Yang Lin laughed bitterly and shook his head, feeling sad in his heart. Leading such a group of broken soldiers to the battlefield was practically a country bumpkin disciple, which greatly hurt Youzhou Army's image and even made him laugh.
oriental person looked at the elite Chinese army, his eyes staring straight. From the Great Eastern King to the ordinary soldiers, all of them were shocked by the excellent equipment of the Han Army, especially the Great Eastern King and the tribal leaders. Their eyes almost burst with fire.
At night, the Great Eastern King Yin Guang entertained Yang Lin and the main generals of the Han army in his palace. Although the east was very poor, and the Imperial City could not be considered to be prosperous, Yin Guang's palace was actually very large, and actually could accommodate more than a hundred people to attend the so-called grand banquet.
oriental person's main dish was very simple, all the wild game was cooked in a pot, the only ingredient was salt. The pretty maids put the cooked game on a plate and carried it to each guest, who cut it with a knife.
The one who held the plate for Yang Lin was a young lady who looked very nervous. There seemed to be a trace of fear in her big eyes, and when she knelt down to place the plate down, her hands were still trembling slightly. Yang Lin's heart couldn't help but move as he stared at the little girl and smiled at her.
This little girl might be a newbie, or perhaps she had never seen such a big official before, nor had she ever seen a customer smile at her before. Yang Lin's smile scared her so much that she suddenly stood up, and accidentally touched Yang Lin's wine bowl with one hand. With a bang, the ceramic wine bowl broke into eight pieces.
”Damned slave!” Great Eastern King Yin Guang immediately scolded loudly with a stern face. Perhaps he felt that the girl who had embarrassed him in front of her guests was still resentful, but he waved his hand in anger and angrily ordered, ”Take her away.”
The little girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a thump, and immediately kowtowed. Her entire body was trembling like sieve chaff, and she spoke some words that Yang Lin and the others could not understand, but Yang Lin could tell from her expression that she was begging Great Eastern King Yin Guang for mercy.
”His Majesty the King, spare her. A wine bowl is no big deal, there's no need to get angry at a little girl! ” Yang Lin waved his hand and said indifferently. He hated people who were rude to their servants the most. What was it to be angry with so many people?
Great Eastern King Yin Guang was originally very angry, but when he saw Yang Lin's serious look, he did not dare not give Yang Lin face, and could only restrain the rage in his heart. He waved his hand at the little girl and scolded her impatiently, ”Get out of here.”
The little girl immediately kowtowed to Great Eastern King Yin Guang a few times, turned around and kowtowed to Yang Lin again. There were even words of gratitude from her mouth. He then got up from the ground, bowed, and left the hall.
The banquet continued. Everyone raised their cups and drank together. To the Chinese Army Generals, it was naturally difficult to swallow the earth wine made by himself. Yang Lin drank a few mouthfuls and felt like vomiting. Originally, the Han army had also brought fine wine with them, but thinking back to the scene just now, Yang Lin felt a little annoyed by these guys and did not want them to taste it.
Halfway through the alcohol, Great Eastern King Yin Guang clapped his hands and a few women immediately came up. Under the intense drumbeats, they started to dance happily. Yang Lin was curious, after looking at them for a long time, he gradually realised that these dances were just similar to the dances in Central Plains.
Just when everyone was enjoying themselves. Suddenly, Yang Lin heard a vague miserable scream coming from afar, it seemed to be from a woman. Yang Lin frowned, why would there be a scream in Yin Guang's palace? Moreover, this place would be his territory from now on. The peace and quiet of the people would be his responsibility.
”Why are you screaming like that?” Yang Lin put down his cup and turned to look at Great Eastern King Yin Guang. In truth, everyone present had heard the miserable wails, the leaders of the east side had already gotten used to it, so it was inconvenient for the Chinese Army Generals to talk anymore, only Yang Lin opened his mouth to ask.
Great Eastern King Yin Guang didn't know what was going on either. If it wasn't for Yang Lin personally asking this question, he would have pretended not to hear it. He turned around and glared at the servant beside him. The servant quickly turned around and ran towards the scream.
Not long after, the servant ran back, followed by a few tall and sturdy palace guards. One of the guards carried a maid in his hand, while the other soldiers carried a whip in their hands. Obviously, these guards were beating up this maid.
The maid turtle was curled up into a ball. It seemed like it was dying. Its screams became smaller and smaller like the cries of a chicken. The guard threw her to the ground. The maid struggled for a while before raising her head. Her large eyes were filled with fear as she said in a mosquito-like voice, ”Your Majesty, please spare me.”
Yang Lin immediately recognized that this maid was the one who had served him the dishes. The anger in her heart had been ignited. Didn't you already forgive her? Why did he still have to be beaten up? If he couldn't hear it, wouldn't he be beaten to death by them?
”His Majesty the King, what's going on?” Yang Lin was indeed a little angry, he stared at Great Eastern King Yin Guang, and spoke impolitely. I have already pleaded for his, and you beat her up like this. Who do you think I am? You all want face, and I don't want it?
