"Yes!"
Nishu nodded, his eyes also filled with shock. He couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe such a thing could happen!"
He had seen many places where emperors were loved by the people, but he had never seen anyone directly give money to the emperor.
He glanced at the guide leading the way and saw that the guide also looked enthusiastic, and immediately understood.
Lin Yi in Great Liang has already surpassed even a god.
"Indeed unbelievable!"
Having lived for so many years, this was the first time Bill III had ever seen such a situation.
The sight of ordinary people lining up to donate money to the emperor, all looking so happy, made him incredibly envious.
If you want to make some money, you have to come up with all sorts of excuses and impose exorbitant taxes, so why do people give Lin Yi money willingly?
He couldn't help but ponder, muttering to himself, "These people are too stupid. They actually listened to Lin Yi's boasting about everyone being like a dragon. It seems that the common people are still easy to fool."
"If I were to follow Lin Yi's example and create some kind of 'everyone is a dragon' gimmick, I wonder if I could get the people to give me money?"
His empire was declining, and if he could borrow some money from the people, he could easily add several hundred thousand more troops to increase his capital, which would be a good idea.
Free money is money you shouldn't pass up!
Forehead!
Ni Nishu couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Can't you be a little more self-aware? Lin Yi has the people's support because he gave away 50 million strings of cash and treated the people very well."
What kind of situation is the Frostwest Empire in now? You still expect the people to donate money to you? It's already a miracle they haven't rebelled.
Just as he was about to speak, a guard hurried over.
"General, the people from the Great West Empire have arrived!"
" Abaddon!"
A hint of apprehension flashed in Nishu's eyes. This Abaddon was not only the emperor of the Great West Empire, but also a renowned warrior.
If their own king has a grudge against the other side, they will most likely suffer a loss if they meet now.
He glanced at the king, whose face had darkened, and whispered, "Your Majesty, let's discuss this after we return. We're still in Great Liang, and it's best not to create any further complications. Let's confirm with Great Liang first!"
This is the territory of Great Liang. As long as Great Liang is connected, the Great West Empire will not dare to act recklessly, because that would be a slap in the face to Great Liang.
"Good!"
Bill III wasn't stupid. He was almost sixty years old and naturally didn't want to clash with Abaddon, a young man; that would be somewhat irrational. So he simply chose to avoid the situation.
The two countries are inherently hostile, and a direct confrontation is inevitable, which is extremely dangerous.
Just as they were about to leave, they heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats behind them. A group of people were heading straight for them, and the leader was none other than Abaddon, the emperor of the Great West Empire.
Abaddon's arrival was ill-intentioned; his menacing gaze fell upon Bill III, and he sneered, " Ashina Bill, what a small world! To run into you here!"
" Abaddon!"
Bill III looked at him as well, and their gazes collided in mid-air, instantly sparking an invisible flame.
The two countries have been at war for centuries, a feud that has lasted for centuries. The resentment in their hearts is not just a little bit; they simply want to kill each other as soon as possible.
However, this was the territory of Great Liang, so both sides were restraining themselves to avoid causing trouble.
Bill III took a deep breath and calmly said, "We both came at the invitation of the Liang Emperor, so why do you ask a question you already know the answer to?"
Also, as someone who's been there a long time, I'm warning you, this is Great Liang! If you ride a horse recklessly through the city, you'll probably regret it!
He sneered, "What coincidence? Why don't you come then?"
I could be your grandfather, how dare you call me by my name? Go ahead and keep running wildly down the street.
"Snort!"
Abaddon's face darkened at Bill III's provocation, but he did not immediately retaliate.
He's not stupid; why would he risk getting himself into trouble? After all, this isn't his territory, and he has no reason to give the Great Liang a chance to make a move.
He dared to run away just now because he was still at the entrance; he certainly wouldn't want to embarrass himself in the bustling city.
He was filled with murderous intent towards the old man in front of him.
The two countries had been enemies for centuries and were like fire and water. In addition, after he ascended the throne, he wanted to reconcile with the Frostwest Empire and marry Princess Anne to ease the tension between the two countries.
As a result, the Frostwest Empire was incredibly arrogant, even claiming that they were savages and unworthy of Princess Anne, which he never forgot.
Just then, a hand grabbed Abaddon; it was Abaddon's advisor A Long.
A Long gestured towards the crowd ahead and whispered, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although we are sworn enemies with the Frostwest Empire, the cohesion of the Great Liang is simply too terrifying!"
With such terrifying cohesion, the Great Liang is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying ultimate war machine.
Even though there is no conflict with the Great West Empire now, once the Zhennan Dynasty and the Frostwest Empire are gone, then they will have to fight against their own Great West Empire.
The Great Liang is now like a sword hanging over our heads, ready to fall at any moment; even the Great West Empire cannot be absolutely safe.
Therefore, in some respects, the Great West Empire and the Frostwest Empire may become allies, but it's best not to go too far now.
"The cohesion of the Great Liang!"
Abaddon's face stiffened, and he fell silent instantly, a chill creeping into his heart.
To be honest, the Great Liang line of people from Daliang donating money to Lin Yi really shocked him; it was something he couldn't have imagined.
Whenever the Great West Empire needed money, it was always forcibly collected; a donation like this was simply unthinkable.
A Long said, the cohesion of the Great Liang is truly terrifying.
"His Majesty!"
Seeing that his emperor did not erupt, A Long breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him, " Great Liang is now the overlord of the East, having successively destroyed several countries. Its power is virtually invincible. We must be prepared for both possibilities."
Abaddon was speechless, because he knew A Long was right.
Although the Great West Empire is currently on good terms with the Great Liang Empire, once the Frostwest Empire is gone, a completely new problem will arise: the Great West Empire will inevitably become the next target.
Therefore, I need to be prepared, or I can gamble that Daliang will prioritize Great Liang and stop fighting after destroying Zhennan.
They would probably have no choice but to unite with the Frostwest Empire to jointly resist the Great Liang; otherwise, their country alone would likely be unable to withstand the pressure.
Abaddon glanced at Bill III, snorted coldly, then turned and left, following the official guide from Great Liang towards the Court of Diplomatic Reception.
Watching his retreating figure, Bill III's eyes became thoughtful; it seemed that Abaddon had also sensed the danger.
