"I……"
The old general was speechless for a moment. For the sake of Jin Suting's medicinal ingredient, the Tianshan Snow Ganoderma Lucidum, he had no choice but to agree to join forces with Helan Yinsheng.
He was conflicted. If he didn't agree, he didn't know what Helan Yinsheng would do.
After all, he is a prince. Even if he has no real power, his status is still there.
Helan Yinsheng looked at the old general leisurely, as if waiting for his next words.
The old general sighed softly and said, "Well, since I owe you, just tell me what you want me to do."
Helan Yinsheng suddenly laughed. He found this extremely amusing. "General Jin's fearless look really makes me nervous."
The old general shook his head and sighed in his heart. How could he have thought that he was a person worthy of entrusting himself to someone before, and even intended to marry Su'er to him?
Now that I think about it, Helan Yinsheng must have disguised himself too well.
"Don't worry, I don't need you to do anything yet." Helan Yinsheng smiled enough. "I haven't bothered you these past few days because you've just recovered from a serious illness. But from now on, General, remember that you are in my camp and you still have one-third of the military power."
"Military power?" It turned out that Helan Yinsheng wanted military power. "Are you really planning a rebellion?"
Helan Yinsheng walked to the window, looked at the bright sky outside, and said with his back to the old general, "Treason? The position of the ruler of Fuding Kingdom should have been my father. In which previous dynasty was there an empress in power? Treason, haha, I'm just taking back what belongs to me."
And, it's just revenge.
"Your father was willing to help the Queen Mother ascend to the throne," the old general said bitterly. "Don't you understand?"
Helan Yinsheng looked back at him and said only one sentence: "How can I understand?"
How could he understand? He hadn't even been born when Helan Qin ascended the throne. He only knew that when he was five, Helan Qin personally ordered the execution of his father, for the ridiculous reason that his father had disobeyed the Queen Mother.
Helan Qin thought he didn't understand, so he not only kept him by his side but also crowned him king.
But how could someone who witnessed his father's painful death not understand, especially since he was extremely intelligent.
He had been planning carefully for more than ten years, just to pull her out of that position one day.
Now the Yu family is the one that Helanqin trusts the most, but the Jin family is her biggest weapon.
Helan Yinsheng didn't mind taking off her weapons and armor first.
"If General Jin still has concerns," Helan Yinsheng said with a dangerous smile, slowly walking towards the old general, "my subordinates won't mind doing anything to the girl in your house."
"What do you want to do?" The old general looked at him warily.
Helan Yinsheng said, "I just wanted to remind the old general that your second young lady's life is still in my hands."
"What did you do to Wen'er?" He really didn't like Jin Xiwen's change, but she was his daughter after all.
"It's just some minor modifications," Helan Yinsheng said nonchalantly, "If the general doesn't cooperate with me, Miss Jin San will become like this too."
"So it was you who made Wen'er like this?!" The old general felt more distressed than angry.
"It's me, and it's not me." Helan Yinsheng's answer left the old general puzzled.
It was he who gave the order, but it was Frost Leaf who carried it out.
She gave Jin Xiwen a poison from Mu Han Pavilion, which allowed the person who poisoned her to control the consciousness of the person being poisoned.
Of course, he didn't tell these to the old general. This trip was just to give the old general a reminder.
The old general is loyal, but his family is more important to him, Helan Yinsheng believes.
The death of Yu Jingfeng, the sudden change of Jin Xiwen, the kidnapping of Helan Minzhi, Zhan Shaoang's return to his roots, the old general's awakening, the assassination of Helan Ruizhe...except for the affairs of Jin Suting which were beyond his control, everything was arranged by him.
Just for the old general, one-third of the military power, and the highest position.
"But General, think carefully about whether you should continue to assist the man who betrayed you since Hanshan."
After saying that, he poured himself a cup of tea, rubbed the cup with his fingertips, and found it was a little hot, so he didn't drink it.
He put it back on the table and said, "I believe the general can make a wise choice."
But he had no choice, Helan Yinsheng thought, then he waved his sleeves and left.
Not until the tea on the table had gone cold did the old general realize what kind of pirate ship he had gotten himself into.
If I help him, I will feel guilty towards Helan Qin; if I don’t help him, I still have three daughters and a son, and Wen’er’s life is in his hands.
After all, you cannot have both loyalty and family affection.
Recalling the past, when he was in Hanshan, he, Helan Qin and Nangong Si were the closest of the three. Because he was honest, the two of them always liked to tease him.
Later, they went down the mountain to gain experience. Helan Qin and Nangong Si insisted on coming to Funing, while he went to Jiangnan and met Susu's mother.
That year, he was twenty-three years old, Helan Qin was sixteen years old, and Nangong Si was eighteen years old.
They were all young men, but in that year, their destinies were all changed.
Helan Qin's original name was not Helan Qin. Her name was Han Qin, Hanshan's apprentice. Those who had no father or mother all had the surname Han.
When Han Qin and Nangong Si first arrived in Funing, they had nowhere to stay, so they pretended to be knights traveling around the world.
By coincidence, they saved the former head of the Shi family. Seeing that they had nowhere to go, the head of the Shi family invited them to be guests in his house.
Later, the emperor posted a notice, offering a reward throughout the country to find the lost princess.
The head of the Shi family saw that she looked like a lady in the palace, so he secretly sent her portrait into the palace.
When Han Qin was summoned to the palace, it was Nangong Si who accompanied her.
Later, Han Qin changed his name to Helan Qin, and even Nangong Si was given a small official position. Everyone thought that this was the end of the story, but the court could not tolerate Han Shan after all.
Imperial edicts of punishment were issued one after another, and Helan Qin was also found to be a member of Hanshan's party.
For a time, everyone in the court opposed Helan Qin's return to his ancestral home.
The emperor refused because Helan Qin was his only daughter.
So someone suggested that Helan Qin lead the troops to attack Hanshan, and if they were victorious, they would recognize the princess.
The emperor agreed, and Helan Qin and Nangong Si went together to attack Hanshan.
So there was finally a battle with Jinzhuang, and the imperial court won in the end.
Helan Qin tried his best to persuade the court to recruit Hanshan instead of killing him.
But the condition is that Nangong Si must go into battle to kill the enemy and force back the northwestern barbarians.
Less than a month later, news came that Nangong Si had returned victoriously, and Helan Qin was happy.
When she happily ran to the dungeon to tell Jin Zhuang the good news, Jin Zhuang felt that she and Nangong Si had betrayed Han Shan after all.
The doubt and estrangement in his eyes made Helan Qin feel unfamiliar, and he left later.
Hanshan was recruited, but Jinzhuang was not.
