" Bai Zizai?"
"Yes!"
"Shall we have a talk on the city wall?"
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi was somewhat taken aback.
The old man actually invited him at this time, and even wanted to meet him on the city wall. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems the old man has also heard the news, and he can't sit still anymore!"
"Haha, Tuoba Yu will definitely make a big fuss this time, it's normal for Old Master Bai to be restless." Jia Xu nodded and laughed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qun couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's because our lord is so modest; otherwise, the old man wouldn't be worried about us, but about Tuoba Yu."
Currently, the only publicly known army in Xiliang Commandery is Zhang Liao's 30,000 troops, which does seem rather weak compared to Tuoba Yu's 100,000-strong army, so it's understandable to be worried.
After all, the old man had guarded it for so many years, so naturally he didn't want to see Xiliang Commandery handed over to others.
On the city wall!
Bai Zizai gazed silently down at this land, watching the gradually taking shape Xiliang City, feeling as if he were living in a dream. Even someone as worldly-wise as him couldn't help but feel a turmoil in his heart at this moment.
That's fucking amazing!
To build a city, and a huge main city at that, in just over ten days—what incredible strength that is!
As one of the elders of Northern Liang, he could slaughter more than 100,000 enemies and make them flee in terror, but to build such a magnificent city in such a short time was absolutely a pipe dream.
But now the Crown Prince has done just that. The Crown Prince, who was once considered by the world to be ignorant and incompetent, is now like a god.
He shocked the entire Xiliang Commandery!
The steward Bai Yun behind him couldn't help but gape. This was the first time he had stood on the city tower overlooking the entire Xiliang City, and it felt unreal, as if he were in a dream.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, the young master's methods are too outrageous! Could he be the legendary chosen one?"
The true emperor will have divine assistance!
Aside from this reason, there is no other explanation for why the Crown Prince is so powerful.
"How should I know? Anyway, I'm totally convinced. Our young master is getting more and more monstrous!" Bai Zizai rolled his eyes at him and said irritably.
To be honest, he really couldn't understand his young master. He was clearly a blockhead back then, so how come he's suddenly become so amazing?
"Haha, hearing Uncle Bai praise me like that, this young master is a little embarrassed!"
Upon hearing the news, Lin Yi, who had come to investigate, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard Bai Zizai's words.
This old man was secretly praising himself; it's like the sun has risen in the west!
Why!
Upon seeing Lin Yi, Bai Zizai wasn't surprised, but couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master, based on the methods of Xiliang City alone, I, Bai Zizai, am truly impressed! Anyone who dares to say that the Young Master is unsuitable to inherit Northern Liang, I'll tear them apart alive!"
At that moment, he was truly convinced!
The city-building techniques are truly impressive!
"The old man's praise makes Lin Yi feel a little ashamed," Lin Yi said with a smile as he slowly walked up to him.
Lin Yi was very curious about the reason why the old man had suddenly invited him to have tea on the city wall.
The old man had been busy planting sweet potatoes and had handed over all the affairs of Xiliang Commandery to me. Now that he has suddenly taken action, it is definitely not just to praise me.
That's a cunning old fox!
Hahaha!
Upon Bai Zizai laughed heartily and solemnly said, "I, Bai Zizai, have never been one to submit to anyone in my life, but to be able to bring Xiliang Commandery to such a state in just one month is absolutely unmatched. I even dare to assert that the one in the capital doesn't have this ability!"
He knew he couldn't achieve that level of ability, neither could his sworn brother, the Prince of Northern Liang, nor could the emperor.
Such an amazing person would be more than qualified to be an emperor, let alone a crown prince; that would be a waste of his talent.
"Hahaha, you old man, if you can talk, then say more."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cang grinned broadly, patted Bai Zizai on the shoulder, and gave him a look that said, "I have high hopes for you."
If you talk like that, then I, Old Zhou, will approve of you.
Bai Zizai wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and punched Zhou Cang, saying irritably, "What do you know, you idiot? I'm just stating the facts. If I can't do it, I simply can't do it!"
puff!
Bai Zizai's guards watched in disbelief, thinking to themselves, "This kid is incredibly audacious. He actually dared to talk to White Asura like that and even pat him on the shoulder. He's definitely a formidable person."
Back then, White Asura slaughtered so Northern Region Barbarians that they cried for their fathers and mothers, and terrified those barbarian soldiers to the point of wetting themselves. He was a god of death.
He actually put his arm Zhou Cang; this guy is really bold.
Even Lin Yi was at a loss for words. He learned from Wang Yue that the old man's fighting strength, even if it couldn't compare to Bai Qi, was at least at the level of Xue Rengui.
It is estimated that the old man's forces killed nearly 150,000 barbarians over the past ten years. This is no joke; it's a real number of heads.
The main reason Zhou Cang and Bai Zizai got along, besides their own reasons, was probably Zhou Cang's personality; he and the Old Man Bai were quite compatible.
"Grandpa, you didn't call me here today just to praise me, did you?" Lin Yi asked Bai Zizai with a smile.
The old man was one of their own, and he didn't want to beat around the bush; that would be a complete waste of time. It was better to be straightforward.
Bai Zizai nodded inwardly. This kid really had a keen sense of smell; he guessed immediately that he wanted to see him. No wonder he was called a little fox.
He didn't hide anything, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, we've received news that Tuoba Yu has already begun his operation!"
"Oh, so that's why the old man invited me to tea at the city gate today!" Upon hearing this, Lin Yi instantly understood Bai Zizai's meaning today; this was a warning to him.
It seems the old man is still somewhat worried about himself, which is why this situation has arisen.
Bai Zizai rolled his eyes but didn't say anything more. He knew in his heart that he had received the news, and Lin Yi, who had the Net, couldn't possibly not have received it.
There's only one possibility: he had been preparing for this all along.
However, in the past few days, the Crown Prince suddenly sent troops to seal off Dayu County, and no one else could know what was happening inside, which made him a little worried.
He frowned and said, "Your Highness, Tuoba Yu's military campaign this time should not be underestimated. It will likely be a thunderous attack. If Your Highness cannot withstand it, my Asura Army can lend you a hand!"
Huh?
Hearing this, Lin Yi perked up.
This is very interesting. The old man is going to give his lifeblood, the Asura Army, to him. This is a big deal.
"Old man, are you willing to do this?"
A hint of a smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he asked curiously.
