Fortunately, things have not reached the worst stage yet.

After a period of observation, Yasuo discovered that the reform led by Swain was facing huge resistance - the nobles among the vested interests were completely purged, but those who were attached to the nobles and the aristocratic system became

Overcame the obstacles of Swain's New Deal.

From a macro perspective, Swain's reforms should have "relatively positive historical significance", but not everyone is willing to sacrifice for Noxus.

In Yasuo's view, Noxus needs a war now more than ever before, and in this war, Swain will invest all the war dividends into reform and use profit to guide

Noxians, submitted to the new order.

As for the goals of the war...

It won't be Ionia anymore.

At the time of reform, Noxus was not yet capable of going to war with Ionia. Swain was not Darkwill's kind of thing. He was a smart man, and smart people don't do stupid things - or rather

, will not do anything that he thinks is stupid.

As for where Noxus will start the war... If you guessed correctly, Shurima will be the unlucky one again.

Before the emperor came back, Shurima was a real soft persimmon. The twin cities expanded, Icathia moved westward, and Noxus moved south. These actions had a unified content, that is, Shurima lost its territory.

If nothing else happens, another Shurima city will encounter the iron hoof of the Noxians, and it will be the kind of city that resists resolutely to the end - only in this way can Noxus get a blank

The city then distributes the benefits.

Grinning, Yasuo mentally mourned for the golden crispy chicken that had not yet been resurrected. I am afraid that after the Shurima emperor is resurrected, he will be half angry soon, right?

I hope that the little sparrow trekking in the desert can really find a road suitable for Shurima!

……………………

Yasuo breathed a sigh of relief and finally set foot on his way home with the help of Toothless.

And when he finally crossed the ocean and arrived at Weili, a small town on the border of Ionia, it had been almost a year since he last left.

During this period of time, the spring breeze of Ionia's reform finally blew across the nine provinces.

The invasion of the Noxians destroyed Ionia's original grassroots constitution to a certain extent. The clan constitution with elders and monks as the core appeared very weak in the face of the Noxus Empire. When the volunteer army raised the banner

, the entire Ionia, stimulated by the war, quickly moved closer to the wartime system.

After absorbing Kalma, the Ionian coalition government that accepted this system naturally received both religious and secular blessings, officially kicking off the reform.

Grassroots political structures began to emerge, and wartime organizations gradually transitioned smoothly toward a peaceful system. During the post-war period, Ionia was undergoing reconstruction at an alarming rate.

Although the threat from Noxus is still there, and the conflict between Vastaya and humans is becoming more and more obvious, the Ionians, who have experienced war and finally ushered in peace, cherish everything they have now. This attitude is invisible.

This provided considerable help for subsequent reforms.

After Yongen was assassinated, the group of people that Yasuo had been worried about did not continue to make trouble after all. When things couldn't be done, some of them had already joined the current Ionian system. Perhaps compared to

Their lives were much worse than before the Noxians came, but it was not worth the risk.

After returning to Ionia and setting foot on this land again, Yasuo also had a rare and subtle feeling of shyness towards home. However, before he could reflect on this rare feeling, a somewhat unexpected invitation made him

Put away all extra emotions.

The day after arriving in Weili, Yasuo received an invitation from Shen.

Ye Wu got married - the groom was not Shen, Jie or Jie, but a well-known local powerful man.

Shen didn't know how he got the news of Yasuo's return, and took the initiative to invite him to use this excuse to get together.

If nothing else goes wrong, tribulation will also appear. At that wedding, Balance and Shadow Stream, Shen and tribulation will eventually come to an end.

After confirming the address, Yasuo naturally went happily.

Shen and Zed may need to handle the matter themselves. Only Yasuo can do this as a single witness.

Maybe Ye Wu is a good witness. Shan Shen and Jie don't seem to know how to face her - for them, this wedding is growth and farewell.

Although in the Battle of Ionia, Shen, who lost his father, and Zed, who lost his master, were both forced to mature, but this maturity may not come to an end until this wedding.

……………………

The wedding was not in Navoli, but in Pasang, a small town at the foot of the Kinkou Monastery.

Ye Wu's fiancé is also a promising young man from the small town of Basang. Although he is not a great martial arts master, he is good at calculation and has quite good organizational skills. During the Battle of Ionia, he served as a logistics official

He has done a lot of credit.

After the war ended and the Basan people who were forced to move away from their hometown returned to this small town, he became the mayor here.

Although he was nominally attending the wedding, Yasuo had never actually met Ye Wu, so after casually sending a piece of art that he had received from Noxus as a gift, he never got involved in the wedding again.

Middle - Instead of staying in the guest room at the mayor's house, he opened a room in the town's inn and quietly waited for the arrival of Shen and Jie.

The two of them had been waiting for Yasuo here for a long time. When Yasuo's name appeared on the guest gift list, they immediately came to find him.

(By the way, although Yasuo registered under his real name, the person who wrote the gift list obviously didn't expect that this Yasuo was the same Yasuo - it's interesting to say that Yasuo likes to skip work. I don't know why, the whole Yasuo

Onya already knows.)

It was obvious that Shen and Zed were targeting Yasuo, but when the two figures appeared in the room, their eyes never left each other from the beginning to the end.

These two guys who are more than brothers are obviously very familiar with each other, but now they meet, they feel inexplicably strange.

Seeing Shen and Zed just as motionless as two pillars, Yasuo had no choice but to clear his throat and speak on his own initiative.

"Shen, Jie—good evening."

"..."

"..."

The two of them still had their shoulders crossed and said nothing.

Looking at these two guys, Yasuo finally felt a rare headache.
Chapter completed!
