Holy crap!

Zhang Ci and Hao Datong's expressions changed drastically, their hearts sinking to the bottom. This was incredibly awkward.

Wang Yue, leader of the Net!

Seeing the smiling Wang Yue, Zhang Ci forced a smile and said kindly, "So it's Commander Wang! We came to Ningchuan Commandery this time to admire the heroic figure of the Prince of Xiliang, and we have no hostility whatsoever!"

They had just praised the Net Net's strength when they turned around and ran into its leader. This was going to be troublesome.

Hao Datong was also in a bad mood. As soon as he reached for his sword, he felt countless sharp eyes staring at him, which frightened him so much that he quickly dropped the sword on the ground.

Taking action under these circumstances would likely turn him into a hedgehog, making him an accomplice of Ran Zijin.

"Haha, we noticed you entered Xiliang, but since you didn't break the rules, we didn't disturb you," Wang Yue said with a smile, not hiding anything.

call!

Seeing Wang Yue's smile, Zhang Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a little embarrassed that she had already been discovered, it was still a good thing.

Lin Yi hasn't killed the two of them for so long, why would he suddenly want to kill them now?

He chuckled dryly, "So that the commander knows that our Youning Commandery is facing a threat from Tuoba Yu, which is why we've come to the Prince of Xiliang for help. We hope he can lend us a hand!"

"You should tell the lord about this in person!" Wang Yue glanced at him and smiled.

Zhang Ci's face stiffened. Could it be that he couldn't escape this fate after all?

"Don't worry, our lord is very kind and always believes in winning people over with Win People Over with Virtue. He would never do anything to you two," Wang Yue explained with a smile, seeing through his thoughts at a glance.

Forehead!

Zhang Ci and Hao Datong could only laugh awkwardly at this explanation. The Prince of Xiliang had indeed tried to Win People Over with Virtue, but those people were mostly dead; there was no way to disobey him.

"The Crown Prince's benevolence is truly a blessing for all the people of the All Under Heaven, and a blessing for our Youning Commandery."

"To be honest, I, Hao Datong, have long admired the Prince of Xiliang of Prince of Xiliang and am on my way to pay him a visit!"

The two exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with smiles. If they didn't smile now, they wouldn't be able to smile later!

Wang Yue smiled and invited, "In that case, you two should go. The lord is currently waiting for you at his residence."

"Forehead!"

The two sighed, but still followed Wang Yue. So be it, they thought, "So what if we die?"

Upon entering the Prince's mansion, the two were taken aback. This was actually the backyard of the mansion, and even more strangely, it turned out to be a workshop. This surprised them greatly.

There was a series of loud crackling sounds inside, and no one knew what was happening. The people who had just entered the Prince's mansion didn't dare to move and obediently waited there.

Seeing this, Zhang Ci became extremely curious, her heart pounding like a cat's claws, wishing she could peek inside to see what was going on and why so many people were guarding it.

Upon seeing the two of them, Ma Chao and the others glanced at him but remained silent, continuing to wait without a hint of complaint.

This attitude made Hao Datong's scalp tingle. These people were clearly not ordinary people, yet they showed such reverence for Lin Yi. One could imagine how terrifying Lin Yi was; it was definitely not just talk.

The title of Prince of Xiliang is truly well-deserved.

Cough cough!

Just then, a soft cough came from inside; it was Lin Yi's voice. He smiled and said, " Wenji, after all these days of hard work, your newspaper is finally finished!"

newspaper?

Upon hearing the name, Zhang Ci, who had been listening intently, was immediately taken aback. In all his years, this was the first time he'd ever heard of a newspaper. What was that?

He glanced at Hao Datong and saw that the latter also looked bewildered. He couldn't help but sigh, feeling like a country bumpkin who had come to the city.

Fortunately, at that moment, the door opened, and Lin Yi slowly walked out. Behind him was a gentle and beautiful woman.

Who is this woman?

Zhang Ci skipped a beat. Could this person be the princess?

Ma Chao and the others immediately knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "We pay our respects to our lord and greet Miss Cai Yan!"

" Zhang Ci and Hao Datong of Youning Commandery pay their respects to the Prince of Xiliang!" Zhang Ci and Hao Datong also bowed. Lin Yi's official rank and status are much higher than theirs now, so this bow was perfectly acceptable.

"Haha, no need for formalities."

Lin Yi helped the group up and said with a smile, "I invited you here today to show you something that Miss Cai Yan made. It will definitely broaden your horizons!"

Clap clap clap!

He clapped his hands, and immediately a maid brought out several newspapers and handed them to everyone, including Zhang Ci and the other woman.

Upon seeing this, Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with delight, "My lord, could this be the newspaper you mentioned earlier, the one that could change the course of the All Under Heaven?"

He had previously heard his lord say that this thing could change the world, which made him incredibly curious as to why it possessed such power.

It's just a piece of paper, so why is it so powerful?

"To change the All Under Heaven order?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment. This was simply too powerful! Could a mere piece of paper really possess such influence?

Zhang Ci was also taken aback. Great Ning also had paper, but she had never heard of it being able to change the world order. Was Lin Yi just bragging?

He disregarded his own politeness and quickly opened the newspaper to read it.

The very first opening chapter made his pupils shrink; the first article was none other than " The Heir's Dream."

It not only describes a dream of the Prince of Xiliang, which he had dreamed of since he was the crown prince, but also his aspirations for the lives of the people, and even some future prospects.

That's not all, but it also did something else: it explained the legitimacy of Xiliang and its absolute control over Ningchuan Commandery.

Good heavens, this is practically a direct takeover of Ningchuan Commandery!

He stole a glance at Lin Yi, who was leisurely drinking tea with a beauty, and couldn't help but sigh before continuing to watch.

At this moment, Xun Yu couldn't help but sigh, "What a wonderful the Heir's Dream! No wonder he could become the Prince of Xiliang. I never imagined that he had such a heart to save the people from the very beginning. If things could truly turn out as he dreamed, it would definitely be a peaceful and prosperous era!"

"That must be the immortal realm!" Gao Shun filled with tears, a longing that wished his lord could achieve such a thing.

Zhang Liao exclaimed, "It is a blessing for both Xiliang and Northern Liang that our lord can have such a grand ambition. I believe that our lord can definitely achieve it! If our lord cannot do it, then no one in the world can."

"Indeed, who else but our lord can save the people of Northern Liang and Xiliang!" Ma Chao glanced at Zhang Ci and Hao Datong, and said solemnly.

Holy crap, why are you looking at me like that!

Zhang Ci's lips twitched. "You guys are too arrogant. You're practically threatening to rebel."
