"Hehe, this journey to the Capital City was my arrangement. Furthermore, concerning the Kingdom's affairs nowadays, who would dare to provoke me? Who would dare?"
Of course, while these thoughts occupied her mind, Lin Yi refrained from vocalizing them, as she was anticipating a moment—awaiting Leng Yu's arrival in the Capital City to witness her seated upon the dragon throne, and to observe the intriguing reaction she might display.
In truth, this prospect held a certain element of surprise.
Lin Yi had been contemplating: when this young lady saw him assume the mantle of the King of Dayou, would she be so astonished that she leaped from her seat?
Although in Jingdong, his business empire was already widely recognized, they were currently at the Border Army Camp where communication channels were far from efficient. With no means of relaying information, developments from elsewhere, particularly those matters, would undoubtedly remain concealed.
This very reason explained why they were completely unaware that the King of Dayou had undergone a change in leadership, and was no longer Chen Shiren.
This was one of the significant drawbacks stemming from ancient methods of transportation and the slow pace of information dissemination.
Consequently, not only was the Border Army Camp ignorant of the dramatic shifts that had transpired in the Capital City.
Even a substantial portion of the provinces within the Kingdom of Dayou remained uninformed about this event.
Should any knowledge have surfaced, it would likely be confined to the highest echelons of officials, with many subordinate local administrators left in the dark.
Moreover, and crucially, Lin Yi had not yet formally initiated the enthronement ceremony, thus, he had not officially taken command of the Kingdom of Dayou.
Without this formal assumption of power, a comprehensive nationwide notification would not be issued.
This meant that only after ascending the throne would an official decree be promulgated by the court, proclaiming the new emperor's accession across every province of the Kingdom of Dayou.
As for the timing of this ascension, Lin Yi had already made arrangements, and it was slated to occur within the forthcoming days.
"Fear not, even should you journey to the Capital City, there is no cause for concern regarding this vicinity. Pay no mind to Wang Le; the principal commanding generals within the Border Army Camp remain loyal to us. Little Liu ought not to present any difficulties for me, should he?"
Following Lin Yi's lighthearted remark, Lao Liu was so taken aback that he immediately dropped to his knees, his visage etched with profound regret.
"Young Master Lin, what are you implying? Regardless of my foolishness, I am fully aware of whose intervention granted me my life! You are my savior, and at your command, I would not hesitate; even if you ordered me to crash headlong into a wall and perish, I would do so without a second thought.
This insignificant existence of mine was bestowed by Young Master Lin, so if you so desire, I can relinquish it back to you at any given moment."
These sentiments were not exclusive to him; every individual present shared the identical feeling.
They understood that their very survival was a direct consequence of Lin Yi's presence.
Because of this realization, their hearts overflowed with deep gratitude.
It could be stated without hyperbole that even if Lao Liu were to forget his past indebtedness and genuinely impede Young Master Lin, these men would undoubtedly rally together instantaneously to confront Lao Liu.
But, naturally, such a scenario was highly improbable, given Lao Liu's straightforward and unyielding disposition; once he had acknowledged Lin Yi as his benefactor, he would not waver.
Observing Lao Liu's demeanor and actions, Leng Yu offered a nod of approval and addressed him with significant intention:
"Indeed, you must perpetually recall how you attained all of this, and the reasons behind our current fortunate circumstances.
Therefore, even if the moment arrives when we must lay down our lives, do not harbor a single moment of hesitation. Can you affirm this commitment?"
Irrespective of any other considerations, as Leng Yu currently held the position of chief general of the Border Army Camp, serving as the direct superior to these individuals, and was the young lady they had watched mature over the years,
for these reasons, Leng Yu's pronouncements carried greater authority than even those of the Emperor within this domain.
Upon hearing Leng Yu's inquiry, the assembled group promptly shifted their expressions, vociferously affirming their agreement.
Only then did Leng Yu grant a nod of satisfaction, effectively dispelling the lingering doubts and apprehensions within her heart.
Precisely as Lin Yi had articulated, as long as the Border Army Camp remained under their command, it represented a highly advantageous situation for Lin Yi, the acknowledged savior of the entire Border Army Camp, ensuring none would dare to challenge him.
Should any individual dare to do so, there would be no need for any explicit directive—the established faction led by Lao Liu would swiftly take action.
Leng Yu possessed this unwavering conviction.
After a conversation that spanned nearly thirty minutes, the group commenced preparations for upcoming activities.
This development had arisen with startling abruptness, catching everyone entirely unprepared, lacking any prior planning; or rather, any preparations they might have had were rendered obsolete and beyond their comprehension, plunging the entirety of the Border Army Camp into a state of heightened alert.
Suddenly, every task necessitated a fresh start and meticulous preparation.
For Leng Yu in particular, the paramount objective was to expedite the packing of her belongings, as the imperial edict had decreed her departure for the Capital City the following day.
Previously, Leng Yu harbored the notion she might be relegated to the role of a minor garrison general. She never foresaw an abrupt turn of events that would nullify all her meticulous planning, dictating a complete reset. Consequently, after the departure of all others, Leng Yu retreated to her chamber alongside Lin Yi, commencing the task of packing. Naturally, the duty of packing fell entirely upon Leng Yu's shoulders. As for Lin Yi? He was seated by the bedside, a smile gracing his lips as he observed the young lady engrossed in her work. However, as he watched, a subtle discrepancy became apparent. The girl was packing her belongings while discreetly wiping away tears. Lin Yi was first taken aback, then utterly astonished. He was far too acquainted with her disposition; despite knowing her for merely a few days, he recognized her exceptionally tenacious spirit. [To be continued...]
