"Cough, cough …"
Luo Xin coughed out another mouthful of blood and laid there in a sorry state. Many of his ribs were broken and his left leg was definitely fractured. Lin Muyu didn't hold back at all and completely wanted him to be bedridden for half a month. After all, Mount Qi had been occupied by the Yun Zhong Province's army and it was impossible to take it back. They couldn't openly fight each other. Lin Muyu had to vent the anger in her heart. This Luo Xin was really unlucky to have delivered himself to her doorstep.
"Young General, are you alright?"
Lin Muyu stepped forward and smiled faintly, "Swords have no eyes. It was a life and death struggle just now and I may have used a bit too much force. I hope that Young General can forgive me. I have a bottle of top notch Gold Sore Medicine here. If Young General doesn't mind, please accept it. Apply it in the morning and evening and the medicine will cure your illness. This is a first grade Gold Sore Medicine and it can't be bought on the market."
"You!" Luo Xin gritted his teeth.
The two guards of the Yun Zhong Wang Estate tactfully accepted the bottle and respectfully said, "Many thanks to Marquis Yun Ling for the medicine!"
"What are you saying? His Highness the Yun Zhong Wang is Xiao Yin's maternal grandfather and I am Xiao Yin's sworn brother. In other words, the Yun Zhong Wang is also my maternal grandfather. Young General is already my maternal uncle. We are a family and there is no need to be so polite!"
While a certain person was passionately speaking, Situ Xue's beautiful face was expressionless as she said to the chiliarchs and generals beside her, "These are all internal injuries caused by bone fractures. What's the use of Gold Sore Medicine? You still have to speak so much nonsense. Sir is becoming more and more shameless!"
The chiliarchs respectfully nodded and didn't dare to say anything.
Situ Sen clenched his fist and walked forward to punch Lin Muyu's arm. He smiled and said, "Commander, this beating is really satisfying. Let's see if this brat still dares to challenge others and act domineering. He even said that there is always someone better out there. Now he has been beaten up, right?"
Lin Muyu said, "Lower your voice. It's not appropriate to speak in front of others."
Saying that, he said to a group of imperial guards: "Hurry up and carry the Young General back to the imperial residence to treat his injuries, what are you all standing here for, do you want to eat dinner in the Holy Temple?"
The guards cupped their fists one after another, and a few of them carried Luo Xin away in a hurry.
Situ Sen raised his hand and laughed. "Longdan Army Camp, retreat!"
Lin Muyu also cupped her fists towards Xuanyuan Hong and said, "Great Attendant, shall I return to camp?"
"Alright, Yu, go ahead!" Xuanyuan Hong said with a smile.
…
After Lin Muyu and the others left, Ge Yang trembled as he held the scroll. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Yu to defeat Luo Xin in three moves. What a surprise!"
Xuanyuan Hong said with a deep look in his eyes, "Yu's fighting style is different from ordinary people. He doesn't stick to one style, and he's just too smart. If not for his martial soul's ability and the use of his moves, I'm afraid the outcome wouldn't have been decided within thirty moves. Just look at how angry Luo Xin is.
Ge Yang stroked his white beard with a smile on his face. "Great Attendant, Yu's current cultivation … I'm afraid it's far beyond our imagination. You don't know, but Yu's Star Arts and Seven Luminaries Profound Energy are the strongest techniques in the world. If he had used the Seven Luminaries Stars Transformation right from the start, I'm afraid Luo Xin would have been defeated in one move!"
"Yes …"
Xuanyuan Hong nodded. "Let's go, we'll study the Dragon Forging Bone remnant scroll that Yu left behind. Once we've completely understood it, we'll pass it on to the other experts in the Holy Temple."
"Yes, Great Attendant!"
Xuanyuan Hong couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Longdan Army Camp again. He didn't know when he had started to rely on Lin Muyu so much. This brat had hastily become the Great Attendant of the Holy Temple, but he had changed the Holy Temple too much.
…
The Cloud King's Residence was in chaos. When Luo Xin was carried into the residence, Su Muyun, Su Yu, and the rest were shocked. Looking at the heavily injured Luo Xin, Su Muyun's face was extremely twisted and sinister. Under the illumination of the fire, his eyes were filled with intense anger. "Lin Muyu is so ruthless. He actually … actually beat Xin 'er up like this. Damn it, damn it!"
Luo Xin struggled to support his body. His face was filled with guilt. "Father, Luo Xin has let you down. I … I fell for Lin Muyu's trap. If not … if not, I wouldn't have been defeated like this!"
Su Muyun held his shoulder. "Don't say anymore. Xin 'er, rest well. Someone, get the young general of the Imperial Physician Association to treat his injuries and prescribe medicine!"
"Yes!"
Luo Xin's face was filled with unwillingness. But in the end, it was just as Lin Muyu had said. With his body's recovery level, he would need to lie in bed for at least half a month before he could get out of bed.
With a creak, Su Muyun closed the door to Luo Xin's room. However, he realized that the bright moon was hanging high in the sky in the courtyard. He slowly walked to the backyard and sat down on a stone bench. He said lightly, "Someone, heat up a pot of wine for me."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Not long after, a pot of warm wine was served. Su Yu, who was at the side, poured wine for her father and said, "Father, are you disappointed in Brother Luo Xin?"
"No."
