Chapter 332: Chapter 330: Troubleso Barbarians
Indeed, as Lin Yi tried to approach,
Ying Yi instantly put the Treasure Sword in front of her chest, blocking Lin Yi from getting closer.
“Hey, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, I just want to sit down, not do anything.”
“Really not going to do anything?”
“Really not.”
“If you’re not doing anything, then why co over?”
“Uh, then should we do sothing?”
“What do you want to do?”
“Whatever you want to do.”
In a mont’s ti, indeed, the Maid driving the carriage outside had once again turned completely red-faced.
As the carriage was about to enter the Capital City, Lin Yi’s voice suddenly ca from inside.
“This bumpy ride must have made you hungry, right?”
Upon hearing this, Ying Yi’s face changed, and she responded grumpily:
“I don’t want to eat, my mouth hurts.”
Lin Yi mysteriously produced a pristine little jade bowl.
“Hehe, see, I’m considerate. Knowing your mouth hurts, I specially prepared so yogurt. Drink it while it’s warm.”
Watching Ying Yi drink the entire small bowl of yogurt, Lin Yi then carefully wiped the corners of her mouth,
Feeding the remaining bits into her mouth.
“Let’s go, His Majesty must have been waiting for a while, let’s enter the Imperial Palace first.”
Who knew that upon hearing this, Ying Yi gave him a grumpy glare:
“You know His Majesty has been waiting, and you’re still dawdling outside?”
Hearing this, Lin Yi felt extrely wronged.
He really wasn’t dawdling; he had been hastening their journey as fast as possible!
In any case, by the ti the two of them returned to the Imperial Palace, the sky was already darkening, turning to night.
However, when the young Emperor saw the two of them, his brows imdiately furrowed.
Especially when he looked at Ying Yi, his brows were tightly knit.
This made Ying Yi subconsciously lower her head.
“I told you to handle official matters, yet you focus on these matters all day, vexing , don’t think I can’t handle you.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi chuckled and then stepped forward to gently massage the Emperor’s shoulders.
“Your Majesty, you are accusing your servant wrongly. I have not delayed the official matters assigned to .
By the way, now 3000 n have already arrived in the Capital City, and this ti your servant has also brought a large number of Hand Grenades and 100 Firearms.”
Indeed, as soon as Lin Yi said this, the young Emperor’s mood was instantly recovered.
His eyes focused on Lin Yi’s face, full of astonishnt, he asked:
“In just a few days, you’ve made 100 Firearms?
It seems the efficiency is quite high.
Haha, at this rate, it won’t take long before my troops could be equipped with such Firearms.”
Just as the young Emperor was delighted, Lin Yi imdiately threw cold water on him, causing him to cool down in an instant.
“Your Majesty, don’t rejoice too soon. Although the Firearms have been successfully made, the matching ammunition for these Firearms is not easy to manage.”
Seeing that there was nothing left to discuss, Ying Yi consciously returned to the rafters above.
While the young Emperor and Lin Yi were also beginning to plan so matters below.
Until deep into the night, the two of them finally moved and left the desk.
On that desk, many papers had by now been covered in writings and drawings.
These papers were all filled with calculations about what the opponent would possibly do, and how they themselves should respond.
“As you said, tomorrow, I will summon their Envoy.
However, I fear these envoys harbor ill intentions and will create complications for us.”
Regarding the young Emperor’s concerns, Lin Yi was very dismissive:
“Your Majesty, rest assured, in today’s Capital City, there is no one who dares to do anything against Your Majesty.
After all, we are currently commanding tens of thousands of troops.
Moreover, the officials within the court are not united in purpose.
Right now, what Your Majesty needs to do most is to bring those ministers who have not yet fully taken sides under your command.
This will also help in suppressing those disloyal subjects.”
Listening to Lin Yi’s words, the young Emperor nodded:
“Forget it, let’s talk about this matter tomorrow morning, I am sowhat tired today, attend to while I rest.”
This night was destined to be sleepless, and Lin Yi was destined to be restless.
In any case, while Lin Yi was busy on his end, in the barbarian camp outside the city, there was a tent brightly lit at this mont.
Inside this tent, several people were drinking.
If the young Emperor were here, he would imdiately recognize the individual sitting at the bottom right — his own Sixth Imperial Uncle.
After the Sixth Prince had expressed his desire for a eting, the barbarians finally agreed to et him today.
His purpose for coming was also very clear, which was to gather a group of allies.
Given the current unclear situation, if he did not struggle now, his own safety might even be at risk.
Under such circumstances, finding allies could not be more crucial.
However, what troubled him was,
Even though nearly an hour had passed since the banquet started,
These barbarians were not as carefree as he had expected,
But rather cautious.
This was beyond his expectations, he never thought these barbarians would be so cunning.
This was completely unlike the impression he had of barbarians.
In any case, even though he had implicitly shown his intentions, the other side still did not give a clear answer.
They continued to drink, beating around the bush, basically refusing to engage in his proposition.
Until midnight, the Sixth Prince staggeringly led his n and left the camp.
But just when the carriage was one mile out, the Sixth Prince, who had been drowsy and swaying, suddenly turned stone-faced, his mind completely clear, no trace of drunkenness at all.
“This Prince has already shown enough sincerity, but you continue to beat around the bush, could it be that the Fourth has already made the first move?”
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, the Sixth Prince couldn’t help but murmur.
Thinking about it, such a possibility indeed existed, if this Fourth and the barbarians had really colluded, then his own side might really stand no chance.
After all, the Guardian King of Yun Pass is now the Fourth’s own brother; if these two joined hands, what chance would he stand?
anwhile, back inside the barbarian’s grand tent at this mont.
After the Sixth Prince had left, a figure quietly walked out.
…End of Chapter…
