White Garden!
As the former rulers of Xiliang Commandery, the Bai family's mansion was brightly lit at the moment. Many people were frightened by the scene today, so they went to the old general.
In the living room, Old Master Bai was eating his meal alone at the table, quietly enjoying his side dishes and sipping his wine. His meal was simple: two ounces of beef with peanuts—just that simple.
But a large group of people were kneeling beside him.
"General, you must stand up for us! The young master has gone completely mad; he probably killed thirty or forty thousand people today!"
"Grandpa, the young master has gone too far! If this continues, he'll slaughter everyone in the entire Xiliang Commandery!"
"In all my years, I have never seen such a cruel prefect. General, please tell the Prince that the Crown Prince is not suitable for our Xiliang Commandery!"
These people, their eyes filled with fear, were all trembling with dread. The prince's actions today had terrified them.
He killed tens of thousands of people in one go; he's practically a murderous monster. If this continues, it'll be his turn sooner or later.
So they thought of White Asura. Right now, the only one in the entire Xiliang Commandery who could rival the Crown Prince was this Old Master Bai. As long as the old man was willing to take action, the Crown Prince should give him face.
They had some connection with the Old Master Bai man in the past, so naturally they wanted to seek his protection.
bite!
A peanut fell onto the table, and the old man who was eating stopped eating.
He looked at the people kneeling before him, his face still expressionless, and said in a low voice, "So, you have a lot of complaints about the young master?"
"Yes, sir..."
One person blurted it out, but before he could finish, he was stopped by another person.
He was just about to scold his companion when the other gestured for him to look at the old man. He couldn't help but look; once he saw him, he was instantly terrified.
The old man's face was full of smiles, but those smiles sent chills down the spine of the young man, like a biting winter wind that chilled him to the bone. He quickly explained, "Old man, that's not what I meant. I just hope the young master won't continue killing..."
Why!
White Asura glanced at everyone, sighed deeply, and said softly, "The Crown Prince is the heir of Northern Liang. Since you have objections to him, then I can only say that you must bear with it."
With a wave of his hand, the guards rushed in and, to everyone's horror, dragged them away.
"Old man, what do you mean by this?"
"We are all your people, old man."
"General Bai, you can't do this!"
A group of people screamed hysterically, but to no avail; they were simply dragged away.
Watching their retreating figures, a hint of mockery flashed in White Asura's eyes. He sneered, "A bunch of blind fools. What are you compared to the Crown Prince? He is the hope of the entire Northern Liang!"
Clap clap clap!
As soon as he finished speaking, a round of applause rang out, and the person clapping was none other than Yi Yun.
"Haha, beef with peanuts, the old man is still the same as always!"
Yi Yun smiled.
He rushed over to discuss it with the old man, only to witness this scene, and couldn't help but nod in approval. The old general's approach was simple and direct, yet also the fastest method.
The old man had no doubt about the prince's loyalty; Old Master Bai was known as the prince's right-hand man, so these people who came to cause trouble had clearly picked the wrong person.
White Asura glanced at him, continued eating peanuts, and chuckled, "So it's you, kid. What brings you here? Shouldn't you be by the young master's side right now?"
"Grandpa, do you think the young master still needs me to stay by his side?" Yi Yun said irritably upon hearing his words.
Upon hearing this, White Asura burst into laughter, teasingly saying, "That's the truth. The young master has quite a few capable people around him; these people alone can't really harm him. You, the commander of the Northern Liang Guard, can probably only watch helplessly."
Although he relinquished all power, it doesn't mean he was unaware of recent events; on the contrary, he was fully aware of them.
This is the heir of Northern Liang; how could he possibly ignore him?
Although the Asura Army had withdrawn, they were actually omnipresent. He was aware of almost everything the Crown Prince did, which was why he could eat peanuts and drink wine with such peace of mind, because the Crown Prince had grown up.
A grown-up heir is what Northern Liang needs most, and the current trend of development is undoubtedly the best.
Yi Yun could only smile wryly; he was completely baffled by the capable people around the young master.
Even though the Northern Liang Guard had been protecting the Crown Prince, they were still utterly astonished whenever someone appeared by his side, because these people seemed to appear out of thin air, and they couldn't find anything about them.
This made him feel very frustrated. The Northern Liang Guard was practically useless by the Crown Prince's side. What kind of situation was this?
He couldn't help but smile wryly, "The old man is right. The young master's strength has exceeded my expectations, Net is everywhere. I'm afraid even my men have been targeted by them long ago."
"Good!"
White Asura put down his chopsticks and gave a definite answer: the Northern Liang Guard had indeed been targeted by the Net long ago.
He laughed and said, "The Crown Net had already begun to be established in Xiliang Commandery before the Crown Prince arrived. I discovered this organization at that time and originally intended to kill it, but later I found out that it belonged to the Crown Prince, so I didn't interfere."
"The Crown Prince had already begun making plans before he even arrived in Xiliang Commandery?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Yi Yun's pupils constricted. So the young master was truly remarkable, possessing such cunning.
That's not all; the fact that the Crown Prince managed to create the Net in such a short time is truly terrifying.
As expected of the Prince of Northern Liang.
White Asura smiled and said, "At first, the Net only had a few dozen people, so I didn't pay much attention. But it kept increasing, and now the Net probably has nearly ten thousand people. Even I can't get close to the Net now."
To be honest, he was a little shocked, because the speed at which the Net was developing was simply too outrageous.
In just over ten days, the Net has grown from nothing to a completely different entity. Their strength has taken root throughout the entire Xiliang Commandery, and their tentacles are everywhere. They are no longer the small, isolated force they once were.
It can be said that no move by Xiliang Commandery can escape the Crown Prince's eyes.
Grunt!
Yi Yun's lips twitched, and he forced a dry laugh, "Your Highness, this is too exaggerated. To deploy Net of nearly ten thousand people in a small Xiliang Commandery, this is simply..."
He didn't say anything more, nor could he criticize the crown prince.
However, for a mere Xiliang Commandery to establish an intelligence organization of 10,000 people is somewhat insane, even monstrous.
