Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Cousin Zhongda, the old man who died was Yuwen Wuji, the master of the Zhenguo Hall of the Shanlian Empire, the imperial tutor, and the master of the Great Perfection of the Earth, and the one who turned into a hedgehog was Shanji, the third prince of the Shanlian Empire."

Liu Ziyu swallowed, knowing that cousin Zhongda was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful!

The master of the Great Perfection of the Earth will kill as soon as he is told without blinking an eye!

So awesome!

He is indeed the omnipotent cousin Zhongda!

worship!

"Oh yes, he is Shan Pao's younger brother! In that case, let's take them on the road together and send them back to the Imperial Capital!"

Lin Yi nodded seriously. This is the conduct a good person should have, sending the enemy's corpse back to its roots!

Anyway, there is just a matter of two more coffins.

Liu Ziyu immediately arranged for people to collect the body, and then the team continued to move forward.

No one paid attention to what happened just now. It seemed that the person who died was not a master of the Great Perfection of the Earth, nor was the third prince of the Shanlian Empire.

They are just two vicious dogs blocking the road. If they die, they will die, no big deal!

Yuwen Wuji and his party stopped Lin Yi and his party in the Longbang Titled Kingdom, and then they were turned into corpses and dragged on the road together.

The next day, Lin Yi led people to the first city in the territory directly under the Shanlian Empire.

"Tell your guard to come out and speak!"

Lin Yi led the soldiers from the personal guard battalion directly to the city, showing that he was not afraid of a sneak attack from the top of the city with thousands of arrows: "Tell him that Sima Zhongda of Hongshang County is here with his blood ghosts!"

The guard was actually at the top of the city. When he heard Lin Yi announcing his home address, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down!

Blood ghost!

These three words have now become the nightmare of all Shanlian Empire soldiers. They represent endless death and terror!

"I...I am the guard general of this city! I wonder if General Sima has any advice?"

The guard didn't want to stand out, but the subordinates around him were looking at him eagerly. He had no choice but to stick his head out on the city wall and talk to Lin Yi.

"There is nothing to teach you. I just want to tell you that this time we are sending the corpses of your Shanlian Empire's eldest prince Shanpao, third prince Shanji, and Taifu Yuwen Wuji to the imperial capital and hand them over to your emperor in person. Do you think it’s time to open the city gate to greet us?”

Lin Yi waved his hand casually, and the three coffins were pushed out. After opening the cover, the appearance of three of the corpses was revealed.

The guard's expression changed with horror, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

He didn't know that Yuwen Wuji and Shanji had gone to trouble Lin Yi, and the news from the Imperial Capital didn't reach here so quickly.

So when he suddenly saw Yuwen Wuji, the most powerful man in the empire, turned into a corpse, he felt as if the whole sky was beginning to collapse!

As for Shanpao and Shanji... they are dead as long as they die. The guard really doesn't take them seriously. They are just two useless princes. It doesn't matter if two more die.

"You, you, you...you killed Taifu?!"

The morale of the guards and soldiers on the city wall plummeted. If they had the courage and will to take up arms and resist for a while, they have given up now!

"If you don't believe it, you can come over and do the autopsy yourself!"

The tip of Lin Yi's sword was lightly tapped twice on the coffin. The blade reflected the sunlight, which was dazzling.

After a moment of silence, the guard suddenly became firm: "I surrender!"

After saying this, the soldiers around him were obviously relieved, and some even laughed outright.

Lin Yi was confused, what is this? Surrender? !

Liu Ziyu and the soldiers in the guard camp looked strange, obviously they did not expect such an ending.

They thought they had to say more words anyway, and then they would consider surrendering after everyone had another fight.

After just a few words, you surrendered?

Scratching his forehead, Lin Yi didn't seem to ask them to surrender!

Is it because of these corpses?

Lin Yi didn't expect to understand, but the guard had already opened the city gate with great force, quickly ran to Lin Yi, knelt down on one knee, and held the sword with both hands above his head.

"General Sima, our entire army surrenders. There are 30,000 regular troops, 50,000 auxiliary troops, and hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city. General Sima, please treat the civilians well and don't embarrass them."

Although the guard surrendered, he was still a little worried, fearing that Lin Yi would kill him with one strike.

After all, when the Shanlian Empire attacked the Long Kingdom, they did not accept surrender at all.

Regardless of whether they surrendered or not, all the soldiers of the Long Kingdom were slaughtered, and only some common people were kidnapped and used as slaves.

He was afraid that Lin Yi would treat them like this.

"Why do you want to surrender? There are 30,000 soldiers and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers in the city. Among the hundreds of thousands of people, at least a hundred thousand young men can be mobilized to help defend the city. It will not be easy for us to break the city."

Lin Yi did not take the sword held high by the guard, but first satisfied his curiosity.

As he said, this city has excellent defense capabilities and has enough manpower to defend the city, so why surrender?

Blood Ghost's reputation was all gained in wild battles. They are not good at siege warfare. What's more, with only 800 people, it is really not easy to attack a city!

The guard's heart tightened. Lin Yi did not take the sword, which made him even more uneasy. He was afraid that Lin Yi would not accept the surrender, so he could only lower his head further and said respectfully: "General Sima is so powerful that I have long admired him." I have been looking forward to following the general for a long time, and now that I have this opportunity, I cannot let it go!"

This was Hong Guoguo's flattery. Lin Yi said noncommittally and did not express any opinion.

"In addition, Emperor Shante sent troops to attack his own country for his own selfish purposes, ignoring the soldiers and people in the world, resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Longbang Titled Kingdom..."

At this point, the guard's body shook slightly. He remembered that the culprit that directly caused the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers was right in front of him, and he couldn't say any more.

"...In fact, Shante has lost the hearts of the people in the world. Whether they are people from the empire or people from the Long Kingdom, they are actually one family. Why are they killing like this? So General Sima is here, and we would rather surrender , and I don’t want to continue fighting!”

After finally getting rid of the topic, the guard secretly wiped a cold sweat in his heart, and then continued to feel uneasy, not knowing how Lin Yi would deal with him.

Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, and he could feel that the guard's intention to surrender was true, but it was difficult to say how credible these words were.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s always a good thing to save some trouble!

"Get up. You continue to hold your sword. This city still requires you to guard it. I am just passing by today and have no time to take over the city!"

Lin Yi used the blade of his sword to gently lift the guard's arm, changing him from kneeling to a standing position, and then urged his horse forward.
