I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Days passed like this. Every day she saw Lin Yi there, and she wanted to go out and see him, but she didn't dare.

However, waiting for Lin Yi to arrive every night became her new activity.

The thin veil had been pierced, and Lingyi, after constantly examining her own heart, realized that she truly didn't know when she had fallen in love with this man.

But this man belongs to Bixia...

Lingyi had many concerns in her heart, and for seven days in a row, she did not go out to see Lin Yi.

Lin Yi did not reappear until the eighth day.

The same thing happened on the ninth day.

Day 10...

On the fifteenth day, Lingyi finally couldn't sit still any longer. She began to go down the mountain to inquire about the Shang King's whereabouts.

It's not difficult to do this. She has many animal friends and is good at making friends. Just ask around and you'll always get the answers you want.

A wild goose flying in from the northeast told her the information she wanted.

However, it was just an ordinary goose, and it wasn't particularly intelligent.

After being awakened by Lingyi, it could only intermittently express what it saw.

"The Shang kings, in their campaigns and in the mountains and forests, all perished."

"The Shang king is dead?"

Upon hearing this news, Lingyi felt as if all the strength in her body had been instantly stripped away.

he died?

In an instant, various images of Lin Yi flashed through her mind, finally settling on the image of him being hacked to death with swords and spears...

The final image is blurry because it's her imagination.

"The king is dead, they are all dead!"

The wild geese continued to relay fragmented messages, and upon hearing this, Lingyi collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, the wild geese continued flying south.

It didn't know if the person understood, but it didn't need to care; after all, it was just a wild goose.

Lingyi grieved alone for a long time, still unable to accept that Lin Yi had died in battle.

She began intercepting migratory birds coming from the northeast, and the information she received was largely the same.

War, brutal, many people, deaths.

Lingyi grew increasingly disheartened as she listened; as the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger."

As more and more birds talk about the war in the northeast, it seems that this is indeed the truth.

Lingyi had forgotten how she got back to Mount Tai.

But when she reached the foot of the mountain, there stood someone she had been thinking about for a long time.

That person was Lin Yi.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, Ling Yi froze on the spot, unable to believe it for a moment.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Waaah!"

Lingyi rushed to Lin Yi's side and hugged him tightly. He was still warm; it wasn't a ghost or a hallucination.

Lingyi burst into tears of joy, overjoyed at the prospect of finding something she had lost.

Lin Yi hadn't expected that a casual remark from him would cause Ling Yi to lose her composure like this.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do, so he just stood there motionless.

This girl is nice, but her tendency to hug people when she gets excited is a bad trait.

Of course, I won't hug him.

He is a gentleman and would not take advantage of an opportunity.

"Where have you been all these days? Why haven't you come looking for me!"

Before Lin Yi could explain, Ling Yi interrupted, "They all said you were dead! They scared me to death!"

Lin Yi: "..."

Who is spreading rumors that I am dead?

Lingyi's sadness made Lin Yi feel that something was wrong.

Speaking of...

Why was she so heartbroken?

Does she really only see me as a friend?

Forget it, I can't think about this problem too much.

Lin Yi then retorted, "Who said I'm dead?"

Lingyi then recounted how she had inquired about information from the birds, leaving Lin Yi speechless.

"Is it possible that you misinterpreted it?"

Lin Yi complained, "They are all dead, but I'm not one of them."

"what?"

"It's a long story, let me tell you!"

Lin Yi felt that this matter was quite outrageous.

Seven or eight days ago, he suddenly received news that Li Hu had sacrificed his life while suppressing bandits.

Li Hu was one of the most important nobles guarding the East, and his position was extremely important. Naturally, Lin Yi knew about the incident immediately.

After checking the relevant records, Lin Yi was even more dumbfounded.

In short, it's outrageous.

Five thousand regular troops went into the mountains to suppress bandits, but were completely wiped out.

You seem to be teasing me.

When Lin Yi heard the news, he even felt that there must be a conspiracy involved.

Perhaps someone is secretly plotting against him.

Lin Yi then dispatched three different intelligence organizations to gather information, and the truth soon came to light.

Lin Yi was stumped after receiving three pieces of intelligence that were largely consistent with each other.

A large Yuezhi tribe in the east, with a total population of less than a thousand, annihilated eight thousand elite troops of the Shang Dynasty.

These aren't just eight thousand ragtag soldiers, they're eight thousand elite troops!

Even if they were fighting with their feet, it wouldn't have come to this.

Lin Yi's first thought was that this Li Hu was probably a fool, feeding kills to his enemies wave after wave.

But he soon realized that with three batches of different numbers of troops, it was impossible for the leaders to fall into the same trap.

Therefore, it is very likely that Li Hu was not stupid, but that the Yuezhi had a problem.

The consequences of Li Hu's death were quite severe.

First of all, it has caused the Shang Dynasty to lose face. You should know that the Shang Dynasty is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, but its prestige has spread far and wide, and the barbarians in all directions do not dare to provoke it easily.

However, after Li Hu was defeated and killed, the Dongyi tribes began to stir.

They probably thought that the powerful merchants were just paper tigers, and their prestige was all just for show.

As a result, the Eastern Yi deployed troops on the border and engaged in rampant provocations.

How could Lin Yi tolerate this?

He immediately mobilized 20,000 troops for the expedition.

That's right, only 20,000.

Fighting the Eastern Yi doesn't require too many soldiers.

This 20,000 should be enough.

Coincidentally, the Demon-Slaying Sword had been forged, and Lin Yi needed fresh blood to sharpen it.

The barbarians from the east are walking right into my path, so Lin Yi certainly won't be polite.

Lin Yi personally led the expedition, only to discover upon arrival that these barbarians were utterly inhuman, engaging in rape, plunder, and even cannibalism.

Lin Yi had no intention of reforming these barbarians. He drew his demon-slaying sword and slaughtered for three days and three nights, leaving countless heads rolling and rivers of blood flowing...

Chapter 644 Desire to Subdue the Yuezhi

The message carried by the geese isn't actually wrong, but it's easy to cause misunderstandings.

When the Shang king went to war, all the dead were the enemy.

After the wild goose's description, it seemed as if the Shang king's entire army had been wiped out, so it's no wonder Lingyi was anxious.

Now that she knows it was a false alarm, she can finally relax.

After the initial surprise, she's now feeling shy again.

She hadn't forgotten what she had just done.

While her actions in the heat of the moment were indeed irrational, a closer examination of the reasons behind her emotional outburst makes it easier to guess her true intentions.

Lingyi felt like a small animal forced into a corner, and Lin Yi, standing in front of her, suddenly gave her a great sense of pressure.

Lingyi's heart raced, fearing that Lin Yi would discover her unusual behavior.

However, Lin Yi did not dwell on this point.

He recounted his experiences over the past few days, which also served as an explanation for why he hadn't come over for a few days.
