"Yes, there really are two invitations!"
Lin Yi looked at the two invitations and couldn't help but chuckle. This was blatant instigation. He smiled and said, "As the Prince of Great Ning, I cannot only care about the people in the north. I am willing to do my part so that the people of the All Under Heaven can have enough to eat."
"Send someone to deliver it in a grand and public manner, so that the All Under Heaven knows of my good intentions, Lin Yi. This is my way of doing my part for the people of Great Ning!"
For the sake All Under Heaven all people, we will never eat alone!
Anyway, the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes couldn't be kept secret; the news had already spread. Even if the Prince of Shu and the Prince of Min could sit still, the common people couldn't.
Moreover, these two feudal lords were no pushovers. Even if they didn't think of themselves, they would think of their descendants, so they were often powerless to do what they did.
Anyone with half a brain could see that Li Anlan's methods were clearly aimed at weakening the power of the regional military governors.
If these two don't make any moves, they'll probably be at Li Anlan's mercy in the future, which would be the most terrifying thing. So they won't just sit and wait to die.
"My lord, will the emperor issue a copy?" Xun Yu asked with a mischievous grin.
Ha ha!
Lin Yi laughed heartily and said disdainfully, "Given Li Anlan's cautious nature, even if I dared to send it, he wouldn't dare to!"
The current situation is not simple. If he is detained in Xiliang, Great Ning will inevitably be engulfed in flames of war. That inexperienced crown prince will not be able to suppress him, and he may very well be doomed.
Xun Yu nodded, "Then it can only be that His Majesty the Emperor is not fortunate enough to witness this miracle."
Watching him leave, Lin Yi slowly walked into the backyard!
Seeing Princess Shenle watering the flowers, Lin Yi slowly walked over and smiled, " Princess Shenle, how have you been these past few days?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I can finally sleep soundly here."
Seeing Lin Yi step into her courtyard, Princess Shenle's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile.
" Princess Shenle, guess who I met today..."
"Your Highness is still my nominal husband, so please just call me by my nickname Lele!"
" Lele?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh and feel a deep sense of incongruity that the domineering Princess Shenle had such an adorable nickname.
This is the person who poisoned dozens of people with a single move. Although the poison was administered by her personal maids, she didn't even spare the maids. Her name is Lele.
Princess Shenle, of course, knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, saying irritably, "Your Highness hasn't said who you met yet, so don't laugh at my nickname, that's not in Your Highness's manners!"
"Haha, I'll still call you Mingzhu!"
Lin Yi nodded and smiled, "I ran into Li Yunqing today, he..."
He told her about the fate of Li Yunqing and his mother, and also wanted to get some information about Li Anlan from her. She was practically Li Anlan's darling.
"Aunt Wang!"
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Princess Shenle's smile vanished abruptly, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. What an humiliation it was for a prince's principal wife to become a concubine of a general.
"Alas, being born into the royal family may seem like a blessing, but in reality, it's nothing short of a purgatory. Often, we cannot control our own destiny. Li Yunqing has become a pawn!"
With nearly 80,000 troops wiped out and Ningchuan Commandery fallen, someone naturally needs to take the blame. Uncle Li Sansi is undoubtedly the best choice; Aunt Wang is merely implicated.
She sighed deeply, her eyes even revealing a look of disdain.
Forehead!
Lin Yi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and laughed, " Mingzhu, you see things very clearly. So, what kind of person do you think your father is?"
Click!
Upon hearing this, Wang Zijin, who was tending to the flowers and plants, was startled and almost fell to the ground.
Lin Yi was being way too direct; it was practically a direct confrontation.
Princess Shenle gave Lin Yi a deep look, and said meaningfully, "I understand what Your Highness means, but I must remind you, my father is a master of scheming, and he is not as simple as you think!"
"Reconciliation?"
"My father was formerly the Prince of Jiangling!"
After saying this, Princess Shenle stopped talking and focused on cultivating her flowers.
" The Prince of Jiangling?"
A glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. This sentence was interesting. Did it mean that Li Anlan had hidden methods in Jiangling?
It seems necessary to have Wang Yue investigate. We overlooked this area before, and now it appears there's something fishy going on. Princess Shenle has everything in her hands; she has no reason to lie to me.
He couldn't help but laugh, " Mingzhu, I like you more and more, especially your intelligence!"
"Hmph!"
Princess Shenle snorted twice, then said seriously, "What's the use of being smart? Some people just like those simple-minded women. Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing for a woman!"
Holy crap!
Lin Yi's lips twitched. "You seem to be quite pleased with yourself."
Great Wasteland Commandery!
Dusk!
" Lin Yi, you're ruthless!"
Tuoba Yu stood atop the highest peak in the Great Wasteland Commandery, gazing towards the direction of Xiliang, his eyes flashing with murderous intent!
He had already received news that Lin Yi had somehow circled around to the rear of his territory, destroyed his stronghold, and routed his 20,000-strong army before they could even react. South Mountain Commandery had now become Lin Yi's territory!
This made Tuoba Yu very upset. This was his stronghold, where most of his wealth was located, and now Lin Yi had taken it away.
Reflecting on this battle, although he has become the current Martial Divine Minor Titled King, he has lost much more.
The Evil Bodhisattva is dead!
Xiao Shan committed suicide!
Now we've even lost our base, this is a fucking devastating loss!
There were a few people around him who had been talking, but now only Yelü Dashan, whose friend or foe was hard to tell, remained. This made him feel a little lonely, and he slowly closed his eyes.
"The success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand. You, Martial Divine King, have achieved your current status, so naturally you have to make some sacrifices. The deaths of the Evil Bodhisattva and the others are not your fault; they can only blame themselves for not having the fortune to enjoy it!"
Before he knew it, Yelü Dashan had walked up behind him and said something with a meaningful expression.
Tsk tsk!
Upon hearing his words, a hint of mockery flashed in Tuoba Yu's eyes, and he sneered, "You're quite open-minded, aren't you? No wonder you're a member of my Northern Barbarians Golden Clan!"
"Haha, the Golden Clan!"
Upon hearing this, Yelü Dashan was not angry. Instead, he looked up at the sky and laughed, his laughter tinged with sorrow.
"You yourself are a member of the Tuoba Clan Family, how could you not know the survival rules of our families! When the family needs you to sacrifice yourself, what can you do? You can't do anything! I've long been accustomed to death, so why would I be saddened by it!"
Often, things are beyond our control; after all, if you enjoy the benefits of this status, you inevitably have to bear some of the consequences.
The soldier on guard duty couldn't stand it any longer and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, you, the first family of the Northern Barbarians Tuoba Clan, the Tuoba clan, and the second family Yelü Clan, are telling me your lineage is bad?"
