After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Lu Linzhi held the box in one hand and the sword in the other. He looked at the commander calmly, with no emotion in his eyes. "Do you want to live or die?"

The commander's face turned pale with fear, and everyone on the city wall was stunned.

In the past, I had only heard that the fourth young master of the Lu family was a powerful figure. Today, I saw that he was indeed extraordinary. In terms of bravery, even the general could not compare to him. No wonder the general was so in awe of him.

The officials of Jinyang City looked at Lu Linzhi with awe, and scolded the commander: "The general has said before that whether the loyal prince can make him surrender depends on God's will. Now that the loyal prince has seized the commander's seal and the city defense map, why don't you stop it quickly."

Just at this moment, Chen Lin hurried over.

Seeing that Lu Linzhi had successfully seized the commander-in-chief seal and the city defense map, he was naturally convinced.

Unexpectedly, I still underestimated him. He is even more outstanding than I expected.

Sure enough, the Lu family is no ordinary family.

"Your Highness Prince Zhong is truly courageous and bold."

Chen Lin couldn't help but compliment.

"You are overpraising me, General."

Lu Linzhi glanced at him with a half-smile: "I just want to risk my life to find a way to survive for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jinyang."

Chen Lin pretended not to understand and deliberately asked, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"General, why do you need to pretend to be confused?"

Lu Linzhi said: "The general had great righteousness in mind, and wanted to kill the evil woman Nalan and rid the Central Plains of the Alkh people. This ambition was as great as the sun and the moon, but the general failed in the end. Although he now controls Jinyang, how can a small isolated city withstand the ravages of the Alkh cavalry?"

Pretending to glance in the east, he continued with a deep smile, "I heard that Song Weizhao had sent an envoy to appease the general, but was killed by the Nalan witch. Since the general took over Jinyang, Alhe has been increasing its troops. What do you think this means?"

Chen Lin and everyone on the city wall fell into panic.

Chen Lin guessed that Nalan Yiqing must be preparing to attack Jinyang.

Lu Linzhi added: "Perhaps everyone present here is optimistic, thinking that since the peace talks between Dayan and Daying have failed, there will be a war, and the general can sit back and watch the fight. But the general should think carefully. If the Emperor of Dayan is really determined to cross the river and attack the southern border, how could he allow someone with ulterior motives to live next door? The first thing he should do is probably to capture Jinyang first."

Chen Lin had thought about this before. When he heard Lu Linzhi mention it again, he felt his scalp tighten and his heart was filled with melancholy.

Although he did not explicitly say that he would surrender to Daning, his attitude had already changed drastically.

"Your Highness Prince Zhong and the Daning delegation have come from afar. I am late in welcoming you. Please forgive me, Prince Zhong."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ordered his subordinates in a solemn voice: "Hurry up and invite the delegation into the city."

Glancing secretly at the seal box in Lu Linzhi's hand, he no longer had any strange thoughts in his mind, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, please follow me into the city to carry out the handover ceremony."

Lu Linzhi saw that he was afraid and really wanted to surrender and find a backer for the Jinyang army and civilians. However, in order to make him more determined to serve Daning, he handed the seal box back.

"Prince Li occupied Jiurong City earlier, and I have always felt bad about it. This time I came to see the general, originally wanting to help the general find the whereabouts of Prince Jiurong's family, but I never thought that I would get bad news."

Lu Linzhi looked down at the envoys entering the city and said solemnly, "I only found some remains and relics of King Jiurong's family."

Chen Lin followed his gaze and saw that there were several coffins in the delegation. He suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his uncle and aunt, who also recommended him to Emperor Hui and helped him rise to the position of general.

"So, His Royal Highness Prince Zhong was late for the appointment just to find out the whereabouts of Prince Jiurong's family for me?" Chen Lin asked with a choked voice.

Lu Linzhi nodded without blushing or beating his heart, which immediately moved Chen Lin to tears.

He didn't care about the commander's seal and the city defense map. He rushed down the city and ordered people to open every coffin. As expected, he saw the remains of his uncle and aunt. Some of the other coffins contained the urns of other family members and some relics.

His previous guess was immediately fulfilled, and his hatred for Nalan Yiqing reached its peak.

The two armies fought for their respective masters, his uncle fought with the Lu family for the jade seal, Lu Linfeng and the Lu family occupied Jiurong City, and even killed his uncle, he would not have any complaints in his heart.

But he sincerely surrendered to Dayan, but that evil woman not only did not treat him sincerely, she also secretly killed his relatives, even women and children were not spared. She was truly cruel.

He lay in front of the coffin and cried loudly for a while, then immediately turned around and kowtowed to Lu Linzhi who was coming down from the city wall, saying, "I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Zhong for helping me find the remains of my aunt's family."

Thinking about how he almost had someone shoot Lu Linzhi, he regretted it so much that he shouted, "I am willing to follow His Royal Highness Prince Zhong across the river today to plead guilty to His Majesty Daning. Even if I am cut into pieces, I will have no complaints."

As he spoke, he glanced at the box in his hand and said, "I only ask Your Highness Prince Zhong and Daning to protect the soldiers and civilians of Jinyang and not let them be slaughtered again."

Lu Linzhi stepped forward to help him up, nodded with satisfaction and said, "My Majesty has already told you that the general is loyal to the country and was loyal to the previous emperor. Everything he did was for his master and he had no choice. His Majesty does not blame you. Naturally, the general will still be stationed in Jinyang."

After all, these were all soldiers led by him. Only under his leadership could they continue to gather people's hearts and fight against the Alkh people together.

Chen Lin said in awe, "I have hurt Your Majesty. No matter what, I will go to Wengcheng in person to apologize to Your Majesty. As for Jinyang, I and the soldiers and civilians of the city are all sincerely submitting to Da Ning and have no intention of testing us. I hope Your Highness Prince Zhong will accept this seal for Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Lu Linzhi had no choice but to obey him and temporarily took over the command. He stayed in Jinyang to help him arrange the defense of the city and only sent someone to send a message back to Wengcheng for instructions.

Lu Chen has always been broad-minded, and he is well aware of the importance of conquering Chen Lin at this time. When he learned that Chen Lin was going to come to Wengcheng in person to apologize, he was particularly moved. He immediately asked someone to draft an edict to confer the title of King of Jinyang on Chen Lin and continue to lead Jinyang.

Lu Linchu learned the news as soon as he returned to the city. Seeing that everyone in the court was celebrating and cheering for Chen Lin's surrender, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

It would be great if he could kill Song Weizhao, but now he was injured by him instead, and the fourth brother got such a great credit in vain. After Chen Lin surrenders, he will only think about the fourth brother's kindness.

If these two people collude with each other in the future and want to usurp the world of Daning, it will be no small matter.

Thinking of the rumors about Guiyun and Lao Si, he felt more and more uneasy. He didn't know whether Guiyun would have other thoughts after knowing his current broken body.

But just in case, he had to get rid of the fourth brother as soon as possible.

This world belongs to him, and Guiyun will not allow anyone to compete with him for it.
