On behalf of the country.
When the letter of credence was delivered, the emissary stood proudly in the imperial court, looking like he was interrogating someone.
"Please give us an explanation, Your Majesty. Our Emperor Wu has decided to deploy 70,000 troops and break off relations with the Dai Alliance. If we give up on attacking Yan Han and destroy Dai, it will be a loss.”
"Are you…threatening me?"
There was a person sitting in the imperial court. He was dressed in a red dragon robe and looked to be in his thirties.
This generation's emperor was thin and weak, the kind that was so thin that he was only skin and bones. His face was also strangely white.
Just like his suspicious personality, just one look at his face and he knew that he was not a friendly person.
"What official are you in the Wu Dynasty?"
"I'm not talented. I'm the second-grade Dianke Manager of the Wu Dynasty, and I'm from the Martial Emperor's faction.”
Dianke was an official in charge of diplomatic affairs in the Wu Dynasty, and the manager was the chief official.
The Acting Emperor smiled sinisterly, like a pale ghost that had just crawled out of a grave. The corners of his mouth curled up into an evil arc.
"My Dai Kingdom has never sent troops to attack your Wu Dynasty. Although my dynasty is a small country, we cannot tolerate your humiliation.”
"Humph! Was the Acting Emperor not afraid of the army of the Wu Dynasty?”
What the Acting Emperor could not tolerate the most was someone challenging his authority. If the envoy obeyed him, everything would be fine.
If not, he would not have a good expression.
"Men, bring an oil cauldron over."
The palace guards carried over an oil cauldron filled with oil.
The Acting Emperor instructed,
"Set up the ignition."
After a while, the flame was ignited and the oil pot was cooked.
Dai Di pointed to the pot and asked the master of the store:
"Are you afraid?"
"Humph!"
The manager waved his sleeve, and the Acting Emperor's eyes turned cold.
Originally, he sent troops to respond to the Wu Dynasty and sent troops to Yan Han to gain something, but he didn't expect...
This time, they had lost nearly 30,000 men!
This was not all. Lin Yi had sent the corpses of the Dai soldiers back to the border camp twice in a row, causing the soldiers at the front line to be furious. A mutiny broke out, and the generals were killed in the chaotic army. The rebellion had not yet subsided…
The Acting Emperor was a person who cared about his face, so how could he tolerate the fact that the envoy of the Wu Dynasty had come to the main hall with his head held high and treated him as nothing?
"Bring my third son over."
After giving the order, the leader brought over a black and white spotted puppy.
The Acting Emperor picked up the dog in the court and laughed on the spot. The hall was filled with his laughter and the barking of the dog.
The Wu Dynasty's manager was extremely embarrassed. They were used to being tyrannical, but the Dai Emperor did not seem to fall for it.
He endured it and stood in the main hall, maintaining the prestige of a great country's ambassador.
Then, something cruel happened…
The Acting Emperor suddenly looked at a young eunuch standing behind him. The eunuch only swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he immediately seized the opportunity to pull him out.
"Presumptuous! How dare he be so rude in front of a foreign envoy?”
"Men, chop off one of his hands!”
The little princess knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. She was so scared that she cried.
"Ah…"
With a scream, an arm was chopped off.
Not long after, the oil cauldron boiled. The acting emperor snorted.
"Put it in and blow it up for my third son to enjoy.”
The guard used iron clips to clip his arm and put it into a pot of oil to fry until it was golden yellow. Then, he respectfully sent it to the substitute emperor.
"Mm, well done. You've been promoted by one rank. In the future, you'll be my personal guard.”
The guard was delighted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Acting Emperor held the golden arm in his hand and fed it to the dog in his arms.
At this moment, the Wu Dynasty's envoy was stunned on the spot. His heart was cold, and he already had the intention to admit defeat.
The dog took a few bites and turned its head away.
The acting emperor sighed.
