" Ashina Tiandu?"
Abide William was no stranger to this name; in fact, he was very familiar with it.
The intelligence his nephew had previously sent back stated that this person was the emperor of the Frostwest Empire, commanding an army of over two hundred thousand men.
Such a powerful emperor was actually beaten so badly by the Great Liang, and was even captured and brought to the Great Liang. This is simply too humiliating.
Furthermore, the Great Liang that Daliang was able to accomplish this is truly terrifying.
At this moment, he was even somewhat glad that he had surrendered to Great Liang, at least he no longer had to worry about Great Liang's attack. After all, being Great Liang's enemy was just too hopeless.
He still can't forget that scene: a barrage of attacks came flying at him. Before he could even react, there were explosions, flying rocks, arrows, and all sorts of other things. He was overwhelmed and couldn't even lift his head.
The oppressive force was indescribable, suffocating, and despairing.
Just like Ashina Tiandu, whose army of over two million was defeated so quickly, only a few days slower than ours, that's just too outrageous.
Even the slaughtering of chickens and sheep in Great Liang wasn't this terrifying; Great Liang was clearly far more terrifying than this.
If it weren't for the Great Liang Da Liang, the Frostwest Empire would probably have dominated the West for decades; that would have been the life of the Frostwest Emperor.
Now he's a prisoner; it's truly a cruel twist of fate.
Lin Yi didn't care what he was thinking. He looked towards the distant west and said in a deep voice, "Summon Ashina Tiandu. I also want to meet this brother-in-law. He was a ruthless man who dared to plot against my Great Liang territory."
Now that you've been defeated by my Great Liang, I wonder if you're truly willing to accept it.
To be honest, Ashina Tiandu; after all, his skill in stirring up trouble was absolutely top-notch.
If it weren't for my own cheat code, he might have actually turned it into the Grand Western Alliance, and perhaps even achieved something bigger.
After all, this alliance is easily formed when interests are at stake.
Unfortunately, he ended up hitting a brick wall; he could only blame his bad luck and overestimation of his abilities.
Soon, Ashina Tiandu were brought up.
The once high-spirited Bill IV was now on the verge of collapse. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot and bulging, and he reeked of a foul stench, looking like a madman.
Once he was brought into the palace, his gaze immediately locked onto Lin Yi on the dragon throne.
Although the two had never met, he knew from his first instinct that the man above was his rival, Lin Yi, the one who had single-handedly destroyed his dream of the Frost Joy Empire and his dream of becoming a Western emperor.
A cold glint flashed in his bloodshot eyes as he sneered, " Lin Yi?"
"How dare you address His Majesty by his name!"
He actually said this in the language of Great Liang, which instantly enraged the ministers in the hall, almost leading to a full-blown fight.
But Lin Yi didn't seem to care much, and instead gave him a meaningful look.
This guy actually learned the language of Great Liang, which is an incredible feat. He only recently started paying attention to Great Liang, meaning he learned the language of Great Liang within a year. This can't be described as just genius.
It's no wonder he looked down on his father, King Bill III. With his intelligence and talent, he was absolutely among the best in the world, and ordinary people simply didn't have that ability.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, saying, " Ashina Tiandu, you and I were originally relatives, but I never expected to meet you like this today. It's truly a pity."
"Relative?"
Upon hearing this, Ashina Tiandu couldn't help but laugh, his face full of sarcasm. " Lin Yi, don't deceive yourself. Even if I acknowledge you as a relative, do you really think we'll show mercy to the Frostwest Empire just because of our kinship?"
"Hehe, what if it happens?" Lin Yi chuckled.
Ashina Tiandu, saying disdainfully, "You and I are actually the same kind of people. When it comes to important decisions we've made, anyone who stands in our way will be eliminated."
So don't try to fool me. If I were in your shoes, I would kill you too.
Hahahaha.
Hearing his words, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. This guy actually understands things.
As he said, he wanted to take over the Frostwest Empire, and no amount of connections mattered. There was no other solution unless he surrendered directly.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain; this is an ironclad rule.
He nodded slightly and smiled, "You're right. In fact, the Frostwest Empire was quite difficult for me to conquer at first, since it's my father-in-law's country. So, I should thank you, brother-in-law."
puff.
Ashina Tiandu, because he knew in his heart that what he said was true.
If he hadn't taken action himself, Lin Yi would have needed to find countless reasons to enter the territory of the Frostwest Empire; otherwise, he would have been scorned by the world.
Unbeknownst to me, I had actually helped him out.
His face was dark, and he said in a deep voice, "Since I've helped you, can you spare my life? I can no longer threaten you, so you don't need to kill me outright."
"Give me a way out, and I can even leave you with a good reputation. Why wouldn't I do that?"
Upon hearing his words, the ministers' hearts skipped a beat. This fellow actually still wanted to live; they hoped His Majesty wouldn't soften his heart.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi did not agree to his request. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "You said it yourself, we are the same kind of people. You are so smart, how could I let you leave?"
"After killing you, I can at least face my father-in-law with a clear conscience."
An ambitious person is terrifying; a clever and ambitious person is even more terrifying.
Leaving him behind would only bring trouble sooner or later, so let's send him on his way; it'll be a good opportunity to avenge my father-in-law.
"You!!!!"
Ashina Tiandu. He never expected that after saying so much, he would still be unable to escape death in the end. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then give me a quick death. I'll be waiting for you down there."
"You're so domineering and aggressive, I'd like to see what your final fate will be."
Uh, is it that scary?
Lin Yi dismissed his words with disdain. Although everyone must die, if he could truly exist in the same world, he might not necessarily die.
Regardless of what would happen if the Nine Tripod Cauldrons were combined, as long as I could get my hands on some gene-enhancing drugs, living for hundreds of years wouldn't be a problem.
If you got your hands on a potion of immortality, you'd be immortal! Nobody would want to see you in the afterlife then.
He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'm not entirely heartless. I'll let you see your son before you die."
