367: Every penny that falls from the sky belongs to my Li family!

Outside Houjia Town,

“Sir, Lin Yue is a Viscount after all. Wouldn’t doing this be a bit inappropriate?” Chen Dubao, Commandant, the Commandant of Heyecheng, said, looking at the many villagers and merchants blocked outside.

He and Fan Changling, City Lord, the Lord of Heyecheng, were both connected to Lin Yue. What this lord was doing made things very difficult for him!

“My old man is a Count, what’s so great about a Viscount? Remember, this is Liaodong Commandery, he’s just a small Viscount and can’t turn the sky upside down!” Li Rupo said disdainfully.

Then, he inadvertently glanced at Chen Dubao, Commandant. He planned to send people to investigate whether Chen Dubao, Commandant had any connection with Lin Yue, otherwise, why would he always speak up for him?

“Exactly, second brother is right. They don’t even look at whose territory this is.

Who doesn’t know that every copper coin that falls from the sky in Liaodong Commandery belongs to my Li family!” Li Rumei also laughed along.

Chen Dubao, Commandant was stunned by these words, then lowered his head and laughed awkwardly.

“Xiao Wu, you shouldn’t speak carelessly,” Li Rupo said with a smiling “reprimand.” “Our Li family owes its current position to His Majesty. Liaodong Commandery also belongs to His Majesty, you can’t say that.”

Li Rumei laughed loudly upon hearing this:

“Second brother is right, This humble general spoke out of turn.

Every copper coin that falls from the sky in Liaodong Commandery belongs to His Majesty first. If His Majesty doesn’t want it, then it belongs to our Li family!

But even if our Li family doesn’t want it, it won’t belong to him, a mere small Viscount!”

“Haha, well said, well said. This is our territory, merely a Viscount’s Fief. Besides, I’m not even inside his Fief. We’re training the Army outside his Fief, which can also deter the petty scoundrels in the surrounding area.” Li Rupo laughed. He deliberately chose a spot outside Lin Yue’s town, so that no matter whether it was for public or private reasons, they couldn’t do anything to him!

Qin Law didn’t stipulate that sounds couldn’t enter a Viscount’s Fief. Moreover, his target wasn’t just Lin Yue, but also these merchants!

“Right, that fellow Lin Yue spoke disrespectfully before, showing contempt for our Liaodong Commandery’s Garrison Army. Second brother, you are a magnanimous man and overlook his minor transgressions, helping him maintain order. Lin Yue should even thank you!” Li Rumei echoed.

Chen Dubao, Commandant broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. This was a battle between immortals, and he, a small Soldier, was caught in the middle and suffering!

He could see that Li Rupo was angry, but he didn’t know why he was directing his anger at Lin Yue.

“Second brother, you were transferred here by father from Ping City, so what about my Sister-in-law?” Li Rumei suddenly asked with a smile.

“She will arrive tonight.

However, Xiao Wu, you are still young. If you want to advance in Martial Power, remember to abstain from women. Although this matter is good, do not get too deeply involved.” Li Rupo said with a smile, but his face carried a hint of melancholy.

He and Qi Ya truly loved each other, but his father always refused to let Qi Ya marry into the family. After his six-month house arrest ended, Qi Ya only managed a quick meeting before he was transferred to Xinchang County to serve as a Captain, completely separated from Qi Ya.

However, thanks to his maneuvering, Qi Ya would arrive here tonight, and he could finally spend a night of passion with her!

And it just so happened that he had discovered Lin Yue’s Fief earlier. He would have to operate carefully to secretly acquire some money!

In his opinion, although Lin Yue was a Viscount, the gap between him and a Count was more than just a little. His father had walked that path for twenty years to reach it.

Lin Yue had only gotten lucky to be enfeoffed as a Baron, and although he later became a Viscount for some unknown reason, even if he were General Meng Tian’s illegitimate son, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to Count within a year!

One must know that he was only a small Soldier in Heyecheng, and had only been transferred to the Great Wall Legion for about a year.

