Taishi Ci's mother's eyes were filled with anxiety and sorrow. She looked at Lin Han expectantly, fearing that she would get a bad answer from him.
Lin Han just sighed.
"Auntie, let me tell you the truth. I was lying to you before. Taishi Ci is in prison now."
"Prison?"
Taishi Ci's mother was shocked, but then relieved, as if this answer was better than she had imagined.
"Why is he imprisoned? Wasn't he rescued from Gongsun Du?"
"King Xia knew that he had outstanding martial arts skills and wanted to appoint him as a general. He said that Xia was not Han and that if he was loyal to Xia, he would be despised by others." Lin Han said.
"How could this be?" Taishi Ci's mother was filled with worry and discontent. "Foolish loyalty, foolish loyalty! If it can save the people from disaster, how can it be despised by others?"
"Auntie doesn't care about Xia?"
"The King of Xia is from the Central Plains, and his generals and soldiers are all Han people. How can he be considered an outsider? Now there is no emperor in the Central Plains, the princes are divided, and the people are living in misery. The King of Xia loves the people. If he can make the Han land as stable as Yuyang, and bring stability to the people, what's wrong with changing the emperor?" Taishi Ci's mother sighed.
"Auntie, you are so kind." Lin Han bowed and said, "I'll think of a way to let you meet Ziyi."
"Is it really possible?" Taishi Ci's mother asked nervously.
"Of course you can, Auntie, you need to wait a moment."
After saying that, Lin Han turned and left.
…
In prison, Taishi Ci continued to sit cross-legged, his mind deep in meditation. Soon, the silence was broken. He knew the King of Xia was coming, but he didn't open his eyes.
"Let's go."
A familiar voice.
When Taishi Ci opened his eyes, he saw Lin Han's calm face. During this period, he could see Lin Han once every few days. Seeing Lin Han's sincerity and persistence, if he had not minded the difference between Xia and Han, he would have surrendered long ago.
"Let's go to the execution ground." Lin Han said.
"Will King Xia see me off personally?" Taishi Ci said calmly.
"I guess so."
"It's my great honor." Taishi Ci stood up and left with the jailer with firm steps.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Lin Han followed him and said, "Follow me and achieve unparalleled fame. Why wouldn't you agree?"
"The difference between Han and Xia?"
"What about the Qin and Han dynasties? What about the Qin and Chu dynasties? What about the Shang and Zhou dynasties? What's the difference?"
Taishi Ci paused, unable to refute.
After a long moment, Taishi Ci followed the jailer who was escorting him to a halt and sighed. "A true man, born in troubled times, should carry a three-foot sword and accomplish unparalleled feats. Now that my ambition has been unfulfilled, how can I die?"
Before he could finish his sigh, Taishi Ci was stunned when he saw the jailer uncuffing him.
Looking up and seeing a familiar figure in front of him, his determined gaze and body suddenly trembled, and he knelt on the ground in full view of everyone.
"Mom, the child is unfilial."
Seeing this scene, Lin Han waved his hand, signaling the jailer to go back, and took the others away.
"Are you going to let him go, Your Majesty?" Zhou Cang looked back at Taishi Ci, who was hugging his mother and crying, and asked in confusion.
"Yes and no." Lin Han shook his head and said, "Taishi Ci is loyal and filial, and has extraordinary martial arts skills. He is a rare talent. Letting him go is like taking him in."
Zhou Cang thought about it and was sure that he couldn't understand the meaning.
"How is the training of the Imperial Guard?" Lin Han asked.
"There has been progress." Speaking of training, Zhou Cang was no longer confused and said, "The Yellow Turban warriors are all very talented. They are training the Imperial Guard very quickly and have already developed military bearing."
"Okay, they will be the guards protecting the imperial city in the future, so they can't let their guards down."
"Yes." Zhou Cang nodded.
The two of them walked further and further apart.
Three days later, when Lin Han was in Yuyang County Government preparing for the next step, he heard a noise outside the door.
But Zhou Cang came in with Taishi Ci. The latter no longer looked like a prisoner. He looked extremely handsome, with a firm and sharp gaze. His handsomeness was comparable to Zhao Yun.
When releasing him, Lin Han told him that if he wanted to leave, he would not keep him, but he could take his mother away. If he wanted to stay, there would be high-ranking officials and generous salaries waiting for him.
The choice is in Taishi Ci's hands. All we can say is that he has a good mother.
"Have you thought it through?" Lin Han asked.
"I've made up my mind." Taishi Ci nodded firmly, clasping his fists and kneeling. "Taishi Ci of Donglai, I am willing to serve the king."
"System prompt: Players, please take note. The top-notch general, Taishi Ci, is willing to follow you. Do you agree?"
"agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
