Time always flies by so fast, and in the blink of an eye, three full months have passed since the defense battle of Qinglan City that shocked the immortal world.
Without the threat of the Penglai army, the Liu family's eastern military region and the Ji family's southern military region quickly integrated their forces. With the help of the empress Huang Fu Qing and the help of many immortal cultivating sects led by the Yun Lan Sect, it was known as the Cang Yun Zong in history.
The chaotic civil war ended with the defeat of the former emperor Huangfu Yi.
What’s interesting is that the former royal family, including Huangfu Yi and Huangfu Zhantian, and their trusted ministers were all pardoned from death penalty by the empress Huangfu Qing, and were all escorted to the bitter cold land in the far north for custody. Originally belonging to the Central Military Region, northwest
All officers and soldiers in the military region who surrender will not be killed, but will be dispersed and reorganized into the army.
In fact, despite the civil war, there were not many people who really wanted to join Huangfu Yi in betraying the country for glory, especially the soldiers at the bottom. They were just executing orders. The amnesty for these people made them grateful and stabilized the war.
The Cangyun Empire later avoided the dilemma of being coveted by other tiger and wolf powers in the surrounding area.
The first thing Huangfu Qing did after entering the imperial capital was to issue an order to rebuild Qinglan City at all costs. In fact, just after the civil war, large-scale construction was not a good idea, but this order to the new empress made the entire court civil and military.
But no one raised any objection.
Because everyone knows that if Qinglan City had not withstood the raging offensive of the Penglai army at the expense of more than half of the army, the entire Cangyun Empire would not be what it is today, and would inevitably become a colony of invaders or an evil organization.
of hunting grounds.
It is the city of heroes and a place of glory. The Cangyun Empire needs the encouragement of will now more than ever, to let the entire fairy world know that their weather-beaten empire is still there, and let Qinglan City stand on the top of the East China Sea again.
, is the best proof.
"Master, it's time to get up. Mistress has urged you several times. If you don't get up, Chunxiang won't make excuses for you."
Li Mu stretched his waist, rubbed his groggy eyes, and looked at Chunxiang who was jumping angrily with her hands on her hips outside the door, and couldn't help but smile on her face.
This is the first time in three months that he has indulged himself in sleeping so late. The continuous high-intensity busy work has made him, a monk who has achieved great success in the Infant Transformation Realm, quite exhausted. However, the reconstruction of Qinglan City is in full swing, and the troops of the Eastern Military Region
They had already withdrawn to participate in the battle in the north. The only people they could rely on were the people born and raised in Qinglan City.
Compared to him, Li Yubai, as the city lord, worked even more tirelessly, working to the point of selflessness. It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as sleepless. If Liu Ruoying hadn't forcibly brought him back from the city lord's mansion in the end, I'm afraid this city lord
Adults still don’t know that only in the Year of the Monkey can you close your eyes and sleep peacefully.
Li Mu walked out of the room and touched Chunxiang's head as usual. Although she was already a twenty-year-old girl, to him she was still the little maid in his memory. He looked at Chunxiang running away with a blushing face.
, Li Mu laughed happily.
For three months, he has been trying to get rid of the sadness over the passing of his mentor and good friend through non-stop work, but every time in the dead of night, the warm jade plaque around his neck always reminds him of those past times.
In the end, Lin Qingzhu saw something was wrong with him and slapped Li Mu completely awake, "The sacrifice of Teacher Mu and others is not to give you time to be sad here, but to enable you to welcome a brighter future."
bright future.”
Only then did Li Mu realize what those people who sacrificed their lives to defend this city were doing. After he came to his senses, he returned to the mansion for the first time, had a dinner with Liu Ruoying, and then slept peacefully.
A long lazy sleep.
And when he woke up again today, he decided to start over again, carrying the hopes of those who passed away and continuing on the path he chose. No matter how difficult and difficult it was, he would not give up.
When he arrived at the main hall of the mansion, he saw Liu Ruoying already waiting for him. Li Mu stepped forward quickly, saluted him, and then said, "Aunt, is there any news from father?"
Liu Ruoying also liked Li Mu, her unrelated son. After the war, she also noticed that Li Mu was not in a normal state and tried to enlighten her many times. Until last night, Li Mu returned home and had three months of food.
After the first dinner, she felt relieved.
"Yes, your father has helped you apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire and obtained special rights. You can set out from any border of the Empire and no one will stop you. But have you really considered it? You want to practice alone.
?”
Since the end of the civil war, in order to prevent the infiltration of surrounding forces, Huangfu Qing ordered all borders of the Cangyun Empire to be sealed. All inbound and outbound caravans need to undergo extremely strict inspections, and the movements of monks have become the focus of attention.
If you want to go out at this time, you need a privileged order from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And Li Mu made the decision to practice alone after careful consideration. Since he turned the tide in the defense battle and played the role of the savior, he has made great contributions to the entire Cangyun Empire.
His reputation had reached its peak, and even though he repeatedly explained that the senior who had taken action was just borrowing his body, he still could not stop the enthusiasm of the people.
It is said that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. At Li Mu's age and cultivation level, it would be absolutely disastrous for the entire cultivation path to take on the reputation that does not belong to him. Therefore, he chose to leave now and go to heaven.
In the vast world outside the Cloud Empire, look for more opportunities to break through to a higher realm.
It is not easy to make this choice, especially when Li Mu and Lin Qingzhu, as well as Nie Xiaoyu, expressed their feelings just now. After many years of waiting, the lovers finally got married, but they had to choose to separate immediately. Anyone would hesitate.
But after learning about Li Mu's idea, Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu were the most supportive. Moreover, both women said that they would use this time to improve themselves. Nie Xiaoyu was going to follow Hua Mei to the Hua family to learn more advanced skills.
Sheng Yuan Jue Kung Fu, and Lin Qingzhu decided to join the Yunlan Sect and become a true swordsman of the sect.
The three people who have the same goal and want to pursue a higher realm have chosen to support each other unconditionally. This may be the simplest way to express love, and it is also a major reason why Li Mu is confident in his future path of spiritual practice.
"Aunt, I have decided. I will set off in three days. Qingzhu and Xiaoyu will also set off at that time. We will take the expectations of teachers, friends and seniors to hone ourselves. When we come back, I believe
We can truly help Qinglan City and the empire."
Li Mu's eyes were so firm. He didn't seem to be speaking for one person at this time. Behind him were Mu Bai, Liu Yu, Hao Tu, Hao Wen and others. This was a promise and a new legend.
