Chapter 167 -127: Rebellion!

“Are any of these brothers injured?”

“That panacea’s primary function is to replenish the origin of life in the injured. Any internal or external injury ultimately depends on the patient’s foundation and recovery. As long as enough of the patient’s life source is provided, anyone who has a breath left will recover quickly. Especially if the patient’s foundation is undamaged, and their origin is still intact…Any medicine that can stimulate the patient’s potential for life and speed up recovery is rare. But a medicine that can directly replenish the patient’s life source… it’s more than rare, it’s outright miraculous. It’s simply too magical.”

When Kong Gaohan began to speak about medicine’s principles, he was nonstop, even providing a few examples.

If Feng Yin could hear this conversation, he would be dumbfounded– He never thought of any of this.

“That’s good, that’s good.” He Bibiqu felt relieved.

“Has Doctor Feng’s pass for free movement been activated yet?” Kong Gaohan asked with hope.

He Bibiqu did not answer, instead asking: “Big Brother Kong, do you really want Doctor Feng… to walk your old path?”

Upon hearing this, Kong Gaohan was taken aback, and his expression instantly darkened. He muttered, “It would be better to remain an outsider…yes, it would be better to stay as an outsider. Sigh…”

He Bibiqu stopped talking.

The battlefield was quickly cleared.

The battle was fierce, and the wealth that Qian Wanjing had amassed took a heavy hit. The large amounts of banknotes are now useless, and many heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been reduced to ashes.

Yuezhou City was bound to face a period of famine.

However, Kong Gaohan and He Bibiqu did not express any regret or remorse about this situation.

Without the large fire, they would have had to sacrifice the lives of at least six hundred brothers under their Rainbow Heavenly Clothes!

What’s more, not setting the fire would be equivalent to revealing their reluctance to hit the mouse – a fact that would only be exploited by the enemy. Even if it came to the point of no return, the Black Feathers would use their last strength to destroy this batch of goods. That would be a real loss of both men and wealth.

Now, they still have a lot of gold in hand. The strong fire can indeed melt the gold, but the gold is still there. As long as they put in some effort to clean it up, they can retrieve a considerable amount of wealth.

It’s always a trade-off, life is full of choices; it’s just the way it is!

Of course, neither He Bibiqu nor Kong Gaohan wanted to see Yuezhou fall into a financial crisis, with cries of despair filling the city.

The impending famine has been reported in advance. There is a way around every difficulty as it arises, so solutions will definitely be found by then.

Since the businessmen of Yuezhou conspired with Qian Wanjing and trusted his investments, they should be responsible for the backlash of investment failures!

But once the lives of their brothers are lost, they are truly gone and can never come back. Even if they wrong the common people for a while, they have to weigh the pros and cons. In a situation where they have to choose between two evils, they have to choose the lesser one. Complete solutions don’t often exist.

“Fuel the supplies, don’t worry about anything else, but make sure food is delivered as soon as possible, and try to avoid a situation where people starve to death!”

“Understood. Big Brother Kong, you guard here, I will lead the majority of the troops to the military;; Wu Tiejun’s side may not be as smooth as ours.”

“Be careful about everything. On Wang Sanyuan’s side, just kill him directly. Even if there’s consequences, I’ll bear it with you. Between the two of us, we can take it!”

“Thank you for the generous offer. Well, there’s one more thing…”

“What?”

“The issue of these spoils.”

“Naturally, the spoils are seized by the national treasury, and besides, Qian Wanjing has escaped. What does their scam have to do with us? We can’t recover it.”

“Who said we’re going to recover… it’s not feasible to return to the merchants; The existing financial assets are naturally a capture, this is no problem. It’s just that others are a bit tricky.”

“Other?”

“The banknotes, there are several boxes of banknotes.”

