Since the inexplicable failure of the counterattack, Lin Feiyun has completely become an idle person. Gongsun Yi first removed the position of the old general - he had no complaints about this, after all, it was an indisputable fact that he had defeated the war - and later he had to imprison Lin Feiyun. Fortunately, he had a good reputation in normal times, and many ministers finally successfully dissuaded the emperor on the grounds that he was old.

Although he escaped the prison, Lin Feiyun was unable to enter the court again. So although the propaganda of the Western Continental Alliance seemed strange and had ulterior motives, the old general could only watch it. It was not until a close friend secretly reported to him that Gongsun Yi planned to attack the adventurer camp that he was shocked and hurriedly launched his actions. The first step was to try to rescue Grana and Yuchi Mu who had just entered the city.

Originally, Lin Feiyun only hoped that the adventurers could reduce their losses through the news of these two people, but the result of the battle made him lie on the floor and look for glasses everywhere. However, the veteran general also knew very well that it was not the time to feel glad. Gongsun Yi openly launched an attack on the alliance's forces this time, and coupled with all the strange actions before, the veteran general finally had some suspicion.

After Gongsun Yi used the teleportation array to play an unknown missing drama and then returned safely, the emperor changed his entire body.

It was said that he was missing, but everyone knew that Gongsun Yi just wanted to leave the Ming Empire's military and civilians who were struggling to fight and fighting and flee alone. But it was obvious that the opposite side of the space gate was not the place that the emperor had expected, so he could only run back in shame. However, only God knows what happened in the middle.

If Gongsun Yi met a demon after teleportation and was brainwashed by the opponent's mind control spell, the situation would not be too bad - this thought was just emerging in Lin Feiyun's mind and was thrown out, but what was happening now made the old general think of it again.

However, Gongsun Yi has already used all kinds of bloody means to consolidate his power as firm as Mount Tai. Even if Lin Feiyun has doubts about him, he cannot investigate. As long as he shows a little bit of intention to target the emperor, those secret spies loyal to Gongsun Yi will immediately come to the door under the names of sending express delivery, water check meters, warmth, etc. to invite Lin Feiyun back for tea. Given the current situation of his clay Buddha crossing the river, the helpless old general finally had to choose to remain silent.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to use the power of the Western Continental Alliance to step down the wrong emperor. But Lin Feiyun dared not take this risk if he was seized by the other party.

The only good news in a bunch of bad things is to confirm that Yuchi Mu is still alive. However, this young man may have chosen to serve in an official position because he was favored by a country in the alliance. He has cut off all relations with the Ming Empire, which made Lin Feiyun feel a little regretful. If his favorite disciple did not join the alliance but returned to the Ming Empire, it would not be difficult for the two to work together to resolve the current crisis.

But there is no if.

Just when the veteran general was worried about gains and losses, the alliance took the lead in taking action.

After the New Year, Lin Feiyun, who was removed from his post, lived his old age leisurely today just as he had been a few days ago. He was planning to go to the teahouse in the morning to spend some time filling his stomach, but he didn't expect to meet a large group of fully armed soldiers as soon as he went out.

Of course, these soldiers were not sent by secret spies to invite the old general to the palace for tea. They drove the pedestrians to both sides and out of the road, and even an innocent wild cat who wanted to go to the trash can across the road was not spared. They slid straight up and threw it a few meters away.

Lin Feiyun couldn't help but walk to a soldier and asked him, "Little brother, what's wrong? Is there anyone going to pass by later?"

The soldier looked at Lin Feiyun without saying anything. Instead, the captain in the middle of the road found the old general and hurriedly came to him: "Ah, Old General Lin, have you been living these good days?"

"Of course it's great. I'm already at retirement age, and it's time to relax." Lin Feiyun gently stroked his white beard and smiled. "After that being said, is there any big shot coming today?"

"Ah, that." The captain leaned over to Lin Feiyun's ear and whispered, "I heard that the Western Continent Alliance will send an imperial princess to visit today, and people will use some magic props to broadcast the entire Western Continent live, which makes the scene very big. We can't lose here, right? So it's like this now."

Suddenly he was attacked maliciously and did not directly retaliate but took diplomatic measures. As a pure soldier, Lin Feiyun was suddenly a little confused, and finally attributed the reason to the fact that the alliance was not damaged during the attack, so he could maintain a peaceful mood.

"So that's it." Lin Feiyun nodded calmly and said, "Then I'll wait here to watch the fun. You don't have to accompany me, the old man, to do it first."

The captain did have a lot of work to do, but he didn't refuse after hearing this. He said goodbye to the old general and left in a hurry.

