Lin Kai suddenly didn't want to watch anymore.

Yes, his innate superhuman strength is real, but the fact that it's reduced by five times is also real...

That makes perfect sense. Apply the formula based on the theory that my monthly salary of 3000 is several times better than your monthly salary of 10000…

"Pooh!"

"I've never seen such incredible natural strength before..."

Thinking of this, Lin Kai spat and turned around.

Well, at least we have 1 assassins now...

However, Lin Kai had only just reached his warhorse.

"General!"

A captain walked over from the right.

"General, we captured a total of 31 soldiers, 470 imperial sedan chairs that were pierced by arrows, and about 6 jin of rouge and face powder..."

Meeting Lin Kai's gaze, the captain cupped his hands in greeting.

Lin Kai: ?

Is this really that incredible? A casualty rate as high as 90%?

She glanced at the "women's army" bound hand and foot beside her, and then at the sedan chairs in the distance.

"What prisoners? I have never seen them. You can deal with them as you see fit."

Lin Kai waved his hand.

These idiots are brain-dead; they'd rather be killed than have a dirty sword... They might as well squeeze every last drop of value out of the enemy...

It was impossible for Lin Kai to have sex with himself; he was worried about being contaminated.

He paused after saying that.

Lin Kai mounted his horse.

"Huaiyang City has been breached; we can proceed directly into Huaiyang City."

Looking at the messenger, Lin Kai gave the order.

...

Lin Kai still has many feelings about this battle.

After all, he initially believed he possessed superhuman strength.

But if it's a watered-down version of "Innate Superhuman Strength"... well, that's hard to say...

Who knows if the whole "elbow-lifting-a-copper-hammer" thing was just an act...

But for Choi Ki, that was a myth.

"Young Master is amazing! He just started a rebellion, and in just a few days he's captured several cities!"

Riding alongside, Cui Ji spoke with an excited expression.

"I was worried that the young master might be with Gu Manwei... Pah! I misspoke, I'll slap myself!"

As he spoke animatedly, Choi Ki quickly covered his mouth.

"..."

Lin Kai's lips twitched as he glanced at Cui Ji, who was slapping himself in the face.

I hesitated for a moment.

"never mind……"

Lin Kai shook his head.

"The rest will be the same as before."

"Send 3000 soldiers into the city, then take control of the powerful families within the city. If anyone resists, just kill them."

Turning to the messenger on the other side, Lin Kai waved his hand.

...

Huaiyang City, as a city bordering Jiangnan Province and Minnan Province, was quite prosperous.

Lin Kai was quite satisfied with most of the situation in Huaiyang City.

After all, with an area of ​​over 150 square kilometers and fertile land within a radius of hundreds of miles, it is definitely a good place to live and work in peace and contentment.

But with one exception.

At the end of the Mao hour (5-7 AM), the town of Huaiyang was under the command of the general.

What does it mean to vigorously develop spices and cosmetics?

"What does it mean that spices are taxed separately at a rate of one-hundredth?"

Lin Kai looked at the account book in his hand, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

What the hell is this? I'd accept even glass, but what the hell is spice? Is it even remotely useful?

"According to the magistrate of Huaiyang City, after Gu Manwei became the commander of Huaiyang City, she ordered the government to issue this announcement."

"Gu Manwei also stated that if the county magistrate disagreed, the garrison of Huaiyang City would be the first to overturn the county government office..."

The captain who came over to report clasped his hands and spoke tremblingly.

Lin Kai: ?

"Gu Manwei is so contemptuous of imperial authority, which Emperor Renzong didn't utter a sound?"

"Reporting to the General, according to the magistrate, Emperor Renzong has issued several imperial edicts telling Gu Manwei to take it easy, but every time an edict arrives, Gu Manwei either feigns illness, claims she wants to go shopping, or sneaks off to stew meat halfway through..."

Seeing Lin Kai's increasingly gloomy face, the captain's voice became even more hesitant.

Lin Kai: ?

Damn it, these people keep proving that my killing spree was the right thing to do...

I inwardly scoffed at it.

"Rescind this order. Furthermore, tell the magistrate that if..."

As his expression returned to calm, Lin Kai waved his hand.

The last word fell.

"Here you go!"

The captain knelt on one knee and nodded.

