"Hahaha, this lad has certainly lived up to my teachings!"
Lin Rusong breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that there was food, and felt much more at ease. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
Seeing the envious looks from everyone, he felt a sense of pride, like a son finally coming of age. His son was truly outstanding.
"Your Highness, here is another letter from the Commander." The guard handed over a letter and whispered.
Yi Yun's letter?
Lin Rusong's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the letter. Yi Yun must have something to report, which was why he wrote the letter.
Upon opening it, his eyes lit up. This kid had actually swept through the entire Xiliang Commandery, even taking down Zhuo Feifan. This kid really had big ambitions.
etc!
He also gained Bai Zizai old man's approval, so the old man stayed in Xiliang Commandery and even helped Lin Yi cleanse himself of some remaining poison.
Good lad, you've got some skills! You even managed to subdue that stubborn old man.
Then, looking further on, he...
puff!
He'd only glanced at it a few times when he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea, exclaiming, "What? That kid's Net already has over ten thousand people? This...!"
Goodness, this kid is exaggerating.
A newly established intelligence organization has managed to amass over ten thousand people; that's simply outrageous. What on earth is this kid up to?
" The Net?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback. What was going on? What kind of organization was this?
Lin Rusong glanced at his old comrades and sighed, "This 'Net' was an intelligence organization set up by my good-for-nothing son of mine. He came up with all sorts of fancy names, and it's now spread throughout the entire Xiliang Commandery, exceeding ten thousand members..."
Why!
After he finished speaking, the old man let out a long sigh, looking quite displeased.
"What? The Crown Prince's intelligence organization is called the Net, and it has more than 10,000 people?"
"More than ten thousand people, doesn't that mean the Crown Prince has complete control over every move of Xiliang Commandery?"
"I heard the Crown Prince is planning to purge Xiliang Commandery. With this Net, things will probably be much easier."
"What a Net! It truly is a massive net!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of intelligence organization was this? It was almost as powerful as a regular army!
However, after the initial shock, they were filled with fear. The Crown Net schemes was probably not limited to Xiliang Commandery; it might even extend to those close to them.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shudder; the young master was truly terrifying.
The reason the prince spoke out was probably to force them to make a choice; it was a test, perhaps.
For a moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Seeing the reactions of the others, a smile flashed in Lin Rusong's eyes.
He laughed, "Hahaha, this brat has caused another disaster. Not only did he sweep through the entire Xiliang Commandery in one fell swoop, but he also got that old codger Bai Zizai to help him clean up some of the dead. He's killed tens of thousands of people. I'm going to have a headache impeaching him again!"
What? The Crown Prince has already quelled the chaos in Xiliang Commandery?
They even got White Asura to help; does this mean they've gained the approval of the Asura Army?
Hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock; this was truly terrifying. Had the Crown Prince really progressed to this point?
"What a fine Heir of Northern Liang! It seems he already possesses the abilities of a king; otherwise, Old General Bai wouldn't have recognized him."
"Sweeping through Xiliang Commandery in just a few days, the Crown Prince is truly decisive and ruthless. I'm afraid the All Under Heaven world has underestimated him."
"Many people were waiting to see us fail, but now they're probably all dumbfounded."
"If the Crown Prince can build another Northern Liang, that would be extraordinary; it would be a meteoric rise."
Such a terrifying rate of development made even these elderly people feel their scalps tingle, and even felt like they were watching a myth.
If this continues, the Crown Prince may not be far from taking over the reins of Northern Liang.
Such a powerful crown prince is irresistible.
Hahaha!
Seeing everyone's silly expressions, Lin Rusong was secretly overjoyed.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly froze. As his fingers twitched, he discovered another letter underneath, signed by his own son.
A thought struck him, and he immediately opened the envelope.
Upon seeing the contents, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and burst into laughter. "Good lad, I knew this kid wouldn't stand to be taken advantage of. He's trying to get something out of me. Fine, since I've solved a big problem for you, I'll give you a hand."
His brow furrowed as he saw the last bit.
Hey kid, what are you trying to do?
The Xiliang Commandery!
At that moment, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the gate of the prefect's mansion. These people were all well-equipped soldiers with murderous intent on their faces, clearly indicating that they had come with ill intentions.
Who are you people, and why are you here?
Upon seeing this, the surrounding people immediately gathered around, wanting to protect the prefect's residence. The equipment of these people did not seem to belong to the Northern Liang; rather, it had a style reminiscent of the Great Ning Dynasty.
Upon seeing the crowd, the leader roared, "You bastards! We are men of the Prince of Beining Commandery, here to see the Heir of Northern Liang! How dare you stop us!"
The Prince of Beining Commandery's people?
The common people were immediately startled. It seemed that this person was no ordinary person, but rather a prince-like figure. They could not stop him, so they quickly made way for him.
These are people from the Crown Prince's faction; they should be safe.
The guards at the gate were also startled and quickly went to report to their young master.
" The Prince of Beining Commandery?"
Upon hearing the guard's words, a strange glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. This Prince of Beining Commandery seemed to be the person in charge of the southern section of Dayu Pass, and also the cousin of the current emperor, Li Anlan.
Sending someone to look for me at this time is probably not a good thing.
"My lord, this fellow is probably here to cause trouble."
Jia Xu sneered.
Lin Yi nodded slightly; it was indeed a possibility.
The Prince of Beining Commandery was on the same level as his father, so even though he was Li Anlan's cousin, he couldn't interfere in the affairs of Xiliang Commandery.
The most likely explanation is that they're here to cause trouble.
The current situation at Dayu Pass is that of three All Under Heaven. The Northern Region Barbarians, with an army of 100,000, guard this place, giving it a unique advantage. The Northern Liang and the Great Ning Dynasty are relatively weak, but they form a defensive triangle and are enough to resist the invasion of the Northern Region Barbarians.
However, neither the barbarians nor the Great Ning Dynasty want to see the Northern Liang become powerful.
Now that he has cleaned up these monsters and demons, his strength will surely increase greatly, so the Prince of Beining Commandery couldn't sit still and came directly to him.
"My lord, should we send them away?" Jia Xu whispered.
Lin Yi shook his head. He figured he'd have to deal with them sooner or later anyway, so meeting them wouldn't hurt. He said in a deep voice, "Let them in. I want to see what they're up to!"
" He Zudao, a subordinate of the Prince of Beining Commandery, pays his respects to the Heir Apparent!"
" He Zudao?"
Lin Yi glanced at Jia Xu, who was standing to the side. He really didn't know anything about this person. Jia Xu had read a lot of materials and should know about him.
