However, Choi Ki was clearly overthinking it.

Because Lin Kai wasn't angry; on the contrary...

"So both the real and fake young masters have come..."

With his legs clamped together, Lin Kai sprinted towards Tongde City.

Returning the adopted son...and turning the military governor against his cause...

"Wait a minute, isn't my cheapskate father a civil servant?"

"Are civil officials capable of commanding five thousand elite soldiers?"

However, as Lin Kai rode along, he suddenly realized a blind spot.

Could they be recruiting soldiers privately?

The thought of this possibility startled Lin Kai.

...

If it's a private recruitment, and there's a fake young master involved, then it makes perfect sense.

After all, in female-oriented fiction, the one who laughs last is always the fake young master, while the real young master is usually the main villain in the early stages, or at worst, just someone on the street...

More than an hour later.

As Lin Kai galloped away on his horse, he arrived at a plain.

"Tongde City..."

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Kai pulled on the reins and stopped the horse.

He was just about to reach out and take the bamboo tube sighting device handed to him by the messenger next to him.

"Young Master...Young Master..."

Choi Ki, panting heavily, spurred his horse to catch up.

They met Lin Kai's gaze.

"It's so good that the young master is alright."

Choi Ki wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke with a look of satisfaction.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

After receiving the bamboo tube, Lin Kai did not immediately raise it, but instead glanced at Cui Ji sideways.

"Young Master, you suddenly galloped away on horseback. I didn't even have time to react before I saw you run out of the army camp."

"After that, I was constantly worried that the young master might fall into some kind of ambush on the way..."

Meeting Lin Kai's gaze, Cui Ji spoke earnestly.

"ambush?"

Before Cui Ji could finish speaking, Lin Kai chuckled and waved his hand.

These female-oriented brainwashers, what the hell do they know about ambushes...?

If they can calculate what the losses are, I'd be impressed if they could figure out how much a hundred thousand troops consume in a day!

Besides, I already have the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms! I've already chased after thirty heavily armored soldiers all by myself! Why would I be afraid of an ambush?

"Don't make jokes like that again. After all, I, your young master, am..."

"Young Master, this is no joke. Lin Deguang was the adopted son of the Lin family, so the master favored him greatly during his lifetime. He was not only skilled in political essays and could recite the Four Books and Five Classics fluently, but he was also quite proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting..."

"The four arts of qin (a stringed instrument), chess, calligraphy, and painting?"

"Not only in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but I've also heard that Lin Deguang is quite knowledgeable in military strategy, and even offered a plan when the Dali Kingdom wanted to attack the desert..."

"What's the plan?"

"Let me think... I remember now, the horses were connected by iron chains so they wouldn't get lost!"

"..."

Seeing the look of sudden realization on Cui Ji's face, Lin Kai's lips twitched.

That's it... At first, I really thought this 'sworn brother' was something special...

I inwardly scoffed at it.

"Pass on my order: the army is to be deployed..."

Lin Kai waved his hand.

...

After giving the order, Lin Kai raised the bamboo tube and looked out over the city.

But as I looked at it...

"No, Tongde City doesn't have city walls?"

Lin Kai was a little horrified.

Where are the city walls? Huh? I can see the street right away?

Is this ancient times? Ancient cities didn't have city walls?

"Young master, you're making a fuss over nothing."

"I had contact with Lin Deguang before."

"Lin Deguang always said: War is not a means, but the goal of implementing benevolent governance, and we should use love to influence people."

After setting down the bamboo tube, Cui Ji looked at Lin Kai.

Lin Kai: ?

His expression changed back and forth for a long time.

"I guess I'm just being naive..."

With a sigh, Lin Kai turned his gaze back to Tongde City.

After scanning the scene inside the city several times.

"No city walls... then why don't I just send my cavalry in for a charge?"

"But if Lin Deguang dared not repair the city walls and dared to claim he could reform through love, then at least he had shield-bearers, right?"

Lin Kai pondered to himself.

After all, the Ironclad Cavalry, something we never expected before, has appeared. Who knows what the female-oriented online community will copy...

However, according to the pattern of female-oriented content where people only know one side of the story and not the other...