"Since my third son doesn't want to eat it, I'll give it to the envoy of the Wu Dynasty.”
The expression of the Wu Dynasty manager changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is not a joke. How can you eat human flesh?”
"That's right, this meat was cut off from a human. We Dai people can't eat such delicious food, so we specially offered it to the emissary from your Great Country.”
The Wu Dynasty manager still wanted to resist. He drew his saber on behalf of the emperor and shouted,
"Eat an arm, or chop off an arm and fry it into the cauldron. Choose one!”
The Wu Dynasty manager was stunned, trembling like a stray dog, no longer as dignified as before.
Under the guard's forceful stuffing, he ate the fried meat into his mouth and cried bitterly…
"Very good."
The Acting Emperor said,"
"Our dynasty has already investigated this matter. The Yan Han Army killed our Dai Kingdom's cavalry and changed their flag to launch a sneak attack. I've already told you that you insist that our Dai Kingdom compensate us with 300,000 taels of gold and 2,000,000 taels of silver. Our Dai Kingdom's gold and silver do not come from the wind. Please inform the Martial Emperor that the Dai Kingdom and the Wu Dynasty are willing to continue to maintain the alliance, but if the Wu Dynasty insists on oppressing the Dai Kingdom, even a rabbit will bite when it's anxious.”
"Yes, yes…I…I will definitely report this.”
After sending off the manager, he removed the oil cauldron and gave the broken arm to the young princess on behalf of the emperor.
"Send him out of the palace and spend the rest of his life in peace.”
The little mistress didn't dare to say no.
The acting emperor had extraordinary methods and was proficient in political tactics, but he was too ruthless.
"Where were we?"
"Speaking of Lin Yi, although this person is only a middle-level general, he is proficient in military strategy. He is a huge threat to our country!”
The Acting Emperor's eyes lit up and he said angrily,"
"Our Dai Kingdom is unable to subdue Lin Yi. Since that's the case, it's better to kill him and get rid of future troubles!”
"Your Majesty, please pass down the decree."
" He sent experts to Chang 'an City to assassinate Lin Yi's family first, and then gather all the spies in Yunzhou, Jinzhou, Qingzhou, and other places. I heard that Emperor Qin wanted Lin Yi to return to Chizhou for the nuptial chamber, so he could kill him halfway."”
"Yes, sir!"
After the decree was drafted, not long after, the acting emperor said,
"Send Yan Shouchen over as well. With the number one assassin of our Dai Kingdom, we can ensure that we can kill Lin Yi without any worries.”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Yan Han capital Chang 'an, Qin Emperor today is particularly happy, set up a banquet, monarch and minister happy.
"Lin Yi really didn't let me down. Everything he did at the southwest border was according to my wishes. Dear ministers, please decide. He defeated the Dai Kingdom's army that attacked the Han Dynasty and beheaded nearly 30,000 people.”
Sikong Xuan said,
"Your Majesty, Lin Yi does have the talent to lead troops. Why don't you promote him to General Annan?”
Rank-4 was promoted to Rank-3, and his military rank was also promoted by one rank.
Emperor Qin asked again if there was anyone in the court who refused to accept it.
However, everyone was convinced by the answer they received this time.
This time, the civil and military officials in the court really could not say anything. Ever since Lin Yi's military report from the border said that Dai Country had almost burned the provisions of the Great Gold Mountain, Great General Qin Guang had been frustrated and self-destructed, thinking that the land at the southwest border would be occupied by Dai Country.
He had even apologized to Emperor Qin and demoted himself. However, all of this ended with Lin Yi's Thousand Mile Flash Battle, which destroyed Dai Kingdom and beheaded nearly 30,000 people. It was a great victory!
Seeing that there were no objections in the court, Emperor Qin issued an edict,"
"Then promote Lin Yi to the third rank general of Annan. Reward him with three hundred taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver, and fifty bolts of silk.”
