Free Web NovelChapter 1088: Chapter 1048: Your Grandpa Niu
For a moment, some people even wondered if they were still dreaming.
Was this a dream?
After all, the whole situation was absurd—a foreign nation’s Emperor suddenly appearing in the enemy camp, surrounded by seventy thousand soldiers. It was utterly fantastical and surreal. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
But no matter how hard they rubbed their eyes, when they looked towards Lin Yi’s direction, they could still see the Jade Seal clearly placed on the table.
Of course, the first to react was the old man, whose eyes were filled with a dodging intent when he looked at the Jade Seal, his heart gripped by fear. His gaze not only landed on the Jade Seal but also shifted towards Lin Yi.
He wanted to discern the truth from Lin Yi’s eyes, judging from Lin Yi’s expression whether that Jade Seal was real.
However, Lin Yi was calm and composed, as if he had no concern for his own safety.
"Are you truly the Emperor of this kingdom? How is this possible? Who are you exactly? Why have you gathered us here, what is your purpose?"
"Speak clearly today, or you’ll never leave here alive."
"Brothers, who cares who he really is? Since he claims to be Emperor of Yong Kingdom, let’s just capture and kill him. What use is he?"
"Indeed, that’s right. Capture him directly, no matter who he is, just kill him."
"Capture him first, then subject him to severe interrogation. He’ll definitely spill the truth; a little beating and he’ll confess who he really is."
So, for a moment, everyone started speaking similar words.
Their consensus was to capture Lin Yi, irrespective of his true identity, and solve everything through interrogation afterwards.
They’ll uncover who he is and his real intentions.
Of course, hearing these words, the old General could only smile bitterly and shake his head.
He too wanted to capture Lin Yi and put him through severe interrogation.
But the opponent’s skills were far too formidable. Those people hadn’t seen his abilities yet, but he had firsthand experience. Even if all his generals attacked together, it probably wouldn’t end well.
This left the old man listening to the chatter without intending to speak.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, or that he was truly afraid of Lin Yi, but he realized saying anything now was futile. Only when Lin Yi decided to speak, would they understand his intentions.
Otherwise, no matter how much he asked, without Lin Yi’s response, it’d be pointless. As for the words about capturing him, he just listened without action.
Meanwhile, on Lin Yi’s side, hearing all the chatter about capturing him, he still had a playful smile on his lips.
"Haha, if anyone is unconvinced, feel free to try."
When Lin Yi said this, it immediately reignited the atmosphere. Everyone glared angrily at Lin Yi, ready to capture the seemingly not-so-strong-looking man.
Regarding the noise inside, the guards outside naturally heard it loud and clear. But as this was a military discussion, loud arguments inside were not uncommon, so none dared to step in to see what was happening.
Lin Yi was naturally amused by this.
After his words, all the generals were eager to act.
But none stepped forward first, as their eyes were on the old man, their General.
Only when the old General gave orders would they act; otherwise, it’d be presumptuous since none of them held the highest rank present.
However, looking at the old man, they didn’t receive approval.
Their eyes did not get approval.
Contrarily, the old man showed a face full of bitterness and helplessness.
This puzzled the generals and confused them about their General’s expression.
Yet, without his orders, naturally, a few hot-tempered ones rolled up their sleeves, stood up, and glared at Lin Yi with anger:
"Boy, don’t get arrogant, let Grandpa Niu meet you first and see what you’re made of."
After these words, he rolled up his sleeves and approached Lin Yi, his voice filled with an eerie laugh as his hands clenched, making cracking sounds.
"Boy, Grandpa Niu has nothing else but strength. If I accidentally break you, don’t blame Grandpa Niu. Uh... Pfft!"
While speaking, he reached Lin Yi’s front, but before he could finish, he stopped abruptly.
Along with the abrupt stop came a grunt and a mouthful of blood that sprayed from his mouth.
Moreover, his entire body shot backward like a cannonball, that was truly a quick exit.
Before anyone could react, Grandpa Niu had already flown back the way he came.
He didn’t use his legs but flew backward heavily, his feet leaving the ground.
In mid-air, the blood was unrestrained.
With a thud, he smashed into rows of tables behind him and collapsed heavily, fainted instantly.
Looking at Lin Yi in the scene, he leisurely retracted his foot, smiling calmly at the crowd, shrugging:
