Longxi County is adjacent to Guanzhong.
There was a Qin straight road connecting them.
A fast horse can reach the county in two or three days.
If he only entered Longxi County, he would be able to arrive in a day or so.
Ying Lin brought the eighty-one Dragon Guards, White Horse Cavalry General Yan Gang, Deputy General Qi Sai, hundreds of White Horse Righteous Followers, and Zhang Liang, who had come from the Qiang Krupp, to Longxi.
This place was seriously affected.
The earth is dry and cracked.
Countless crops were dying.
The Great Qin Empire was facing a crisis and a natural disaster.
It was undoubtedly adding insult to injury and bringing about a lot of pressure.
"Your Majesty."
"A village has been looted.”
A plundered village?
Was it done by bandits?
Many people could not survive in this year of disaster.
When these refugees had nowhere to go, they would often become bandits and wander around to plunder.
However…
When he saw the situation at the scene.
Ying Lin's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.
This small village was not large, with only a hundred or so households. Most of the houses in the village had been burned down. Only the corpses of the elderly could be seen, but there were no corpses of the young, strong, women, and children... It was not as simple as a robbery by ordinary bandits.
"Not far!"
"Chase!"
The bandits captured dozens of women, young men, children, chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep, and headed west. They didn't move quickly, as if they weren't worried about pursuers. They were all dressed as Hu, and their horses were strong and well-equipped.
"They're actually Xiongnu people?" Zhang Liang muttered.”
"Why would the Huns appear in the hinterland of Longxi?" Qi Sai was puzzled.”
"We'll have to ask them!" Ying Lin saw that his guess was right, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He lifted the Chiyou War Banner and said,""Kill the enemy with me!"
Obviously.
The Huns didn't realize that danger was coming.
They captured dozens of young men and women, plundered a lot of resources, and gained a lot.
In the eyes of the Xiongnu, the Chinese were no different from cattle and sheep. Their status was even lower than warhorses. Whoever could capture them would be their slaves. The land of China was no different from a hunting ground in the forest.
Suddenly.
Hundreds of white horses followed him.
The White Horse Righteous Followers had an innate suppressive effect on the Hu.
The Xiongnu people had never thought that such an elite Qin army would appear in this place.
Ying Lin took the lead and pierced through a few Xiongnu cavalrymen. The Dragon Guards and White Horse Righteous Warriors rushed forward and crushed them without any suspense. They instantly defeated this troop.
The few leaders were still alive.
He was escorted to Ying Lin by the Dragon Guards.
"How dare you attack us?!" The Xiongnu leader shouted in horror. Do you want to die?"
Ying Lin was so angry that he laughed.
This was Great Qin's territory.
These were Great Qin's people.
These Hu people had barged into Great Qin's territory, killed its people, captured its people, burned, killed, and plundered its people. They had committed all sorts of crimes, yet they had threatened Great Qin's Emperor. There was nothing more laughable than this.
"I want to see Li Ling!"
"Li Ling won't give me an explanation!"
"Otherwise, China will be trampled to the ground by our Xiongnu army!”
"How dare you attack the warriors of the grasslands!”
The leader of the Xiongnu people shouted wildly and repeatedly mentioned a name. He seemed to believe that as long as he said this name, these Qin soldiers would not dare to do anything to him.
Li Ling.
Longxi County Governor.
Ying Lin's expression darkened.
He gave the Dragon Guard Emissaries a look.
The Dragon Guards immediately dragged the Huns away and interrogated them.
It was a cruel torture.
The Xiongnu people confessed everything that they needed to.
The truth was revealed.
Ying Lin was furious!
Killing intent erupted uncontrollably!
Everyone else present kept quiet out of fear!
The actions of this group of Xiongnu people were actually tacitly approved by County Governor Li Ling!
So…
All these years.
The Great Qin Dynasty was declining day by day.
Li Ling and the Xiongnu had reached some kind of agreement.
The Xiongnu promised not to invade Longxi.
Li Ling had to turn a blind eye to the looting of the Xiongnu.
Since then, the Xiongnu people had been wanton, entering the hinterland of Longxi to plunder every two or three days.
Thousands of people in Longxi had been killed or injured, and countless cattle, sheep, horses, and assets had been lost. However, Xianyang had never received any corresponding reports. The county governor, Li Ling, might have taken a share of the profits.
"Alright!"
"Very good!"
"A dignified county governor!"
"The Li Clan of Longxi!"
"He actually colluded with the Xiongnu during the national crisis!”
Ying Lin had not informed them beforehand that he was coming to Longxi this time. His original intention was to solve the local drought. He had not expected to stumble upon such a huge scandal!
Zhang Liang was also extremely indignant at this moment!
Longxi Li Family.
There are more than a dozen branches and thousands of people.
They were definitely the top families in China!
This family had produced many famous officials and generals.
Among them was the famous general Li Xin from the First Emperor's era.
A noble family had actually colluded with outsiders and secretly harmed the people.
This was the first time Zhang Liang and Ying Lin shared a common enemy.
Although he was not from Qin!
But they were all Chinese!
This Li Ling deserved to die!
Dozens of commoners cried when they learned of Ying Lin's identity.
Ying Lin said in a deep voice,"I'm late. Everyone has suffered!"”
At this moment, a little girl asked with red eyes,"My father was killed by the Hu. He once said that Your Majesty was the most powerful person in the world and begged Your Majesty to seek justice for my father.”
The five-year-old girl knelt down and kowtowed.
This made Ying Lin feel uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I swear that I will take revenge!”
"Pass on my order. Advance at full speed towards Di Dao!”
A few Xiongnu escaped bandits.
He spread the news.
Longxi County's County Governor, Li Ling, had received the news in advance.
He was scared out of his wits.
The emperor personally came to Longxi?
Not good!
It had happened!
Li Ling and Xiongnu people have long been at loggerheads.
However, in the early days, it was nothing more than secretly smuggling ironware, weapons, and materials.
Roughly half a year ago, Li Ling saw that Great Qin's fate was over and that its destruction was imminent, so he took the risk and prepared to take advantage of Great Qin's destruction.
Who would have thought?
On the eve of Great Qin's destruction.
Suddenly, he miraculously survived for the time being.
If the emperor really found out about this, he would be sentenced to death!
"Close the city gates! Close the city gates! Gather the guards immediately! No one is allowed in!" Li Ling immediately shouted,"Men, immediately send a message to Prince Youxian. Tell him to send troops to save me!"”
It was too late!
Di Dao City's garrison was about to close the city gates.
Ying Lin had already arrived with five hundred light cavalry.
The 81 Dragon Guards easily broke through the city gates. When Ying Lin revealed his identity, all the civilians and soldiers in the city knelt down and submitted. Li Ling, who was trying to escape, was blocked!
Very quickly.
From his mansion.
They found a large number of letters from the Xiongnu.
The evidence was conclusive!
All these things were placed in front of Ying Lin.