Su Muyun drank the wine in one gulp. His face was expressionless as he said, "I know how strong Luo Xin's cultivation is. He is not much weaker than Lin Muyu. If he wants to blame someone, he can only blame his battle experience for not being as good as Lin Muyu. With a little more training, he will definitely become one of the top experts in Lanyan City. The only thing I hate is Lin Muyu. He clearly knows that Luo Xin is my godson, but he still injured Luo Xin to this extent."
Su Yu gently sat on the side and leisurely said: "Then has Father ever thought that if Ah Yu really hates you that much, she would have the opportunity to kill Luo Xin and cut off one of Father's arms?"
"This …"
Su Muyun pondered and said, "He still doesn't have the courage and boldness to do so!"
Su Yu smiled, "How could Lin Muyu, who dared to kill Tang Bin and challenge the Demon Race's army of a hundred thousand with only five thousand people, not dare to kill Luo Xin? Father, ah, Father, Yu did not kill Luo Xin because of your relationship with Xiao Yin. Otherwise, with his personality, I feel that Luo Xin coming back alive is already a miracle. Perhaps, we should consider whether seizing Mount Qi is worth it. "
"What, Ah Yu, are you wavering?"
Su Muyun looked at his daughter and said, "Tang Lan is recruiting soldiers wantonly in the Seven Seas Province and Earthstar Province, ignoring Xiao Yin's military strategy. In just one month, Tang Lan has recruited a total of twelve thousand people. I'm afraid that in another half a year, Tang Lan's military strength will exceed four hundred thousand. If Tang Lan, who has four hundred thousand soldiers, intends to rebel and collude with Yihe Country, will the world still belong to Qin?"
Su Yu was slightly stunned, "Father suspects that Tang Lan will rebel?"
"Nothing is impossible." Su Muyun sucked in a breath and said, "The Demon Race is in the ascendant. According to our intelligence, the Demon Race has already rebuilt the QianFeng Corps. Their number of Armor Demons has already recovered to around fifty thousand. Adding on the Thunder Chong Corps which has not suffered much damage, as long as the Demon Race leaves the Lingdong Province, I'm afraid there will be another bloodbath. After the defeat in the Wildfire Plains, the QianFeng will not fall for the trap again. The steel walls will be useless against the Demon Race's siege weapons. Moreover … once the Demon Race starts another war, they will definitely set their sights on the entire continent. Their military strength will reach an unimaginable level. Tang Lan … humph, no one knows what he is thinking, but I know that a few high level Demon Race members appeared in Seven Seas City not long ago, and coincidentally, Tang Lan was in Seven Seas City."
Su Yu's beautiful face was filled with shock, "Father, you're saying that Tang Lan might collude with the Demon Race to overthrow the Empire?"
"Tang Lan's authority in Ze Tian Palace is declining day by day. In order to preserve his position, he might have done so, but I don't have any solid evidence. In short, we should prepare early. The day the Demon Race makes a comeback is the day the Empire will be reshuffled. Tang Lan will make some moves, and the Yihe Kingdom in the Lingdong will also make some moves. We must make the best and most complete preparations in advance."
Su Muyun sighed and said, "We also need to recruit more troops from the several prefectures in the northeast of the Lingdong Province. Also, Ah Yu, you need to take some time to return to the Cloud Province. Father will arrange for you to meet the generals of the dozen or so prefectures in the Cloud Province. They are all Father's trusted aides. If there are any changes in the Empire, they will all obey orders."
"Yes, Father, I understand."
Su Yu bowed and said, "Father, are we doing this to stabilize Xiao Yin's empire?"
"You can say that. At the same time, we will stabilize our Su Family's position in the Empire."
"En, I understand."
…
At night, Lin Muyu did not slack off on his first night back in Lanyan City. He took a lot of Darksteel from Jin Xiaotang and continued to forge weapons. The trip to the Dragon Forest this time was quite fruitful. There were a total of 224 Swift Wolf Spirit Stones from 2000 to 8000 years old. It was enough to forge many Spirit and Mystery Grade weapons. Moreover, Lin Muyu's understanding of the Heavenly Tomes had also deepened. It was time to forge Heavenly Tomes embryonic weapons in batches.
After a busy night, his commander's room was already filled with weapons. After a short rest, he began to write the Heavenly Tomes.
Since they were all Wind Spirit Stones, Lin Muyu focused on writing the Heavenly Tomes of the Wind Law. The only Heavenly Tomes of the Wind Law that he knew was the "Storm Dragon Spin" inscribed in the Divine Tomes. He had no choice but to simplify the Divine Text and write a simplified version of the "Storm Dragon Spin". To be honest, with Lin Muyu's current cultivation, he could not write the complete version of the "Storm Dragon Spin" at all.
In the afternoon, with a "swoosh", an earthy yellow light soared into the sky. At least, many people in the Longdan Army Camp saw it.
Situ Sen drank a cup of wine and looked up. He said, "Commander has written another low-grade Earthly Tomes."
Situ Xue raised her eyebrows and smiled. "This is already the fifth one this afternoon."
Wei Chou reached out and plucked the chicken drumstick from the plate. He said, "We must keep this a secret. We cannot let others know that Commander has written so many Earthly Tomes. Otherwise, there will be many people looking for trouble, especially those masters in the Heavenly Tomes Pavilion!"
Situ Xue smiled happily. "Don't worry. The people around the commander's tent are all our trusted aides. No one will know about it."
"En, that's good. Drink, drink, drink!"
