The day passed quickly, and the three of them stayed in the room. The rebels regularly brought food and water to the three of them.
There was not much food, so Lin Bei gave most of the food to the two girls. The reason was that he was a man and could last a long time even if he ate less.
Ah Yue looked at Zhou Jinwei who believed it foolishly, and sighed secretly.
She looked out through the small window in the room and tugged on Lin Bei's sleeve.
Lin Bei looked curiously. From their position, they could clearly see that the lake was full of military flags of Dashan.
"The city guards are here so soon!"
Zhou Jinwei saw clearly the flags fluttering outside the window through the gap, and she looked excited.
"It should be the news that the rebels themselves released."
Ah Yue held the sword with a solemn expression.
Lin Bei nodded. He felt something was wrong ever since the rebels didn't kill them immediately.
If the purpose of this group of rebels is their lives, then kill them with a single blow, and then take advantage of the darkness to maybe have a chance to escape.
But they didn't do this, which made people suspicious.
It seems that these rebels have more plans.
Lin Bei frowned. This matter seemed not as simple as it seemed.
Zhou Jinwei was chewing fruit and saw Lin Bei lost in thought. She was about to ask, but A Yue stopped her with her eyes.
Is there anything these rebels need to accomplish at the risk of their lives?
No, upon further inference, Lin Bei felt that the word "danger" above his head was getting darker and darker.
Hiss, it seems that this time, the situation is not 100% certain. It’s a pity that they believed in them so much before.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and the three people in the room immediately went into alert mode.
After a rustling sound, the leader of the rebel army appeared in the sight of the three people.
"You three, could you please come with me?"
The leader looked at the three of them, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally followed the rebel leader towards the deck.
"His Majesty and General Zhou are waiting for you on the deck. Once we reach an agreement, the three of you will be safe."
The rebel leader showed a malicious smile.
"However, before that, I have something to say to General Lin alone. Please wait a moment."
As soon as these words were spoken, sword light lit up on the corridor, and Ah Yue stood in front of Lin Bei holding a sword with cold eyes.
The surrounding rebels immediately drew their swords and stared at the three men, and the atmosphere in the field instantly dropped to freezing point.
"Ayue."
Lin Bei called softly.
Ah Yue looked back at him, still holding the sword.
"Ah Yue, be obedient and wait for me here first. I promise, he won't dare to hurt me."
Lin Bei walked to Ah Yue's side and patted his thin shoulder comfortingly.
With the sword sheathed, Ah Yue took a deep look at Lin Bei and backed down.
"Hahaha, General Lin is still aware of the overall situation. Don't worry, girl. In ten minutes, we will return you an intact General Lin."
The rebel leader waved, and the rebels behind him slowly lowered their weapons.
"General Lin, please come this way."
He stretched out his hand towards Lin Bei, who looked at him coldly and walked in the direction he pointed.
"Lin Bei..."
Zhou Jinwei, who remained silent throughout the entire process, bit her lower lip tightly as she watched Lin Bei's steady pace.
Ah Yue held the half-unsheathed sword, her eyes becoming increasingly dangerous.
…
Lin Bei and the two walked through the narrow corridor and came to the room at the end.
"General Lin, the fortune of Dashang is very low now and is about to disappear. Why does General Lin know?"
Lin Bei walked into the room, and the leader's emotionless words came from behind.
Lin Bei yawned: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, just fart. Otherwise, you can kill me and it will be over."
He raised his sword eyebrows slightly, looked at the astonished rebel leader, and couldn't help but laugh.
You still want to fool him, it's impossible.
"Don't worry, General Lin. I keep my word. I said I won't hurt General Lin even a little bit, and I will never do anything that breaks my promise."
When Lin Bei heard this, his eyebrows suddenly became stern.
Damn it, you are so mean-spirited that you want to stab me in the back. It’s a shame that I pinned all my hopes on you before.
He collapsed on the armchair in disappointment and crossed his legs.
If you don't kill me, you are just wasting my time.
"Although I promised not to kill General Lin, there is one more thing I need General Lin to do."
"Our king hopes that General Lin will break away from Emperor Shang and surrender to our king when he confronts us in the future."
Seeing Lin Bei's nonchalant look, the rebel leader felt like he had punched cotton and felt depressed.
But he immediately adjusted his mentality and said with a smile.
Lin Bei frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
The king that the rebels were talking about should be the king who established himself as emperor in the fiefdom under the banner of the emperor's blood.
At that time, the great merchants were faced with external and internal troubles and could not send any extra troops.
Not only that, King Hongyang miraculously gained strong popular support in the fiefdom, and in just two months, he swallowed up many large cities in Dashang.
"What if I don't agree? Will you kill me."
"Of course it won't. Keeping you here will be of greater use, but we have to use some special means."
The smile on the rebel leader's face disappeared and he waved to the corner.
Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the old woman walking out of the darkness.
"Mr. Huang, it's up to you to take action next."
"Easy to say."
The old woman sneered a few times, and then took out a lavender bug from her arms. The bug, which was slightly thicker than silk thread, squirmed in her hand, which made Lin Bei feel sick.
The latter suddenly woke up and looked at the rebel leader: "You have colluded with the Gu tribe outside the country?!"
"General Lin is indeed smart, but it's too late. Mr. Huang, let's do it."
Two rebels came forward and pressed Lin Bei on the seat. Huang Lao held the Gu worm and let it crawl onto Lin Bei's body.
With a burst of heartbreaking pain, Lin Bei could feel the Gu insect bite open the skin on his chest and stop at the flesh and blood in front of his heart.
"General Lin, this Juexin Gu won't take your life for a while."
"However, if you have any evil intentions in the future that are detrimental to our country, Juexin Gu will cause you to die of heart failure under the control of Mr. Huang."
The rebel leader folded his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with pride.
He had already foreseen Lin Bei's desperate look after knowing the efficacy of this Gu insect.
This kid had pretended not to care before, but this time, he wanted to see how the latter could still pretend to be calm.
"alright."
Hearing Mr. Huang's voice, the rebel leader quickly turned around and looked at Lin Bei.
The scene he expected did not appear. Lin Bei's face was not despair, but unconcealable excitement.
