Because of the three-eyed demon's attack, the room that Lu Qingming lived in before could no longer be used. After cleaning up the room and settling down, Li Muyang finally had time to sit down and talk with his family.
Luo Chi took Li Muyang's hand, her eyes were moist, trying to suppress the tears, but they still kept flowing down. "You've lost weight. You've lost a lot of weight compared to the last time I saw you — — silly child, you must have suffered a lot outside, right? "
"Mother, I'm fine." Li Muyang softly comforted. "I've made you worry."
"It's okay to be thinner, but you look much better than before." Gongsun Yu observed more carefully. Her son had returned and helped solve the crisis that her father had encountered. If it weren't for Muyang's timely intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Therefore, Gongsun Yu was in a particularly good mood, asking with a smile, "Muyang's cold poison has been cured?"
"It's cured." Li Muyang nodded. "This trip to Kunlun Ruins was to cure the cold poison — — Fortunately, I was fortunate enough to receive the help of the divine pet in the divine palace, and the cold poison in my body was completely expelled."
Speaking of this, Li Muyang thought of the Kaiming Beast.
That day, he was in a hurry to escape from the siege of thousands of people, and to take away the Thousand Spirit Jade Seal unscathed, he did not have time to say goodbye to the Kaiming Beast.
Strictly speaking, it was his savior, and also gave him the life-saving treasure cloud robe — —
Li Muyang thought to himself that he had promised that one day he would take it out to see the customs of the divine continent and the nine countries. Once the matter at hand was settled, he would definitely fulfill his promise.
Unfortunately, the divine palace was ethereal, and he did not know when they would meet again.
Towards his old friend, Li Muyang felt a sense of guilt.
"Muyang, that — — your father's illness — —" Gongsun Yu hesitated to speak.
"Mother, I know. This time, the most important thing is to solve the Netherworld Poison Qi in father's body. "Li Muyang understood Gongsun Yu's thoughts and took the initiative to speak up.
"I know this is a rare poison in the world, and I don't want to put too much pressure on you. But your father's health is deteriorating day by day. He really … can't hold on for much longer. I'm just a woman, I can't think of any solution. Your younger brother Tianyu also had good intentions, but this time he almost caused trouble. Fortunately, you came back in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid … I'm afraid that your father would already be gone. "
Gongsun Yu's heart was heavy.
The cold poison in Lu Qingming's body was a big stone that pressed down on her heart. As long as it was not resolved, she would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
Especially in the recent period of time, his condition had worsened, so she did not dare to be careless. She was afraid that if she was not careful, Lu Qingming would die and never wake up again.
Most of the time, the distance between life and death was just the blink of an eye.
"Is there a solution?" Gongsun Yu was overjoyed.
"Yes, Muyang, your father's illness really can't be delayed any longer. If you have a way, do it in time, otherwise — — "Luo Chi also advised. Now the two families were as close as one family, and Luo Chi had been accompanying Gongsun Yu. As Lu Qingming's condition worsened, Gongsun Yu had been unable to eat or sleep. As her former servant and now sister, this kind of pain was more uncomfortable than if she had to bear it herself. Hearing that Li Muyang had come back to solve Lu Qingming's illness, Luo Chi wished her son could immediately use the magic of rejuvenation to cure Lu Qingming.
"Yes." Li Yan, who had been silent all this time, nodded. "It can't be delayed."
Li Muyang nodded seriously. "Mother, Father, don't worry, I already have a plan in mind — — I just need to make some preparations. When I have prepared the materials I need, I can start to treat father. It will only be two days. In these two days, I will also help father improve blood circulation, remove some poisonous blood, and reduce the burden on his body — — Now that I'm back, father will be fine. "
"That's good. That's good. " A smile bloomed on Gongsun Yu's face again. "Muyang, now that you're back, you won't leave, right?"
"— —"
"You're leaving?" Luo Chi asked in a trembling voice.
