Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 940 900: What a Huge Lobster

Lin Yi, upon his return to the Imperial Council Hall, did not prolong his stay. After swiftly addressing the immediate state affairs, he reconvened all the generals. The primary concern remained the ongoing incursions along the border regions.

This situation necessitated a definitive resolution.

And the method chosen? To divest them of their military authority, naturally.

Following a period of discussion, he gathered all the fragmented halves of their Tiger Talismans into his possession, assuring them that a reorganization would take place.

Despite their internal displeasure, they found themselves with no recourse, as Lin Yi was wielding considerable authority at this juncture.

It was precisely due to this firm stance that each general begrudgingly relinquished their respective Tiger Talismans.

Observing the scattered pieces of the Tiger Talisman before him, a slight curve graced Lin Yi's lips. He then procured a nearby brush and began to inscribe his thoughts upon the proposal laid out in front of him.

In a remarkably short span of time, an imperial decree was fully drafted.

Furthermore, once the writing was complete, he gestured to the side, and the astute Xiao Chen promptly presented the Imperial Jade Seal. Lin Yi accepted it directly, dipped it into vermillion ink, and with a decisive thud, affixed his seal to the decree.

With these actions concluded, he passed the decree to Xiao Chen, issuing his command:

"See that this decree is delivered without delay. Any individual who dares to defy my command shall be executed immediately. Show no leniency."

At these words, the assembled elderly generals visibly flinched, a shiver running through them, acutely aware of the stern warning embedded in Lin Yi's declaration.

They could, without a shadow of a doubt, believe that if they attempted any act of defiance, Lin Yi would most certainly move to eliminate them at the earliest opportunity.

It could be stated that while Lin Yi's pronouncement was ostensibly for the eunuch's ears, its true target was these veteran commanders.

Who would dare to step forward and obstruct him? It would undoubtedly be these very generals.

However, Lin Yi had now made his intentions crystal clear: any who dared to oppose his will would be met with immediate execution, without hesitation.

In comparison to the preservation of their own lives, certain matters would have to be set aside for the moment.

And Xiao Chen, demonstrating remarkable perceptiveness, acknowledged the order upon receiving the decree. He then led his retinue out of the hall, right before the eyes of everyone present.

As to the intended recipient of this decree, Xiao Chen, having observed Lin Yi's process of writing and preparing the ink, naturally understood its destination and purpose. Therefore, upon exiting the main hall, he swiftly assembled his subordinates and set off with haste in a specific direction.

Br P>After Xiao Chen's departure, Lin Yi glanced at his wrist, noting the progression of time and realizing it was nearing dusk. He consequently directed everyone to disperse.

He then proceeded to exit the main hall alone. With a slight surge of his legs, a resplendent red and white Iron Man Armor materialized around him. He launched himself skyward without a moment's delay, and in an instant, a streak of light vanished, soaring towards the distant horizon.

In mere moments, his form materialized within the Border Army Camp. As he descended, several individuals' gazes fell upon him. Among the figures advancing to meet him was, indeed, Leng Yu.

Since sharing a night of slumber in close proximity the previous evening, she had become notably more affectionate towards him.

The instant she perceived his arrival, she abandoned all else and moved directly towards him.

Presently, she exhibited a distinct girlish charm.

This endearing, daughter-like demeanor, however, only manifested when Lin Yi was in her vicinity.

In his absence, she maintained the persona of a cold and proud female general. Yet, in his presence, she transformed into a picture of demure grace.

Lin Yi found himself quite intrigued and filled with curiosity regarding her ability to maintain such a distinct duality in personality.

It was generally understood that a person's core personality rarely underwent such a drastic shift; if any change occurred, it typically led to a complete transformation rather than the existence of two separate personas. This was the first instance he had encountered such a phenomenon in an individual like Leng Yu.

However, his curiosity was not excessively profound; it was plausible that this duality represented Leng Yu's authentic self.

Perhaps that frigid expression, that aloof bearing, was merely a facade she employed.

After all, with the Leng family now reduced to solely her, without her father's guiding presence or her brother's support, the immense responsibility of the Border Army rested entirely upon her shoulders. How could she possibly afford to maintain a maiden's carefree disposition?

But the circumstances were different now. Lin Yi's arrival had, in essence, alleviated a substantial portion of Leng Yu's burden.

Alternatively, it could be said that Lin Yi stood as her steadfast anchor, providing her with an immeasurable sense of security.

It was precisely this foundation of security that had seemingly awakened the dormant, daughter-like essence within Leng Yu's heart.

"Brother Lin, you have returned! Have you partaken in a meal? I shall instruct the kitchens to prepare something for you immediately. Today, Liuzi and the others managed to procure a bountiful catch of large dragon shrimp from the sea; are those not to your liking? I have set aside a portion specifically for you."

It must be mentioned that ever since the previous night, her designation for Young Master Lin had been switched to Brother Lin.

Although Lin Yi found this address to be slightly awkward, he was powerless to alter it. After all, this young lady's decisions were beyond his influence; even if he protested, she simply wouldn't heed his words. Consequently, Lin Yi could only resign himself to letting her address him as she pleased.

Previously, during meals, the cuisine did not align with his preferences, leading Lin Yi to consume very little. He merely retrieved a piece of bread from his spatial storage and took a bite.

Now, however, he was genuinely feeling a pang of hunger. Especially upon hearing the description of the colossal dragon shrimp, his mouth began to water involuntarily.

Indeed, the dragon shrimp of this particular era were truly of immense size.

Dragon shrimp that stood as tall as half a person were seldom encountered in later generations, yet here, they appeared almost commonplace and abundant.

The drawback, however, was their preparation method: boiling or steaming. While this preserved an exquisite freshness, excessive consumption could lead to a greasy sensation.

More critically, the act of steaming such gargantuan shrimp struck Lin Yi as somewhat wasteful.

Therefore, Lin Yi extended his hand to gently tousle her hair before articulating with a lighthearted grin:

"After a day of activity, I am indeed feeling rather hungry. However, tonight, I intend to do the cooking myself. We shall share a meal together."
