Chapter 76 Léon: The Professional (9) (4/5)



The money left over from a dynasty could have been enough to support him for the rest of his life if he lived frugally, and he could even live a comfortable life. Unfortunately, not only did he have a group of subordinates, but these subordinates also clamored every day to restore the Qi Dynasty. What they did every day was to urge him to shoulder the burden of restoring the Qi Dynasty, and they assassinated emperors of various countries from time to time.

Yes, all countries.

The Qi Dynasty collapsed, and various warlords fought for supremacy, which was accompanied by various peasant uprisings. The various forces were incompatible with each other, and finally a situation of five countries coexisting, namely Liang, Xiao, Chen, Li, and Nan, was formed. Even the shadow of the Qi Dynasty disappeared.

If the descendants of the old dynasty a hundred years ago had kept their heads down and lived their lives without revealing their identities, it would have been fine. In an era when there were many countries, no emperor would be foolish enough to make things difficult for someone from the previous dynasty.

Or he could really maneuver, build an army, fight wars in the south and the north, and restore the Qi Dynasty.

But this group of people only think about assassinating royal families of various countries every day, and publicize their identities as descendants of the previous dynasty everywhere, but they have no strength to fight against the armies of various countries. The original body was poisoned to death here, and I think it was done by someone who was angered by such remarks.

[It seems pretty easy at the moment.] Lin Su asked, [What is the mission of this world?]

[06 System issues tasks: Task 1: Survive as the original owner; Task 2: Change the original fate of the male supporting character, Li Yuan.]

There are many countries in this world. Whether they are at war or at peace with each other, they will be extremely cautious so as not to deplete their own resources and allow other countries to take advantage of the situation.

Among the five countries, Liang is the strongest, followed by Li. The Southern Country where the protagonist is located ranks third in strength. It can be tougher against the other two countries, but it lacks confidence when facing Liang and Li.

The protagonist, Kang Baiyu, is the legitimate son of Duke Kangguo of the Southern Kingdom. He is both talented in civil and military affairs and has a handsome appearance. He is a good candidate for making great achievements. However, when he entered the palace for a banquet, he was noticed by Emperor Yuanhe of the Southern Kingdom. Because this world has a male wife system, Emperor Yuanhe directly took her into the harem as a concubine.

She was appointed as a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, which shows that the emperor loved her very much. However, this also broke Kang Baiyu's wings. He had to compete for power with the women in the harem for survival. The more the emperor doted on him, the more the harem targeted him. He was on the verge of life and death several times. Fortunately, Li Yuan, who was the empress dowager at the time, took pity on him as a man and rescued him many times, thus saving his life.

It's a pity that Empress Dowager Li Yuan was not from the South, but the youngest son of the Empress Dowager of Li. He was originally a candidate for the throne, but because of the marriage between the two countries, he was sent directly to the South to be the empress of the late emperor. He was only twelve years old at that time. The late Southern Emperor had no interest in men, let alone a child whose hair had not even grown fully. In addition, he was old and weak, and passed away when Li Yuan was fifteen years old. The young queen was also sent to the position of empress dowager. Although she was able to help Kang Boyu once or twice, she was isolated and helpless. In the end, she died in the bargaining chips of each other during the war between the two countries.

According to the current time, it is the time when the new emperor of the Southern Kingdom ascends the throne, and the protagonist Kang Boyu has not yet encountered the disaster of his life.

The mission was announced. 06 analyzed the data and heard a hint of trepidation in the mechanical voice: [Host, this world seems to be a pitfall.]

If there were no second mission, the host could certainly live a peaceful and comfortable life, but now he has the second mission and a group of subordinates who are betraying their master.

The original body had died of poisoning or illness, and no one has discovered it now.

In the original world line, this organization that wanted to restore did not last long, because the original body died. They had no master or position to restore, so they naturally collapsed.

But now that Lin Su is here, he will probably have to deal with a wave of loyal advice from his subordinates.

Lin Su was just thinking about it when he heard a knock on the door and a voice asking, "Lin Su, Lin Su, are you awake? My dad will be here soon. If he sees you still lying in bed, he will tell you something."

The intimacy of the voice was evident. Lin Su stood up, straightened his sleeves, picked up the cup that had fallen on the ground, sniffed it with his nose, and then put it into his sleeves.

The wine jug on the table didn't smell like poison. Lin Su wiped the blood from his lips and said, "Come in."

The door was pushed back, and a young man dressed very simply and conveniently jumped in, holding a sword at his waist. He walked a few steps in front of Lin Su and said, "You took a long nap. Come on, let's go practice sword fighting, otherwise Dad will scold you again if he sees you."

He pulled Lin Su's arm and tried to pull him up, but a solemn and majestic voice suddenly rang out from the doorway: "Lu Ning, you must not be rude to the young master. What kind of words are you saying?"

The young man froze when he heard the voice. He turned around and subconsciously lowered his head and chest. His voice was as soft as a mosquito, and he was obviously very scared of the person coming. "Dad..."

"You're useless." The man put his hands behind his back and glared at Lu Ning, clearly disappointed in him. "I've never seen a son be so afraid of his father."

Lu Ning lowered his head and muttered, "I've never seen me as fierce as you."

He spoke in a gibberish manner. If Lin Su did not have good hearing and was not close to him, he might not be able to hear clearly.

But the middle-aged man who came over obviously heard it clearly, his face darkened and he said: "If you have something to say, speak loudly. Are you a woman if you keep mumbling?"

"No!" Lu Ning said loudly this time.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. He turned to Lin Su and asked, "Young Master, are you tired today?"

The middle-aged man's name was Lv Yang. In Lin Su's memory, he was the strongest and most demanding person in the entire Guangfu Voice. He was also Lin Su's master. He raised the original body and Lv Ning together, taught them how to read and write, and was a bit rigid.

He treated the original body as the young master and would only admonish him, not scold him directly like he did to Lu Ning. However, there was an obvious difference between biological children and non-biological children. No matter how much he beat and scolded Lu Ning, the emotion in his eyes was different from that towards Lin Su's original body.

Since he wanted to be a subordinate, Lin Su would not carry him up and give him an extra elder for nothing. He did not even stand up, but placed the cup in his sleeve on the table and said: "It's not that I'm lazy, but someone poisoned the wine today. Su is worried and uneasy, but he has no power to find out who poisoned it."

"Poison?!" Lu Ning was visibly shocked. "What kind of poison?"

Lu Yang's expression also changed slightly. He picked up the cup, thought for a while, took out the silver hairpin from Lu Ning's head and tried it in it. Sure enough, the hairpin showed signs of blackening.

Lu Ning wanted to complain that the hairpin wouldn't come out of his head, but when he saw the black marks on it, he was speechless: "What kind of poison is so strong?"

"It's Crane's Beak Red." Lu Yang said in a deep voice. He suddenly looked up at Lin Su and said, "What about the wine in this cup? Young Master, you won't..."

"Crane's Beak Red kills instantly. If Su drank it, he would have died by now and would not be able to talk to Master Lu here." Lin Su said.
