The old General is cornered by Lin Yi's risky gamble and attempts to shift the pressure to his subordinates, but no one is willing to participate. Lin Yi then decides to demonstrate the game himself by covering a dagger and two props with paper bags, proposing a round of "press the bag" where the loser faces Lin Yi's terms, but if Lin Yi loses, the General can decide his fate. Lin Yi's gaze sharpens on the old General, bringing a sense of relief to the others.

Even in their hearts, they were thinking, hoping that someone else would go up, because the more leaders lost, the greater the chance for themselves to rise to power.

Although they all belonged to the same faction, who wouldn’t want to reach higher?

Who would want to willingly stay in this position for a lifetime?

Who doesn’t want to sit at the very top?

When they saw who this guy was targeting that old man, everyone felt a rush of excitement and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

But among this group, when the old man saw this situation, his frown deepened, and in his heart, he cursed the young man in front of him.

He wished he could tear the guy apart,

This was utterly embarrassing for him. As a Grand General, how could he do such a thing?

But now that the situation had come to this point, if he didn’t go up, how could he command troops in the future?

The confidence these Generals had in him might be shaken.

Immediately, he looked at his subordinates again. His gaze this time was different from before; the first time it was somewhat subtle, but this time it was blatant. His meaning was clear — he wanted someone to take his place.

When he looked at the first person, that guy’s heart skipped a beat, and he helplessly lowered his head, pretending he hadn’t seen the old man’s gaze on him.

Although this was somewhat self-deceptive, compared to his hand, compared to his career, these were unimportant.

He still had some utility now, they would still be polite to him. If his hand was disabled and he couldn’t lead troops, what awaited him would be a very tragic result.

This wasn’t an exaggeration; after all, these people’s value in existence was very clear. Which emperor would keep a useless person around? It’s obviously unrealistic.

And when that guy lowered his head, the old guy immediately snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to the second person, who had already seen the old guy looking this way and, when the elder looked over, was looking up at the sky, daydreaming.

If this guy could speak at that moment, he probably would have said, hey, isn’t the moon beautiful tonight?

Of course, even though it was broad daylight, even though they were indoors and couldn’t see the sky, he would probably still say it, right?

One, two, three, four, very quickly, the old man looked at everyone present,

Goodness, after looking around, no one was looking back at him, all putting on a look as if it had nothing to do with them.

In an instant, the old man snorted again, slapped the table viciously, and looked across at Lin Yi, speaking:

"Hmph, boy, don’t get cocky, isn’t it just a mere game? Do you think I am afraid of you?

Vice Commander Wu, you go and meet this lad, let them witness the bravery of our Zhao Country Army, let them learn that we Zhao people are men of valor."

At this moment, the old man was no longer hesitating and concealing as before but straightforwardly started to assign soldiers.

But at this point, the person called was instantly looking as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.

At the same time, he was cursing the old man incessantly in his heart, wanting to kick the old guy hard, curse his luck, he couldn’t think of such a thing but could think of me, enough of being despicably sly.

Of course, although he cursed a lot in his heart, still, orders were orders. Since the old man had directly called on him, he had no choice but to brace himself and head over to Lin Yi’s side.

Seeing him walking over, the rest all breathed a long sigh of relief, glad it wasn’t their turn. If it had indeed been their turn, it wouldn’t have been a feeling of schadenfreude like now.

And the old man, after sending his subordinate out, also scanned the remaining crowd, understanding quite well what his subordinates were thinking based on their expressions.

Yet in his heart, he couldn’t help but sigh helplessly, it seemed his unit lacked sufficient cohesion.

In a truly good unit, when such an incident occurred, countless individuals would have stepped forward to take responsibility voluntarily, instead of having him personally assign someone to participate in the game.

It was enough to show his prestige was still inadequate, taking this chance, he had to set an example again, let them see how formidable he is, make them fear him, only then can he stabilize his position as the Grand General.

Meanwhile, on the field, the General surnamed Wu looked as if he had eaten something foul.

He took steps forward, dragging his feet, all the while glaring at Lin Yi with anger, wishing to swallow him whole.

Thinking about it, he felt resigned, after all, it was this bloke who suggested it. If it wasn’t for him proposing this game, how could he be standing here now? How could he be facing the possibility of crippling his hand?

"Your eyes are quite distinctive. Are you perhaps practicing Toad Skill?"

A single sentence nearly broke the guy’s composure, while Lin Yi finished speaking, he turned, smiling, to glance at the old man:

"What, you old guy, too afraid to come down yourself, sending a subordinate instead, haha, I didn’t expect you to be so timid, it truly shows what Zhao Country soldiers are like.

Even the Grand General is so cowardly and timid, afraid of causing trouble, how good could those beneath him be?

Haha, but since someone is stepping up for you, I can’t back down either, let’s continue the game."

As he spoke, he lifted the bag which had a dagger inside, and suddenly, the silver-glinting dagger appeared once again in everyone’s sight.

With the appearance of the dagger, the General Wu’s heart suddenly sank.
