"Huh?"
Seeing Chen Qun get angry, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. Muren had really messed with an honest guy.
This person is usually meticulous and methodical in everything he does, with his own principles; he is an extremely pure person.
This person is now actually saying he wants to make an example of someone.
This is a very rare occurrence; clearly, Muren's shamelessness has become unbearable even for honest people.
He nodded slightly and said, "You are right, my dear minister. Although our Great Liang Win People Over with Virtue, that is not a reason for others to morally blackmail us."
Even if the person we want to kill is a saint reincarnated, we'll have a thousand reasons to kill them!
Moral blackmail? That's something only the strong do.
If you try to morally blackmail the weak, you'll be beaten black and blue.
"Your Majesty, I didn't..."
Upon hearing this, Muren's expression changed drastically.
If this reason is proven true, then he'll be dead even if he doesn't die.
"Alright!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi stopped him, saying in a deep voice, " Muren, although I wanted to give you a chance, unfortunately you still underestimated your people!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Muren looked puzzled. What did that mean?
"Minister Sun, explain this to him!"
Seeing his curious expression, Lin Yi gave Sun Jian a wink, and the latter immediately understood and stepped forward.
Sun Jian sighed and said, "To be honest, after you were captured, our army encountered fierce resistance in the Yamata Nation."
Our army was forced to fight, but we did not expect that the people of the Yamata Nation would be determined to die and charge into the enemy lines. Their indomitable will moved me deeply.
Finally, after a great deal of effort, we...
The gist is that we had ended the war, but while we were tending to the wounded, we were attacked by the people of Yamata Nation.
They were incredibly brave, charging forward with their lives on the line, and in the end, there was no other way but to annihilate them.
Boom!
Muren was struck dumb, staring at Sun Jian in disbelief, trembling as he said, "You... you... what do you mean?"
He was greeted by a cold expression!
Sun Jian merely glanced at him and said calmly, "Your Yamata Nation is gone!"
Is the Yamata Nation gone?
Muren was instantly drained of all his energy, collapsing to the ground. The glimmer of hope that Central Plains vanished into utter despair.
He had originally planned to live a life of ignominy, but now that even the Yamata Nation was gone, he would probably be a prisoner even if he survived.
However, it now seems that Lin Yi never intended for me to live in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have told me about this.
The claim that the people of Yamata Nation were determined to die is clearly a massacre perpetrated by you.
He gritted his teeth and said, " Lin Yi, you won't get away with this! I'll be watching you from down here, and I'll see how you die!"
Since there's no way out, let's destroy it completely!
"Why!"
Lin Yi sighed, looking helpless, and said, "I try to reason with you, but you want to resolve things with force. I'll resolve things with force, but you want to reason with us."
"Now I'm trying to reason with you, and you're cursing me. It's so hard to be a decent human being."
"Hmph, you don't need to feign compassion. I'm going to die anyway, so I'm not afraid!" Muren had already gone all out; at least he could have some venting before he died.
Lin Yi glanced at him; this guy was still quite naive.
Death isn't the worst outcome; the worst is a fate worse than death. That's the most terrifying thing, and it's necessary for him to experience it.
He looked at Zhao Gao to the side and sighed, " Zhao Gao, I'll leave this Muren to you. He openly attacked Great Liang, dragging Great Liang into the war."
This guy's aggressive military campaigns caused heavy casualties in the Yamata Nation, making him a truly heinous criminal.
You know how to handle it.
Muren thought that death would make him arrogant, but he didn't realize that death was the easiest thing to do. If he fell into Zhao Gao's hands, he would definitely suffer a fate worse than death.
As a disabled person, he carries a shadow in his heart, and he can be absolutely ruthless when he wants to harm others.
Hu Hai's brothers and sisters suffered terribly, one after another, all because of his actions.
"Leave it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao's eyes lit up instantly, brighter than light bulbs, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
With so many people under the Emperor's command, why was he chosen?
This means I'm the most trusted person and the most reliable when it comes to getting things done!
He thought to himself, " Muren dared to curse the Emperor, the more gruesome his death, the happier the Emperor will be. This is a perfect opportunity to curry favor with the Emperor!"
Thinking about this, he became excited.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will ensure he feels at home and experiences the hospitality of Great Liang!"
Grunt!
Hearing his sarcastic voice, Muren felt a chill run down his spine; there was something wrong with this guy.
He, who had already resolved to die, was now overcome with a sliver of fear.
"Tsk tsk, it actually fell into Zhao Gao's hands!"
The others couldn't help but gloat. Zhao Gao was a psychopath, and falling into his hands would undoubtedly be the worst fate for anyone.
This time, I guess I'll really be living a life worse than death.
"I trust you to handle things!"
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, giving him an approving look. In any case, Zhao Gao was reliable.
Now that they have 100% loyalty, they are an even more valuable asset, and we certainly can't let them go to waste.
Muren's expression changed drastically, and he cursed, " Lin Yi, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Gao stepped on his head, forcing him to swallow his words.
Zhao Gao then took off his shoes and stuffed them into Muren's mouth before summoning several eunuchs to drag Muren away.
After the Muren was dealt with, the matter of the Yamata Nation came to an end. From then on, there was only the Inside-the-Well Commandery, and no more Yamata Nation.
The next step is to use him to intimidate others.
Lin Yi glanced at Xu You beside him and smiled, "Minister Xu, how are those kings doing now? They should be making some moves, right?"
Sun Jian's return has caused such a stir that these people will surely be alarmed, and perhaps they will band together for mutual support.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xu You nodded, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, " Abaddon has already spoken with Bill III, and they seem to want to contact several other kings as well. Several kings have already gone there."
Upon hearing this, the ministers' eyes all turned cold.
"Court death!"
"These kings actually dare to side with the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire, and oppose my Great Liang! I think they're tired of living!"
Jiang Wei and the others revealed murderous intent. They had brought this upon themselves, so they had no choice but to unleash a massacre.
Lin Yi didn't take it seriously. These people's idea of banding together for mutual support was just wishful thinking. It wasn't that simple. Did they really think the Net was a pushover?
But the fact that these people still dared to go proves Chen Qun right; he realized he had been too lenient in the past.
