The Zhenwu Army of Nanhuang County plus the private army of Nanhuang Prince's Mansion only numbered more than 40,000.
The local army is originally more strictly controlled the closer it is to Jiankang, but no matter how it is controlled, there is always a huge difference between the elite local army and the border army.
This difference lies not only in the practitioners' rations, not only in the weapons, but also in the combat experience.
Some of the elite troops of the border army have to fight several times a year at least, especially since the war with the Northern Wei Dynasty in the past two years. These border troops are either fighting or on the march.
The ordinary sergeants in the frontier army all have experience in dealing with practitioners. In this way, when they face powerful practitioners who are rapidly harvesting lives, in addition to fear, they can at least use the weapons in their hands to carry out an effective counterattack.
It's just that the local Zhenwu Army rarely suffered large-scale casualties and had little such experience.
For Lin Yi, the elite frontier troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty even used weapons such as the Kunpeng Heavy Armor, but they still couldn't kill him on the pontoon outside Zhongli City. What did the 40,000 Zhenwu Army mean?
.
"There are always people who don't believe in evil, and there are always people who are lucky."
Seeing the smoke and dust flying everywhere, Lin Yi shook his head sarcastically.
He knew that the people in the palace should not be able to guess his identity at first, but now that the poisonous head is sent in, no matter how stupid the people in the palace are, they should have guessed who he is.
It's just that the Battle of Zhongli was fought by an outsider. It seems that no matter how brave he is and how he can fight tirelessly, for the high-ranking dignitaries of the Southern Dynasty, there is no profound lesson or pain.
When a whip hits someone else, it hurts when you see their blood dripping with blood, but in the end you can't feel the pain. Only when it hits your own body does it really hurt and leave a deep impression.
Originally, Lin Yi wanted to come, especially for someone like King Nanhuang who was not stupid. Since he knew that he was invincible, and he knew that he already had Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, and his own foundation was in the southwest,
It stands to reason that even if King Nanhuang does not show favor to him in order to clear up the past grudges, he should still be cautious and never provoke him.
But when he was in Chaotian Palace, looking at the practitioners and generals coming from all walks of life, he understood that most of the powerful people in the world, like princes from all walks of life, had probably never suffered or learned a lesson.
So that's what he meant when he told Master Feng Duoyushun in Chaotian Palace that he wanted to demonstrate for the world to see.
These people often feel that some masters of the Divine Mind Realm, plus some sword masters of the Chengtian Realm, may be able to contain him. They also feel that if there is an army of tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand, they can also defeat him alive.
He will die, but he will prove that these people's ideas are too stupid.
He has never been a person who hesitates in doing things. If he wants to do something, he will leave no room for it.
He had such a temperament when he was studying at Qiyun College.
If you want to beat someone, you have to beat them down.
If he is not subdued, I don’t know how many such Xiaoxiao will dare to jump out and do something to him in the future.
The truth cannot be explained clearly, it must be understood.
Otherwise, he owns Jiange, allied forces with Xia Baying, and has Dangxiang and Tuyuhun. If he really establishes a country and rebels, his power will even be on par with the Northern Wei Dynasty, but here, Prince Yimi dares to attack him.
, this simple truth cannot be understood not only by this prince, but also by the dignitaries of the Southern Dynasties who have not learned a lesson.
"Here, can someone help me hang these heads? It's best to rinse them with water to avoid being contaminated with poisonous blood.
.”
He looked at the people watching, nodded at the pile of heads in his front pocket, and said lightly, "Whoever hangs these heads up here for me, I'll give you a handful of pearls."
Hearing his first words, even the border residents and hunters in the market who were not afraid of trouble felt a little ridiculous. Who would come to hang his head for him after they had enough food? But after hearing his next words
, the whole market was suddenly in an uproar, and countless people were moved.
A handful of pearls is like a carp turning into a dragon. No matter how poor you are, if you get a handful of pearls, you will instantly become a rich family.
"I'll do it!"
Before most people had come back to their senses, a hunter had already emerged from the crowd and walked quickly in front of Lin Yi.
Seeing that someone had already taken the lead, the market was once again in an uproar, with countless people sighing and heartbroken.
"Borrow a bucket."
This hunter must have hunted a lot of wild beasts in the mountains, and his expression looked normal when he saw the bloody scene. He directly picked up a bucket and a water ladle from the door of a nearby shop.
The merchant looked a little confused, but before the merchant could say anything, the hunter glared and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I will collect the pearls later and give you one."
"Clatter, crash, crash" was the sound of water everywhere.
The hunter scooped up water to rinse the human heads. He rinsed the heads out of the bag cleanly. Then he looked around and saw that the empty space happened to be the shelf where many hunters had hung the animal meat.
Hang the heads on that shelf.
"ah…"
Countless frightened voices sounded.
