Soon, Mu Bei and Yiyi returned to the other courtyard.
He did not return to the border city, but stayed in the courtyard, practicing his swordsmanship during the day and martial arts at night.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. On this day, there was a knock on the door outside.
Mu Bei opened the courtyard door and saw Xiang Zimao, Lu Changhao, Suo Gen and Lu Yang standing outside.
"Why are you here?"
Mu Bei was surprised.
Xiang Zimao said: "We have withdrawn from the military headquarters!"
Mu Bei was startled and smiled bitterly: "You don't have to be like this."
He naturally knew why the four of them were like this.
"It's necessary!" Xiang Zimao clasped his hands and said, "Although we are fighting for the country and the people, such a royal family is chilling!"
"Brother Bei, you don't want to join the war anymore!"
Lu Changhao said.
Mu Bei nodded, he indeed would not participate in the war again.
As Xiang Zimao said, I am heartbroken.
"But you have a bright future in the army."
He looked at the four people.
Xiang Zimao is now a Qianhu, and Lu Changhao and the other three are not far away from being promoted to the rank of Qianhu. They all have a bright future in the army. Now that they withdraw from the army, everything they have done before will be lost.
"I only know that I am covered by Brother Bei! Without Brother Bei, I would not be where I am today!"
Xiang Zimao said.
Lu Changhao and the other three nodded: "If it weren't for Brother Bei, the three of us would have died long ago. We can't stand that thief acting like this!"
Mu Bei couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, the four of them were really loyal.
He welcomed the four people into the courtyard, and Yiyi quickly made tea for them.
Mu Bei introduced four people to Yiyi, and then introduced Yiyi to four people.
"Sister Yiyi!"
The four people said quickly.
Time passed very quickly, and it was dusk in the blink of an eye. Mu Bei took Xiang Zimao and four others to Shi Zhenhao's yard.
Two days ago, he came to feed the dogs adopted by Shi Zhenhao, and then found the owner of the yard and bought the yard.
Now, that guy is no longer here for the time being, and he is worried that the owner of the courtyard will drive away these dogs.
He was right. That guy Shi Zhenhao was usually very rude, but at the critical moment, he could fight for his brother and sister.
"You can live here as long as you want, and help take care of these dogs. They were adopted by a friend of mine."
he laughed.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Qin Yueyao came and told Mu Bei a piece of news. After learning what Qin Zhen had done, Emperor Qin was extremely angry. He yelled "treason" and died.
"Your Majesty is a wise king. It's a pity."
Mu Bei sighed.
Qin Yueyao nodded and said: "The eldest prince Qin Gu inherited the throne. Due to frequent border wars, the succession ceremony was temporarily abandoned."
Mu Bei didn't care about this, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Mu Bei stood up and opened the courtyard door. There was a man in dragon robe standing outside the door, followed by several armored guards.
In an instant, Mu Bei knew that this man must be Qin Gu, the current Emperor of Qin.
Sure enough, Qin Yueyao stood up: "Your Majesty!"
Qin Gu nodded, looked at Mu Bei and said, "Can I go in?"
Mu Bei didn't say anything.
Qin Gu walked into the yard, looked at Mu Bei, paused and said: "General Mu, I have nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall, so I will speak frankly. Nowadays, border wars are becoming more frequent. I hope General Mu can let go of the past."
, returned to the border and led the armies to fight."
"I can't let it go! In addition, your Majesty, please don't call me General Mu anymore. If your Majesty has nothing else to do, then please do it!"
Mu Bei said indifferently.
"Presumptuous! What kind of attitude do you have?!" A guard yelled: "You killed a royal prince for your sister, and His Majesty never held him accountable. Now he has come to visit you in person. He has given you enough face, so don't get in trouble with him!"
Compared to the royal family and the country, what is your sister?!"
Mu Bei's eyes turned cold, and he swung out his sword and cut off the guard's head with a pop.
"My sister is everything to me! My sister is my country! What does the royal family mean? Whoever dares to say anything wrong about my sister will be killed by me!"
He said coldly.
Behind Qin Gu, the other guards wanted to scold Mu Bei for being bold, but they didn't dare at this moment.
The sharp and thick murderous aura in Mu Bei's body made these guards tremble with fear.
Qin Gu looked ugly, but sighed.
"General Mu... Mr. Mu, I know that the royal family is ashamed of Mr. Mu. Can you please, for the sake of the country and the people, go to the border to participate in the war?"
he pleaded.
