Chapter 843: Chapter 822 Even if you die, I must have you!
Young Mister Qin had come to Lin City precisely with the idea of capturing all those who harbored rebellion against him in one fell swoop!
Three hundred li to the west of Lin City lay his former fief from the days when he had been Prince Xuan. Although he now wore the emperor’s crown, this place remained his stronghold, where he could move with ease.
In addition, he had come here in secret, concealing his tracks all along the way.
He had long planned that whether it be the Virtuous King or Jun Ruochen, even if these people had no charges against them, he would fabricate some in order to eradicate them all in one stroke!
When he had been Prince Xuan he was a bit more easygoing, but once he ascended "That Throne," particularly one achieved through questionable means, he became all the more attached to that so-called "virtuous reputation." The very existence of these people made him restless, which is why he devised such a calculating strategy!
Having dispelled this thorn in his side, he considered it less important whether the campaign against the King of Wumeng would succeed in eradicating the threat or not!
He had thought that, should another opportunity arise, it might take at least a year and a half, but to his surprise, no sooner had he arrived near Lin City than he received news that Jun Ruochen unexpectedly brought Su Pan’er into the nameless small town and even allowed her to roam freely within the City Lord’s Mansion!
Indeed, fortune favors me!
Overjoyed, he immediately issued an Imperial Decree, commanding the Great Army of a hundred thousand men led by Master Gu, who had long been waiting in the rear, to march southward, aiming to encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
Qin Yi, having received word of Young Mister Qin’s secret visit, contemplated for a moment before understanding the latter’s intentions.
"Young Mister Qin is arrogant, and his ascension to the throne was fraught with uncertainty and ill-grounded. It’s likely that many ministers are discontented, and he cannot directly remove disobedient ones like the Virtuous King. That’s why he resorted to this strategy. What I didn’t expect was that he would actually come to Lin City himself. It seems there’s much to be exploited here!"
Qin Yi, who had been grim-faced due to Pan’er and Yan Yan being trapped in enemy territory, unexpectedly broke into a rare smile!
Old Cheng and several Deputy Generals couldn’t understand his thoughts.
"Does Lord Marquis intend to find a breach through Young Mister Qin? Although the plan is good, it might be very difficult to execute in practice. Young Mister Qin is extremely cautious about his own life; he must be surrounded by elite troops now. It’s too difficult to get close; I fear..."
Everyone dismissed the idea.
"Who said I plan to confront him head-on?"
Qin Yi wore a look of absolute confidence and suddenly laughed, "Have you all forgotten that there are others besides me, Qin Yi, who are eager to pull Young Mister Qin down from his horse?"
Everyone frowned in thought, then, a figure suddenly flashed through their minds, and their eyes lit up!
"Does Lord Marquis mean...?"
Qin Yi nodded confidently: "Now that Young Mister Qin himself has come to this place, even though there may be a few Princes and Lords around, the one in charge of the central palace must be Crown Prince Qin Ru! This Qin Ru is arrogant and has been the sole favorite of Young Mister Qin for many years, but that hasn’t stopped the covetous eyes of his brothers. Undoubtedly, Qin Ru’s eldest legitimate son, Qin Hong, will be very interested in the news of Young Mister Qin’s presence in Lin City!"
As Young Mister Qin’s eldest legitimate son, Qin Hong was not favored by him. Moreover, having been nearly killed by his own father several times in the past, Qin Hong had boldly stood up to openly rebel when Young Mister Qin ascended the throne!
Unfortunately, Young Mister Qin was still his father. At first, Qin Hong had some advantage, but as time went on, he was suppressed by Young Mister Qin’s troops. Over the years, he has been cooped up in Jiangning Mansion, leading a very constrained life!
If he knew that Young Mister Qin was in Lin City...
"Brilliant! A perfect strategy of ’relieving Zhao by besieging Wei’ and ’drawing a stake from under the cauldron’!"
Everyone excitedly gave thumbs up: "Lord Marquis, your strategy is excellent! Without deploying a single soldier, we can solve the immediate crisis and cut off Young Mister Qin’s retreat at its root! Such an excellent strategy!"
With this strategy decided, everyone shared their opinions and quickly finalized the specifics.
Su Pan’er was becoming anxious at this moment.
Not only had she turned the City Lord’s Mansion upside down, but she had also combed through the nameless small town!
Still, no news of Little Yanyan was to be found.
Always confident, she truly became worried and barged into the City Lord’s Mansion again, demanding to see Jun Ruochen.
Jun Ruochen did not make things difficult for her and soon appeared before her.
"It’s quite rare to see you so leisurely!"
Su Pan’er wanted nothing more than to tear off the opponent’s smiling face.
Jun Ruochen chuckled softly, "Pan’er, you should know what I want. Just agree to my request, and I’ll let you reunite with your mother and daughter immediately!"
Su Pan’er stared into his eyes for a long, long time without speaking.
Jun Ruochen still looked at her with a smile, neither urging nor in a hurry.
"I know you want to use me to restrain Qin Yi, and even destroy him! But your trick is useless!"
After a while, Su Pan’er finally sighed!
Looking at him with pity, she said, "Today, Su Pan’er will leave these words here: if anything serious happens to Qin Yi, I, Su Pan’er, will definitely not live alone!"
"So what?"
Jun Ruochen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, "I love you so, so much... even if you follow him in death, I will not let you return to his side! Even if you die, I will have you!"
She was his calamity!
He had already sunk into hell, and it was only right to pull her down with him!
Furthermore, he had kept Su Pan’er here because he had already prepared a grand course, waiting for Qin Yi to come knocking at the door!
Hopefully, he had the appetite to swallow this grand gift of his!
"You! You..."
The color drained from Su Pan’er’s face, followed by a sudden realization!
"I understand now!"
Her face turned ugly as she nodded, and then she couldn’t help but laugh with a hint of mockery, "So this is what you call affection, just a guise for your selfishness!" The one he truly loved was himself!
"Say what you will. But, if you make up your mind, you can come to me anytime!"
Jun Ruochen’s gaze lingered on Su Pan’er’s chest before he unabashedly let his obsession show in his eyes. He reached out to touch her slender chin, but the words he uttered were especially chilling.
"You’d better make your decision quickly. Those ruffian troops of mine won’t take good care of a five-year-old girl. If anything happens, don’t blame me!"
"Jun Ruochen, you scoundrel!"
Enraged, Su Pan’er raised her hand and delivered a heavy slap to his face, glaring at him furiously!
"Don’t you forget, by all accounts, Little Yanyan should call you ’uncle’! Are you even human!"
Little Yanyan was only five years old!
How could such words come out of his mouth, if not from a beast?
The slap was solid, and immediately, five finger marks appeared on Jun Ruochen’s left cheek, as a trail of vivid red blood seeped from the corner of his mouth!
Jun Ruochen silently raised his hand to touch it. Seeing the trail of blood red on his fingers, he actually laughed out loud.
"Good, very good!"
He lifted his hand and slowly licked the vivid red clean off his fingers with his tongue!
