The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on Li Mu's face through the window, and the warm comfort was something he had never felt since he left Qinglan City.
After muttering to himself for a moment, a vendor's shout from outside the window pulled Li Mu out of his sleep.
Rubbing his groggy eyes, Li Mu found himself lying in the familiar wing of Deyue Tower. His head was still aching, and he carefully recalled the thrill of last night.
"I survived? How is it possible?"
Li Mu stretched out his hands in front of his eyes, pinched his face hard, and sat up with a shocked look on his face after confirming that this was not a dream.
Gongsun Qi's self-destruction was completely unexpected by anyone. The blood energy he had accumulated over the years had reached an incredible level. To explode at such a close range, Li Mu himself did not believe that he could survive it simply by relying on his body.
kind of ability.
"Is it my protagonist's aura? Immortality? Forget it, I don't know how long I have been unconscious. Hurry up and see Brother Liu and the others. Do you know if the imperial army has successfully taken over Lishui City?"
Li Mu scratched his head and decided not to worry about why he was able to escape death. The top priority now was to check on his companions. Fang Yan and the others were not far away when Gongsun Qi blew himself up, so there must be no chance of anything happening.
Three long and two short.
The physical fitness of a cultivator is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Li Mu, who had broken several bones, was already almost healed. Although there was still some pain in his chest, it was not serious. After getting out of bed, he simply changed into clothes.
He took off his robe, opened the door and walked out.
But Li Mu didn't notice that the jade plaque gifted by Mubai that had been hanging around his neck flashed a golden light inadvertently.
The golden light passed away in an instant, and soon the jade medal returned to its normal appearance, as if nothing had happened, and was quietly worn on Li Mu's neck.
The corridor outside the door was quiet. Li Mu knocked on the door of Fang Yan and Lin Qingzhu's room respectively, but there was no response. It seemed that neither of them were in the wing at this time.
Walking down from the third floor, people were still coming and going in the hall of Deyue Tower as usual. The business travelers and casual cultivators passing by were drinking wine and eating delicious food. There was no sign that Gongsun Qi's fall had any impact on the city.
Influence.
"Oh, Li Shaoxia, have you recovered from your injuries? I will send someone to notify Captain Liu right now."
As soon as the shopkeeper who was rushing around saw Li Mu, he immediately put down what he was doing and ran over in three steps at a time. This shout also made other guests and waiters in the hall turn their attention to Li Mu.
Li Mu.
"Young Master Li."
"Young Master Li."
These people, whom Li Mu didn't know at all, looked at him with the most sincere eyes, greeted him kindly, and the casual cultivators in the distance raised their hands and saluted, which made Li Mu feel like he was in another world.
"Big brother, thank you. Mother said you are our great hero in Lishui City."
A little girl with twin ponytails jumped up to Li Mu, hugged his legs and said with a sweet voice. Looking at the little girl's clear eyes, Li Mu suddenly felt that he was suffering from this.
It's worth the injury.
"Li Mu, are you awake?"
Just as Li Mu returned the favor to everyone who applauded him enthusiastically, Fang Yan walked in from the door and his eyes lit up when he saw Li Mu.
In the battle that night, the most dangerous person was Li Mu. Although he didn't know how he survived Gongsun Qi's self-destruction, Fang Yan understood that everyone has some trump cards, and Li Mu was the best at creating miracles.
.
"Well, I just woke up and my whole body is still sore. Where are Brother Liu and Qingzhu? How is the situation in the city? Didn't the guards resist?"
Seeing Fang Yan standing in front of him, Li Mu was also relieved. This partner who was burdened with a blood feud was forced into the team by him. If something happened in Lishui City, then he would have really made a mistake.
"The two of them are very busy. In the past few days when you were in coma, the supporting troops from nearby city-states have been arriving one after another. Without Gongsun Qi, those personal guards are just like chickens and dogs, and they can't even put up a decent resistance.
If not, they will all be captured without mercy."
The two walked out of Deyuelou. The street was also busy and lively, but the difference was that the original beggars were gone. Instead, there were more vendors setting up stalls, shouting and selling some vegetables and dried meat.
.
"All the strongholds hidden in the mountains outside the city have been identified. The imprisoned civilians and casual cultivators have also been rescued. All the soldiers of the Guards are interrogating one by one. Brother Liu said that anyone with blood on their hands will
, all of them will be dealt with according to the laws of the empire, and the rest will be sent to work in the iron mines."
Fang Yan pointed to a group of soldiers wearing imperial standard armor walking in the distance and said. They were escorting more than a dozen prisoners towards the so-called camp. The prisoners were all dejected. They were no longer what they were a few days ago.
As a member of the Guards, he was arrogant.
"When the nobles in the city saw Gongsun Qi's fall, they immediately joined the empire. Each of these nobles were crying and complaining that they were forced by Gongsun Qi to exploit the people. I think you must have seen that scene.
You have to go up and slap them a few times."
The two quickly passed through the city gate. The guards were now replaced by soldiers from the imperial army, and the caravans passing through the gate were no longer maliciously interrogated. Everything seemed in order.
"Although the army successfully took over Lishui City, the operation of such a large city cannot be run by Brother Liu alone. Fortunately, Senior Sister Qingzhu is very experienced in managing the city. If she had not taken the lead in formulating a new plan in the past few days,
If the management plan is successfully promoted and implemented, I guess Brother Liu’s character will make him quit.”
Liu Long's station soon appeared in front of the two of them. It was more than five times larger than when Li Mu first arrived, and it was only half a mile away from Lishui City. It was obviously to take over the city.
Later, it was expanded and adjusted.
Groups of armored soldiers, holding shiny spears, walked in front of Li Mu in uniform steps. Various weapons, food, grass and equipment were also continuously unloaded from the carriages. This military camp was in fine shape.
Li Mu felt the military qualities that the Cangyun Empire, as the largest force in the fairy world, should have in both spirit and spirit.
"The troops who came here are all the direct line troops of the Liu family. They are of course different from those in Qinglan City who will make trouble for your father all day long. There is a reason why the Liu family can become the military god family. If the Yunlan Sect is the Cangyun Empire
As a backer, the Liu family is undoubtedly the royal family's anchor to the sea, opening up new territories and guarding the borders."
Fang Yan knew very well how Li Mu felt now. When the new camp was established a few days ago, he was also shocked by the quality displayed by the troops of the Liu family. Which man does not have the dream of joining the army, even if he has already embarked on the path of immortality?
They are no exception.
"Let's go. Brother Liu must be very happy to see you. It's really thanks to him this time. Without his Wu Sheng body, we would not be Gongsun Qi's opponent at all."
The two walked through the star-studded tents and came to the largest tent in the center. They lifted the curtain and heard Liu Long's hearty laughter.
