Li Yi, who was still smiling, couldn't help but stiffen the smile on his face after hearing Margaret's seemingly joking words. Li Yi thought to himself, could this Margaret still know about the grievances she had with King Tianlan. No, except for a few people, no one else should be able to know about it. How did this Margaret find out the news?
However, although he was curious, Li Yi did not answer Margaret anything. Instead, he asked lightly: "I don't know what Mrs. Lohr said, does Mrs. Lohr know the reason why Li Yi left the Tianlan Empire?" β
Hearing Li Yi's rhetorical question, Margaret couldn't help but smile. Although this woman was over forty years old, it did not make people feel sick to see her make such a gesture of a little woman. After laughing, Margaret said: "General Li Yi is really a noble man who forgets things, when you seriously injured my envoy of Wu'an Kingdom in the palace of the Tianlan Empire, didn't King Tianlan punish you for ten years." I think General Li should have left the Tianlan Empire because he couldn't get money in the Tianlan Empire. β
After listening to Margaret's explanation, Li Yi's heart was secretly relieved. After Margaret's reminder, Li Yi remembered that in the palace of the Tianlan Empire, he seriously injured a pair of ugly brothers because of Alice. At the beginning, in order to protect Li Yi, King Tianlan only fined Li Yi for ten years. I didn't expect that after so many years, Margaret could still remember this trivial incident.
However, after thinking about what Margaret said, Li Yi also shook his head with a smile, and then said to Margaret: "Hehe, Mrs. Lohr said that she laughed, how could it be that I left the Tianlan Empire because of such naΓ―ve reasons. I left there for other reasons. Now I started working as a mercenary, just to earn a living. β
"Oh, that's right." Seeing that Li Yi seemed reluctant to mention why he left the Tianlan Empire, Margaret was also interested and did not ask any further.
"By the way, Lady Lore, when I was listening to your conversation before, I heard that you seem to belong to a force called the Wu'an Legion. What is the connection between this Wu'an Legion and the original Wu'an Kingdom? Not wanting to continue to dwell on this issue, Li Yi immediately diverted the topic and asked about something he was very interested in.
Hearing Li Yi's question, Margaret didn't hide anything, but said to Li Yi generously: "The current Wu'an Army has a lot to do with the original Wu'an Kingdom. Back then, the Say Empire brazenly sent troops to forcibly break through the defense line of our small countries and directly attack the Tianlan Empire. Because in the eyes of the Sayy Empire, our effect is completely the existence of the same thing, so after the Wu'an Kingdom was broken, the Sayi army did not make it too difficult for us, and after entering the city to recuperate overnight, they went to the Tianlan Empire to ask for the past. And after that, the Sayi Empire was defeated, and the Tianlan Empire fought from our Wu'an Country, still only using our Wu'an Kingdom as a transit station. Under the baptism of this war, the country of Wu'an became more and more turbulent, until finally, the king felt that sooner or later he would be buried there because of the conquest between the great powers, so the king led a small number of men and horses to secretly come to the south of Said. Margaret did not hide the past history to Li Yi.
Hearing Margaret's story, Li Yi also nodded sympathetically. After all, living between the big countries, it is really difficult for these small countries to get the space to survive. The king of Wu'an can have the courage to give up his territory, but he is also a hero.
But thinking that when Wu'an faced the attack of the Sayi Empire, at the last moment, Li Yi led his men to evacuate from the capital of Wu'an State sensibly. Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but say to Margaret embarrassedly: "Hehe, when the Sayy Empire attacked Wu'anguo, at the last moment, I led people to withdraw from the capital of Wu'anguo, and Mrs. Lohr won't hold a grudge." β
Hearing Li Yi say this, Margaret just smiled generously, and then said lightly: "What's to blame for this, after all, in fact, I can already see that in the face of the army of the Sayi Empire and the assistance of the other two small countries, it is really too difficult for our Wu'an Kingdom to preserve it intact." It is also reasonable for General Li to lead people to withdraw. β
Seeing that Margaret didn't seem to be insincere, Li Yi was finally relieved. In fact, Li Yi has always been obsessed with the battle in the national capital of Wu'an, after all, it was the first time in Li Yi's life that he led someone to escape, and in Li Yi's dictionary, escape has always been a symbol of shame. Now that he sees that the parties concerned don't blame themselves, Li Yi's unhappiness in his heart has finally decreased a lot.