Are you a princess from a certain empire? For some reason, Lin Feiyun's mind suddenly appeared in his heartless and unruly figure of Alicia showing off her welfare and playing daily life. She quickly shook her head hard.

If that girl is really the naughty princess who often snatches the beard of an elderly minister in fairy tales, then she can be 100% sure that there are any huge shortcomings in the alliance, or the education system of this empire, in some aspects.

At least, they missed a course called "On the Importance of Cultivation and Integrity"...

In the luxurious carriage led by two white and black horses provided by Alicea, Grana, who was guarding Sophia, suddenly sneezes for no reason.

"What's wrong, Grana?" Sophia, who was looking out the window, asked strangely, "Is this a cold? In my impression, you must have never before?"

"...Your Highness, are you questioning that my IQ is on the same level as the fairy named Qiluno?" Grana rubbed her nose with black threads. Her face was full of innocent expressions.

The pink princess half-hiddenly smiled with a folding fan, then calmed down and said seriously: "No kidding. Now, what do you think Alicia is making?"

"You mean that she asked His Highness Locklepus to be responsible for filming and broadcasting the entire process of visiting the Ming Empire, right?" Grana frowned and hugged her arms, "I don't know very well what that girl is thinking about. Isn't it okay to just change someone like this? You must know that this trip comes with huge risks. If you accidentally get a gun, you will get fire. If you have our protection, let's not talk about it. There are no experts around His Highness Locklepus, if you are in a melee..."

"Maybe Locklep finally changed his cynical habits because of his love with a certain black-haired girl. He planned to do a big career, so he set his sights on his sister's emperor throne, but Alicia was not a good deal. He immediately responded to this. He was ready to use this opportunity to secretly create a problem and deliberately provoke conflicts. He used the hand of the Ming Empire to get rid of her biological brother to ensure her own status - what do you think of this development?"

After Sophia finally breathed enough, Grana, who was sweating in cold sweat, decisively gave the pink princess a thumbs up: "Your Highness, you are really not an ordinary black man."

"Thanks to praise." The beautiful pink-haired girl nodded gracefully with a smile.

Seeing this, Grana couldn't help but get angry.

Yuchi Mu, who was wrapped in armor and dressed as a guard knight, came to the carriage and raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly. After the two women were focused, they spoke lightly through the window: "The gate of Baoqing City has been opened. Ming Jun also showed off to greet him. Please prepare for them."

Sofia gently shook the folding fan: "Can you be sure that the other party didn't mean to attack us?"

"I can't be sure." Yuchi Mu shrugged helplessly, "But the other party opened the city gate and put on an attitude of letting us in, instead of warmly welcomed it with live ammunition salutes as soon as they came up. It seems that the high-profile appearance prepared by Her Majesty for you is quite effective."

"Just as long as you don't want to welcome us in and close the door and beat the dog." Sophia pinched her nose with a headache and said, "After that, did the Ming Empire really agree to let so many of us enter the city?"

Alicia sent a total of 10,000 adventurers to show off for the Pink Princess, and stood densely outside the city, which looked very spectacular.

Yuchi Mu seemed to have thought of something, and snorted coldly and said, "Of course it is impossible. We can only bring a unit of 200 people in at most. Gongsun Yi has always been very careful about such things."

There are only two hundred people? Sophia couldn't help frowning when she heard this, but there was no way to do this. After all, this is someone else's territory: "Okay, then there are two hundred people. Mr. Billy, please help arrange it. Try to recruit volunteers from adventurers."

After a while, two hundred people selected escorted Sophia's carriage and drove slowly towards Baoqing City; the Ming army prepared real salutes instead of artillery, and arranged neat formations on both sides of the city gate amid the rumbling roar, and seriously welcomed the pink princess' entry into the city.

Locklepus and his photography team faithfully recorded everything in front of him and completely passed it on to the people on the Western Continent. Unfortunately, the first time I saw the Alliance people in the Ming Empire city did not have the intention of leisurely appreciating all kinds of scenery. Everyone was shocked by the attack on the New Year's Adventurer Camp by the Ming army; and the eyes of the citizens of Baoqing City in the camera were not very friendly, so everyone felt very nervous.

"Take a deep breath, Princess." Grana said calmly to Sophia, "Your breath is in chaos. Please adjust it in time. Don't worry, before the Ming Empire officially declares war on the alliance, the New Year's Eve attack can only be considered an armed conflict at best, and both sides will not become enemies. At least not yet..."

The pink princess followed the maid's advice and took a few deep breaths. After sorting out her mood, she picked up her folding fan again: "It's true. I didn't expect that I would be nervous and too shameless at this time. Grana, thank you. But how should we confirm that Emperor Gongsun Yi and the demon have collusion? You can't ask in person."