"Pass on my order: shield bearers will escort archers in two groups towards Tongde City. Once they reach 200 paces..."

Lin Kai waved his other hand.

But Lin Kai was only halfway through his sentence.

"?"

Lin Kai then saw a large crowd suddenly gather at the exit of Tongde City.

I suspect that Lin Deguang led his troops out of the city.

But he wasn't entirely sure either.

I thought about it.

"The shield bearers no longer need to escort; the archers, circle around to the concealed positions on both flanks..."

Lin Kai decisively issued the order.

...

After conveying the order, Lin Kai stayed put to rest and wait.

After all, the enemy came to our doorstep.

During the time Lin Kai waited, he thought about many things.

For example, could the person coming be Lin Deguang? If I were to meet Lin Deguang, what would I say?

Could he possibly trick Lin Deguang into giving away his 5,000 elite soldiers? After all, according to the "fake young master" rule in female-oriented online novels, that must be an incredibly powerful army.

But, after an incense stick has burned.

"?"

Lin Kai was momentarily stunned when he glanced at the man riding a white horse in front of him, clad in bright silver armor, and then at the five thousand slender women in armor riding various colored warhorses behind him.

No... is this really that awesome?

Lin Kai, still bewildered, remained in shock.

"How dare you, Lin Kai! When has Emperor Renzong ever treated you poorly?"

"You eat the emperor's food but do not repay his kindness; do you have no conscience?"

Riding on horseback, Lin Deguang drew his sword from his waist, pointed it at Lin Kai, and roared angrily.

"Does the imperial court know I've rebelled?"

Hearing this, Lin Kai came to his senses.

That damned Emperor Renzong finally... wait, why didn't I receive an imperial edict?

I hesitated for a moment.

"Have the archers aim at Lin Deguang, and then shoot them hard."

Lin Kai turned to look at the messenger beside him.

He finally understood why Lin Deguang had five thousand elite soldiers... They were all his harem.

Pah! People like that are obviously show-offs!

"Here you go!"

Upon hearing Lin Kai's instructions, the messenger bowed and agreed.

He was about to pull the military flag from his pocket.

"Lin Kai, say something! Are you not saying anything because you're guilty?!"

"Do you have any conscience at all? How can you face the ancestors of the Lin family?"

Lin Deguang took a few steps forward and roared loudly again.

Lin Kai: ?

Aren't you an adopted son?

"Stop shooting arrows at Lin Deguang. Have all the archers aim at the women behind him and make him..."

Lin Kai glanced sideways at Lin Deguang, then turned to look at the messenger.

That sentence was only half-finished.

【Host detected %】(Actually: Objects around the host were detected)

【大黎て安康せ林德光そこけ%の标准】(Actually: 大黎安康男林德光 meets the standards of a dragon-like protagonist)

"what?"

Lin Kai blinked as he saw the data panel pop up.

Holy crap! A mission has appeared!

Even the system said that only I, the emperor, can exist in this world!

"The Body of a Martial Saint... will release an aura of pressure on enemies as I walk, which will definitely allow me to restore order to the world?"

Lin Kai's gaze fell on the last line of the data panel, and he stroked his chin, thinking for a moment.

After reaching a conclusion.

"You are the one!"

Drawing his sword from his waist, Lin Kai charged toward Lin Deguang with gleaming eyes.

The Body of a Martial Saint! Here I come! No one is allowed to take it from me!

One hundred steps, seventy steps, fifty steps...

As Lin Kai and Lin Deguang gradually closed the distance between them.

"How dare you! Do you know who you are?"

Seeing Lin Kai rapidly approaching in his line of sight, Lin Deguang became even more furious.

Just as he was about to pull the reins to urge the horse forward.

"Guang'er, the sun is so bright in late August!"

"Yeah, yeah, my blush is almost melted!"

"Hikari, shall we go back first? We can reapply our rouge before the final battle~"

"I agree with Sister Hu! Lin Kai wouldn't run away even if he were right here, but if his makeup gets ruined, it's really ruined!"

"Sister Yan is right! Isn't Guang'er nice?"
