Taishi Yulang, who was in charge of the Lin Mansion, first invited the angry Zhao Wei into the living room. Taishi Yulang asked Zhao Wei to wait for a moment, and he hurried to report to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was shocked when he learned that the Western Region Army had broken through the border. He had hoped that Feng Liancheng and Shangguan Minghong could join forces to defend the border and fight the enemy for a long time, but the border was still breached.
What he worried about finally happened.
Lin Yi's heart suddenly became heavy, and he quickly walked into the living room.
When Zhao Li saw resentment rising on Lin Yi's face, he mocked: "Brother Lin, you defeated Beifu and won the final victory. Now that you have become famous, you have become the Taiping Master again. Your life is really nourishing!"
As soon as Lin Yi heard Zhao Wei's words, he knew that Feng Liancheng was in charge of his movements.
Now that the situation is serious, Lin Yi is not in the mood to fight back with Zhao Wei's sarcasm.
Lin Yi said: "Brother Zhao, what's going on?! Aren't tens of thousands of new troops arriving at the border one after another..."
Zhao Li said: "We have arrived. If we didn't arrive, we would have been unable to defend it. Although tens of thousands of new troops were reinforced, we were still outnumbered. We have suffered heavy casualties in the fierce battle with the Western Region army. At midnight the night before, the Western Region
The army launched a fierce attack from two directions. The enemy Marshal Ju Rong led an army of 180,000 to break through General Feng's defense line. The enemy general Ba Zang and Ling Wang Li Chao led a force of 160,000 people to break through General Shangguan's defense line. After a bitter battle in the middle of the night, our army could not
The enemy has only retreated a few dozen miles. Now General Feng is leading 30,000 people to retreat to Yelu City. General Shangguan is leading 10,000 people to retreat to Fengxiang. The situation is really dangerous!"
Lin Yi was shocked when he heard this.
The enemy army is about to reach Fengxiang City.
The situation is more serious than he imagined!
Fortunately, Beifu was destroyed a month ago. Otherwise, if Qin Dingfang cooperated with others at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lin Yi also understood Feng Liancheng's intention in sending Zhao Wei here.
Lin Yi was deliberately ignorant and said: "Brother Zhao, if there is an emergency at the border, you should report it to the court. What do you mean by coming to me to complain?"
Now that Lin Yi is no longer the King of the Southern Territory, and Zhao Li is depressed after losing the border war, he is not so polite to Lin Yi now.
"Someone flew to report to the court! General Feng ordered me to report to you personally! It was you who caused this great disaster! Back then, you promised General Feng that if the enemy invaded the territory, you would risk your life and property.
He will fight the enemy to the end. Mr. Lin, now is the time for you to risk your fortune and your life."
Lin Yi said: "What did General Feng want me to do?"
Zhao Li said: "General Feng is guarding Yelu now. General Shangguan is guarding Fengxiang. General Feng asked you to help General Shangguan guard Fengxiang. If you have any specific questions, you can ask General Shangguan."
Lin Yi stared at Zhao Li, his sharp gaze making Zhao Li a little uneasy.
Zhao Li's arrogance suddenly became much smaller.
Lin Yi had a resolute look on his face and said loudly: "Go back and tell General Feng that what I, Lin Yi, said is true. Although I am not the king of the South now and I don't have thousands of masters under my command. But to defend the country from enemies, I will not hesitate to take my whole family with me."
Let’s go into battle!”
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he said to Taishi Yulang who was standing next to him: "Taishi Butler, see the guests off!"
Taishi Yulang had long disliked Zhao Li, so he stretched out his hand and said: "Please!"
So Zhao Li was "invited" by Lin Yi before his butt was still hot from sitting.
Zhao Li was very angry. After he left the house, he sneered secretly and said in his heart: "Lin Yi, your death is not far away!"
…
After Zhao Li left, Lin Yi paced back and forth in the living room alone.
This sudden change completely disrupted Lin Yi's plan.
Lin Yi originally planned to leave for Kunlun with Zuo Chaoyang in a few days. Because the Blood Demon escaped to Kunlun and hid there, Lin Yi speculated that the original "Blood Demon Book" should be in Kunlun. Maybe it was in the cold cave where the Blood Demon lived.
.The "Blood Demon Book" is the work of the Blood Demon. The place where it is hidden should be near him.
