Li Yi, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but stiffen his smile after hearing Margaret's seemingly joking words. Li Yi thought to himself, could this Margaret still know the grudge between him and King Tianlan? It shouldn't be that other people should not know about this matter. What means did this Margaret use to find out the news?
However, although she was curious, Li Yi did not answer Margaret. Instead, she asked back lightly: "I wonder what Mrs. Loul was talking about. Does Lady Loul know why Li Yi left the Tianlan Empire?"
When Margaret heard Li Yi's retort, he couldn't help but laugh. Although this woman was over forty years old, seeing her act like a little woman did not make people feel disgusted. After laughing, Margaret spoke, "General Li Yi is really a noble person, so I forgot about it. When you seriously injured my Wu'an Kingdom envoy in the palace of the Tianlan Empire, didn't King Tianlan punish you for ten years' salary? I think General Li should have left the Tianlan Empire because he couldn't get money in the Tianlan Empire."
After listening to Margaret's explanation, Li Yi felt a secret relief. After Margaret's reminder, Li Yi remembered that in the palace of the Tianlan Empire, he seriously injured an ugly brother because of Alice. In order to protect Li Yi, King Tianlan only fined Li Yi for ten years. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Margaret could still remember this trivial matter.
However, after thinking through what Margaret said, Li Yi also shook his head with a smile, and then spoke to Margaret: "Haha, Mrs. Lor was joking. How could I leave the Tianlan Empire because of this naive reason? There are other reasons why I left there. Now I am just working as a mercenary business, just to make a living."
"Oh, that's it." Seeing that Li Yi seemed unwilling to mention why he left the Tianlan Empire, Margaret was also tactful and did not continue to ask.
"By the way, Mrs. Luoer, when I was listening to your conversation, I heard that you now seem to be affiliated with a force called the Wu'an Legion. What is the connection between this Wu'an Legion and the Wu'an Kingdom at that time?" Without wanting to continue to get entangled in this question, Li Yi immediately pulled the topic away and asked about something he was very interested in.
Hearing Li Yi's question, Margaret did not cover up, but said generously to Li Yi: "The current Wu'an Legion has a lot to do with the Wu'an Kingdom. The Sai Empire brazenly sent troops to forcefully break through the defense lines of our small countries and attacked the Tianlan Empire. Because in the eyes of the Sai Empire, our effect was completely mentioned, so after the Wu'an Kingdom was captured, the Sai army did not make things difficult for us too much. After entering the city to cultivate for a night,
He conquered the Tianlan Empire again. Later, the Sai Empire was defeated, and the Tianlan Empire fought over our Wu'an Kingdom, and still regarded our Wu'an Kingdom as a transit station. Under the baptism of this war, the Wu'an Kingdom became more and more turbulent. Until the end, the king felt that sooner or later he would be buried there due to the war between the great powers. Therefore, the king led a few people to secretly come to the southern border of Sai." Margaret gave Li Yi no hidden history at all.
After hearing Margaret's story, Li Yi nodded sympathetically. After all, living in the gaps between big countries, it is really difficult for these small countries to have room for survival. The King of Wu'an Kingdom is a hero who can give up his territory.
But when Wu'anguo was facing the attack of the Sai Empire, at the last moment, Li Yi rationally led his subordinates to evacuate from the capital of Wu'anguo. Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but say to Margaret embarrassedly: "Haha, when the Sai Empire attacked Wu'anguo, I took people to evacuate from the capital of Wu'anguo at the last moment. Mrs. Lol would not hold a grudge."
Hearing Li Yi say this, Margaret just smiled generously and said lightly: "What's the point of blaming you? After all, I could see that it was too difficult for us, Wu'an Kingdom to preserve it intact in the face of the Sai Empire and the assistance of two other small countries. It is reasonable for General Li to take people away."
