Li Sansi was also brought over by Wang Yue. Looking at the city wall so closely, he felt like he was dreaming.
He touched it lightly and felt an unprecedented hardness. He couldn't help but mutter, "How is this possible? In less than half a month, he has created such a miracle. It's simply unbelievable!"
Such a tall city wall would have taken at least a year or two to build, but Lin Yi actually completed it in less than half a month, which is somewhat terrifying.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The enemy is about to arrive, so we have to speed up the work, otherwise Xiliang Commandery will probably be reduced to nothing under the iron cavalry of the Northern Barbarians."
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind him, making Li Sansi shudder.
Turning his head, he was immediately struck by a sight: a richly dressed young man was walking towards him, surrounded by a group of people. In Xiliang, the only person with such an air of grandeur was probably the Heir of Northern Liang.
Lin Yi!
Upon seeing this person, a glint of surprise flashed in Li Sansi's eyes. What an extraordinary young man! He possessed a strong sense of confidence that made Li Sansi feel as if he dared not look him in the eye.
He couldn't help but probe, " Lin Yi, the Heir of Northern Liang?"
"Haha, Lin Yi greets the Prince of Beining Commandery!" Lin Yi nodded and laughed.
really!
Seeing Lin Yi nod, Li Sansi couldn't help but sigh. As expected of a figure who stirs up storms, he remained neither humble nor arrogant in front of him. He was indeed a remarkable person.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, " Lin Yi, I came to Xiliang Commandery specifically for the matter of Tuoba Yu. I wonder if you are prepared?"
Throughout the entire ordeal, he never mentioned Lin Yi's insistence on keeping him, as if it never happened.
Huh!
Looking at it this way, Lin Yi thought much more highly of him. No wonder Li Anlan entrusted him with guarding the gateway to Ningchuan Commandery; his composure alone made him an extraordinary figure.
You have to understand that although the two sides are nominally on the same side, they are both well aware of what's really going on behind the scenes.
He laughed and said, "So the Prince already knows about the Northern Region Barbarians' southward invasion. I'm relieved. My Xiliang Commandery alone is no match for them; I'm afraid Your Highness will have to take action!"
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Li Sansi's lips twitched. This guy was even more shameless than his father, actually asking him for support directly. How utterly shameless!
Your father is a man of steel, he relies on himself for everything.
Your turn, brat. Not only did you extort me before, but now you actually want me to take the blame for you? You're dreaming.
He forced a smile and said solemnly, "Your father and I are close friends, so I'll call you my nephew. To be honest, Tuoba Yu is very likely targeting my Little Pine Mountain in this battle, so I'm afraid we won't be able to support Dayu County."
"But rest assured, my dear nephew, your uncle will send someone to inform His Majesty, and His Majesty will certainly send people to rescue Xiliang Commandery."
puff!
Looking at Li Sansi's kind face, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry. This old guy was quick to learn and put his skills to use. If he waited for Li Anlan to ask for help, he probably would have finished the battle before the reinforcements even arrived.
What do you mean by "close friends"? That's blatant lying, and utter nonsense at that.
But don't be so arrogant, buddy. Who knows who'll be begging whom in a little while?
He chuckled dryly and said, "Uncle is such a good man. He'll surely be rewarded with good fortune and have many children and grandchildren."
May your son be so green with envy that his head shines, and may all your descendants belong to the neighbor next door.
"Haha, thank you for your kind words, my dear nephew!" Li Sansi chuckled. This kid is quite eloquent, and not at all arrogant.
He had initially thought Lin Yi, who had swept through the Northern Liang Royal City and Xiliang Commandery, was a ruthless and murderous man, but he was surprised to find him so amicable. It seemed that people were still somewhat biased.
Waaaaah!
Just as they were about to probe the secrets of the city wall, the sound of horns suddenly rang out in the distance, causing everyone's expressions to change and become solemn.
This is the war horn!
Report!!!
"My lord, Tuoba Yu's vanguard has been spotted in the distance, scouting ahead!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. Tuoba Yu's vanguard had appeared; the enemy was about to arrive.
Li Sansi's face darkened, and he frowned, saying, "Nephew, you've made arrangements here. Your uncle must return to Little Pine Mountain immediately to prevent Bi Tuoba Yu from taking advantage of the situation and breaching it!"
No, this place is far too dangerous. We have to find a way to get away quickly.
She had only taken one step when Lin Yi stopped her.
"Uncle, the enemy is coming in overwhelming numbers. How can I let you risk your life to go back? If you fall into their hands, you will likely die a gruesome death. That would be far too dangerous."
Dead without a complete corpse?
Li Sansi's face stiffened. This bastard actually cursed him! He forced a laugh and said, "Don't worry, nephew, your uncle will walk across the Raging Waves Bridge. It's absolutely safe there."
"It's the Raging Waves Bridge that's dangerous. Tuoba Yu's Heavenly Eagle Guard arrived in Xiliang City from here. If Uncle had encountered it, the consequences would have been unimaginable!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Heavenly Eagle Guard?
Upon hearing this, Li Sansi's heart skipped a beat. How could the Heavenly Eagle Guard have entered Xiliang City? Could they be planning to assassinate Lin Yi?
Lin Yi is completely unharmed now, which means the Heavenly Eagle Guard has been captured. Could it be that he leaked the information about his connection with Tuoba Yu?
That would be troublesome.
Although some things are done in a tacit understanding, if you get caught with evidence, it can still be quite troublesome.
Thinking of this, he tentatively asked, "Nephew, did this Heavenly Eagle Guard really come from the Raging Waves Bridge?"
"Absolutely true!"
"He wanted to assassinate you?"
Of course not!
Lin Yi smiled as he watched Li Sansi continue to probe him, then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him, saying in a deep voice, "Uncle, please take a look. This is a letter from Tuoba Yu to me!"
The letter Tuoba Yu wrote to Lin Yi?
Li Sansi was startled by those words, almost scared out of his wits. When did these two get together?
When he saw the contents, his face turned green. Tuoba Yu was actually inviting Lin Yi to join him in plundering Ningchuan Commandery! This...
He glanced at the smiling Lin Yi and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
This guy is grabbing me; could he really be planning to cooperate with Tuoba Yu to attack Little Pine Mountain?
If that's really the case, then I'm in big trouble; my worries have finally come true.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Nephew, this is Tuoba Yu's attempt to sow discord. You must not act rashly. If his evil scheme succeeds, there could be rivers of blood!"
"Don't worry, Uncle!"
Lin Yi nodded, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. He sighed, "Although my uncle disagreed with our joint attack on Tuoba Yu, he still provided me with some supplies and equipment. Although these items and warhorses are all junk, I still appreciate the favor and will absolutely not join forces with him to attack my uncle."
