Jiang Yang was surprised: "Knowing that this would be the outcome, why did you still choose to risk death?"
The Lin family was deeply rooted and their interference resulted in a significant loss of Hidden Guards during this mission. Their master also had multiple brushes with death. To think that an issue that was taken so seriously could be casually laid to rest. If the master had foreseen this, casual involvement would have sufficed!
Jiang Shu opened his eyes, replacing his languid demeanor with a sharp glare: "Do the thousands of people living in suffering not deserve us to fight for?
Jiang Yang was taken aback.
Feeling ashamed, he lowered his head, "I was too narrow-minded!"
Jiang Shu said no more, merely closed his weary eyes. Emperor Yue's move wasn't entirely useless, it served to intimidate his opponents at least. The ministers also realized that the deeply-rooted Lin family was not invulnerable.
On their way back, he was coughing continuously.
