After making his choice, Yang Lin's gaze returned to the corpses and blood river around him. His expression turned cold again.
Looking at Sun Wei and the others, Yang Lin asked in a deep voice,"Tell me, why are you fighting?”
Sun Wei and the others were instantly stunned on the spot when they were asked this question.
"If you're standing for Li Tang, you don't have to follow me.”
Yang Lin turned around calmly.
" Hero!" Sun Wei's sword-like eyebrows swept across the room. He cupped his fists and said," Hero, we are Li Tang's soldiers, yes, but we are fighting for our country and the people!"”
"Yes, we are standing for the people! Hero, let us follow you!”
The others said.
Yang Lin shook his head coldly.
"You can leave now, because you are Li Tang's soldiers, but I am not. I am just a lone traveler in the dark. There is no imperial court behind me, no Li Tang, only the millions of people in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. I am fighting for them, but also for myself!”
Hearing this, Sun Wei and the other Tang soldiers were instantly stunned.
However, the group of women led by Shu Yueli were all excited. They felt that they had followed the right person.
They had long been completely disappointed in the Imperial Court.
Where was the imperial court when their families and themselves were suffering?
The army of the imperial court had retreated to Youzhou City for the sake of the overall situation, abandoning the countless civilians who couldn't escape at Gubei Pass!
"Let's go."
Yang Lin did not give Sun Wei and the others much time to think. He gently called out to Shu Yueli and the other women, then flipped over and rode on the back of the horse.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of armor clashing came from behind. Hundreds of Tang captives knelt on the ground with Sun Wei as the leader." As long as the hero can help us kill the enemy, we are willing to give up our identity as soldiers of the Tang Empire!”
Yang Lin sneered.
"I have no obligation to lead you to kill the enemy.”
Sun Wei's body trembled. He gritted his teeth and cupped his fists."We are willing to acknowledge the hero as our master and pledge our loyalty to him. In the future, our lives will be up to fate!”
Only then did Yang Lin's eyes reveal a trace of a satisfied smile. However, this smile disappeared in an instant and was not discovered by Sun Wei and the others.
Pressing the horse's belly, Yang Lin brought Shu Yueli towards the south gate.
Sun Wei and the others were instantly stunned.
We've already given up our identity as soldiers of the Tang Empire and acknowledged you as our master. Why are you still unwilling to accept us?
Just as Sun Wei and the others were feeling puzzled and hopeless, Yang Lin's cold voice suddenly sounded from ahead.
"Pingyi Army, hurry up!"
The Pingyi Army meant to wipe out the foreign tribes. It was the name Yang Lin gave his team.
From the system's vague hints, Yang Lin had a vague feeling that he would have to stand on the opposite side of Li Tang. Instead of waiting to die, it was better to take the initiative to plan.
The Pingyi Army?
Is he accepting us?
Sun Wei and the others were overjoyed when they heard this. They quickly picked up their usable weapons and chased after Yang Lin.
……
Youzhou City.
On the city wall, Li Tai, the King of Wei, was furious." Duke of Wei, I've sent people to search everywhere in Youzhou City, but they couldn't find Lizhi. Could it be that she didn't escape to the south at all after we were separated from each other, but got lost in Gubei Pass?"”
"Or perhaps, she…was captured by the Turks?”
Li Tai felt a chill run down his spine as a deep sense of fear welled up in his heart.
Li Tai was a crazy demon who protected his sister. Li Lizhi was from the same mother as him. Since he was young, he had doted on Li Lizhi. Li Lizhi also respected him as an elder brother. Otherwise, she would not have followed him to the northern border to supervise the war.
If Lizhi was captured by the Turks…
Li Tai's fingers scratched the rough city wall, his face filled with terror.
If he returned to Chang 'an, he would definitely lose favor!
Only God knew how important Princess Li Lizhi was in Li Shiming's heart. She was like a precious baby in his hand that he was afraid to crush and melt in his mouth!
"No! Duke Wei, give me 5,000 soldiers. I want to kill my way back to Gubei Pass and find Lizhi!”
"No, Duke Wei, you should personally command the army to counterattack Gubei Pass and drive away the Turks. Let's see if we can find Lizhi!”
Li Tai had gone mad with anxiety. That was the sister he had doted on since he was young. She was so weak. If she fell into the hands of the Turks, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Seeing this, Duke Wei Li Jing closed his eyes slightly and sighed sadly."The war between the militarists lies in planning. Gubei Pass has already been lost to the enemy, and our morale is dispirited.”
"What should we do then?!" Li Tai roared. Are you not going to save Lizhi?"
