The mountainous regions of Baiyue were not conducive for the army to travel. The 90,000 Han soldiers stretched for nearly ten miles. Although they did not encounter any resistance, many soldiers were poisoned.
Baiyi was not an expert in perfumery, and he was also very proficient in some medicinal techniques. Ordinary miasma poisoning was not a problem for him, but it had a huge impact on the speed of the army.
"No wonder the Baiyue believe in witchcraft and use the Flying Snake as their totem.”Baiyifei muttered to himself. After entering the heart of the Baiyue, he finally understood what it meant to have a land and water to support its people.
Large areas of the wilderness had not been reclaimed and were covered with thorns. The mountains maintained their original appearance. The people lived in the mountains, and many people even lived in caves.
Many of the commoners were not wearing any clothes and were holding stone and bone tools.
"Wildlands!"
This was the biggest feeling Baiyifei had ever since he entered the Bai Yue Realm.
"Do you regret it?" Yan Lingji asked with a smile.
There were few plains in Baiyue, and most of them lived in the mountains by the water. They built tribes and villages, and there were few truly rich people.
"I'll come, I'll see, I'll conquer!" Baiyifei smiled.”
The Wilderness also meant secrecy.
Many things that could not be done openly could be done here.
A plan had formed in Baiyi's mind, but there was a prerequisite for everything.
The Royal Court of the Bai Yue must be destroyed!
Yan Lingji looked at him curiously and asked,""Then how do you plan to conquer it?"
"Create new beliefs for them, create new totems, and teach them new words!”
"Conquering is a long process. I will lead them out of the Wilderness.”
Bai Yifei's confident and arrogant expression made Yan Lingji's eyes light up.
"Then what do they have to pay?"
"Loyalty!" Baiyifei spat out two words.
Yan Lingji calmed down and decided to continue observing.
She did not realize that she was already deeply attracted to Bai Yifei.
She remembered everything that Bai Yifei had done and said.
And often fascinated by it!
Bai Yifei did not notice Yan Lingji's strange behavior. At this moment, his mind and body were completely focused on Bai Yue.
What he said to Yan Lingji was not nonsense, but everything had to start from the destruction of the Bai Yue Dynasty.
After another three days, the Han army's advance troops arrived near Fiery Rain Manor.
As a famous tycoon of the Yue Country, in order to avoid some people with ulterior motives, the Fire Rain Duke had built the Fire Rain Manor extremely sturdy. It was like a small city tower. There were ditches dug out on all sides of the manor, and the walls were tall, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Ordinary bandits could not do anything to Fiery Rain Manor, but what Fiery Rain Manor was about to welcome was the most elite troops of Han Country.
The White Armor Army!
Bai Yifei was standing on a hill. The Fiery Rain Manor was right at the foot of the hill.
"It's flat on all sides, quite suitable for setting up camp.”Baiyifei muttered to himself.
After entering the Bai Yue, he realized that 90,000 troops were a little too much.
"Pass down the order to station the camp near Fiery Rain Manor and not disturb the people.”
"Yes."
“……”
Fire Rain Duke, who was standing on top of the small city tower, felt his heart almost jump into his throat.
"What…are they doing?"
As far as his eyes could see, it was all white armor, and large tents were erected under his gaze.
"Are they setting up camp here?”
The expression of Fire Rain Duke's wife, Water Nun, was exactly the same as Fire Rain Duke's.
"It seems like I have to go out for a while," said Duke Fiery Rain, his eyelids twitching.”
"What? This…will it be dangerous?" Water Nun's eyes were filled with worry.
"Take Fu 'er and Rong' er to the underground cave to hide. If I don't go find you before tonight, you can take refuge in the Water Immortal Clan through the passage.”Fire Rain Duke said in a deep voice.
“……”
After arranging his family, Fire Rain Duke opened the gate of the manor with four servants and walked nervously to the Han army's camp.
"I'm the Fiery Rain Manor's Manor Lord Hu Youren, and I wish to see General Bai. I'll have to trouble you to pass on the message.”Fire Rain Duke was very respectful. He handed over a piece of gold as he spoke.
"Fire Rain Duke?" The soldier guarding the camp asked.
"Um…yes." Fire Rain Duke raised his head and looked at the young general guarding the camp. He had thought that the other party was just an ordinary soldier. His attitude was respectful, but he did not take him seriously.
When he raised his head, he realized that the young general in front of him had an indescribable temperament.
Moreover, he was handsome and did not look like an ordinary soldier.
For a moment, Fiery Rain Duke felt a sense of importance.
Naturally, the person he saw was not an ordinary soldier, but Li Kai, who had lost his military power to Bai Yifei!
"Wait here." Li Kai turned around and returned to the camp, heading straight for the main tent.
"Even a small soldier guarding the gate has such temperament. The White Armor Army is indeed not to be underestimated.”
Fire Rain Duke muttered to himself as he glanced at the other guard. He felt that the guard was very ordinary, but he did not dare to underestimate him after the previous incident.
"Let him in."
Inside the tent, Bai Yifei opened his mouth.
He wasn't surprised by Princess Fiery Rain's arrival.
With the army pressing down, no merchant could remain indifferent.
"Yes."
Li Kai stole a glance at Bai Yifei, who was busy with his work, and left the room.
After he entered the main tent, Baiyifei did not look him in the eye.
He still could not accept this kind of difference calmly.
"Hehe, the one who just came in to report is the Right Sima, Lord Li Kai.”
Yan Lingji, who was disguised as a man, reminded Li Kai with a smile after he left.
"What are you trying to say?" Baiyifei asked.
He naturally recognized Li Kai's voice, but he didn't think he needed to respond.
Yan Lingji blinked her eyes and was speechless.
"Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to take this fall and commit suicide again?”
"What does it have to do with me?" Baiyifei asked.”
“……”
After Fire Rain Duke was led into the main tent, he did not dare to raise his head. He glanced in the direction of the people in the tent and knelt down in the middle of the tent.
"I am the master of Fiery Rain Manor, Hu Youren. Greetings, General Bai.”
Fire Rain Duke lowered his head, feeling uneasy.
"Isn't the master of Fiery Rain Manor Lord Fiery Rain Duke?”Before Bai Yifei could speak, Yan Lingji, who was standing behind him, could not help but ask.
"Uh…that's a good name given by the villagers. I'm Fire Rain Duke.”
Fiery Rain Duke replied cautiously, but at the same time, he muttered in his heart,""Why does this General Bai sound like a woman?”
Yan Lingji glanced at Bai Yifei, who was busy handling official business. She rolled her eyes at him, as if he had no intention of speaking.
Naturally, he knew that Baiyi did not want to leave the Fire Rain Duke in the lurch.
As time passed, Duke Fiery Rain's heart grew more and more uneasy, and cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead.
