Forehead!
Upon hearing these words, Li Sansi couldn't help but blush. He was the one who made the decision to discard those outdated equipment and those useless warhorses.
Lin Yi's words were a direct slap in the face, and a resounding one at that.
He said awkwardly, "This matter must have been decided He Zudao on his own. I am a close friend of your father, how could I do such a thing? I will definitely give you an explanation for this."
"Yeah?"
Absolutely!
"Then I believe my uncle will not treat me unfairly. I will absolutely not join forces with Tuoba Yu; only a beast would do that," Lin Yi said righteously.
Li Sansi's face stiffened; this Little Wang was ruthless.
Fortunately, Lin Yi did not pursue the matter further and went directly to the city wall to personally oversee the battle.
Watching Lin Yi's retreating figure, Li Sansi sighed and finally followed. There was nothing he could do; the members of the Net were eyeing him covetously, showing no intention of backing down.
Standing on the city wall, everyone's field of vision suddenly broadened, and they could see the enemy in the distance at a glance.
The vanguard appeared to be a force of no more than a hundred men, and they were slowly approaching, carefully clearing away the barricades and traps.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. This guy was quite cautious, actually sending out a vanguard to scout ahead instead of launching a full-scale attack.
"My lord, let me take care of him!" Zhou Cang glanced at Lin Yi and volunteered.
Lin Yi shook his head at his offer and laughed, "They're just a small group; the Net is enough to wipe them out!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a large number of arrows suddenly flew out from the dense forest. Before the vanguard could react, they were shot dead on the spot, leaving only a dozen or so men to flee in panic.
"Good!"
"Hahaha, as expected of our lord's Net, its firepower is truly terrifying!"
"After just one round, more than half of the enemy was killed. Now Tuoba Yu is hesitant to act rashly!"
"Awesome!"
Everyone's eyes lit up; the enemy's spies were wiped out in just one round—that was incredibly fast.
Only Li Sansi's expression changed slightly, and he became even more wary of Lin Yi. This kid, from an intelligence organization, actually possessed such terrifying combat power; it was simply too outrageous.
He couldn't help but chuckle dryly, "My dear nephew's Net is indeed formidable; it's so powerful that even Tuoba Yu dares not come out now."
"Haha, Tuoba Yu is the Great General Divine Eagle of the Northern Region Barbarians. How could he be defeated so easily? That's obviously impossible. He just released him to scout ahead!" Lin Yi shook his head and said disdainfully.
There were only a hundred people, a drop in the ocean. Tuoba Yu was just testing the waters to see if there was an ambush.
Forehead!
Hearing this, Li Sansi was speechless. Knowing full well that the other side was testing them, they still deliberately exposed their target. What kind of tactic was this? It was incredibly stupid.
Turning his head, he saw Jia Xu's meaningful gaze and his heart skipped a beat. This guy's temperament was similar to He Zudao's, but even more gloomy.
This guy is probably a cunning old fox.
Just then, everyone was suddenly awakened by a commotion. Turning around, they saw a bruised and swollen boy being led over by members of the Net. The boy seemed to be resisting fiercely, and his face was filled with fear.
"Stop! Let me go! I am the Prince of Beining Commandery! You cannot treat me like this!"
"I will never pick up the soap with you! I'm going to kill you all!"
"Ah, I want to see your crown prince!"
Prince of Beining Commandery?
All eyes turned to Li Sansi, and they immediately gave him strange looks. This guy had actually brought his son along.
But this doesn't make sense. How could his son be beaten like this? The people from Net aren't that ruthless.
"This idiot?"
Li Sansi glanced at the man, his face immediately stiffening. Hadn't he told this kid to keep a low profile and get away with it? Why did he voluntarily reveal his identity now? What an idiot!
Li Yunqing immediately saw the disappointment in her father's eyes, and felt extremely wronged.
He had already understood his father's meaning, so he planned to keep a low profile and wait to get through the situation.
But to his utter surprise, after being taken to the military camp by those people from the Net, he encountered a traditional craft called "picking up soap," which completely broke his defenses!
He was, after all, the Prince of Beining Commandery. If he were to be taken advantage of, he would become a laughingstock of the All Under Heaven.
He said aggrievedly, "Father, they are so disgusting, they actually have homosexual tendencies, I..."
What?
Upon hearing this, Li Sansi's face turned green; his son had almost been... well, you know.
OMG.
No wonder his son couldn't help but reveal his identity; if he had been any slower, he would have become a laughingstock and been ridiculed by the All Under Heaven.
Oh well, if we're exposed, so be it.
With the Great Ning Dynasty's strength in place, Lin Yi wouldn't dare do anything to him. Unless Lin Yi wanted to rebel, he wouldn't dare touch him and his son.
With a sigh, Li Sansi said with a wry smile, "Nephew, this is my son, Li Yunqing. There seems to be some misunderstanding. Please have them release him."
"What? This is the heir of the Prince of Beining Commandery? He is indeed a handsome man!" Lin Yi looked at the man whose head had been beaten into a pig's head and couldn't help but twitch his lips. Your son is truly outstanding!
Forehead!
Li Sansi's face darkened; this bastard's words were barbed. However, he couldn't afford to argue with Lin Yi now; after all, he had to bow his head under someone else's roof. He'd better wait until he was safe before making a move.
Li Yunqing, however, could no longer contain himself. He said in a deep voice, " Lin Yi, you people have gone too far! How dare they treat me like this! I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi interrupted him.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things. The enemy could attack at any moment. Let's repel Tuoba Yu first," Lin Yi said solemnly.
What, repel the enemy?
Upon hearing this, Li Yunqing's face turned green, and he couldn't help but frown, asking, " Tuoba Yu's army numbers 100,000, how many of you are there?!"
"Thirty thousand!" Zhang Liao said proudly.
puff!
Li Yunqing immediately wanted to curse. Thirty thousand against one hundred thousand? This was practically suicide.
That bastard Lin Yi not only stayed here waiting to die, but he also dragged me along. This is simply outrageous.
I, the Crown Prince, curse your entire army to be wiped out!
Even Li Sansi couldn't stand it anymore. You have 30,000 men fighting against 100,000 and you still want to repel them? Don't you guys want to fly to the heavens?
He said in a deep voice, "Nephew, I think it's better for you to hold the city and wait for an opportunity. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
He also felt that Lin Yi must be out of his mind. How could 30,000 men fight against 100,000 and still expect to repel them? Did he think Tuoba Yu was a good-for-nothing like Zhuo Feifan?
