Chapter 222
Lin Wenti, a great general of the northwest, was an individual on par with Yuchi Li, responsible for the defense of the Empire's northwest frontline.
A year ago, in that war, Lin Wenti neglected his duties, failed to defend the city, and ended up deserting his post. Upon his return to the Capital City, Emperor Ming charged him with a serious crime and his entire family was executed.
