Chapter 108 Insects Have No Backbone
Qin Jinzhi arrived outside the city, where Li Muli had been waiting for a long time.
"Greetings, Princess!"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow and laughed out loud as if she had just thought of something.
"General Li is now worried about my safety."
Li Muli felt somewhat embarrassed, ever since Qin Jinzhi suddenly tore off her fig leaf at the last family dinner.
He became increasingly frightened as he thought about it after returning home.
He was somewhat aware of the frequent assassination attempts Qin Jinzhi had faced over the years.
Besides, enemy states wanted Qin Jinzhi's death to affect Qin's cause.
The powerful families in Jin were just as eager to kill Qin Jinzhi.
The war is now over.
According to my fourth brother, people in the court have begun to submit memorials demanding that our godfather relinquish his military power.
If her godfather passes away, Qin Jinzhi will really be in trouble.
What will become of these soldiers is hard to say.
Upon hearing that Qin Jinzhi was going to lead troops to suppress bandits, he immediately followed her.
Qin Jinzhi ignored his inner thoughts and said, "Let's go!"
When the Zhenbei Army arrived at Qihuang Mountain.
Suddenly, a shout came from the mountain: "Halt! If you dare to take a step forward, this Imperial Guard commander's life will be in danger!"
Du Chong was suspended on a steep cliff in Qihuang Mountain.
Upon seeing the army below the mountain, he immediately shouted, "Halt! Don't move! If anything happens to me, the Du family will not forgive you!"
Although this steep wall is not a bottomless cliff, if he falls down it, he will either die or be maimed!
As expected, the army did not move, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
A small white horse slowly carried a figure dressed in silver-white armor forward.
"Stop right there! Did you hear me?!"
Why does that figure look so familiar?
"Listen up, bandits on the mountain! Surrender and we'll spare your lives; resist and we'll grind your bones to dust!"
Hu Aman on the mountain felt a toothache upon hearing Qin Jinzhi's words.
If she were truly a bandit, hearing these words would only fuel his hatred, and he would be furious enough to kill her.
Du Chong couldn't believe it—it was Qin Jinzhi!
He shouted angrily, "Qin Jinzhi! Do you want me dead?! If anything happens to me, your Zhenbei Army will be held responsible!"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow after hearing this, "Am I that obvious?"
Du Chong was taken aback. "What?"
Qin Jinzhi's smile gradually widened, "I'll let you die."
The bandits on the mountain shouted, "If you take another step forward, I'll cut his rope!"
Qin Jinzhi tilted her head, wondering if these bandits were deaf or brainless.
Didn't you hear her say she wanted Du Chong dead?
Cut the rope? What does that have to do with her?
Qin Jinzhi's expression was arrogant and unruly. "Zhenbei Army, listen to my command! Attack the mountain! Annihilate all the bandits! Leave no one alive!"
"yes!"
Du Chong shouted hoarsely, "Qin Jinzhi! You will die a horrible death!"
The Zhenbei Army stormed Qihuang Mountain with lightning speed.
The bandits never expected that the people down the mountain would not care about Du Zhong's life at all.
He immediately cut the rope in a fit of rage.
"ah!!!"
Du Chong fell straight down the steep cliff.
Seeing this, Hu Aman raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and fight your way out!"
The bandits poured down!
They officially engaged in battle with the Zhenbei Army.
Qin Jinzhi waited leisurely at the foot of the mountain.
It seems like the battlefield ahead is a vegetable market.
At this moment, the bandits on the mountain spotted Qin Jinzhi behind them.
"That woman is their leader! Seize her!"
Li Muli immediately stepped in front of Qin Jinzhi to protect her.
Today, no one is allowed to harm a single hair on the princess's head.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "General Li, don't be so paranoid. They're just a bunch of rabble."
Li Muli felt there was some truth to it. His thoughts and reflections over the past few days made him tense whenever he faced Qin Jinzhi.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, almost all the bandits on the mountain were wiped out.