"About Mr. Billy, Illishia will give him all the tasks." The thief girl raised her hand and clenched her fists in her chest and cheered the pink princess with a smile, "We just need to do our own thing."

"That's right, that girl must have prepared some plan, otherwise she wouldn't use such a big hand easily." Sophia turned her head and turned her gaze outside the carriage and said. "Look, the citizens of Grana Baoqing City are indeed not very welcome as you said. Their eyes are very unfriendly."

"It doesn't matter, at least they are not so disgusted as if they are throwing tomatoes at us." Grana chuckled and said, "These people are just deceived. They are actually innocent victims. But Your Highness, if you are attacked here, the relationship between the two parties will never be repaired. I always feel that the guy named Gongsun Yi will deliberately cause something in the city, so please be mentally prepared."

Upon hearing this, Sophia couldn't help but use a fan to cover most of her face: "You're right. If Gongsun Yi really defected to the demon, he wouldn't be willing to see the Ming Empire have any contact with the alliance. But how should we deal with this kind of attack?"

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."

——————————————————————————————————————

Like other citizens, Lin Feiyun squeezed on both sides of the road and watched the fun. Since his residence was located in the downtown area, it can be said that the road Sofia was about to pass was almost close to the old general's house. Lin Feiyun was not surprised by this, because this road directly leads to Gongsun Yi's temporary palace, which was also the only way for him to go to court every day before he was dismissed.

Guided by a group of Ming cavalry, Sofia's convoy slowly appeared at the corner of the street. It immediately made the crowd stir. However, under the instructions of the soldiers responsible for the isolation, the crowd gradually became quiet; even a few guys who were rushing to the ground were quickly pointed back with muskets by the soldiers.

No one hopes that an accident will occur at this critical moment. Even the military and civilians of the Ming Empire do not want a new enemy out of thin air when the demons are at the moment. Therefore, although they are not friendly enough, they all act very cautiously.

In addition to the experienced Lin Feiyun noticed a team of people who deliberately wore their hats with a hurried look. They were mixed in the crowd and quickly walked into a roadside tavern that was obviously booked, which was clearly about taking some action. And looking at the other party's well-trained movements, they didn't seem to be half a bucket of water casually invited from the world.

Could it be that it was Gongsun Yi's person, is he really planning to break up with the alliance completely?? Lin Feiyun was shocked when he saw this. He was about to do something, but suddenly felt that something hard was pressed against his waist, so he had to tighten his body and stop his movements.

"Sorry, General Lin, please stay here and don't move." The voice of someone whispering from behind came from behind. It was the captain who took the initiative to talk to Lin Feiyun just now. "This is what Your Majesty mean, please don't blame me."

"Gu. Is this true?" Lin Feiyun turned around and looked at the other party suppressing his anger and said, "That guy Gongsun Yi is already crazy. Sooner or later he will lead the Ming Empire to destruction! Wake up, it's not too late to stop him now."

The captain did not speak, but the pistol that was pressed against the old general's waist was still not taken back.

Lin Feiyun was so anxious that he was almost sweating. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened at this time.

The main door where the tavern was locked tightly was kicked open, and then there was a fierce fighting sound from inside. A man with a straw hat on his back with a pissed nose and a blue-faced face disappeared from the inside, like a stray dog, was about to ask for help from the soldiers who noticed it, and a heroic boy with black hair came out from behind. He grabbed his collar without saying a word and walked back into the tavern.

"I dare to tease other girlfriends in broad daylight. I don't beat you today so much that I can't even recognize my own mother!"

When he arrived at the door, a heroic and mighty warrior-like red-haired girl came out from it, and kicked the man with tears in anger.

"You dare to take advantage of me. Today I seem to have to exercise my muscles and bones well."

The door of the tavern was closed, and various screams and beats came from inside again.

Fighting caused by disputes in the tavern is common in any country in the East and West Continent. Therefore, everyone just stared at everything in front of them indifferently, and then focused their attention on Sofia's convoy.

"How is this possible?" The captain obviously knew the inside story. Seeing this, he was shocked, "That is the guards exclusively of His Majesty. He can't even beat two of them? Who are they??"

At this moment, Lin Feiyun no longer knew whether he should cry or laugh. He knew this black-haired boy, who was the little girl of Alicia who was so compassionate and honest. Although the boy had pure Western blood, he had black hair, and his unique aura that could reduce his sense of existence, it was inconspicuous to stand in the crowd. As for the red-haired girl, who was a companion of Ilia, she had Eastern blood, so naturally she would not be suspected.

Obviously, the alliance or Alixiya expected the actions that Gongsun Yi might take and made corresponding arrangements for this in advance.