Looking at Margaret with a smile, Li Yi opened his mouth and said, "Hehe, Mrs. Luoer doesn't always call me from General Li and General Li, I am no longer the actual head of the Tianlan Empire." I'm just the head of a mercenary group with only more than 300 people in control, and if Mrs. Lohr doesn't mind, she can just call me Li Yi. β
"Oh, Li Yi, hehe, in fact, everything you call is the same. It's just that I'm more nostalgic, and I still think it's more convenient to call you General Li. Hearing Li Yi's reminder, Margaret said with a smile.
"By the way, Lady Lore, did your king of Wu'an, when he first led his people to this southern border of Sayin, war had already broken out here? How did you Wu Anguo find a foothold in this chaotic southern realm of Said? Regarding Wu Anguo's experience, Li Yi is quite interested.
Seeing that Li Yi was so interested in this matter, Margaret didn't hide anything, and still said generously: "When I first came to the Sayi Empire, it was the time when the Tianlan Empire gathered troops on the border and prepared to attack the Seine King City in a big way. We also took advantage of the chaos to escape here. For the first few years, we occupied a small mountain range and became self-sufficient in that mountain range. Occasionally, they would go down the mountain to raid passing caravans or armies. It wasn't until the uprising broke out on the southern side of Sayin, that we also felt that this was an opportunity for our Wu'an Kingdom to seek development in the troubled times. So we simply led our army down from the mountains, and as a result, after so many years of development, we now have a large territory in Jingchuan Province. Compared with Wu Anguo at the beginning, it is no longer bad. β
Listening to Margaret's story with a smile, Li Yi really had a feeling of being ridiculous. Unexpectedly, the dignified king of a country would lead his people to a foreign land and become bandits. And after a career as a bandit, he found an opportunity for development in the midst of war. Now, after hard work, he has created a foundation that is no less than that of the year in a different place. Thinking about these things in his heart, Li Yi really wanted to get to know the king of Wu'an at this time.
"Hehe, the king of your country really deserves to be the king of a country, and being able to do this really proves that he does have some ability." Although Li Yi admired the king of Wu'an Kingdom in his heart, when he spoke, Li Yi's evaluation was only "a little ability" after all.
Hearing Li Yi's evaluation, Margaret also felt a little inappropriate. But thinking of Li Yi's terrifying strength, Margaret also understood that Li Yi didn't seem to mean anything when he said this.
Without commenting on this matter, Margaret finally recovered her mental and physical strength at this time after talking to Li Yi. Thanking Li Yi again with a smile, Margaret said: "Li Yi, thank you and your friends this time, if you hadn't come in time, I'm afraid that our army would really be wiped out under the offensive of the RhΓ΄ne Army." Alas, it's all because I was too light on the enemy before, I didn't expect the RhΓ΄ne army to dare to set up an ambush here, and after I go back, I have to remind the monarch. β
Listening to Margaret as if she was thanking and talking to herself, Li Yi smiled slightly, and then said, "Mrs. Lohr, don't you mind telling me about the situation in this Jingchuan Province." I came here with my own team this time to make a living. If we can know the distribution of forces here, it will also be of great help to our mercenary group to take on the mission, right? β
"Are you going to develop here?" Hearing Li Yi's question, Margaret realized a problem at this time. Li Yi appeared in Jingchuan Province this time, and he actually wanted to develop his business in this chaotic territory. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Margaret secretly thought in her heart: "I really don't know, whether he is a hero or a fool." β
However, Li Yi didn't know what Margaret was thinking at this time, and seeing Margaret's surprised look after hearing his words, Li Yi couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the matter, Mrs. Lohr, do I think there's something wrong with developing here?" Although a friend had told me that the situation here was a bit confusing before I came, she didn't explain the specific situation to me, so I had to ask you. β
Seeing Li Yi's confused look, Margaret finally put away the surprise in her heart, and then said to Li Yi with a smile: "Hehe, okay, since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy (well, Mrs. Lohr is Team Rocket)." But it's really complicated here, so let's talk as we go. General Li, don't you mind going to our city of Wu'an. β
Hearing Margaret's invitation, Li Yi first smiled, and then said to Margaret: "Hehe, okay, but I have to wait until I tell my friends and subordinates first, after all, they are really important to me." After speaking, Li Yi turned around and left, and walked to Yadi and the others, who had gathered together at this time.