Seeing that Margaret didn't seem to be insincere, Li Yi finally felt relieved. In fact, Li Yi has always been resentful of the battle in Wu'an Guodu. After all, it was the first time in Li Yi's life to escape. In Li Yi's dictionary, escaping has always been a symbol of shame. Now that he has no intention of blaming himself for the person involved, Li Yi's dissatisfaction has finally decreased a lot.
Looking at Margaret with a smile, Li Yi said, "Haha, Mrs. Luoer should not always call me General Li. I am no longer the leader of the Tianlan Empire. I am just a leader of a mercenary group that only controls more than 300 people. If Mrs. Luoer doesn't mind, she can just call me Li Yi."
"Oh, Li Yi, haha, in fact, everything you call you is the same. But I am a little nostalgic, and I still think it's easier to call you General Li." Margaret said with a smile when she heard Li Yi's reminder.
"By the way, Mrs. Lor, then when you King Wu'an Kingdom led his people to this southern border, war broke out here? How did you Wu'an Kingdom find a place to gain a foothold in this chaotic southern border?" Li Yi was quite interested in Wu'an Kingdom's experience.
Seeing that Li Yi was so interested in this matter, Margaret did not hide anything and said generously: "When I first came to the Sai Empire, it was when the Tianlan Empire gathered troops on the border and prepared to attack the Senna Royal City. We also took advantage of the chaos and fled here. In the first few years, we occupied a small mountain range and then remained self-sufficient in that mountain range. Occasionally we would go down the mountain to rob passing caravans or troops. Until an uprising broke out in the southern border of Sai, we also felt that this was an opportunity for our Wu'an Kingdom to seek development in the troubled times. So we simply led our army to fight from the mountain. As a result, after so many years of development, we now have a considerable territory in the Jingchuan Province. Compared with the Wu'an Kingdom, it is no worse."
Listening to Margaret's story with a smile, Li Yi really felt ridiculous. Unexpectedly, the dignified king of a country led his people to a foreign country and became a bandit. After his career as a bandit, he found an opportunity for development in the war. Now, after working hard, he has created a foundation in another place that is no less than that of the past. Thinking about these things in his heart, Li Yi really wanted to know the king of Wu'an Kingdom at this time.
"Haha, the king of your country is truly worthy of being the king of a country. Being able to do this proves that he does have some ability." Although Li Yi praised the king of Wu'an Kingdom in his heart, the evaluation Li Yi gave when he was speaking was only "having some ability."
When Margaret heard Li Yi's comment, although he felt something was wrong. However, thinking of Li Yi's terrifying strength, Margaret understood that Li Yi did not seem to be arrogant when he said this.
If you don’t comment on this matter, after talking to Li Yi, Margaret’s spirit and physical strength finally recovered. She smiled and thanked Li Yi again. Margaret said, “Li Yi, thank you so much for your friends this time. If you hadn’t come in time, I’m afraid our army would have been wiped out under the offensive of the Rhone Legion. Alas, it’s all my fault that I underestimated the enemy before. I didn’t expect that the Rhone Legion would dare to set up an ambush here. After returning, I have to remind the monarch.”
Listening to Margaret's gratitude and as if she was talking to herself, Li Yi smiled slightly and said, "Madam Loll, don't you mind introducing me to the situation in Jingchuan Province. I came here with my own team this time just to make a living here. If I could know the distribution of the power here, it would be of great help to our mercenary group to take on tasks, wouldn't it?"
"Are you going to develop here?" Hearing Li Yi's question, Margaret realized a problem at this time. Li Yi would appear in Jingchuan Province this time, and he actually wanted to develop his own business in this chaotic territory. Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Margaret thought to himself: "I really don't know whether he is a hero or a fool."
However, Li Yi didn't know what Margaret was thinking at this time. Seeing Margaret's surprise after hearing her words, Li Yi couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong, Mrs. Lol, is there anything wrong with me in development here? Although a friend had told me before coming here that the situation here was a bit confusing, she did not explain the specific situation to me, so I can only ask you."
