…
Zhu Minglang didn't stay too long in the chaotic West Earth. He passed through the gorge and stepped into the land that belonged to Ancestral Dragon City State.
After passing through the gorge, everything was different. The city was prosperous, the army was orderly, and the strength of the overseers kept each other in check. Even if there was a fight for resources, it was a battle between civilizations. After the battle, they had to clean up the battlefield to protect their reputation and prestige in this land.
The overseers of the Lichuan Kingdom were the Distant Mountain Sword Sect and the Zhu Sect. However, half a year ago, the Zhu Sect and the Distant Mountain Sword Sect had split the overseer to the other powers, and the various powers would jointly oversee the kingdom.
The main reason was that the dynasty had given them a lot of pressure. After knowing that there were ancient ruins in Lichuan, they couldn't let Distant Mountain Sword Sect and Zhu Sect monopolize it.
All Li Yunzi wanted was to maintain order. It did not matter to her who would be in charge of the land in the end. She did not even mind Dynasty's people arranging some of the city governors to supervise the land in her territory in terms of ruling rights.
After all, the country was hers. She only cared about war, protection, and order. She didn't care about governance and development at all.
The Ancestral Dragon City-State was not a backward city-state in the first place. Now, it had undergone an even greater change. The towering white city-state wall was like a living divine dragon coiling on the vast land of Li Chuan. The three water veins of Li Chuan flowed through it. It truly had the aura of a Dragon Vein Spirit City!
When Zhu Minglang saw Ancestral Dragon City for the first time, he felt that this city was a little different. After traveling to different territories and returning to look at it again, this feeling still hadn't disappeared. It seemed like Ancestral Dragon City was indeed extraordinary. It was just that it was asleep back then, and now it seemed like it was about to wake up.
After entering the city, Zhu Minglang realized that Ancestral Dragon City State was one of the few cities ruled by Li Yunzi that didn't have a sculpture.
Was there something more worthy of respect in this city?
Zhu Minglang passed through the city and saw that the river street that had been destroyed by the heavenly fire had been repaired. It was even cleaner and more elegant than before. The restaurants, pastry shops, rouge shops, and silk shops had also been reopened, and their business was very prosperous.
It had been a few days since the annual celebration, but the lanterns were still embellished. The new willow sprouts were fragrant, and walking along the river street was even more refreshing.
They walked all the way to the inner river. On the other side of the bridge was the Li Family's courtyard. When they thought that they would soon be able to see Li Yunzi's beautiful face, their mood brightened.
Yes, Zhu Minglang was the same as the majority of men. He was still fine when he first saw Li Yunzi, but gradually, he was unable to extricate himself from her. Recalling the guy who hung Li Yunzi's portraits all over his house, Zhu Minglang gradually understood why these people's hearts were slowly becoming distorted!
He headed straight for Li Yunzi's Qiunan Courtyard. There were not many changes in the Li Clan, and some of them still recognized Zhu Minglang.
After crossing the lake, they saw a unique tree with blue tree patterns. They arrived at the courtyard. The autumn trees were evergreen all year round, with luxuriant leaves and a unique color. Zhu Minglang knew that this was Li Xing's favorite painting …
Uh … When I see my wife later, I must carefully identify her.
After not seeing her for so long, it would be against my reputation as the number one covetous man if I immediately recognized the wrong person.
After entering the courtyard, Zhu Minglang's joyful mood was suddenly replaced by a hint of nervousness.
Please don't recognize the wrong person, please don't!
He had to observe carefully. Li Yunzi's words were cold, and there was a kind of icy arrogance in her bones. However, when she was in her own house and facing him, he could not feel the kind of arrogance that pushed people a thousand miles away. She was more gentle and quiet, and even a little indifferent.
It was this indifference that made her temperament similar to the gentle and refined Li Xing's paintings. If he did not encounter any special circumstances, he might not be able to distinguish the two of them at once.
"Cough cough, Shuang Er, is that Yunzi inside?" Zhu Minglang felt that it was better to ask the little girl beside Li Yunzi directly after thinking about it.
"I don't know. Young Miss did not come out of the house. She is meditating alone. Besides, I just came back from outside, "Shuang Er said.
Zhu Minglang sighed. He wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he did not expect to fail.
After asking Shuang Er to help take care of Little Ying and Little Jiao, Zhu Minglang brushed his horsetail whisk and entered the house.
The curtain was hazy, and Zhu Minglang could only see a dignified and gentle figure sitting quietly on a cushion. The perfect curve of her waist tickled his heart, and an intense desire to possess her welled up inside him.
Lifting the curtain, Zhu Minglang hurriedly restrained his overly passionate emotions, and displayed the demeanor that a proper man should have. Even if many things had already happened, he should still treat each other with respect.
After looking at each other quietly for a while, Zhu Minglang calmed down. However, there was still one problem. He could not tell who the person in front of him was. Was she his wife, or the prophet's sister-in-law? He could not find any distinguishing features at all.
No, he could not lose!
He had to recognize her before she spoke. Otherwise, how could he express his sincerity?
"I went to Ni Hai by myself. It was not as beautiful as before. Li Chuan, on the other hand, has changed a lot. It is as if it has been blessed by the gods," Zhu Minglang said.
"Why did someone tell me that you were taken back to the country of Xu, and that it would be difficult to see you again in five or ten years?"
"…" Zhu Minglang's face darkened immediately.
Which idiot said that?!
Wasn't this clearly trying to sow discord?!
With that little bounty, not to mention the strongest hunter team on the road, even the joint army of several countries would not be able to kidnap him back to the country of Xu!
"With the help of the country of Rui, our Li Chuan will be able to expand to the countries in the Yao Mountain area next year. Even if you were really taken back, in a year and a half, the army will be able to invade the country of Xu. I am not too worried. I am just afraid that someone will be too happy to think about home," she said slowly.
Zhu Minglang sighed.
The matter of the country of Xu was still a hurdle that could not be overcome.
It seemed that Li Yunzi already viewed Consort Wen as an enemy. She was even prepared to fight her.
"Wife, let me handle this matter. It's just a matter of a few words. If you still mind, I will make a trip to the country of Xu in a few days," Zhu Minglang said.
"She is in Li Chuan," Li Yunzi said.
"She? Consort Wen?? "Zhu Minglang was startled.
Li Yunzi nodded.
Consort Wen was domineering and overbearing. She came straight to her on her first day in Li Chuan.
Li Yunzi naturally would not allow her to act so presumptuously. Although they did not directly confront each other, the smell of gunpowder was already very strong.
"Young Master, that woman called Consort Wen has gone too far!" The moment Consort Wen was mentioned, the maidservant Shuang 'er was so angry that her face turned red like a little tiger. She said, "She said bluntly that if our young mistress continued to be entangled with you, she would have the army of Xu flatten our Li Chuan and make our young mistress lose everything!"
She came to provoke them and even made such a threat?
Was Consort Wen's brain damaged from practicing the sword?!
