"Why is this so? Have the three elders been shown this?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly. He still had some affection for that Old Man Bai once grew potatoes in his yard and carved out a street in the Western Regions.
It's no small matter that such a veteran has fallen seriously ill.
I am not a heartless person, nor would I do something as ruthless as putting away a good bow after the birds are all gone. At the very least, I would let Bai Zizai peacefully.
Lin Rusong said with a wry smile, " Consecrator Dong has already gone to see him. This is due to the accumulation of pain, causing an old ailment to relapse. He can only recover slowly; it all depends on Old Man Bai's own will to live."
"This is all my fault!"
Lin Yi let out a long breath, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. He now knew why Bai Zizai had suddenly fallen seriously ill—it was because he had wiped out the Northern Barbarians.
He had been barely surviving because the hatred in his heart was always there, so he couldn't let go and couldn't allow himself to relax, which is why he could endure it.
But now that he had wiped out the Northern Region Barbarians and killed Tuoba Wanli, his obsession was completely gone.
This is similar to some elderly people in rural areas. If you make them do farm work every day, they'll be lively and energetic. But if you make them not work for a few years, they'll basically become useless.
"Your Majesty, Old Man Bai has always been grateful to you for avenging him and annihilating the Northern Region Barbarians for him. How can you be blamed for this? It can only be said that it was his fate!" Wang Ziwen comforted him.
He knew in his heart that once his old friend lost his spirit, he basically didn't have many days left.
This is not something a doctor can save.
"I am the Emperor. If I don't want him to die, then he cannot die."
"The eighth day of the fourth month is my birthday. I will invite many neighboring countries to come to Great Liang to celebrate, so that the world can see the splendor of Great Liang."
"When the time comes, all nations will come to pay tribute, and people from both the East and the West will come. I want Bai Zizai to see the glory of my Great Liang, to see if he's willing to die, and to see just how vast the world is!"
Lin Yi shook his head. If there's no obsession, then give him one; if there's no pressure, then give him pressure.
Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away; it's a very sad thing!
It was just the annihilation of one Northern Region Barbarians; the conquest of Great Liang was still far from over. As long as Bai Zizai didn't die, there were still many places where he was needed.
Bai Zizai has made Great Liang contributions to Daliang, and we absolutely cannot let him die without a trace; that would be a desecration of a meritorious official.
"That makes sense. This old man is short-sighted. My son is still fighting for the world. Northern Barbarians compared to him?" Lin Rusong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but get excited. This might work.
With only a few days left until her son's birthday, she could invite Bai Zizai over for a visit, hoping it might bring some good fortune, as her son was indeed blessed with unparalleled luck.
This is a minor issue, nothing to worry about.
"Hahaha!"
Lin Yi smiled. It just so happens that Ran Min and the others will be returning soon, along with the spoils and prisoners of war from the Yamata Nation. These are two great joys.
Having witnessed the power of Great Liang, even if Old Bai Man were to die, he would die in peace.
Now that the Zhennan is basically safe, Li Ru and Sima Yi can do their thing. These two cunning old foxes, along with fierce men like Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, and Qi Jiguang, are all capable.
Unless Zhennan gets cheated, he'll definitely get utterly crushed.
The war in Zhennan is still ongoing, and I need to put some pressure on the Frostwest Empire and offer them some favors.
This time, carrying the momentum of conquering three kingdoms, it's different from the wave during the founding of the nation. This time, the West will probably be even more afraid.
Under such terrifying pressure, those small countries should know what it means to be bound by the trend of the times and what it means to be a wise person who knows when to yield.
His Majesty's birthday!
Everyone's eyes lit up. This was the Emperor's birthday, a very important event, practically equivalent to the national holiday of the Great Liang Dynasty.
We must present the Emperor with a grand gift to repay His Majesty's kindness and favor.
Court of Diplomatic Reception, Jiumosong looked at the wounded scattered on the ground, his face extremely grim; almost everyone was injured or maimed.
The Nan Yi, on the other hand, was furious, shouting, "Damn it! How dare a few small fry provoke my Zhennan Dynasty? They're asking for trouble!"
He could accept being beaten by people from the Great Liang, or by people from the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire, but to be beaten by a few small fry was unacceptable to him.
These countries were Zhennan; they were practically insignificant, like sons. How dare they provoke Zhennan?
"No!"
Jiumosong shook his head and said bitterly, "They're not targeting us; they're trying to curry favor with the Great Liang!"
"To curry favor with Great Liang?"
"Yes, it seems the Great Liang has made its move against us!"
Jiumosong a heavy weight in his heart. It seemed that Great Liang was really going to make a move; otherwise, these small countries wouldn't dare to attack Zhennan even if Baozi a leopard.
They were too busy begging for mercy to dare to beat up Zhennan's people. There was only one possibility: they had a powerful backer.
This powerful backer is probably Great Liang.
If I'm not mistaken, the Great Liang Great Liang has probably already made its move; otherwise, it would have stopped those smaller countries from taking action earlier.
After all, the two countries have diplomatic relations, and this situation would not have occurred without a deterioration in relations.
The fact that this has happened can only mean that Great Liang has made its move.
"What? Didn't Great Liang just destroy the Yamata Nation? Why are they making a move so quickly?" Nan Yi's expression changed. If Great Liang had made a move, there was no reason why they wouldn't know.
Could it be that the Great Liang has blocked information from our side? Otherwise, how could they have kept it from us?
The Net!
His pupils contracted; it was probably the Net that had intervened, which was why Zhennan's intelligence network had been blocked.
Sure enough, at that moment a guard rushed over.
"The ambassador is in trouble! We've received word that the Great Liang has already sent troops to capture Daxin Pass and Snow Mountain Pass, and they've now penetrated deep into our territory!" the visitor said urgently.
"What? Daxin Pass is lost?"
Jiumosong Nan Yi's expressions changed drastically; they had already broken through.
No wonder the Net secret intelligence network) could block information; now that the main gate has been occupied, there's probably no way out. This is troublesome.
etc!
The Great Liang and Zhennan have gone to war. What will happen to us?
Nan Yi realized something and his face turned Bai Qi. They were on enemy territory, practically fish on a chopping block.
No wonder I got beaten up today; I'm afraid Tiandu from now on.
His heart pounded. He was usually a reckless man, but now he finally felt fear and couldn't help but whisper, "Ambassador, we have to escape now. It doesn't feel safe in Great Liang!"
I got beaten up again today, and these are just some minor cuts and bruises.
But if I get stabbed tomorrow, I could die.