"Right! Ever since Lin Yi joined the army, everyone in Yan Han knows that he hasn't entered the bridal chamber yet!”
"Hahaha!"
The officials in the court burst into laughter. The diligent emperor said,
"Pass down the imperial decree. Lin Yi has been ordered to consummate his marriage with Ning Jin 'er. Summon him immediately. If the Wu Dynasty attacks on a large scale, doesn't our army have sufficient troops? Let Gao Deng, the former general, hold on first. If he was anxious, he couldn't let Lin Yi suffer.”
Emperor Qin's summons would take at least five to six days to reach Jiangyang.
During this period of time, Lin Yi did not idle either.
"General, what are you grinding crystals into round cakes for?”
Lin Yi said,
"This is called a telescope."
"This subordinate doesn't understand. This subordinate only knows that this peephole thing definitely can't be eaten.”
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Hu Dahai.
"You only know how to eat and eat all day. Let me tell you, if I make this thing, I can see things that can't be seen with the naked eye two miles away clearly.”
"How much? Two miles?"
Hu Dahai shook his head."
"Can a few broken crystals really make a clairvoyant?”
Lin Yi was also helpless. Although he was a modern person, he really wasn't the kind of protagonist who could remember everything.
Lin Yi only remembered the general history. He had long forgotten the chemical formulas. The method of making glass, the purification of cane sugar... If he knew this, he would have made a fortune long ago.
The only invention that Lin Yi remembered was a telescope. As long as a few lenses were ground and placed in a bamboo tube, one could see a distant scene.
Lin Yi had made this telescope to match it with the Scouting Eye so that he could observe Wu Zhao 'er's camp more carefully.
After making the simple binoculars, Lin Yi chose a mountain and climbed up the ridge to see Wu Zhao 'er's military camp.
From this distance, it was naturally difficult for the naked eye to see everything. Even if Lin Yi had the Scouting Eye, he could not see that far.
But what about the Scouting Eye and binoculars?
Lin Yi saw the imperial edict of the Wu Dynasty, and Wu Zhao 'er knelt down to receive it.
Not long after, the Imperial Decree Commander handed over a gilded Coiling Dragon Staff. Beside him stood two burly military officers.
Lin Yi asked in confusion,
"A five-foot-long rod with a golden coiling dragon on the surface and two ends wrapped in red cloth. What is this rod used for?”
The vice-general beside him replied,
"I, Yan Han, call this rod the family rod. If a relative of the imperial family makes a mistake, His Majesty will not only punish him according to the law, but also use this rod to personally punish him.”
Lin Yi nodded. This was for the imperial family to be punished.
"Is this rod used for punishment?”
"Milord, the Wu Dynasty uses this staff to punish the royal family, just like I, Yan Han.”
Lin Yi understood. At the same time, he thought to himself, who else is there in the military camp of the Wu Dynasty?
Only Wu Zhao 'er!
Why?
A Martial Emperor wanted to beat up this good-for-nothing brat after making a mistake?
The Second Princess was far away at the border. How could she have angered the Martial Emperor?
Lin Yi's eyes turned. He suddenly thought of how he had broken into the Wu Dynasty and plundered the three counties. He could break into the Wu Dynasty without any effort because Wu Zhao 'er allowed him to borrow the country's territory.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi understood.
The Martial Emperor was probably angered by this matter and wanted to torture Wu Zhao 'er.
When the gilded rod hit the princess's p * nis, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea. He said to the messenger,
"Quickly return to the camp and call Mister Northern Sparrow over. Tell him that I have something to ask of him.”
Not long after, Northern Sparrow arrived.
"What is it?"
"Your movement technique is strange, and you can come and go without a trace. Help me cut a hole in Wu Zhao 'er's tent.”
Northern Sparrow was puzzled.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Yi said bluntly to Northern Sparrow,
"The Second Princess of the Wu Dynasty is being tortured. The scene is too beautiful. I want to see it.”
Northern Sparrow was speechless.
