Although Lin Yi was full of doubts at this time, he also knew that now was not the time to explore these things.

He stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am the best general of the 'Pengkou General', the Yulin Left Guard General Lin Yi, invited Sanshui County Magistrate and Li Xu, the ambassador of the North Guanzhong Road to fight against the thieves, to come forward and answer."

The personal soldiers under his command shouted in unison: "Li Xu stepped forward and answered! Li Xu stepped forward and answered! Li Xu stepped forward and answered!"

Hundreds of people shouted in unison, with extraordinary power, and the sound waves echoed between Cuiping and Fenghuang Mountains, which was indeed a bit shocking.

The ten thousand troops behind Lin Yi were arrogant and thought that this would definitely make the group of rural bullies on the other side dismay.

Lin Yi also had a sneer on his cold face, looking at the village Yongying opposite him condescendingly, wanting to see them appearing to be timid and ugly.

However, the performance of the Township Yongying Camp surprised him even more. Thousands of people still remained calm and did not even move. It seemed that they were all deaf people, turning a deaf ear to the shouts of hundreds of people.

This indifferent look made Lin Yi feel even more uncomfortable than arrogant.

For a person who has been extremely proud since childhood, what else can be more infuriating than ignoring him?

The wave of preemptive success that he created was not only ignored, but also ignored by thousands of country bumpkins, which magnified Lin Yi's sense of anger and shame thousands of times.

The ten thousand soldiers behind Lin Yi also looked ugly, and some of the anxious tempers even started to curse, shouting that they would use iron blood to teach these ignorant country bumpkins a lesson.

The generals also started to clamor and encouraged Lin Yi to order an attack, directly breaking through the blockade of the village Yongying Camp, and rushing into the camp to capture Li Xu.

Lin Yi raised his right hand and stopped the noise of the soldiers behind him. He shouted loudly with a gloomy face: "If there is another stick of incense, Li Xu will still not dare to show up. If you dare to block the army's way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, he waved his right hand, and the 10,000 troops behind him immediately bowed their hands, raised their arrows, and raised their spears and guns, posing in a murderous posture.

The face of the Township Yongying Camp remained unchanged. At the command of the star officer Zhao Husheng, he also raised his arrows and raised his swords and guns in a stance, and he acted like he would fight back immediately if you dare to take action.

Seeing that the Township Yongying Camp was actually posing as a tough stance, the atmosphere between the two sides became extremely tense and was about to break out.

No one dared to speak, and many soldiers' hands holding weapons were trembling slightly, but they could only try not to get out of trouble because of nervousness.

Everyone knows that once a person misses his arrow or yells, it may break the atmosphere and completely detonate the conflict between the two sides.

A big war was really inevitable at that time.

Within a few miles, there were only the heavy breathing of nearly 20,000 people and the uneasy sniffs of war horses on both sides. The atmosphere was so solemn that it could drip out of water, as if the air in this area seemed to have been pumped away, and many people felt breathless.

Lin Yi looked at the township camp opposite him who had no timid look at the trepidation. His heart, who was sure that they would not be able to withstand the pressure and took the initiative to retreat gradually sinks.

The time of an incense is fleeting. If the time comes, the other party still refuses to give in and Li Xu does not show up. Then he will be in a difficult situation.

If the troops were ordered to withdraw, it means that he had admitted defeat. The dignified general of the siege of the gang, and the Hou Linyi of Hanzhong, gave up to a small county lieutenant, and the sixth-rank captain Zhongxian.

In that case, as the commander of the first army, as the general of the left guard of the Yulin, as the legitimate son of the Duke of Ning Guo, and as the "Qilin Son of the Lin Family" personally named by the emperor's imperial pen, all the glory and pride of him will be gone.

That was something he could never afford, and it was also something that the Lin family could not afford. The ten thousand soldiers following him could not afford it.

But if you refuse to admit defeat, can you really order a war?

Even if he is sure that his 10,000 troops can win, what is the point of winning this way?

I came to suppress the bandits and suppress the rebellion, not to join the local village camp.

Even if all the brave camps in Sanshui County and Township were killed, there would be no honor at all. They would also completely offend the Song family, causing countless troubles to the Lin family and causing countless storms.

It is even possible that the thief army may even take the opportunity to make a comeback due to both sides' losses, which further triggers drastic changes in the border situation.

All the consequences were also unbearable for him.

In such a dilemma, Lin Yi hated Li Xu to death, feeling that he should obey his father's words and find a way to get rid of Li Xu early, otherwise there would be no such embarrassing and embarrassing scene today.

This is true for Lin Yi, and so are the generals and soldiers behind Lin Yi.

They were originally clamoring to teach the country bumpkins the other side, but when they found that these timid and humble country bumpkins had completely ignored their threats and instead acted in a tit-for-tat manner, which made them fall into a collective situation.

To put it bluntly, the Yongying in Sanshui County and Township was just blocking the road, without open rebellion, and without actively attacking the imperial court to suppress the rebellion, just blocking somewhere.

Therefore, no matter how arrogant or domineering the imperial army is, there is no reasonable reason to kill them.

If this battle is really started, not only will it not be military merit or glory at all, but it may also make them lose their lives. If they die, there will probably be no pension, and they will even be ridiculed and scolded by the people of the world.

It's not cost-effective to measure it anyway.

So everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. The soldiers looked at the garrison commander, and the garrison commander looked at the garrison commander, and the garrison commander looked at the garrison commander and the deputy general.

I looked at the first level and finally looked at the figure that was still motionless in the front.

Lin Yi's face was as gloomy as water. He held the hilt of the sword hanging on his left waist tightly in his right hand, and the back of his fingers turned a little white due to extreme force.

The time for a stick of incense is about to be exhausted, and the incense lit in the hands of the personal soldiers next to him has burned to the last point, and the incense head is about to fall.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth tightly and slowly pulled out his waist bit by bit. His handsome face even became a little distorted due to anger and resentment.

He now hated Li Xu, the initiator of the situation where he was putting himself in a difficult situation. If it weren't for him, he would never have fallen into this most embarrassing, entangled and difficult situation in his life.

Li Xu, I remember you!

Today's affairs will be rewarded ten times and a hundred times in the future!

The more I thought about it, the more angry he became. Anger and resentment had gradually tilted the balance of rationality in his heart, and the waist knife in Lin Yi's hand was pulled out bit by bit.

When the knife is completely out of the sheath and slashes into the void, today will be the ending of death.

For a person who is extremely proud, his heart gradually tends to preserve his majesty and glory and continue to maintain his pride.

The soldiers watched the waist knife in Lin Yi's hand pull out bit by bit, and ten thousand nervous and depressed hearts were hanging little by little.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Although Lin Xu didn't know what was going on, he suddenly relaxed. The pulling waist knife was inserted back into the scabbard, turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

As soon as this sentence was said, the depressing and dull atmosphere between the two armies seemed to be much more relaxed. Countless Imperial Guards all breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the weapon was loosened a little.

The air that was pumped from the entire area seemed to be back in place.

Lin Yi suddenly felt very grateful to the cavalry who came suddenly. No matter if he brought news, even if it was bad news, he would reward him well after turning back.
