"This king?"
Upon hearing those two words, the members of the Net narrowed their eyes and said in a deep voice, " Li Sansi, the Prince of Beining Commandery?"
Good heavens!
We caught a big fish this time!
"Presumptuous!"
Li Yunqing was furious. This person dared to call his father by his name, which was utterly disrespectful.
Such a small Net, yet it dares to be so audacious.
"Shut up!"
Li Sansi snorted coldly and slapped Li Yunqing across the face, sending him flying. Still not satisfied, he slapped him several more times, shouting, "I haven't said a word, so who gave you the right to speak? Mind your place!"
Just as Li Yunqing, stunned by the beating, was about to lash out, he heard the last sentence and instantly understood: the people from Net were looking through the portraits, probably trying to confirm their identities.
Father is trying to hide himself.
Forehead!
The people from Net glanced at the two of them but did not stop them. Instead, they had someone find the portrait of the Prince of Beining Commandery and, after a brief comparison, couldn't help but smile.
It really is the Prince of Beining Commandery!
But the other person?
Looking at Li Yunqing's bruised and swollen face, he couldn't help but frown slightly. He hadn't noticed this at all.
He gave a wink to the person behind him, who immediately broke away from the group and headed towards Dayu County. It involved a prince, something they couldn't handle.
Since the lord has not yet given an order to kill, we cannot carry out the killing.
He smiled warmly and said, "So it really is the Prince of Beining Commandery. My apologies for not recognizing you. And who is this gentleman?"
"My confidant!"
Without hesitation, Li Sansi revealed the identity he had fabricated for his son. If his son's true identity were exposed, it would be troublesome; he might even be detained by Lin Yi.
If it's just a trusted confidant, it's much safer. Anyway, now that they're all beaten to a pulp, no one will recognize them.
He then said in a deep voice, "My request to see Lin Yi concerns the safety of Xiliang Commandery. If anything goes wrong, you will not be able to bear the responsibility."
He could sense that these members of the Net had no respect for his identity whatsoever, so he had to see Lin Yi as soon as possible, otherwise in their eyes he would be no different from the people they had killed.
This is too dangerous!
" Prince of Beining Commandery, please do not worry. I have already sent someone to report, and I believe we will have news soon."
After saying that, he stopped talking, but his men showed no intention of leaving, and instead surrounded the father and son.
Knock knock knock!
After a while, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came, and it was Net who had just left, except that there was another person behind him.
Net is Wang Yue leader!
Wang Yue looked at the two men, including the Prince of Beining Commandery, and immediately dismounted. He solemnly said, " Wang Yue greets the Prince of Beining Commandery. Our young master invites Your Majesty to Dayu County for a discussion!"
"What? Lin Yi is in Dayu County?"
Li Sansi's pupils contracted. Lin Yi was actually in Dayu County at this time? Could it be that the Luo Wang ( Net) hadn't received news of Tuoba Yu's military campaign?
That's absolutely impossible!
Given the tightness of the Net, this is absolutely impossible.
The only possibility is that Lin Yi had already planned this all along, which is why he was so bold as to stand directly in front of the enemy.
It seems the intelligence was wrong!
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "So the Crown Prince was prepared all along. In that case, I'll take my leave now, so we can coordinate with the Crown Prince to attack Tuoba Yu from both sides!"
He didn't want to stay here now, because the situation was clearly different from what he knew. Lin Yi wasn't going to abandon this place; he had obviously made preparations all along.
It's likely that either the Prince of Northern Liang or Bai Zizai made the move.
Wang Yue shook his head and laughed, "Since Your Highness has come all this way, wouldn't we become a All Under Heaven if we didn't treat you well?"
"Someone, help the prince onto his horse!"
Li Sansi was lifted onto a warhorse, leaving Li Yunqing dumbfounded.
And what about me?
hey-hey!
Several members of the Net surrounded them, laughing, "Brother, let's go together. You, a mere servant, don't expect to ride a horse!"
The prince is entitled to ride a horse all by himself, but you, his trusted confidant, don't have that privilege. So, just walk back.
Xiliang Commandery was short of warhorses. Even the warhorses that Li Sansi had sent earlier had been sent to Heavenly Pillar Peak to transport supplies, so there were no extra warhorses for them to ride, and they had to walk.
Do I still have to walk?
Li Yunqing's face turned green. This was reaping what he sowed! Why did he even come along? This was just too unlucky.
Not only did I get beaten up for nothing, but I also have to go all the way to Dayu County. What a bastard!
Li Sansi followed behind Wang Yue, his pupils shrinking as he watched Dayu County draw closer, his heart churning with turmoil.
Damn it!
The walls in Dayu County are actually finished! The height of the walls is terrifying, even more so than the defenses of Little Pine Mountain. No wonder Lin Yi dared to stay in Dayu County; even if Tuoba Yu came, he'd probably be in trouble.
With city walls nearly four zhang high, what could his cavalry use to fight them?
The terrifying Lin Yi repaired the city wall in less than half a month. Just how powerful was he?
He probed, " Wang Yue, isn't this city wall of yours terrifying? How was it built?"
With this technology, what is there to fear about Tuoba Yu?
"Haha, Your Highness, you should ask the Heir Apparent. I have no idea." Wang Yue laughed heartily, not daring to speak nonsense.
On the watchtower of Dayu County!
Upon hearing the report from Net, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "What a fine Prince of Beining Commandery! I underestimated his audacity!"
He actually dared to bring just one person to my territory; it's almost like he's asking for trouble!
"Haha, this guy is probably here to test the waters! But he doesn't know about our lord's travel permit and portrait. He's just Net!" Jia Xu shook his head and laughed.
Clearly, this guy got a travel permit and thought he could get away with it, but he was too optimistic.
Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated; this action was indeed rather strange.
However, there must be some problems here, otherwise Li Sansi would never have taken this risk, but he didn't know the specific reason.
We can only test Li Sansi when the time comes.
His attention returned to the watchtower, from which he could see the general situation a dozen miles outside the city wall of Dayu County, and if anyone came from outside the city, he could see everything clearly.
This is a specially built tower, ten zhang high, standing atop Pepper Flower Mountain, the highest peak in Dayu County. It would have been impossible to complete without advancements in cement and steelmaking techniques.
This place offers the widest view; standing atop the watchtower, one can see even further.
Looking down, you can see most of Dayu County, making it an ideal location for strategic battle formations due to its superior field of vision.
It was built for battlefield command!
Seeing this superb view, Jia Xu couldn't help but exclaim, "This watchtower is excellent! From here, you can see everything around us, and most of Dayu County is laid out before you!"
