Chapter 318 The Little Nun 46
"General, please save the people in the city! Those mutineers are cruel and ruthless; the city is now a living hell!"
As Lingyi gazed at the city wall and prayed for His Majesty, treacherous officials rushed out and disturbed her piety.
Ling Yi lowered her eyes to look at the "commoners" dressed in fine silks and satins, and was shocked: "What? How could such a heinous thing happen?"
"Don't be in a hurry, old man, tell me the story in detail!"
The old man, who had been escorted out by his men, nearly choked on his breath upon hearing this.
The situation in the city is extremely urgent, and you want me to explain in detail?
Saving lives is as urgent as putting out a fire, don't you understand?
"General, General, please hurry!" He stamped his feet in frustration, wishing he could point at this scoundrel and curse him, but he dared not.
Now, the only ones who can save their colleagues in the city are these illiterate peasants.
Seeing that Ling Yi remained unhurried, the old man pinched his nose and said, "General, hurry into the city! If we are rescued, we will be richly rewarded!"
Ling Yi laughed: "Look at what you're saying, do I look like someone who would take advantage of a favor?"
Once you're all dead, won't all that property be mine?
The old man felt a sudden chill in his heart under Ling Yi's melancholy gaze.
He seemed to understand something; these soldiers had driven the chaotic troops here, perhaps to kill them.
Now, he dared not linger in front of Ling Yi any longer, fearing that this soldier would chop off his head. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "In that case, please allow this old man to return to the city for the time being to rescue my wife and children!"
Ling Yi was shocked: "With such chaos in the city, how could you, an old man, enter the city alone? If anything were to happen to you, wouldn't I feel guilty to death?"
"Someone, please escort the old man down!"
A group of fierce soldiers jumped out instantly, surrounded the old man and his men, and took them to the rear.
The old man cursed inwardly, wishing he could tear Ling Yi apart with his bare hands, but in action he was unusually honest and obediently let the soldiers take him away.
"Don't worry, sir, I'll go to your rescue right away!"
That's terrible, Young Master Tao!
That Second Young Master Tao is so hateful!
She, a loyal subject of the imperial court, has come to the rescue!
Your Majesty had better prepare a secret edict for the succession!
With a whistle, Ling Yi rode into the city.
The moment Tao Er's men at the city gate saw her, they immediately turned their horses around and went to report to the general.
The evil spirit has arrived; today's hunt is temporarily over.
General, the wind is getting strong, let's get out of here!
When the sentries arrived, Tao Er was searching the entire palace for the emperor.
The emperor's father-in-law's family was gone, the empress was gone, and the emperor's maternal uncle's family and the few remaining uncles were all dealt with by him, but the young emperor was like a scorpion that had crawled into the sand, and he could not find him no matter how hard he tried!
If you fail to complete the task assigned by the Demon King, you'll lose your head!
Sweating profusely, Tao Er listened to the soldiers' report, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
They're useless now, and if they don't leave soon they'll be surrounded and killed!
Escape now and you might still survive, but waiting here means certain death!
Do I need to tell him how to choose?
So, when Ling Yi leisurely entered the city, sent people to appease the "people," and ordered the expulsion of the rebels, the rebels fled out of the back city gate like lambs bleating.
Tao Er changed his warhorse twice and ran for two days and two nights before finally reaching the retreat route he had prepared.
He left more than a dozen ships here, which will surely be able to...
"Where's my ship!" he shouted, standing in front of the only remaining ship. "Which bastard took my ship?!"
Ling Yi, who was far away in the palace, smiled slightly. It wasn't right to take such an important resource as a sea ship with you when you were about to leave this continent.
That's life. We come into this world naked and we leave naked. Leaving you a boat is an act of kindness on my part.
Tao Er jumped up and down for a while before finally getting an answer from the guards who remained behind.
"Then...then the soldier said that the general can take one ship's worth of people with him, and the rest can surrender to the Yan army if they wish!"
Tao Er's vision went black, and he cursed Ling Yi's non-existent ancestral grave for a long time before turning around.
Behind him was a group of defeated soldiers.
Tao Er could even sense the wavering and joy in those people's eyes at that moment.
Indeed, they are all men with families and children. Except for a very few, who would be willing to go to sea with him and live a life of uncertainty?
He sighed, "Those who are willing to come with me, step forward; the rest may go and join the rebel army."
At this point, he gritted his teeth again.
When did the Prince of Yan come to be? How come he doesn't know?
Before long, the people at the port split into two groups, one with more than a thousand people and the other with less than a hundred.
Tao Er looked around at the hundred people and gave a bitter smile: "Now that things have come to this, only you all are here with me!"
These were all his loyal ministers and generals!
"Very well, you'll all know in the future that following me will never be a mistake!"
On this continent where he could easily defeat the surrounding countries, he could maneuver freely and wreak havoc everywhere.
Even when he got to those small islands, he wasn't a local tyrant!
Whether you're an emperor on a small island or on the mainland, there's not much difference...right?
Tao Er boarded the ship, which was equipped with fresh water and food, with his trusted confidants. He watched as the people on the shore grew further and further away from him.
Following the nautical chart, he sailed for a day and a night and finally arrived at the place where his father had once hidden his treasure.
There are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver here, which will be his future...
Tao Er's reverie came to an abrupt end as he gazed at the huge black shadow that suddenly appeared on the sea and the firelight on the island.
"Young Master Tao, it's been a long time!" A rough voice came from afar through a tin can.
Tao Er felt a chill in his heart and said in despair, "She never intended to let me go."
He was so stupid as to become a tool in her hands, eliminating so many people for her.
They even voluntarily disarmed themselves, leaving only such a small number of personal guards.
Now he is truly like meat on a chopping board, with no room for resistance.
"General Ling said, even in death you will die knowing why!" After saying this, the burly man began to read out his crimes in a loud voice.
From abducting women to plundering villages, and then to selling official positions and annexing land during his time as an official, each and every one of these things, spoken by the enemy, gave Tao Er the feeling that his father's army had long been infiltrated by these people.
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "Who hasn't done something like this before?"
"I don't believe it! I don't believe Ling Yi didn't do it!"
"We're all the same kind of people, what right does she have to judge me?"
"Shut up!" The man picked at his ear and waved his hand.
In an instant, the oil-coated rockets shot towards the distant ship.
A raging fire broke out on the deck, and Tao Er screamed hoarsely, "Ling Yi ruined me! Ling Yi ruined me!"
"Ah!"
In the darkness of the night, Ling Yi, draped in a cloak, sneezed and touched her slightly burning ears.
Who's talking about her so late at night?
Thinking about her actions of opening the granary to distribute food and providing free medical consultations and clothing over the past two days, Ling Yi felt that it was normal for people to talk about her because she was so kind.
Who wouldn't want to pay homage to a female bodhisattva?
