At this moment, Cai Yan thought of something and couldn't help but frown, saying, "Husband, a big news broke today in the Jushi Kingdom, which actually concerns the current emperor. Should we really publish it directly?"
The two men instinctively looked at Princess Shenle, and seeing that her expression was normal, they couldn't help but look at her strangely.
If she wasn't faking it, then she really was unhappy with Li Anlan.
"Don't look at me. Politics has always been ugly. I'm now married into the Xiliang, though not in name only, I'm still a member of the Lin Clan. Do whatever you want!"
Princess Shenle shook her head, her face serious.
Wow, that's amazing!
Lin Yi couldn't help but give a thumbs up; Li Mingzhu was truly a clear-headed person.
He looked at Cai Yan with a serious expression and said, "The Northern Daily is a factual newspaper. We only need to tell the truth. As for the rest, I will take care of it!"
Therefore, it is not only necessary to publish it, but to publish it extensively, so that the people of Youning Commandery and other places also have the right to know.
Now that Xiliang and Great Ning have already drawn blood, they're just one step away from breaking the ice. So there's no need to hold back anymore; they can just go ahead and make it official.
Not only could this damage Li Anlan's prestige, but it could also further promote the spread of the newspaper. Why not do it?
Forehead!
Princess Shenle was utterly exasperated. Her father's decision to scheme against Lin Yi was absolutely a mistake. If word got out, the people of the north would likely have a lot of complaints about her father.
Cai Yan nodded slightly, already understanding the situation.
If today's events are made headlines tomorrow, and after the public trial tomorrow, perhaps some additional information can be added to directly push the matter to the appropriate level.
Lin Yi glanced around and frowned, "Huh, where's Lü Qiling?"
"Sister Lü has gone to train her subordinates. She said she wants to create a female bodyguard team specifically to protect us," Cai Yan said with a smile.
"Train?"
Lin Yi's lips twitched. He had acquired quite a few beautiful palace maids, but with Lü Qiling's actions, wouldn't they all be muscular women from now on? This was truly a disaster.
He shook his head, not blaming Lü Qiling, after all, she was only thinking of herself.
He glanced at the two women and smiled, "I will be setting off for Xiliang Commandery tomorrow. If you two are going, pack your bags today. Lü Qiling will be your bodyguard."
"I can go too?" Shenle was taken aback; she had thought she would be locked up forever.
Lin Yi glanced at her and smiled, "Why not? You're my woman too, just under observation. You're still somewhat different from a prisoner."
Forehead!
Princess Shenle looked at him with a resentful expression. "You didn't have to be so direct."
The next morning, the sun shone on the land of Xiliang, making it appear vibrant with life, and a group of people slowly arrived at Ningchuan Commandery.
This group of people were none other than Li Siyuan, the son of King Li Zhengdao of Prince of Shu, and a large number of powerful and influential families from Shu Region, all of whom were among those invited.
They were also taken aback by the bustling activity at Ningchuan Port.
"Is this still Ningchuan Port? It's far too prosperous! They've even built a dock!"
"These people are fishing boats, aren't they? I heard that Xiliang has recently developed ocean fishing, and it seems to be very promising. Even the Emperor is interested."
"Damn, our Shu Region is so far from the ocean, this is really awkward."
"These huge boatloads of fish being unloaded—this harvest is ridiculously exaggerated! Are they just picking up fish?"
The powerful families of Shu Region were filled with curiosity at this sight, since there were no docks in Shu Region, and although there were rivers, the fishing industry had not reached this level.
Just look at this port; there are nearly three or four hundred ships of all sizes. This is something you can't see in just any place.
The towering ships, resembling palaces on the sea, filled them with awe and wonder; they were clearly extraordinary objects.
"Good heavens, is this what Ningchuan Commandery is like now? This Lin Yi really has some skill." Li Siyuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the bustling port.
He had been here once before, and it was with his father to attend the birthday celebration of the Prince of Beining Commandery. He never expected that so much would have changed in just a few years.
Upon hearing this, the accompanying guard commander was startled and quickly pulled his son back, whispering, "Your Highness, be careful what you say! This is the territory of the Prince of Xiliang. You must not address him by his name directly, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"I understand, I was just saying!" Li Siyuan nodded and smiled.
He naturally knew of the famous Prince of Xiliang All Under Heaven, but he still needed to see how powerful the Prince of Xiliang was, and he didn't know if this Shu Region.
"Halt!"
They had only taken a few steps when they were stopped by He Jin's troops, He Jin were patrolling the Great Ning River.
Upon seeing a group of soldiers approaching, the people of Shu Region were startled, thinking that Lin Yi was about to resort to underhanded tactics, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Li Siyuan frowned and stepped forward, saying, "How dare you! I am the Prince of Shu, and I came after receiving an invitation from your prince. How dare you stop me!"
Hearing his words, the patrolling soldier glanced at him but didn't seem angry.
"You are the Prince of Shu, right? Don't be angry. This is just a routine inspection. Recently, many criminals have infiltrated Xiliang, so we are ordered to patrol. This is the rule of Xiliang!" the soldier leader said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan understood and frowned as he handed the invitation to him.
After examining it, the latter returned it to Li Siyuan and said solemnly, "Welcome to Xiliang, Your Highness. Except for some more private places, Your Highness is free to explore Ningchuan Commandery at will!"
"Those who come after me, please present your name cards; those who don't need to register their origins, otherwise Xiliang will not receive you!"
After they finished speaking, they looked at the people behind Li Siyuan and checked them one by one until they left.
Seeing this, Li Siyuan couldn't help but think more highly of Lin Yi, whom he had never met before. At least this guy's control over Xiliang was definitely substantial enough, otherwise he wouldn't be causing the emperor a headache.
His guard commander, Hu Lai, whispered, "Your Highness, this isn't targeting us. It's probably aimed at the Great Ning Guard and the newly established Blood Guard. I've heard they've infiltrated this area quite severely."
"Tsk tsk, the Prince of Xiliang has quite the big name; he's been targeted!"
Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan's face immediately brightened, revealing a hint of schadenfreude. His own Shu Region was also frequently invaded by these guys; they even watched him when he went to the toilet, which was incredibly annoying.
Huh!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Something seemed to be happening ahead. So many people were running frantically. Could something terrible have happened in Xiliang?
"Let's go take a look!"
