"Stop!"
A dignified voice came from the inner hall. The president of the congress, Qin Yan, had finally arrived with a crutch. His aged face was dignified as he said, "Are you trying to rebel? Put down your bows and arrows. In front of you is the empress and the marshal of the empire. Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, how did you restrain your subordinates? "
Zhuang Yan hurriedly raised his hand, "All of you, put down your weapons!"
He glared at Liu Xiyu as if blaming him for letting his subordinates assume a fighting stance. This way, trouble followed, and it wasn't just ordinary trouble.
"Greetings, chief!" The group of congress soldiers saluted. After all, the highest commander of the congress army was chief Qin Yan in name. However, Qin Yan couldn't voice his bitterness because the congress army was never under his control.
"Greetings, Your Highness, greetings, Lin General," Qin Xiao said.
"Uncle, you may dispense with the formalities." Qin Yin said faintly. She had a stomach full of anger but couldn't vent it. Since Qin Yan was here, she had to give him face.
Qin Yan held his father's arm and said loudly, "Come, bring General Situ Sen here."
A few Sanctum instructor-level practitioners carried a person over. It was the unconscious Situ Sen. His eyes were tightly shut and he was in a daze. No one knew if he had fainted or died.
Lin Muyu hurriedly went forward and checked his breath. He was still breathing, but it was very weak. She quickly raised her palm and the healing power quickly surrounded Situ Sen.
"Big Brother, don't waste your energy." Qin Yan said, "General Sen was shot by a poisonous arrow and his body was poisoned. He won't wake up for a while unless someone knows how to detoxify it."
"What poison is it?" Lin Muyu looked at Zhuang Yan and roared, "What poison? Speak!"
Zhuang Yan stammered, "Emerald Eagle's poison …"
"Emerald Eagle's poison …" Lin Muyu was drenched in cold sweat. She had heard of this poison before. The Emerald Eagle was a rare bird, but its beak was highly venomous. The poison seeped directly into the brain and could destroy the nervous system of a person's brain. If it was delayed for too long without treatment, the person would be a cripple even if they woke up.
"You guys are so ruthless, using poison on the deputy commander of the empire?" Lin Muyu gnashed her teeth as she glared at Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, and the others. Her eyes were filled with fury, and she could not wait to burn these despicable people into ashes.
Zhuang Yan cupped his fists and explained, "Situ Sen is an Immortal State Expert, so we have to be careful."
"Do you have the antidote for the Emerald Eagle's poison?"
"Reporting to Lin General, this poison … is incurable. There is no antidote at all. We can only rely on the fate of the victim," Su Changying said.
"Fate?"
Lin Muyu smiled miserably and said, one word after another, "Situ Sen has followed me for eight years and made great contributions in the past eight years. If he dies, all of you will be buried with him. None of the five hundred thousand soldiers will be left behind. They will all be buried with Situ Sen!"
Zhuang Yan: "…"
Su Changying: "…"
Lin Muyu said coldly, "Ah Yan, go to the Spiritual Medicine Department immediately and ask Head Deacon Chu Yao to come and diagnose him. She might have the antidote. No, we'll send Situ Sen to the Spiritual Medicine Department immediately. "
"Wait!"
Zhuang Yan raised his arm and said, "Situ Sen is still a felon and can't leave the parliament. This is the rule of the constitution. Please don't make things difficult for us, Lin General."
"How dare you!"
Zhuang Yan closed his eyes and said, "If Lin General wants to kill me, then kill me. I, Zhuang Yan, will die to protect the dignity of the constitution. My death is not to be regretted, but Lin General trampled on the law. This behavior is despicable. In the future, the world will understand why I died!"
Lin Muyu smiled. "Zhuang Yan, you're a good dog, but you have such a loyal performance. Not bad."
Qin Yan cupped his fists and said, "Lin General, I think … it's better to ask Head Deacon Chu Yao for help."
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows. "Ah Yan, go quickly. Go personally."