"Muyang is unfilial." Li Muyang looked guiltily at the two mothers and father in the hall, saying in a heavy voice, "I also don't want to leave. It's just that there are a lot of things to deal with at hand, Muyang really doesn't dare to delay — — I'm afraid that after father is cured, I will leave immediately. "
"I just feel bad — —" Luo Chi said with red eyes. "Muyang is alone outside, everyone wants to harm him, everyone wants to kill him, there is no one around him who can confide in him — — It's too hard for a child to be alone outside, too lonely. If he stays in Wind City, he will have a bowl of hot rice to eat, and there are relatives around to take care of each other. "
Gongsun Yu sighed softly. "Go. Although I can't bear to be separated from you, but as a parent I can understand — — The Lu clan's enmity has not been resolved, Wind City is plagued by internal and external troubles, and Muyang's identity problem — — I'm afraid that if these problems are not solved, the child will not be able to stay with us. We will stay here, wait, and hope that Muyang can act cautiously. No matter what, he must protect himself and live well. You have to live well. "
"Muyang hasn't left — —" Li Yan saw that Li Muyang's eyes were slightly red, and knew that he was also feeling very uncomfortable. "You two don't have to be so sad, let's stay together for a few days and make him some delicious food to nourish his body. Isn't that right? "
"Yes. Yes. Yes. "Luo Chi quickly jumped up." I'm going to make noodle soup for Muyang. Muyang likes to eat my noodle soup the most. "
Before she finished speaking, she had already dashed out.
Luo Chi was not as graceful as Gongsun Yu, and her way of thinking was very simple. But, like all mothers in the world, she would do everything possible to be good to her son. She wanted her son to eat well, wear warm clothes, and live a happy life without illness or disaster.
Watching Luo Chi running away, Gongsun Yu said with a smile, "Your Mother has always been like this, she's afraid that you will be hungry outside — —"
Li Muyang felt the heartfelt concern of his parents, as well as the warmth and happiness of the family. He thought to himself, how could such feelings be comparable to the Dragon clan?
Even if the whole world wanted to hurt him, kill him, he was not willing to give up his identity as a human, was it not because he had these loved ones around him?
For them, what was it worth to suffer some grievances and injuries?

Li Muyang finally ate the noodle soup that Luo Chi made. The thick and chewy noodles, watered with chicken broth, was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
Li Muyang ate two bowls in a row, eating until his forehead was dripping with sweat, feeling very satisfied.
Luo Chi sat at the side, watching her son eat happily, she was grinning from ear to ear.
"Eat more." Luo Chi was still trying to persuade him. "I made a big pot."
"I've eaten two bowls, I can't eat anymore." I can't eat anymore. "Li Muyang said.
"What's two bowls of noodle soup compared to a tall man? Your father can eat four bowls. "
"— —"
Li Muyang looked pitifully at Li Yan. Li Yan turned his head and said: "Your Mother told you to eat two more bowls, you eat two more bowls — — soup and water, I'm hungry."
"— —"
They wanted him to make up for the noodle soup that he had not eaten during this period of time.
Li Muyang tried hard to eat three bowls, and when he could not eat anymore, his mother let him go.
He had just put down the bowl of soup, when Jing 'er, who had been staying in Wind City to serve his parents, brought over tea.
Li Muyang looked at Jing 'er and asked with a smile, "Are you all okay?"
Jing 'er's eyes were red, crying, "The servants are fine, it's young master — — young master has suffered. After hearing what young master has experienced, the servants are very distressed. Young Master, since you're back, you won't be leaving again. Let the servants serve you well. "
Li Muyang smiled and shook his head. "There are still some things to deal with. I will come back when I have finished. You help me take good care of my parents, I will remember your kindness. "
"Young master must not speak like that. It is our blessing to serve Master and Mistress — — "Jing 'er was about to kneel.
Li Muyang hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her back. "No need to kneel. You don't have to kneel in my house. "
It was smooth to the touch, and there was a fragrance assailing his nostrils. Li Muyang fixed his eyes on Jing 'er and found that she was more voluptuous than before, and her figure was more curvaceous. According to the rules of a large family, at this age, she most likely would have been betrothed to someone else as a wife or concubine.
"Young master — —" Jing 'er, whose wrist was held by Li Muyang, blushed and couldn't help herself.
Li Muyang quickly let go of her hand and said with a smile, "Say hello to them for me. Go and rest, I will accompany mother for a while. "
Although Jing 'er did not want to leave the young master, but it was not good for her to stay here.
She thought that the young master was more good-looking than before, and felt more mature and steady than before, more and more manly. It was already a very happy thing that she could say a few words to the young master. The other girls would most likely be jealous to death.
Jing 'er happily withdrew. Luo Chi looked at the graceful figure of Jing' er and said, "Jing 'er can already be betrothed to someone — — Muyang is not young anymore, is there a woman that you like?"
Li Muyang chuckled. "Haven't mother already seen one?"
"Qiandu is really a good girl. As the Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court, she is not delicate at all. She does things in an orderly manner and can handle everything in an orderly manner. Her words are even more pleasant to listen to, and every word can speak to the bottom of one's heart — — If Muyang could marry a woman like Qiandu, mother would be overjoyed. "
Li Muyang thought that if you knew that the Peacock King wanted to train your precious daughter to be the future Peacock Queen, you would know that the ability she showed in front of you is really nothing.