Although many border residents in this market are usually rough and not afraid of trouble, when their heads are piled one by one in the bag, they are nothing, but they are all hung up like wind chimes, and even if they are washed clean, they are all
The eyes of the dead fish were wide open, and it looked extremely terrifying in their eyes.
Many people move backward unconsciously.
"That's not..."
Someone braved it and looked carefully, only to find that there was a very familiar head among them. It was actually a practitioner who often walked around in the palace.
“Well done.”
Lin Yi smiled, grabbed a handful of pearls and gave them to the hunter.
His eyes swept across the onlookers in the market at the same time. All of these onlookers were chilled and receded like the tide.
"Don't be afraid. If you don't buy your head, I can't do business with you."
Lin Yi shook the bag with pearls in his hand and said: "But I can also give you a chance to earn these pearls. From now on, you help me keep an eye on the Nanhuang Palace. If someone comes out, you can block it for me.
If you can directly hold down the person coming out of the palace, you will be rewarded with fifty pearls. If you look at the appearance, you will definitely not be able to beat him. As long as you remember the person's appearance and tell him where to escape, you will also be rewarded with thirty pearls. Anyone else who can contribute will be rewarded.
There is a reward."
"What!"
Everyone in the market was in an uproar when they heard his words.
"Look, Yu Qi!"
At this moment, someone suddenly discovered that someone had come out of the palace, and there was a sudden clamor.
"Don't touch me, I'm just out to do business!"
Yu Qi was invited by the practitioners around the distinguished guests to come out to inquire about the price. As soon as he left the door, he heard Lin Yi talking. Looking at the people around him who seemed to be like beasts with glowing eyes, he immediately screamed in horror.
Come.
"Then he doesn't count, let him come over. Don't worry, wait until I finish the business
, I will not take away all the money I gain from this business, I will scatter it all here and give it to those who work for me." Lin Yi smiled slightly and motioned for Yu Qi to come over.
To everyone here, he is a real stranger, and now he is obviously an enemy of the palace, but invisibly, all the people seem to have become his followers and obey his words.
.
As soon as his voice sounded, the crowd naturally parted a way like a tide, allowing Yu Qi to come over.
Yu Qi was not very courageous at first, but now his legs kept shaking and he was swaying when he walked. He did not dare to look directly at Lin Yi and asked from a distance: "How much money does that living person you mentioned earlier... cost?"
"It's not much, just a car full of gold." Lin Yi smiled.
boom!
The whole market was like a hot spring gushing out instantly, and there was a buzz of people.
Everyone is passionate.
After all, this guy just said that he would not take away all the money he gained from his business, which meant that even if a cart of gold really came, he would disperse the gold here.
"Can I see the goods?" Yu Qi was almost frightened to the point of incontinence, especially when he felt that the hanging heads were looking at him with faint eyes, as if blaming him for not buying their heads just now, but after all, he
I was used to doing business with those vegetable farmers and tenant farmers without losing money, so I subconsciously said this.
"oh?"
Lin Yi was a little surprised. Looking at Yu Qi, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know that you are a useful talent, but since ancient times, in business, you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. You go back and push a cart of gold
Come out and let me see the goods, and I will also let you see the people. I might as well tell you that I am a very precious living person. I am a little prince, and I am definitely worth a car of gold."
“…”
Almost everyone in the market was speechless. They only felt that this was not an obvious way to tell each other that the living person in the hands of this young man was the young prince named Xiao Jue, the young prince of Nanhuang King.
"good."
With the previous experience, Yu Qi didn't waste any time and quickly turned around and fled back to the palace.
"Your Highness, how should we deal with this?"
Someone had already reported the situation outside, and everyone in the garden looked extremely ugly. They just felt that Lin Yi's plan was too vicious, almost inciting people to rebel. The living person in his hands now should be Xiao Jue. There is no doubt that the person in the palace
Even if he wins a cart of gold, he can get it out, but if he does push a cart of gold out as he said, wouldn't it actually help him get more bounty money?
"Why don't we push a cart of gold out and let the border people outside capture him?" a guard in the palace said softly.
"useless."
Xu Moyuan shook his head and said: "This person is cunning. As long as he feels that the situation is not good, he will directly snatch the gold and no one can stop him. In this way, he will not be able to get the young prince back."
"It seems that we can only change it back to Xiao Jue first."
Prince Xiao Tong sighed softly, "I don't know how much Xiao Jue suffered at the hands of this person."
He now has a vague feeling that Lin Yi acts without scruples. If the government does not change people according to his request, I am afraid that he may torture Xiao Jue in the next trouble. If this happens, it will be even more out of control.
"That's all."
Ren Qingkuang nodded. His intuition was that he could only wait until the Zhenwu Army arrived and surrounded the market. While nodding, he felt that every step of the way seemed to be in the opponent's calculations. His group of people,
