Bai Zizai Yi Yun exchanged a glance and headed straight for the Prince's Mansion.
Compared to Zhang Ci and the others, he was a true Northern Liang person, that is, one of the Crown Prince's own people, so there was no need to worry about being killed.
Watching their retreating figures, Hao Datong couldn't help but speak.
"Prefect, should we still go and visit Lin Yi? That guy is insane! Ran Zijin, and he was already killed. He's utterly ruthless!"
The thought of it sent chills down his spine.
He was, after all, the son of the Imperial Guard Commander, and had seen the world and all sorts of powerful figures in the court, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone dare to openly kill the Prime Minister.
Even in the case of Northern Liang, the last prime minister died of illness, but you were killed without even staying overnight, which is too obvious.
He's absolutely ruthless; working with him could easily lead to serious problems.
Zhang Ci sighed and said with a wry smile, "Of course I know this, which is why I hesitated to see him. Now that Tuoba Yu has conquered most of Great Wasteland Commandery, if the imperial army doesn't arrive soon, I'm afraid Great Wasteland Commandery won't be able to hold out."
If the Great Wasteland Commandery is gone, I'll be next.
The saying goes, "distant water cannot quench a nearby fire," and if it weren't for this problem, he wouldn't have wanted to find Lin Yi.
Why!
The two sighed, looked at the gate of the Prince's mansion, and fell silent.
This is a dilemma!
Just then, they heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats coming from the north. The two men's hearts skipped a beat, and they instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, their pupils shrinking in surprise.
"Wait, this is another cavalry force. What's their background?"
Zhang Ci had seen Lin Yi's troops last time, and the armor they wore wasn't like this. What was going on? Did Lin Yi have another cavalry force?
The flag is a horse.
Ma Chao!
Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
A name that had disappeared for some time came to mind. This person was probably Ma Chao, Lin Yi's trusted confidant who had swept through Xiliang Commandery. Why hadn't they seen him for so long?
"Something's not right. Ma Chao is Lin Yi's confidant, he's been with him from the beginning, so why didn't he participate in the previous pursuit?" Zhang Ci's eyes flashed with doubt, he couldn't figure it out, there was something fishy going on.
"No!"
Hao Datong shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The murderous aura on this person hasn't dissipated yet. He's probably just experienced a massacre. This kind of aura clearly indicates a triumphant return."
A resounding victory?
Zhang Ci rolled her eyes and said irritably, "There's no battle going on Lin Yi's side right now, so where did he get this claim of a great victory?"
" Northern Barbarians!" Hao Datong said solemnly as he watched Ma Chao enter the palace.
" Northern Barbarians?"
Zhang Ci was taken aback at first, then her expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "What do you mean? Are you saying that Lin Yi has already invaded the Northern Barbarians? That's too unbelievable!"
"Hmph, there are too many unbelievable things about Lin Yi. Tuoba Yu sent out 80,000 troops, leaving 20,000 to guard his lair. Now, his lair has probably changed hands and become Lin Yi's." Hao Datong took a deep breath and said with a look of horror.
No wonder Ma Chao disappeared for so long; he was probably after Tuoba Yu's escape route. This Prince of Xiliang is truly cunning.
Whether the Northern Barbarians can break through Mountain and River Pass this time is unknown, but the winner this time will definitely not be either Great Ning or the Northern Barbarians, but the savior who has emerged at this crucial moment, the Prince of Xiliang.
This man occupied Ningchuan Commandery and dominated the entire Dayu Pass. From then on, the order in the north was under the control of the Prince of Xiliang.
From Dayu Pass, the Prince of Xiliang can control the Great Ning Dynasty and also march north to attack the Northern Barbarians. This gives him absolute initiative, which is not good news.
Whether the North will be chaotic in the future depends on the Prince of Xiliang.
Zhang Ci swallowed hard, just about to speak, when he heard another clatter of hooves. Turning his head, he was stunned to see another cavalry unit. How could so many cavalrymen have returned?
Hao Datong said with a wry smile, "Now that Xiliang has become a legitimate vassal state, Lin Yi will probably have to prepare to reward his subordinates and also flex his muscles to the outside world!"
He looked at the newcomer, who was an old acquaintance— Zhang Liao, who had previously been in Ningchuan Commandery.
However, he wasn't the last one. A dense crowd of people surged forward, making Zhang Ci and his companion feel their scalps tingle. This was terrifying!
Is this the Heir of Northern Liang?
You could easily believe this was the emperor of Northern Liang.
[ Tiger and Leopard Cavalry ]
Zhang Liao!
[ White Horse Volunteers ]
Gongsun Zan!
[ Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors ]
Qu Yi!
[ The Formation-Breaking Camp ]
Gao Shun!
Adding to Ma Chao's [ Xiliang Iron Cavalry ] from before, there are now five major legions.
Who said Lin Yi's subordinates were all trash? That's a complete idiot! They're armed to the teeth!
Hao Datong couldn't help but shudder and whispered, "Prefect, even if we don't cooperate with the Prince of Xiliang, we absolutely mustn't offend him, otherwise our small Youning Commandery might not be able to withstand it!"
The fighting strength of these troops can be seen from their very soldiers; they are all ruthless individuals.
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of idiot. But you fucking better not tell your dad anything. If you anger Lin Yi, your dad might be wiped out before we even get here!" Zhang Ci glanced at Hao Datong and said solemnly.
He knew perfectly well that this guy had tipped off his father last time, but he simply didn't stop him.
But now that he saw Lin Yi's strength, he felt that Hao Datong should stop talking nonsense. If he angered Lin Yi, any one of the legions here could wipe out his Youning Commandery.
Don't say that Lin Yi wouldn't find out. Even Tuoba Yu knew to send people to Youning Commandery. He didn't believe that Lin Yi had no people at all.
You should know that the Net's reputation is now widespread. It is said that it has even reached Mountain and River Pass, not to mention the nearby Youning Commandery. Lin Yi probably knows exactly what kind of underwear he is wearing.
"Forehead!"
Hao Datong's lips twitched, and he was just about to speak.
"There's nothing to it, just think about Ran Zijin!" Zhang Ci glanced at him and sneered.
One sentence immediately broke Hao Datong's guard. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Prefect, I know what to do. I didn't see anything."
This level of confrontation is beyond the reach of a mere county magistrate; he should just pretend he didn't see it.
However, it would be best to warn his father not to provoke Lin Yi, or the consequences would be severe.
call!
Seeing that he had agreed, Zhang Ci breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up and leave when a hand was placed on his shoulder, making Zhang Ci's face stiffen.
He turned his head and his face immediately turned green.
Grass!
It turned out to be Lin Yi's confidant, Wang Yue.
