It was a rebellion!
The Northguard Marquis wanted to rebel!
Looking at the crumbs of the imperial edict, the young prince's first reaction was that the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to rebel.
At this moment, he finally recalled the scene before his father left.
Before he left, his father was very happy to say that he had won the right to be a special envoy for him because in his father's opinion, the benefits of this imperial edict were too great.
If the Marquis of Zhenbei accepted the edict, they could add fuel to the fire by saying how they had persuaded the Marquis of Zhenbei with their silver tongue and so on. If the Marquis of Zhenbei refused to accept the edict, there was no danger for him to be the envoy. After all, he was the envoy, and killing the envoy was equivalent to declaring war.
Moreover, in their calculations, even if the Northern Borderline refused to accept the imperial edict, he could still gain a good reputation of not fearing the danger of the Northern Borderline and resolutely delivering the imperial edict.
No matter how he looked at it, the young prince would be able to reap some benefits…
However, the scene in front of him completely stunned the young prince and also completely woke him up. He suddenly realized how stupid he was to have his guards kill the 'lowlifes'!
The Northguard Marquis didn't play by the rules!
What did it mean that the Marquis of Zhenbei dared to tear up the imperial edict? He was not afraid of the Tianwu Dynasty at all! Moreover, the Northguard Marquis even said that he wanted to convict him!
He knew that Lin Qing Yu was definitely not just talking. He was really going to convict him.
The Marquis of Zhenbei…really dared to kill him.
"Northguard Marquis…what are you going to do to me?”The young prince was really feeling guilty at this moment. The grandmaster-level guards could not give him a sense of security at all. His identity and status in the northern border seemed to have become worthless.
"According to the laws of the Northern Borderline, what should be done to those who instigate others to murder innocent people?”Lin Qing Yu asked.
"Kill!"
"He should be killed!"
"Death penalty!"
Everyone was excited.
"Let this subordinate do it!" Li Cang rode his warhorse toward the young prince.
" No…Don't kill me, you can't kill me. I'm Tian Wuheng, I'm a relative of the royal family, I'm…"
Looking at Li Cang walking towards him step by step, although he had the strength of a Martial Master, Tian Wuheng was already scared out of his wits. This was an expert who could even kill a second-rate grandmaster!
Thud!
Tian Wuheng immediately sat on the ground. Due to his extreme fear, a strange smell came from the ground he was sitting on. Although there were three guards in front of him, they did not give him the slightest sense of security.
He could clearly see the guards in front of him trembling in fear.
"Those who resist will be punished for the same crime!"
Li Cang's words were vigorous and forceful, as if announcing the young prince's death sentence.
For a moment, the guards instinctively retreated to the sides.
Li Cang looked down at the young prince and raised his blade high!
"Tian Wuheng, this is the consequence of killing in the northern borders!”
Swoosh!
He raised his hand and slashed down!
However, at this critical moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"General Li Cang, please spare me!"
Weng!
General Li Cang's saber stopped at Tian Wuheng's neck. Tian Wuheng was so frightened that he did not dare to move. He could even feel that the flesh on his neck had been cut open!
It was too fast! He didn't even have the chance to react. He tried his best to turn his head and saw that the person who made Li Cang stop was an elegant gentleman with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
"Hmm?" "Fang Rui?" Li Cang turned to look.
"Lord Marquis!" After Fang Rui arrived, he nodded at General Li Cang. Then, he said respectfully to Lin Qing Yu,"I don't think we should kill the envoy of the Tianwu Dynasty on the street.”
Fang Rui deliberately said loudly,"Once the envoy is killed, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the Tianwu Dynasty. It will be detrimental to the stability of our northern borders.”
"The reason is not enough. No one can violate the laws of the Northern Borderline!”Lin Qing Yu said coldly.
"Not bad! The Northern Borderline is governed by the law and everyone is equal. However, as a civilized country, there is a rule that states that emissaries are not to be beheaded. Since Tian Wuheng is an envoy, he should also belong to the ranks of emissaries. According to the law, we should list his crimes and hand them over to the royal family of the Tianwu Dynasty so that the royal family of the Tianwu Dynasty can give us an explanation!”
Fang Rui said slowly," Lord Marquis, although we tore up the imperial edict, we are still righteous in terms of morality. We have done our best to release Tian Wuheng and let him go back. We have displayed the demeanor of a gentleman in the Northern Borderline. Moreover, the person who did this is already dead."”
Li Cang also frowned slightly…
"Lord Marquis…Fang Rui's words make sense.”Li Cang also said uncharacteristically.
He knew very well that the Northern Borderline needed time…Tearing up the imperial edict had already disgraced the Tianwu Kingdom. If he were to kill the envoy, it would really be a declaration of war!
The Central Plains had not been unified yet, so it was indeed not suitable to kill the envoy now.
"What you said makes sense, and there are indeed laws to follow. But have you ever thought about the feelings of the family whose husband and father died?”Lin Qing Yu said indifferently,"This matter…will be decided by the person involved!"”
After saying that, Lin Qing Yu came in front of Aunt Zhou, whose husband had died.
"I'm sorry…I didn't patrol well enough and caused you to lose your family.”Lin Qingyu said gently after arriving.
" Lord Marquis..." Aunt Zhou finally couldn't hold back her grief and burst into tears,""They are too evil!"
"I know." Lin Qing Yu said in a low voice," Therefore, I'll leave the decision to you now. According to the laws of the Northern Borderline, you can either kill him on the spot or release him. I'll support you no matter what choice you make."”
Aunt Zhou looked at the young prince with eyes full of hatred.
The young prince panicked. He never thought that his fate would be in the hands of a commoner. He also never thought that Lin Qing Yu wouldn't care even after Fang Rui told him about the pros and cons.
" You can't kill me. You can't kill me. If I die, the Northern Borderline will fight to the death with the Tianwu Dynasty. At that time, not only will your husband be in danger, but even your child will be in danger…"
When the young prince said this, Lin Qing Yu frowned slightly.
"Disturb the thoughts of the person involved! Slap!"
Li Cang directly lifted him up and slapped him, sending three of his front teeth flying!
"If you don't shut up, you'll die immediately!"
The young prince was stunned. When he saw the hatred in the woman's eyes, his heart turned cold…
How could someone with such a hateful gaze let him go?
"I…am willing to let him go."
The young prince was overjoyed. He even wondered if he had heard wrongly.
She could actually let go of the hatred of killing her husband?
"Don't be led by him. I can tell you responsibly that no matter what choice you make, it won't affect the Northern Borderline.”Lin Qing Yu said.
"I believe in Lord Marquis! However, even if he could contribute a little to the Northern Borderline, Old He would still smile in the afterlife.”
The voice fell.
The young prince had mixed feelings. At the same time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the northern borderline…was different from the Imperial Capital.
In this place, even a woman would put down her hatred for the sake of the greater good. This…was terrifying.