The bandits' leader and second-in-command were captured alive and taken down the mountain.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the two men kneeling on the horse and asked, "Why did you become a bandit in the mountains?"
The leader sneered, "The emperor is heartless, we have no way to survive but to become outlaws! Kill us if you want, stop talking nonsense."
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "I see. If I were to give you a chance to live, would you be willing to work under me?"
The two were taken aback. "Are you serious?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at the two men with a smile, and they immediately said, "We are willing to pledge our loyalty to you, please spare our lives!"
As he spoke, his head hit the ground.
Qin Jinzhi suddenly burst into laughter, "Of course it's fake."
The two were taken aback. What?
Qin Jinzhi smiled wickedly, "The one who fell off the cliff, I took their money. You've made me lose my credibility, so I have no choice but to use the two of you to make amends. Cut off their heads."
"You tricked us! You bastard!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Zhenbei Army had already chopped off the heads of the two men.
Qin Jinzhi frowned as she looked at the splattering blood.
"Drain the blood from their two heads and wrap them up, don't get my Flowing Clouds dirty."
Liu Yun snorted and stomped his foot.
Qin Jinzhi seemed to suddenly remember something, "Go to the bottom of the cliff and pick up Du Chong, don't forget his broken arms and legs."
When Du Chong was carried up, he was still alive, staring intently in Qin Jinzhi's direction, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
The body's limbs were not separated, but it lay limply to one side.
Qin Jinzhi glanced at Du Zhong, then turned to Li Muli and asked, "Do you think he looks like he's in a 'whole' state?"
Li Muli thought for a moment, "I guess so, since I'm not missing any parts."
Qin Jinzhi nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go back to the city!"
She looked back at Qihuang Mountain, which had been bloodily ravaged by the Zhenbei Army.
He was smiling, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
This motley crew, among all the officials in the court, not a single one had any backbone.
That's true, insects don't have spines.
The messenger had already returned to the city ahead of them.
"Great news! Princess Jinzhi has achieved a resounding victory in the bandit suppression! All the bandits have been wiped out!"
"Great news! Princess Jinzhi has achieved a resounding victory in the bandit suppression! All the bandits have been wiped out!"
"Great news! Princess Jinzhi has achieved a resounding victory in the bandit suppression! All the bandits have been wiped out!"
When the good news reached Yong'an Tower, Wei Lin opened the window upon hearing it.
The debate at Yong'an Tower lasted for a full two hours.
Everyone present turned pale.
This Wei Lin, killing people is as simple as beheading them.
Opening my mouth felt like countless bayonets piercing my heart.
He won't let you die a quick death; he'll slowly torture you with knives, bit by bit.
They didn't even blush for two hours.
Just as the last student said that Qin Jinzhi was completely useless.
Good news has arrived.
Wei Lin didn't even bother to answer him; he simply opened the window and looked at him with a smile.
"Gentlemen, is there anything else to say?"
The crowd was at a loss for words to refute.
Wei bowed slightly before departing. "Since everyone has nothing to say, can we consider this debate a victory for me?"
The crowd was truly unwilling to accept this outcome. If they acknowledged Wei Lin's victory, wouldn't that be tantamount to acknowledging Qin Jinzhi's qualification?
Seeing this, Wei Lin smiled and said, "Actually, whether I win or not is not important, nor are the opinions of everyone. Whether the princess is qualified to serve is only up to His Majesty to decide."
Everyone was taken aback. "Then why did you invite us to debate?"
Wei Lin dusted off his sleeves. "Having nothing to do, I wanted to see how many people in the capital were digging for crabs in the dead. Unexpectedly, they were as numerous as mosquitoes."
He smiled slightly, got up and left.
After a while, everyone present was red-faced and gritted their teeth.
So, out of sheer boredom, I cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations!
Not only that,
This guy said that all students are petty, nosy, and busybodies!
