommendation seriously.

What he called leverage was nothing but a joke in the eyes of the other party.

thump!

The next moment, he suddenly knelt down.

"Young Marshal, please wait!"

Lin Yu and Feng Jiu paused for a moment and slowly stopped in their tracks.

Xu Chengyi choked up and said, "Young Marshal, I, Old Xu, have been confused and have been going against you all along! I was wrong! If I am guilty, please punish me, but I only hope that you will not punish my son! I only hope that he can live a peaceful life, even if he is just an ordinary citizen. I don't want him to be involved in the power struggles of the warlords again. I hope you will grant my request!"

As he spoke, he shakily pulled an envelope from his pocket.

"Here is the letter of recommendation. Please take it!"

In fact, he had prepared this letter of recommendation long ago and kept it on him as a bargaining chip.

But he knew that if he didn't use this bargaining chip today, he might never need to use it again.

Tap, tap, tap!

Lin Yu waved his hand, and Feng Jiu walked back and took the letter of recommendation from Xu Chengyi.

At this moment, Lin Yu spoke up, "I always keep my word. I have never had any designs on Xu Junwei, you can rest assured about that! Moreover, I can assure you that as long as he is outstanding enough, he will definitely restore the glory of your Xu family in the future. In short, he will be better than you, his muddle-headed father!"

brush!

As soon as he finished speaking, three silver needles shot out and landed firmly on three acupoints on Xu Chengyi's head.

Xu Chengyi's old body trembled, but he did not resist. Instead, he closed his eyes with a trembling voice.

He thought Lin Yu was going to give him a quick death.

The next second, a cool sensation, like an electric current, rushed into his brain.

The heaviness that was originally caused by the headache melted away like an iceberg.

After a moment, Lin Yu waved his hand, and the silver needles were put away.

Xu Chengyi slowly opened his eyes and looked over in disbelief.

Lin Yu then spoke calmly, "Your madness has been cured. Don't stay up late anymore. Take good care of yourself, and you'll have a good old age!"

"You...you're not going to kill me?" Xu Chengyi found it unbelievable.

Lin Yu snorted, "You value your dog's life too much! Besides, you've killed quite a few people because of this disease, even your own wife. Letting you die is too lenient. The best punishment for someone like you is to live a wretched life!"

"Spend the rest of your life repenting!"

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he led Feng Jiu and strode outside.

Xu Chengyi slumped to the ground, his face blank, only mournful sobs could be heard.
