Bab 647: Returning to the Capital to Be Anointed

Qin Silong harbored no mercy for Old General Chen, who had once issued orders for his elimination, a directive that would have been carried out if not for a fortuitous dream and the intervention of his brother-in-law, Su Bin.

While guarding the border for numerous years, Qin Silong managed to return Old General Chen as a complete corpse, according to the general's standards. He even maintained the general's reputation by disseminating a story to the public. In this narrative, Old General Chen, upon hearing of the Public House's rebellion, allegedly succumbed to suicide out of shame.

In reality, Old General Chen had actively participated in the rebellion, eliminating numerous innocent soldiers to secure the military power for the Public House. His ruthless approach spared no one suspected of allegiance to the Emperor or the General Manor.
