You're kidding me!
Princess Consort of Beining knew perfectly well that if Lin Yi was truly incapable, how could he have had the opportunity to come and aid Ningchuan Commandery? It was utter nonsense.
However, after seeing the imperial edict in Lin Yi's hand, she understood to some extent that he had probably come because of the governor of Xiliang.
From now on, Ningchuan Commandery will belong to Lin Yi.
Thinking of this, she sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Your Highness is a man of extraordinary talent. I hope you will treat the people of Ningchuan Commandery well in the future. The Prince's defeat this time has caused Ningchuan Commandery to suffer so much; the people have suffered too much."
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. This Princess Consort of Beining was quite a character; she could let go of things so easily, without any hesitation.
That's not all; he even took the blame for himself. What a good person!
It's a pity I'm not Cao Aman, otherwise I certainly wouldn't have let this person go.
He nodded and said solemnly, "Your Highness, please rest assured. How I, Lin Yi, treat my people is known throughout the All Under Heaven. I will not mistreat them. However, the whereabouts of the Heir of Beining are currently unknown. I will help Your Highness search for him."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness. You are very busy with official duties, so I will not disturb you any longer." Princess Consort of Beining nodded slightly and took her leave.
She decided to return to the capital, far away from this place of sorrow.
As for taking back Ningchuan Commandery, she never even considered it. This place had never belonged to her and her husband, and Lin Yi's strength, shrewdness, and interpersonal skills were far superior to those of her son.
It's better not to get involved; let him arm wrestle with the emperor.
"Bite!"
Just as she turned around, a golden notification sound appeared in Lin Yi's mind. He couldn't help but glance at the Princess Consort of Beining, and his mouth dropped open in astonishment.
Holy crap!
He actually managed to win over the Princess Consort of Beining with her Win People Over with Virtue?!
Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. The Princess Consort of Beining was over forty years old; surely the system wouldn't have such a heavy taste?
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for winning over the Princess Consort of Beining with Win People Over with Virtue virtue, causing her to willingly withdraw from Ningchuan Commandery, and gaining the wise and capable wife Cai Yan, the most talented young woman of the Three Kingdoms!"
Forehead!
Cai Yan?
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. They actually gave him Cai Yan? Did they think he was too aloof from women?
However, he didn't have time to pay attention to that at the moment, because his mind was already overwhelmed by a deluge of information.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on your great fortune! You have successfully captured Ningchuan Commandery, achieved the first kill of a top-tier county-level unit, received a super critical hit, and obtained 50,000 elite White Feather Soldiers and the peerless general Chen Dao!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for subduing others with martial prowess, killing over 10,000 of Tuoba Yu, and acquiring 10,000 elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue and successfully gaining the gratitude of Zhang Huizu, a commoner of Ningchuan Commandery, and acquiring Gong Yuliang, a master of crossbow manufacturing."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue and successfully obtaining the gratitude of Zhang Huiyao, a citizen of Ningchuan Commandery, and receiving 500 catties of corn seeds."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue and successfully gaining the gratitude of Chef Zhang Sanfa of the tavern. You have obtained the Complete Kitchen Seeds."
In one go, Lin Yi swiped through tens of thousands of messages and obtained a large amount of supplies. Apart from some crop seeds, his biggest gain was probably the appearance of some professional talents.
Similar to Gong Yuliang, a master of crossbow manufacturing, although his name is not widely known, he was certainly no ordinary person to be called a master.
What excited Lin Yi the most wasn't anything else, but the fact that the rewards from this top-tier county actually included Chen Dao and the White Feather Soldiers —it was just too damn satisfying.
Nothing more!
These White Feather Soldiers were Liu Bei Liu Bei's elite personal guard, essentially his last line of defense, and their strength was undoubtedly formidable.
His record will now be linked to Chen Dao.
Although Chen Dao was not as famous as Zhao Yun, his martial prowess was even considered to be no less than Zhao Yun's. Some even believed that Zhao Yun stole some of Chen Dao's credit, which is why he became so famous.
Lin Yi was unaware of these things, but Chen Dao's appointment as Marquis and General Who Conquers the West already demonstrated his abilities.
Moreover, in the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun set fire to Liu Bei's camps, forcing Liu Bei to retreat in panic. It was Chen Dao who led a few hundred White Feather Soldiers to fight against tens of thousands of the Wu Army, demonstrating his formidable fighting prowess.
Even if the historical accounts are somewhat exaggerated, they are enough to illustrate the strength of Chen Dao and his White Feather Soldiers.
Now, not only have I gained 50,000 White Feather Soldiers, but I have also obtained the peerless general Chen Dao. No wonder this is called a super critical hit; it truly lives up to its reputation as a reward from a top-tier county.
Lin Yi is now looking forward to Ma Chao's territory. Once Ma Chao conquers it and combines it with the existing territory of Xiliang Commandery, which can be considered a top-tier county, he will surely be able to earn super rewards.
As for the 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that Tuoba Yu had summoned, Lin Yi couldn't help but sneer. He had actually lost 10,000 in just a short time during the battle. He wondered if he would still be able to conquer Youning Commandery.
With a thought, two figures appeared in front of Lin Yi.
The two figures, a man and a woman, were none other than Cai Yan, the most talented woman of the Three Kingdoms period, and Chen Dao, the unparalleled general.
" Cai Yan / Chen Dao pays respects to our lord!"
Upon first seeing this woman, considered the most talented woman of the Three Kingdoms period, Lin Yi couldn't help but take a closer look. She was indeed a great beauty; no wonder she was known as the woman Cao Cao secretly admired.
She was serene and composed, yet her eyes were truly full of wisdom. Her beauty wasn't the kind that was breathtaking, but rather a blend of inner and outer beauty that made people want to explore her.
However, she was still a young girl at this moment, and it seemed that she had not yet been harmed by the Xiongnu.
Looking at Chen Dao again, this man was about the same height as himself, but his body was burly and powerful, full of explosive strength, and his face revealed determination, as if nothing could frighten him.
Upon seeing the two, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, excitedly saying, " Shuzhi, Wenji, no need for formalities. I've long heard of you two, and seeing you today, you truly are extraordinary!"
"You flatter me, my lord." Cai Wenji blushed shyly, but couldn't help stealing a glance at Lin Yi, looking like a young girl in love.
Lin Yi: "..."
Chen Dao, however, was more straightforward. He said in a deep voice, "My lord, I and my 50,000 White Feather Soldiers all belong to you. I am willing to kill all enemies for you, until my death!"
kindness!
Lin Yi was very satisfied with Chen Dao's self-awareness; this was the kind of person who was destined for great things.
He said in a deep voice, "Now that I have the Net, Shuzhi cooperate with Gongsun Zan to control Ningchuan Commandery and prevent Li Anlan from heading north again. Now that we have it, we can't let it go!"
We can't let the duck that's already in our hands fly away; that's absolutely unacceptable.
The defense of Ningchuan Commandery is quite simple. As long as they block the riverbank of the Great Ning River, it will be harder than climbing to heaven for Wuning Commandery on the other side to come over. They will have to cross the river to attack, and they will be easy targets on the way.
