"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
"Shortly after the Prince left, a group of assassins rushed straight to the Prince's camp. General Who Pacifies the North was seriously injured, and if General Song hadn't discovered it in time, he would probably be dead."
The newcomers dared not look at Li Sansi's face and spoke tremblingly.
"The assassins headed straight for the main camp?"
Upon hearing this, Li Sansi's heart skipped a beat.
The main camp was originally his own tent, his own command post. He Zudao was just handling military affairs inside when he was assassinated. It was probably aimed at him.
Damn it!
At this moment, even Li Sansi, who was usually very tolerant, could not help but be enraged.
This is blatant assassination, a threat to my life. It's the last straw, and this matter must be brought to a close.
Lin Yi knew he wasn't at Little Pine Mountain and probably wouldn't do that.
That leaves only Tuoba Yu.
Click click click!
Li Sansi's fingers were cracking, and he felt terrible.
What a scoundrel Tuoba Yu! He's probably worried that I'll secretly attack him, so he wants to throw my side into chaos first.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and mutter, "That Tuoba Yu, I'm not finished with you!"
I've already done you so much favor, and you still dare to pull this trick? This is simply outrageous! I'll make you pay the price!
"Uncle, don't worry. We've crippled them now, they shouldn't dare to lay a hand on Little Pine Mountain. Your health is the most important thing. If something happens to you, Little Pine Mountain will be leaderless." Lin Yi comforted him with a face full of concern.
To hell with your leaderless regime!
Li Sansi glanced at Lin Yi and said solemnly, "Nephew, I really can't stay any longer this time. Otherwise, something might happen at Little Pine Mountain, and I can't bear the blame if the Emperor finds out!"
The subtext is, "Now you should let me go."
"Uncle is right. In that case, I won't keep you any longer." Lin Yi nodded seriously and smiled.
"Snort!"
Li Sansi snorted coldly and stormed off.
He couldn't bother settling scores with Lin Yi; he had to get back to Little Pine Mountain immediately, or something bad would definitely happen there.
With such a tall city wall on Lin Yi's side, Tuoba Yu would obviously have to return empty-handed unless he was willing to slink back. Otherwise, his next target would inevitably be Little Pine Mountain.
Little Pine Mountain is in big trouble.
May you rest in peace, Uncle!
Watching their retreating figures, Lin Yi couldn't help but murmur to himself.
The old man finally left on his own. If it weren't for his appearance, Tuoba Yu would have been in even worse shape today. You know, there were explosives buried all along the way. If they had been detonated, Tuoba Yu would probably have been devastated.
However, every advantage has its disadvantage. Li Sansi saved Tuoba Yu's life, and now Tuoba Yu will surely be grateful to him and go to Little Pine Mountain to recover some of his losses. In that case, it will also be a good thing for Lin Yi.
"Your Highness, should we send someone to kill Li Sansi?" Someone spoke up at this moment, and what they said was a bombshell.
What?
Lin Yi stared at Bai Zizai in disbelief. This old man was truly ruthless; he actually wanted to kill Li Sansi. No wonder he was known as Butcher Bai.
He chuckled dryly, " The Prince of Beining Commandery and my father have a good relationship. Now that they're in such trouble, how could I possibly kick him when he's down?"
What?
Upon hearing this, Bai Zizai and the others were dumbfounded. When did the young master become so shy? This is not right.
"Your Highness, now that we've killed Li Sansi, we can easily frame Tuoba Yu. After all, they've already made a move once, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to make another one!" Yi Yun couldn't help but remind him.
"No need to say anything more, my mind is made up!"
Lin Yi shook his head, directly rejecting the suggestion, and said in a deep voice, " Wang Yue, send a message to Zhang Liao, tell him to return after driving his men to the Jumbled Shi Lin, and not to give the enemy any opportunity!"
Jumbled Shi Lin?
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, but then suddenly realized what he meant.
The Crown Prince is indeed terrifying!
Driving Tuoba Yu to the Jumbled Shi Lin, a crossroads of three directions, is clearly a way to send Tuoba Yu to attack Little Pine Mountain. This...
Yi Yun, who had just thought the Crown Prince was being a bit too merciful, suddenly felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth. He had been too naive. Sure enough, the Crown Prince was still the same Crown Prince, impossible to guard against!
If Tuoba Yu didn't want to suffer such a humiliating defeat, then he would have no choice but to bite the bullet and attack Little Pine Mountain.
It seems Li Sansi isn't going to let this go either; these two are probably going to fight.
etc!
There's another question.
"Has this Tuoba Yu gone mad? He actually wants to assassinate Li Sansi. Isn't he afraid that Li Sansi will attack them in a fit of anger?" Yi Yun frowned, unable to understand.
This is outrageous. Tuoba Yu shouldn't be that stupid; this is far too risky.
Could it be...?
He looked at his young master, wondering if this was the work of the young master's subordinates Net organization.
Holy crap, the Crown Prince is terrifying!
He shrank back, feeling that Xiliang Commandery was too terrifying, and it seemed he needed to find a chance to slip away.
At this moment, the people also noticed that the shouts of battle at the city gate had stopped, and they cautiously approached the city gate, wanting to find out what was going on.
The city gates have been reopened to traffic, and the prince's own soldiers are clearing away the corpses there. All these signs indicate that the prince has won.
The old man leading the group trembled with excitement and shouted towards the city wall, "Your Highness, have we driven those Northern Barbarians out of the city in this battle?"
"Yes, sir, we won!"
Hearing the old man's call from the city wall, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and wave in response.
Wow!!!
In an instant, a thunderous cheer erupted from below, and the people waved their hands wildly as if they had gone mad.
These words sounded like celestial music to them; they were the most pleasing sound to their ears.
"My God, we won this battle!"
"Long live the Crown Prince! He has successfully kept the enemy out! Those damned Northern Barbarians didn't even get a single step into my Xiliang this time!"
"Hahaha, the Crown Prince is truly amazing! As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Look at those corpses! They're all those Northern Barbarians. We've won a great victory this time!"
"Damn it, hurry back and slaughter the cattle and sheep! We need to reward the prince, our soldiers, and our meritorious officials!"
The common people were moved to tears. Even with the protection of Northern Liang, they had always lived in constant fear.
Upon hearing that Tuoba Yu was about to head south, they all felt their hopes were slim, since the prince didn't have many troops at his disposal this time.
But to everyone's surprise, the crown prince was so amazing that he not only built the city wall in seven days, but also routed the enemy without even touching a single civilian.
For them, that was the happiest thing in the world: Dayu County was now safe.
Xiliang Commandery is safe now!
