Chapter 292 - 292 50 Make Him Feel Its Worth it

Chapter 292: Chapter 50: Make Him Feel It’s Worth it Chapter 292: Chapter 50: Make Him Feel It’s Worth it “Arrest them! If they resist, kill without mercy!”

Wu Tiejun’s face was as cold as ice: “I will be the judge of right and wrong. We’ll deal with this at the military camp. I never wrong a good man, but neither will I let a bad one go!”

The heartbroken voice of Fei Xinyu: “Commander Wu, you must avenge me!”

“Commander Wu, be cautious, these two are from Supreme Mountain. They just seriously injured me with their palm strike!”

“People from Supreme Mountain?”

Wu Tiejun looked shocked: “Someone from Supreme Mountain attempted to assasinate you? Fei Xinyu, you better not be lying!”

Fei Xinyu burst into anger, his voice like a roaring bell: “I’ve already been beaten half to death! What can I possibly be lying about?”

“What are you waiting for? Do it!”

“Arrest them!”

The two men in white robes were both shocked and furious: “Are you trying to coerce a confession? When have we at Supreme Mountain ever offended the military?”

“How else were you planning on offending us, other than trying to assassinate the deputy commander of Great Qin in broad daylight?”

“This is clearly a premeditated frame-up, such low…”

Before they could finish speaking, a few skilled soldiers rushed at them with knives, clanging…

The men in white robes had no choice but to draw their swords and defend themselves. Clanging…

The collision of metal sparked.

“These assassins are so skillful! No wonder they could seriously injure Commander Fei with just a wave of their hands!”

“Attack together!”

“There’s no need for knightly honor in dealing with assassins!”

“Kill! Kill without mercy!”

With a bang, the skilled soldiers split up into small groups and leapt into the air from all directions, more than a dozen in total!

Swish swish swish…

Arrows whizzed out, precisely avoiding their own men. They skillfully controlled the arrows, so even if they didn’t hit a person, they would still just embed in a post.

With attacks coming from above and below, the two men in white robes were no match for so many skilled soldiers, even if they each grew three heads and six arms.

In just a short time, they were knocked down to the ground.

The most powerful attacker was none other than the ‘victim’ of their ‘assassination’ attempt, Fei Xinyu himself.

A group of soldiers rushed in and tied the two men up in a hogtie.

“Why?”

The two men in white were seething with indignation and humiliation.

What did we do?

If we had truly broken the law, truly offended you, then so be it. But we just arrived in town!

We haven’t even said a word and we’ve already been declared as assassins?

“Aren’t you guys reasonable?”

“You’re using such despicable methods to slander and frame us, Fei Xinyu. Is this the standard of your Great Qin Army?”

“Fei Xinyu, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock when this gets out? You think you can slander Supreme Mountain as you please?”

Wu Tiejun and his men had no interest in explaining to them, he waved his hand: “Silence them!”

Two huge walnuts were immediately shoved into their mouths.

“Take them away!”

After the fight, the teahouse was in chaos, with tables, chairs, and stools strewn about.

A lieutenant flung down a note of silver and exclaimed loudly: “Today we captured spies and caused damage to the shop. Compensation will be paid in full.”

While the shopkeeper kept refusing, his hand swiftly pocketed the note of silver.

A soldier approached the table where Feng Yin was sitting, looking stern: “Today we were hunting spies from Yan State, who tried to assassinate Deputy Commander Fei. I’m sorry for the fright.”

“Understood, understood!” Feng Yin nodded vigorously.

The soldier gave a satisfied smile, turned around, and went away.

At the entrance of the teahouse, the soldiers carried the two young men from Supreme Mountain like a butcher carries a pig, and quickly left.

Then, a few people carried out Deputy Commander Fei, who looked like a ghost drenched in blood, unconscious. They carefully lifted him up and ran ahead: “Get a doctor! Quickly, take him to Doctor Kong Gaohan’s place, it’ll be too late if we get there any later!”

Someone from the side asked, “What happened?”

“Those damned spies from Yan State tried to assassinate the deputy commander! Deputy Commander Fei is critically injured, hanging by a thread! We hope Doctor Kong can revive him and save his life!”

The soldiers carrying the stretcher bobbed along as they explained to the people.

“Ah? Is Commander Fei that badly hurt?”

“He’s unconscious now, the situation isn’t optimistic.”

“How could there be such ruthless individuals? Where did the assassins come from?”

“They’re said to be from Supreme Mountain, but Deputy Commander Fei doesn’t want us to say anything because he fears it might cause a disturbance, and he choose to suffer in silence.”

“Supreme Mountain is truly sinful!”

“Could it be that Yan State is planning another invasion?”

“Ssh…that’s a terrifying thought…”

Behind them.

The soldiers carrying the two “assassins” walked by, and were suddenly showered with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, like a sudden downpour.

“Everyone, calm down, although it’s a bit unexpected, it might also be a misunderstanding, please keep calm… After all, Supreme Mountain is a well-known upright sect, they couldn’t possibly do such a thing!”

“The Great Marshal said, don’t give them a hard time, let Supreme Mountain handle it.”

“This might just be a misunderstanding… after all, we can’t afford to offend Supreme Mountain.”

“Gentlemen don’t get excited… If you kill them, there won’t even be a witness, what then?”

“Everyone, calm down, we are also angry, but with this matter, we need to think long term…after all, they’re men of Supreme Mountain.”

“The Great Marshal said, we must be reasonable and present the facts.”

“Make way, make way, don’t crowd like this.”

“In times of trouble, don’t give the assassins an opportunity…”

The persuader’s voice was loud, and his logic clear. He was subtly hinting and leading the crowd.

Each sentence suggested to not make a fuss, but every sentence hammered on the name ‘Supreme Mountain’.

