Chapter 78 Chapter 78
As Yinyou spoke, he walked towards Yin'e with a ferocious smile, holding the whip in his hand.
Little Chengzi watched Yinyou's movements, then glanced at Yin'e's pale face. He quickly took two steps forward, grabbed his arm, and said to him, "Master, if you hit him now, he'll die, and you won't be able to vent your anger. For the sake of long-term planning, you have to hold back for now."
When Yinyou heard his words, a hesitant expression appeared on his face, and he looked at Yin'e.
Yin'e immediately understood what he meant. With a pale face and heavy breathing, he said to Yin'e incoherently, "Fifteen...you...you'd better not fall into my hands!"
His frail appearance made it clear that he was seriously injured.
Lin Qi watched the struggle on Yinyou's face and chuckled softly, saying, "Don't worry, Fifteenth Prince. I've already given him the best medicine. It should help him recover in two days. If we attack him now, he might not die, but torturing him for two more days would be difficult."
At this point, his gaze fell on Xiao Chengzi, and he chuckled and said, "But I did notice something sensible. Why is this eunuch beside the Fifteenth Prince so worried about the Tenth Prince?"
When Little Orange heard Lin Qi's words, he immediately glared at him and said angrily, "Although the Tenth Prince is a bad person, he is a brother of my master. If my master really beats someone to death, he will be charged with fratricide. Even if it comes to that in the future, he will be criticized."
"He can be killed by anyone, but not by my master!"
He glared at Lin Qi and said angrily, "You are the bad guy! You actually persuaded my master to kill his brother. This is the real heinous crime!"
Xiao Chengzi's words directly resolved the crisis of Yinyou taking action against Yin'e, and also brought the conflict to Lin Qi.
Yinyu's expression was somewhat solemn. He sneered at Lin Qi and said, "Is this what you have in mind? You want to find something to hold against me so that you can use the emperor's orders against the princes in the future?!"
"Although there are no princes now, you still want me to be a puppet?!"
As he said this, the anger on his face grew more and more intense, and murderous intent began to flash in his eyes.
Although Lin Qi wasn't afraid of Yinyu, he was exposed and quickly explained, "Fifteenth Prince misunderstood. I just wanted him to vent his anger. But now that he's afraid of being harmed in the future, I'll leave Tenth Prince behind. After he's vented his anger, I'll send him to the imperial mausoleum. This will allow Tenth Prince to live, and I'll convince you that I absolutely don't have the intentions you claim."
He looked at Yinyu sincerely after he finished speaking.
However, she had a different opinion of Yinwei in her heart. This Fifteenth Prince was simple-minded and looked very shrewd, but after gaining his trust, she could easily gain the right to speak, just like Xiaochengzi.
Thinking of this, his heavy heart slowly relaxed.
Using the Tenth Prince to test the Fifteenth Prince's background was absolutely the right thing to do.
Yinyu glanced at Yin'e with the whip in hand and said to Sun Qi, "Sun Qi, take the Tenth Prince away. Wait a few days and let me know when his injuries are almost healed."
After saying this, he grinned at Yin'e and said, "Don't blame me for seeking revenge, brother. Who made you bully me since we were little? If you had been nicer to me, I might not have hurt you. What a pity!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and sat on a chair beside him, the smile on his face becoming brighter.
Sun Qi's movements were not polite at all. He walked in front of Yin'e, pressed his arm hard, and pulled him out.
After Yin'e left, his facial expression returned to normal. Although his face was still pale, it looked much better than before when there was no blood at all. He lowered his voice and asked Sun Qi, "What on earth is going on?"
Sun Qi glanced around, and after making sure no one was around, he explained to him, "Tenth Prince, I don't know about Fifteenth Prince's affairs, but you are a prisoner now, so don't think I'll treat you well. If anyone finds out, Fifteenth Prince will suffer along with you."
Yin'e listened to his words and tactfully kept silent.
It was beyond his expectation that Yinyou could come here and rescue him from the Colosseum.
Although he has to endure some hardship and suffering now, he doesn't have to compete with those beasts without any intelligence. According to Fifteen, he may be whipped a few times in a few days.
He could still bear these few whippings.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and cooperated very well with Sun Qi's actions.
Yin Yu took a sip of tea and chuckled, saying, "Lin Qi, I'll tell you the truth. My father asked me to come here to investigate the destruction of villages around Junggar. Since you know so much, you should know about this as well, right?"
"If you help me build my career, I will definitely not treat you unfairly when I ascend to the throne."
Lin Qi looked at the expression on Yinyu's face, and after a moment's silence, he said to him, "Yes, I know. It was done by the Russian Empire and the royal family of the old Junggar. They heard there was a gold mine in Junggar City, so they sent people here. Their main purpose was to capture Junggar City and, by the way, catch all the people sent by Kangxi, the emperor, in one fell swoop."
