Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 138: Survival in the Ancient World (7)

"Tie Niu, clean up the scene and confiscate all those war horses." Lin Yu's voice floated over from afar.

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly body of the deputy general of Mo Nan Kingdom suddenly trembled, a blood mist spurted out from his throat, and his body fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a cloud of dust.

Zhang Tieniu swallowed and responded: "Yes, lord." But the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yu was particularly bright.

The people in Longhu Village hiding in the jungle were already stunned by Lin Yu's skills. When they saw the burly Hu deputy general fall to the ground, they all shuddered and almost popped their eyes out.

Not to mention Zhang Chenghu and Zhang Chenglong. After one round of fighting with the Hu man, they had already figured out the opponent's strength. The man was not inferior to themselves in strength. Although they had spent a lot of effort to resist the arrows before, if anyone said that he could be killed in a few breaths, the two brothers would definitely think that this person was bragging. But now it has actually happened before their eyes, and this result is somewhat difficult to accept.

For Lin Yu, plans cannot keep up with changes. When he arrived here and saw the confrontation between the two sides, he asked the sixty people who followed him to disperse and take up positions, with flags raised, making it impossible to tell how many soldiers there were.

Now he has killed the Hu general of Mo Nan Kingdom in front of everyone in Longhu Village. Isn't this a good opportunity to take over Longhu Village!

"Brother, that man is coming." Zhang Chenghu touched Zhang Chenglong's arm and looked at Lin Yu, who was walking slowly towards him with a sword, with vigilance.

Zhang Chenglong withdrew his gaze from the fallen Hu corpse and looked at Lin Yu. At this moment, he suddenly felt that although there was only one person, the oppressive feeling was overwhelming, giving Zhang Chenglong the feeling of facing a large army. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the spear and looked at the newcomer with vigilance.

Lin Yu, sword in hand, strolled leisurely to a distance of two feet from the Dragon and Tiger Village and stopped. He glanced sharply at the bandits who were facing a formidable enemy and asked, "Who among you is the head of the Dragon and Tiger Village? Come out and answer me."

Hearing this, Yan Ping, Li Cunshu and the others who followed behind him broke into a cold sweat. Their lord had no sense of self-awareness in going deep into the enemy's territory alone against a group of powerful bandits. It made people feel that the people standing before Lin Yu were not bandits, but a mob. However, thinking of Lin Yu's aura and ability to defeat thousands of enemies alone, they put their minds at ease.

Zhang Chenglong didn't feel the slightest bit of displeasure at Lin Yu's arrogant and rude words. Even the thought of challenging him to a duel vanished without a trace due to his terrifying aura and skills. There was no comparison at all.

Although he was somewhat reluctant and wanted to rely on his fists to make his point, Zhang Chenglong was a man who knew the current situation since he was the leader of Longhu Village. "I am Zhang Chenglong, the leader of Longhu Village. May I know who you are?"

Lin Yu looked at the burly man in front of him with great satisfaction and said "not bad." But the smile on the corner of his mouth made Zhang Chenglong feel creepy. He always felt that the other party came here with great intentions today.

"I am the new mayor of Daliang City, Lin Yu."

"The new city lord? What kind of official title is this? Shouldn't it be the prefect or county magistrate? Has the plague in Daliang City receded?" Zhang Chenglong asked with a frown.

"There will be one in the future. Besides, whether it exists or not is just a matter of the next sentence." Lin Yu did not answer clearly. You should recruit this person under your command first, whether it is true or not.

"I wonder what brings you to my Dragon and Tiger Stronghold?"

Lin Yu said, "I heard that many of the people in Longhu Village were originally from Daliang City. The two leaders also left Daliang City. Now that Daliang City has experienced famine and plague, it is in a time of need for reconstruction. I think you two don't want to see the place where you grew up go to waste."

Seeing the two men's pensive expressions, Lin Yu continued, "I came here today for this sole purpose. I also ask Master Zhang to prioritize the people's livelihood in Daliang City and return to Daliang City."

Zhang Chenglong frowned, clearly weighing the implications of Lin Yu's words. His younger brother, Zhang Chenghu, was more forthright and couldn't help but interject, "You want us to submit to you and help you rebuild Daliang City?"

Lin Yu smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "That's right. You've been wandering around for many years. Why don't you return to your homeland and work together for development? I can guarantee that as long as you surrender and build our homeland with me, everything in the past will be forgiven. Of course, I don't think all the brothers in this village have voluntarily become bandits. If you don't want to live a life of fighting and killing, I also welcome you to return to Daliang City and settle down. Of course, those of you who want to join the army to make a living are also welcome."

"Hmph! You talk nicely, but how can you make us believe it? These more than a dozen divided countries, big and small, have been fighting for years. What can you do even if they surrender to you? It's just another so-called leader vying for hegemony over the world." Zhang Chenghu stared at Lin Yu unwillingly and said in a muffled voice.

"Chenghu. Shut up and stop talking nonsense." Mr. Ji's face changed when he heard this, and he slapped Zhang Chenghu hard.

He had seen that the new lord of Daliang City was a formidable figure. From the way he had single-handedly annihilated the Hu cavalry in a matter of seconds, beheaded the enemy general with a single sword strike, and his unspoken, intimidating aura, he had unknowingly seized the initiative in the negotiations. Everyone in Longhu Village was being led by him; this man should not be underestimated.

Lin Yu smiled: "You can only trust me." His eyes lit up when he looked at Mr. Ji who had just stopped Zhang Chenghu.

"Now that Daliang City is under my jurisdiction, I will absolutely not tolerate bandits in the surrounding areas. I've come here to be frank. My intention is to use courtesy before force. I deeply admire you two for your character. Despite being forced into banditry, you haven't done anything that harms the world. You are truly worthy heroes in these troubled times. I, Lin, hereby guarantee that I will not take a penny from the village's finances. You two can allocate everything as you please. However, if you two oppose me, I can only apologize. If we ever meet in battle, I'm afraid there will be no Dragon and Tiger Village left in this world."

"Hiss..." Zhang Chenglong, Zhang Chenghu, Mr. Ji and others breathed heavier when they heard this.

It is undeniable that this man named Lin Yu is very powerful and strong, and he killed so many Hu cavalrymen by himself, but hearing the other party's light threats also made these big men feel a little guilty.

After a long while, Zhang Chenglong finally said, "If you want us to surrender to you, that's fine, but you have to defeat me with the spear first. If you can do that, I, Zhang Chenglong, will bring all the brothers from Longhu Village to surrender to you without hesitation and serve you as our leader."

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows. This was a way for Zhang Chenglong to save himself. Although he could see that he was unwilling, he also understood that this man had some foresight. His strength was strong enough to make them feel afraid, and he also knew that his threat was not an exaggeration.

"Oh?" Lin Yu glanced at Zhang Chenglong and Zhang Chenghu and said with a smile, "That's good. I heard that although you two were hunters before you became bandits, you were also top masters in Daliang City. I'd like to see how brave you two are."

Zhang Chenghu and Zhang Chenglong were shocked when they heard this. "What? You mean you want us to go together?"

Lin Yu nodded, and the two looked at each other and nodded: "In that case, I'm sorry for the offense."
