Ashina Tiandu, do you regret it?
At that moment, a cold voice rang out behind him, making Ashina Tiandu tremble and turn around with difficulty.
Sure enough, a familiar figure stood before him, looking at him with a displeased expression.
He said bitterly, " Anne, it's been a long time!"
He felt guilty towards his younger sister. He had not only killed their father but also wiped out her people; he felt somewhat sorry for her.
Now I'm afraid my sister will also turn against me, then I'll be completely finished, and even my son won't survive.
He had no answer to Anne's question.
Because there is no answer to this question, it doesn't matter whether you regret it or not, it's just a matter of winners and losers.
If they win, they will be heroes of the Frostwest Empire, the true overlords of the West, instead of the stray dogs they are now.
Anne sneered and said in a deep voice, "You really are still unrepentant. Losing to Great Liang is the best outcome for you; otherwise, you will surely lead the empire to hell."
"Hmph, how much better do you think your man is? He's even more insane than me." Ashina Tiandu finally couldn't hold back any longer and sneered.
What am I compared to Lin Yi, that madman who has already destroyed nearly seven or eight great nations, and his conquests continue unabated; his offensives are truly endless.
If he himself is a madman, then he is a psychopath.
Anne glanced at him disdainfully and said in a deep voice, "But my man is stronger than you, much stronger."
One sentence was enough to break Ashina Tiandu; this is such a double standard.
Moreover, he couldn't refute this statement at all. The other party was not only stronger than him, but far stronger; they were not even in the same league.
Forehead!
Lin Yi's lips twitched. He never expected that he, who was just watching the show, would be caught in the crossfire. This was a completely undeserved disaster.
He chuckled dryly, "You two siblings haven't seen each other in so long, why hurt each other like this? Your older brother won't be around for much longer either, so just talk it out."
Holy crap!
Ashina Tiandu. It would have been better if you hadn't tried to persuade me; your advice was like stabbing me in the heart.
He sighed, " Anne, I don't ask anything of you. Just save my life. All you need to do is protect your nephew. Even if he lives a normal life, I can die in peace."
He hadn't thought he had any great fatherly love before, but at this moment, perhaps because a dying man's words are kind, he truly wanted his son to live.
"Don't worry!"
Before Anne could speak, Lin Yi had already spoken up.
He smiled and said, "I also like this child, Mafa. He doesn't have your extreme ideas. From now on, he will stay in Great Liang, become Great Liang my people, and fight for the peace of this world."
It's unreasonable for such a large country to be unable to accommodate even a small child; that would demonstrate a complete lack of tolerance.
As long as Ashina Mafa does not act against his own interests in the future, it is perfectly acceptable to let him live. However, if he harbors any improper thoughts, then I will not show mercy but will kill him outright.
After all, his survival was due to my own compassion; if he were to become a menace in the end, then I would have no choice but to kill him.
"Fighting for peace?"
Ashina Tiandu. How could he say such a thing? He didn't know if he felt guilty or not; it was blatant lying.
The greatest unrest on this continent is because of you, Lin Yi; it is because of you that there is no peace.
Anne glanced at her son with concern. Although her husband had let him go, if he didn't know what was good for him, he would almost certainly die.
Having slept together for so long, she understood Lin Yi's personality to some extent.
He possessed his own kind of benevolence, but once his rule was threatened, he turned out to be ruthless in his punishment.
Ashina Mafa glanced at his father, then turned to Lin Yi and said firmly, "Only Uncle is capable of unifying this world. Mafa will study hard and help Uncle in the future."
puff!
Ashina Tiandu vomited blood. His son had been completely fooled and was even willing to work for Lin Yi. It was unbelievable.
He instinctively wanted to scold him, but after thinking it over, he gave up. He already had no future, so why create more trouble for his son?
Anne beamed and said to Lin Yi coquettishly, "Your Majesty, look how obedient Mafa is! He will definitely take good care of you in the future."
Hahaha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, then sighed, "Everyone says the emperor is heartless, but who knows the emperor's predicament? Mafa, you must work hard; your uncle will need you in the future."
"Definitely!" Mafa nodded, his face solemn.
Lin Yi smiled, turned around and walked into the Imperial Academy, since this place had been left to Ashina Tiandu's family.
On the Star Gazing Pavilion.
Lin Yi sat quietly by the window, drinking tea. Opposite him were Lu Yafu and Wen Tianxiang. The three of them sat together, drinking tea and looking at Ashina Tiandu in the distance.
" Lu Yafu, it seems your brainwashing work is quite effective. Mafa has already realized his mission," Lin Yi said with a smile.
Lu Yafu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Ashina Mafa is a smart man. He knows that the Frostwest Empire can no longer protect him, so he has chosen to submit to my Great Liang."
However, I cannot guarantee whether he is truly loyal.
The Imperial Academy had an ironclad rule: those who are not of our race will surely have different hearts. Therefore, when teaching people of other races, they would often include a brainwashing course to indoctrinate them with ideology.
Ashina Mafa was very cooperative, but it was precisely because of this cooperation that it became a problem.
Lin Yi instantly understood his meaning and smiled, "Whether they truly submit or not is not the issue. The future of Great Liang cannot tolerate the resurrection of a Frostwest."
He had no interest in whether Ashina Mafa was biding his time, secretly gathering strength to restore Frostwest.
Because it's unnecessary.
Is the Frostwest Empire popular? Not really.
Once the situation stabilizes, those who have pledged allegiance to Great Liang will never allow the restoration of the Frostwest Empire, for that will be the time for them to face reckoning.
Even Anne wouldn't agree, because her future son wouldn't want another enemy.
With the combined surveillance of the Net and Hundred Riders, Ashina Mafa couldn't amount to anything, let alone cause any trouble.
I followed the path I had given him, and that's how he got a smooth road ahead.
Lu Yafu chuckled to himself.
That's absolutely true. The current landscape is vast, far beyond what the sky can bear. The rise of any other power will not be tolerated in the future. If such a power does emerge, it will inevitably face complete suppression. That's no joke.
