Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

While Li Feng was investigating, Lin Yu and his team waited for the three girls to return, and also took the time to recuperate and rest.

Soon, the three girls arrived, dressed in marching clothes. Although they were a little ill-fitting, their determination and perseverance were evident. Lin Yu nodded in approval and immediately gave the order to set off.

After a short journey, the team arrived at an open area, which was the closest and best position to observe Fangcheng.

Lin Yu wanted to take a look at the gate of Fangcheng. He thought about the telescope in his treasure bag. Wouldn't that be useful? When the situation is not so urgent, he can summon more craftsmen to make glass. Then the telescope can be arranged. By then, each general will have one.

Lin Yu carefully surveyed the area through a telescope and was surprised to find that the flag flying on the wall of Fangcheng was not the symbol of the Ju Kingdom, but the wolf totem of the Mo Nan Kingdom. Obviously, Fangcheng had been occupied by the Mo Nan Kingdom.

As Lin Yu expected, Li Feng rushed back with the spies: "My lord, the situation in Fangcheng has changed. The city gates are closed and no one is allowed to approach. We can't go in to investigate, but we saw a group of soldiers leaving the city and dragging several bodies to a nearby mass grave. I asked He Lin to follow them quietly."

After hearing this, Lin Yu said, "Wait a little longer and see if He Lin finds anything. The rest of you should stay hidden and rest. Fangcheng should be controlled by the Mo Nan Hu people."

Zhang Chenglong exclaimed in disbelief: "My lord, how is this possible! Fangcheng is also a border fortress. There are imperial garrisons and a hundred thousand troops stationed there. It's not a place that can be abandoned like Daliang City. They, the Mo Nan Kingdom, shouldn't have given up Daliang City right away..."

Lin Yu also found it strange. After thinking for a while, he said, "You also said that Daliang City is a small border town. This Fangcheng can accommodate a hundred thousand troops. You can imagine that it is much more important than our place. They didn't come from there because of the plague and famine. If they come from Fangcheng, it will be a big problem. I just don't know if there is any agreement between the court and the Mo Nan Kingdom..."

"No way... Ju State, Ju State only has twenty cities now. The old emperor wouldn't be so foolish as to cede territory..."

Zhang Chenglong couldn't continue his words halfway. There was nothing he could do. The facts were there, and they didn't know whether the Wu State had dug up the ancestral tomb of the Ju State emperor. He didn't blame anyone else, but just stared at the Wu State. The key point was that the territory of the Wu State was half the size of that of the Ju State. So when he thought about it, this stupid emperor could really cede territory to stabilize the Mo Nan State.

After a while, He Lin hurried back carrying a bloody man on his back.

"He Lin, what is this?"

"My lord... quickly send someone to check if this man can be saved? I saw that he was still breathing, and heard the soldier say that he was some clerk. He is also an official, and I carried him back thinking he could be useful to my lord." He Lin said while panting.

Lin Yu quickly leaned over to check. This man had been severely tortured. The tendons in his hands and feet were torn, his scapula was pierced by the chain, and two of his ribs were broken. Throwing him into a mass grave was like leaving him to fend for himself.

He quickly stuffed a resurrection pill into the man's pocket and asked the accompanying military doctor He Shengrong to treat the man's wound.

"Cough... uh... cough cough." Seeing that the person had woken up and responded, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly: "Can you still speak?"

"You... who are you? I was saved? Ha, what's the point of saving me?"

"I'm from Daliang City. What's the situation in Fangcheng?"

"Daliang City? Isn't Daliang City extinct?"

Lin Yu was shocked. Was the news so secretive? Even though they were so close, spies had appeared in Daliang City. How could Fangcheng not know the general situation of Daliang City? Moreover, the bandit suppression near Daliang City was not hidden.

"Don't you know about the bandit suppression in Daliang City a few days ago?"

The man shook his head, took a few deep breaths, and said, "No matter who you are, as long as you are not from Mo Nan, run away quickly. Fangcheng has already belonged to Mo Nan, and the people inside will be slaughtered sooner or later."

"what happened?"

The man laughed bitterly, his voice full of sarcasm: "What's going on? The emperor is incompetent, and the ruler of a country colluded with foreign enemies just to compete with the monarch of Wu for a woman. He even ceded territory and tacitly agreed to the massacre of the people by the Mo Nan Kingdom in exchange for Mo Nan's support. Hahahaha..."

Lin Yu felt terrible. Did he travel into an ancient romance novel? How could an emperor let the entire country play along just to fight for a woman?

The man continued, "Do you know why there's famine? Oh, besides natural disasters, it's because of this woman. The emperor is licentious and immoral, leaving the people no chance of survival. She's attracted to the national treasures of neighboring countries, so the emperor sends men to rob them. If they can't seize them, he assembles a massive army to fight. With such an emperor in power, corruption reigns supreme, and the Ministry of War receives very little food and fodder. If it's not enough, they levy more, regardless of whether the country has it or not. If you don't give it to them, they rob you. To appease the Mo Nan Kingdom, she calls herself a grandson and forces them to pay tribute and grain. You can imagine why famine exists even in places not affected by disasters."

Good boy, Lin Yu finally understood why he felt that all the actions of the Ju State court were so hard to describe.

"Where is the governor of your Fangcheng?"

"Oh, there's no such thing as a prefect. Ever since the emperor fell in love with that woman, all the garrison troops and the 100,000 soldiers have been taken away by the emperor to fight against the Wu Kingdom. The prefect was originally a spy from the Mo Nan Kingdom lurking in the Ju Kingdom. He was invisible before, but when the Ju Kingdom tacitly agreed to cede Fangcheng, his true face was exposed. It's my fault that I didn't see it. I feel guilty towards the people..."

"..." Lin Yu really wanted to complain. Should he feel lucky? Daliang City was disliked by both sides, or should he complain about this messed up world.

"My lord, what should we do? If we make too much noise, it might alert the Mo Nan Kingdom. Then we will be attacked from both sides, which would be bad." Wei Liangyu said.

Lin Yu thought for a while and said: "Night attack. Pick a few skilled fighters to join me, and we will do a special decapitation operation."

"Yes, my lord."

"Lord? Are you going to rebel in Daliang City?" The man sat up suddenly and asked after hearing their conversation.

"Shouldn't we rebel? With such a foolish emperor, Daliang City would be destroyed. No, they've already abandoned us. We worked so hard to rebuild it. There's no reason to let others take advantage of us."

"Hahahaha...good...good. Good, good rebellion! As long as I, Han, live, I will watch the Ju Kingdom perish and the Mo Nan Kingdom be destroyed."

The man suddenly fell to the ground, mumbling incessantly. Lin Yu asked He Shengrong to take good care of him, gave him a severing ointment, and instructed He Shengrong to reconnect the man's tendons. Even if he couldn't do any heavy work, he could still handle a knife or a stick, and he could still write normally. This way, he could recruit another skilled worker, and Mr. Ji's life should be a little easier.
