On the snow-white letter paper, there are lines of graceful fonts, and there is an awe-inspiring momentum in the pen and ink. This is undoubtedly Yun Lier's personal letter. Although I don't understand the intention of the Yunlan Sect leader, my previous experience shows that
At least she is not her enemy, and she seems to have a deep relationship with her parents.
Thinking of this, Li Mu suppressed the irritability in his heart and focused his eyes on the letter from Yun Li'er explaining everything.
"Li Mu, I know you have many questions now, and you don't understand the reason why I asked Xi'er to go to Qinglan City with you. I don't want Xi'er to become a burden to you, nor do I want her to avoid the current whirlpool of the imperial capital.
, On the contrary, Qinglan City will be more dangerous than here in the future, and I need someone who I absolutely trust to keep in touch with you. It is ridiculous to say that, as the leader of the Yunlan Sect and such a large sect, in the end I can trust only myself.
's daughter."
"Xi'er will bring a treasure from our Yunlan Sect when the time comes. This treasure can span space and show our images of each other. It was set when the previous sect leader, my master, passed it to me.
Only my and Xi'er's bloodline can use it."
"As for why I want you to return to Qinglan City quickly, it's because it will be the key to the survival of our Cangyun Empire this time. If something goes wrong in Qinglan City, then the Thousand-Year Empire may really be in catastrophe."
"I'm not an alarmist. 'Blood' has been secretly planning for decades to start a war between Cangyun Empire and Penglai Immortal Kingdom. Even I have no way of knowing how many people in the empire who are at the peak of power have been bribed and used by them.
Or control. Even in my Yunlan Sect, there are "bloody" chess pieces. If my master hadn't overturned everyone's opinions and let the young me take over as the leader, I would control the Protector Sect.
Formation, then today's Yunlan Sect is very likely to become an accomplice of 'blood'."
"After I took over as the head of the family three years ago, the first thing I did was to regain control of the royal family and start peace talks with the Penglai Immortal Kingdom. This helped the Cangyun Empire gain stability for three years, but what about the 'blood'
I will give it up and not only continue to induce the Huangfu family to resist my orders, but also take many actions in the Penglai Immortal Kingdom. Fortunately, they are not monolithic there and have great differences, so this delays time."
"But now, they finally don't plan to wait any longer. I thought that Zi Tong just wanted to use Zhuge Jin's death to intensify the conflict between the two countries, but judging from the information I secretly obtained in the past few days, he really
The purpose is actually your father. To be precise, it is the long-standing conflict between the independent city lord and the royal-sent city lord."
When Xin saw this, Li Mu had long since lost his playful and smiling expression. With his brows furrowed, he didn't expect that the entire empire was on the verge of war. The seemingly prosperous Cangyun Empire had actually been suffering from internal and external troubles for a long time, and such forces
Behind the conflicts between the two is the dark hand of 'blood'.
After taking a deep breath, Li Mu continued to read the letter, while Yun Luoxi on the side was obviously aware of the weight of his mother's letter and did not dare to disturb Li Mu, so he stood quietly and waited.
"As we all know, the Cangyun Empire has been using the system of dispatching city lords since the founding of the country. All 108 cities were selected by the royal family. Ninety-nine percent of these city lords were nobles from the imperial capital.
After Zhuge Lin, the famous Mingjun of the generation, succeeded to the throne, the situation of independent city lords and dispatched city lords began to coexist. Although this policy encountered huge obstacles at the beginning, the facts proved that this changed the national destiny of Cangyun Empire.
A wise decision."
"These independent city lords often grew up in the local area and have a better understanding of the city's situation, and their existence gives other dispatched city lords a sense of urgency, forcing them to be diligent in government affairs. This has created the Cang people in the past three hundred years.
It’s a prosperous age, but everything always has pros and cons.”
"The so-called old party always wants to restore its past glory. Especially after Zhuge Lin's death, it puts pressure on the independent city lord overtly and covertly. You were born in Qinglan City, so you should understand this."
Seeing the description in the letter, Li Mu couldn't help but nod. When he was in Qinglan City, he knew that the soldiers sent by the royal family were always against the city lord's mansion. Obviously this was a way for the old party to suppress the independent city lord's faction. It seemed that
Over the years, the confrontation between the two factions has come to an end, and then it became a means used by the black robe organization to divide the empire. The internal opinions are not yet unified, and coupled with the Penglai Immortal Kingdom, which is also deliberately intensifying the conflict, the results can be imagined
And know.
"Seeing this, you should understand that this world is not actually a 'bloody' conspiracy, but an honest conspiracy. The conflicts within the empire are constantly escalating. The two factions refuse to give in to each other. Even within my Yunlan Sect,
There are also two voices, and most of the conservative elders are dissatisfied with me. Even if the first sect in the empire is like this, the situation in other places is even more serious. So at this point, even if the blood does not deliberately add fuel to the flames, a large-scale
A war will happen sooner or later."
"When I advocated peace talks three years ago, I actually thought about how we should respond if a war breaks out one day. The Penglai Immortal Kingdom's land area is less than one percent of ours, but the number of monks is more than ten times ours, so it's really
In a fight, we don’t have much advantage.”
"The only thing we can rely on is the continent at our feet. They traveled across the ocean to invade us, and their supply lines have to pass through the sea of death. No matter how many monks there are, without logistical support, if they are held back by us, their probability of victory is extremely slim.
."
"Therefore, fighting to support war is the only way they can choose. Then the result of the first battle, that is, the landing battle, is particularly important, and I judge that this battle will most likely happen in Qinglan City."
"Qinglan City meets the needs of the Penglai Immortal Kingdom in terms of geographical location and material reserves. If the Penglai Immortal Kingdom troops can be blocked in Qinglan City, the nearby imperial forces can quickly gather reinforcements. As long as they delay
If we stay here for ten days, we will have a 90% chance of winning in this war of aggression."
"Obviously, this is not what Blood and those who hope to reshuffle the empire through war want to see. Especially since Qinglan City also has an independent city lord who is the most disrespectful to the royal family in the empire, then this city lord will become the leader of all
The stumbling blocks to the plan must be removed in advance."
Li Mu was shocked when he saw the letter. It turned out that Prime Minister Zhuge's death was just a pretense. It didn't matter who died. What was important was that the person who drew the sword must be his father. Everything, including
My father investigated in the imperial capital, then entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was begged by Prime Minister Zhuge. These were all part of the plan, and the purpose was to remove all obstacles on the way to launching this war.
"What a plan. Is this the conspiracy that Zi Tong has been planning for decades? It's impeccable. Now the huge wheel of war has started rolling, and it really can't be stopped anymore."
Li Mu murmured to himself, as if he had seen the smoke and mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The peace and prosperity of the past may really be gone forever.