He Bibiqu says:”Although this batch of banknotes was burned, the amount is huge, and the silver and gold are still in the bank. We can’t just benefit these banks, can we? See if we can find a way to directly incorporate them into the national treasury.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Gaohan almost pulled out several hairs from his beard: “He Bibiqu, your heart… has it turned so black now?”

He pondered for a moment, then said, “In any case, write down a list, and then I will try to scrutinize the case. First, suppress this sum of money, and then find a way to incorporate some into the national treasury. Then, allocate a small amount into the Yuezhou government office, and allocate some to the Rainbow Heavenly Clothes. How about our Qingyi and Baiyi take the majority?”

“This plan is brilliant.”

“Okay, I’ll implement it.”

“Then I’ll go.”

He Bibiqu happily left.

With Kong Gaohan handling these matters, He Bibiqu felt fully reassured.

…

Morning.

The moment Feng Yin got up, he went out for a stroll as usual, bought some things, and then went to the tree where he met Wu Tiejun.

Seeing Feng Yin coming, the big tree automatically reveals the tree hole that has been hidden.

As such, Feng Yin reached in for the note and left.

The branches and leaves of the big tree behind him swayed, evoking a feeling of prosperity.

He was in good spirits.

In a secluded place.

After reading the contents, Feng Yin instantly became worried.

“With such a small amount of power, how can one control the army? Isn’t this impossible?”

After some thought, he finally went home, grabbed a knife, changed his clothes, secured the silkworm silk, and left the city.

After leaving the city, he found a place, restored his look of Doctor Feng Yin, then put on a face mask and accelerated, again and again.

…

On the other hand.

Within Wang Sanyuan’s large army, a long-planned mutiny was underway.

Wang Sanyuan’s forces were still on the move when suddenly a horse galloped from the rear as if on a mission.

“Lord Wang!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Sanyuan immediately reined in his horse and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”

“Mountain peak ordered, abandon Yuezhou.”

“What? What are you talking about?” Wang Sanyuan’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he asked in surprise.

“Please listen carefully, Lord, the mountain peak’s secret order states that in light of the fact that the southern border troops cannot provide rapid reinforcements, we have decided to abandon Yuezhou. We hope our army will do its best to hold the enemy back for ten days; to give the citizens of Yuezhou enough time to evacuate.”

Wang Sanyuan was shocked to hear such disastrous news. He sat on his horse as if turned to stone.

All the soldiers who heard this order also wore expressions of disbelief.

It remained quiet for a long time. The only sounds breaking the silence were cautious snorts of horses, the heavy breathing of the crowd; and ragged, uneven huffs of the messenger who was struggling to draw breath.

After what seemed like a lifetime, Wang Sanyuan finally burst out: “Bullshit! Foregoing Yuezhou City without even engaging in battle? No way! It can’t be! Bring forth the one who is spreading this false message and confusing our soldiers, and behead him for his offence!”

“My lord, I dare not lie, this indeed is a command from the command post, it’s a matter of immense importance; it’s not something I would falsely claim to be true!”

Someone from the crowd suggested, “General, refrain from acting rashly, let’s examine this matter more closely, perhaps …”

“Perhaps what?”

Wang Sanyuan glared at his deputy, who lowered his head in guilt.

Regardless, Wang Sanyuan snatched the military order and began to read. His face immediately flushed red with anger, “We all have left our homes behind to fight, our purpose is to protect our homeland. But at such a crucial moment, Command is ordering us to give up on Yuezhou City! What’s the point of us being out here? Are we just being sent to die?”

“General, if we were to face the Great Yan cavalry in the open field… with our level of manpower, not to mention holding out for ten or eight days, even if….”

“Even if what?” interrupted Wang Sanyuan.

“Even if… a day…” the deputy stammered.

“Ah…”

Wang Sanyuan sighed deeply, tears forming in his eyes.

“This order… brutally orders us to face certain death… If this order had been given before deploying the troops, we could have gathered all the soldiers in the City of Yuezhou and relying on strong fortifications, we may have held the city for half a month at most. But now… even if we risk our lives… what’s the point…”

“Sir, the lives of our brothers are in your hands!”