Just as he was about to turn around as if granted a pardon.

"Young Master, following your orders, the soldiers have taken control of the powerful families in Huaiyang City. Those families that refused to obey were confiscated. A total of 175 million taels of gold and 871 million taels of silver were found. As for the grain supplies that you are most concerned about, there are 10.2 shi, as well as 1470 sets of armor and standard weapons..."

Cui Ji stepped forward and, as he spoke, handed the ledger in his hand to Lin Kai.

However, after handing the ledger to Lin Kai.

"But the officials in the north of the city claim that their son-in-law is the garrison commander of Luoshui City, commanding 100,000 troops. If the general is determined to fight to the death, they would not hesitate to have their son-in-law conquer Huaiyang City and then massacre the city's inhabitants..."

With a hint of hesitation flashing across his face, Choi Ki spoke cautiously.

Luoshui City was the capital of Jiangnan Province, located more than 400 li south of Huaiyang City.

Lin Kai: ?

He cursed inwardly.

"Come on! Follow me to the government office in the north of the city!"

With his five fingers gripping the hilt of his sword, Lin Kai walked towards the door.

...

Objectively speaking, Lin Kai understood that the soldiers were somewhat wary.

After all, he was just a low-ranking soldier, and he was still a little apprehensive when he saw 100,000 heavily armed soldiers.

But there was one thing Lin Kai didn't understand.

Do female-oriented novel readers even know what a "city massacre" is...? In other novels, a city massacre is the massacre of the enemy's city...

You drive the enemy away, then slaughter your own city... isn't that just plain stupid?

Lin Kai walked along the bluestone streets of Huaiyang City, deeply impressed.

"Young master, the town garrison commander of Luoshui City is named Hong Xincheng."

"Although I don't have any information about him, I've heard that this Hong Xincheng is no ordinary person."

As Cui Ji walked, he turned his head to look at Lin Kai.

"...What could be so complicated..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kai's lips twitched, and then he spoke nonchalantly.

These incompetent women's fiction writers... give me 10 loyal followers and I'll...

"In the third year of Emperor Renzong's reign, Crown Prince Zuo Yikang brought back a courtesan from the Yichun Courtyard, declaring that he would marry no one but her, which infuriated Emperor Renzong."

"In a fit of rage, Emperor Renzong banished the crown prince from the capital, but Emperor Renzong was ultimately benevolent and did not depose the crown prince."

"After the Crown Prince was driven out of the capital, it was Hong Xincheng who took him in and treated him even better than his own biological father."

"In the thirteenth year of Emperor Renzong's reign, after the Crown Prince returned to the capital, he repeatedly expressed his admiration for Hong Xincheng's loyalty and righteousness, and repeatedly submitted memorials requesting that Hong Xincheng be given an important position."

"Emperor Renzong was also deeply moved, believing that the Great Li needed such loyal and righteous people. Therefore, he appointed Hong Xincheng as the Provincial Governor of Jiangnan Province, and later as the General of the Upper Garrison of Jiangnan Province, who had all the power to mobilize troops within Jiangnan Province."

Seeing Lin Kai's dismissive expression, Cui Ji added.

Lin Kai: ?

Holy crap! The crown prince forcibly married a prostitute! The crown prince wasn't deposed, but he was banished from the capital! Ten years later, the crown prince is still the crown prince!

But why do I have this feeling of déjà vu...?

I hesitated for a moment.

"Pass on my order: send 300 soldiers to the capital!"

Lin Kai waved his hand.

"Young Master, could this be...?"

"A mere 100,000 heavily armed troops, I can say that..."

Before Cui Ji could finish speaking, Lin Kai waved his hand to interrupt him.

He was only halfway through his sentence.

"?"

Lin Kai was stunned when he saw the data panel that suddenly popped up.

Is this... passing through a vast army? A top-tier battlefield movement technique? After mastering it, one can travel a hundred miles in a day?

"Awesome!"

Thinking of this, Lin Kai's eyes lit up.

But who is this Gu Zhixi? And what's with that name...?

And when Lin Kai's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"I implore the general to apologize to His Majesty for Zhixi's sake, so that we may save our lives and the lives of our families."

"Otherwise, the day His Majesty is enraged will be the day he issues an imperial edict to execute you."