After finding the original Blood Demon Book, there is hope to save Zuo Chaoyang.
After saving Zuo Chaoyang, he then pursued Qin Dingfang with all his strength.
But now, the national crisis is looming.
The most urgent task is to help Shangguan Minghong defend against the enemy.
After Lin Yi thought about it, he called Zuo Chaoyang and Zeng Tengyun. Lin Yi told them the news that the Western Region army had broken through the border and was now attacking Fengxiang Yelu.
The situation was extremely serious, and the country was in danger of overthrowing. When Zuo and Zeng heard this, their expressions changed with shock.
Zuo Chaoyang said with a solemn expression: "I really didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this..."
Zeng Tengyun said: "Brother Lin, what do you think we should do now?!"
Lin Yi said: "Feng Liancheng asked me to help Shangguan Minghong. I decided to help Shangguan Minghong defend Fengxiang even if I risk my life."
Zeng Tengyun slapped his thigh and stood up in a hurry: "Then let's do it like this! We used to fight for our grievances, but now we fight for the country and the people! Damn it, so what if we are wrapped in horse leather!"
Zuo Chaoyang also said: "Brother, we are a family now. You are the head of the family, and I will listen to you no matter what you say. As Brother Zeng said, dying in battle for the country is also a great pleasure in life."
Lin Yi first said to Zeng Tengyun: "Brother Zeng, go and inform your family and ask them to pack their things. We will set off tomorrow."
After Zeng Tengyun left, Lin Yi said to Zuo Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, the original matter of going to Kunlun to find the Blood Demon Book can only be done first. I'm really worried that procrastination will delay you. But now..."
Zuo Chaoyang said: "Brother, you have told me more than once that big things are not as big as national affairs. Not to mention delaying it, even if it is dead, my little brother's life will not count at all."
Zuo Chaoyang now hopes that he can die on the battlefield and die in a heroic manner.
This will save you from being tortured beyond recognition by the Blood Demon Book and making your loved ones miserable.
After everyone in the mansion was packed up, Lin Yi led everyone in a hurry towards Fengxiang the next day.
The closer we get to Fengxiang, the more tense the atmosphere becomes.
On the road, we constantly encountered wounded troops who had withdrawn, and soldiers who were galloping toward Fengxiang for reinforcements.
Frightened and fleeing people were all over the roads and fields.
Countless people supported the old and hugged the young, and their lamentations filled the field, creating a miserable scene.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yi felt as heavy as a heavy stone.
Zuo Chaoyang and the others were also depressed.
In the evening of the same day, Lin Yi and the others arrived at Fengxiang.
The gates of Fengxiang City are now tightly closed and heavily guarded. The city is full of soldiers and generals who are waiting in full formation.
Lin Yi and the others were stopped a few feet away from the city gate by the soldiers on the city. The crossbowmen on the city also aimed their arrows at several people.
Lin Yi revealed his identity, and soon a general appeared at the top of the city. It was Tian Ying, the general of Shangguan Minghong's family.
Tian Ying was very cautious. He asked Lin Yi a few questions and confirmed that it was Lin Yi himself. Tian Ying ordered people to lower the suspension bridge.
Lin Yi and others rode into the city.
Tian Ying also went down to the city to lead Lin Yi and others to the general's residence.
Wherever I passed, there were people everywhere on both sides of the streets. They were sitting, lying or standing, and some had built simple shacks to live in. They were almost spread across all the streets in the city. Everyone's face was either frightened or full of sadness. There were all kinds of noises.
The sound was also loud.
Tian Ying told Lin Yi that there were hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Fengxiang domain. Now some people have fled Fengxiang, while others have poured into the city to seek shelter. The city is now overcrowded.
Now the city gates are closed tightly, and no one can be let in to avoid harm.
Those people had no choice but to leave their homes and flee.
Shangguan Minghong now lives in Fengxiang Mansion Yamen.
Tian Ying introduced Lin Yi into the mansion and brought him to a house.
There were several soldiers guarding the house.
Tian Ying asked Lin Yi to go in, and he closed the door gently.
In the room, Shangguan Minghong was looking down at a graph.
Hearing someone coming in, he slowly raised his head.
Shangguan Minghong's eyes were bloodshot and his complexion was gray and tired. He hadn't slept for several days.
He smiled bitterly at Lin Yi and said, "You really shouldn't kill Li Tianlang!"
