Forehead!
Gongsun Zan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but glare at him, whispering, "You shut up, brat! This is the Emperor's mother-in-law; how can you talk nonsense about her like that?"
Even if you're going to tell someone, you should do it behind their back.
Gan Ning was about to speak when his gaze suddenly sharpened, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before he burst into laughter.
"Interesting!"
He snatched the knife from the guard beside him and plunged it into the chest of the already dead Li Qiankun, the knife piercing right through him.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on? These Brocade Sail Bandit were too ruthless; they actually wanted to kill the corpses as well?
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Ah!"
When they heard a scream, the voice of which blatantly came from the supposedly "dead" Li Qiankun, everyone looked at each other in disbelief. This guy wasn't dead after all; he was just faking it!
Pfft!
Gan Ning delivered a final blow to the left before finally dropping his weapon.
Holy crap!
Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Gan Ning in shock, and asked in surprise, " Xingba, what's going on?"
"Hehe, I, Gan Xingba, am a naval officer. I can spot enemies far away on the high seas. This kid's chest skipped a beat just now, and I noticed it immediately, so I finished him off with a stab," Gan Xingba chuckled.
Holy crap, that's awesome!
Everyone couldn't help but give him a thumbs up; he could even see his chest skip a beat—he's a total pervert!
However, this Li Qiankun is quite interesting. He looked so desperate earlier, actually trying to fake his death to escape, but now Gan Ning has finished him off with two more blows, and he's completely dead.
Gan Ning picked up the dagger from the Empress's hand and tested it. The blade was retracted, leaving only a small part of the blade exposed, making it impossible to kill.
This is a specially made dagger. It seems the Empress had a lot of ulterior motives; she wanted to use her own death to lull her followers into a false sense of security.
etc!
Everyone couldn't help but look at the Empress, wondering if she had also faked her death.
Gongsun Zan chuckled dryly, "Don't overthink it. The Empress took real poison. To avoid any trouble, seal them in coffins and bury them!"
"Yes, that's a good idea!" Everyone nodded; it was safer that way.
After all, it was the body of the Emperor's mother-in-law; some respect had to be shown, otherwise it would be somewhat disrespectful to the Emperor.
"Oh, there's another one here!"
A fierce glint flashed in everyone's eyes as they looked at Shangguan Yundun, and they rushed straight towards him.
This person is no good either; he must be one of the masterminds.
After executing a number of the most heinous criminals in Jiangling Commandery, Gongsun Zan and his men began a comprehensive purge of the south.
At the same time, the rebel leader Guan Yu announced his surrender to Great Liang, and 100,000 rebels joined the Great Liang system.
Li Yunmiao, whom he had captured, was also quietly executed.
In just one day, the banners of the Great Liang were planted all over the south, and the entire south fell into the hands of the Great Liang.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully subduing others with force, seizing Jiangling Commandery by force, taking the last piece of territory, completing the territorial integrity, and being rewarded with the top general Zhou Yu Jiangdong Navy of 100,000."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully subduing others with martial prowess, killing Crown Prince Li Qiankun and Third Prince Li Yunmiao, and causing the Empress to die by poison, thus ending the Great Ning Dynasty. Reward: one gene enhancer."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully Win People Over with Virtue, ending the war in the south, and filling the people with gratitude. Reward: 300,000 catties of super rice seeds."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully Win People Over with Virtue, causing the southern chieftain to tremble in fear and prostrate himself in submission. You have gained the fierce general Meng Huo and a mountain army of 100,000."
"Bite..."
Holy crap!
Upon seeing the reward, Lin Yi's eyes lit up. After obtaining the entire map, he unexpectedly obtained a character he had always dreamed of— Zhou Yu.
As the commander-in-chief of Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu single-handedly transformed Eastern Wu from a small player into a behemoth.
With just over 50,000 men, they faced Cao Cao's army, which boasted a million-strong force. In the end, they fought a battle that nearly overturned the Three Kingdoms, achieving the astonishing feat of the Battle of Red Cliffs and shattering Cao Cao's dream of unifying the Three Kingdoms.
While Huang Gai's strategic advice played a role, Zhou Yu's overall command and coordination undoubtedly demonstrated his skill.
Unfortunately, he died too young and was overshadowed by Zhuge Liang, leading to his being somewhat underestimated. In reality, he was absolutely top-notch in the field of naval warfare.
In this way, he would have a naval commander to oversee the expansion of the oceans and, incidentally, free Guan Yu from his duties.
As for the 100,000- Eastern Wu Navy, that's better than nothing, since Lin Yi doesn't lack troops these days.
Once the land reclamation program begins, there's no need to worry about not being able to support the population, as the ocean world is currently under attack and requires a large number of troops to garrison and occupy it.
The second reward was even more astonishing, and what excited Lin Yi the most was that it was a gene enhancer.
Judging from its attributes, it is extraordinary. After ingesting it, it can not only enhance the strength of the body, but also increase the lifespan corresponding to the body's potential, and has a strong ability to resist disease and poison. This is quite impressive.
"This is a technological product, which means it's possible to extract more of it in the future. Who knows, maybe we'll even get some kind of elixir of immortality in the future, wouldn't that make me immortal?"
Lin Yi was completely dumbfounded. If he was lucky, he might become an emperor who would live forever and never die.
very good!
This system is awesome!
The third reward was even more perfect: 300,000 jin of super rice seeds, which can produce super rice, saving us from having to eat sweet potatoes every day.
With a yield of 3,000 jin per mu, it truly lives up to its name as a super rice variety. It also has the ability to resist high temperatures and drought, making it an excellent seed.
As for the last reward, it seemed rather meager.
Meng Huo, along with 100,000 mountain barbarian soldiers, was somewhat out of the question, but he was still a good fit for the job. Using Meng Huo to govern those chieftain tribes would definitely be a reliable option.
With Sima Yi added, it's definitely reliable.
In this way, Great Liang has virtually no weaknesses, and even the naval commander has been appointed, maximizing its war potential.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel excited. He looked at Xu Chu to the side and said in a deep voice, " Zhongkang, go and summon Xun Yu and the others. Today, I will hold a grand banquet for all my officials. The All Under Heaven will Great Liang!"
"Wow!"
Xu Chu's eyes lit up. As expected of his lord, he had easily wiped out the fake crown prince in the south. He had accomplished this in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, he exclaimed excitedly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! I'll go and inform them right away!"
Only when the Emperor is happy can everyone be happy!
Soon Xun Yu and the others also received the news, and they all came to the Imperial Garden in high spirits.
Although they knew that the Great Liang could easily conquer the south, they still couldn't help but feel excited, as it meant that the Great Liang had completely unified the east.