"Qiandu is excellent. She must have suffered a lot these days. "Li Muyang echoed.
"Your date — — when will it be set?"
"Mother, there are many things to do now, it's really not the time to talk about this — —" Li Muyang blushed, sounding embarrassed.
"Sigh, I also know — — I just hope that Muyang can solve these things as soon as possible, that the family can live a peaceful life, and then marry Princess Qiandu, and give birth to a few white and chubby boys — — Mother can die without regrets."
"— —"
Seeing that Li Muyang was unwilling to answer her, Luo Chi no longer forced him. "You've been walking around outside, have you heard any news about your sister Shinian? I asked Qiandu, she said that Shinian was taken away by Master Ziyang. In this vast world, there is no one who can hurt her. Now I can rest assured. "
Li Muyang nodded. "Yes. It is safer for Shinian and Master Ziyang to be together than in Wind City — — so I have not thought of looking for her. Wait until I have sorted things out, then I will pick her up. At that time, we can reunite as a family. "
"That's true." Luo Chi nodded. "No matter where you brother and sister are, as long as you are healthy, I will be satisfied — — and Qiji, have you seen each other?"
"No."
"Sigh, this child — — is usually quiet and doesn't talk much to us. She ran out alone and I don't know where she went. I begged Miss Qiandu to help me look for her, and Qiandu also comforted me not to worry, saying that when she wants to come back, she will come back. "
"Yes." Li Muyang nodded. "When she wants to come back, she will come back."
— — —
In the evening, Li Muyang convened a high-level meeting of the high-ranking military officers of Wind City.
The troops guarding Wind City were more complicated. Most of them were the Wind City soldiers that originally belonged to the Lu clan, and some of them were the trusted aides of the Lu clan who were dissatisfied with the ruthlessness of the imperial family after the collapse of the Lu clan.
Of course, in order to protect the safety of Wind City from being taken away by the West Wind Kingdom or other countries, there were also the reinforcements of the Peacock Imperial Court and the Dark Flame Empire.
At the meeting, Li Muyang expressed his gratitude to the high-ranking military officers of Wind City for their unwavering loyalty to the Lu clan, and for their hard work during this period of time. He also deployed the next part of the defensive plan.
After the meeting, Li Muyang specially invited the patriarch of the Gongshu clan and several core figures over.
Because of his brotherhood with Gongshu Yuan, and also because of the great kindness of the Gongshu clan. This time, Li Muyang did not receive them in the name of the City Lord. Seeing the Gongshu clan led in by the patriarch Gongshu Ge, Li Muyang hurriedly went over to greet them respectfully. "Muyang pays respect to Uncles. During the time that Muyang was away, I have troubled Uncles, I really feel very guilty. "
Gongshu Ge was very pleased with Li Muyang's humility. If it were not for his dragon identity, he would indeed be a very good commander of the human race. If he had ambition, the Gongshu clan would also be willing to follow him to conquer a great world.
What a pity — —
Gongshu Ge quickened his steps, helped Li Muyang up, and pulled his wrist. "Young Master Muyang, please don't be so courteous, I can't accept it."
"Uncle is my elder, it's natural for a junior to pay respect to an elder. How can I not accept it? "Li Muyang said with a smile. He then bowed to the other patriarchs of the Gongshu clan one by one, and invited them to sit in the hall.
Fatty Gongshu Yuan also came, and when he saw the colourful cloud robe that Li Muyang was wearing, he asked in a puzzled voice, "You changed your clothes again?"
"No."
"Strange. When I saw you before, you were wearing a white armour, and now you've changed into a scholar's robe — — could it be that this robe can transform itself? "
"Perhaps, it really can transform itself." Li Muyang said with a smile.
"Really?" The fatty's eyes widened. "Can you give me a set too? You know, I hate changing clothes the most. If there was a set of clothes that could transform, I would never have to change again. It would be so convenient. "
Li Muyang shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't help you with this — —"
Li Muyang did not conceal anything in front of his brothers. "I don't know where this robe came from, who made it, but it does have the effect of transforming — — However, this set of clothes was obtained in the Kunlun Divine Palace. There is only one set in the world. "
"Sigh, it feels like I've taken all the good things." The fatty looked regretful. "But, don't give up. Since that person could make one set of clothes like this, he could make two, three, or even more … — — Help me keep an eye out. If you find a second set, you must get it for me no matter what. "
"Okay. I'll keep an eye out for you. "Li Muyang forcefully held back his laughter and said.
Seeing his son and Li Muyang's deep friendship, Gongshu Ge was very happy and said, "It seems like Young Master has gained a lot this time."