Suddenly, several people cried out.

“Sir, this is madness, this military order is literally ordering us to die!”

“Sir, you’ve always been so upright and have offended many. Now in this national crisis, they are using this as an excuse to frame you.”

“Where is the justice in this world!”

At the moment, countless people joined the discussion, interpreting the military order’s content. Everyone believed, “We are being framed, we are being abandoned, our general is being framed…” These sentiments echoed nonstop, louder and louder.

Finally, someone posed a question.

“What do we do now?”

“What should we do next?”

“It’s already determined that we can’t go back to Yuezhou, if we turn back now and the Great Yan cavalry chases us, we will die even sooner.”

“Go back? You even thought of going back? They are forcing us to walk the path of no return, do you think they will let you return to the city?”

“So what do we do? There’s no way back to the city, there’s no way forward either, are we just waiting to die?”

“Yeah, yeah, going back is more than just a dead-end! When a deployed general retreats with his army, do you know what that signals?”

“Rebellion?”

“Shut up! You shut up, you are the one who wants to rebel!”

“So what do we do? What should we do now!”

They looked at each other in dismay.

Suddenly everyone turned their eyes to Wang Sanyuan: “General! What do we do?”

“Yes, General, you need to make a call, what should we do now? Are we waiting to die?”

“…”

Wang Sanyuan’s face twitched, his eyes flashing with unidentified emotions. Anyone could see the depth of his struggle and rage…

“General!”

“General!”

“What do we do?”

“General! Please make a decision!”

Wang Sanyuan finally made the difficult decision: “Brothers… our survival… is now out of reach, there’s no way out…”

The crowd fell silent, no one spoke for a long while.

Suddenly someone shouted: “So what if we’re pushed to our deaths, our fate is in our own hands, I don’t want to die!”

“I don’t want to die either.”

“Who wants to die! Only fools would want to die!”

“So what should we do? How can we survive!”

“In this situation, what else can we do? If we go back to Yuezhou City, we’ll be prosecuted under Qin Law. If we continue forward, we’ll be forced to die by Qin’s command. It’s clear that the Great Qin no longer wants us to live.”

“There are only two paths left before us. One is the path of death, turning back will result in a death sentence under the Qin Law, accused of treason. Forward is to fight the Yan Army to the death, guaranteed to die, there’s no chance we can defeat the Yan Army. The other path is survival… surrender to the Yan State.”

“Don’t call me a traitor, let me ask you all a question, they have clearly dismissed us and are sending us to our deaths, do we still need to fight to the death for the Great Qin? Is it worth it or not?”

“It’s not worth it!”

Thirty or forty people shouted in unison.

“It’s not worth it!”

The second wave of shouts was greeted with an even larger chorus of agreement.

“General, give the order! It’s a matter of life and death! If we don’t make a decision now, it will be too late!”

Wang Sanyuan seemed to have finally made a difficult decision: “With things as they are, if you don’t leave me, just follow me… let’s first ensure our survival. When everyone decides to return to the Great Qin, I will… find a way to clear your names, how’s that?”

“The general is merciful!”

“We all listen to the general!”

Suddenly, someone roared, his tone full of indignation: “Rebellion!”

“Rebellion! We’re rebelling!”

Forty or fifty people echoed in unison with high-spirited shouts.

“Rebellion!! We’re rebelling!”

…

I began having diarrhea late last night, and after getting up today, I’ve been going back and forth eight or nine times. I need fluids. I won’t be able to update tomorrow morning. I’ll be on IV fluids, sleeping, and resting. I’ll see how things are tomorrow afternoon… if there are any updates, they might not be until later in the evening. I’ve been using so much toilet paper, my butt hurts even without wiping… I don’t dare…

Currently, I don’t even dare to fart…
