Four days later, the Emperor, Qin Jin, wrote an imperial edict to promote Min Yulin to the rank of Commander-in-Chief. He was sent to Yunzhong Province to replace Su Qin as the commander of the Iron Blade Army. At this point, nearly half of the military power in Yunzhong Province was under Qin Jin's control.
Xiang Yu handed over his military power before he was exiled. The tens of thousands of troops in Cangnan Province were all under Si Kongfan's control. The imperial edict that Chu Huaiyin was promoted to commander of the Flying Mount Camp was also issued. At this point, the military power of North Ridge Province, Yunzhong Province, and Cangnan Province was all concentrated in the hands of the Emperor in Lanyan City.
In less than five days, Chu Huaiyin returned to Lanyan City with a thousand men from the Flying Mount Camp. He claimed that the army was attacked by the remnants of the Academy of Chivalry on the way back. The criminal Xiang Yu was shot dead on the spot, and the Flying Mount Camp lost dozens of men. However, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and the others knew that the remnants of the Academy of Chivalry in Cangnan Province would never dare to attack the Flying Mount Camp again. However, Xiang Yu had indeed passed away forever.
He was the descendant of Xiang Wentian, one of the founding fathers of the country and the God of War. He had mastered the Nine Chaotic Strikes, but he had died in the wilderness. It was truly a pity.
…
A month later, the bitter cold of winter gradually left Lanyan City. The days of spring had arrived again.
"Mu!"
Tang Xiaoxi's bell-like laughter reverberated in the temple. She had come to the temple to see Lin Muyu many times. When she pushed open the door to the office, she saw a purple ripple in the air. Purple lightning lingered around the gap in the space, accompanied by a young dragon's roar. An Akatosaurus, Little Apple, stretched his neck to look at the situation in this plane. When he heard Tang Xiaoxi's voice, he pricked up his ears and ran out of the space gap while shaking his head. He wagged his huge tail and ran towards Tang Xiaoxi.
Tang Xiaoxi giggled as she took out the golden cauldron from the bamboo basket and placed it on the ground. She said, "Little Apple is such a good boy. Sister has brought you your favorite roast duck. It's just come out of the oven. Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."
Xiaolong shook its head and started eating heartily.
On the other side of the desk, Lin Muyu slowly withdrew her Dou Qi and returned it to her aura sea. Suddenly, the crack in space twenty meters in front of her disappeared with a crackling sound.
"Mu, have you done it?" Tang Xiaoxi asked with a smile.
"Yes." Lin Muyu nodded and said, "It's a pity that it's still a bit lacking. At most, it can only create a spatial crack twenty meters away."
"Is that so …" Tang Xiaoxi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked with a smile, "Do you have the urge to try entering the spatial rift?"
"I …"
Lin Muyu shook her head quickly and said with a smile, "This mortal body of mine doesn't want to pass through space. That kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people. Little Apple is a true dragon, so it doesn't matter. The impact of the cosmic sand is like an itch to him. If I pass through space, I'll become like that roast duck. Also … once I pass through, I won't know how to come back."
"Oh, that's true!" Tang Xiaoxi sat down on the chief deacon's desk with a smile and swung her long legs lightly in the air. She said with a smile, "Then it's better if you don't try it. I don't want to never see you again. Moreover, if you really can't come back, Xiao Yin will really be worried!"
"Oh right, what is Xiao Yin doing recently? I don't have time to visit her. The matters of the Holy Cathedral and the Eagle Nest are too busy."
"Her …"
Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly. "Xiao Yin is now the commander of the Military Police Battalion. She spends at least half of her time in the military police battalion every day. She's busy with military discipline and sending people to patrol the troops everywhere. The rest of her time isn't idle either. Recently, she has been preparing for the Spring Plowing Festival!"
"Spring Plowing Festival …"
"Yes." Tang Xiaoxi nodded. "The most solemn festival in the Empire. It means the official arrival of spring, the revival of all things, and the people of the Empire can start farming again."
"I see. It's similar to the Spring Festival where I come from."
"Spring Festival?"
"Yes, it's also called the New Year." Lin Muyu moved the files to the side and talked with Tang Xiaoxi while reading them.
Tang Xiaoxi blinked and asked with a smile, "Mu, tell me honestly, where are you from?"
"Earth." Lin Muyu told the truth.
"Earth?"
Tang Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. She held Lin Muyu's shoulder and said, "Mu, don't tease me. How can people … live on a ball? Won't it fall down? "
Lin Muyu said seriously, "The sky is round and the earth is flat … but that place is called Earth."
"I see …"
Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips and said with a smile, "Then … Mu, when you're free in the future and you're free from military affairs, bring me to your hometown, that Earth, to have a look, okay?"
Lin Muyu raised her head to look at her, only to find that the beautiful Princess Xi was as radiant as the morning sun. She couldn't help but laugh. "That's good too. With Little Xi's looks, I might be able to use the Long Xin Group's funds to help you package up. Hmph, entering Hollywood won't be a problem."
"What is Hollywood …"
"Oh, it's just a small port."
"Oh, I don't understand. Mu is always so mysterious. Oh right, the Spring Plowing Festival is the day after tomorrow. Didn't the Divine Sanctum prepare a Spring Plowing Festival celebration?"
