In fact, in the majority of the ruling class, the monarch and the state teacher had similar statuses. One was in front of the scenes, while the other was behind the scenes.
In some countries, the state teacher's influence was even higher than the monarch's. It was like a religion in the hearts of every citizen. The monarch was like flowing water, while the state teacher was like iron.
Li Yunzi wasn't interested in power. She was more like a goddess of war, protecting the land of Li Chuan.
In the end, it was Commander Cheng who came.
Zhu Minglang couldn't help but feel disappointed.
He thought that after leaving the Cloud Dragon Nation, he would be able to see Li Yunzi in a week.
He didn't expect that it wasn't her.
"The stability of the Ancestral Dragon City State is due to the two of you. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for us on the battlefield," said Commander Cheng.
"Uncle Cheng, please go ahead." Nan Lingsha wasn't interested in the affairs of the state or the appointment at all. She was a little tired, so she planned to go back and rest.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about the rest. I will take care of it. The Extreme Court Royal Capital has banned war. After the annual celebration, the Ancestral Dragon City State can finally have a peaceful year," said Commander Cheng.
…
They returned to the Zhu Family Gate and the small building.
Zhu Minglang was also a little tired. Even with a special life device like the jade lamp, in the environment of the Cloud Dragon Nation, his aura was still weak. He needed to rest for a while. The guards had specifically told them about this.
After soaking in a hot bath, Zhu Minglang felt his body and nerves were a little better.
After changing into clean clothes, Zhu Minglang couldn't sleep, probably because he was still a little tense. He walked out of the house and planned to lie down in the small boat by the lake.
This was his own unique way of relaxing.
His mood would always be better.
"Where's my boat?" When Zhu Minglang arrived at the Inner Court Lake, he found that his personal boat was gone.
Could it be that he didn't fasten it tightly and it was swept away by the waves?
That was awkward.
Zhu Minglang was helpless. He could only walk to the side and steal a wooden boat from a cousin whose name he didn't remember. It was filled with comfortable sandalwood. It wasn't bad.
The most important thing about boating was to follow the waves.
As long as they were out of the shore, they would drift to wherever they wanted. If they deliberately made them drift to other places, there would be fewer surprises. The Inner Court Lake was very big, and there were many sceneries that Zhu Minglang had never seen before. Just like last time, they accidentally drifted into the downtown area.
He closed his eyes and rested.
Time always passed quickly with the gentle breeze blowing.
Boom!
Suddenly, the wooden boat gently bumped into something. The boat gently trembled, waking Zhu Minglang from his wandering thoughts.
They had reached the shore so quickly. Was it an island in the middle of the lake? Or was it Willow Forest Lakeside?
Zhu Minglang slowly propped himself up and looked behind him, only to discover that he was still in the vast Inner Court Lake. The rippling blue waves around him were gentle and enchanting.
And what his boat bumped into was not the shore, but another small boat. It was a very familiar boat at that.
On the small boat, there was a woman with a graceful figure. Her perfect figure came into view without any warning, causing people to feel their mouths go dry. When they raised their eyes to look at the other party's face again, they felt their hearts palpitating with eagerness.
This stunning beauty immediately took over all his emotions.
Zhu Minglang was somewhat absent-minded. In the end, he could only smile apologetically and politely say, "So it's Miss Lingsha. Have you also come to boate?"
She didn't say anything. She only stood there, her beautiful eyes overtaking all the sceneries of the Inner Court Lake. She just stared at Zhu Minglang.
"Is there something troubling you?" Zhu Minglang asked in confusion.
"No." She shook her head.
"I was just thinking. I originally wanted to wait for Yunzi to come to the imperial capital before we return to Li Chuan together. But now there's no need to stay here until the annual celebration. Let's rest for a few days and then return to Li Chuan. What do you think?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I want to travel around. I won't return to Li Chuan for the time being."
"Huh?" Zhu Minglang scratched his head. After a while, he said, "Then we might have to split up for now. Miss Lingsha, you should be more careful when traveling alone in the Extreme Court Continent."
Sigh, the team of dragon shepherds that he'd just formed was split up again.
Where was he going to find a divine mortal who didn't want a salary to escort him in the future?
He didn't know if his wife would be willing to travel with him. If he could bring her along, he wouldn't even want to go to the heavens!
Speaking of which, Li Yunzi should be very interested in exploring this world. It could be seen from her discussion with him about the Wasteland.
Now that the Ancestral Dragon City had stopped fighting, it would not be invaded by the other Extreme Court nations until the annual celebration. There was still half of autumn and an entire winter before the celebration. After returning to Li Chuan, he could ask Li Yunzi if she was willing to take a walk with him and enjoy the two of them together … Three people would be fine too, if the prophet Li Xinghua counted as one.
That was a good idea!
Li Yunzi had done so much for the people of Ancestral Dragon City. She'd been worried about the survival of the city she'd grown up in for so long. It was time for her to relax and explore a wider world.
He might be able to convince her with some strange lands.
Even Nan Lingsha said she wanted to travel around.
Li Yunzi must be thinking about this too!
"It's winter now. The Snowy Kingdom is very special. I passed by there once and saw countless Snowy Dancing Butterfly Spirits. When they were resting quietly, they covered the ground like soft snow. When the morning light fell, they would wake up and flap their wings. A sea of silver, white, and moonlight flowers would slowly rise into the sky and fill the sky … I wanted to draw this scene back then, but I'm not good at drawing. Even now, I haven't forgotten the mesmerizing scene. If Miss Lingsha doesn't know where to go, you can consider going to the Snowy Kingdom, "Zhu Minglang said.
"I feel that it's very beautiful just by hearing you say it."
"Perhaps Mancheng City isn't bad either. It's a border city on the west coast of the Ni Sea. The city is actually in the shallow white sea. The city is built with countless colorful wooden corals. The pavilions, buildings, and workshops are built in the sea. The entire city is built with a lot of special wooden corals. When the sun sets above the sea, the city will become incomparably dazzling. I can only blame myself for my lack of knowledge. I can't describe it with words, but it's really worth taking a look," Zhu Minglang hastily said as he recalled another unforgettable place.
"But it's still clear in your mind, isn't it?"
"That's right. In the past, I was young and full of vigor. I went to many places and always wanted to prove to the world how unparalleled I was. Those that touched me, those that I engraved in my heart, were swept away by me like smoke." Zhu Minglang sighed lightly.
