Chapter 101 Rebellious Officials of the Former Dynasty 32
If these people felt envious and nauseous at the sight of that wealthy man with several horses from afar, their nausea vanished once the man got closer.
Instead, there was a sense of awe and fear towards elite troops.
Those people were covered in sand and blood, some of their knives were chipped, and their armor was damaged.
Even in such a disheveled state, their formation remained perfectly intact, tightly surrounding a white horse.
After the cattle and sheep were driven away and the wounded were sent into the city, everyone finally saw the true appearance of the general riding a white horse.
She had faint scars on her face, and her arms were wrapped in a white cloth that was not clearly visible, with faint bloodstains showing through it.
Even so, this woman appeared delicate and frail next to the burly Zhang Qiran.
Yet, when this woman glanced at them, it sent chills down the spines of the seasoned warriors.
Those bloodshot eyes seemed to see right through them, scraping over their bones and muscles inch by inch, as if trying to dismember them into pieces.
"Congratulations on General Ling Yi's triumphant return." The moment Xiao Yao saw Ling Yi, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but lift his feet, wanting to run towards her.
But at the last moment, he managed to hold back.
This glory belongs solely to her and should not be shared by anyone else.
Ling Yi's blood-red, icy gaze turned to Xiao Yao, then gradually warmed.
She smiled at Xiao Yao, then took a letter out of her bosom.
This was written to her by Xiao Yao; it contained all the corruption and embezzlement cases that Tianlu An had uncovered.
His deeds are too numerous to record, and his wickedness deserves no regret even in death.
She asked, "Who is Sun Gaoshuo?"
Having not had a proper drink of water in a long time, her voice was still a little hoarse, as if the yellow sand of the desert had seeped into her throat.
Sun Gaoshuo felt somewhat displeased when Ling Yi addressed him by his given name, but dared not show it in the slightest under her imposing presence.
“Your Highness, it is I!” He strode forward and cupped his hands in response.
After Xiao Yao personally addressed Ling Yi as General, his subsequent address of her as Princess Consort was clearly ill-intentioned.
Ling Yi's gaze swept over the others: "Are you sure it's him? Are there any other people with this name?"
Everyone was baffled by her words.
How could there be two officials with the same name in this officialdom? That's not... Ah!
Hot blood splattered onto the faces and official robes of the crowd, and terrified cries rang out.
Ling Yi pointed her long sword diagonally at the ground and chuckled, "As long as you've confirmed you haven't killed the wrong person, move on to the next one."
Who is Gao Xu?
Gao Daren was standing at the very front, and he was sprayed with the most blood.
He felt the salty, fishy taste splattering in his mouth and staggered back two steps, unable to admit it.
"Lord Gao, the Princess is calling you." Behind him, Lu An gently patted his back, speaking as if a grim reaper were calling for his life.
"presumptuous!"
At this moment, the uncrowned king of Tongcheng, the master of the fate of officials of all ranks, jumped up suddenly like a vicious mouse whose tail had been stepped on.
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you commit private torture in public? Do you intend to rebel?"
Ling Yi watched the tall man jumping up and down with amusement, and sighed, "So you're not going to come up?"
"Lu'an, stop pushing me, go and protect your prince."
Looking at the bloodthirsty god with bloodshot eyes, Lu An silently took a step back and returned to Xiao Yao's side.
The moment Gao Xu was released, he staggered and fled into the city.
He has hundreds of servants in his mansion. If things are managed properly, he might be able to hold out the border troops outside and come to his rescue!
Those generals who had been satiated by him, if they didn't want to be killed by this demon, had no choice but to...
His thoughts suddenly snapped, and he looked down, staring blankly at the arrow that had pierced through his chest.
Ling Yi tossed the light bow to the person next to her, clutched the death notice, and continued calling out names.
Then, at the city gate, people cried out and cursed, spilling blood all over the ground.
Amidst the mud, Ling Yi dismounted and walked step by step to the remaining officials, revealing a warm smile: "My lords, there's no need for this. Your crimes do not warrant death, and I will not kill you."
"Lu'an, take him away and await trial."
"Yes!"
After the eyesores were dragged away, Ling Yi glanced at the few hotheads who had been ostracized and said indifferently, "Go back to the border army camp with General Zhang to reorganize military affairs."
"Yes!"
The military officers were only stunned for a moment before their gazes, sharp as a knife, swept over them, and they quickly obeyed and left.
Xiao Yao looked at Ling Yi, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar after not seeing her for several days, with reddened eyes. She raised her hand and grasped Ling Yi's wrist, saying softly, "You've lost weight."
Ling Yi lowered her eyes, her mind unconsciously comparing Xiao Yao's current appearance with the data she had when she left, and frowned: "You've lost weight too, five pounds."
After saying that, he looked coldly at Lu An.
Lu An was startled and quickly said, "Your Highness."
"Alright, let's go into the city to rest." Ling Yi ignored his words and led Xiao Yao into the city on her own.
The carriage concealed her and Xiao Yao's figures, as well as Lu An's worried gaze.
He felt that something was different about the princess's return this time.
That cold, piercing gaze made him somewhat worried for the prince.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Yao gently stroked Ling Yi's rough face with his fingertips and whispered, "You've suffered."
Ling Yi smiled and said, "What's so bitter about doing what I want?"
Artificial intelligence doesn't care about the process as long as the goal is achieved.
Besides, it's just a shell that can be replaced at any time.
【Warning, warning!】688’s voice rang out sharply in my mind, only to be ruthlessly silenced by 001, who was countless times more powerful.
The aura of the person beside him was like that of an unapproachable god, but Xiao Yao was like a dull fool, not sensing it at all.
He simply touched Ling Yi's wound, which was faintly red from the use of the wound medicine, and tears streamed down his face.
At this moment, they had returned to Prince Rui's mansion. Xiao Yao helped Ling Yi remove her armor and take off her clothes, which were no longer presentable.
Ling Yi was naked and allowed him to look her over, and then he cried so hard that she got a headache.
"Don't cry, I'm fine, I'm going to take a shower."
She hadn't felt it while marching, but now that she was back in the bright and clean Prince's mansion, Ling Yi felt as if she were covered in sand and her head was covered in lice.
Xiao Yao said with red eyes, "Your wound can't get wet, I'll wipe you down."
"Troublesome." Ling Yi glanced at the wound on her arm and the scratches in the seams of her armor. "Wash it first, then apply the medicine!"
After saying that, she lifted Xiao Yao into the bathroom like a chick, sat in the bathtub herself, and tilted her head back: "Give me a bath."
