Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 930 890: Petition for Command of 250,000 Troops
"Let's not search anymore today, I'll just attend to you, young master, as you rest."
After hearing this, Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand repeatedly, saying there's no need, no need.
However, the other person didn't give Lin Yi a chance to speak at all, nor did they look at him, and instead, with tears in their eyes, walked straight toward the bed inside.
Watching this girl's somewhat thin yet seemingly aggrieved back, Lin Yi stood there, opening his mouth in a daze, but ultimately didn't know what to say.
After a long while, he could only shake his head helplessly and sigh.
It seems that tonight is unavoidable, but this last line, no matter what, he had to hold onto.
Sure enough, no matter what Lin Yi said, he couldn't evade it, as the girl insisted on staying in his room.
Of course, even though Lin Yi held onto his last line, he was still hugged tightly by this girl all night.
The next morning, Lin Yi crawled out of bed with panda eyes, walked out of the room, washed his face with cold water, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
This won't do. Being obsessed over like this every day is unbearable; you never know, one night while deeply asleep, she might succeed in her attempts.
If that really happened, he would become a scoundrel, letting down both Xiao Zihan and Leng Yu.
He shook his head helplessly, forcing himself not to think about it, instead putting on Iron Man's battle armor and flying toward the distant Imperial Palace.
Let's not forget, at this moment, he still held the King of Dayou's identity.
Because of this, every morning he had to go to the Imperial Council Hall to attend an early meeting with the ministers.
Fortunately, his mode of transportation was very convenient, taking only a few minutes to get there, otherwise, if it were people today riding horses, they'd spend over a dozen hours on the road daily.
When he arrived at the Royal Palace, he didn't go to the harem but headed straight to the Imperial Council Hall.
Mentioning this, one must state that, at this moment, the harem was in complete chaos.
The once noisy harem had now become very quiet.
As for why, it was naturally because the former King You's concubines had been sent away by Lin Yi.
As for where they were sent, of course, they were returned to their families or given traveling expenses to settle down outside the city if they had no home.
After all, Lin Yi had no interest in other men's wives.
Also, because of this, he had no interest in those women in the harem.
When he arrived at the Imperial Council Hall, it was already crowded with people, with numerous officials waiting here for a while.
Only when Lin Yi donned a pitch-black King's Robe and walked to the main hall, did the place fall into a sudden quiet.
His cold gaze swept over everyone below, and instantly, all heads bowed to their chests.
At this moment, a little eunuch to the side hurriedly called out,
"If you have matters, report early; if not, court is dismissed."
As these words fell, someone finally stepped forward. The speaker was none other than the current right Chancellor.
As soon as this old guy spoke, he threw a series of difficult problems at Lin Yi:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there's an urgent situation at the border. Last night, Chen received an urgent report from the border, indicating that Yan troops have already begun attacking our seven cities."
As he spoke, he reached into his bosom and pulled out a sheepskin scroll, holding it above his head. A little eunuch immediately rushed down, took the scroll, and brought it to Lin Yi.
Frowning, Lin Yi opened the scroll, immediately seeing densely packed lines of regular script.
The contents had been organized by the right Chancellor before being presented.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was knowledgeable enough and had previously learned this calligraphy style through the system, so he had no trouble reading this battle report.
After frowning through the entire report, he found that it detailed the current offensive by Yan Country against Dayou Country, with simultaneous attacks on seven cities. These cities were caught off-guard, and within three to five days, three might fall to the enemy.
In fact, Lin Yi had anticipated this situation long ago, having come from the border himself.
The contents of this sheepskin scroll included battle reports from the pass where Lin Yi was stationed.
After briefly reviewing the divination contents, he placed it aside and directed his gaze downward.
Before he could speak, two white-haired elderly officials from the ranks of military generals stepped forward and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead soldiers to reinforce! If the royal permission is granted to lead 250,000 troops, the old minister is confident of repelling all Yan dogs."
Lin Yi recognized the speaker as one of the veteran generals he had summoned to discuss matters in the rear hall yesterday.
This old fellow was the one wielding the most military power, yet he only controlled training power without the authority to mobilize.
Only with the Tiger Talisman in his hand could he completely command the army.
At such a critical moment, standing out first was undeniably courageous.
Of course, Lin Yi couldn't fully trust such passionate intentions. Being new to kingship, these old officials had nothing invested in him.
Moreover, after yesterday's meeting with them, they surely knew he would eventually reclaim their military powers.
Thus, Lin Yi believed this old fellow had his own motives.
If he trusted him and handed over 250,000 troops, there was no guarantee they wouldn't be used to besiege the Capital City instead.
Just as one should not intend to harm others, one must guard against being harmed.
Therefore, hearing his petition, Lin Yi waved his hand, signaling restraint while directing his inquiry to the right Chancellor:
"Right Chancellor, briefly explain our current troop distribution."
