At this moment, Chu Tianhe finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Lord Li, we do have a request of you, but please don't go too far with some things."

Li Liancheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Highness, once this matter is done, it will have many impacts on me, and the implications are far more significant than you imagine."

Princess Yuye also raised her hand and said, "Lord Li, I know what you are thinking, but I hope you will not only look at the present, but also take a longer-term view."

Although Li Liancheng hesitated, he remained silent. As for what happened today, all that everyone knew was that Princess Yuyue had visited the Li family, and the next day the Second Prince was announced to have joined the Tiger and Leopard Camp as a commander of a thousand.

This news immediately attracted the attention of countless people, but even so, what can be done?

Some things, once done, leave no room for regret.

On the other side, after waiting for several days, Ning Ye was well aware that the other side was waiting for reinforcements to arrive. But while the other side was waiting for someone, he was also waiting for someone. As for whether the person he was waiting for would come or even appear, Ning Ye didn't know.

But even if the other side doesn't come, so what? He must defend this place to the death and not give the other side any chance.

As for asking Li Ruochen for help, Ning Ye never even considered it. After all, the border region had always been coveted by foreign tribes, and if something really went wrong, then everyone would be the true sinners for all time.

Two more days passed, and as the sun set on this day, Ning Ye suddenly noticed a black line stretching out from the horizon behind him, and it seemed that the person he was waiting for had finally arrived.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, the only person Ning Ye could turn to for help was that money-grubbing bastard, Yama.

Fortunately, this guy really had a good eye for money, otherwise he would never have appeared here. After all, it's already good that someone is willing to come in such a chaotic situation.

Yama has always had his own unique force, consisting entirely of light cavalry. This is undoubtedly a significant fighting force, numbering in the thousands, making them a force to be reckoned with at any time.

The only reason this guy was able to come was because Ning Ye offered him so much money that he couldn't refuse, and he couldn't understand why he should refuse.

Ning Ye rode his horse directly to meet them. When he got closer, he realized that this was a truly fierce and ruthless army. Even though they had no discipline, they were absolutely capable of fighting on the battlefield.

Yama, naturally, was also riding a black steed. "Young Master Ning knew you needed someone, so I rushed over immediately. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Brother Yama is truly a man of his word. It seems that as long as the money is right, he'll do anything you ask."

Yanluo laughed and said, "That's not quite right. But how can infantry catch up with cavalry? Besides, the money Young Master Ning offered is enough to drive people crazy. They might even risk their lives for it."

Ning Ye's gaze swept over these people; each one of them was a bloodthirsty individual. It could be said that there wasn't a single good person among them, but it was precisely because of this that they were able to survive in the brutal competition of the environment.

"Thank you all for coming. I'll say this: if you're alive, you'll get three hundred taels; if you're dead, and you have family members, I'll give you five hundred taels with both hands."

A man with a face full of scars shouted, "Boy, don't bother. We people have never had any family. If I die, send the silver to town and give the people to those prostitutes."

These words immediately drew laughter from many people. "That's right, that's right. How could people like us be worthy of having families? As long as the money for the living is paid, and the young master can come, the knives in our hands are not to be trifled with."

"That's right, that's right. If, in addition to money, you could also give us gold, silver, jewelry, or beautiful women, we would be even happier."

Ning Ye said seriously, "Money is not important to you all, but I hope you can be honest and law-abiding and not do anything bad, otherwise we might end up fighting each other first."

Yanluo's expression also became stern. "You've embarrassed me as soon as you come out. Remember what I told you before. If anyone dares to break the rules, I will enforce the family rules."

Yama was highly respected among this group. After Yama spoke, everyone stopped joking and shut their mouths obediently.

After seeing that his men had behaved themselves, Yanluo turned to Ning Ye and said, "I brought these people for you, but if you don't prepare the money for me, you won't have a good time either."

Ning Ye nodded and said, "Brother Yanluo, rest assured, I always keep my word and never lie. I would like to ask you to set off now and circle around to the vicinity of Jiangyang City. If you see a large army passing by, please help me intercept their logistics."

"Oh, you brought me here just for this? That's a bit of an overkill, isn't it?"

"Of course not, Brother Yama. I hope you will keep an eye on things there until I send a message asking you to come back. I need, and I might even need, Brother Yama to help me bring someone back."

"That's all. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading off now."

Ning Ye nodded and said, "That's all. I will definitely deliver the money to Brother Yanluo after it's done. If I don't get this head, please take it, Brother Yanluo."

"Haha, alright, I'm relieved to hear that from you, Young Master Ning. But I'll give you at most half a month. After that, I'll leave regardless of whether I hear from you or not."

Ning Ye thought about it for a moment, and if Yanluo could really succeed, half a month would be enough time, so he immediately agreed.

After all, if the other side really brings a lot of people, it's uncertain whether I can keep them under control for half a month. Maybe I'll have to drop a bombshell on them beforehand.

Yan Luo and his group's movements naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the young prince. They hadn't expected Ning Ye to suddenly produce another cavalry unit from who-knows-where. Were cavalrymen so worthless these days?

Even if they discovered it, there's nothing the Crown Prince can do right now, because he's currently in a town that's heavily guarded. If Ning Ye launches another sneak attack, he'll suffer heavy losses, since Ning Ye doesn't have that many grenades left.