Mu Bei looked cold and directly issued an order to expel the guests.
Qin Gu took a deep breath, cupped his hands toward Mu Bei, bent his legs, and was about to kneel down.
Mu Bei raised his hand and grabbed him, stopped him from kneeling and pulled him up forcefully: "I, Mu Bei, have a clear conscience towards the country and the people. Please stop forcing me!"
Qin Gu looked at Qin Yueyao as if asking for help, hoping that Qin Yueyao could intercede for him.
Qin Yueyao sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the prince represents the royal family. How hateful is it that the third prince did what he did? Ministers should be loyal, but now, if you still want ministers to be loyal, isn't that loyalty worthless?"
Qin Gu was stunned, his face full of bitterness.
"sorry!"
He apologized to Mu Bei and left dejectedly.
The courtyard became quiet. Qin Yueyao stayed here for a few hours, chatted with Mu Bei about some things, and then said goodbye and left.
In the following days, Mu Bei continued to practice in the courtyard.
His cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Unity Realm. The foundation of this realm is not yet very stable. He uses the Fusion of Yuan Dan to assist with One Sword Peerless Combination.
Soon, another five days passed.
After five days of dedicated practice, on this day, he finally polished his cultivation in the middle stage of the Unity Realm to the extreme, becoming as unshakable as a rock.
After getting up and stretching his limbs, he went to the courtyard to practice martial arts.
Jian Seventy-Two is only one step away from reaching the ninth level. Once he reaches this level, his combat power will be greatly improved.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
Yiyi was responsible for daily necessities of life, so he didn't have to be distracted. Three days later, he finally cultivated Sword Seventy-Two to the ninth level.
Keng!
The sword roared harshly. He swung the sword at will, and seventy-two sword shadows appeared. Each one seemed real and sharp!
He threw his hand and threw the 梼杌 sword, and the 梼杌 sword turned into a stream of light and flew out at an alarming speed, cutting off more than a dozen ornamental peach trees dozens of feet away.
Then, the sword made a strange arc and returned to his hand.
There was a glimmer in his eyes and he nodded secretly.
Jian Seventy-Two has cultivated to the ninth level, and he has mastered the second secret killing sword skill, the Hundred-Step Killing Sword!
The Hundred-Step Killing Sword is an extremely exquisite fusion of sword style and power. It can kill a person's head from a hundred steps away! Moreover, the sword can return to the hand on its own!
After a short pause, he began to practice the Fengxing Nine Transformations and the Heart-Breaking Fist. In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.
Four days later, on this day, he reached great perfection in both Feng Xing Jiu Zhuan and Heart Breaking Fist, and his combat power skyrocketed.
"Brother!" At this moment, Yiyi came back from shopping and said anxiously: "Xia Guo is forcing sister Yueyao to get married, otherwise he will attack us!"
Mu Bei's eyes moved slightly: "Go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion first!"
He and Yiyi quickly rushed to the Nine Princes' Mansion, and happened to meet a eunuch who came to announce Qin Yueyao's entry into the palace. The envoys of the Xia Kingdom were waiting in the palace hall.
"I'll go with you."
Mu Bei said to Qin Yueyao.
"I'll go too!" Mu Yiyi pulled Qin Yueyao: "Sister Yueyao, don't worry, as long as my brother is here, I will never let you marry to the Xia Kingdom! That old emperor of the Xia Kingdom is what a toad wants to eat.
Swan meat, he is daydreaming!"
The group of people went to the palace together, and soon arrived at the palace hall.
On the left side of the hall stood a group of civil servants, and on the right side stood a row of military generals.
On the dragon chair, Qin Gu was sitting upright. When he saw Mu Bei coming with Qin Yueyao, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he stood up.
In the center, a middle-aged man in silver robe, Shi Shiran, stood, with narrow and sinister eyes. His eyes lit up when he saw Qin Yueyao arriving.
"Sure enough, the country is beautiful and fragrant!" The middle-aged man in silver robe smiled, looked at Qin Gu on the dragon throne, and said casually: "Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, has made it very clear, let's start arranging for Princess Yueyao to marry Daxia.
Being able to become the concubine of my Emperor Daxia is also a blessing she gained from her previous life!"
"If Your Majesty refuses, our Great Xia cavalry will definitely go south! Your country is already in dire straits facing the Chu-Qi coalition. If I, Great Xia, send troops again, I am afraid that your country will be torn apart in the blink of an eye! Therefore, I believe that, with Your Majesty,
A wise person should know how to act!"
