The Prince of Xiliang!
Lin Yi sat on the throne, wearing a purple dragon robe. As he swayed, several black dragons on the robe bared their fangs and claws, displaying an air of dominance.
A get-out-of-jail-free card!
A cold smile flashed in his eyes as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.
Even before Li Anlan had left the capital after issuing the imperial edict, the news had already reached his ears.
It's amazing he could come up with such a thing; he's always thinking of wishful thinking.
He couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, offering me a get-out-of-jail-free card, Li Anlan really knows how to come up with something. If this thing could actually save you from death, that would be truly strange!"
"Haha, the greatest get-out-of-jail-free card is one's own strength. With our lord's strength, Li Anlan is probably more likely to use this get-out-of-jail-free card!" Xun Yu smiled, a playful look on his face.
Li Anlan was only unaware of his lord's true nature; otherwise, he would probably be in a terrible predicament right now.
Chen Qun was both amused and exasperated, sighing, "I'm afraid the biggest reason is that there's no one left to bestow titles upon. Now that our lord is already a vassal king, the highest title besides a few princes, the next best thing to be bestowed would either be the crown prince or the throne would have to be relinquished."
Hahaha!
Everyone burst into laughter. Thinking about it carefully, he really had it tough.
Our lord's current strength is enough to rival Li Anlan's; Li Anlan is powerless to influence the north, and if he were to be promoted any higher, he would truly have to relinquish his position.
At this moment, Wang Yue walked in from outside.
"My lord, the procession escorting the war criminals from the Jushi Kingdom has arrived and is waiting outside the palace. Because of the presence of prison carts, it's inconvenient for them to enter the palace." He whispered.
kindness!
Lin Yi nodded slightly. Prison carts were naturally not allowed to enter the Prince's residence; it was considered somewhat unlucky.
He laughed and said, "Let's go, follow me and see who this person who dares to provoke my Xiliang is!"
After saying that, he stepped down from the throne and headed out the door.
Gongsun Zan and the others exchanged glances, then smiled and followed. It was said that this time it wasn't just the King of the Jushi Kingdom who was there, but also many people who had brought gifts.
When they saw Lin Yi appear at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, the people of Xiliang outside couldn't help but cheer.
"Greetings, Prince of Xiliang!"
"Long live the Prince! May he bless my family with many children and grandchildren."
"Well done, Your Highness..."
Looking at the purple figure, their eyes were filled with respect. It was the Prince of Xiliang who had made their lives better, and no one would dare to bully them again.
Seeing so many people outside, Lin Yi couldn't help but chuckle and waved to them as a greeting.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Zhang Feng, the commander of the Western Regions branch of the Net), slowly walked over and respectfully handed over the compiled ledgers. These were the ledgers of the seized supplies, and they were more than an inch thick.
Ha ha!
A smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he nodded and said, " The Net has worked hard this time. From now on, you will be the head of the Net in the Western Regions. I hope you will continue to do your best!"
This time, Net not only acted as an inside agent at the beginning, but also beheaded some important figures in the Jushi Kingdom and even captured the King of the Jushi Kingdom. They have made great contributions and deserve recognition.
"Thank you, my lord! I will certainly ensure that the entire Western Regions are shrouded in the shadow of the Net!"
Zhang Feng was overjoyed!
Although he was summoned by his lord, he still liked the promotion, as it would allow him to better serve his lord.
Lin Yi took the ledger and glanced at it casually. Most of the items were gold and silver, followed by some rare jade. It seemed that the Western Regions were quite lucrative, and the value of these items had already reached more than 20 million strings of cash.
This figure is considerable, considering that these two countries are only the size of a palm. To possess so much wealth clearly indicates that these two are not good people and have engaged in numerous acts of robbery and plunder.
With a flourish of his pen, he casually tossed it to Xun Yu, who stood to the side, and said with a smile, "Aside from some military equipment and supplies being confiscated and placed in the Prince's Palace, thirty percent of the remaining wealth shall be distributed to the soldiers who have rendered meritorious service this time!"
"Thirty percent? That's too much!"
Xun Yu was greatly surprised. Don't underestimate this small amount of 30%; it's worth millions of strings of cash. My lord is being far too generous.
Such a grand gesture is unprecedented; even the Great Ning Dynasty probably couldn't withstand it.
"It's alright!"
Lin Yi shook his head, looking at the group of people with fanatical eyes, and couldn't help but laugh, "These people are my get-out-of-jail-free cards. They don't need land, so what's a little extra money? It's nothing!"
These soldiers were all recruited by themselves, and even if they were farming, they would be farming for themselves. Rather than giving them land or anything, it would be better to just give them money, so that their relationship as master and servant would not be in vain.
"My lord's insightful views are a blessing to our soldiers of Xiliang!" Xun Yu was speechless and said with a bitter smile.
He then turned to the group of soldiers and laughed, "Did you hear that? The lord said that those who have rendered meritorious service this time will have their rewards doubled, you'll be well-fed and drunk, and he'll even give you some women as a reward. Do you know what to do?"
Oh My God!
The soldiers erupted in commotion. Their lord had been so generous; they had really struck gold this time. Overjoyed, they immediately knelt on one knee before Lin Yi.
Long live the Lord!
Such a lord is truly a worthy leader for us, and only such a lord is worthy of our utmost efforts.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for winning Win People Over with Virtue, which has deeply moved Wu Di of the Asura Army, who is determined to slay all enemies for you. Reward: Mo Dao crafting technique."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for winning people over with Win People Over with Virtue, bringing tears to the eyes of the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors Zhang Fengnian. You are rewarded with a long spear."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue, making Wang Yihan, a commoner of Xiliang, extremely envious and wanting to fight for you. Reward: ten catties of sweet potatoes."
"..."
In an instant, messages kept flashing through Lin Yi's mind, completely dominating the screen. Even some ordinary people joined in the rewards, leaving Lin Yi dumbfounded.
etc!
Something incredible just appeared; a Mo Dao (陌刀) actually appeared! That's a really good item.
The Mo Dao troops, advancing like a wall, are said to be able to cut warhorses and men in two, making them absolute battlefield gods. I never expected to find one on a Asura Army soldier.
This Wu Di seems to be a captain in the Asura Army. He's surprisingly quite capable, which puts him in a great mood.
Ha ha!
Lin Yi laughed heartily, gestured for everyone to quiet down, and then shouted, "Brothers, today I, the King, am hosting a banquet at the West Training Ground to reward the entire army! Brothers, let's drink until we're drunk!"
Long live our lord!!!
The crowd cheered, praising their lord as a truly kind and considerate man.
Hearing this, the surrounding people looked on with envy. Not only was the bonus doubled, but they were also being given beautiful women. The treatment was too good to pass up, and it made them all want to join the army.
