Beauty and the Bodyguard

Sima Zhongxiao really exploded in his small universe, his IQ was all on the line, he kept talking, and he really made some sense out of him.

Especially when he revealed the information that the Sima family had already established a connection with the Martial Alliance, Lin Yi was really surprised.

These guys move pretty fast!

However, if it were before heading to the Forest of Illusions, Lin Yi would still be somewhat apprehensive and have a headache.

Now, Lin Yi is not worried at all!

After all, the deputy hall leader of the Naduo Illusion Martial Alliance branch, Hua Monogatari, has personally said that he will handle the affairs of the Hongshang Empire.

When Lin Yi was in Naduo's imperial capital, because he was in a hurry to come back, he did not wait for the process to be completed at the branch. He just received some physical rewards and rushed back to the Hongshang Empire.

I'll leave everything else to Hakmonogatari.

Unexpectedly, Sima Yunfei's side actually moved the minds of Wu Meng and made arrangements in advance.

"Recognition from the Martial Alliance? I think you are overthinking it!"

With Hua Monogatari coming forward, it is impossible for the Naduo Illusion Martial Alliance branch to lean towards the Sima family.

After all, the previous Sima family was just a princely family in Hongshang County. Compared with the entire Naduo Titled Empire, it was really small.

With the Sima family's little background, it is basically impossible to complete the Wu League's mission of founding a country.

"Sima Zhengxin, I have said this, will you choose to abdicate obediently, or will you continue to be stubborn and resist to the end?"

Lin Yi ignored Sima Zhongxiao and turned to look at Sima Zhengxin: "The future of the Sima family depends on your thoughts. Make a decision quickly!"

Sima Zheng was extremely torn. He didn't want to give up the throne, but he didn't dare to offend Lin Yi. After hesitating for a while, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Can... can you give us a few days to think about it?"

Sima Zhongxiao also said just now that Sima Yunfei is handling the canonization of the Martial Alliance, and according to the information Sima Zhengxin received, this matter has made great progress.

Therefore, Sima Zhengxin wanted to delay time. Once he obtained the recognition of the Martial Alliance, Lin Yi should not be able to make a comeback.

Although the Shanlian Empire was destroyed by Lin Yi in the past, it is impossible for the Martial Alliance to sit back and watch two empires being destroyed by the same person. That would become the laughing stock of the world!

"Stop using your mind and make a choice now. Do you want the Sima family to be exterminated, or do you want to obediently return the throne to Ziyu?"

Lin Yi looked cold and completely unmoved: "I don't have much patience, so I'll give you the last ten seconds to count! Ten!"

"Nine!"

"eight!"

As Lin Yi counted quickly and powerfully, Sima Zhengxin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at Sima Zhongxiao with helpless eyes.

I hope this grandson, the only one with some ability, can figure out some way to break the situation.

It's a pity that Sima Zhongxiao is also a strong man. If he could beat Lin Yi, he might take action to suppress him, but when it was obvious that he was no match for him, Sima Zhongxiao decisively gave in.

"three!"

Seeing that the last time given by Lin Yi was about to end, Sima Zhengxin was under great pressure and almost gave up.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud shouting coming from outside the palace!

"The envoy from the Naduo Illusion Martial Alliance branch has arrived!"

"The messenger from the Naduo Illusion Martial Alliance branch has arrived!"

"Report! The envoy from the Naduo Illusion Martial Alliance branch has arrived!"

………

The sound transmitted from far to near was as sweet to the ears of Sima Zhengxin and his grandson as the sound of immortality!

Unexpectedly, at this last moment, there would be such a reversal!

"Well...since he is an envoy from the Martial Alliance, let's go and greet him first!"

Sima Zhengxin was relieved, but also secretly happy!

Fortunately, I have a strong psychological quality and did not agree to the threat of that little bastard Sima Yi, otherwise it would have ended badly!

"Hahahaha, Sima Yi, the Martial Alliance envoy is here, and you have to follow us to greet it, otherwise you will offend the Martial Alliance! This is a behemoth on the island, and it is not something that our mere Hongshang Empire can afford to offend. Yes!"

Sima Zhongxiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his old man had brought the people back, but he had grasped the timing really well, it was a critical moment!

Lin Yi frowned slightly. He had just returned to the Hongshang Empire, and he was the fastest flying spirit beast he could ride. Hua Monogatari shouldn't be able to follow him so quickly, right?

Of course, it would not be impossible if Hua Monogatari shortened the process time to the limit and followed Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi felt that this possibility was not high.

So, could it be that the people coming from the Martial Alliance this time were brought by Sima Zhengxin and the others?

If the Sima family takes over the legitimacy of the Hongshang Empire, things will become a little troublesome!

I didn't know about the existence of the Wu Meng before, and Lin Yi didn't think anything of it when he led his troops to destroy the Shanlian Empire. But now that he has seen the Wu Meng's behavior, Lin Yi doesn't want to go against this organization.

After all, it is a righteous organization that protects humans from dark monsters. Even if Lin Yi doesn't think he is a good person, it does not hinder his appreciation of such good people.

Even if Hua Monogatari said he would take care of this matter for Lin Yi, what if someone else takes care of it first?

Lin Yi didn't think Hua Monogatari could rely on his status as deputy hall leader to suppress all opposition and forcefully make changes for himself.

"Since he is the envoy of the Martial Alliance, let's go meet him together!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Yi shrugged and said calmly.

There is no point in insisting on forcing Sima Zhengxin. The other party has the excuse of someone coming from the Martial Alliance. No matter what happens, this old guy will probably not give in easily. It is better to see the situation first.

As a result, the three people who were originally at war with each other temporarily became amicable and went out to greet the people from the Martial Alliance.

Soon, Lin Yi saw the envoy from the Martial Alliance.

Lin Yi didn't know the person coming. Of course, apart from Hua Monogatari, Lin Yi didn't know anyone else in the Martial Alliance either.

However, this person was accompanied by Sima Yunfei, so he knew without asking that he must have been the one to support the Sima family.

When Sima Yunfei saw Lin Yi coming out with Sima Zhengxin and Sima Zhongxiao, a trace of shock and confusion flashed in his eyes!

However, in front of the Martial Alliance envoys, Sima Yunfei didn't hesitate to ask more questions, and just smiled and came over to introduce them to everyone.

"Father, this is the envoy of the Martial Alliance, Lord Da Kenghuo, the steward of the Naduo Illusion Martial Alliance branch! This time, I came here specifically to resolve the status issue of our Hongshang Empire."

After Sima Yunfei introduced the envoys from the Martial Alliance, he pointed at Sima Zhengxin and Sima Zhongxiao respectively and said: "This is my father, the current emperor of the Hongshang Empire! And this is my young master!"

He directly chose to ignore Lin Yi, and the skinny man with a goatee and an arrogant expression called Da Kenghuo didn't ask any questions.
