Chapter 856: The Yin Family
In this mutiny, Yin Jingyi's trusted generals showed amazing execution and combat effectiveness. They led the Tiger-headed heavy armored soldiers and took control of the entire camp at lightning speed.
Those soldiers who had originally doubted Yin Jingyi's decision, after witnessing the decisiveness of the mutiny with their own eyes, realized that they had no way out and strengthened their beliefs.
At this moment, after tonight, they and the entire Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion will probably be classified as rebels in the Daqian court.
Are they now completely tied to Yin Jingyi? Their future fate is destined to be closely linked with this hero.
As the night deepened, the lights in the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Camp were still brightly lit.
At the same time, on the other side of the empire, the moonlight was like silver, shining on the ancient and solemn bluestone slabs of the Yin family mansion, bringing with it a hint of unspoken chill.
Yin Jingyi launched a mutiny in the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Battalion. After a brief appeasement, he now held a bloody sword in his hand, walked hurriedly through the Yin family's well-planned courtyard, and went straight to the family meeting hall.
The wind seemed to freeze at this moment, and even the air was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending storm.
The Yin family, a family that has produced generals for generations, will face unprecedented changes tonight.
In the meeting hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated faces that were either shocked or solemn.
The current patriarch of the Yin family - Yin Ting is sitting in the main seat, and on both sides are the elders of the Yin family. Some of them have white hair and beards, while others are in their prime. They are all the mainstays of the Yin family through hundreds of years of ups and downs.
At this moment, their eyes were all focused on Yin Jingyi, who was full of murderous intent and determined eyes, and they felt mixed emotions in their hearts.
"Jingyi, what do you mean?"
Yin Ting's voice was low, trying to find a clue of reason from this sudden change.
"Father, fellow elders, what happened tonight is no longer a joke."
"I, Yin Jingyi, have been forced into a desperate situation. The only way to survive is to burn my boats and fight to the death."
Yin Jingyi stood still, tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, and blood slowly slid down the sharp blade, ticking, like a countdown to death.
There was dead silence in the lobby, except for the crackling of candlelight, which seemed to be trembling with the sudden storm.
The elders of the Yin family on both sides looked at each other in disbelief at this young general who had always been steady and reliable, with unprecedented shock surging in their hearts.
"Jing Yi, do you know what you are doing? This is a serious crime that will confiscate your property and exterminate your entire clan!"
"You... you dared to start a mutiny in the Tiger Head Heavy Armored Camp and kill the royal family members and the sons of many dukes and noble families?"
An elder with white hair and beard said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of pain.
"How could I not know? But now that things have come to this, I have no way out. Since they dare to attack me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"I, Yin Jingyi, am unwilling to sit and wait for death, and I am even more unwilling to let the Yin family's hundreds of years of foundation become a pawn in the hands of others."
Upon hearing this, Yin Jingyi curled up his lips into a bitter smile.
"Father, fellow elders, I need the support of the Yin family."
"As a military family, the Yin family has hundreds of years of heritage and connections. They are my greatest support at the moment. Only in this way can I have a glimmer of hope and the Yin family can avoid being implicated."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, leaving a spot of bright red.
Yin Ting, who was at the top, had a gloomy expression on his face. He knew that what his son said was true.
In this turbulent court, one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.
And now, what Yin Jingyi has done has directly pushed the entire Yin family to the forefront. If they are not careful, the family will be confiscated and the family will be exterminated.
"Jingyi, you are forcing your father."
Yin Ting sighed, his voice full of helplessness. "Father, I am forced to do this. If I don't do this, the Yin family may become fish on the chopping board of others tomorrow."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to fight to the death. Perhaps we can still gain a glimmer of hope for the Yin family."
There was a hint of pleading in Yin Jingyi's tone.
"Jing Yi, you know that you are walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, the Yin family's hundreds of years of foundation will be destroyed!"
Yin Ting's voice contained some anger, some helplessness, and even more, some grief as the head of the family.
"Father, I know this too. But now that things have come to this, I have no way out."
"Only by using the Yin family's hundreds of years of accumulation can we have a fighting chance."
Yin Jingyi took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
As soon as these words were spoken, the lobby suddenly exploded.
The elders of the clan were whispering to each other, and discussions were heard one after another, all of them were shocked by Yin Jingyi's crazy behavior.
"Jing Yi, you are forcing our Yin family to embark on the path of rebellion!"
An elderly elder of the tribe said with great sorrow.
"Treason? No, I'm just fighting for the Yin family, for every one of us, for the right to live."
"The royal family has already taken action against me. If we don't resist, the next time, the entire Yin family will be executed!"
Yin Jingyi's eyes were firm and unwavering.
Yin Ting was silent for a moment, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
Now that Yin Jingyi's big mistake has been made, the Yin family is at a critical juncture of life and death.
But as the head of the family, he must make a choice: continue to live in peace or give it a try?
"The Yin family has been known for its loyalty and bravery since our ancestors. But today, if loyalty and bravery cannot save our lives, then we can only give it a try."
"Jing Yi, since you have made up your mind, your father will support you. The Yin family's hundreds of years of foundation cannot be destroyed in an instant."
"But you have to remember, once you embark on this path, there is no turning back."
Finally, Yin Ting slowly stood up, his eyes swept over every elder present, and his voice was low.
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent again, but this time, there was an extra sense of resoluteness in the silence.
The elders on both sides looked at each other and saw the same determination in each other's eyes.
The Yin family has been a family of generals for generations. As elders of the family, they have spent half their lives in military service, so naturally they can see the situation clearly.
Now they have no right to decide whether to advance or retreat. The Yin family has reached a point of doom and gloom. It is either life or death!
There is no third way!
Then Yin Ting turned around and took Yin Jingyi slowly to a secret room deep in the mansion. There was a secret vault of the Yin family's accumulation as a military family.
The door of the secret vault slowly opened, revealing all kinds of armor, weapons, and the wealth and treasures accumulated by the Yin family over generations.
These are the foundation that the Yin family has secretly accumulated over hundreds of years by using their power, and are also the Yin family’s last trump card!
"Jingyi, these are the accumulation of hundreds of years of Yin family. Now, I will hand them over to you."
As Yin Ting spoke, he handed a key to Yin Jingyi. The key was heavy, carrying the glory, disgrace, rise and fall of the Yin family for hundreds of years.