He said proudly.
Qin Yueyao's face was pale and she clenched her hands tightly.
Qin Gu walked off the dragon chair and his eyes fell on Mu Bei: "Mr. Mu, you must be very aware of this matter. I wonder what you think about it?"
"Your Majesty, are you willing to listen to Mu Bei's words?"
Mu Bei looked at him and said.
Qin Gu nodded.
Mu Bei walked up to the silver-robed middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man in silver robe raised his chin slightly and looked at Mu Bei arrogantly: "What are you..."
Mu Bei swung his sword and chopped off the man's head, and bright red blood splashed across the hall.
"That's my opinion."
He looked at Qin Gu and said.
Everyone changed their colors.
Especially Qin Yueyao was stunned at this moment.
"You bastard! You bastard!" An old civil servant pointed at Mu Bei and was furious: "The Xia Kingdom is the number one among the six countries, and its military strength far exceeds ours! Now, just giving one woman can prevent the Xia Kingdom from sending troops and protect our country.
An, you killed the envoy of Da Xia and wanted to destroy Da Qin!"
Mu Bei walked over and kicked the civil servant over.
The old civil servant howled miserably, knelt on the ground and cried to Qin Gu, with snot and tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! I am loyal to the country and have every kind word. He beats me like this. Please make the decision for me!"
Mu Bei kicked the civil servant again, sending him flying far away: "In such a big country, a woman must be exchanged for stability. Is this what you call loyalty to the country? Are you doing it for the stability of the country, or for yourself?"
Can you enjoy the glory in peace?"
The civil servant's mouth was bleeding, and he was frightened, frightened and angry: "You are talking nonsense! I have read the ancient books of sages all my life, and my loyalty to the country can be learned from the sun and the moon. How can you slander me with just one word?!"
He looked at Qin Gu and cried: "Your Majesty, I am not greedy for comfort. I am really thinking about the country!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sword fell in front of him.
"Pick it up and kill yourself! If you do it, I will personally send Princess Yueyao to Xia Kingdom!"
Mu Bei looked at him coldly.
Looking at the sharp long sword in front of him, there was still blood on the sword, which was the blood of the dead Xia envoy. Fear suddenly appeared on the civil servant's face, and his limbs were shaking uncontrollably: "You, you..."
"Aren't you so righteous when you push others into the abyss? When it's your turn, you don't dare anymore?"
"Do you know how those soldiers on the border live? Most of them are very young. They bathe in the scorching sun, train hard, and charge into the battlefield to fight and bleed! They use their own flesh and blood to protect the country behind them in exchange for national stability! They use their own flesh and blood to protect the people at home in exchange for the common people.
Peace!"
"What about you? You dress gorgeously, travel in sedan chairs, and enjoy the stable life that those soldiers exchanged for their flesh and blood. But now you want to exchange stability with a woman in your prime. What about your face?! This is the book of sages you read.
?Have you read your sages’ books on dogs?!”
Mu Bei said coldly.
The old civil servant's face turned red and he couldn't say a word. He could only look at Qin Gu: "Your Majesty, old minister..."
"Shut up!" Qin Gu said coldly: "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"
The old civil servant suddenly collapsed to the ground. Qin Gu said this. If he is sentenced to death, all the status and salary he currently has will be deprived of him.
Two guards came forward, holding the old civil servant one on the left and one on the right, and quickly left the hall.
The main hall was silent. Qin Gu looked at Mu Bei and bowed to Mu Bei in front of the civil and military officials.
"Mr. Mu's words are like those of Huang Zhongda Lu. Qin Gu will remember them for the rest of his life!" He looked solemnly, then looked at Qin Yueyao and said: "Don't worry, sister Yueyao, I will definitely not use you as a bargaining chip to exchange for Qin Yueyao."
The country is stable!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yueyao saluted quickly, and then looked at Mu Bei, her beautiful eyes filled with mist.
How could she not understand that Qin Gu could treat this matter this way mainly because of Mu Bei.
Qin Gu looked at Mu Bei again and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Bei: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. Mu Bei will not go to the border again, but we will take care of this matter!"
Qin Yueyao treats their brothers and sisters very well. This matter involves Qin Yueyao, and he will not sit idly by and ignore it.
Otherwise, if the Xia State really sends troops to attack Qin, Qin Yueyao will be in trouble for the rest of his life, even if he is not wrong.
He is not for the Qin State, let alone the royal family, but simply for Qin Yueyao.