The two men from Supreme Mountain, their hearing was perfectly fine, they heard everything clearly. They were so angry they felt like their brains were about to explode.

What did we do?

How did we become assassins and spies, and even get paraded in the streets…

Moreover, you keep saying ‘Supreme Mountain’, yet you keep saying to not spread rumours…-

Are you stirring up trouble or are you trying to calm it down?

The two men from Supreme Mountain probably couldn’t have dreamed that their arrival in Yuezhou would be met with such treatment.

While their cultivation levels were not outstanding, their affiliation with Supreme Mountain generally ensured that they were well-treated anywhere they went.

Moreover, Mo Yuantu’s brothers and most of Supreme Mountain’s disciples who wandered the martial world were in Yuezhou.

How could this have happened?

The two men couldn’t figure it out no matter what.

Locked up in the army prison; Fei Xinyu, vigorous as a dragon, boldly entered with a whip in his hands.

“Spill the beans, confess all the bad things you’ve done since childhood.”

“I haven’t done anything wrong! We wanderers live by the chivalrous code…”

“Bullshit! If you haven’t done anything wrong, why is your name on the Heavenly Judge Jade Rank List?”

Furious, Fei Xinyu roared, “Those on the Jade Rank dare not to provoke Supreme Mountain, allowing you to roam freely for so long. Now, you’re claiming to be chivalrous? Bring, bring me the whip with a barb at the end!”

Thwack, thwack, thwack…

“I confess!”

“Confess my ass! I haven’t even used up my set of whip techniques!”

“Thwack, Thwack, Thwack…”

“Spare me…”

…

Feng Yin witnessed the entire farcical scene.

He truly saw how Fei Xinyu set people up.

He felt like he had just eaten a bucket of ice cream on a hot summer day.

He was thrilled from head to toe.

Even after walking a long distance, he still smacked his lips and murmured: “So awesome! So awesome!”

And then…

A faint sway of spiritual energy… the big tree was relaying a message.

Feng Yin paused: Was Wu Tiejun contacting him again?

Didn’t we just communicate?

Why the urgency?

Without any change of expression, he turned around and walked back.

…

A letter.

After obtaining it, Feng Yin casually strolled away.

As stealthy as a ghost.

Wu Tiejun stared at the tree in disbelief. He watched about fifteen or sixteen people pass by it without noticing anything suspicious.

Did Doctor Feng not come?

Until dusk, with around four or five hundred people passing close by the tree, Wu Tiejun couldn’t restrain his curiosity and finally decided to check.

He was flabbergasted.

The letter was gone.

“How incredibly secretive…”

Wu Tiejun was dumbstruck.

While I was squatting here, without even blinking, how did you manage to take it?

Upon examining the letter, Feng Yin fell into deep thought.

It explained the life of a man named Li Qing.

A Heavenly Judge’s assassin.

Just an Iron Rank.

His family was facing financial hardship, his wife bedridden with a serious illness, son born with one crippled leg and was frail, and his daughter suffered from congenital angina, incurable.

After becoming an Iron Rank assassin, he had always been cautious. Even when carrying out assassinations, he only opted for the easiest targets.

If there were no available target cases for Iron Rank, he would take on Bronze Badge cases.

When there were no targets to assassinate, he would do physical labor, carrying hemp sacks to make ends meet.

He dared not die.

Even though his living conditions were so harsh that he was struggling for every breath, death was not an option for him.

If he died, his wife and children would starve to death!

Thus, he endured until an opportunity arose – Supreme Mountain advertised a bounty on an individual. Torn by the torment of his situation, he chose to betray his organization.

He named himself ‘During the lifespan of an entire general, who did not have the time to breathe easily, this man, who could endure any humiliation and suffering for his children, still had things that he must do even if it would mean certain death.

For his country!

These four words may seem lofty, even empty to some.

But he died.

After his death, his corpse was hung at the city gates by Supreme Mountain’s people.

Fei Xinyu was the one who received his report.

After his death, it was also Fei Xinyu who took care of his family.

Wu Tiejun also knew about this incident.

So he pleaded with Feng Yin for help.

Could he give this common hero an opportunity to rest peacefully?

Could he find a way to restore health to his wife and children?

No high expectations, just a normal life would suffice.

Wu Tiejun’s letter was detailed and straightforward; it didn’t contain any emotional appeal.

However, Feng Yin was deeply moved by it.

He understood why Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu went to such great lengths to frame those from Supreme Mountain. This was their way of getting revenge, a statement of their stance!

Harming our nation’s hero, no matter what, we will take revenge!

We will all do something for him!

Even if that little something can only make his afterlife a little more comfortable, a little less bitter, we will mobilize the army without hesitation!

“A true hero!”

Feng Yin exhaled deeply.

Then, he turned around and walked back towards the barracks.

Although Li Qing was hired for something against my interests, what does that have to do with me, Feng Yin?

His children have nothing to do with the strife and grudges of the martial arts world.

Feng Yin felt.

He has a responsibility to make Li Qing feel: his sacrifices, it was worth it!

[I don’t want to refrain from pouring my heart out in writing, but my body just can’t sustain it. I’ve felt dizzy many times, and it’s clear that I overworked my body in recent years. That’s why I’ve not been asking for votes or competing for rankings. Not because I don’t want to, but because I can’t. In my view, a subscription to my novel is the greatest gift for me, while votes are an extra contribution. Any extra contribution from you guys should be met with an extra effort on my part: for example, instead of the usual 6000 characters, I write more than ten thousand. But my body can’t keep up with my efforts right now, so I can’t ask you to contribute more. I’ll take this time to recover, and when I’m in better health, we’ll talk about pouring my heart out in my writing. I’ll try to stay with you all for a few more years.]
