Is Wang Shide planning to invade Nanjun?
The thought flashed across my mind.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not entirely impossible.
Although Lin Yi has now taken over Nanjun, his foothold is not yet secure. If Wang Shide wants to take over Nanjun, this is indeed a good opportunity.
Moreover, Wen Ruoxu was his son-in-law, so his reasons for standing up for his son-in-law were perfectly valid.
Despite his shock, Xu Shengchao also breathed a sigh of relief for Wen Ruoxu.
In any case, now that he was on his father-in-law's territory, Wen Ruoxu's life was finally saved.
From this day forward, if the two sides ever meet again, they will be mortal enemies who will fight to the death!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Shengchao stood directly beside Lin Yi, unleashing his full aura to confront the opponent.
In contrast, Lin Yi himself remained calm and unhurried.
"Steward Wang, you seem to be in such high spirits, are you out hunting with your men?"
Wang Shide laughed heartily: "We can hunt anytime, but we have important business to attend to today."
Lin Yi raised his eyelids slightly: "What important matter is it?"
"Let me be frank, we're here for you."
As soon as Wang Shide said this, the atmosphere between the two sides immediately became tense.
Xu Shengchao's heart tightened.
He believed in Lin Yi's strength, but Wang Shide was able to suppress Zhongjun for a hundred years, so he was definitely a formidable and powerful figure.
Today's actions were clearly premeditated, and relying on their superior numbers, they are highly likely to take a dangerous gamble.
Lin Yi casually retorted, "Is it aimed at me or at Wen Ruoxu?"
Wang Shide laughed and said, "A small part of it is also for his sake. After all, he is my son-in-law. I hope that Steward Lin will spare his life for my sake."
"You certainly have a lot of influence."
Lin Yi remained noncommittal: "What about the other half?"
Wang Shide's expression immediately turned serious: "The other half will fall on Steward Lin."
No sooner had these words been spoken than a hundred powerful auras swept in from the direction of Nanjun, revealing Shang Tianya leading a group of core combatants to arrive in force.
The aura of the experts from Zhongjun was immediately suppressed.
While Zhongjun is indeed well-established, Lin Yi's side has gathered the strength of both counties, and has recently recruited many experts, making it a formidable force.
At least on the surface, they clearly outshone Wang Shide.
The expressions of the people opposite immediately became serious.
Lin Yi said directly, "Steward Wang, you can speak frankly."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wang Shide suddenly cupped his hands and said, "On behalf of Zhongjun, I pledge allegiance to General Lin from this day forward!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment: "Is Steward Wang serious?"
"You have no joke!"
Wang Shide looked serious.
To be honest, Lin Yi was quite bewildered by this sudden turn of events.
For a long time, Zhongjun was a united front under Wang Shide's rule. Although he rarely made any moves to expand outwards, everyone knew that he was a true tyrant.
Even someone as powerful as Wen Ruoxu wouldn't dare to covet Zhongjun because of his existence. Instead, they would take the initiative to arrange a marriage alliance with him, acting as juniors.
If things proceed as planned, having successively captured Longjun and Nanjun, Lin Yi's next expansion direction will either be Liangjun or Zhongjun.
Given the strength of the Wang Shide Group, it can certainly make a move against them from any angle.
Who would have thought this would happen so suddenly?
Wang Shide solemnly said, "Steward Lin, there's no need to doubt. I'll swear to Heaven right now."
After saying that, he immediately swore an oath in front of everyone.
This whole thing has completely baffled everyone.
Lin Yi snapped out of his daze and immediately accepted the offer with a smile: "Steward Wang is very understanding and righteous. It is my honor to have Steward Wang's help."
Regardless of the circumstances, since they have already made the gesture, he has no choice but to agree, both morally and logically.
We can't just shut people out and not even give them a chance to surrender, can we?
Countless eyes in the sky are watching.
If they can't even tolerate Wang Shide, who came to them willingly, then they should think twice before joining them, especially those who come seeking their services.
Wang Shide's strategy was clearly an open conspiracy.
Lin Yi immediately realized that the other party was using flattery to kill him!
as predicted.
When the news of Wang Shide's defection to Lin Yi spread, the entire thirteen prefectures of the Divine Realm were in an uproar, even alarming the aristocratic families of Tianjun, who held an emergency meeting.
Lin Yiruo only took over Longjun and Nanjun. Although the commotion was not small, in the eyes of the Tianjun aristocratic families, it was nothing special and not enough to make them pay too much attention.
But now, having acquired Zhongjun for no reason, and suddenly possessing three counties on paper, is a completely different matter.
Once the integration is complete, Lin Yi Group will gain an overwhelming advantage over other competitors.
No matter which side faces him, they will be easily crushed.
In other words, without the intervention of a powerful external force, Lin Yi would have become a hot candidate for the next God Lord simply by relying on the territory of the three counties!
This is an existence that the Tianjun aristocratic family absolutely cannot tolerate.
With just this one move, Wang Shide directly pushed Lin Yi into the eye of the storm, thus forcing out the behemoth that was the Tianjun Family.
The powerful families of Tianjun are truly extraordinary, far surpassing any other county's influence.
From Lin Yi's perspective, the pressure was instantly immense.
The key point is that Wang Shide readily agreed on the surface, willing to unconditionally cooperate with Lin Yi in integrating the forces in Zhongjun.
As soon as they turned around, they immediately started making excuses and delaying things.
He doesn't forcefully disobey; he always agrees readily on the surface, but never follows through—he's all about stalling.
"What a hypocrite Wang Shide is!"
During an internal meeting, Shang Tianya was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.
He sent men into Zhongjun several times to take over several important passes, but they were all turned away by cryptic and ambiguous tactics, and he returned empty-handed.
Xia Qian frowned and said, "Wang Shide's plan is very clear. He wants to push the young master to the top, force the Tianjun aristocratic families to get involved, and then he will step in and reap the benefits after both sides are exhausted."
Gan Yuan laughed angrily, "No matter how clever his plan is, it still has to be put into practice. Does he really think we'll let him manipulate us?"
The rest of the core executives also looked resentful.
They are currently very proud and have unconsciously developed a condescending attitude towards Wang Shide. Now that they are being manipulated, they are naturally very unhappy.
On the other hand, Lin Yi, the person in question, remained calm and leisurely ate the dark shaved ice that Gan Niannian had developed.
To be honest, this thing has a rather sinister art style, but it is indeed a legitimate and delicious dish.
His current state of mind is much more peaceful than that of the others.
No matter how much the Tianjun aristocratic family stirs up trouble, with Yuan Chu and Cao Luoshen helping to mediate, as long as he doesn't do anything rash, the Tianjun aristocratic family shouldn't have to get involved themselves in the short term.
Lin Yi tapped the table: "The key now is to find a breakthrough. I think Wang Shide is a ready-made breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Shang Tianya was the first to express his agreement: "Young Master is wise. Since Wang Shide has entered into this game, he must be prepared to do the same."
