Chapter 2200: Should I Explain to Him?

Chapter 2200: Chapter 2200: Should I Explain to Him?

“Who… who exactly are you?”

General Ning finally woke up from the pain, clutching his chest, managing to squeeze out a few words.

Who are these people? His General’s Mansion, if not comparable to the palace, was at least one of the top residences in the capital, heavily guarded. How did these people get in?

Moreover, they even entered his study and found his most confidential letters?

“Can’t guess?”

An Jiuyue, while teasing her son, raised her eyes to look at General Ning and asked.

“You…”

General Ning couldn’t possibly guess. In these times, who would come stirring up trouble with a child in tow?

Suddenly, he thought of the news that had come from the palace earlier. Although Emperor Zhong had ostensibly targeted only the Minister of State and the Prime Minister, he had still received news.

“Are you here on behalf of the Yiinn Family to seek revenge?”

Thinking of the Yiinn Family, he felt a surge of resentment. He had previously suggested to Emperor Zhong either to eradicate the Yiinn Family completely or to bring those two Yiinn children into the Central Imperial Country.

But that foolish Emperor Zhong was afraid of everything and dared not act decisively.

As a result, the Yiinn Family actually managed to wait for the people of Wulong Mountain. Now that Beikun Kingdom had a new emperor, it was Central Imperial Country’s turn, and it seemed his own days were numbered as well.

“I heard that Emperor Zhong decided to target the Yiinn Family largely thanks to your advice, didn’t he?” An Jiuyue asked softly.

Hearing this, General Ning felt deeply uneasy. As he struggled to get up from the ground, his unsteady body staggered and nearly fell back down.

The matter of the Yiinn Family was indeed something he had suggested to Emperor Zhong, but he didn’t think he’d done anything wrong.

Survival of the fittest—it’s simply the natural law.

The Yiinn Family loved to flaunt their goodness, using it as a tool to win people’s favor. Should he really have let them continue to thrive?

His fifty thousand soldiers—that was enough to annex several neighboring countries into the Central Imperial Country if not for the Yiinn Family aiding those other nations.

He had assumed the Yiinn Family would never recover, but who could have predicted that the people of Wulong Mountain would come, carving out a lifeline for them!

Now that things had come to this point, he could no longer allow himself to be dragged down along with it. He had no choice but to distance himself.

“The orders regarding the Yiinn Family came from the Emperor himself. I only followed the Emperor’s commands. If you seek revenge, go after him instead.”

At this point, Emperor Zhong had already fallen. Let him be the scapegoat—without the Emperor’s orders, he wouldn’t have been able to execute anything.

“Heh.”

Yuu Rong let out a light laugh.

Did they really think nothing had been uncovered during their investigations?

“Sister-in-law, this man has quite a thick skin. If we don’t use some tactics, there’s no way he’ll spill anything,” he said casually, looking at General Ning.

“Do I need him to spill anything?”

An Jiuyue shot him a sideways glance and asked in return.

What was there left to say? Regardless of whether it was Emperor Zhong or General Ning before her, these two would undoubtedly be companions on the road to hell.

“Yuu Rong, go with Yi Kun and investigate who in the General’s Mansion needs dealing with,” she instructed.

“Got it.”

Yuu Rong responded cheerfully and left with Leng Yikun.

Once outside, he suddenly realized something and looked at Leng Yikun with some confusion. “Why am I accompanying you to investigate, instead of you accompanying me to investigate?”
