"Hahaha!"

Lin Yi looked at Wei Tong, who seemed completely self-righteous, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This Wei Tong was quite interesting; he actually dared to act tough in front of this young master.

His fingers tapped on the table; should he take this opportunity to kill this guy?

Holy crap!

In that instant, Wei Tong felt a deep sense of malice. Lin Yi's smile sent chills down his spine; this guy wanted to kill him.

This guy truly lives up to his reputation as Lin Rusong's son; he's a man with a deep-seated murderous intent. You either don't mess with these kinds of people, or you have to wipe them out completely, otherwise the consequences will be dire.

But for now, it's best not to offend him, or you'll be in big trouble!

Cough cough!

He coughed twice and chuckled dryly, "What do you mean by this, Your Highness? Is there something so funny?"

That bastard, he's not really trying to kill me, is he?

Lin Yi waved his hand and laughed, "No, I was just thinking about something happy. So Commander Wei is also here for the Chrysanthemum Banquet? Then it's really a misunderstanding. I'll have someone release you right away!"

He then waved his hand, and the two members of the Net released him immediately.

call!

Wei Tong breathed a long sigh of relief, only to realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat. He had finally escaped a disaster.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his frustration, and put on a smile, saying, "As long as it was a misunderstanding, that's good. My relationship with the Prince of Northern Liang is extremely close, and I didn't want any misunderstandings. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it's a good thing!"

Lin Yi curled his lip. "I don't believe your nonsense. It's good enough that you and the old man aren't fighting. You're talking about being bosom friends. That's complete rubbish."

But this guy is clever; he knows how to use the old man to build a relationship.

"Commander Wei, the people of Xiliang Commandery are living in such dire straits. You should put in a good word for us with the Xiliang Commandery and give us more supplies!" Lin Yi sighed and said in a deep voice.

Forehead!

Is Xiliang Commandery still poor?

Wei Tong glanced at the bustling street next to him. This level of prosperity was much better than Ningchuan Commandery. If this was considered poor, then many places in Great Ning must be extremely poor.

This kid is clearly trying to screw me over; this is no place to stay.

He chuckled dryly, "Your Highness, I will report this matter to the Emperor and will certainly convey your needs to him."

"Haha, then thank you very much, Commander Wei."

"Your Highness, I have a request to make. I wonder if Your Highness could assist me in this matter?"

"What is it?"

"The battle at Little Pine Mountain is still ongoing, Prince of Beining Commandery is facing a threat. I wonder if the Crown Prince can lend the Prince of Beining Commandery a hand?"

Forehead!

Lin Yi sneered. When 80,000 people attacked him, no one came to his aid. Now that Li Sansi is being attacked, he's expected to help Li Sansi? What kind of logic is that?

What a joke! That's wishful thinking. I'm not going to put up with that.

He said in a deep voice, "Commander Wei, do you know that when my Xiliang Commandery faced an attack from an enemy army of 80,000, Li Sansi did not help me at all, causing heavy losses to my Xiliang Commandery army? Now you want me to help him?"

Forehead!

Wei Tong's face stiffened. He naturally knew about this matter, but things were different now.

The Emperor wants Xiliang Commandery Xiliang Commandery, so naturally he won't help it. But now it's Great Ning that's being attacked, so they have to save them.

But Lin Yi's words now made him incredibly embarrassed.

It seemed Lin Yi truly had no intention of helping Li Sansi. He could only manage a dry laugh and say, "In that case, Your Highness, I won't disturb you any longer. I'm feeling a bit unwell right now, so I'll take my leave!"

"Haha, of course!"

Seeing that he had backed down, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and nod. Anyway, now was not the time to kill Wei Tong, so he naturally didn't need to use his power. It was a good thing that he was leaving now, so that he wouldn't have to keep scheming against Xiliang Commandery.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wei Tong turned and left; this was not a place to linger.

If Lin Yi changes his mind, then he's doomed.

But after he left, Mo Ni was left there trembling with fear, thinking, "Why the hell didn't you take me with you?"

Sure enough, Lin Yi looked at him and asked, "There's also a Wafting Fragrance Pavilion in Northern Liang City. You're owned by the same person, right? Can you tell me who your boss is?"

Forehead!

Upon hearing this, Mo Ni's mind went blank; this was a huge problem.

Now that the prince suspects him, it seems he must find a way to leave. He said calmly, "Your Highness, our boss is just an ordinary wealthy merchant; you shouldn't know him."

hehe!

Lin Yi scoffed at this claim. The idea that an ordinary businessman could chase after him to open a brothel was utterly ridiculous.

He glanced at Wang Yue and laughed, "Since you're unwilling to talk, that's simple. Wang Yue, shut down this Wafting Fragrance Pavilion. It's harboring malicious intentions; I want to see if the Net can uncover who's behind it all!"

"Your Highness, please don't!"

Mo Ni's expression changed drastically. He no longer bothered to hide his true feelings and explained, "Your Highness, we are really just ordinary merchants. Please don't do this!"

He knew very well that this prince was the master of Xiliang Commandery. If he were to seize and seal off Wafting Fragrance Pavilion, the Wafting Fragrance Pavilion in Northern Liang would likely be implicated, which would be a major disaster.

"Hmph, would an ordinary merchant possess a secret passage? Would an ordinary merchant have connections with the Great Ning Guard? Do you think I'm just a figurehead?" Lin Yi gave him a cold look, then turned and left.

seal up!

Wang Yue sneered and immediately summoned the members of the Net to begin sealing off the shop and arresting people.

The commotion frightened the customers below into silence. They stared at Lin Yi in horror, never expecting the young master to throw a tantrum. Was visiting a brothel illegal?

Watching Lin Yi's retreating figure, Mo Ni wished he could kill him with a single blow, but could only wail, "Young Master, you're innocent! Our Wafting Fragrance Pavilion has absolutely no malicious intentions, we have nothing to do with Wei Tong!"

"Hmph, whether you are irrelevant or not is not up to you to decide, but up to our lord!" Wang Yue sneered, his face full of disdain.

This guy is very good at hiding, but under the control of the Net, as long as you make the slightest move, you will have nowhere to hide.

The common people below were completely bewildered by this scene. Could it be that Wafting Fragrance Pavilion had really broken the law?

"What's going on? Why does the young master suddenly want to seal off Wafting Fragrance Pavilion?"

"I heard that the Wafting Fragrance Pavilion is full of spies who wanted to harm our young master, but unfortunately, the young master is more cunning, and they were exposed."

"What? They're actually spies?"

"That makes some sense. Otherwise, why would they open so many Wafting Fragrance Pavilion? It's clearly a strategy to dominate the All Under Heaven."

"Good heavens, visiting brothels these days is risky; you might just be sleeping with an assassin!"