"Yes, Big Brother!"
Qin Yan had already shattered the void and left in a flash. However, the atmosphere in the parliament was still tense.
…
After a long time, the rescuers from the Spiritual Medicine Department didn't arrive. Instead, it was the heavy galloping of horses outside the parliament. After a few loud booms, the doors of the parliament were blasted open by magic crystal crossbows. Arrows were shot in from the outside, and the 5,000 soldiers in charge of guarding the perimeter became corpses in the blink of an eye. Amidst the thick smoke, the cavalry from the Longdan Army Camp led by Wei Chou and Situ Xue charged in. In terms of combat strength, even ten soldiers from the Longdan Army Camp wouldn't be a match for one soldier from the Longdan Army Camp.
Wei Chou held a head in his hand, dismounted from his horse, and knelt on one knee. "Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Lin General!"
"Whose head is it?" Lin Muyu asked.
"A general. He has already admitted to killing a few of our brothers from the Longdan Army Camp in the Situ Residence," Wei Chou said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
Zhuang Yan was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He originally thought that the parliament would be relatively safe with so many soldiers guarding it, but he didn't expect that it would collapse at the first blow from the regular army.
Lin Muyu asked faintly, "How many people did you bring?"
"50,000 cavalry." Wei Chou cupped his fists and said, "I have already surrounded the parliament. Not even a fly can escape. As long as Lin General gives the order, I will bring people to wipe out all the soldiers in the parliament."
The simple "clean-up" was like a bolt from the blue to the commanders of the Imperial Army. After all, there were 20,000 Imperial Army soldiers stationed in the Imperial Palace!
"You … you are all crazy! You must be crazy! "Zhuang Yan muttered.
Lin Muyu sneered, "No, you are the crazy one. Zhuang Yan, do you know what kind of army is the Longdan Army Camp? This is an army that has existed since year 7731 of the Empire Calendar. It participated in the war when the Yihe Nation besieged Lanyan City. The Longdan Army Camp has been fighting for 11 years. How many people have died and how many times their blood has been changed? If the Longdan Army Camp didn't exist, the Empire would have been annihilated many times. How dare you order the massacre of the soldiers in the Longdan Army Camp? You are the crazy one who doesn't know who you are. "
At this moment, Situ Xue dashed forward and pounced on Situ Sen. Her eyes were red and anxious as she said, "Brother … What happened to you? Brother … I haven't been back for a day and you have become like this …"
"Ah Xue, General Sen has been poisoned," Qin Yin said.
Before she finished speaking, two people suddenly descended from the sky. It was Qin Yan and Chu Yao.
Chu Yao was dressed in the elegant white robe of the Great Deacon. She landed beside Situ Sen and quickly diagnosed his pulse. Her brows were slightly furrowed and she didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a set of silver needles from her waist.
"Sister Chu Yao, can he still be saved?" Lin Muyu bent down and asked.
"En."
Chu Yao nodded. "Fortunately, Situ Sen's cultivation is profound. The Emerald Eagle's poison was sealed in his blood vessels with his divine power, but it didn't enter his heart and head. I will use the method of drinking blood and purging the poison with silver needles to save him. Yu, help me guard. During this period of time, no one can disturb me. Also, tell the people outside to stop fighting. Many people have already died."
"Okay." Lin Muyu waved her hand. "Wei Chou, stop fighting. Capture all the murderers who participated in the attack on Situ Residence and send them to Ding Xi. Let Ding Xi punish them according to the military law."
"Yes, Lin General."
Zhuang Yan hurriedly said, "No, the country has its laws. They are only law enforcers. They are definitely not murderers."
Lin Muyu said indifferently, "You carry out your national law, I will carry out my military law. Without my military order, you attacked the regular army of the empire without permission. I am already being lenient by not banning the designation of the National Army."
Zhuang Yan was startled and didn't say anything else. If the National Army was banned, then this operation of the National Army was equivalent to losing everything.