When he walked to Yadi's side, Yadi immediately stepped forward and asked very gossipy: "Hey, Li Yi, you kid, how can you leave your romantic debts everywhere." In this unfamiliar place, you can meet your old lover. Yes, yes, this eldest sister looks really a little bit of taste. β
Seeing Yadi's shameless look, Li Yi could only clench his fists angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Yadi, if you think the battle just now is not enjoyable enough, I don't mind playing with you for a while." β
Looking at Li Yi's tightly clenched iron fist, Yadi was also interested in no longer joking, and said to Li Yi with a smile: "Hehe, how can you say that it will be popular, you are really stingy enough." I know, she's not your old lover, so you don't have to be so nervous. What's the matter with you coming, it can't be that the woman invited us to meet somewhere? β
Unexpectedly, Yadi just guessed at random, and guessed Li Yi's intention to come back. Seeing that Yadi had already guessed his purpose, Li Yi also smiled and said: "Hehe, it's really what you said, this woman's name is Margaret, and she is an acquaintance I met when I was in the Tianlan Empire. Now it just so happens that they are also developing in Jingchuan Province, and we are helping her solve such a big problem, so she wants to invite us to sit in their city. β
"There's nothing dangerous, are you sure this person can be trusted?" Regarding Li Yi's words, Lincoln asked very cautiously on the side.
Faced with Lincoln's caution, which was already from the bottom of his bones, Li Yi could only shake his head helplessly, and then said with a smile: "Well, although I can't guarantee whether she is really credible." But I know her very well, she is the kind of person who knows how to do things. The strength we showed before was enough to make her taboo, and I don't think she would be stupid enough to frame you and me for no reason. So don't worry, we can go to them, and we can take the opportunity to inquire about the situation in this Jingchuan Province. In this case, it is better than us running around in Jingchuan Province without a clue. β
Listening to Li Yi's words, Lincoln finally stopped hesitating, nodded his head, and said lightly to Li Yi: "No way, this kind of caution is almost innate, so I was just suspicious of her before." β
"Understood, it's fine." Regarding Lincoln's words, Li Yi just waved his hand and said lightly.
Seeing that his affairs had been explained, Li Yi was about to turn around and go over to find Margaret. It's just that just when he was about to leave, Yadi stopped Li Yi again.
After standing still, Li Yi looked at Yadi with some puzzlement, and then asked suspiciously, "What's wrong, is there anything else?" β
After stopping Li Yi, Yadi just pointed his finger to the side, and then said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, I think you have forgotten one thing." Before, you were majestic, and you killed a commander with a flick of your hand. But these of his subordinates are now surrendering, whether to kill or stay, you have to make a decision. β
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but look in the direction of Yadi's finger, and after seeing that in addition to his own three hundred people, there were five or six hundred soldiers of the Lona Legion on the field, Li Yi couldn't help but have a headache. After all, Li Yi also has little experience in how to deal with prisoners of war. When he first served in the Central Army, he was only responsible for the battle, and as for what happened after the battle, he didn't ask the slightest question.
So now looking at the hundreds of captives, Li Yi could only look at them in a daze with a headache.
However, just when Li Yi was entangled, Margaret in the distance slowly walked to Li Yi's side. After seeing Li Yi's frowning brows, Margaret asked worriedly: "What's the matter, Li Yi, is there anything that can't be solved, is it because your people don't worry about following me?" β
Hearing Margaret's voice, Li Yi instantly felt as if he had found a savior. slapped his thigh hard, Li Yi said secretly in his heart: "It's really stupid, I'm helping her fight this time, so of course she has to make a decision on the matter of dealing with prisoners of war, what do I have to worry about." β
Thinking of this, Li Yi hurriedly said to Margaret: "Hehe, Madame Lorre, just now my people asked me how to deal with this batch of prisoners, I think this time we are fighting for you, so you should deal with the matter of the prisoners." β
