In an instant, Lin Yu regained his composure and then slowly sat down again.
He said with great interest, "I didn't expect you to know my identity!"
"You underestimate the intelligence system of my Great Xia!"
Lin Yuanlong shook his head and said, "If I want to know, there's nothing in this world that can escape my eyes!"
"Tsk tsk, if you're so capable, why did you even ask me to come here?" Lin Yu teased.
Lin Yuanlong didn't waste any words and said directly, "Let me tell you the truth... Several years ago, Japan and the United States launched a covert war together!"
"This is destined to be a war that cannot be openly discussed!"
"But it was even more brutal! Years of fighting have caused heavy losses to my troops. I am alone in Fengfu, and I cannot hold on by myself!"
"So, Yu'er, only you can help me now!"
"Or rather, it's to help our Great Xia!" Lin Yuanlong said with a pleading expression.
"A covert war?" Lin Yu's lips curled into a slight, cold smile.
He had indeed heard about this.
Not only in Feng Prefecture, but also in other prefectures, secret battles have taken place. This is a conspiracy orchestrated by the Western world against the Great Xia!
Although this war was not out in the open, it was even more brutal and severe than what was out in the open!
It even concerns the fate of the nation for the next century!
However, Lin Yu suddenly sneered as if he had thought of something.
"I originally thought that you asked me to come here because you were overflowing with fatherly love and wanted to make up for the mistakes you made in the past!"
Lin Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Looking back now, I was just being presumptuous!"
That makes sense, though. In the eyes of a cold-blooded animal like you, everyone else is just a tool! That fits your persona!
Lin Yu suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
Lin Yuanlong sought him out because he needed his help.
The truth is a bit heartbreaking.
“That Yu’er…”
"Defending the country is your business, Commander Lin, and has nothing to do with me. I'm sorry, but I'm powerless to help!"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Lin Yuanlong immediately became anxious and shouted, "Yu'er, no matter what, you are a descendant of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is your duty to protect your home and country!"
"Dad knows it was all Dad's fault before! Dad really knows he was wrong! If you want me to apologize, I can!"
Lin Yuanlong struggled to his feet, then bent his right knee and fell heavily to the ground.
"General!!"
Two middle-aged men behind him quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
Lin Yu's pupils trembled, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
He never imagined that one day, this man, as imposing as a mountain, would kneel before him.
"You shouldn't kneel before me. No matter how wrong you are, you are my father... You should kneel before my mother!"
Lin Yu's body trembled, and his eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, "Even in her last moments, she was calling your name!!"
"What good is your apology? Can it bring my mother back to life?"
"Yu'er, Dad was wrong, Dad is so sorry!" Lin Yuanlong pleaded, tears streaming down his face, "Give me a chance to make amends, please?"
"Uncle Fu!!"
Lin Yuanlong called out, and Uncle Fu hurriedly came in from outside, holding a silver token, and handed it to Lin Yu with both hands.
Lin Yu immediately looked puzzled. He looked at the token, which was engraved with the two characters 'Futu'.
"Second Young Master, this is the token of the General's elite, the Floating Pagoda Army! This token is of a higher rank than the Tiger Tally and is the only symbol that can command the Iron Pagoda Army! Second Young Master, you must keep it safe!" Uncle Fu's old body trembled with excitement because he knew the General's intention.
This is to make the second young master the heir!
With this order, the Second Young Master is now the true Young Marshal!
Lin Yu didn't rush to answer, but frowned and asked, "Lin Yuanlong, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Yuanlong sighed: "Yu'er, all the conflicts and past hatreds stem from the power I hold!"
"Now, I'm handing it over to you!"
"From this day forward, you are the young marshal of the Buddha Army! The future King of the Northeast!"
"Stop!" Lin Yu quickly waved his hand and said disdainfully, "I don't care!"
"Don't think I don't know. Once I accept this token, I will be responsible for the Dark War! You just want to use the power of my Dragon Phoenix Pavilion!" Lin Yu sneered.
“That’s right, my Dragon Phoenix Pavilion has countless experts and assassins, but I will not joke with the lives of my brothers!” Lin Yu resolutely refused.
Lin Yuanlong shook his head and said, "The rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen! Lin Yu, you are my son, I believe you see things clearly!"
"The doctor said I have less than a month to live! If I die, who will take charge of Fengdu? When the enemy's sharp blade comes at us, are you really going to just stand by and watch the people suffer?" Lin Yuanlong asked unwillingly.
Lin Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.
He then continued to sneer.
"Heh, you've got the moral high ground all to yourself, Lin Yuanlong, you really are a cunning old fox!"
"Second Young Master..." Uncle Fu handed over the token again.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and slowly said, "I can accept this token!"
"But I have one condition!"
"You agreed?" Lin Yuanlong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "What are the conditions? Tell me!"
Lin Yu sneered: "I want to deal with the First Madam, and I don't want you to interfere!"
Lin Yuanlong's expression froze.
“Yu’er, you must know about her family background. Even I have to be wary of them. If you really kill her, Yandu will definitely not let it go! Moreover, if you want to secure your position in the future, you will need Yandu’s recognition…” Lin Yuanlong tried to persuade him.
