Instantly, Leng Yu’s face turned somewhat forlorn.

It was rare for Lin Yi to return, but unexpectedly, he had to leave again after such a short time, and this time it might be several days. How could she not think of him during this period?

It was precisely because of this that her complexion became so poor.

Lin Yi naturally knew this, and could see the change in her expression, but he also felt a bit helpless.

Not to mention that he only felt sibling affection for her, even if there were romantic feelings, it shouldn’t be involved here.

After all, these tasks are of utmost importance, and they must not be influenced by personal affections.

Although Leng Yu felt extremely reluctant in her heart, she still maintained a good facade.

The sorrowful look flashed by, and she swiftly began to execute Lin Yi’s instructions.

Thus, Lin Yi took the old man directly back to the Zhao Country camp.

When they landed, everyone had already changed their attitudes towards us, especially when they saw Lin Yi, who was now considered more like an immortal.

There was no choice, as Lin Yi’s previous actions had thoroughly deterred them.

Of course, they were also exceptionally respectful to the old man, as, in their view, anyone with an immortal was not ordinary.

Even if he’s not their Grand General, he must be a significant figure.

So, after Lin Yi briefed the old man, he began to take action.

It must be said, the old man’s execution ability was very strong, perhaps it was closely related to his survival instinct.

After learning Lin Yi’s identity, the old man desperately sought to curry favor with Lin Yi and desperately showed off, afraid of being excluded by Lin Yi.

Being next to Lin Yi was simply his honor.

He even had the thought that if one day he achieved great feats, he wanted to ask Lin Yi if there was a way to achieve longevity.

If this immortal was delighted and granted him a longevity technique or tossed him an Immortal Pill, he would surely profit in life.

After all, having reached the old man’s status, nobody is fearless of death; they all want to live longer, especially holding power in their hands, which feels wonderful.

No one can resist the lure of power, not even the old man; his desire for power is even stronger. Without a good health, all of this is in vain.

The old man, despite having sufficient capability now, already felt his twilight years approaching; he feared he wouldn’t be able to walk on the battlefield in a few years.

As a Military General losing the ability to traverse the battlefield, he loses his final worth; such a person would not be favored by the ruler nor reused by the ruler, only awaiting retirement.

At that time, without military power, everything is in vain, everything is futile.

The old man was unwilling to do so; moreover, he had no talents in hand to take over his role, meaning his offspring were not fit to assume the position of Grand General. His best son was merely a small captain.

If he were to become Grand General, it would take only one battle to wipe them all out.

That was the entirety of his family’s strength. Now, their family completely relied on him; if he were to step down, his family would instantly decline.

After all, the officialdom is extremely indifferent; as the saying goes, "When a person leaves, tea grows cold," which is perfectly apt for the officialdom.

Under the old man’s arrangement, the seventy thousand troops were quickly mobilized.

First, those captains were persuaded, and then began to spread the word of Lin Yi’s methods and identity.

Using this opportunity to thoroughly change the mindset of this army, the seventy thousand troops were effectively brainwashed.

Currently, in their hearts, they just wanted to serve the immortal, to risk their lives for this high and mighty immortal.

Moreover, according to the old man’s promise, these people were due for great rewards later, meaning as long as they followed the immortal, they would have no worries about food or clothes, and military pay would be guaranteed.

Moreover, since Lin Yi deliberately instructed earlier, these people, when conveying orders, specifically emphasized that after breaching the city, they must not harm civilians, must not infringe upon any civilian.

They were also prohibited from seizing any lands or goods from immigrant civilians.

If someone else said this, these people would have scoffed.

It’s a joke, what is the purpose of fighting?

Isn’t it for the looting and pillaging after breaking the city?

Only in this way can they obtain the wealth they desire.

If these were canceled, what would be the point in warfare?

However, these words were coming from Lin Yi now.