Looking at Li Yi's confused look, Margaret finally put away the surprise in her heart, and then smiled and said to Li Yi: "Haha, okay, since you have asked sincerely, I will tell you with mercy (Well, Mrs. Lol is from the Rockets). But the situation here is really complicated, so let's talk while walking. General Li, don't you mind going to our Wu'an City to talk."
When Li Yi heard Margaret's invitation, he smiled first, and then said to Margaret: "Haha, okay, but I have to wait for me to tell my friends and subordinates first. After all, they are really important to me." After that, Li Yi turned around and left, and walked to Yadi and others who had already gathered together.
When he walked to Yad, Yad immediately went forward and asked in a very gossip: "Hey, Li Yi, you guys, how can you keep your romantic debts everywhere? Just in this unfamiliar place, you can meet your old lover. Not bad, this big sister really looks a bit flavorful."
Seeing Yadian's shameless look, Li Yi could only clench his fists angrily and said with gritted teeth: "YD, if you feel that the battle just now is not satisfying enough, I don't mind playing with you for a while."
Looking at Li Yi's tightly clenched iron fist, Yad was also tactful and stopped joking. He said to Li Yi with a pity, "Hehe, why did you get angry when you say it? You are so stingy. I know, she is not your old lover, so you don't have to be so nervous. What's wrong with you coming here? It's not that woman invited us to gather everywhere."
Unexpectedly, Yadie guessed Li Yi's intention to come back with just random guesses. Seeing that Yadie had guessed her purpose, Li Yi also said with a smile: "Haha, it's really what you said. This woman is called Margaret. She was an acquaintance I met when she was in the Tianlan Empire. Now they are also developing in Jingchuan Province. We helped her solve such a big problem, so she wanted to invite us to sit in their city."
"There is no danger, are you sure this person is really trustworthy?" Lincoln asked very cautiously about Li Yi's words.
Faced with Lincoln's cautiousness, Li Yi could only shake his head helplessly, and then smiled and said, "Well, although I can't guarantee whether she is really trustworthy. But I know her character well, and she is the kind of person who knows how to behave very well. The strength we showed before was enough to make her taboo. I don't think she would be stupid and frame you and me for no reason. So don't worry, we can go to their place and take the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the Jingchuan Province. In this case, it's better than running around in the Jingchuan Province without any clues."
Listening to Li Yi's words, Lincoln finally stopped hesitating. After nodding, he said to Li Yi lightly: "There is no way, this kind of caution is almost innate, so he just had some doubts about her before."
"I understand, it's okay." Li Yi just waved his hand and said lightly when it came to Lincoln's words.
Seeing that his affairs had been explained, Li Yi was about to turn around and look for Margaret. But just as he was about to leave, Yad called Li Yi again.
After standing still, Li Yi looked at Yadi in confusion, and then asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
After calling Li Yi, Yad just pointed his finger aside and said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, I think you have forgotten one thing. You were so powerful before, and you killed a commander with one hand. But these subordinates are now surrendering, whether to kill or stay, you can make a decision."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but turn his eyes to the direction pointed by Yadian's finger. After seeing that in addition to his 300 people, there were five or six hundred soldiers from the Rhonna Legion, Li Yi couldn't help but have a headache. After all, Li Yi didn't have much experience in dealing with prisoners of war. When he was in the Central Army, he was only responsible for fighting, and as for the matter after the battle, he didn't care at all.
So now looking at hundreds of prisoners, Li Yi could only stare at them in a daze with a headache.
However, just when Li Yi was struggling, Margaret in the distance slowly walked to Li Yi's side. After seeing Li Yi's frowning, Margaret asked worriedly: "What's wrong, Li Yi, is there something that cannot be solved? Is it because your people are worried about following me?"
Hearing Margaret's voice, Li Yi seemed to have found a savior. He slapped his thigh hard, and Li Yi said in his heart: "I'm so stupid. I'm helping her fight this time, so of course she has to make a decision to deal with the prisoners of war. What should I worry about?"