"Not bad." Li Muyang nodded.
He cured the Nether Cold Poison in his body and obtained the Ten Thousand Spirit Jade Seal. If such a harvest wasn't good enough, then the others would probably have to end their own lives.
"Congratulations, Young Master." Gongshu Ge said with a smile.
"Uncle Gongshu, I invited you here today because I have something to discuss with you." Li Muyang said with a smile and got to the point.
"Young Master, please instruct us. If there is a need, our Gongshu Family will do our best."
"I really do have something to trouble Uncle and the Gongshu Family." Li Muyang did not stand on ceremony. "However, before that, I want to understand the situation from Uncle — — how many Lu Ban war chariots can the Gongshu Family produce every month?"
"Previously, with the support of the Lu clan, we could produce more than 30 chariots every month. Now there is a shortage of materials, and the supply of gold and iron ore has been cut off for a long time — — I'm afraid we can't produce even one. "Gongshu Ge sighed. Scientific research required gold coins and material support. Previously, with the support of the huge Lu clan, the Gongshu Family had a pretty good life. They could produce all kinds of swords and weapons.
Now that the Lu clan had collapsed, the West Wind Kingdom regarded them as a thorn in their side, and naturally would not sell them gold and iron. Other empires had also blockaded the Lonely West Wind City. In addition to the Peacock Imperial Court and the Dark Flame Empire who had provided a very small amount of weapons and armour, they could forget about other supplies.
"How many Lu Ban war chariots do we have on hand now?"
"There are 238 left." Gongshu Ge replied. "Two hundred are set up in key positions of the Wind City to help defend the city. The other 38 are used as backup resources, and may replace the damaged war chariots at any time. "
"If I can solve the material problem, and the Gongshu Family works with all their might, how many war chariots can be produced every month?"
Gongshu Ge exclaimed, "Young Lord can solve the material problem? It should be said that there are all kinds of rare metals and minerals — — which are banned for sale by other empires. How can we get them? "
"I naturally have a solution. Uncle Gongshu just needs to tell me the number of war chariots that can be produced every month. "Li Muyang said with a smile, deciding to keep him guessing first.
Gongshu Ge pondered for a moment. "If the whole clan mobilizes, working day and night, we can produce 120 war chariots every month — —"
"So little?" Li Muyang felt a little regretful.
"Do you know how much time and manpower it takes to make a war chariot? Do you know how many parts are needed for a war chariot and how many adjustments are needed? Do you know how many people there are in the Gongshu Family? "The chubby man angrily asked.
Li Muyang's face was full of shame, bowing deeply to Gongshu Ge. "Uncle, please don't mind me, I don't know much about machinery, so I spoke carelessly — — I've let Uncle laugh at me."
Gongshu Ge waved his hand with a smile. "What is this? No need to apologize. But from what Young Lord means — — Young Lord is preparing a big move? "
"That's right." Li Muyang nodded. "Although Wind City is strong, it is difficult to defend an isolated city. To solve the immediate crisis, we have to carry out a big move — — so we need more war chariots and other defensive and offensive equipment."
Gongshu Ge's face became excited. "That's great! The Gongshu Family hasn't had a chance to act for a long time. Our hands are getting rusty and can't wait — — As long as Young Lord can guarantee sufficient supplies, I will make a military pledge to Young Lord to deliver 180 Luban war chariots every month. As for other defensive and offensive equipment, it will depend on Young Lord's demand. "
"Thank you, Uncle." Li Muyang bowed again to Gongshu Ge. "You are the benefactor of Wind City."
"Young Lord, don't say that. Every industry has its own specialization. The Gongshu Family is just doing what they can do — —"
At the end of the meeting, Fatty Gongshu Yuan did not forget to remind Li Muyang not to forget about the rainbow-cloud robe.
Li Muyang smiled and agreed, thinking that there was no second one in the world.
It was a pity that the rainbow-cloud robe didn't know how to speak, and he couldn't communicate with it like the Kaiming Beast — — but he still had to study it carefully.
Li Muyang returned to the small courtyard where he lived and found a young boy standing in front of the door. It was Lu Tianyu, who had run away after quarreling with him today and never appeared again.
Li Muyang looked at Lu Tianyu, and Lu Tianyu also looked at his brother Li Muyang, who was walking out of the moonlight.
The two met at the door, stood still, and looked at each other for a moment before Li Muyang nodded to him. "Come in and talk. It's cold outside. "
Lu Tianyu didn't say a word, following behind Li Muyang into the small courtyard.
Creak — —
Li Muyang closed the small courtyard, and also shut the moonlight outside.
