After a night of fierce fighting, Emperor Lin Yi of Great Liang completely defeated Princess Anne, leaving her in a deep sleep on the bed, too exhausted to even get up.
Looking at her sleeping face, Lin Yi murmured, "The way to make a woman forget her sorrow is to distract her. I've worked hard all night and finally succeeded."
A man as good as me, so considerate and thoughtful, is simply hard to find in this All Under Heaven.
That was a brilliant strike!
"Cough cough!"
Just then, two soft coughs sounded from outside the door; it was the woman's voice.
Not many people would dare to bother him at this time, and the only one with that guts would probably be Lü Qiling. She's always been training female soldiers and never comes to him easily, so it seems she has something on her mind.
After being helped to put on his clothes by a palace maid, Lin Yi pushed open the door and came out.
Sure enough, I saw Lü Qiling outside. The woman was drinking tea in the courtyard. It seemed she had been there for a while, as the tea in her cup had decreased considerably!
Lin Yi walked straight over and sat down next to Lü Qiling, smiling as he said, " Qiling, you've come to see me so early. Has something happened outside?"
"Snort!"
Hearing his words, Lü Qiling snorted and said with a face full of resentment, "Your Majesty, Qiling has too many things to do. Not only do I have to train the palace guards, but I also have to look after your harem."
That's not all, but I also have to sleep with you a lot of the time. I'm just too busy!
puff!
Lin Yi spat out his tea, completely taken aback by her comment that he still needed to sleep with her.
He glared at Lü Qiling, somewhat annoyed, and said speechlessly, "Heaven and earth bear witness, Qiling, you were the one who insisted on sleeping with me back then. Now that you're dressed, you're denying it, aren't you?"
This woman challenged me to a duel, and I defeated her instantly. But she wasn't discouraged and challenged me dozens of times, but unfortunately, she failed every time.
In a fit of anger, she actually came up with a wicked plan to defeat him in bed, and in the end, she actually did it.
The result was cruel; she was defeated once again.
Lü Qiling's face instantly turned crimson, and she angrily retorted, "I don't care! His Majesty said back then that women can hold up half the sky, so why are you going back on your word now?"
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's face stiffened, as if he had been punched in the head, and he was completely dumbfounded.
This is probably the earliest feminist movement.
He said impatiently, " Qiling, just say what you want. I've always been very lenient with you; as long as it's not too outrageous, there won't be any problem."
"Hey-hey!"
Seeing Lin Yi agree, Lü Qiling's face lit up with joy, and she said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I have been training my Flying Phoenix Camp these past few days, and now the Flying Phoenix Camp's combat power has evolved once again."
I'm not bragging, but even if it were the Emperor's Hundred Riders, I wouldn't fear them. That's why I want to participate in the Western Expedition!
A hint of pride shone in her eyes; this was her astonishing achievement, the reason she was able to train such an army—it was no joke.
A single female soldier is enough to shake Hundred Riders.
Forehead!
Lin Yi was immediately at his wits' end. This woman actually wanted to go to the battlefield; this was no joke.
Although the saying goes that women can hold up half the sky, their roles are different. If they were to go to the battlefield, people could really die.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown and say, " Qiling, people die on the battlefield; it's no joke. Even if you want to go, you have to think about the soldiers under your command."
While it may seem like a case of male chauvinism, women are indeed at a disadvantage on the battlefield, due to numerous uncontrollable factors that affect their combat effectiveness.
For example, your period!
Lü Qiling's eyes instantly became lifeless, and she said listlessly, "Your Majesty, you don't keep your word. What am I supposed to do training every day? There are no assassins, and all I do is watch over the harem for you. It's so boring."
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was taken aback; there was some truth to it.
This woman was originally free-spirited, but I've put a constraint on her, which has made her somewhat depressed.
After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "How about this, Qiling? Don't say I'm not giving you a chance. Go and train your Flying Phoenix Camp properly first, and I will definitely give you a chance to make your move later!"
"Ooh!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiling was overjoyed and excitedly kissed him, instantly perking up and looking rather silly.
Lin Yi was speechless. A woman actually liked fighting? That was unbelievable. He smiled wryly and said, " Qiling, you came to see me so early today, is it just about this?"
This is simply outrageous; one can only say she truly lives up to her reputation as Lü Bu's daughter.
"No no no!!!"
Lü Qiling shook her head repeatedly, indicating that she wasn't that bored, and explained, "Your Majesty, Xu Chu from the Court of Diplomatic Reception is requesting an audience. He says someone has arrived from overseas!"
"What, which overseas?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi stood up in shock; they were actually from overseas.
I've been searching for other continents, and now there are actually people from overseas—this is an unexpected delight! I just don't know where they came from.
Seeing the Emperor's excitement, Lü Qiling immediately became serious. After thinking carefully for a moment, she whispered, "It's said they came from the south of the sea, and quite a few people came. They're called the Xinma Empire!"
" Xinma Empire!"
A glint of light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes. A new nation had appeared; this was interesting. Now that they had come to him of their own accord, he wondered if they were friend or foe.
However, this is also good news. The emergence of a completely new and unknown empire means that the world is truly vast, far beyond our imagination.
Lin Yi said excitedly, "Good, immediately have the Court of Court of Diplomatic Reception -Xinma Empire is all about."
"OK!"
Lü Qiling quickly got up and went to inform Xu Chu.
In the imperial harem, ordinary people cannot move around freely; even eunuchs have their movements restricted. Therefore, her personal guards are the most reliable presence in the harem.
After she left, Lin Yi instructed someone nearby, " The Net (a secret police organization) immediately dispatches people to search for information about the Xinma Empire, and at the same time, sends people to locate the Xinma Empire. I need to know all its information!"
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. If you don't know the strength of your opponent, you won't be able to judge their intentions.
Now that the other party has appeared, there must be some clues, Net will definitely be able to find them.
"Yes!"
A pleasant reply came from not far away, then disappeared.
After giving all the instructions, Lin Yi summoned breakfast, ate it, and then left the inner palace to await news from the so-called Xinma Empire.