And his Li family had been cultivating power here for nearly twenty years!

Furthermore, his elder brother, Li Rusong, was promoted from Colonel to General in the Xianyang Garrison Army a few days ago. He could be said to be a rising star, with unlimited potential. How could he be afraid of Lin Yue?

“Give the order, make the momentum even greater!” Li Rupo roared, thinking of this. He wanted to make others stay far away from Lin Yue’s Fief, first cutting off his financial resources!

“Understood!” Li Rumei said with a cold face, riding his horse forward, and lashed his whip across the face of a Commandant.

“Slap!”

A crimson whip mark appeared on the Commandant’s face, but he showed no reaction.

“Didn’t you eat? Louder!” Li Rumei shouted.

“Understood!” The struck Commandant replied.

This scene startled Chen Dubao, Commandant, who was nearby. This Li Rumei, only fourteen or fifteen years old, a mere Centurion, was already so ruthless, daring to treat a Commandant like this. This Liaodong Commandery had truly become the Li family’s backyard!

He was now wavering. He and Fan Changling, City Lord, the Lord of Heyecheng, were both connected to Lin Yue. Looking at the situation, it could be said to be unfavorable to both of them. After all, Lin Yue was far away in the northwest, while the Li family was the local power in Liaodong Commandery.

Should he reconsider this matter?

“All of you, make it louder!” The Commandant turned around and vented his anger on the Soldiers, shouting furiously, “Make the warhorses run! The County Commandant wants you to be louder!”

Meanwhile, another Commandant in the distance swallowed hard when he saw this scene, then turned and shouted at the Soldiers behind him, “All of you, pay attention! Not even a single fly is to be let in!”

“Understood!” The Martial General in front of him replied, then they all ran backward.

Just then, Li Rupo had arrived beside him. The Commandant, seeing him, was startled and quickly bowed in salute, “Young Master!”

“Hmm, don’t blindly drive away merchants. See if there are any suitable ones among them.” Li Rupo said with a hint of meaning.

The Commandant immediately understood. This young master was still the same as when he was a child, full of tricks, not changed at all!

Then he smiled and said, “Understood, Young Master! This humble general will definitely look carefully!”

“Hmm, do it discreetly.” Li Rupo instructed.

“Understood!” The Commandant replied.

“Oh, and don’t call me Young Master anymore. In the Army, you should address me by my rank.” Li Rupo suddenly remembered what his father had told him and said to this Li family retainer.

“Understood, Young Master!”

The Commandant then personally went to look for targets, leaving Li Rupo with a black expression on his face.

But just then, the ground trembled slightly. Li Rumei saw this and laughed loudly:

“Right! Just like that! Make the momentum even greater!

I want to scare the people of their small town out of their wits!

I want to make sure no one dares to stay in Lin Yue’s Fief. Let’s see how arrogant he can still be!”

“Understood!” The Commandant replied, turning his head and shouting, “Make the momentum even greater!”

But soon he noticed something was wrong. Why was the formation in disarray?

“Don’t break formation! How do you usually train? Are you asking for trouble?!” The Commandant angrily said.

But the next moment, the Xinchang County Garrison Army directly scattered!

At the same time, they dispersed to the left and right sides!

Both men were stunned on the spot.

The next moment, about ten or more riders charged out from the midst!

The approaching individuals were not wearing armor, but they easily pierced through their formation of over twenty thousand men!

Li Rupo also looked in that direction at this moment. He recognized Lin Yue among them at a glance!

“When did he come back?” Li Rupo thought to himself.

But these things were no longer important. He suddenly sneered, then ordered the hundred household retainers around him, “Go, kill the leader!”

He wanted to take this opportunity to directly kill Lin Yue. Attacking the Great Qin Garrison Army without cause,

Even if he truly was General Meng Tian’s illegitimate son, he would die in vain today!

“Yes, Young Master!” The hundred riders responded!

Then they charged towards the scattered Army and the dozen or so riders!
