After all, Lord Yunyang still did not wait for his son. Fei Luoge, the leader of the Yunyang Army, died, and almost all the five thousand soldiers and horses were wiped out. Li Yi was also forcefully taken back to Yuxi City by Alaiya.
On the same day, Lide announced the result of this war to the outside world, officially took over Fengyan City and Lianbo City, and further expanded his sphere of influence.
Looking at Lord Yunyang, who has been unwilling to retreat for a long time, Li De, standing on the city wall, shook his head and said:
"When you are beaten, you must stand at attention, and Prince Yunyang is no exception. Father has this spare time to guard the city, so why not go back early and send a more capable envoy over to negotiate."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left without seeing Lord Yunyang's reaction. Lord Yunyang, who was afraid to do anything before, is even less likely to do something like a dog jumping over the wall after the dust settles. Since Lide revealed in his words that this matter can be resolved through negotiation, Lord Yunyang will never pin his hopes on force suppression superior.
When the troops were withdrawing, Lord Yunyang frowned, sat on his horse and turned around to look at Lianbo City.
Li De's figure had disappeared, but Lord Yunyang still said to himself:
"Why is it you..."
He didn't go on talking, his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger that couldn't be concealed, he shook the reins fiercely, and went back to Lingyun City.
…
…
…
Li De saw his elder brother again in Yuxi City.
The difference is that last year in Lingyun City, he tried his best to escape from the hands of his father and brother. With a small family property that he earned, accompanied only by Alaiya, he traveled a long distance to Yunyang's most dilapidated Yuxi City to take up his post. In the east is Li Neng, the number one licking dog, in the west there are demons who come to fight the autumn wind twice in three days, in the north there is Yunyang's sworn enemy Zhaochen, and in the south there are Yunhai merchants who want to squeeze his wallet dry.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
All of Li Neng's fiefdoms belonged to Li De's command, and the King of the East of the Demon Race also signed a treaty of friendship with Yuxi City. Not to mention the north and south sides, Baihuang, one of the phoenixes in the sea of clouds, is now serving as the chief inspector in Yuxi City, and the thirteenth daughter of Lord Zhaochen was even dug up by Li De with a hoe.
So what did Li Yi do this year
He became the son of Yunyang as he wished.
Other than that, no more.
When he was in the capital, he listened to the tricks of Kaiya, Noren and others, and tried to find trouble with Li De over and over again, and even let Li Neng seize the time to launch a sneak attack when Li De was not in Yuxi City. This time, he also promised Yunyang's benefits to Kaia and Noren in exchange for their support, completely ignoring the huge losses this would cause Yunyang to suffer in the future.
He seems to have acquired a lot of things in the past year, identity, power, foreign aid, army... However, he never thought about a problem: if virtue does not match, there will be disasters.
Does he deserve it
Reunited again, Li De didn't look the same as before, he was still dressed in splendid clothes and looked like a dandy. Li Yi, who once pointed at Li De's nose and scolded "I want you to die, why don't you die", is now tied up and reduced to a prisoner.
Although he tried his best to show a posture that would rather die than surrender, his knees were shaking constantly, and his eyes wandered between Lied and Alaya. After the rag stuffed in his mouth was removed, Li Yi immediately said:
"Xian, Brother Xian, what are you doing? Brother Wei knows that you have always been jealous of me, but the identity of Yunyang Prince is already mine. Even if you kill Brother Wei, it is impossible for Father to let you do this My son, you should give up your heart! Besides, you are extremely stubborn and idle, Yunyang must not be destroyed by your hands!"
Lide looked at him for a while, sighed, and said:
"Hey, you said that you also look like a human being, why don't you speak human language."
Seeing his lazy and casual appearance, Li Yi felt a little more confident, and began to intensify his efforts:
"Brother, my brother is now the son of Yunyang, you have to think clearly! I know that you used your third brother to blackmail your father and made a fortune, and you also know that you plan to repeat the old trick and use it to cheat some money. But I advise you to be more respectful. If Feirog and Pettis were not incompetent, you would not even have the chance to talk to Brother Wei now. To put it bluntly, you are just lucky! With an identity like Brother Wei, even if you want to temporarily You must be served well when you are under others, I tell you, even if you lose a hair for your brother, you don't even think about explaining to your father."
Lide waited patiently for him to finish before walking forward with a smile and asking:
"Li Yi, do you know where this is?"
Li Yi sneered and replied:
"Isn't it Yuxi City? It's dilapidated, and it's just a city that I, Yunyang, can't even look up to!"
Lide raised his head, as if he was remembering something, and then looked aside.
There was something there covered under a black and red curtain.
"This is the Memorial Hall."
After saying these six words, Lide walked there slowly, pulled off the black and red curtain, and underneath was a gray-white stone tablet, engraved with one name after another on it, many of which were still stained with dark ink. Red blood. Li Yi frowned slightly, not knowing what Li De meant by showing him these things. When he was doubting, Li De turned around and said to him:
"Li Yi, the time when I most wanted to abolish your third-rate martial arts and directly beat you into a cripple was when you said in Lingyun City that you had had unreasonable thoughts about Alaiya."
Lide's voice was very calm, but there was a sense of coldness under the calm:
"And the time when I wanted to kill you the most was when I learned that Yuxi City was trying its best to resist the attack of the demons, but you led people to stab the knife in the back. Everyone who left their names on this stele, There was a chance to escape death, but because of you, they can only sleep here forever, and many people even have no bones left."
Li Yi still sneered.
Lide folded his hands in his sleeves and said to him:
"When I was in Skystar City, I knelt in the mourning hall and apologized to the soldiers who died because of me. Now, it's your turn to apologize to those who died because of you. I promised the people in the city that they would Justice for all the dead."
Li Yi spit out thick phlegm, originally he wanted to spit on the stele, but the distance was not enough, so he only spit on the ground in front of the stele.
Li Yi's voice was somewhat disdainful:
"Lead, you lost your mind and went crazy, let me apologize to these untouchables, I fucking—"
Li Yi hadn't finished speaking when Li De interrupted him. The latter looked as usual, and only said three words:
"Alaya!"
Alaya raised the sword in her hand and dropped the long sword [You Long], which had not yet been sheathed, slammed down, directly smashing Liyi's kneecap.
Accompanied by a pig-killing wail, Li Yi's body fell to his knees involuntarily, writhing on the ground like a bug. But he still refused to bow his head, staring at Lide with his red eyes, and said bitterly:
"How dare you, how dare you—"
Alaya hit him on the back again with a sword, shaking his internal organs to the ground, a mouthful of blood and the acid water in his stomach spit out on the ground, retching non-stop. He arched and stretched like a bean worm, moved on the ground with difficulty, kept making strange laughter, and comforted himself like crazy:
"You are finished, father will never let you go!"
Alaya took a step forward. She remained expressionless all the time. At this moment, she raised her unsheathed sword high, drew a perfect arc, and drew it on Li Yi's face, hitting the right half of his face high. Swollen, spit out two or three broken teeth one after another.
Li Yi finally collapsed, kowtowed like garlic while crying loudly.
Lide didn't bother to watch this scene anymore, tightened his coat, and walked out the door.
The outside of the door had long been blocked by people who didn't know when they gathered here. After Lide came out, everyone automatically gave way.
"I have done part of what I promised you."
Lide said as he walked:
"In addition to the villain who stabbed in the back, there are also demons who slaughtered our compatriots. This enmity will be settled one day."
After a short silence, the crowd was boiling, and the cheers went straight to the sky.