"Yes, most of the files that have been processed these days are about the Spring Plowing Festival celebration. The Divine Sanctum has bought a lot of ale, rice wine, and a lot of food. There will definitely be a lot of drinking that day."
"I see …" Tang Xiaoxi pouted. "I thought Mu could celebrate the Spring Plowing Festival with me!"
Lin Muyu suddenly thought of Tang Xiaoxi's background. Although she was the Princess of Qihai City, she had to stay in Lanyan City to celebrate such a festival. Actually, Tang Xiaoxi should be very lonely, right?
So, Lin Muyu put down her pen and said with a smile, "If Xiao Xi doesn't mind, you can bring a few guards to the Divine Sanctum to celebrate the Spring Plowing Festival with me. We won't go home until we're drunk."
"Can I?"
"Why not? I have the final say in the Divine Sanctum now."
"Mm, then it's a deal! At noon during the Spring Plowing Festival, His Majesty should be hosting a banquet to entertain the officials. With our status, you and I will definitely be invited. We will celebrate the festival at noon at the Ze Tian Palace and at night at the Divine Sanctum. "
"Alright, I will get someone to prepare a room for you in the Divine Sanctum."
"Mm!"
"Oh right, Xiao Xi."
"Mm?" Tang Xiaoxi jumped off the desk and looked up at him.
"Don't tell anyone about me using four-dimensional energy to cut through space. It will be very disadvantageous for me."
"I know. Xiao Xi is very sensible."
"Haha, that's good. I will continue with my work. You can wander around the Divine Sanctum for a while. I will accompany you when I'm done."
"Alright!"
…
As soon as Tang Xiaoxi left, a Divine Sanctum guard stepped into the office and said respectfully, "Deacon Lin, he said that someone from the Longdan Army Camp is looking for you. His name is Fengxi. Can you let him in?"
"Fengxi is here?"
Lin Muyu was taken aback. She smiled and said, "Alright, let him in."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Fengxi walked in in a mercenary outfit. He even wore the badge of the Longdan Army Camp's vice-captain. He smiled respectfully and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain. You must be bored from reading scrolls every day."
Lin Muyu stood up and smiled. "Fengxi is here? This way. Someone, bring some tea. "
"There's no need for the trouble, Captain."
Fengxi cupped his fists and sat down on a chair. He said, "I have two matters to discuss with you."
"Oh, what are they?"
"Just yesterday, a man came to Dragon-rocky Mountain and took Hu Xiaoyun away."
"What?" Lin Muyu suddenly stood up. Her face was full of shock. "Fengxi, you mean … Long Qianlin is not dead and has returned to Lanyan City? Did … did something happen? Was he discovered? "
"Yes, everything is safe." Fengxi nodded and said, "General Long Qianlin came to Lanyan City in disguise. It is said that he has settled down in Mingshan Province, one of the four provinces in Lingnan. He has sought refuge with his cousin, Commander Lin Yu. He came to Lanyan City to borrow Madam. He also asked me to tell you that he is deeply indebted to you and will repay you in the future. However, as a wanted criminal of the Qin Empire, he can't enter the capital to visit you."
"Is that so …" Lin Muyu felt relieved. She smiled and said, "It's good that he is fine … Long Qianlin is a talented general. It would be a pity if he died like this."
Fengxi chuckled. "I admire you for your love of talent. But don't worry, Mingshan Province is thousands of miles away from Lingbei Province. The mountains are high and the roads are long. Long Qianlin will be very safe in Mingshan Province."
"Yes, I hope so too. What about the other matter?"
"Oh, it's about attacking the Tyrannical Blade Mercenary Group." Fengxi's eyes lit up. "The Tyrannical Blade Mercenary Group has 8,000 mercenaries and is quite famous in Lingbei Province. Now they want to expand their territory to Yunzhong Province, which happens to be in conflict with our Longdan Army Camp's sphere of influence. They have already issued a letter of challenge to Longdan Army Camp two days ago."
Lin Muyu narrowed her eyes. "What are the chances of Longdan Army Camp winning?"
Fengxi took a deep breath and said confidently, "If it's just the Tyrannical Blade Mercenary Group, we have a hundred percent chance of winning. But if this subordinate's guess is correct, the Tyrannical Blade Mercenary Group will join forces with the Sacred Flame Mercenary Group. This way, the total number of soldiers will exceed 17,000."
"How many soldiers does Longdan Army Camp have now?"
"More than 15800!" Fengxi cupped his fists and said, "Even if the number of soldiers is balanced, this subordinate can guarantee a complete victory. Under the training of Lady Luo Yu and this subordinate, Longdan Army Camp practices cavalry, archery, battle formations, and so on daily according to the imperial army's standards. I believe that their combat strength is even greater than the same number of imperial guards. Moreover, they are well-equipped, so this victory is more than 80 percent certain. As long as the Tyrannical Blade Mercenary Group and the Sacred Flame Mercenary Group are eliminated, our Longdan Army Camp will become the number one mercenary group in Lingbei Province. No one will dare to challenge us then!"
As he spoke, Fengxi grinned and said, "However, there is a more troublesome matter. The Flying Mount Camp of the imperial capital's garrison is less than five miles away from our Dragon-rocky Mountain. After all, this is a fight between three large mercenary groups for territory. Once the imperial army is alerted, I'm afraid that the Flying Mount Camp will not sit idly by and watch us continue to grow stronger."
"Don't worry about this."
