His estimation was completely wrong!
Fortunately, the opportunity was still there. Whether it was on the way to the northern border or on the way back from the northern border, there was actually no problem.
As long as he could get on the target’s good side and get on Lin Yi’s good side, that would be enough!
“I’ve received good news. I’ve heard that you’ve shown your power in fire sickle city and curl Flower City, defeating the main force of seitong Commandery and forcing them to cede land and pay indemnities. I’m so excited, I can’t wait to see your power!”
Huo Jingtian didn’t care that they were on the streets at all. He looked at Lin Yi with respect and praised him loudly.
Lin Yi glanced at Huo Jingtian and nodded,””City Lord Huo, there’s no need to be so polite. After the war, my personal guard Camp needs to be repaired. Please make the arrangements first.”
“I should, I should! It is this official’s honor to be able to host the Marshal and the Warriors who can fight one against a hundred. Everything has been arranged, so please go, Marshal!”
Huo Jingtian turned his body to the side.
After Lin Yi agreed, he quickly got on his horse and led the way to the side.
When they arrived at the city Lord’s mansion, there were dozens of young and beautiful women lined up at the entrance. Fragrant flower petals were dancing in the air.
The floor was covered with a luxurious red carpet, and the welcoming array was very Grand.
Lin Yi’s face was still calm, not changing at all.
Huo Jingtian carefully observed Lin Yi’s expression, sighing in his heart. As expected of the Prince of the capital, he’s seen the world!
After leading Lin Yi to the banquet, Huo Jingtian invited Lin Yi to take a seat while he sat at the second seat.
“Marshal, this small city is short of food. There’s nothing good to take out. There’s only some game hunted from the mountains, coarse tea, plain rice, and light wine. Please don’t mind it and try some.”
Huo Jingtian introduced a few dishes to Lin Yi with a big smile on his face. They were all made from the rare Essence of dark spirit beasts.
The wine was also a precious wine stored in a cellar, and it was definitely not as crude as what Huo Jingtian had said.
If this meal was in a restaurant outside, it was not something that could be eaten with money.
“City Lord Huo, you’re so kind. There are so many good things here. It’s rare for me to get to eat them!”
Lin Yi’s lips curled up into a mysterious smile.
Huo Jingtian was shocked. These words … Were they good or bad?
Huo Jingtian didn’t dare to think too much about it. He just laughed it off and said a few humble words before taking out a gift list and presenting it to Lin Yi with both hands.
“Marshal, this is the food that this lowly official has prepared. There is also a small token of my appreciation. Please take a look and accept it.”
“MMH,” Lin Yi said as he opened the gift list.
In addition to the basic provisions and supplies, there were also many precious ores, inner cores, and all kinds of other valuable things.
“Marshal, this subordinate has already arranged for these things, including the provisions and supplies, to be delivered to vice commander song. If there are any problems, just give the order, Marshal! As for this lowly official’s small token of appreciation, this lowly official has already prepared it. Marshal will take it with you when you return. ”
Lin Yi nodded noncommittally and tossed the gift list aside. “You’re so thoughtful!”
Before Huo Jingtian could celebrate, Lin Yi changed the topic,”By the way, Zhang Yiming, the commander of tingfeng camp, said he was going back to Yunying city to visit his relatives two days ago. It’s my first time here, so I’m not familiar with the place. I’ll have to trouble Castellan Huo to ask him to join us for dinner.”
Huo Jingtian’s shock was no small matter. Zhang Yiming?
That little fatty from the Zhang family?
Was he really the commander of the tingfeng camp?
What the f * ck!
Huo Jingtian felt as if ten thousand mud crabs and horses were galloping across his heart.
This matter … Could not be resolved peacefully!
“Don’t worry, Marshal. This lowly official will send someone to find commander Zhang!”
Huo Jingtian’s expression did not change. He forced himself to calm down as he thought about how to deal with this situation. However, he continued,”But I don’t know commander Zhang, and I don’t know where his family is. There are many Zhang families in Yunying city.”
If he let Zhang Yiming out, Huo Jingtian felt that he would be dead for sure. But if he didn’t let him out, it was hard to say if he would still be alive!
The only plan now was to be ruthless and decisive and kill all the Zhang family members in prison so that the dead could not testify!
“It’s fine. I know a little about commander Zhang’s family background. He’s my senior brother. I heard him mention it when I was in the sect. He said that the biggest Yunying fine iron mine in Yunying city belongs to his family.”
Lin Yi looked at Huo Jingtian with a half-smile,”With this clue, city Lord Huo should know, right?”
Beads of sweat began to form on Huo Jingtian’s forehead as he forced a smile and said,””In that case, this official has some direction. Marshal, please wait a moment. This official will arrange for someone to find commander Zhang.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jingtian bowed and stepped out of the door.
Lin Yi’s lips curled into a cold smile as he locked his divine sense onto Huo Jingtian.
Even Zhang Yiming was thrown into jail. Lin Yi wanted to see how Huo Jingtian would handle this.
The answer was revealed very quickly. After Huo Jingtian left, he quickly found his confidants for a meeting.
Then, he secretly ordered his trusted men to gather the troops. One group would go to the prison to kill the Zhangs, and the other group would surround Lin Yi’s personal guard Camp.
After that, they sealed off the entire city and entered a state of martial law.
The Zhang family had already been dealt with, and there was no way they could let things rest peacefully. Huo Jingtian was prepared to use force to erase the evidence.
If necessary, he’d even fall out with Lin Yi!
The 800 cavalrymen had killed 70000 soldiers and ambushed 30000 soldiers, but Huo Jingtian didn’t believe it.
His instinct told him that Lin Yi was just using this to make himself look better.
Victory was definitely a victory, but the difference in numbers was hard to say.
Perhaps the truth would be if the number of people on both sides were reversed?
Therefore, Huo Jingtian wasn’t afraid at all. With the military strength of Yunying city, they weren’t afraid of a mere 800 cavalrymen.
As long as he killed the people of the Zhang family, then threatened them with force, this matter would most likely be left unsettled.
However, it was certain that he would be on bad terms with the Prince.
However, Huo Jingtian couldn’t care less about that. He could only wait and see how he could use money to find an opportunity to ease their relationship.
Lin Yi’s face darkened as he used his spirit sense to monitor everything.
He really had guts!
Huo Jingtian was courting death!
With the burst of his super butterfly steps, Lin Yi, who was sitting in the main seat, kicked away a few tables in front of him and disappeared in a flash.
The officials and celebrities of Yunying city who were accompanying him were dumbfounded. They had no idea what had happened.
Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen by the time they realized what was going on.
After a few seconds, Lin Yi arrived at the guards unit.
Huo Jingtian did not dare to neglect these proud soldiers and generals. He had specially set up a banquet of nearly a hundred tables in a large courtyard of the city Lord’s mansion to entertain the soldiers of the personal guard Camp.