…
Detoxification with silver needles was a long process. The silver needles were pierced into the blood vessels, and after a long time, black blood would flow out along the silver needles.
Situ Xue carefully wiped at the side, while Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi were guarding at the side. This night was too important for the empire. This was the first large-scale conflict between the National Army and the Longdan Army Camp. If it wasn't handled well, it would lead to civil strife. Even if the Longdan Army Camp won, how could it be considered a victory if they slaughtered 500,000 soldiers of the empire?
Lin Muyu was afraid to take action, and Zhuang Yan and the others were also afraid. This made the situation reach a delicate balance, and no one was willing to break this balance.
Until dawn, suddenly Situ Sen whimpered and slowly opened his eyes, but he was too weak to make a sound. He just blinked when he saw Lin Muyu and Qin Yin. This was already his etiquette.
"Have a good rest."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Rebuild the Situ Residence into the barracks of the Longdan Army Camp in the city. It won't be included in the plan of the residence. Buy land and double the size of the city. Accommodate 10,000 soldiers to live and train in the city. If anyone comes to cause trouble, kill them without reporting back."
"Yes!"
Wei Chou and Situ Xue showed a trace of gratification.
Lin Muyu looked coldly at Zhuang Yan and the others, stood up, stretched her body, and said, "It's better for the National Army to train properly and not make trouble for yourselves. Wei Chou, deploy 20,000 soldiers to the Longdan Army Camp to guard outside the barracks of the National Army. Without the deployment order from the Ministry of War, kill any soldiers without the empress's warrant! Xiao Yin, Xiao Xi, let's go back. "
"Okay."
Everyone escorted the empress out, but before she left the residence, a light cavalry from the Ministry of War came from afar, dismounted, and knelt on the ground. He said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Lin General, a man who claims to be the Governor of Ba Huang Province requests an audience. He says his name is QianFeng."
"QianFeng?"
Lin Muyu was stunned. "Where is he?"
"In Ze Tian Palace Hall."
"Okay, we will go immediately."
"Yes!"
…
In Ze Tian Palace Hall, QianFeng was dressed in a white robe. Behind him were four high-level demon generals, all of whom were at the rank of Captaincy.
When Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi entered the hall, QianFeng immediately knelt with his subordinates and said loudly, "QianFeng pays his respects to Your Highness and Lin General!"
Lin Muyu laughed heartily. She went forward to support QianFeng by his arm and said, "Marshal, it's been a long time. If you didn't delay the Flowing Spirit Army at the Tongtian Gorge, I'm afraid Lanyan City would have long been in the hands of others!"
"I'm just doing my duty to protect my homeland."
QianFeng touched his nose, looked deeply at Qin Yin, and said, "Your Highness, it's been a long time. Congratulations on your rebirth and obtaining the Flaming Eyes. Can I take a look at it?"
"Okay."
Qin Yin slowly opened the Flaming Eyes. Immediately, QianFeng was covered in cold sweat and said, "What a powerful domain …"
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Marshal QianFeng, you must have something to do in the Imperial Capital this time. Logically speaking, Ba Huang Province is being rebuilt. As the governor, you should be extremely busy."
"That's right. I have something to do." Qian Feng said, "When we were excavating underground magic crystals, we accidentally collapsed a mountain and made some shocking discoveries at the bottom of the mountain."
"Oh? What discovery? "
"There are many people here."
Lin Muyu smiled and waved her hand to dismiss the people around her. There were only three to five people left.
QianFeng quickly took out a white handkerchief and slowly unfolded it. There were actually two dead bees lying quietly in the handkerchief and said, "This is the discovery."
"Winter is coming, but there are still bees?" Qin Yin was stunned.
"Your Highness, the truth is here."
QianFeng quickly pulled the bee's head and tail apart. He saw that the inside of the bee was not some internal organs, but a metallic cylinder. There were even sparks on it.
"A.I. Chip …"
Lin Muyu's body trembled.