Having said this, he looked at Yinyu and continued, "But now that the Fifteenth Prince has arrived, those people can be eliminated directly. It would be better for us to have our own people in charge of Junggar than for them to be in charge."
Yinyou nodded and said, "You are right. My eldest brother and his men are on their way. My fifth and tenth brothers arrived first. Since you have captured my tenth brother, do you have any news about my fifth brother and his men?"
"If there are any, try to capture as many as possible and strive to eliminate all the people around Tsarist Russia. If you can do that, if I can take the credit for my eldest brother's achievement this time, maybe I can be made a prince."
"If we take a step forward then, it will be easier."
Lin Qi nodded to Yinyu, then knelt on one knee in front of him and said devoutly: "Yes, I am willing to go through fire and water for the fifteenth prince, no matter what!"
Yinyu looked at the expression on Lin Qi's face and glanced at Xie Lin who was standing beside him.
Xie Lin saw Lin Qi's movements and met their eyes. He suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yin Yu, saying, "This servant is willing to be loyal to the Fifteenth Prince!"
He had a feeling that if he didn't speak up, he might die suddenly.
Yinyu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, now that we have agreed, let's get started."
After everyone left, Sun Qi asked in confusion, "Master, have Xie Lin and Lin Qi both defected to us?"
What on earth did the Fifteenth Prince mean? He was a little confused for a moment.
If these two people really surrender, how can they take action against them then?
If I hadn't surrendered, I would have pledged my allegiance just now.
Yinyu put down his teacup, glanced at Sun Qi, and chuckled, saying, "All this talk of surrender is fake, just testing each other."
"I am just a bet made by Lynch. If it works out, he will be very successful. If it doesn't, it won't have much impact on him."
At this point, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and then he said to Sun Qi, "But Xie Lin is a talent we really need to be wary of. He has been operating in Junggar for many years, and he is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Xiao Chengzi and asked, "Xiao Chengzi, go back and contact Xue San and find out what Xie Lin is planning. Seeing how decisive he was today, I feel like he's up to something."
Since Xie Ling came here, he gave him a timid feeling, but the shrewdness that kept flashing in his eyes made him feel that Xie Ling was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
It's just that he doesn't have any evidence now.
When Little Orange heard this, he bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I will ask Xue San right away."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Sun Qi and asked, "Sun Qi, you just sent the Tenth Prince over. Did the Tenth Prince say anything?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Qi said to Xiao Chengzi, "No, it was too short. I was afraid of being noticed by others, so I didn't ask any more questions."
Upon hearing this, Little Orange said to Yinyu, "Xue San mentioned before that the Tenth Prince seemed to know something. We can't ask too much now. If we ask too much, Xie Lin might find out. But if we don't ask, we'll lose some information."
Yinyu nodded and chuckled, "It's okay, just wait a few days and I'll do it."
After he finished speaking, he sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with a bright smile on his lips.
Three or four days passed in the blink of an eye. Yin'e lay in the woodshed, eating only bran and vegetables. He looked at the steamed bread in his hand and couldn't help cursing, "You bunch of slaves who look down on others with your dog eyes! When I get out, I'll break all your dog legs. You only feed me this little every day. Who the hell are you?!"
As he said this, he took a bite of the steamed bread viciously, staring at the people outside with a ferocious expression on his face.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Yinyu stood there against the light, mocking him, "Tenth brother, you are now a prisoner. A prisoner actually wants to eat good food, what are you thinking?!"
As he spoke, the whip in his hand tapped lightly against his palm, and his eyes stared down at Yin'e condescendingly.
When Yin'e saw Yin'e's expression, his face suddenly became a little flustered. He took two bites of the steamed bread, moved back a little and said to him: "Fifteen, you don't want to hit me, do you? You should know what I will do to you after I get out?!"
Yinyou threw the whip in his hand and hit him directly on the arm.
Yin'e suddenly let out a scream. He held his arm with his hand and threatened Yinyu: "Are you crazy? You actually hit me. Be careful, the emperor will break your legs when he gets back!"
Yinyu listened to his words and lowered his voice and said, "Let me hit you a few times, and I'll ask Xiao Chengzi to bring you some meat."
When Yin'e heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened. He looked outside a few times and nodded at him.
Then he lowered his voice and said to Yinyu, "Fifteen, be careful of Xie Lin. Fifth brother and the others went out with Xie Lin, and then there was no news. Xie Lin told me that they went to chase those Tsarist Russian soldiers."
"I didn't believe it, so I went out to chase him. As soon as I left the city, he lost consciousness. When I woke up, he was already in the Colosseum."
When he said this, Yinyu whipped him with a whip, causing him to scream. He then continued, "I suspect he, Xie Lin, and the Colosseum owner definitely know each other."
